What will students do in the course?A. Interview award-winning guests.B. Help authors improve their articles.C. Connect with professional publishers.D. Edit one article for Gen Z Era.23. A graduating senior applying for a Day Program on April 30, 2024 should pay _______.A.$5,100B.$5,500C.$6,200D. $6,600BCourage is a huge theme in my life, a quality I constantly seek, appreciate, and analyze. The root of“courage”is “cor,” the Latin word for heart. Originally, courage meant“to speak one’s mind by telling all one's heart.”While courage is often associated with heroism nowadays, I believe true courage lies in being open and honest about who we are and how we feel.I recently witnessed an example of true courage. During a mountain-climbing trip with my15-year-old daughter and some college students, I noticed her struggling to keep up with the group. Despite my suggestions to rest, she persisted until she couldn't breathe properly.Panicked, I called out to the front for help, but there was no response, and we had no cellphone signal. Fortunately, two students just came back to check out on us. They offered assistance and calmed us down. As we continued at a slower pace, they shared their own experiences, from starting out as beginners like my daughter to becoming consistently among the first to reach the peak.“You know,” one of them said, looking at my daughter,“I was just like you when I started. Butwith practice and proper pace, you'll get there too.”“Yeah, don't let your lack of experience stop you,” the other added. “It's okay to admit when you're struggling or not feeling alright. In fact, it's important to speak up and ask for help when you need it. That's how we improve and grow.”Reaching the mountain top was a huge relief for both my daughter and me. However, the two students addressed the celebrating group directly, emphasizing the importance of staying together in tough environments. Their words led the group to apologize to us for overlooking our struggle.I was totally amazed at their bravery, and my daughter learned that it's okay to be the least experienced in a group. Courage, I've come to realize, has a ripple effect. Each time we choose courage, we inspire those around us to be a little brave r and make the world a little better.24. Why does the author mention the original meaning of courage?A. To argue for the true essence of courage.B. To question the common belief of courage.C. To show the changing meaning of courage.D. To compare different interpretations of courage.25. What did the two students suggest the daughter do?A. Challenge her own limits.B. Seek help whenever possible.C. Keep to a suitable pace.D. Stick with experienced climbers.26. Which action in the mountain-climbing story is an example of true courage?A. The mother asked the girl to rest.B. The girl tried hard not to fall behind.C. The group celebrated the reach of the top.D. The two students pointed out the group's fault.27. What does the author intend to tell us?A. Kindness connects us all.B. Being a beginner takes courage.C. With courage, everyone can be perfect.D. We don't have to be a hero to be brave.C“It's not unusual for guests to feel emotional when they discover the story behind our food,” says Patrick Navis. “Not to mention when they taste it. One even cried with happiness.” The setting forthese tearful scenes? Navis's restaurant in a Dutch city. Here, the owner and his team create experimental food using herbs, roots, flowers and nuts—some common, others less so.Most of these ingredients(食材) come from the Ketelbroek Food Forest nearby. To the untrained eye, it's like an ordinary wood. But there's one key difference: everything in it is edible. It was set up in 2009 by Dutch botanist and environmentalist Noah Eck as an experiment in slow farming, to see what would happen if the right combination of food plants were left to grow together like a natural forest, without chemicals.“It's the first ‘food forest’ of its kind in Europe and we’re one of the few restaurants around the world cooperating in this way,”says Navis.“We have over 400 different species of edible plants we plan our menus around, including some we previously knew little about." He harvests the ingredients and, with his fellow chefs, works them into beautifully presented tasting menus, served in a dining room hidden in the backstreets of the city,“To us, fine dining is not about the fame of a restaurant, its location, expensive decoration, fancy cooking and wine list,”says Navis.“It's about adding value through creativity and using ingredients nobody knows of, which are grown with great attention.”However, he adds, luxury cooking can be about enhancing everyday ingredients, too.“When looking at cooking in this way, who can argue that caviar(鱼子酱), for example, is more valuable than a carrot grown with specialist knowledge?”Experimentation is extremely important to Navis. In the next five years, he hopes to open an outdoor restaurant. But for now, the most important thing is to continue focusing on how plants are being grown and the perennial system used in the Food Forest, reducing the need for replanting each season.28. What can we learn about Navis's restaurant?A. It is well received by its guests.B. It serves food with moving stories.C. It offers experimental food for free.D. It is known for its rare food sources.29. How is Ketelbrock Food Forest different from ordinary woods?A. It is a natural forest.B. Diverse plants coexist in it.C. Plants there take longer to grow.D. It provides safe food ingredients.30. What is the key element of fine dining according to Navis?A. Convenient locations.B. Expensive ingredients.C. Innovative menus.D. Fancy cooking techniques.31. What does “the perennial system” in the last paragraph probably refer to?A. The sustainable farming practice.B. Farming with proper use of chemicals.C. Natural farming without human intervention.D. An experimental farm for an outdoor restaurant.DMy father started learning French at 57, drawn by the potential benefits of bilingualism in delaying dementia (失智症). Now,20 years later, he's on his third teacher. Many people like my father have attempted to pick up a new language. But can this really boost brain health?According to experts, regularly using a new language brings cognitive(认知的) benefits. If you're trying to recall the right words in another language, your brain is forced to inhibit your mother tongue. This process, called cognitive inhibition, helps improve your brain function. Repeating this process makes your brain more resistant to diseases like dementia. The more you challenge your brain, the better it functions, even if your brain health starts to decline.However, evidence for the benefits of learning a second language in your 60s is weaker. Research by Dr. Leo Antoniou found that older Italians who took English lessons for four months didn't see any difference in their cognition scores, but people who didn't saw their scores decline. Prof. Diana Smith's 2023 studies found similar results.Researchers offered a few potential explanations for their disappointing results. One is that the participants were highly motivated volunteers, probably of high cognitive level for their age, making it hard to see any improvements. “When choosing participants, we have to be careful, are they really representative of the population?” said Dr. Judith Ware. Another is that the language interventions were perhaps too short. These studies have used language lessons that “were very different in their length and frequency,” said Prof. Laura Grossman.To Dr. Antoniou, the limited findings are not entirely surprising. No one would say that learning a new language for six months would be the same as having used two languages for your entire life. But he does think that language lessons can provide cognitive benefits by being cognitively stimulating.Perhaps more important, Prof. Grossman said, learning another language offers other potential advantages, like traveling or connecting with new communities. My father, for example, has remained pen friends with his first teacher and traveled to France numerous times.And at 76, he's as sharp as ever.32. What happens in the process of “cognitive inhibition” ?A. Memory improves.B. Native language is held back.C. Dementia is cured.D. Brain health worsens.33. Which is a possible explanation for the disappointing research results?A. The intervention of the first language.B. The great length of the language course.C. The poor choice of research participants.D. The age difference of the research subjects.34. Whose opinion does the author support by mentioning his father's experience?A. Leo Antoniou's.B. Diana Smith's.C. Judith Ware's.D. Laura Grossman's.35. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?A. Is it never too late to learn a new language?B. Can learning a new language delay dementia?C. Why does my father start learning a new language?D. How does learning a new language benefit aging brain?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。

AWith two documentaries-All That Breathes and The Elephant Whisperers-making it to the Oscars, there＇s renewed interest in India＇s diverse wildlife. However, most popular wildlife parks are usually expensive. Here are four less-known reserves that are not so costly but equally worth exploring.Coringa Wildlife ReserveCoringa is the second largest mangrove forest in the country. It is a birder＇s paradise and also home to otters, jackals, fishing cats and estuarine crocodiles. Endangered Olive Ridley sea turtles nest here during January-March every year.COST OF RIDE: 400-2, 500 per person by boatBEST TIME TO VISIT: November to FebruaryNational Chambal ReserveThe 5, 400 sq km reserve is the only one in India with three keystone species-Ganges river dolphin, ghariyal and red-crowned roof turtle-along with eight rare turtle species and about 300 species of migratory and resident birds.COST OF RIDE: 1, 800 per person by boatBEST TIME TO VISIT: November to MarchGulf of Mannar Marine National ParkThe park has 21 small islands and three distinct coastal ecosystems-coral reef, seagrass bed and mangroves-with over 4, 200 species of plants and animals. It is the last reserve of the unique “living fossil”Balanoglossus that links vertebrates （脊椎动物）and invertebrates.COST OF RIDE: 200-400 per person in a glass-bottomed boatBEST TIME TO VISIT: October to MarchManas National ParkThis reserve is a UNESCO Natural World Heritage Site. It is home to the threatened Indian Rhinoceros and other rare species like the Red Panda, Golden Langur and Pygmy Hog, and is also a Project Tiger Reserve and an elephant reserve with around 55 species of mammals, 450 species of birds and 50 species of reptiles.COST OF RIDE: 1, 150 per head on elephant, 4, 400 for a jeep with fourpeople, 8, 200 per person to 10, 600 for six people in a boatBEST TIME TO VISIT: October to May1. What is probably the major concern of visitors choosing these less-known reserves?A. Season.B. Security.C. Price.D. Transportation.2. Which attracts tourists who hope to see different turtle species most?A. Coringa Wildlife Reserve.B. National Chambal Reserve.C. Gulf of Mannar Marine National Park.D. Manas National Park.3. How much does it cost for 4 people to explore Manas National Park on elephant?A. 4, 400.B. 4, 600.C. 8, 200.D. 10, 600.BWhen 76-year-old Antoinette-Marie Williams played 17-year-old Emmett Daniels in chess for the first time, she gave Daniels a run for his money. Paired through DOROT, a New York organization which was launched in 1976, they are a. perfect match. “I was a good opponent for him. I don't think he expected it. ”Williams told the CVS Health blog Fortune Well. Their weekly games have led Daniels and Williams to a cross-generational relationship that they both enjoy. Williams and Daniels＇relationship disproves the idea that people of different generations have little in common.Since its founding, DOROT has achieved a reputation of excellence and innovation in the fields of aging services. Volunteers of young ages offer critical resources to older adults, in services specific to the person's needs and interests, with the ultimate goal of lessening loneliness of the old.Loneliness has been recognized as a significant social issue for many years, but the classification of loneliness as an epidemic （流行病）has emerged only in recent years. In 2018, the UK government appointed a Minister for Loneliness, highlighting the increasing concern around the issue. This followed the publication of the 2017 report by the Jo Cox Loneliness Commission, which found that loneliness was a growing social epidemic and called for a national strategy to address the issue.Fortunately, there are ways to battle loneliness, including the intervention in the lives of isolated seniors by organizations like DOROT. It advocates building a support network by reaching out to family and friends, joining a community or social group, or volunteering to connect with like-minded people. The connection between Williams and Daniels shows that these inter-generational relationships play an important role in reducing loneliness and adding joy to the lives of all the participants, young and old.Another way to battle loneliness is to use technology to stay connected with loved ones which fosters meaning and purpose through online activities and conversations. Practicing self-care is also encouraged, as is being patient because strong relationships take time and effort to create.4. What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 1 probably mean?A. She had a running race with Daniels.B. Daniels felt disappointed.C. Daniels had a tough win.D. She gave Daniels money as a gift of greeting.5. What is the purpose of DOROT?A. To make technological innovation.B. To enhance the living standards of the elderly.C. To offer job opportunities for people of all ages.D. To provide seniors with inter-generational connection.6. What does the author try to stress in paragraph 3?A. The solution to loneliness.B. The root cause of loneliness.C. The classification of loneliness.D. The growing attention to loneliness.7. In which section of a newspaper does this passage probably come from?A. Society Watch.B. News Express.C. Page Turner.D. Science Study.CSeveral years ago, I was at a pre-season football practice at a high school where I was working with the team on. a concussion（脑震荡）research project. The players were lined up in two rows facing each other and with little more instruction from the coach than, “on the whistle, hit the man across from you”, great concern rushed through my mind.Professional sports get the lion's share of attention, but over three million children and teenagers in the United States play the same game. This directly places concussions as a significant public health concern for all.However, for decades, concussion has been considered a temporary injury with no long-term consequences. Many athletes will do just about anything to stay on the field and “play through the pain”as a sign of toughness. In 2005, with the release of the brain tissue pathology （病理学）report of Mike Webstera, a retired National Football League player, our thinking on concussion began to shift. Since then, public attention has focused on this link between brain injury and blows to the head. As our understanding of concussion progressed to understanding its significance as an injury, so too did the development of player equipment.In the early 1900s football was played without helmets （头盔）, but severe injuries, like skull fractures, led to the occasional use of leather helmets in the 1920s. The first face mask entered the game in the 1950s. Modern helmets use advanced shel1 materials, have moveable panels to absorb forces, and multi-layered padding that responds todifferent impacts. Companies will continue to improve helmets as new materials become available, guided by the newest science.Sports are an important part of a society's culture and they give millions of children much-needed exercise. Yet, participation in any sport carries injury risk, and concussion will always be part of that. As those children become adults and make sport their hobby or 'even career, ensuring them play safely at all levels is essential.8. What made the author feel concerned?A. The coach's inexperience.B. The physical conflicts among the players.C. Unawareness of the potential injuries.D. Unpredictable outcome of the project.9. What did athletes use to do when meeting with sports-related concussion?A. They tended to ignore it.B. They felt scared about it.C. They quit playing immediately.D. They refused medical assistance.10. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about concerning the helmet?A. Its gradual improvement.B. Its widespread influence.C. The discovery of its new materials.D. The difficulty of its mass production.11. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. Exercise is vital for children.B. Sports safety can't be overemphasized.C. No participation in sports is without injuries.D. Concussion is the most common injury in sports.DPeople generally feel secure with certainty. To be certain is to have power and control. Certainty is often used as a metric（衡量标准）of value, shaping how people view themselves and others. For example, people tend to respect those who present themselves as certain while viewing those who express uncertainty as wishy-washy, anduntrustworthy. Young people growing up in a culture that identifies strongly with certainty are told that to be certain is to be secure, right, and good. It is the idea, more than uncertainty itself, that causes great anxiety.But the reality is that certainty is transient; it is more a feeling than a fact. Too often people act as if certainties are drawn in permanent marker: Thick, clear, definitive, and rigid. But they are not. They are actually drawn with pencil-ready for revision, editing, and change.Springtide's recent report, The State of Religion and Young People: Navigating Uncertainty, allows us to hear how young people are questioning certainty and increasingly rejecting the rules that isolate them from themselves and one another. Milly, a 25-year-old quoted in the report, described her experience in a group discussion where uncertainty was welcomed rather than criticized:“Like, struggling to know what or what not to believe. . . . That's something we talked about in the group. It actually makes me feel a little bit better. It's like, oh, like we can have doubts. We can struggle with these feelings and they're still, we're still accepted, you know? So that was actually kind of refreshing" （Springtide, 2021, p. 46）.Young people are not rejecting certainty, but they are not accepting prepackaged answers or one-dimensional solutions. They are reexamining pre-drawn labels, beliefs, and identities and daring to ask “Why?”Their courage to question is an invitation to all of us to reconsider and rediscover uncertainty. We can listen to and learn from young people, embracing（拥抱）this opportunity as a moment of critical self-reflection and growth. If we will accept uncertainties, we might discover the ways that multiple beliefs, practices, values, identities, and communities can coexist and develop together.12. What is the purpose of paragraph 1?A. To explain a concept.B. To advocate a culture.C. To introduce a different opinion.D. To confirm an assumption.13. What does the underlined word "transient”probably mean in paragraph 2?A. Changeable.B. Predictable.C. Popular.D. O bjective.14. What was Milly's attitude towards the group discussion?A. Intolerant.B. Doubtful.C. Unconcerned.D. Positive.15. Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?A. Unmask the Culture of CertaintyB. Embrace the Gift of UncertaintyC. Certainty: Should It Be Rejected by the Young?D. Uncertainty: Should It Be Blamed for Anxiety?第二节（共5小题；每小题2. 5分, 满分12. 5分）阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

expertise.In the highly reviewed Shakespeare(2007),he raced us through the playwright’s life and works in222pages;A Short History of Nearly Everything(2003)was his624-page analysis of“everything that has happened from the Big Bang to the rise of civilisation”—and it remains the best-selling science book of the21st century so far.Can he make it again with A Really Short Journey Through the Body,which promises us a“head to toe”tour in138pages?In his books for adult readers,Bryson’s success has lain in an ability to turn vast,complex subjects into an easy and pleasant narrative,filled with tiny facts and odd stories.His latest book,which follows his adult title The Body (2020),is aimed at children as young as eight,for whom this proven writing style works well.“No doubt about it,the human body is a truly remarkable thing,”Bryson writes,and it’s the remarkable facts that interest him the most.Did you know that you blink14,000times a day?Or that it takes seven billion billion billion atoms to make you?And that if you formed all your DNA into a single line,it would reach10billion miles across the solar system?Fresh doctors might find some of the entries frustratingly brief.The tongue,for example,receives only a paragraph,while,a chapter,entitled‘Poo and Farts’,is relatively detailed:“In your life,you’ll probably poo the weight of5cars but you’ll have eaten the weight of60.So that’s not a terrible result.”Biology books can be heavy weather;but Bryson’s skill,as ever,is to turn the story of the human body into a thoroughly digestible read.4.What do Bryson’s latest book and The Body(2020)have in common?A.They are easy to read.B.They are both about physics.C.They are intended for adults.D.They are both best-selling books.5.What is the purpose of Paragraph3?A.To analyze the structure of the book.B.To illustrate the attraction of the book.C.To show the scientific value of the book.D.To display the main contents of the book.6.What does the underlined phrase“heavy weather”mean in the last paragraph?A.Packed with facts.B.Weather-related.C.Hard to understand.D.Popular and readable.7.What is the text?A.An introduction to a book.B.An essay on biology.C.A news report on science.D.A biography of a writer.CStrategically adding weak points along microscopic chains called polymers(高分子聚合物)actually makes them harder to tear,researchers report in the June23Science.Polymers are used in car tires,and therefore the findings could help reduce plastic pollution as tires wear down over time.When tires rub against the road,they drop microplastics of rubber and plastic polymers,which pollute waterways and air.Every year,tires release an estimated6million metric tons of these microplastics into environment.Stronger polymers that break apart less easily could limit the amount of particles shed annually.To make such tough materials,Stephen Craig,a chemist at Duke University,and colleagues added molecules called cross-linkers to the polymers.These cross-linkers connected these polymer chains to their many neighbors,and they were specifically designed to break apart easily.At the microscopic scale,the polymers act like a tangle(乱团)of spaghetti with the cross-linkers holding them all together and helping them keep their shape,says Craig’s collaborator Shu Wang,a chemist at MIT.When the team stretched the polymer spaghetti,the individual cross-linkers broke easily, as expected.But the larger tangle material required more force to break than they expected.The secret to the increased toughness lies in the path the tear has to take,Craig says.The tear goes through the easy-to-break cross-linkers rather than through the tougher polymer chains.Each broken connection follows the path of least resistance but avoiding the long polymer chains means breaking many cross-linkers,which requires more stretching force overall.This isn’t the first time researchers have used weak connectors to make polymers stronger.But unlike in similar materials,the increased toughness doesn’t come at the expense of other beneficial properties like stiffness(风度). Craig says he hopes the findings will help extend the lifetimes of car tires and plastics,potentially limiting annual microplastic pollution.8.What benefit does the new material bring?A.It meets the road standard.B.It weakens plastic polymers.C.It releases less microplastics.D.It reduces the cost of car tires.9.What can we know about the tangle material?A.It follows the pattern of spaghetti.B.It is designed to fall apart easily.C.The polymers help keep its shape.D.The larger tangle is harder to break.10.What is the primary factor that contributes to the increased toughness?A.The weakness of the cross-linker.B.The strength of the polymer chains.C.The number of the cross-linkers used.D.The path the tear takes through the material.11.What can we learn about the finding?A.It initially uses weak connectors.B.It sacrifices stiffness for toughness.C.It lengthens the lifespan of car tires.D.It removes annual microplastic pollution.DEver feel disconnected during a stressful event?That could be your brain protecting you.During traumatic(痛苦的)situations,people might experience an unexpected wave of emotional indifference or feel like they’ve separated from reality and are having an out-of-body experience.These symptoms of disconnect describe dissociation,a defense mechanism that separates threatening feelings and ideas from the rest of someone’s mind.But why do our minds sometimes dissociate when we’re experiencing stressful events?Typically,the sympathetic nervous system,which is responsible for our“fight or flight”response,activates when a person is in upcoming physical danger.Mammals,including humans,evolved to have this response,as it pushes them to survive by fighting or escaping from danger.Dissociation is another way the nervous system is ready to respond to trauma when fight or flight appears to be too dangerous or impossible.Dissociation can protect someone in the moment so that they are mentally separated from a situation causing physical pain,emotional pain or both.Oftentimes,victims of abuse report dissociation during the event or having foggy memories of an event after the fact due to dissociation.Nevertheless,problems can arise if people continue to dissociate even once they’re separated from the intense trauma,as opposed to relying on other coping mechanisms,for example,help from a professional.Many people who continue to dissociate often struggle with daily stress,like meeting work deadlines or speaking with peers.Many feel disconnected in their relationships and may find themselves unconcentrated during what used to be usual interactions or tasks.But the goal of addressing long-term dissociation isn’t to do away with it.After all,it can be a useful strategy to help survive a dangerous situation.But memories of the traumatic event are often disruptive and painful,so having some distance from that could mean a better quality of life after the trauma.12.What is the main idea of Paragraph1?A.It defines what dissociation is.B.It emphasizes the value of dissociation.C.It lists different symptoms of disconnect.D.It explains why we experience stressful events.13.How does dissociation work on victims of abuse?A.By erasing their memories.B.By getting rid of their emotional pain.C.By protecting victims from physical pain.D.By distancing the victims mentally from the reality.14.What might happen if people continue to dissociate?A.Failing to focus on tasks.B.Meeting work deadlines.C.Having a better quality of life.D.Relying on other coping mechanisms.15.Which of the following might the author agree with?A.Traumatic events are avoidable.B.Dissociation needs to be handled properly.C.People’s well-being is based on the distance.D.There’re enough coping strategies for traumas.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。

Mountain Warehouse Tor 65L,D. Osprey Europe Farpoint 70L.BAt just seven years old, Angelina Tsuboi discovered her passion for innovation. It all began with a simple game she programmed in her Los Angeles public school's Grade 2class. Today ,at18,the Grade 12 student's initial curiosity has evolved into a deep-seated desire to use technology to decode(解码)real-world problems.In 2021, she co-developed Megaphone, one of her first apps, to tackle unanswered post- class questions and poor communication about events and announcements. Her problem-solving ability kept building from there.When she took online CPR classes at the start of the pandemic, she figured it couldn't be just her who was struggling with the steps. So she created an app called CPR Buddy―a winner in the 2022 Apple Swift Challenge―which guides users through CPR using vibrations(震动) to regulate breath. After winning theaward, Angelina presented her work to Apple CEO Tim Cook, a highlight in her young career, but one she didn't lose her cool over. “There's no point putting people on a pedestal (神坛),”she says.The next year, Angelina built an app called Lilac, designed to assist nonEnglish-speaking single parents with resources for housing, job opportunities and translation support. She was inspired by her own experiences as a child of a single mother who immigrated to the US.When Angelina decided to pursue pilot training at the age of 16, she was struck by how difficult it was to find financial support, which encouraged her to create yet another app, Pilot Fast Track, which helps those longing to be pilots find scholarships for flight training.Looking to the future, besides applying to colleges with great labs, Angelina is exploring the field of aerospace cybersecurity and mechatronics―combining computer science, electrical engineering and mechanical engineering.“There's not enough optimism in the world," she says. “I have also been in situations in my life where I've lost a lot of hope. But in the end, it is a mindset, and there are ways in any situation you're in to make it somewhat better."4.What is Angelina's pursuit?A. To design games for kids.B. To stimulate teen's curiosity.C. To address problems through technology.D. To find innovative approaches to digital challenges.5.What can we learn about Angelina from Paragraph 3?A. She couldn't breathe regularly.B. She was inspired by celebrities.C. She replaced CPR with an app.D. She was humble about her success.6.What was the primary goal of developing Pilot Fast Track?A. To direct pilots' career paths.B. To help to-be pilots find funds.C. To pair future pilots with airlines.D. To evaluate pilot training schools.7. What might be the best title?A. Breaking the codeB. Bearing growing painsC. Facing life as it isD. Following role modelsCSome people today might be early risers because of DNA they take after Neanderthals tens of thousands of years ago, suggests new research.When early humans migrated from Africa to Eurasia roughly 70,000 years ago, some of them mated with Neanderthals, who had already adapted to the colder, darker climates of the north. The ripple(涟漪) effects of that intermating still exist today: Modern humans of non- African ancestry(血统)have between 1 and 4 percent Neanderthal DNA. Some of that DNA relates to sleep more specifically, the internal body clock known as the circadian rhythm.For the new study, researchers compared DNA from today's humans and DNA from Neanderthal fossils(化石).In both groups, they found some of the same genetic variants involved with the circadian rhythm. And they found that modern humans who carry these variants also reported being early risers.For Neanderthals, being “morning people” might not have been the real benefit of carrying these genes. Instead, scientists suggest, Neanderthals’ DNA gave them faster, more flexible internal body clocks, which allowed them to adjust more easily to annual changes in daylight. This connection makes sense in the context of human history. When early humans moved north out of Africa, they would have experienced variable daylight hours--shorter days in the winter and longer days in the summer-for the first time. The Neanderthals' circadian rhythm genes likely helped early humans' offspring(后代)adapt to this new environment.Notably ,the findings do not prove that Neanderthal genes are responsible for the sleep habits of all early risers. Lots of different factors beyond genetics can contribute , including social and environmental influences. The study also only included DNA from a database called the U.K. Biobank-so the findings may not necessarily apply to all modern humans. Next, the research team hopes to study other genetic databases to see if the same link holds true for people of other ancestries. If the findings do apply more broadly , they may one day be useful for improving sleep in the modern world, where circadian rhythms are disturbed by night shifts and glowing smartphones.8.What does the new research focus on?A. DNA's dramatic changes.B. Genes’ influence on early risers.C. Neanderthals’ sleeping patterns.D. Ancestors’ environmental adaptability.9.What is paragraph 2 intended to show concerning the new research?A. Historical context.B. Additional proof.C. Sample analysis.D. Studying process.10. What is the real benefit of carrying Neanderthal's DNA for modern humans?A .Getting up earlier. B. Having healthier daily routines.C. Being more flexible in their work.D. Possessing a better circadian rhythm.11. What can be inferred about the findings from the last paragraph?A. They get proof from other studies.B. They are confirmed by early risers.C. They suggest potential applications.D. They reveal factors in sleeping disorders.DI had to say something after reading The Anxious Generation. It is going to sell well , because Jonathan Haidt is telling a scary story about children's development many parents are led to believe. However, the book's repeated suggestion that digital technologies are rewiring our children's brains and causing the epidemic (流行病)of mental illness is unsupported by science. Worse , the rude proposal that social media is to blame might distract (分心)us from effectively responding to the real causes of the current mental-health crisis in young people.Researchers have searched for the effects suggested by Haidt. Our efforts have produced a mix of no, small and mixed associations. Most data are correlative. When associations over time are found, they suggest not that social-media use predicts or causes depression, but that young people who already have mental-health problems use such platforms more often or in different ways from their healthy peers.We are not alone here. Several analyses and systematic reviews centralize on the same message. An analysis done in 72 countries shows no consistent or measurable associations between well-being and social media globally. Moreover, studies from some authorities finds no evidence of intense changes associated with digital-technology use.As a psychologist studying children's and adolescents’ mental health, I appreciate parents’frustration(沮丧)and desire for simple answers. As a parent of adolescents, I would also like to identify a simple source for the pain this generation is reporting. There are, however, no simple answers. The beginning and development of mental disorders are driven by a complex set of genetic and environmental factors.More young people are talking openly about their mental-health struggles than ever before. But insufficient services are available to address their needs. In the United States, there is, on average, one school psychologist for every 1,119 students. We have a generation in crisis and in desperate need of the best of what science and evidence-based solutions can offer. Unfortunately, our time is being spent telling stories that are unsupported by research and that do little to support young people who need, and deserve, more.12.What is presented in The Anxious Generation?A. Scary stories affect children's brains.B. Parents are responsible for children's health.C. Teen's mental illness results from screen time.D. The epidemic of mental illness is unavoidable.13.What does “the same message ”underlined in paragraph 3 refer to?A. Many countries do research in mental health.B. Well-being and social media are closely related.C. The young are trapped in the mental-health crisis,D. Social media don't necessarily cause mental illness.14. What is implied in the last paragraph?A. Effective actions need to be taken.B. Positive stories should be shared.C. Financial support needs to be provided.D. Broader research should be done.15.What is the author's purpose in writing the text?A. To suggest ways to help those in need.B. To encourage parents to brave the crisis.C. To recommend a newly-published book.D. To give a voice to children's mental issues.第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

III.Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections:For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A,B,C and D.Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.4Ways to Get That Vacation Feeling in Two Days Going on vacation every week?It might sound like the(41)________dream.But a simple mindset(42)_________can make it happen—no travel involved.A few years ago,Holmes and her colleagues began(43)_________the importance of taking vacations.In a series of experiments,Holmes’team(44) _________441U.S.workers to either spend the weekend like any other,or treat it like a vacation.When they were back at work on Monday,people who had adopted a vacation mindset reported being happier and less stressed.“What was somewhat surprising is that the effect wasn’t driven by peoplespending time all that(45)________,”Holmes says.“It was this mindset that allowed them to be more present.(46)________being in“doing”mode,it allowed people to settle in and be in the moment.We asked people to share their favorite tips for adopting a vacation mindset at home.1.Get creative about(47)_________timeNot everyone has Saturday and Sunday off work and actually some people often find their weekend schedules fully(48)________.You could still apply the philosophy.For example,devote an hour on Sunday morning to the(49)_________, but protect the rest of the weekend as your vacation time.2.Reflect on prioritiesFocus on what makes a vacation different from a(50)________weekend.“Does it mean turning off your email notifications?Spending money carelessly?“Maybe it means being able to spend time with people you don’t normally get to see,or giving yourself a break on a workout,”Holmes says.“It’s helpful to make a list of those things and be able to(51)________.”3.Act like a(52)________Decision scientist Nika Kabiri recommends doing something totally new so you can disconnect from the same old routines(53)________your life.Among her favorite ideas:Drive to a part of town you’ve never been to before,go for a stroll,and grab lunch at the first cute caféyou see.“The spontaneity（自发性）is what makes experiences like this feel vacation-like,”Kabiri says.4.Don’t put extra pressure on yourselfTreating your weekend like a vacation doesn’t mean it needs to be a complicated affair.If your“vacation”encounters a few problems or lasts for only a few hours—don’t worry.“It doesn’t have to be all or nothing,”Kabiri says.“Don’t put pressure on yourself to have this‘perfect vacation.’”It’s(54)________to be fun.(55) ________,there’s always another one just a few days away.41.A.unattainable B.inharmonious C.incomplete D.unprofessional42.A.study B.shift C.trend D.proposal43.A.representing B.ranking C.exploring D.predicting44.A.persuaded B.challenged C.motivated D.instructed45.A.practically B.literally C.identically D.differently46.A.In light of B.Regardless of C.In favor of D.Instead of47.A.telling B.killing C.making D.changing48.A.cleared B.packed C.removed D.dominatedundry B.recreation C.movies D.picnic50.A.regular B.dramatic C.primitive D.peaceful51.A.identify with B.depend on C.follow through D.substitute for52.A.resident B.master C.tourist D.neighbor53.A.facilitating erning C.revealing D.polishing54.A.proved B.defined C.described D.meant55.A.Plus B.Hence C.Still D.Finally Section BDirections:Read the following three passages.Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements.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 just read.(A)PAUL HEMINGTON,57,is the Assistant Operations Manager at Cheddar Gorge （切达峡谷）and Caves I moved to SOMERSET mainly for my family.My daughter was getting married and I didn’t want to live six hours away,so we made the move.Once we moved,we were made unneeded and it was a mad race to get work.I ended up at here at Cheddar Gorge and Caves.Cheddar Gorge is like nothing else in the UK.It’s a unique phenomenon,because although there are other caves in the country,you don’t have the gorge elsewhere. This is a major geological feature,it’s three miles long and there’s just this natural, raw beauty.I can sit at my desk in guest services and look out at part of the gorge.It’s amazing.The Cheddar Gorge spirit is strong.You know,not having worked here or heard about the area,you come here and it gets under your skin in the right way.You become part of it,it becomes part of you.I’m very passionate about it.And there’s the amazing wildlife,the geology,the prehistory—Cheddar Man is still one of the greatest finds in the UK.Every day at Cheddar Gorge and Caves is different.You’ve got the rock sports side of things,the climbing,the caving.We take people through the caves on tours and we have pre-history,which we do with the museum,whereby we have schools come in and do demonstrations with them.We will dress up as genuinely as we can to reproduce the time period of the Cheddar Man,which is the Mesolithic period,so 10,000years ago.We do fire lighting,for example,and hopefully it’s inspiring to the young people!It’s really cool to be in the museum garden and have part of the gorge as the background while you’re doing it,so you can really submerge yourself in that moment.My favourite spot is when you go past the peak on the walk and you can look back down into the gorge or across to the reservoir.The view is amazing.Yes,you can see pictures of it,but honestly you have to be there to fully appreciate it.You might hear some buzzards or see some sheep or goats while you’re up there,just to enhance the experience!56.PAUL HEMINGTON originally moved to Cheddar Gorge to__________.A.settle down in the countrysideB.be closer to his daughternd a job as a tour guideD.take part in a competitive race57.The underlined phrase“gets under your skin”is closest in meaning to_________.A.affects you deeplyB.bothers you greatlyC.increases your strengthD.improves your skin condition58.Which of the following falls into Paul’s job descriptions?A.He goes to the school to give lectures on pre-history.B.He demonstrates to young people how to climb rocks.C.He participates in recreating the scenes in the Mesolithic period.D.He decorates the museum garden to make it look like the gorge.59.What does PAUL HEMINGTON talk about in this article?A.How he adapts to the local way of life.B.What major local attractions are worth seeing.C.Why Cheddar Gorge ranks first as a natural wonder.D.What makes Cheddar Gorge so special to him.What’s the best way to keep track I’m not sure what the best way is,butShould I use single quotes or It doesn’t matter!Usually it’s a matter of60.________are most useful for controlling timelines of the story.A.Character sheetsB.Dialogue recordsC.PhotographsD.Spreadsheets61.The appropriate example in the box should be __________.A.‘I saw Anne at writing group,’Milly said.‘And she came rushing up to me and cried,“I’ve done it at last.I’ve got an agent!”’B.“I saw Anne at writing group,”Milly said.“And she came rushing up to me and cried,‘I’ve done it at last.I’ve got an agent!”C.‘I saw Anne at writing group,’Milly said.“And she came rushing up to me and cried,‘I’ve done it at last.I’ve got an agent!’”D.“I saw Anne at writing group,”Milly said.‘And she came rushing up to me and cried,‘I’ve done it at last.I’ve got an agent!’62.Which of the following questions is most likely to be asked by Grace Louise,whois dreaming of becoming a novelist?A.When and where will your next novel be published?B.What should I write about to win the writing competition?C.Do you have any tips for overcoming the writer’s block?D.Can you give us a lecture on choosing the right topics?(C)A forest in Staffordshire (in the UK)transformed into a hi-tech laboratory.Researchers here are investigating how the trees use carbon,and it’s difficult to find out.In an unusual experiment,extra carbon dioxide is piped to the trees,to create the kind of atmospheric conditions expected in the middle of the century.And instruments measure how the forest reacts.The scientist in charge says there’s still a lot to learn.And he worries that governments and companies are rushing to plant trees as an easy answer to climate change.“If you try and use trees to tidy up the mess that we’re making through emissions,you are putting those trees into a very rapidly changing climate and they will struggle to adapt,”said Professor Rob MacKenzie,University of Birmingham.This device tracks the movement of carbon dioxide.In a healthy forest,the gas is not only absorbed by the trees but some is released as well.What scientists here are finding out is the way carbon flows into a forest and out of it is a lot more complicated than you might think.So,if mass tree planting is meant to be a solution to tackling climate change,the trees are going to have to be monitored and cared for,go.It’s for tracking not plotting,but it couldbe used for that if you plotted whathappens in each chapter.Hope this helps,Amanda.Grace Louiseover not just decades,but may be centuries as well.Of all the challenges,the task of planting is the simplest.Shelby Barber from Canada can do an amazing4,000trees in a day.“People talking about planting millions billions of trees around the world.Is it possible do you think,physically?”asked BBC.“It’s definitely possible with the right amount of people,the right group of people. I’ve personally,in three years,planted just over half a million trees.”said Professor Rob MacKenzie.Once planted,the trees need to survive,and experts are mixing different types to minimize the risk of disease.“It’s a bit like making sure you don’t put all your eggs in one basket,you’re spreading out your risk.And then if one part of that woodland fails, for whatever reason,it gets a disease or it can’t tolerate future climatic conditions, there are other parts of the forest that are healthy and able to fill in those gaps.”said Eleanor Tew of Forestry England.Suddenly there’s momentum to plant trees on a scale never seen before.So what matters is doing it in a way that ensures the forests thrive—so they really do help with climate change.63.Why is extra carbon dioxide piped to the trees in the experiment?A.To predict the future atmospheric conditions.B.To imitate the possible air condition in the future.C.To create an instrument to measure atmospheric conditions.D.To investigate the quality of air condition in the future.64.The underlined word“some”in the second paragraph refers to__________.A.oxygenB.carbon dioxideC.messD.purified gas65.What will Eleanor Tew suggest concerning the survival of the forest?A.Minimizing the area of the woodland.B.Studying future climatic conditions.C.Planting different types of trees.D.Avoiding mixing different species.66.Which statement concerning mass tree planting will Professor Rob Mackenziemostly likely agree with?A.It should be advocated in terms of efficiency and convenience.B.It is the most effective solution to fighting climate changes.C.It will do more harm than good to the health of the environment.D.It needs to be studied further as a measure against climate change.Section CDirections:Read the passage carefully.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.It has also designed a special program that lets people return used furniture pieces to its stores so they can be fixed and used again by consumers.B.This would help to reduce overall waste,as it would extend the life cycle of old furniture items.C.Although these items may cost less initially,they are more expensive because they will need to be replaced sooner than traditional pieces of furniture.D.This creates a lot of pollution,as the furniture ends up buried in landfills where it can harm the soil.E.Homeowners are looking for furniture that is kinder to the environment.F.By choosing furniture that’s made to last,we can help reduce waste and protect the environment.The Fight against Fast FurnitureFast furniture is a term that refers to furniture that is produced cheaply and quickly.These items are often bad for the environment because they are made from materials that break easily and need to be replaced often.(67) ____________________To help protect the environment,a movement to move away from fast furniture has begun.Many companies are joining the fight by finding cleaner ways to manufacture furniture.For example,IKEA has agreed to switch to using renewable or recycled materials for their furniture by the year2030.(68)____________________ There is also a push to encourage shoppers to buy more used furniture for their homes.Small businesses that help transform old chairs and sofas into completely new products have even popped up recently.At the end of the day,consumers will play the most important role in the fight to end fast furniture.Shoppers should try to think more about the long term when preparing to purchase new furniture.They should stay away from furniture that is made from cheap materials like fiberboard or plastic because they will often fall apart after a few years.(69)____________________A much better alternative is furniture made from real wood because it won’t break as easily.If wood furniture is damaged,it can often be repaired to last longer. High-quality metals are another good material,as they are durable.If the furniture isno longer fit for use,these metals can still be recycled and used to make new products.(70)____________________So,the next time you buy furniture,think about whether it’s something that will last a long time or it’s just fast furniture that will break soon and go into the trash.IV.Summary WritingDirections:Read the following passage.Summarize the main idea and the main point(s)of the passage in no more e your own words as far as possible.Digital Nomads(游牧人)How would you like to answer your work emails from a beachfront caféin Thailand or a coffee shop in Portugal?If that appeals to you,being a digital nomad might be for you.Digital nomads can literally work from anywhere as their jobs are online.Digital nomads rely on portable devices with wireless Internet capabilities such as laptops,tablets and smartphones.Typically,they work from coffee shops, restaurants,co-working spaces,apartments or internet cafés—places with an Internet connection.Worldwide,statistics show the number of digital nomads hit35million in2021. So what is it that makes the lifestyle of digital nomads so fascinating?First and foremost,digital nomads get to live in different countries and cultures while they work,providing them with opportunities to have adventures and experience new things.These folks have also found the most flexible means of online incomes, allowing them to head out at a moment’notice and go where they please.“I’m free,”says Nimisha Walji,“I can go where the wind takes me and live any place I choose!If I feel like a change,I can pursue that in a matter of days,sometimes hours.”You may think that being a digital nomad is all sunshine and rainbows.It is not necessarily so.Job finding is one of the hardest tasks for the digital nomad,given that they have no permanent home,no office address,and no one knows them.To apply for a job,they need to find the employer and persuade him to hire them.Most of the employers hire from their own city,and that’s why it’s so hard for a nomad to find a job.Access to stable Wi-Fi and adequate workspace can be difficult.If someone struggles to stay focused at home,there can’t be a worse place than a fascinating holiday location.Few people can manage to be productive faced with the temptations and distractions.It seems that living the life of a digital nomad isn’t for everyone.V.TranslationDirections:Translate the following sentences into English,using the words given in the brackets.72.冷静，别让焦虑影响你的表现。

They're perfect for spotting feathered friends in the wild, whether the birds are high up in the trees or soaring across the sky. When you peer through them, you get a view that makes every little detail of the birds一their colors, beaks, and even the texture of their feathersThe Robin: A Biography by Stephen MossThis beautifully illustrated book draws readers into the mysterious world of Britain's favourite bird, the red robin—a fam山ar sight in all winter gardens, but as naturalist Stephen Moss demonstrates, one we hardly know Combining convincing sto1-ytelling with biological fact, Moss guides us through a year in the life of the robin, from the moment it hatches f r om its egg to its all too timely mortality（死亡）一th e robi11 tends to live a mere 13 months, adding to its precious qualityA reusable thermal bottleEvery good birding expedition needs a bottle of steaming hot tea.

It st打ted off as a normal car trip. Angela Shymanski, Lexi's mom, was at the wheel, navigating the tricky roads of the Rockies with her daughter Lexi and her baby Peter in the c打．An unexpected animal ran into the road. Angela swerved （突然转向）to avoid the animal. Unfortunately, their car was off the road, falling down a steep embankment（路堤）The crash was nothing short of terrifying. Angela ended up with a broken back. She was unconscious, and unable to help her babies. Meanwhile, baby Peter's cries echoed in the chaos. But Lexi, only five years old, didn't fr e eze. Instead, she showed courage that would leave many grown-ups in awe.She quickly jumped into action. The little girl, without even shoes on her feet, wrestled fr e e fr o m her seatbelt and climbed the 40-foot embankment. Once she reached the top, Lexi did everything she could to flag down a passing car in order to get help for her mom and brother.Lexi's insistence filially paid off.A car stopped, and the people inside didn't hesitate to help her call for emergency services. When the paramedics（护理人员）arrived,they found Angela in a severe state, and her heart had stopped. Thankfully, they managed to bring her back.Lexi's dad, reflecting on the incident, couldn't help but be amazed by his daughter's bravery. He沁tressed how important it is for kids to be prepared for emergencies, shocked at how Lexi remembered and acted on what she had been taught. It's a powerful reminder of what kids can do when push comes to shove.And Lexi's heroism didn't go unnoticed. She was awarded a Bronze Medal for Bravery by the police.

French bulldogs specifically suffer from increased daytime sleepiness, probably due to not getting enough night-time sleep.With their big eyes staring right back at the owner, and wrinkles rolled over their noses, French bulldogs have shot up in popularity in recent years. But their distinct features and small size come with a number of health issues.The researchers studied the sleep patterns of 92 dogs accompanied by their owners. They found that compared with other dogs, the flat-faced dogs experience a longer period of rapid eye movement (REM), regarded as the stage of sleep with most vivid dre扣ns where the brain is active while the body remains still. Researchers said this was similar to the way babies sleep, suggesting that dogs, like French bulldogs, keep up the sleep patterns of puppyhood Their night-time sleep is shorter and flat-faced dogs are also more likely to snoring（打酐）“Sleep deprivation is increasingly recognized as a major cause of suffering in dogs with extreme brachycephaly（短头畸形），“said Dan O'Neill, an associate professor f r om the University of LondonThe researchers employed an electroencephalogr皿（脑电图）throughout the dogs'sleep. They looked particularly at sleep spindles （睡眠纺锤波）．They found that dogs with brachycephaly had an increase in sleep spindles, which in dogs has been associated with poorer learning whe.n it comes to trainingA researcher said, "We know that some of these dogs will sleep with a ball in their mouth, and people think it's cute, but they're actually doing it in order to keep their airways open. "O'Neill agreed, "Many owners find this phenomenon very funny and post videos online showing how comical their dogs are as they sleep with a toy in their mouth or with their neck extended or repeatedly waking up to breathe during sleep. "28.What may lend to flat-faced dogs increased daytime sleepiness?A. Their tendency to sleep with owners.B.Their preference for daytime nappingC.Their shorter night-time sleep due to the head shape.D. Their habit of sleeping in uncomfortable positions.29.What do we say about flat-laced dogs from paragraph 3?A. They differ [rom human beings in REMB.They require less sleep than other speciesC.They're less likely to suffer sleep disturbancesD. They maintain puppy-like sleep patterns as adults30.What does the increase in sleep spindles in flat-laced dogs imply?A. They have a stronger memory during sleepB.They have a strong desire to sleep duri11g the nightC.They are more likely to succeed in hru·d trainingD. They may face challenges in learning during training.31.Why do some flat-faced dogs sleep with a toy in their mouths?A. T hey want to have pleasant dreams.C.It helps them maintain an open皿1i rway.B.It prevents them from snoring loudl yD. They enjoy playing with toys while sleeping DResearchers have developed a robotic sensor that combines artificial intelligence techniques to read Braille（盲文）at speeds roughly double that of most human readers. The research team, from the University of Cambridge, used machine le打ning algorithms（算法）to teach a robotic sensor to quickly slide over lines of Braille text The robotic sensor the researchers used has a camera in its "fingertip", and reads by using a combination of the information from the camera and the sensors. "This is a hard problem for roboticists as there's a lot of image processing that needs to be done to remove motion blur (ffl:ml), w h i ch i s t i m e a nd e n e r g co n s um i（模糊），which is time and ener g y-con s umin g," said Paith Potdar f r om Cambridge's Department of Engineering"There are existing robotic Braille readers, but they only read one letter al a time, which is not how humans read," said Potdar. "Existing robotic Braille readers work in a牢出£way: They touch one letter pattern, read it, pull up f r om the su1f ace, m ove over, lower onto the next letter pattern, a nd so on. W e want something that's more realistic and far more efficient. "The team developed machine learning algorithms so the robotic reader would be able to "deblur" the images before the sensor attempted to recognise the letters. They trained the algorithms on a set of sharp images of Braille with fake blur applied. After the algorithms had learned to deblur the letters, they used a computer vision model to detect and classify each character.Once the algorithms were incorporated, the researchers tested their render by sliding it quickly along rows of Braille characters. The robotic Braille render could read 315 words per minute with 87% accuracy, w hich is twice as fast and about as accurate as n human Braille reader.“Bra仆le reading speed is a great way to measure the dynamic performance of tactile（能触知的）sensing systems, s o our findings could be applicable beyond Braille, f or appli c ations like detecting surface textures or slippage in robotic manipulation," said Potdar.In the future, the researchers are hoping to scale the technology to the size of a humanoid hand32.What is diff i cult for roboticists to deal with in the reading process.?A. Ridding of motion blur.B.Teaching a robot to learn.C.Processing robotic sensors.D.Fixing a camera on the fingertip.33.What does the underlined word "static" in paragraph 3 mean?A.Still.B.Fast.C.Clever.34.What did Potdar want to express in paragraph 6?A.

安徽省安庆市2024届高三下学期模拟考试（二模）英语试卷学校：___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________ 一、阅读理解Winter vacations don’t have to be about snow. From scenic coastal journeys to wildlife watching, we have found a trip for every type of winter wanderer. Here’re some hot spots.Road-trip down Oregon’s scenic coastOne of Oregon’s Seven Wonders, this 363-mile stretch of coastline is filled with landscapes, waves, headlands, and winter storms. There’s no shortage of stops on the scenic route from Astoria to Brookıng s. Visit coastal communities, spot sea lions at Shore Acres State Park, watch dancing lellyfish at the Oregon Coast Aquarıum, and explore 79 state parks.Enjoy the light show in San Antonio, TexasFrom late November to early January, millions of twinkling lights decorate the San Antonio River Walk in an eye-catching display. Riverboats carrying diverse mix of bell choirs, folk groups, and Latino bands fill the air with carols on evenings through late December.Soak in New Mexico’s natural hot springsWith more than 300 days of sunshine a year, five national forests, and 17 national parks and monuments, New Mexico is a paradise(乐园) of outdoor adventure. After an active day, loosen up your muscles in comfortable mineral springs.Celebrate New Year’s Day with t he mummers in PhiladelphiaOn New Year’s Day, thousands of brightly costumed people take to the streets of Philadelphia for the annual Mummers Parade, the oldest continuous folk parade in the U. S. The people line the streets of the City of Brotherly Love from JFK Boulevard down Broad Street to watch the mummers (哑剧演员) flood the city in an explosion of color, music, and dance.1．Where should visitors go if they want to explore coastal life?A. Oregon.B. San Antonio.C. New Mexico.D. Philadelphia.2．What is the right time for enjoying the light show?A. October 26.B. November 1.C. December 16.D. February 4.3．Where is the text most probably taken from?A. A history book.B. A travel brochure.C. A course plan.D. An art journal.The Feast of the Seven Fishes is an Italian-American tradition that dates back to animmigration (移民) wave in the 1900s. The Italian American tradition of the “Feast of the Seven Fishes” has appeared in movies and recently in the hit show The Bear. But talking of the origin, you’l l get many different answers. The Feast of the Seven Fishes is a dear tradition to many Italian Americans who enjoy at least seven different seafood dishes on Christmas Eve.A vast majority of Italian immigrants to the United States were from rural Southern Italy at the turn of the 19th century. They came to America because there were jobs from building railroads to skyscrapers. Friends and families found success and brought their loved ones tofamilies in Southern Italy. Others say the sea represented Italian Americans’ connection between their old and new homes.Writer and director Robert Tinnell made a comic in 2004 about his experience with the Feast of the Seven Fishes, which he later made into a 2019 movie. Growing up in North Central West Virginia, he fondly remembers his great grandmother organizing the Feast. After she died, his grandfather and other men in the family took over. That particular manly activity is something that the first Italian immigrants would have also performed out of necessity: men came to America first, without their wives and daughters.However, knowledge about where to shop, when to prepare, how to cook, the history behind the meal and family traditions soon became the responsibility of mothers to pass down to their daughters, says Di Giovine, a professor at West Chester University of Pennsylvania. They are also likely the ones who have the final say in making changes to recipes. Over time, families often adjust the menu to make things easier, cheaper, more abundant, and more accommodating of dietary restrictions.4．What do we know about the Feast of the Seven Fishes?A. It relates to a story of Italians.B. It’s made up of seven fishes.C. It marks a vital historic event.D. It’s about Americans in Italy.5．What does the underlined word “impoverished” in paragraph 2 probably mean?A. Needy.B. Unfortunate.C. Extended.D. Uneducated.6．What can we infer about Robert Tinnell from paragraph 3?A. He loves fishes.B. He’s an editor.C. He’s emotional.D. He teaches writing.7．What can be the best title for the text?A. A Fish-making MethodB. A Festival TraditionC. A Cookery BookD. A Special CelebrationA middle-aged woman playing by herself in the snow is an undeniably odd sight, but maybe it shouldn’t be. New research suggests that modern adults are suffering from overmuch depression, so play may be as essential to our health as sleep. We’ve been in our nature to play, which is causing all kinds of problems—for ourselves, our children, and our planet.It’s believed that adult play can lead to useful discoveries, which is supported by a study on Bali’s long-tailed monkeys. For her doctoral paper at the University of Lethbridge, animal researcher Camilla Cenni left two types of puzzle boxes for the monkeys to solve. To get the food inside, they had to drop a rock into the container or use it to hit the box. She found the monkeys that previously had been observed dropping rocks for fun were more likely to solve the rock-dropping puzzle, while those that had discovered the joy of tapping rocks together think of the answer to the tapping puzzle.This finding also suggests that somewhere, deep in our evolutionary history, a playful proto-human(原始人) came up with the concept of stone tools. Even today, the urge to play underlies most of humanity’s greatest inventions, artworks, and scientific breakthroughs, Brown says. “When I interviewed Nobel winners, I was struck by how most of them didn’t separate work and play. Their labs were their playgrounds”.“The opposite of play isn’t work; it’s depression,” says play researcher Stuart Brown, “Play is all about looking at a tough world with creativity and optimism. It gives us the ability to cooperate and ge t along with people who differ from us,” He goes so far as to declare that “adult play is necessary for our survival as a species.”The next time I’m caught playing, I know exactly what I’ll say: “I am not wasting time, or acting immature. I’m doing nothing for the benefit of all humanity. You’re welcome.”8．What is the phenomenon the author describes at the beginning of the text?A. Playing with snow is strange.B. Wild nature is difficult to find.C. Many people are stressed out.D. People enjoy living close to nature.9．What is paragraph 2 of the text mainly about?A. The necessity of the study.B. The importance of adult play.C. Main activities of monkeys.D. Various functions of a rock.10．What is the author’s purpose in mentioning a playful proto-human?A. To explain the concept of play.B. To compare two research findings.C. To highlight scientific breakthroughs.D. To offer some background information.11．Which of the following best describes the author in the last paragraph?A. Humorous.B. Optimistic.C. Caring.D. Active.Nobody knows yet what the best way of removing all that carbon will be, but scientists around the world are developing a new method. The Swiss company Climeworks is building big extractor (抽油烟机) fans to remove carbon.But other scientists are looking to nature’s carbon cycle for inspiration. They’re looking for ways to improve it, speed it up and help it take more carbon out of the air permanently.One of those scientists is Professor Luke Mackinder, a plant biologist at the University of York. His research into carbon removal is inspired by ocean algac (海藻). “About half of carbon absorption takes place in the ocean,” he says. “Algae are extremely efficient at absorbin g it.”In order to do this, his team has studied the genetic code (基因密码) of algae to work out which genes play a vital role in carbon absorption. He believes they have now figured this out. “Now we have a list and we can start thinking about how to bring them together in different living things,” he says. “We place the genes into those of other plants. It’s genetic modification.”Mackinder anticipates adding them to a range of crops and trees. The resulting increased production could be good for food security. Alternatively, they could help to enhance the in fluence of climate change. It all depends on what we do with the carbon once it’s trapped in those plants. Eating them would quickly return it to the atmosphere. But if instead we find ways to store it, we could keep it out of the atmosphere for good.Dave Hillyard, chief administrator of the Carbon Technology Research Foundation that is funding Mackinder’s research, says that it is important to fund work on a wide range of carbon removal methods, because “some will not get the results they’re looking for a nd some will succeed. There are a lot of opportunities here but very little funding and research going into it.”12．What is discussed in the first paragraph?A. An approach to carbon removal.B. A way to improve big extractor fans.C. A means of joining a company.D. A method of doing scientific research.13．Why does Professor Luke Mackinder focus on ocean algae?A. It is secure.B. It is effective.C. It is sufficient.D. It is accessible.14．What can we know about the genes of algae from the fourth paragraph?A. They bring about great side effects.B. They are useless for carbon absorption.C. They help increase food production.D. They have been put into other plants.15．What is required according to Dave Hillyard?A. The government’s permission.B. More scientists’participation.C. Increasing experimental chances.D. The input into the research.二、七选五16．How to Make Your Clothes Last LongerWe have to throw out some clothes that we love just because we’ve not taken good care of them.

She promised a doctor a lot of money if he could make her see again. “If you fail, you will get nothing.”she said. The doctor agreed.The doctor soon discovered what was wrong with her, but he decided not to cure her right away. Instead, each time he visited, he secretly took some of her things. When he had taken everything he wanted, he cured her blindness and sent her a large bill.Now when the ole woman could see again, she noticed that all her things had gone and she refused to pay the bill. So the doctor took her before a judge.“What the doctor says is true,” she said to the judge. “But I say I am not cured, because I still can‟t see any of the things in my house.”The old woman won the case and the doctor went away unhappily without getting his pay.正误判断：正确的在答题卡上填涂A。
