湖北省武汉市武钢三中2024-2025学年高一上学期10月月考英语试题一、阅读理解Short stories are amazing. You can get something useful out of them.The Bogey BeastFlora Annie SteelA woman finds a pot of treasure on the road. Pleased with her luck, she decides to keep it. As she is taking it home, it keeps changing. However, her enthusiasm(热情)refuses to fade away. Her positive personality tries to make every terrible situation seem like a gift.There Will Come Soft RainsRay BradburyEarth has been destroyed by war. However, machines continue to function and serve humans who have long ago died. The title is taken from a poem describing how nature will continue its work long after humanity is gone. But in this story, we see that nature plays a supporting role and machines have taken its place.The Tale of Johnny Town-MouseBeatrix PotterTimmie is a country mouse accidentally taken to a city. He finds himself at a party and makes a friend. When he can’t bear the city life, he returns to his home. When his friend visits him, something similar happens. Village and city life are recent inventions and we need to decide their costs and benefits.The Night Train at DeoliRuskin BondWhile taking the train, Ruskin Bond always has to pass through a small station called Deoli. One day he sees a girl selling fruit and he is unable to forget her. This is about our attachment to strangers and why we treasure them even though we do not meet them ever again.1．What does There Will Come Soft Rains want to teach us?A．Nature works in its own way.B．Humans shouldn’t break natural law.C．Technology can still function without humanity.D．Technology should be developed to serve our life.2．What happened to Timmie’s friend?A．He settled down in the village.B．He made many friends in the village.C．He couldn’t get used to the village life.D．He couldn’t bear the life in the city anymore. 3．Whose story tries to show the connections between people?A．Flora Annie Steel’s.B．Ray Bradbury’s.C．Beatrix Potter’s.D．Ruskin Bond’s.I want to share with you a story from 28 years ago. My dad was a used car salesman. Every Thursday night, he would head off to Shreveport, LA for an auction (拍卖会). Most of the time, I drove a car over there for him so he could sell it at the auction.One day I was riding with my dad when he noticed a hitch-hiker (搭便车的人) with a backpack. Without hesitation, he pulled the car over and offered him a ride. Dad asked him his name, and proceeded to talk to him about all sorts of things. Dad asked him where he was going. The hitch-hiker told him that he was heading for the west. I can’t recall why but he told Dad a lot of things that had occurred to him and that persuaded him to make that decision. He talked about the tragic events that occurred to him several years before. He was in low spirits, but I could see that the hitch-hiker’s attitude was changing as someone was really listening to him.We drove 45 minutes before the hitch-hiker got off. We pulled over and Dad told him to keep his head up and things would start looking up for him soon. He reached into his pocket and handed the hitch- hiker a twenty-dollar bill. The guy smiled. He nearly lit up right there on the cold, dark highway.We drove on and my dad did not say a single thing. I was still completely surprised by what I had just witnessed. I was always told by everyone never to pick up a hitch-hiker and yet my dad did it every single time he saw one. While reflecting upon that story I came to understand that just one single kind act could change someone’s life. And I am sure that my father’s deed made that poor man’s day.4．What made the hitch-hiker become less upset?A．The writer’s father talking to him about all sorts of things.B．The writer’s father offering him a free ride.C．The writer’s father really listening to him.D．The writer’s father agreeing to drive him to his destination.5．When his father helped the hitch-hiker, the writer ___________.A．was deeply moved B．strongly disagreedC．admired his father D．couldn’t understand6．Which of the following words can be used to describe the father?A．Wealthy.B．Warm-hearted.C．Far-sighted.D．Adventurous.7．What’s the writer’s main purpose of writing this text?A．To tell a story of his father.B．To show his respect for his father.C．To prove his father is the best teacher.D．To advise people to learn from the hitch-hiker.New research suggests that dogs might be able to help save diseased citrus trees.A group of scientists trained dogs to use their sense of smell to detect a crop disease called citrus-greening. The disease has affected orange, lemon and grapefruit trees in the American states of Florida, California and Texas.The dogs can detect the disease weeks to years before it appears on tree leaves and roots, the researchers report. A study on their findings was published recently in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The report says using dogs is also faster, less costly and more exact than having people collect hundreds of leaves for lab analysis.Timothy Gottwald is a researcher with the U. S. Department of Agriculture and a co-writer of the study. He told The Associated Press, “This technology is thousands of years old-the dog’s nose. We’ve just trained dogs to hunt new prey.”Citrus-greening is caused by a bacteria (细菌) that is spread by a tiny insect that feeds on the leaves and stems of citrus trees. Once a tree is infected (感染), there is no cure. The disease has also hurt citrus crops in Central and South America and Asia. In one experiment involving grapefruit trees in Texas, trained dogs were correct 95 percent of the time in telling the difference between newly infected trees and healthy ones. “The earlier you detect a disease, the better chance you have at stopping an epidemic (流行病) by removing infected trees,” Gottwald said.Matteo Garbelotto studies plants at the University of California, Berkeley. He says the new research shows that dogs can detect an infection well before current methods. Garbelotto has been involved in similar research but had no part in the new study.Laura Sims is a plant scientist with Louisiana Tech University. She praised the steps taken to find out if the dogs were detecting the bacteria itself or a plant’s reaction to an infection. To do that, the researchers infected different kinds of unrelated plants with the bacteria in a laboratory. The dogs were still able to pick out the infected plants.Gottwald said, “You’ve seen dogs working in airports, detecting drugs and explosives. Maybe soon you will see them working on more farms. ”8．According to the research, trained dogs can ________.A．help infected trees recover from diseases B．recognize a crop disease in its early stage C．cause fruit trees to grow faster than usual D．reduce the cost of planting some fruit trees 9．What does the underlined part “new prey” in Paragraph 4 refer to?A．Infected plants.B．Fruit trees.C．Tiny insects.D．Favourite foods. 10．Why did the researchers do experiments on unrelated plants?A．To further prove the findings.B．To explore the plant diseases.C．To present different opinions.D．To discover a plant’s reactions.11．How does Gottwald feel about the future use of this new method?A．Doubtful.B．Positive.C．Indifferent.D．Curious.The idea that richer countries are happier may seem intuitively (直觉地) obvious. However, in1974, research by economist Richard Easterlin found otherwise. He discovered that while individuals with higher incomes were more likely to be happy, this did not hold at a national level. In the United States, for example, average income per person rose steadily between 1946 and 1970, but reported happiness levels showed no positive long-term trend.; in fact, they declined (下降) between 1060 and 1970. These differences between nation-level and individual results gave rise to the term “Easterlin paradox”: the idea that a higher rate of economic growth does not result in higher long-term happiness.Having access to additional income seems to only provide a temporary surge (激增) in happiness. Since a certain minimum (最小的) income is needed for basic necessities, it’s possiblethat the happiness boost from extra cash isn’t that great once you rise above the poverty line. This would explain Easterlin’s findings in the United States and other developed countries. He argued that life satisfaction does rise with average incomes but only in the short term.Recent research has challenged the Easternlin paradox, however. In 2013, sociologists Ruut Veenhoven and Floris Vergunst conducted a study using statistics (统计数据) from the World Database of Happiness. Their analysis revealed a positive correlation between economic growth and happiness. Another study by the University of Michigan found that there is no maximum wealth threshold (门槛) at which more money stops contributing to your happiness: “If there is a satiation point, we are yet to reach it.” The study’s findings suggested that every extra dollar you earn makes you happier. With a much debate about the relationship between money and happiness, it’s clear that happiness itself is a complex concept and depends on many factors.According to psychologists (心理学家) Selin Kesebir and Shigehiro Oishi, happiness also depends on how your income compares to the people around you. They argue that a country’s economic growth only makes its citizens happier if wealth is evenly distributed (分配). In developing countries with high income inequality — where the rich get richer and the poor get poorer — average happiness tends to drop because only relatively few people benefit from the economic growth. This suggests that governments should consider conducting policies to ensure more equal distribution of wealth. The happier people are, the more productive they are likely to become, thus leading to improved economic outcomes at the individual and national levels.There is continuing debate about the link between wealth and happiness, with arguments both for and against the belief that richer countries are happier. However, it is clear that wealth alone isn’t enough to make us happy. The effect of income inequality on happiness shows that happiness is a social responsibility. We need to remember the positive effects of generosity, selflessness, and building social connections. Perhaps our focus should be less on how much money we have, and more on how we use it.12．According to the passage, Easterlin Paradox refers to ______.A．the fact that the more money, the happier people will feelB．the suggestion that money should be given the top priority(优先)C．the question how economic outcomes are distributed nationwideD．the opinion that higher income doesn’t necessarily generate happiness13．The word “satiation” in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to “________”.A．satisfaction B．anxiety C．survival D．confidence 14．What is the major reason for people’s unhappiness related to money?A．Money not enough.B．Money not fairly distributed.C．Rich people richer D．Unequal money paid for equal work. 15．Which of the following might be best title of this passage?A．It’s all relative B．Easternlin paradoxC．The economics of happiness D．Rising income, rising happinessHow to Choose Extracurricular ActivitiesFrom sports to clubs to outside organizations, there are many activities to take part in outside the classroom. 16 Fortunately, it becomes quite easy once you figure out what you enjoy doing in general. With a little more careful thought, you can also choose an activity that interests you.Think about your interests and know your advantages. Before you start considering specific(具体的)activities, take a step back. Think about what excites you and find your passions(热情). 17 Now that you have a better idea of what you like to do in general, decide on those that you are good at. Ask yourself what skills they show. Then find activities that require the same ones. Make sure that you will enjoy yourself by choosing an activity that lets you shine.18 In addition to your interests and advantages, know what you would like to improve about yourself. Use activities as a way to make yourself better. Find out new challenges, without the added stress of having to earn good grades at them. You can use activities to develop general skills that you may not have.Find out what activities are available(可用的)and look into each one. 19 If the website seems incomplete, talk with your teacher or parents. Also look for calendar details, such as start-and-end dates, plus event schedules, to make sure it won’t get in the way of anything else going on in your life. Once you have a list of activities that match your interests, do a little research. 20A．Think about skills you want to develop.B．This can make choosing one a little difficult.C．Use your freshman year to explore your choices.D．In this way, you will have a better idea of what to expect.E．Also make sure that their culture is a good match for your own personality.F．Use those to decide on activities that will keep you interested for a long time.G．Search your school’s website for a complete list of all the activities it provides.二、完形填空Some of us regret that we no longer have parents to serve after their passing away. Then21 not pay more attention to them when they were alive and with us?A few days ago, when I went to a park for my evening walk, I came across an old couple sitting on a bench and talking to each other.

They practice putting on ice suits, working with ropes, and using hand signals to communicate. And once the lake freezes, then practice ice rescue.On a training day, a firefighter puts on his ice suit. He then pushes air out of the ice suit. If not, the trapped air bubble could make him float. He walks out onto frozen lake to play the role of the “victim (受害者)”. He shakes, not from cold, but worries about not knowing when he’ll fall through! His first several steps feel solid. The ice seems thick. But 28 steps in: Crack! Water begins to come in through the ice. He slows down. At 31 steps-Plunk! He falls through the ice. He keeps him mouth shut so he doesn’t swallow any water. It’s time for him to pretend to be a victim, calling for help and struggling in the lake.Two more firefighters, attached to the onshore team with ropes, walk onto the lake. They stay on different parts of the ice in case it breaks, both carrying protective equipment like a belt or a board. Meanwhile, onshore team members, wearing life vests, talk to the “victim” to keep him calm. Near the ice hole, a rescuer drops to her belly and moves slowly. The second rescuer rolls. Both methods spread out the weight so they don’t also fall through the ice.The firefighter with the board explains that they’re there to help. She hands the board to the victim and tells him to catch it. The second firefighter enters the water and ties the belt securely to the victim. He gives a signal and the onshore members pulls the rope. As the rope tightens, the rescuer lifts the victim’s legs so he’s on his belly. Together, they sail across the ice.Once they’re on land, firefighters exchange roles. When every firefighter has had a turn at rescuing and playing “victim”, they all put on warm, dry clothes and head back to the station for hot chocolate.4．Why does the “victim” push air out of his ice suit before entering water?A．To walk in the water.B．To sink beneath the ice.C．To float on the surface.D．To approach firefighters.5．What shouldn’t the rescue members do during the practice?A．Stay apart’on the ice surface.B．Walk as fast as possible on ice.C．Be careful in their each step.D．Carry protective equipment.6．What can we learn from the text?A．Ice rescue only requires excellent individual skills.B．The rescue group perform such rescue practice daily.C．The firefighters take turns to play the part of “victim”.D．It is unnecessary to talk to the “victim” during the rescue.7．What is the best title for the passage?A．Rescue on the iceB．Practice on ice landC．Ways of saving peopleD．Bravery of firefightersSome children are natural-born bosses. They have a strong need to make decisions, manage their environment, and lead rather than follow. Stephen Jackson, a Year One student, “operates under the theory of what’s mine is mine and what’s yours is mine,” says his mother. “The other day I bought two new Star Wars light sabers (剑). Later, I saw Stephen with the two new ones while his brother was using the beat-up ones.”“Examine the extended family, and you’ll probably find a bossy grandparent, aunt, uncle or cousin in every generation. It’s an inheritable trait,” says Russell Barkley, a professor at the Medical University of South Carolina. Other children who may not be particularly bossy can gradually gain dominance (支配地位) when they sense their parents are weak, hesitant, or in disagreement with each other.Whether it’s inborn nature or developed character at work, too much control in the hands of the young isn’t healthy for children or the family. Fear is at the root of a lot of bossy behavior, says family psychologist John Taylor. Children, he says in his book From Defiance to Cooperation, “have secret feelings of weakness” and “a desire to feel safe.” It’s the parents’ role to provide thatprotection.When a “boss child” doesn’t learn limits at home, the stage is set for a host of troubles outside the family. The overly willful and unbending child may have trouble obeying teachers or coaches, for example, or trouble keeping friends. It can be pretty lonely as the top dog if no one likes your bossy ways.“I see more and more parents giving up their power,” says Barkley, who has studied bossy behavior for more than 30 years. “They bend too far because they don’t want to be as strict as their own parents were. But they also feel less confident about their parenting skills. Their kids, in turn, feel more anxious.”8．Bossy children like Stephen Jackson ______.A．make good decisions B．show self-centerednessC．lack care from others D．have little sense of fear9．The underlined phrase “inheritable trait” in paragraph 2 means ______.A．inborn nature B．developed character C．accepted theory D．particularenvironment10．The study on bossy behavior implies that parents ______.A．should give more power to their children B．should be strict with their childrenC．should not be so anxious about their children D．should not set limits for their children 11．Bossy children may probably become ______.A．relaxed B．skillful C．hesitant D．lonelySports can help you keep fit and get in touch with nature. However, whether you are on the mountains, in the waves, or on the grassland, you should be aware that your sport of choice might have great influence on the environment.Some sports are resource-hungry. Golf, as you may know, eats up not only large areas of countryside, but also tons of water. Besides, all sorts of chemicals and huge amounts of energy are used to keep its courses （球场）in good condition. This causes major environmental effects. For example, in the dry regions of Portugal and Spain, golf is often held responsible for serious water shortage in some local areas.There are many environment-friendly sports. Power walking is one of them that you couldtake up today. You don’t need any special equipment except a good pair of shoes; and you don’t have to worry about resources and your purse. Simple and free, power walking can also keep you fit. If you walk regularly, it will be good for your heart and bones. Experts say that 20 minutes of power walking daily can make you feel less anxious, sleep well and have better weight control.Whatever sport you take up, you can make it greener by using environment-friendly equipment and buying products made from recycled materials. But the final goal should be “green gyms”. They are better replacements for traditional health clubs and modern sports centers. Members of green gyms play sports outdoors, in the countryside or other open spaces. There is no special requirement for you to start your membership. And best of all, it’s free.12．Which of the following is the author most probably in favor of?A．Cycling around a lake.B．Motor racing in the desert.C．Playing basketball in a gym.D．Swimming in a sports center.13．What do we know about golf from the passage?A．It is popular in Portugal and Spain.B．It causes water shortages around the world.C．It pollutes the earth with chemicals and wastes.D．It needs water and electricity to keep its courses green.14．The author uses power walking as an example mainly because _________.A．it is an outdoor sportB．it improves our healthC．it uses fewer resourcesD．it is recommended by experts15．The author writes the passage to _________.A．show us the function of major sportsB．encourage us to go in for green sportsC．discuss the major influence of popular sportsD．introduce different types of environment-friendly sportsThe Most Important Day of Your LifeWhat’s the most important day of your life? The answer to that question is simple — Today.16 You can’t do anything about things that have already happened, and trying to live in the future will take your focus away from the present. So the helpful strategy for anyone is to make the most of the moment that is right in front of us.Doing our best today may make things easier for us later on, or at least help us to deal with whatever situation we are in. 17 We will still be dealing with the same challenges tomorrow.Each morning I ask myself what I can do to make today memorable. 18 In Hebrew school we were asked what we had done to help other people the previous week. Did we help an older person cross the street? Did we encourage someone who had a promising idea? 19 All of these things represent a worthy deed because they involve doing something to help someone else.Even if today is not that meaningful for you, something you do for someone else may be very meaningful for them. You never know how much a good deed for someone else will impact that person. The greatest meaning that today brings may not be for you, it may be for someone else.20 You can deal with tomorrow next week, or next year when it gets here. A．The answer involves doing something kind for someone else.B．Did we hold the door for someone whose hands were full?C．Is today still the most important day?D．The past cannot be changed, and the future has not happened yet.E．Ignoring today and hoping it will go away certainly won’t work.F．If you wash it away, someone else may not get the benefits.G．So make the most of today.二、完形填空I’ve had cerebral palsy (CP) (大脑性瘫痪) since I was born.

It takes the earth a year to go all way round the sun. Today men even know how far it is for the earth to go round the sun. They tell us that the earth travels over a thousand miles a minute on its journey round the sun.The sun is really a star. It is much bigger than the earth and it is very hot. Some people have been to the moon but we know that no one can ever go to the sun. It is far too hot for people to live anywhere near it.

The flight was overbooked, and Delta, the airline, offered us $400 per person in credits to give up our seats and leave the next day. I had meetings in New York，So I had to get back. But that didn't mean my husband and my son couldn't stay. I took my nine-month-old and took off for home.The next day, my husband and son were offered more credits to take an even later flight. Yes, I encouraged—okay, ordered—them to wait it out at the airport, to "earn" more Delta Dollars. Our total take: $1,600. Not bad, huh?Now some people may think I'm a bad mother and not such a great wife either. But as a big-time bargain hunter, I know the value of a dollar.

I have writtena couple of books including one titled Tricks of the Trade: A Consumer Survival Guide.

I’m also tightfisted when it comes to shoes, clothes for my children, and expensive restaurants. But I wouldn't hesitate to spend on a good haircut.

After we had finished the job he thanked us again and again, pulled out $20 and tried to give it to us. “No,” my brother said. “We were never 11 to even get on that bridge. We took a 12 turn.

Let’s get started by checking out Student Guide for your academic journey!Signing up for ESL (English as a Second Language)ESL courses are designed to help international students improve academic English language skills. Enrollment (课程注册) priority is given to degree students. If space is available, you may enroll. You will then be asked to take an ESL Placement Test. The test results will help you choose the class that is appropriate for vou.Changing Your Course Enrollment ListYou may change your class schedule during the first two weeks of the term by adding or dropping courses from your enrollment list. After the second week of classes, there will be a charge for each schedule change. Students often attend classes in which they are not enrolled on the first day of instruction to try adding this new course to the list, as other students may have dropped it.Withdrawing from CoursesIf you choose to drop a course, you must follow the UCLA procedures for removing it from your schedule. If you forget to officially drop that course, a “F” (Fail) grade will be registered on your record at the end of the term. If, at a later date, you wish to apply for a job or graduate school where an official copy of your UCLA record is required, it will be to your advantage to provide an impressive academic record.Taking ExamsSome instructors choose to put previous test papers on library reserve, making themavailable to all students. These exams, which students commonly use for practice, can give you an idea of how instructors ask questions and what they regard as relevant material. You can also access the exams online.16．An ESL Placement Test is aimed to ________.A．improve the students’ language skillsB．encourage the students to answer questionsC．put the students in a class that fits themD．help the students apply for a degree17．What is the deadline for a free enrollment list change?A．The day when the class is full.B．The first day of instruction.C．The first week of the class.D．The end of the second week.18．What should exchange students do if they choose to stop taking a course?A．Seek assistance from UCLA officials.B．Go through the procedures to drop it.C．Present past academic records to UCLA．D．Make a request to the Registration Office.19．Working on previous tests helps students ________.A．imitate the way that their instructors write test questionsB．learn how questions are asked and what they are based onC．come up with new ideas about how testing relates to teaching X.D．narrow down to what has not yet been covered in online testsMy grandma passed away last week. My mum began the painful yet necessary task of sorting through her belongings.“Is there anything you want from grandma’s flat?” Mum texted me.“Her aloe (芦荟), please.” I required zero thinking time.Sometime around 1975, Grandma, always believing good things would happen in the future, received this plant as a gift, which she appreciated and placed in her doorway. It came from thelocal butcher. Five years later, my mum married the butcher’s son and had me. Grandma revealed to me this particular plant was a living relationship between the two families. And so was I.Recently, whenever we visited Grandma’s flat, I attempted to fix this concept in my children’s minds. “That was a gift your great-grandma bought your other great-grandma! It’s older than me!” Then my kids would nod and ask Grandma for a sweet.Numerous times, Grandma gave me cuttings or clippings of the plant, hoping I might raise my own and continue the legend. Yet, every time, my new branch died with my awful gardening skills. But that didn’t used to matter, because I could turn to Grandma, who would wait and accept my disturbance without becoming upset. Then I got another clipping and tried again. But now I can’t. So, I decided that the plant will go and live with Ann, my mother-in-law, who is a genius with a greenhouse.The plan is for Ann to keep hold of the original plant. In time, she can teach me how to deal with its cuttings properly, and then maybe one day I can settle the plant in my place.In the meantime, Ann will allocate (分配) clippings among my relatives, as Grandma used to do. My wife’s two sisters, for example, are both better at tending plants than I am, so it is quite imaginable that they, too, will offer cuttings of the plant to their partners, spreading this loving plant across my entire extended family.20．Why did the author want his grandma’s aloe?A．He wanted to pass it down to others.B．He showed a preference for gardening.C．He had a pleasant memory of the plant.D．He received it as a gift from his grandma. 21．Which of the following best describes the author’s grandma?A．Optimistic and patient.B．Generous and helpful.C．Honest and fashionable.D．Humorous and skillful.22．The author took the aloe to his mother-in-law toA．display his skills in gardening B．have the plant better cared forC．announce his grandma’s death D．protect the plant from dying out23．What may be the best title for the text?A．Aloe: my family bond B．Aloe: a mysterious plantC．Grandma: my life coach D．Grandma: a lovely gardenerLanguages have been coming and going for thousands of years, but in recent times there has been less coming and a lot more going. When the world was still populated by hunter-gatherers, small, tightly knit(联系) groups developed their own patterns of speech independent of each other. Some language experts believe that 10,000 years ago, when the world had just five to ten million people, they spoke perhaps 12,000 languages between them.Soon afterwards, many of those people started settling down to become farmers, and their languages too became more settled and fewer in number. In recent centuries, trade, industrialization, the development of the nation-state and the spread of universal compulsory education, especially globalisation and better communications in the past few decades, all have caused many languages to disappear, and dominant languages such as English, Spanish and Chinese are increasingly taking over.At present, the world has about 6,800 languages. The distribution of these languages is hugely uneven. The general rule is that mild zones have relatively few languages. Often spoken by many people while hot, wet zones have lots, often spoken by small numbers. Europe has only around 200 Languages: the Americas about 1,000, Africa 2,400; and Asia and the Pacific perhaps 3,200, of which Papua New Guinea alone accounts for well over 800. The median number(中位数) of speakers is a mere 6，000, which means that half the worlds languages are spoken by fewer people than that.Already well over 400 of the total of 6,800 languages are close to extinction(消亡), with only a few elderly speakers left. Pick, at random, Busuu in Cameroon (eight remaining speakers), Chiapaneco in Mexico(150). Lipan Apache in the United States(two or three) or Wadjigu in Australia (one, with a question-mark): none of these seems to have much chance of survival. 24．What can we infer about languages in hunter-gatherer times?A．They developed very fast.B．They were large in number.C．They had similar patters.D．They were closely connected25．Which of the following best explains "dominant" underlined in paragraph 2？A．Complex.B．Advanced.C．Powerful.D．Modern.26．How many languages are spoken by less than 6, 000 people at present?A．About 6,800 .B．About 3,400C．About 2,400D．About 1,200.27．What is the main idea of the text?A．New languages will be created.B．Peoples lifestyles are reflected in languages.C．Human development results in fewer languages.D．Geography determines language evolution.The kids are hanging out. I pass small bands of students, on my way to work these mornings. They have become a familiar part of the summer landscape.These kids are not old enough for jobs. Nor are they rich enough for camp. They are school children without school. The calendar called the school year ran out on them a few weeks ago. Once monitored by teachers and principals, they now appear to be “self care”.Passing them is like passing through a time zone. For much of our history, after all, Americans arranged the school year around the needs of work and family. In 19th-century cities, schools were open seven or eight hours a day, 11 months a year. In rural America, the year was arranged around the growing season. Now, only 3 percent of families follow the agricultural model, but nearly all schools are scheduled as if our children went home early to milk the cows and took months off to work the crops. Now, three-quarters of the mothers of school-age children work, but the calendar is written as if they were home waiting for the school bus.The six-hour day, the 180-day school year is regarded as something holy. But when parents work an eight-bour day and a 240-day year, it means something different. It means that many kids go home to empty houses. It means that, in the summer, they hang out.“We have a huge mismatch between the school calendar and realities of family life,” says Dr. Ernest Boyer, head of the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching.Dr. Boyer is one of many who believe that a radical revision of the school calendar is inevitable. “School, whether we like it or not, is educational. It always has been.”His is not a popular idea. Schools are routinely burdened with the job of solving all our social problems. Can they be asked to meet the needs of our work and family lives?It may be easier to promote a longer school year on its educational merits and, indeed, the educational case is convincing. Despite the complaints and studies about our kids lack of learning,the United State still has a shorter school year than any industrial nation. In most of Europe, the school year is 220 days. in Japan, it is 240 days long. While classroom time alone doesn’t produce a well-educated child, learning takes time and more learning takes more time. The long summers of forgetting take a toll.The opposition to a longer school year comes from families that want to and can provide other experiences for their children. It comes from teachers. It comes from tradition. And surely from kids. But the most important part of the conflict has been over the money.28．The current American school calendar was developed in the 19th century according to ______.A．the growing season on nation’s farmB．the labor demands of the industrial ageC．teachers’ demands for more vacation timeD．parents’ demands for other experiences for their kids29．Why is Dr. Boyer’s idea unpopular?A．He thinks that school year and family life should be considered separatelyB．He argues for the role of school in solving social problems.C．He strongly believes in the educational role of school.D．He supports the current school calendar.30．“The long summers of forgetting take a toll” in the last paragraph but one means that ______.A．long summer vacation changes the way of learningB．long summer vacation has been abandoned in EuropeC．long summers result in less learning timeD．long summers are a result of tradition31．The author thinks that the current school calendar ______.A．is still appropriate B．is out of dateC．is inevitable D．cannot be revised三、单词拼写32．At first I disagreed, but on (反思),I realized she was right.(根据汉语提示单词拼写) 33．Children have a natural c (好奇心) about the world around them. . （根据首字母和汉语提示写出单词）34．His best movie, which won several a (奖), was about the life of Gandhi.

This is a competitive program that accepts a limited (有限的) number of teens each term.What to expectZoo teens are asked to host the Earth Day Celebration at Heritage Park, help with major events at the zoo, help as junior teachers during camping at the zoo, and help to educate the visiting public about the animals that live at the zoo.TrainingThe Zoo Teen Program starts each term with a training course. Teen volunteers receive training about the animals at the zoo, information about biology, and guidance on how to operate information stations. Along with learning about wildlife protection, teens can build confidence and master useful skills through the Zoo Teen Program.ApplicationInterested teens should submit (提交) a Zoo Teen Application online between November 28th and December 28th to be considered for the Spring Term of the next year. One application and two letters of recommendation are required. Once applications are submitted, teens will be invited to an interview on either Saturday or Sunday in early January.1．What is probably necessary for Zoo teens?A．Working abilities in biology.B．Good communication skills.C．Experience of feeding animals.D．Rich knowledge about camping.2．What can volunteers do during the training?A．Get Free tickets to the zoo.B．Camp together in the wild.C．Travel around the country.D．Learn some practical skills.3．What is the text type?A．Guide.B．Report.C．Advertisement.D．Novel.Dev Shah, a 14-year-old from Florida, won the 2023 National Spelling Bee on Thursday night, correctly spelling the word “psammophile” to take home the $50,000 first prize. He also won$2,000 in book money to be donated to the school of his choice, a $2,500 cash and reference book award from Merriam-Webster. “I didn’t know if it was happening — if it was real or not.” Shah said.Dev competed against 14-year-old Charlotte Walsh from Virginia, as the final two standing. She earned $25,000 for reaching second place. In Thursday’s finals (决赛) in National Harbor, Maryland, Dev correctly spelled all the words correctly. Now that it’s over, he can admit the competition was a challenge, or to use some words from his dictionary he definitely knows how to spell: laborious. “When you are on stage, the nerves do get to you,” he told CNN. “Even if spellers don’t show it ... the pressure does get to us.”Eleven students made the finals after 11 million people entered spelling competitions throughout the world. The 231 elementary and middle school students in the National Spelling Bee this year were as young as 9 and as old as 14. There were winners from every US state. More than 180 were National Spelling Bee first-timers, and 49 were returning competitors. Dev previously had tied for 51st place in 2019 and finished tied for 76th in 2021.He told CNN he was devoted to studying the roots of words so that he would be better prepared for this year’s contest. “If I got a word I didn’t know, I then could figure it out,” he said. “It’s surreal. … My legs are still shaking,” he said at the end of the competition.4．What does the word “laborious” in Paragraph 2 mean?A．Difficult.B．Exciting.C．Responsible.D．Amazing.5．How many students had competed in the National Spelling Bee before?A．2B．11C．49D．2316．How does Dev Shah feel during the competition?A．Equal.B．Unreal.C．Confident.D．Nervous. 7．What can we learn about Dev Shah’s experience?A．He was able to win without any difficulty.B．He focused on learning the roots of words.C．He entered the competition for the first time.D．He practiced spelling words in front of a mirror.Located in a field full of farm animals near a hillside in Sussex, a “sleep dome (穹顶)” is offering the chance to sleep through counting real sheep.The “Shleep Sanctuary”, created by sleep technology company Emma Sleep, will host two guests and have a great double bed with beautiful views from all angles. After dinner and settling in for the night, guests will be encouraged to count the numbered sheep as they walk in the small field and slowly fall asleep under the stars. They will have a yoga class and a breakfast of local food during daylight hours. Anyone will have the chance to try it when it opens in 2023.“The power of a good night’s sleep can’t be ignored (忽视). It’s clear that the nation needs it now more than ever,” said Dr. Dennis Schmoltzi, CEO at Emma. Sleep. “Counting sheep is more than an old story. It’s a tested method that Brits are relying on to help them fall asleep. They’re eager for a peaceful environment when they’re trying to relax, which is important for sleep quality.”The company did a survey of 2,000 adults and found 44% of the adults had difficulty sleeping. To improve the situation, some adults have used special ways, like counting sheep to get a good night’s sleep. The study, carried out by OnePoll, shows that some factors (因素) improve adults’ sleep well, including fresh air and the sound of nature.Theresa Schnorbach, a sleep scientist at Emma Sleep, said, “People can use a pleasant and relaxing method to help them sleep, like counting sheep as they jump over a fence. The aim is to control worrying thoughts. I think this not only reduces the time it takes to fall asleep but also improves sleep quality.”8．What can we know about the “Shleep Sanctuary” in Paragraph 2?A．It’s a popular British hotel.B．It’s a center for morning yoga lessons.C．It offers a chance to count real sheep.D．It provides many treatments for sleep problems.9．What does the author imply about counting sheep in Paragraph 3?A．It’s peaceful.B．It’s boring.C．It’s relaxing.D．It’s useful.10．What is one of the ways to improve the sleep according to the study?A．Yoga class.B．Local food.C．Outdoor activities.D．Favorite music. 11．What is Theresa Schnorbach’s attitude towards counting sheep?A．Supportive.B．Worrying.C．Unclear.D．Doubtful.Researchers have developed a new soft robot with three behaviours at the same time: rolling (翻滚) forward, turning like a record and following a path that goes around a central point. The equipment, which operates without human or computer control, is useful for developing soft robots that can be used to map unknown environments. The new soft robots are made of something like a ribbon (缎带) and then joined together at the end to form a ring.When the robots are placed on a surface that is at least 55 degrees Celsius, which is hotter than the surrounding air, one part of the ribbon touching the surface becomes smaller, while one part in the air does not. This results in a rolling movement: the warmer the surface, the faster the robot rolls. “The ribbon rolls on its horizontal axis (横轴), giving the ring forward strength.” says Jie Yin, a professor of mechanical engineering.The robot also turns along its central axis. And as it moves forward it travels in a path around a central point, basically moving in a large circle. However, if the robot meets a boundary (障碍), like the wall of a box, it will travel along the boundary.The twisted ring robots are examples of equipment whose behaviour is controlled by physical intelligence, meaning their actions are determined by their structural design and the materials they are made of, rather than being directed by a computer or human.“Soft robotics is still a relatively new field.” Yin says. “Finding new ways to control the movement of soft robots in a repeatable and engineered way moves the field forward. And advancing our understanding of what is possible is exciting.”12．What makes the robot roll faster?A．The ribbon.B．The central axis.C．The shape and material.D．The surface temperature.13．How does the author introduce the new soft robots?A．By explaining the working ways.B．By listing experts’ opinions.C．By making some comparisons.D．By offering reasons and results.14．Why can the robot keep travelling when meeting a boundary?A．It is controlled by computer.B．It has special equipment.C．It has its own intelligence.D．It is designed by human.15．What is the best title for the text?A．Ribbons and Their Rolling B．The New Soft RobotsC．Three Creative Movements D．Twisted Rings and the AxisDo you want to start a club at your high school? If your school doesn’t offer a particular club that you’re interested in, starting your own is a great way! You will meet new people there.16Before you start your own club, make sure that you understand how high school clubs are run.Clubs are a great way for students to participate in activities they enjoy, learn new skills, and meet new people. High school clubs can cover many topics. 17Once you have your idea, make sure your school doesn't already have a similar club. 18 Once you know what you want, it's time to get started. Figure out what the purpose of the club is, what activities you want members to take part in, and what goals you have for the club. By figuring this out, you will be able to write a proposal. 19 This may be as simple as filling out a form, or it may require discussing the club with teachers or school staff.20 Try to create a poster a week or two before the first meeting. Try to make it eye-catching and interesting to look at. For a ski club, include a color photo of a person skiing down a mountain and a heading like “Love to ski? Join Jefferson High School’s new ski club!”. It will catch students’ interest and attract them to attend the first meeting.A．After that, spread the news.B．You can do this by asking your teachers.C．Club meetings are usually held after school.D．Don’t try to do too much at your first meeting.E．You will also spend time doing something you enjoy.F．Most high schools require clubs to go through a process to get approved.G．They can be from math to skiing to protecting the environment and more.二、完形填空What’s your “cheer up” song?

Firstly, music makes you exercise longer. Secondly, you may feel 28 when listening to music, so your heartbeat (心跳) and blood pressure return to the normal level.

江苏省南京师范大学附属中学2024-2025学年高一上学期10月月考英语试卷
江苏省南京师范大学附属中学2024-2025学年高一上学期10月月考英语试卷一、阅读理解We all remember that first cry at the movies. Whether they are tears of joy or sadness, it’s quite astonishing that human emotion can be controlled by moving images on a screen. In fact, it all comes from a plan. But what about those heart-breaking stories… for kids? They seem not to sugarcoat the realities of the world.Actually, many great kids’ movies loaded with tragedy (悲剧) are purposefully meant to stir up kids’ strong feelings. According to Aristotle, tragedy aids us in facing life’s unsolvable issues through sensible thought. Therefore, the existence of tragedy in kids’ movies is to teach kids to handle, to understand and to heal (治愈). The hardest lesson for a child is how to deal with loss, especially if it’s sudden. The cartoon classic The Lion King tells the story of Simba, who experiences the loss of his father. Kids see themselves in Simba’s character. He has dreams. He has a desire to grow and be a part of a bigger world. But it is really heartbreaking to see the loss.Why is a film like this so beloved when it makes kids cry? The lesson it teaches is to overcome hardships and to move forward. Hakuna Matata! Yes, the phrase from The Lion King is to teach kids it’s okay to move on from tragic loss and not to let it define you. It’s an important lesson we learned at a very young age. Sadness should not be ignored. It’s important to feel sad, and that is why these films are so great. In Dumbo, Charlotte’s Web and Bridge to Terabithia, we lose our beloved characters. This quite upsets kids, but it teaches them to accept sadness and makes something new out of it.So, what is the message behind a sad kids’ movie? It’s meant to teach the audience, especially children, to gain their independence and how to free themselves from tragedy. It’s like a cushion (缓冲垫) that separates stories from reality. It helps children deal with sad feelings when they come for real, or at least find relief by saying Hakuna Matata.1．Why does the author mention “first cry” in paragraph 1?A．To promote a movie.B．To explain the reason.C．To support an argument.D．To introduce the topic.2．What does the underlined phrase “Hakun a Matata” in paragraph 3 mean?A．Defining sadness as a treatment.B．Challenging oneself with tragic losses.C．Seeking knowledge to enrich life.D．Heading forward without being trapped.3．What can we learn from the last paragraph?A．Sad kids’ movies help children to escape from reality.B．Sad kids’ movies prepare children for life struggles.C．Children can learn to ignore sadness in tragedy.D．Children can find a way to hide sad feelings.4．What is the best title for the text?A．Why Are Great Kids’ Movies So Sad?B．What Is the Power of Great Kids’ Movies?C．Life’s Hardest Lesson: How Movies Inspire Us?D．Moving Beyond Reality: What Kids’ Movies Teach Us?Is future you? It might seem like a strange philosophical question. But the answer to how you think about your future self could make the difference between decisions you ultimately find satisfying and ones you might eventually regret.The brain patterns that emerge on an MRI (核磁共振成像) when people think about their future selves most like the brain patterns that arise when they think about strangers. This finding suggests that, in the mind’s eye, our future selves look like other people. If you see future you as a different person, why should you save money, eat healthier or exercise more regularly to benefit that stranger?However, if you see the interests of your distant self as more like those of your present self, you are considerably more likely to do things today that benefit you tomorrow. A paper in the journal PLoS One revealed that college students who experienced a greater sense of connection and similarity to their future selves were more likely to achieve academic success. Relationships with our future selves also matter for general psychological well-being. In a project led by Joseph Reiff, which includes 5, 000 adults aged 20 to 75, he found that those who perceived a greatoverlap (重叠) in qualities between their current and future selves ended up being more satisfied with their lives 10 years after filling out the initial survey.So how can we better befriend our future selves and feel more connected to their fates? The psychological mindset with what we call ”vividness interventions“ works. We have found, for instance, that showing people images of their older, grayer selves increases intentions to save for the long term. Besides, you might try writing a letter to-and then from-your future self. As demonstrated by Yuta Chishima and Anne Wilson in their 2020 study in the journal Self and Identity, when high-school students engaged in this type of ”send-and-reply“ exercise, they experienced elevated (升高的) levels of feelings of similarity with their future selves.Letter-writing and visualization exercises are just a couple of ways we can connect with our future selves and beyond, but the larger lesson here is clear: If we can treat our distant selves as if they are people we love, care about and want to support, we can start making choices for them that improve our lives-both today and tomorrow.5．What’s the function of paragraph 2?A．Generating further discussion.B．Introducing a research result.C．Showing the effect of the finding.D．Concluding various viewpoints.6．How does the author prove his statements?A．By offering relevant statistics.B．By using quotations.C．By referring to previous findings.D．By making comparisons.7．What is paragraph 4 mainly about?A．Benefits of befriending our future selves.B．Ways of connecting with our future selves.C．Methods of changing psychological mindsets.D．Possibilities of us becoming our future selves.8．What does the article want to tell us?A．Making future plans makes a difference.B．Our future selves look like other people.C．Getting to know your future self benefits.D．Your choice affects the fates of strangers.Robotic comedyIt seems you can ask artificial intelligence (AI) programs anything, and they’ll give you an answer back. So, can they tell jokes? This question was raised when UK comedian Karen Hobbs performed in late June. Instead of the usual jokes she created, Hobbs told jokes written by ChatGPT. 9 .Hobbs said that when she asked ChatGPT for a joke, what it provided was a man joking about being impatient with his shopping-obsessed (痴迷于购物的) girlfriend. 10 , the joke was still about a shopping-obsessed girlfriend, just told from the first-person perspective (角度).11 , as males dominate the field of comedy. The BBC commented that AI storytelling can only reproduce information that already exists in some form, although it can produce some never-before-seen combinations (结合) of ideas. “One way that AI can tell jokes is to do what any 5-year-old does — repeat a successful joke they’ve heard or try to make an obvious variation (变化) of it,” said Les Carr, a professor of web science.Nonetheless, a good joke in real life can always adjust to the audience’s feedback, which often leads comedians to improvise (即兴创作). 12 . For instance, in improv, there is no space for premeditation (预先策划); the comedian must rely only on their instinctive (直觉的) reaction to the audience.“A well-done stand-up bit can lead the audience through a funny story all the way to a hilarious punchline (令人捧腹的妙语),” Michael Ryan, a student researching AI’s impact on comedy, explained to the BBC．“The whole time the comedian knew exactly where he or she was going with the joke and brought the audience there.”13 . Research is already ongoing with the goal of giving AI a greater understanding of the world around it, which makes the future of AI jokes still uncertain.A．The process made her nervousB．However, this could all changeC．It’s certain that AI can become genuinely funnyD．Even when she asked to switch to the woman’s perspectiveE．This, unfortunately, is beyond the current capabilities of AIF．She could thus finish the job more efficiently and creativelyG．It’s no surprise that many jokes come from a male perspective in online materials二、完形填空A young man Jermaine Scott set up in business as a barber in Madison, Tennessee, about a year ago. He gradually found the kids were addicted(上瘾)to tablets and 14 products when they came to the barbershop. It was extremely 15 to cut their hair when they were focused on those, and kids would feel cross and lack passion(激情)for life if they play cell phones for a long time. That led to the 16 of Scott’s “Barbershop Books Day”, when kids could come and get a 17 haircut. What was required? They are only required to 18 a book while they got it.He created “Barbershop Books Day” to help not only the kids, but also the worried parents. Madison has many 19 families and many are entirely focused on just keeping their lights on. Many parents are busy with their work and barely have time to keep their children 20 .

浙江省宁波市余姚中学2024-2025学年高一上学期10月月考英语试题一、阅读理解Though many people think of summer as a time to slow down and enjoy a vacation, it can also be the perfect time to make money or get experience. Here are some good summer jobs for you.Survey-takingSurvey-taking is a way to make money during your summer holiday, especially if you live in an area that doesn’t have many chances. With a computer or smartphone, you can sit on your sofa and search for survey sites such as Surveys On The Go, InboxDollars or Swagbucks. Without much effort, you can start making money for your opinions. However, the ease of use comes with a low earning potential.Food Delivery(递送)If you enjoy driving, you can use your car to deliver food. You can sign up to deliver food from restaurants with services such as Uber Eats, DoorDash and Grubhub. Another choice is delivering daily used goods with services such as Postmates, Shipt and Instacart. The earning potential for delivery can be higher than for other jobs because customers often give tips. The disadvantage is that these jobs require you to put in more time.Photo ApplicationsIf you go to the mall, you can use an app such as Field Agent or Gigwalk to make money by taking pictures of products in stores. See any help-wanted signs in the store windows? Take a picture and get paid for each one you find.House Sitting and Pet CareSummer is a time when people take vacations and may need someone to look after their homes or pets. Services such as HouseSitter and MindMyHouse connect homeowners with proper house sitters(看房人). For animal lovers who would rather care for someone’s pet while they are away, you can turn to services like Rover.1．What do we know about making money through Survey-Taking?A．It’s interesting.B．It requires little effort.C．It takes much time.D．It requires special knowledge.2．Why is the earning potential for Food Delivery higher than for other jobs?A．You can get some extra reward.B．You work longer hours.C．You need to drive your own car.D．You deliver food for many people.3．Which app should you use if you enjoy looking after animals?A．Swagbucks.B．Uber Eats.C．HouseSitter.D．Rover.In December 2004, I had just become a professional photographer and was working on a project about communities who live on the sea, known as sea nomads (海上游牧民族). I was living with members of the Chao-Ley tribe (部落) on a small island in southern Thailand. We didn’t share a language and relied on body language to communicate.I went out to sea with them regularly. One morning, I was due to set out with a group of six Chao-Ley fishermen in a small boat. The sea looked different, with the water totally still.About 20 minutes after we left and a few miles out in the open sea, one of the fishermen pointed to a small white spot far in the distance. It was getting bigger and bigger very quickly. This was a tsunami (海啸) wave speeding through the ocean.Usually, the deeper the water, the weaker the wave. But we weren’t out far enough to be safe, nor close enough to shore to make it back in time. We were stuck. I began to feel really scared.The captain told the six of us where to sit, so we would balance out the boat. My camera was in my backpack. I wanted to capture the scene, but I couldn’t. Any movement would imbalance the boat. Suddenly there was a huge noise. The wave hit the boat, but in a flash the skilled captain managed to swerve (使突然转向) us up and onto the wave. Then the boat moved from the tip of the wave down into safe waters. Our eyes and mouths were wide open, and everyone let out heavy sighs. The captain had saved us all.Surviving gave me a deep understanding of how important life can be. I’ve been going back to Southeast Asia almost every year since. The photography project has become a thank-you to thepeople who saved my life. The picture I wanted to take on the boat remains “the one that got away” – I think every photographer has one. But mine changed my life.4．What happened before the author set out with the fishermen?A．The captain wanted to cancel the trip.B．He noticed something unusual.C．They saw a white spot in the distance.D．It looked like it was about to rain.5．When did the author start to feel frightened?A．When fishermen on the boat felt nervous.B．When he realized they were trapped.C．When the boat was about to be hit.D．When the boat shook violently.6．What was the author doing when the tsunami wave hit the boat?A．Helping the captain swerve.B．Taking a photo of the wave.C．Trying not to move.D．Reaching for his backpack.7．What did the author learn from his experience?A．We should have the courage to take risks.B．Opportunity never knocks twice.C．Life is too short to be wasted.D．Sometimes regrets in life can save us.We’re all familiar with the feeling — it usually starts with a little itch (痒) deep inside the nose. Next comes the awareness that it’s going to happen. Then, achoo! Air erupts out of our nose at an astonishing 100 miles per hour, bursting out whatever was causing the itch. The high-pressure from a sneeze (喷嚏) has led some people to think that if we didn’t close our eyes, they could pop out.For decades, countless people have tested the theory. Upon finding it almost impossible to keep their eyes open while sneezing, many have concluded that the theory must be true. If you tryit yourself, the chances are that your eyes are still where they belong. That’s because they are held firmly by the muscles in the eyes. Furthermore, increased pressure from sneezing actually builds up in the blood vessels (血管), which may cause vessels to break but is less likely to cause the eyeballs to pop out.Why did this theory start, anyway? Some say that it all began in 1882, when the New York Times reported an incident of a woman who burst one of her eyeballs during a sudden sneeze. Others point at the fact that different high-pressure experiences, such as childbirth, can cause blood vessels in the eyes to pop. Still others say that closing our eyes when we sneeze shows the theory is true. Scientists, on the other hand, explain that we close our eyes for the same reason we sneeze — to prevent unwanted things from entering our bodies.

This is what we learned in biology class. But what camebefore apes? Chinese scientists have discovered fossils (化石) that could enrich the evolutionary story of how humans evolved from fish.According to four articles published in the journal Nature in late September, Chinese researchers found fish fossils that provide the “missing link” about the origin of the jaw (颌：颚), a key feature that 99.8 percent of vertebrate (脊椎动物) species have.Zhu Min, a lead researcher of the studies from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, said that the findings drew a large amount of interest in the science world because of the importance of jaws in animal evolution.However, the rise of the jaw had been a secret for a lack of enough fossil evidence to support that jawed vertebrates lived 450 million years ago.The latest findings made by Zhu’s team presented a set of five surprisingly well-preserved fish fossils that included three whole-bodied fish, helping scientists paint a more correct evolutionary picture of the origin of the jaw. The fish fossils were discovered at two places in Chongqing and Guizhou, whose strata (岩层) date back to the Silurian Time that began around 440 million years ago.These fossils show that jawed fish were already rising in the world’s ancient oceans at that time. Later, more different and larger jawed fish evolved and began to spread around the world, paving the way for some fish to finally go on land and evolve into other animals-including humans.These fossils provide a good opportunity to understand the ‘dawn of fish’ and help scientists trace many human body structures back to these ancient fish thus filling some key gaps in the evolutionary history of how fish evolved into humans, “Zhu said.12．In which column of a magazine will you most probably read the passage?A．Entertainment.B．Animals.C．Science.D．History.13．Why did the findings draw a large amount of interest in the science world?A．Because there is a lack of fish fossils.B．Because jaws are a key feature of all species.C．Because the missing of the jaw had been a mystery.D．Because jaws are significant while animals evolve.14．What does the underlined phrase “at that time” refer to?A．Around 440 million years ago.B．Around 450 million years ago.C．When fish evolved into humans.D．When jawed fish began to spread around the world.15．Which of the following is the best title for the text?A．Who Are Our Ancestors?B．What Came Before Apes?C．The Origin of the Jaw D．Key Steps in EvolutionHow to Develop Courage by Overcoming Daily FearsSometimes when thinking of courage, we think it only applies to rare and uncommon situations. Yet our ordinary lives can also be full of courage, even if we are not facing the end of a gun, a wild animal or a dangerous criminal. Courage doesn’t just mean doing heroic acts. 16 In fact, where there is fear on a daily basis, there are opportunities for you to show your courage. Here are some suggestions to develop courage by overcoming daily fears.● Recognize your fears.By realizing that you’re fearful, you are more likely to get to the bottom of what your fear is. 17 You might come to understand that you’re afraid of failing or taking chances. You may be fearful simply because you don’t have confidence in yourself. The key is not to dwell on (细想) your fear, but to understand what it is and what you’re worried about.● Ask yourself what is the worst that can happen.If you hesitate to take action, ask yourself this: What’s the worst that can happen? Then prepare to accept it. Then go on to improve on the worst. Is failure the worst thing that can happen? No, absolutely not. 18 Doing nothing is actually the worst thing that can happen. When you take no action, you are sure to get nowhere.● Take action.Courage comes from taking action. 19 You need to act to overcome your fear. Your action may put you into discomfort, but you have to just do it. And your action can prevent you from being stuck.● 20 .To build up your confidence, you need to do the same thing over and over again. Soon you will discover that less courage is needed because you have already gained mastery (精通). You areable to move decisively (果断地) forward.A．Share your fears with others.B．Practice, practice and practice.C．So you are already in a comfort zone.D．You cannot think courage comes just in one day.E．Each undesired result is just one more step towards your goal.F．Find out what is truly holding you back.G．You needn’t wait for an emergency to occur to develop courage.二、完形填空Afraid to have a start, I was walking slowly into my first school in America.

They look at students’ information to see who might stop coming because of worries, being bullied (欺凌), or other problems.In a city near Tokyo, they tested an AI system for a year. They wanted to help teachers find students who are having a hard time. In Japan, more and more kids are not going to school for a long time. In 2022, almost 300,000 kids didn’t go to school for 30 days or more.The AI system looks at things like how often kids go to school, how well they do in school, and if they are healthy. It also looks at if they visit the school nurse a lot or if there are reports about them being bullied.The system then uses past data (数据) to see how likely it is that a student will stop going to school. It gives each student a color, from red (highest risk) to yellow (lowest risk).In the test, the program said 1,193 students were at high risk. Teachers decided that 265 of them needed help right away.To keep kids’ information safe, the city made rules about how to use the data and not to treat students unfairly because of the AI’s predictions (预测). They also told parents they could say no to using their kids’ data. Only important people in the school, like headmasters, could see the results.“By using real information, we might be able to stop kids from not wanting to go to school.”said Makiko Nakamuro, a professor from Keio University and an expert on education. “But we have to think really hard about keeping their data safe by telling them clearly why and how was their information.” she also said.12．What is the main purpose of using AI in the Japanese city?A．To improve students’ scores.B．To study students’ health conditions.C．To make bullying problems happen less in schools.D．To find students at risk of not attending school.13．What is paragraph 3 mainly about?A．The job of school nurses.B．How the AI system checks kids' health.C．What information the AI system focuses on.D．The need for better education in schools. 14．How did the city protect students’ information?A．Hide all the data after testing.B．Only parents are allowed to share the data.C．Only headmasters can see the AI results.D．Make strict rules about data using. 15．What is Makiko Nakamuro’s attitude towards the AI system?A．Doubtful.B．Supportive.C．Anxious.D．Confused.How to Be a Successful High School StudentIt may be hard during the school year, but the following steps help you become a successful school student.Set clear goals. 16 Write down what you want to achieve, whether it’s getting good grades, joining sports, or joining a club. Having clear goals helps you stay focused.Manage your time wisely. Time is valuable. Once it is spent, it is gone. Create a schedule that includes time for studying, extracurricular activities, and relaxation. 17 Effective time management makes you balance (使平衡) schoolwork and personal life.18 Keep your study materials, tasks and notes in order.

A little blonde(金发的) girl got dropped off at the same time and started waving(招手) at me. She ran over and told me her name was Abigail. She was very nice and we became close straight away. We spent all morning together and began to talk to another girl called Stacey. The three of us sat together in class all day and we even made our way home together! It went so quickly.

Studies show that public schools across the country are cutting back on music classes to save money. Even worse, some schools have never had music classes to begin with. But without them, students’ academic growth and spiritual health could suffer. In fact, music classes are necessary for all students in schools.Recent studies Brown University have shown that students who received music education classes were better in math and reading skills than those without music classes. Another study by The College Board found that students taking music and art classes got higher points. Students’ academic success seems to depend on their taking part in music education.Music programs in public schools also help to add to a student’s sense of pride andself-confidence. Teens today have too many learning tasks. Besides, they have family problems, self-confidence problems, relationship troubles, and choices about smoke and alcohol. All of these can stop academic success, but music education can help. A study by The Texas Commission on Drug and Alcohol Abuse found that students who took part in school music programs were less likely to turn to smoke. Music programs encourage students to work together to produce an excellent performance.Music crosses language, class and culture. Music allows students from different countries to connect. For example, at a school talent show, a new Japanese student played a piano duet with an American classmate. Two students from different cultures worked as a team with self-confidence and common purpose through music.The gift of music is priceless.
