甘肃省天水市第一中学2023-2024学年高一上学期12月月考英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解It’s currently December and Christmas is almost here. And what better way to spend time with your loved ones than sitting down to watch some classic Christmas movies? Listed below are four films that will make you laugh, cry or both this festive season.The Grinch (2000)This is a Christmas must-watch and one of Jim Carrev’s best performances. It was also originally a children’s book written by Dr Seuss, which I would recommend reading! It’s the story of a green monster who wants to ruin Christmas, but who in the end discovers the power of love and generosity. I promise it’s a great film with plenty of laughs along the way.Love Actually (2003)While this is not a personal favourite of mine, people in the UK absolutely love this film. It has a number of stars, featuring actors and actresses such as Hugh Grant, Emma Thompson and Alan Rickman. It might be a little difficult to follow as there are lots of different sub-plots, so I recommend watching a dubbed version (配音版) in your native language..Home Alone (1990)This film is one of my favourite films of all time and I would watch it all year round if I could. It tells the story of a boy, Kevin, who is left alone in his house when his large family forget to take him on vacation with them. While the family are away, burglars (小偷) try to rob the house and Kevin must protect his home by setting traps. The trips, falls and traps will have you laughing out loud as you watch a 10-year-old boy outsmart two grown men.Miracle on 34th Street (1994)You can’t have Christmas in an English-speaking country without watching this film. It’s not funny like Home Alone or The Grinch, but it is incredibly touching. It’s about a man who claims to be Santa, but nobody believes him except a lawyer and a little girl.1．In which film can you see Jim Carrey’s wonderful performance?A．The Grinch.B．Love Actually.C．Home Alone.D．Miracle on 34th Street.2．What can we know about Love Actually?A．It’s one of the author’s favorite films.B．We’d better watch a dubbed version.C．It’s a film about the power of love and generosity.D．Some handkerchief papers are necessary when we watch it.3．What do the film The Grinch and Home Alone have in common?A．They are very touching.B．They are only fit for children.C．They are funny and make people laugh a lot.D．They are popular and tell a story about kids.Feeling tired? Under too much stress? Well, you may want to try Yoga(瑜珈). It’s what more and more people have been turning to to release the trouble of modern life. Practically unheard of in the West until 50 years ago, Yoga has become one of the most popular health trends around the world, including China. If you search for Yoga on line in Chinese, lots of pages are there to see, most of which are main pages of Yoga clubs. In order to keep fit and lose weight, many girls spend more than 1000 yuan taking part in Yoga classes every month.However, are you really ready for it? There are several things you need to know before you really take it.First, do not force your body too much. Yoga has many difficult poses. They are beautiful and worth boasting if you could finish them. But if you force yourself to do as exactly as an experienced Yoga teacher does, you may hurt your body, instead of strengthening it. Do you remember your original purpose for playing Yoga? It is self -building, not competing.Second, do some research about the Yoga class that you are to register（注册）. Yoga is new in China and there are not so many certificated well-trained Yoga teachers. Some not well-organized clubs just find someone learn a little Yoga and certificate them. But be aware, a non-eligible teacher might wrongly guide you and you could not benefit from the classes much，except that they force you to exercise your body a bit. Considering about the large amount of money you invest in it, it’s worth and reasonable to make sure the teachers in the club are qualified before you join.Third, it would be better to learn something about nutrition when you practice Yoga. In the very beginning, Yoga was part of the Vedas, bible of the traditional Indian philosophy. Soit could be regarded as a kind of lifestyle. When you have decided to care for your body, why not feed it properly? In fact, good clubs have their own nutritionists.Anyhow, make sure you are ready before you act. The fashion may change quickly. But what benefits is still good for us.4．The author’s main purpose in writing the passage is to .A．tell people how to relax themselvesB．let people know more about YogaC．give people some advice on taking part in Yoga classesD．tell peoples Yoga has gained its popularity in ChinaA．experienced B．qualifiedC．honored D．hi-technical6．Which of the following is NOT the author’s advice?A．Join one of the noblest Yoga clubs.B．Don’t easily follow the fashion about Yoga.C．Know some knowledge about nutrition.D．Find out a real teacher.A．Yoga has nothing to do with cultureB．Yoga is somehow easy to exerciseC．many people learn Yoga in order to competeD．not all the Yoga clubs have standard teachersRain or shine, Tsering Chopa treks (艰苦跋涉) for long hours to deliver mail. For 18 years, the Tibetan mailman has been an important link between a remote, high-altitude settlement and the rest of the world. At 5,373 meters above sea level, Pumachangthang in Nakarze county of the Tibet autonomous region is China’s highest township(乡镇). The oxygen level is less than 40 percent and the annual average temperature is –7℃ . However, these weren’t the biggest challenges for a postal service. The area of the township is about 1,500 square kilometers, but its population is less than 2,000. The distance from the county town is some 70 km and a single trip to all the six villages can be as long as 160 km. The dogged perseverance required to get the job done under such conditions needs no furtherexplanation.The busiest time for Tsering Chopa is between July and August each year, when students are waiting for their admission letters from various universities. He recalls once he had to deliver mail to one student whose family had already moved away. He had to quiz neighbors several times to find the new address. It was summer and the usual road to the village was blocked because of rain. He trekked for more than 20 km and grappled with shortness of breath all the way to finally deliver the letter. “I don’t mind the hardships because it is not easy for students from remote villages to get college admission. It was my duty to deliver the mail on time,” he says.One night in February 2019, a local resident Nyima Tsering’s daughter had fainted and desperately needed help. Knowing that, the mailman arranged for a car right away and sent her to the county hospital. He also gave some cash to the family for the girl’s treatment. Nyima Tsering’s daughter recovered soon, and Tsering Chopa became an idol in the village. “I will never forget his compassion and kindness,” says the grateful father.In 2019, Tsering Chopa received the China Youth May Fourth Medal. “It is an acknowledgment of what I do and a token of encouragement as well,” he says. “And I want to help more people living in remote areas. I want to bring the world closer to them and take them closer to the world.”8．Which is the most challenging part of Tsering Chopa’s work?A．Trekking for long distances.B．Suffering from cold temperatures.C．Standing extremely bad road conditions.D．Adapting to the high-altitudeenvironment.9．What words can best describe Tsering Chopa according to paragraph 2?A．Optimistic and cautious.B．Generous and intelligent.C．Courageous and ambitious.D．Persistent and responsible.10．How did Tsering Chopa help Nyima Tsering?A．Tsering Chopa fixed his car for free.B．Tsering Chopa saved his daughter’s life.C．Tsering Chopa delivered his admission letters quickly.D．Tsering Chopa drove him to a hospital for treatment.11．What is the best title for the text?A．Hardship Makes a Good Postman B．A Mailman Shows Kindness to StudentsC．A Postman in Tiebet Bridges Huge Gap D．Post Service Creates a Convenient LifeHumans evolve (进化) from apes. This is what we learned in biology class. But what came before 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 Evolution二、七选五Every life in BritainThe weather is the most common topic in Britain. 16 Because in Britain the weather changes a lot. Wind, rain, sun, cloud, snow---they can all happen in Britain.17 At banks, cinemas, shops, bus stops you can always see people in queues. They stand and wait quietly, often for a long time. Each new person stands at the end of the queue---sometimes in rain,wind or snow. They never complain and they will get quite upset when someone jumps the queue.Men always shake hands when they meet. 18 They shook hands to show that they didn't have sword(剑). Now shaking hands is a customer most countries. In Britain you don't shake hands with your friends or family members. But you do shake hands when you meet a person for the first time.19 And they always send birthday cards or presents.

She was leaving school this year and I was truly 26 about how she was so good during exams and how she didn’t let other’s remarks(言论) affect her. So I 27 decided to find out what was up. She told me that her friend was severely(严重地)socially anxious and she’d fallen behind in studies because she couldn’t dare to ask doubts in class or ask for 28 from others. So they had this system where during lectures her friend would 29 any questions she had, and then the girl would 30 them for her.

浙江省杭州市金华卓越联盟2023-2024学年高一上学期12月月考英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读选择This week in our national park’s journey, we explore a vast area with mountains, beaches, forests, and glaciers. Olympic National Park! It covers more than 400,000 hectares with several different ecosystems.Elwha ValleyThe Elwha V alley is in the central part of the park. It is the Olympic Peninsula’s largest watershed. A watershed is an area of land that separates waters that flow to different rivers or seas. Today, the Elwha River is the site of one of the largest ecosystem restoration projects in National Park Service history.Hoh River ValleyThe Hoh River is on the west side of the park. The river is formed from melted glacial ice on top of Mount Olympus. The river is 80 kilometers long. It empties into the Pacific Ocean. The area receives about 400 centimeters of rain each year. It is a temperate rainforest. Because of the amount of rain, many different types of plants grow in the Hoh rainforest, from mosses and ferns to huge Sitka spruce trees.Hurricane RidgeHurricane Ridge is a mountain area in the northern part of the park. It is easy to enter, and provides incredible views of the Olympic Mountains. The ridge has many hiking paths. In winter, people come here to ski. They also come here to take part in other fun winter activities, like sledding and snowboarding. Hurricane Ridge usually has snow from December through the end of March. Visitors must be prepared for icy roads and severe weather.The CoastThe westernmost part of the park is Pacific coastline. Olympic National Park has many breathtaking beaches. One of them is Rialto Beach, known for its tall seastacks while North of Rialto Beach is Hole-in-the-Wall. It is a natural arch that has been carved by the powerful sea.1．What can you do on the west side of the park?A．Swim in the river.B．Learn about various plants.C．Go hiking with your friends.D．Walk on the beaches.2．Which part is the most suitable for those who like winter sports?A．Elwha Valley.B．Hoh River Valley.C．Hirricane Ridge.D．Rialto Beach.3．What do the four attractions have in common?A．They are all very cold.B．They are all rich in ecosystems.C．They can all be reached easily.D．They are all part of Olympic National Park.At noon, the Tongxin Cafeteria near the Jing’an Temple downtown has a queue that exemplifies its multi-generational popularity. The menu, with over 60 dishes rotated daily, is liked by a series of tastes.“Compared with food ordered for lunch online, this place is much better.” said Chen Luo, an accountant from a nearby office building. Chen, who lives alone, formerly depended heavily on delivered meals ordered online until her parents raised concerns about the nutritional value and what they called “bad food materials.”Cooking for herself is too time-wasting, she said. “I used to spend two hours cooking and washing dishes, only to eat for 10 minutes,” Chen said. “The nearby community canteen (餐厅) is a perfect solution. These cafeterias, once known as ‘senior canteens’, were originally built to provide healthy meals at affordable prices to older folks who might not be getting enough nutrition at home. From 2019 to 2021, the Shanghai government set a goal of building 200 new community canteens, bringing the total at the end of last year to 1,608.A basic meal with one meat dish and two vegetables costs less than 20 yuan (US$2.70), far cheaper than prices in mainstream downtown restaurants. And all meals are prepared on site with fresh materials. The government supports these cafeterias—sometimes with rent-free space; sometimes with reduced water and electricity charges.Li Jiajun, the manager of a local community canteen, said the prices of the dishes are 20 percent lower than popular market rates because of the government assistance. His canteen provides elderly diners from 10:30—11:30 am and 4:30—5:30 pm. Apart from those hours, people of all ages are welcome.Li said cafeteria managers are required to maintain detailed records, including 48-hour food samples and daily uploads to food safety platforms. This approach ensures the paths ofall materials. Some community cafeterias have become so popular that they appear on WeChat and other lifestyle sharing platforms.4．Why is the menu mentioned in paragraph 1?A．To describe the menu.B．To introduce the topic.C．To arouse readers’ curiosity.D．To highlight the dishes.5．What can we learn from the passage?A．Chen Luo’s parents were too busy to cook nutritional meals for her.B．From 2019 to 2021, the Shanghai government built 1,608 new community canteens.C．The community canteens needn’t pay for electricity with the government assistance.D．The community canteens were once built to provide healthy meals for seniors. 6．Which of the following is not the reason why community canteens become popular?A．nutrition value B．fresh materialsC．government support D．lower prices7．What can probably be the best title for the passage?A．Community canteens growing in popularityB．Tongxin canteen liked by multi-generationsC．Community canteens shared on platformsD．More community canteens built for seniorsFrom AI-made jokes to Harry Potter fashion videos, AI can be used to make funny stuff. But can it be as funny as a human? And if it can, does it present a danger to comedy writers in the future? That’s something performers have been looking at in this year’s Edinburgh Festival Fringe, running from Aug 4 to 28.Anyone can put on a show at the Fringe, and this year even robots were getting in on the act. One of Fringe’s big shows even used a small robot to come up with jokes from audience suggestions, which were then performed by humans. The results could be very funny, but sometimes they weren’t funny at all. That was part of the point, explained Piotr Mirowski, the show’s co-maker.“We do not use humans to ‘show off’ AI; instead, we use AI ‘to show’ its limitations, to showcase human creativity on the stage,” said Mirowski, according to the Guardian.But one performer at the Fringe said he’s using AI to make jokes for him because he’s out of ideas. Comedian Peter Bazely’s show has him playing a supporting role to “an entirelycomputer-generated comedian” called AI Jesus. The Fringe review website, Chortle, talked about today’s AI concerns: “In a world where artists are worried that AI could end up doing their jobs for them, Bazely is said to be praying this one will do exactly that.”The reasons for companies wanting to use AI are certainly understandable, but the dangers they present to many people’s jobs are becoming more and more real, and that’s not very funny. From concerns in schools and colleges about students using ChatGPT for their work, to writers and actors worrying that AI could be used to replace them, fears about the dangers of AI are a hot topic in the world.Back in March of this year, a letter calling for a six-month stop on advanced AI development was signed by over 1,000 people working with AI technologies including Elon Musk and other well-known tech leaders, reported The New York Times. Then, in May, leaders in the AI industry signed a document from the Center for AI Safety warning that AI could present an extinction-level danger and “should be a global priority alongside... pandemics and nuclear war.”8．In what way is the Fringe unique this year?A．Some jokes were created by robots.B．It presented dangers to comedy writers .C．Harry Potter fashion videos were shown.D．The AI-made jokes were very funny. 9．Which of the following is true according to Paragraph 4?A．AI Jesus is an expert in jokes.B．AI was used to show its creativity.C．Bazely was positive about using AI.D．Chortle was concerned about the use of AI.10．Why does AI present a danger in the future?A．Because many people will use AI to show off.B．Because some people will probably be out of work.C．Because well-known tech leaders will stop developing AI.D．Because AI can present pandemics and nuclear war.11．What’s the author’s attitude to the future of the AI development?A．Positive.B．Negative.C．Unclear.D．Objective.An Austrian company Tec-Innovation recently showed smart shoes that use ultrasonic sensors (超声波传感器) to help people suffering from vision impairment to discoverobstacles(障碍) up to four meters away.Known as InnoMake, the smart shoe aims to replace the decades-old walking stick that millions of people around the world depend on to get around as safely as possible. The currently available model relies on sensors to detect obstacles and warns the wearer through shaking and a loud alert sounded on a bluetooth-linked smartphone. That sounds impressive enough, but the company is already working on a much more advanced version that incorporates cameras and artificial intelligence to not only detect obstacles but also their nature.“Not only is the warning that I am facing an obstacle relevant, but also the information about what kind of obstacle I am facing. Because it makes a big difference whether it’s a wall, a car or a staircase.” Markus Raffer, one of the founders of Tec-Innovation, told TechXplore.”Ultrasonic sensors on the toe of the shoe detect obstacles up to four meters away. The wearer is then warned by vibration and/or acoustic signals. This works very well and is already a great help to me personally.” Raffer, himself visually impaired, added.The current version of the InnoMake shoe is already available for purchase on the Tec-Innovation website, for €3,200 per pair.The advanced system is integrated in the front of the shoes, in a waterproof and dustproof case. It is powered by a heavy-duty battery that can last for up to one week, depending on use. The battery can be charged in just three hours, using a USB cable.The next step for Tec-Innovation is to use the data collected by its system to create a kind of street view navigation map for visually impaired people.“As it currently stands, only the wearer benefits in each case from the data the shoe collects as he or she walks. It would be much more sustainable if this data could also be made available to other people as a navigation aid,” computer scientist Friedrich Fraundorfer explained.12．Who are interested in the smart shoes?A．The deaf people.B．The injured people.C．The blind or sight-impaired.D．The sick people.13．What does the underlined word “integrated” mean in the sixth paragraph?A．Combined.B．Separated.C．Benefited.D．Allowed. 14．What does the second paragraph mainly tell us?A．Why the smart shoes are developed.B．What the smart shoes can do.C．How the smart shoes work.D．How the data are collected. 15．Where is the text probably taken?A．A science report.B．A fashion magazine.C．An educational column.D．A news report.Vanessa Gebhardt, a psychologist, explained how breaking these harmful habits can help to have a positive effect.1. Constantly checking your phoneResearch by De Montfort University recently found that checking your phone regularly can make you more distracted and forgetful, and that’s not to mention the negative impact this habit can have on your mental health. 17 To overcome this, monitor your screen time and be mindful of who you choose to follow, which online conversations or debates you choose to join, and focus on the positive posts, rather than the negative ones.2. Being inside all dayThe corona-virus pandemic has been tough on many people as being inside all day can be difficult. Spending the majority of your day indoors can significantly increase your risk for depression, with lack of sunlight and vitamin D contributing to depressive symptoms. 18 3. 19Sleeping too little can leave us feeling under the weather, and this Vanessa says, is because sleep deprivation leads to low mood, difficulty concentrating, irritability, and getting more easily overwhelmed, which can negatively impact your mental health. Using techniques to relax before bed will help you to develop a sleep routine that works for you, helping you to feel energized and more positive during your waking hours.4. Bad dietStudies have shown that high-sugar, processed foods like cakes, bread, and biscuits, as well as red meat can significantly raise the risk for depression and eating these sorts of foods on a regular basis could be one of the reasons your mental health is suffering. To positively impact your mental health, pay close attention to the foods you are fueling your body and mind with. 205. Lack of exerciseExercising is brilliant for reducing stress and the feel-good endorphins released byexercise can be an instant mood-booster. Regular exercise can also help improve your energy levels and motivation, increasing feelings of happiness and reducing symptoms of depression, anxiety, and stress.A．This mindless checking is a hurtful habit to push us to look for immediate satisfaction.B．It is important to choose a meal full of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.C．Spending too much time checking your phone can reduce self-respect and produce negative thoughts.D．Sleeping too late.E．Lack of sleep.F．Pretending to go to and from work is a great way to head outside for a short walk.G．But there are some that can be bad for our mental health.二、完形填空It was a cold May morning when I received an interesting email from an old high schoolwhat you’re capable of if you don’t go out there and try.21．A．yes B．no C．so D．never 22．A．girls B．adults C．seniors D．women 23．A．swimming B．surfing C．boating D．diving 24．A．worried B．anxious C．confused D．honored 25．A．in B．out C．off D．away 26．A．eager B．new C．familiar D．specific 27．A．personalities B．goals C．desires D．interests 28．A．enjoy B．help C．challenge D．defeat 29．A．Guided B．Divided C．Designed D．Named 30．A．fell B．froze C．reached D．crashed 31．A．fear B．pride C．encouragement D．wonder 32．A．badly B．perfectly C．carefully D．bravely 33．A．try B．succeed C．finish D．manage 34．A．suggests B．stops C．prevents D．inspires 35．A．leave behind B．step out of C．reach into D．get through三、语法填空45 (sit) all the day.四、翻译46．他给我们树立了良好的榜样，从他身上我们能学到很多。

AHere are four of the most charming villages in Europe,along with our top picks for places to stay in each.Eze in Cota D’Azur,FranceSet on a hilltop overlooking the Mediterranean Sea,the Provencal township of Eze is easily one of the most picturesque spots in the region.It is largely a tourist destination,and many of its buildings dates back to the Middle Age.In fact,Eze is particularly popular with couples seeking romantic solitude.Hotel pick:Chateau de la ChevreBaden-Baden in Wurttemberg,GermanyGermany’s best-known spa town,Baden-Baden,in the Black Forest of Baden-Wuttemberg,has been a popular spot for soaking in mineral-rich waters off and on since the Roman era.And while spa treatments and hot springs are still among the most popular draws for tourists,there are also plenty of museums,gardens,performing arts venues and charming old buildings and churches.Hotel pick:Hotel Belle EpoqueMontepulciano in Tuscany,ItalySpread over a hilltop nearly2,000metres above sea level,the Tuscan village of Montepulciano offers gorgeous Renaissance architecture as well as opportunities to visit wine companies.Surrounded by strong walls dating back to the14th century,the village features a handful of churches and public squares.Hotel pick:Etruria ResortOia in Santorini,Greecea ticket as early as possible.The locals are crazy soccer fans,and you’ll find it hard to get a ticket if you don’t wait in the queue early.As you can see,Newcastle is a fascinating city with so much to be offered and so many things to see.You’re sure to have a wonderful time here!8．Most visitors come to Newcastle in order to________.A．watch its soccer team playB．take the local tour busesC．visit the Hancock MuseumD．have a big meal in restaurants9．If you want to learn about the history and culture of Newcastle,you________.A．should go to the GateB．can go on a city tourC．must visit St.James ParkD．must drive your own car10．The underlined word“They”in Para.3refers to“________”．A．history lovers B．local peopleC．city tour buses D．local soccer teams 11．According to the passage,which one is NOT correct?A．The most popular place in Newcastle is the Gate.B．Millennium Bridge is attractive to culture and local history lovers.C．The mood of the locals can’t be influenced by the success or failure of the local team.D．You’d better book a ticket as early as possible if you want to watch the local team play soccer.D“I’m going to tell you a heartbreaking story.”I told my class of high school seniors.All eyes looked up.Nothing quiets a chatty group of teenagers faster than the promise of a story.“In sixth grade,”I began,“I fell in love.His name was David.”The girls were laughing.“So it was Valentine’s Day.I saw one enormous envelope on my desk.My mind raced:‘Who could it be from?’With trembling hands,I tore it open and there was a card.At the bottom I saw the signature and almost fainted:David.Then my eyes traveled up to the writing above his signature.It read,‘To the Ugliest Girl in Our Class’”.Mouths dropped open.Some looked down at their desks,seemingly embarrassed for me.“What did you do?”asked a brave soul.I said.“My eyes filled with tears.It ruined Valentine’s Day for me.It shook what little faith I had in myself for a long time after.But I survived,and it gave me the motivation to undo the cruelty of David.”I smiled.“And that’s why we’re going to have a card exchange.”Their eyes lighted up.“Write something positive and sincere to someone in the class.Even if it’s someone you barely know,there’s always something nice to say.Admire their fashion sense or their basketball skills.Tell them you appreciate their friendly smile.”Looking on as they composed each message was always a treat.But the real fun came when they read what people wrote to them.From then on,I made it a Valentine tradition.After20years of teaching,I harbor few hopes that students will remember all of the vocabulary.But if a student recalls of the lesson they received on Valentine’s Day,to me that makes it all worthwhile.12．What happened on the Valentine’s Day when the author was in sixth grade?A．She broke David’s heart.B．She was made fun of by David.C．She sent David a Valentine card.D．She took the wrong card by mistake. 13．Why did the class have a card exchange?A．To tell personal stories.B．To show fashion sense.C．To express appreciation.D．To share basketball skills. 14．How does the author feel about the outcome of her Valentine tradition?A．Unexpected.B．Valuable.C．Humorous.D．Discouraging. 15．Which is the best title for the text?A．An Exciting Job B．An Honest MistakeC．An Experienced Teacher D．A Valentine's Day Lesson第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)根据下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

浙江省湖州市长兴县太湖高级中学2023-2024学年高一上学期12月月考英语试题

浙江省湖州市长兴县太湖高级中学2023-2024学年高一上学期12月月考英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解3 Most Walkable Cities in EuropeWalking on holiday is a great way to stay fit, but also to see the sights a city has to offer. Here are the three most walkable cities in Europe.Athens, GreeceAthens is one of the oldest cities in the world. The capital of Greece ranks fifth, with a slightly longer—but very worthwhile—route of 2.1 miles between its top-rated tourist attractions.Visitors to Athens can set off at the Acropolis, climbing to discover the ancient Parthenon that stands as a landmark to the city’s ancient legacy. Then it leads to the Acropolis Museum, with the neighbourhood of Plaka waiting to be explored in the shadow of the Acropolis. The National Archaeological Museum is also close-by.Seville, SpainSeville is home to some wonderful sights that are best seen when walking. Seville in Spain takes the top spot as Europe’s most walkable city, offering the shortest walking route between the top five tourist attractions.Visitors to this charming Spanish city can explore the impressive Plaza de Espana public square, before wandering over to the UNESCO-listed palace of Real Alcazar and Seville Cathedral. After that it’s only a short trip on foot to visit the beautiful Barrio Santa Cruz neighbourhood and admire the Torre Giralda bell tower hanging above. With just 20 minutes of walking between these attractions.Venice, ItalyVenice is famous for walkers, so it’s no surprise it ranks as the second best location for walkable city breaks. Walking is the best way to explore the bridges over the canals the city is famed for. There are endless charming alleyways to explore, as well as plenty of bridges over the canals that the city is famous for. Just under half an hour of walking here will take you on a tour of the impressive Grand Canal.1．What’s the recommended starting point of the city walk in Athens?A．Plaka.B．The Acropolis.C．The Acropolis Museum.D．The National Archaeological Museum .2．Why is Sevilla the top destination as a walkable city in Europe?A．It offers some wonderful sights.B．Visitors can explore five tourist attractions.C．It makes visitors enjoy their time to the full.D．Visitors can tour five tourist attractions in the shortest walking distance.3．Who is the text intended for?A．Those who are hiking during the vacation.B．Those who want to find suggestions on where to travel.C．Those who are looking for the best traveling destinations.D．Those who usually choose walkable cities for their vacation.Back in the day when I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do with my life, I was studying to become a firefighter. As a firefighter, you’re constantly thinking of other people and trying to help children. It’s the mindset, that is the most difficult part in this job!One night I was heading home and decided to stop off at a burrito (玉米饼) place. I was approached by a homeless man. He was very dirty and obviously hungry. He asked me for some change to buy a little food. As I was pulling some change out, I had an idea.I decided to see if he wanted to eat a real dinner, so I asked him to follow me back into the burrito joint to order. When he followed me in, the people behind the count er refused to let him in. After some arguing, so I had to encourage him to order whatever and however much he wanted. He ended up ordering enough to fill his stomach at least 3 times over!For someone who has been on the edges of society it seemed like he was very surprised at my kind behavior. But to me, it was what any “human being” should do or at least offer. I know we see these people every day asking for money but you had to be there to see the look in his face. To me it reminded me when I was young and my mom brought out a big birthday cake for me on my birthday, with all the candy, getting to experience a big meal. And I think he felt special, like he was getting attention. Again something that I could see he hadn’t experienced in a long time.I often think about this story, because to me it’s not just about helping someone out by feeding them, but giving him the respect of being a human being and allowing him to feel good about himself was very rewarding.4．What’s the hardest part of being a firefighter according to the author?A．Learning to be a good firefighter.B．Deciding what to do in the future.C．Dealing with the brother’s relationship.D．Developing the mindset of helping others.5．What do we know about the homeless man?A．He was grateful for the author’s kindness.B．He ordered whatever he wanted the moment he was in.C．He asked the author to buy a burrito to fill his stomach.D．He was not welcomed by those running the burrito joint at first.6．What is the author’s purpose in mentioning the birthday cake?A．To think back to his own birthday at a young age.B．To explain the reason for the values he holds onto.C．To show the similar experience of the homeless man.D．To tell the difference between him and the homeless man.7．Which of the following words can best describe the writer?A．Caring and humorous.B．Selfless and determined.C．Kind-hearted and thoughtful.D．Considerate and Hard-working.This summer, daytime temperatures topped 100 degrees for a full month in northwest China. Southern Europe experienced waves of 100-plus degree days. Heat waves show a serious reality: human-driven climate change is making extreme heat worse worldwide. But health-threatening heat isn’t the only result of record-breaking weather: air pollution happens when the temperatures rise according to a new report from the World Meteorological Organization.The new report, which focuses on 2022, shows the growing risk of air pollution connected to wildfires. Hotter temperatures increase the risk of large the risk of large,hot-burning fires, which can pump enormous plumes of smoke into the air. That smoke causes health problems near the fire but also for people thousands of miles downwind.Extreme heat, also drives up the likelihood of drought, which in turn makes big dust storms more likely. Great clouds of fine dust blew off major deserts last year, particularly affecting the Arabian Peninsula region. Southern Europe also got hit by a major dust storm after a heat wave baked the deserts of northern Africa in the summer.“That’s a very bad combination of conditions,” says Julie Nicely, an atmospheric chemist at the University of Maryland, who worked on the report. That mix is particularly dangerous for elderly people, or people with breathing sensitivities. “That is very bad for the lungs and the cardiovascular (心血管),” she says.Air pollution levels have dropped in the past few decades in response to environmental regulations like the Clean Air Act in the United States. Ozone pollution (臭氧污染), however, remains a problem. The report authors point out that the extra heat in the atmosphere driven by climate change overpowers even the gains made by strict environmental protections. The authors suggested focusing on the importance of slowing or changing human-caused climate change as quickly as possible.“Climate change and air quality cannot be treated separately. They go hand in hand and must be solved together to break this cycle,” WMO Secretary General Petteri Taalas said in a press release.8．Why is the extreme weather in northwest China and southern Europe mentioned in Para l?A．To introduce the topic.B．To show the serious situation.C．To warn people of the bad weather.D．To compare two countries’ weather.9．What can we learn from the last two paragraphs?A．Air pollution is likely to be solved in the future.B．Climate change and air quality are closely connected.C．It’s no use slowing or changing human-caused climate change.D．People’s efforts to protect the environment make no difference.10．What’s the result of environmental regulation like the Clean Air Act?A．It deals with the air pollution completely.B．It makes a big difference to the air problem.C．It has made the problem of air pollution worse.D．It is partly effective in dealing with air pollution.11．Where is the text most probably taken from?A．A science magazine.B．A travel brochure.C．A research paper.D．An encyclopedia.Artificial intelligence (AI) plays an important role in the Asian Games Hangzhou 2022 and Asian Para Games. AI usually refers to the advanced technologies, such as the naked﹣eye 3D, AR and so on. These terms might sound familiar, but how smart are they when applied to the 56 Asian Games venues (场地)?Their smartness can be found in running the venues with less human labor forces and with more connections between man and machines. At the Huanglong Sports Center, a system called Smart Stadium Brain is built. The Brain, a 25 square meter high definition screen in the venue’s information center, the lighting, the energy consumption guarantee a friendly environment for the athletes and audiences. For the benefit of audiences, a small screen on each seat is designed to be at the audience’s service. By finger touching, the audience can control it from three parts—angle, and size to watch and keep contact with the event. What’s more, supported by the 5 G technology.AI also means further protection on environment. At the Fuyang sports Center, although it has been raining for days, the roof of the venue still remains dry. And the secret lies in its attractive sky garden. The garden, is not only eye﹣catching but also useful. It allows the greening rate of the entire stadium to reach as high as 45%, being energy﹣saving. Under the cobblestones (鹅卵石) , a recovery system is filtering (过滤) and collecting rainwater for the venue’s water system, and irrigation water.Smart devices are employed both inside and outside the venues. For example, the Tonglu sports Center starts a WeChat mini﹣program for any follower to learn about the venue through VR games and videos before the Hangzhou Asian Games. During the Games, the program will allow the athletes and audiences to place orders online.12．Which of the following can replace the underlined word “guarantee” in Para2?A．Make sure of.B．Take advantage of.C．Get used to.D．Keep up with.13．What can we infer from Para2?A．The audience can’t see the whole venue on the large screen.B．The stadium is environmentally friendly and advanced but costly.C．The audience can control small screens on their seats as they wish.D．Small screens make the game watching enjoyable and convenient.14．How does the roof of the venue keep dry while it’s raining?A．By saving energy.B．By using the cobblestone of the sky garden.C．By recycling the rainwater.D．By improving the greening rate.15．What can be a suitable title for the text?A．Asian Games with Artificial Intelligence.B．A Sports Center with Smart Stadium Brain.C．More Connections with Smart Devices.D．Smart Asian Games with High﹣tech Venues.二、七选五Creative ways to change your workoutsMost people know working out is good for your health, both physical and mental.16 Sure, you may get excited about training for a 5 K or 10 K, but once the race is over, only to become tired of it after a few weeks.Create a word or image with your exercise routeRunners often map routes through city streets that create a word or image, then use a GPS device to “draw” it as they run. 17 Not sure what image or message to create? You can always follow artistic routes others have created and shared in the apps.Some are impressively complex and may take several excursions to complete.But that’s part of the fun.Join a free fitness groupExercising can be more fun with others, so look for group fitness opportunities. Manycommunities offer free exercise opportunities. Fitness in the Park is a summer-long activity that has been operating in New York state for a decade. Everyone is welcome to head to one of 18 different parks. 18 “The best part is grabbing a partner that you don’t know, or getting together with one that you do,” Frion said. “It’s always so much fun.”19Sure, you can run a 5 K. But why not try orienteering (定向越野赛)? This timed navigational sport requires you to use detailed maps to find orange-and-white flags that are hidden in parks or remote areas. Races involve difficult running routesDanceWhether you take a class or practice at home, dancing is a great way to get your body moving. Dancing doesn’t seem like exercise to a lot of people, which is why it’s always a popular choice. 20 “The workout allows for a creative aspect and meditation at the same time,” she said. “Many people come because it is an opportunity to try something different, as well as to dance in a nonjudgmental space.”A．Hit the road.B．Sign up for a new-to-you event.C．Participants have ranged in age from about 10 to over 70.D．But staying motivated — especially for the long term — can be a struggle.E．The event is timed, so people often jog or power walk from flag to flag.F．You can do the same, whether your favored exercise is running, walking or biking.G．It’s also something you can do anywhere, to any kind of music, salsa, hip-hop — it all works.三、完形填空Every family should have an emergency kit in their home.

Speakers at recent TED events have shared simple and inexpensive solutions that can solve everyday problems.FUEL BRIQUETTES （燃料砖）In the developing world, smoke from indoor cooking kills more than 2 million children each year. In fact, it’s the number one cause of death of children under five. Amy Smith, founder of D-Lab at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), discovered a way to make a safe cooking fuel. The material she uses is also free and plentiful: farm waste.Smith invented a low-cost device that turns farm waste into fuel briquettes. These briquettes produce smoke that is less dangerous than the smoke from other fuel. They also burn hotter and last longer. Farmers can make these briquettes from readily available waste. This invention has an economic benefit, too. Farmers can buy the device for $2 and sell briquettes they don’t use. Smith estimates (估算) that this can increase a farmer’s income by $500 a month.DISASTER SHELTERSOver 31 million people worldwide lose their homes every year due to natural disasters such as hurricanes and earthquakes. After these disasters, many people live in terrible conditions—in tents or in large stadiums with no privacy. Graphic designer Michael McDaniel invented inexpensive and temporary housing for people in these situations.Called the Reaction Ex, these shelters are small, one-room houses that comfortably hold up to four people. They’re made from a plastic that is strong, recyclable, and super light. In fact, they’re so light that they can be lifted by hand and are very portable as well. McDaniel hopes that his invention will provide an affordable solution to help people rebuild their lives after a natural disaster.16．The key goal to invent the fuel briquettes is to________.A．increase family incomeB．make full use of farm wasteC．get free and plentiful cooking fuelD．protect kids from dangerous cooking smoke17．What are the features of disaster shelters?A．Light and affordable.B．Heavy and recyclable.C．Big and comfortable.D．Small and breakable.18．What is the main purpose of the passage?A．To explain design methods.B．To introduce new inventions.C．To report research findings.D．To advertise latest products.Compassion may be something that one is born with, but actually being good at caring for others requires experience and a certain set of skills. An early opportunity to develop and practice these skills came with the birth of my brother when I was in 5th grade. Although it took great patience to deal with a small child, I found deep joy in something so simple as watching him grow day by day.Not only did I enjoy taking care of my little brother, but I volunteered at theOrganization for Special Needs Families (OSNF) in my neighborhood so I could apply and further develop my childcare skills. I was partnered with Matthew, a 10-year-old with curly blond hair and blue eyes. He didn’t look different from other kids, but he had difficulty controlling his emotions, especially anger. His biggest problem was that he couldn’t go to the toilet himself. Every day I had to clean up his mess if he pooped in his pants. It was just like the “good old days” with my little brother before I successfully toilet-trained him.Although I was never going to be able to toilet-train Matthew, I was able to change his life in another way. We had swimming three times a week, but Matthew was hopelessly afraid of the water. At first, Matthew just sat on the steps of the pool and did nothing. I pushed him slowly down the stairs until he was at last standing in the shallowest part of the pool. The next day, I pushed him a little further into the water. By the third day, he completely trusted me to take him into the pool. Maybe my large size also helped give him a sense of security. He did not have to be afraid of anything when a 200-pound guy was holding him tight. I felt so proud as I saw him standing there in the pool, happily playing with other kids in the water. The OSNF adult leaders told me that I was the only volunteer who had been able to take care of Matthew well. I think what made the difference is the belief I had in Matthew, like how I had always believed in my little brother.Helping Matthew “grow” to overcome his fear of water made me realize things do not happen overnight. Real magic is a result of patience, and miracles happen when one believes in them.19．How did the author feel about taking care of his brother?A．Tired.B．Joyful.C．Proud.D．Stressed.20．The author volunteered at OSNF because he wanted to ________.A．use and improve his childcare skillsB．create a friendly neighborhoodC．change the lives of other kidsD．get some work experience21．With the author’s help, Matthew finally could ________.A．control his emotions B．play with his friendsC．poop in the toilet D．stand in the pool22．According to the author, what mattered most when he helped Matthew “grow”?A．His large size and strong body.B．His experience and knowledge.C．His patience and trust in Matthew.D．His willingness to take care of his brother.At the heart of psychology is understanding behavior, and understanding behavior has much to do with understanding the brain. Neuroscientists (神经系统科学家) have become more efficient at mapping the brain and have gained more understanding of how the brain develops and works. Truly, differences in behavior as we age and between genders, are most likely explained by the physical state of and changes in our brains.Around the age of 12, it is believed that the areas of the brain that are used most will be strengthened and cells in the brain that are not used tend to die. What you do with your brain in your teen years probably decides how your brain will work for the rest of your life. If a teen spends endless hours watching TV, the neural connections that help the brain process TV are what will be strengthened. It is clear, therefore, that how young people spend their time is of great importance.Surprisingly, and different from earlier beliefs, the brain is still developing even in the early twenties. Areas of the brain that are related to emotion, decision making, reasoning, and problem solving are still not fully developed. This may go some way toward explaining why car accident rates in young people are significantly higher than those among older people. Young people don’t have the necessary skills to make complex judgments while driving.There are also differences in the way brains develop when it comes to gender. It appears that girls are ready to process more challenging information earlier than boys, with the area of the brain responsible for this activity peaking at the age of 14 to 16 in boys, a full two years later than girls. In addition, studies have shown that girls and boys process language input in different parts of their brains. Girls typically tend to do better than boys in language, which means that they have more brain matter responsible for language skills.This kind of research raises important questions about how boys and girls should be taught in school to maximize (使最大化) their learning. For example, the idea of single-sex education should perhaps be taken into consideration. Experts say that we would do well to revisit the timing of the subjects taught in school, as some parts of the brain develop before others. Additionally, what we understand about the teenage brain should perhaps be taken intoconsideration when laws are being made with regard to the minimum (最低的) driving age. 23．According to the passage, young people are more likely to have car accidents because_______.A．they fail to realize the importance of skillsB．they don’t have the necessary skills in drivingC．certain areas in their brains are not fully developedD．their brains tend to be influenced by their emotions24．What can we learn from the passage?A．Earlier beliefs show the brain is still developing in the early twenties.B．Girls are better at language because they are devoted to language learning.C．How people spend their time when they’re teenagers affects their future life.D．Gender makes no difference when it comes to the physical state of the brain.25．It can be inferred from the last paragraph that ________.A．single-sex education may benefit teenagersB．the time when school starts should be put offC．lawmakers will lower the minimum driving ageD．the number of subjects in school might be changed26．Which would be the best title for this passage?A．Age and the Brain B．Genders and the BrainC．Mapping the Brain D．The Developing Brain三、阅读表达阅读下面的短文和问题，根据短文内容，完成对该问题的回答。

Thankfully, she is blessed with good health.I still remember ten years ago when she turned 80, she surprised my brother and me with what she described as “independent birthday”.One day she informed us she'd booked a seven-night trip to Turkey. Alone. Because she had never been. Of course, that was ridiculous. There was no way my brother and I could allow that. A weak, little old lady wandering the streets of Istanbul on her own, not speaking a word of Turkish, with no knowledge of the laws and customs of the land—it was out of the question!She paid no attention to us. Off she went. When she returned, she told us it had been a wonderful success. As it turned out, she had barely spent any time alone, after hiring a taxi driver to show her around Istanbul for some days. He took her to all the sites—the markets, churches and restaurants. He introduced her to a blanket seller, “a lovely fellow,” and she bought some blankets. The seller took her address details and promised to ship them to Canada. They would be arriving in three or four weeks. My mother beamed (眉开眼笑) as she told this story. The blanket seller and my mother apparently built a friendship and she told him to drop by if he were ever in Canada.To our great shock, her blankets did arrive some weeks later, along with a lovely note from the seller Mustafa. To our even greater surprise, the following year Mustafa himself arrived in Canada. He called our mother to inform her he was in Ottawa.“I invited him over and he came by for a cup of tea. They drink a lot of tea in Turkey,” my mother told my horrified brother and me.Her trip of independence seems to be thoughtfully based on a realization that life is to be lived. It reminded me of the line from the movie The Shawshank Redemption: “Get busy living or get busy dying.”4．Why did the author's mother go to Turkey alone?A. To make the author and the brother surprised.B. To celebrate her 80th birthday independently.C. To prepare herself to enter her ninth decade.D. To inform the author that she needed independence.5．Which of the following best describes the mother's trip to Turkey on the whole?A. Colorful.B. Boring.C. Dangerous.D. Challenging.6．What do we know about the blanket seller?A. He is poor but kind-hearted.B. He is outgoing and funny.C. He is rich but selfish.D. He is friendly and reliable.7．What can we learn from the text?A. It's never too old to learn.B. East or West, home is best.C. Life should be well lived.D. Time and tide wait for no man.Billionaire Elon Musk on Wednesday announced that he has formed a new artificial intelligence(AI) company, xAI, which has employed researchers from Google, OpenAI and other top technology companies. The goal, Musk tweeted, is “to understand reality.”xAI is a separate company from Musk's other businesses, such as Tesla and Twitter, but will work closely with them, according to the new company's website.mention what projects it will be working on, the company noted that its team of 11 researchers are drawn from top tech companies such as Microsoft Research, OpenAI and Google.Musk suggested that the reason he picked July 12, 2023, to announce the start of xAI is connected with a science fiction(科幻小说) classic, Douglas Adams' “The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.” In his tweet, he noted that adding the date 7-12-23 equals 42, which the work of the fiction famously assumes is the answer to life.“The goal of xAI is to understand the true nature of the universe,” the xAI website states. The company said it will be advised by Dan Hendrycks, director of the Center for AI Safety. Hendrycks pointed out where AI could cause problems. “AIs could be used by bad people to make new deadly bioweapons(生物武器),” Hendrycks said in May. “Or people could make AI that tries to hurt people on purpose. If this AI was really smart, it could be a big danger to all of us.”The first time xAI was shown to the public was after Musk talked about it in April to the former Fox News host Tucker Carlson. Musk told Carlson that OpenAI's ChatGPT was a bitbiased(有偏见的) and that he wanted to create a different tool that would be a super honest AI that tries to learn how everything in the world works.The new company reflected(反映) Musk's long-voiced concerns about a future in which AI systems could present a risk to human existence. The idea, Musk said, is that an AI that wants to understand humanity is less likely to destroy it.8．What does the underlined word “novice” in paragraph 3 mean?A. Boss.B. Coach.C. Partner.D. Beginner.9．Why did Musk announce the start of xAI on July 12, 2023?A. He chose the date to remember a friend.B. He was influenced by a number in a book.C. It was suggested by a writer at his invitation.D. It was the decision of all the 11 researchers of xAI.10．What does Hendrycks think of AI?A. It is quite worrying.B. It is money-making.C. It will not be smarter than humans.D. It can be used to punish bad people. 11．What did Musk say to Carlson?A. It will take time to create a new AI.B. OpenAI's ChatGPT has its advantages.C. Creating an honest AI is his dream.D. It is hard to change people's ideas of AI.The story about horses in North America told in several written histories is in need of an update, according to a new study. After examining archaeological(考古学的) remains(遗骸) of horses, researchers suggest Indigenous peoples(土著居民) had spread the animals through the American West by the first half of the 1600s — before they met Europeans.The findings agree with oral (口述的) histories from Indigenous groups, which tell of interactions(相互作用)with horses before settlers arrived in their homelands. Meanwhile, written European texts from the 1700s and 1800s stated that horses only spread through the area after 1680.Horses first appeared in the Americas around four million years ago, but by about 10,000 years ago, they had mostly disappeared from the record. Spanish settlers likely first brought horses back to the Americas in 1519. According to the new study, Indigenous peoples then transported horses north along trade networksTo find when the animals spread, researchers examined the remains of more than twenty horses discovered across the Western U.S. Rather than simply walking around the countryside on their own, the horses appear to have been part of Native American culture. Signs of teeth problems on one horse and growths on the bones of the head of another suggested people had put bridles(马勒) on the animals. Certain chemical elements(化学元素) in the animals' teeth suggested they ate maize, an Indigenous plant. And another horse had a previously broken facial bone that had fully recovered, meaning it might have received medical treatment.Researchers compared the ancient horses' DNA with that of modern horses and found that the centuries-old horses had largely Spanish origins(血统).Together, the findings suggest horses spread "from Spanish settlements in the American Southwest to the northern Rockies and central Great Plains by the first half of the 17th century.”The findings also highlight the importance of Indigenous oral traditions in understanding history. “Our cultures have been so misunderstood for so long,” says co-author Yvette Collin. “Too often history has been told around us, without us.”12．What needs to be updated according to the new study?A. When horses showed up in the Americas.B. Who introduced horses to North America.C. When Native Americans first met Europeans.D. Who spread horses through the American West.13．What did researchers find out about ancient horses from the remains?A. They had hardly any Spanish origins.B. They were born with tooth disease.C. They played a role in natives' life.D. They were badly treated by natives. 14．What does Collin think of oral histories?A. They spread easily.B. They show the truth.C. They pass down traditions.D. They unite Indigenous groups.15．What is the best title for the text?A. Written texts explain human-horse interactionsB. Oral histories help us understand Indigenous culturesC. New research rewrites the history of American horsesD. Archaeological remains are the key to learning about the past二、阅读补全16．Looking for something to do while waiting for the bus?①_____At 20 stops across Boston until August, you can check out digital books from the library using your smartphone.

The site has dozens of iconic temples like Ta Prohm (a magnificent temple ruin hidden in the jungle). Hosting more than two million visitors annually, this artistic masterpiece is a must-see site, Petra, JordanPetra's rock-cut architecture has contributed to its nickname, the Rose City, based on the color of the stone it was carved from.

She reluctantly agreed to read it with me after I told her it was one of my favoritelove with the book.Watching her connect to the story brought back a flood of memories about my first time reading the book. It was like introducing my daughter to a much younger version of myself. I highly recommend other parents share their favorite childhood books, a sweet activity with lots of benefits.Every night, I sit on the end of my daughters’ beds and read them the stories I’ve cherished for decades. This distraction-free time gives my kids the chance to ask questions about the book we’re reading, the “olden days” when I was a kid, and whatever else is on their minds.My 9-year-old especially adores this time together and the deeper connection she feels to her family because of it. Reading her a book that holds significant meaning for me brings us together in a whole new way.There’s nothing better than watching my kids’ reactions to books I’ve loved my entire life. They chattered with excitement when Charlie found his golden ticket in Roald Dahl’s classic and pulled the covers over their blushing faces when Almanzo asked Laura if he could walk her home in the Little House series.In these moments, it feels like I’m reaching through time and connecting my childhood with theirs.Every generation has books that define them. For my kids, it’s mostly fantasy and realistic fiction. By reading my childhood favorites to them, my kids step outside their comfort zones and try new genres, authors, and writing styles. My 9-year-old didn’t know she loved folklore until we read my favorite collection of Japanese children’s stories together. My 11-year-old became obsessed with wilderness survival stories when I read Scott O’Dell’s4．What can the underlined word in the first paragraph be replaced by?A．changed B．translated C．built D．burnt5．How does reading together influence the author and his daughters?A．They don’t understand each other.B．They forget their unhappiness in the past.C．They become closer to each other.D．They get bored with each other. 6．What are the kids’ responses to the books the author loved in his childhood?A．They are excited and pleased.B．They are bored but curious.C．They are astonished and sad.D．They are uninterested but grateful. 7．What can we infer about the author from the last paragraph?A．He burdens his children by reading.B．He helps his children find their interests.C．He fails to get his children out of fantasy.D．He prefers to read children’s books.When international aid is given, steps must be taken to ensure (确保)that the aid reaches the people for whom it is intended. The way to achieve this may not be simple. It is very difficult for a nation to give help directly to people in another nation.The United Nations Organization (UNO) could undertake to direct the distribution of aid. Here however rises the problem of costs. Also tied with this is time. Perhaps the UNO could set up a body of devoted men and women in every country who can speedily distribute aid to victims of floods and earthquakes.More than the help that one nation can give to another during a disaster; it would be more effective to give other forms of help during normal times. A common proverb says, “Give me a fish and I eat for day, teach me to fish and I eat for a lifetime.” If we follow this wise saying, it would be right to teach people from less developed nations to take care of themselves. For example, a country could share its technology with another. This could be in simple areas like agriculture or in more complex areas like medical and health care or even in building satellites. Even small country is able to help less developed nations. Sometimes what is take for granted, like the setting up of a water purification plant or the administration of a school, could be useful for countries which are looking about to solve common problems. It does not cost much to share such simple things. Exchange students could be attached for a number of months or years and learn the required craft while on the site. They can then take their knowledge back to their homelands and if necessary come back form time to time to clearbeing temporary or of it falling into the wrong hands.Many countries run extensive courses in all sorts of skills. It will not cost much to include deserving foreigners in these courses. Besides giving effective help to the countries concerned, there is also the build-up of friendships to consider. Giving direct help by giving materials may be effective in the short run and must continue to be given in the event of emergencies. However, in the long run what is really effective would be the sharing of knowledge.8．According to the author, how could international aid reach the victims in time?A．By solving the cost problemsB．By solving the transportation problemsC．By setting up a body of devoted people in every country.D．By relying on the direct distribution of the UNO.9．What does the author try to express in the underlined sentence?A．Providing food is vitalB．Learning to fish is helpfulC．Teaching skills is essentialD．Looking after others is important.10．Which aid is likely to fall into the wrong hands?A．A medical team.B．An exchange program.C．A water plant.D．Financial support.11．What can we infer about international aid from the passage?A．It is facing difficultiesB．It is unnecessary during normal timesC．It should be given in the form of materialsD．It has gained support developed countriesThe curb cut (路缘坡) is a convenience that most of us rarely, if ever, notice. Yet, without it, daily life might be a lot harder—in more ways than one.Pushing a baby stroller onto the curb, skateboarding onto a sidewalk or taking a full grocery cart from the sidewalk to your car—all these tasks are easier because of the curb cut.But it was created with a different purpose in mind.ended with a sharp drop-off. That was a big deal for people in wheelchairs because there were no ramps (斜坡) to help them move along city blocks without assistance. According to one disability rights leader, a six-inch curb “might as well have been Mount Everest” for wheelchair-bound people. So, activists from Berkeley, California, who also needed wheelchairs, organized a campaign to create tiny ramps at intersections to help disadvantaged people dependent on wheels move up and down curbs independently.I think about the “curb cut effect” a lot when working on issues around health equality. The first time I even heard about the curb cut was in a 2017 Stanford Social Innovation Review piece by PolicyLink CEO Angela Blackwell. Blackwell rightly noted that many people see equality as “a zero-sum game (零和游戏)”. Basically, there is a deeply rooted social belief among them that intentionally supporting one group hurts another. What the curb cut effect reveals though, Blackwell said is that “when society-creates the circumstances that allow those who have been left behind to participate and contribute fully, everyone wins.”One such example is closed captioning (字幕), originally intended to help deaf people understand movies and TV shows without needing to hear dialogue or sounds. But it’s easy to think of other applications for closed captioning: it’s convenient for customers watching TV in a noisy bar or gym, second-language learners who want to read as well as listen, or students who use it as a study aid.So, next time you cross the street, or roll your suitcase through a crosswalk or ride your bike directly onto a sidewalk—think about how much the curb cut, that change in design that broke down walls of exclusion for one group of people at a disadvantage, has helped not just that group, but all of us.12．What does the underlined quote imply concerning a six-inch curb?A．It is an unforgettable symbol.B．It is an impassable barrier.C．It is an important sign.D．It is an impressive landmark. 13．According to Angela Blackwell, what do many people believe?A．It’s not worthwhile to promote health equality.B．It’s necessary to go all out to help the disabled.C．It’s impossible to have everyone treated equally.D．It’s fair to give the disadvantaged more help than others.14．Which of the following examples best illustrates the “curb cut effect” principle?B．Reading machines for blind people help build the digital maps drivers use to navigate.C．Your reaching out to the disadvantaged contributes to more people doing it.D．A butterfly flapping its wings in one country leads to a Tornado in another country. 15．What is the main idea of the text?A．The curb cut is a convenient ramp designed to benefit the disabled.B．Everyone in a society should be treated equally.C．Supporting disadvantaged groups often ends up benefiting much larger ranges of society.D．How disability rights activists fought for equality that changed the life of hisfollowers.二、七选五But since the 1800s, human activities have been the main driver of climate change, primarily due to burning fossil fuels like coal, oil and gas. Climate change can cause extreme events like wildfires and floods. 17How does climate change make you feel? The news of melting glaciers and oil spills may seem overwhelming and can make you feel angry, frightened, hopeless or upset. This is called climate anxiety. 18 If you feel worried about what’s happening to the world, good for you. It’s normal to be upset when things you care about are getting hurt.19 There are lots of things you can do to help adults take better care of the world. Turn your fear into power by doing something. Breaking the problem into bite-sized chunks is a good way to start. Think of something you feel passionate about, such as protecting ocean life or saving forests, and join a community group or charity that supports that cause. Local charities like Plastic Free Coast organize beach cleans, and the Rainforest Team has lots of planet-saving ideas, such as reducing food waste.Positive action can inspire others too.

When they were unable to free the car from the mud, they began to worry. The park’s waterways are usually full of crocodiles (鳄鱼), and the couple had already seen plenty of crocodile tracks running through the mud. Not only that, they had only brought a few bottles of water and little food for the trip.Nulgit and Johnson tried to fall asleep in their car—but as the sun set and the nearby water levels began to rise, they feared that the high water would bring the crocodiles closer to their car. The young couple then moved towards dry land and hoped for rescue. They even used a piece of wood to write the word “HELP” into the mud along with a line pointing towards their car.Thankfully, the couple had told Nulgit’s parents where they were going and when they expected to be home before they left. So when they failed to return the very same night, his worried mother called the police. Rescuers began searching the area by airplane the next morning. Upon hearing the sound of the plane, the couple started a fire so the rescuers would see the smoke. As the plane drew closer to the smoke, the rescuers successfully located the couple after they caught sight of the “HELP” sign pointing towards the car.Nulgit and Johnson were very thankful for the rescue. They now plan on putting together a set of emergency survival tools for the car.4．Why did the young couple move to dry land?A．Because their car became stuck in some mud.B．Because they wanted to fall asleep in their car that night.C．Because they were afraid the crocodiles would come to their car.D．Because they only brought a few bottles of water and little food.5．What did Nulgit and Johnson do to save themselves?A．They wrote a sign for help.B．They went fishing for food.C．They started a fire for warmth.D．They called their parents for help. 6．When did Nulgit’s mother call the police?A．The evening when they should have arrived home.B．The moment their car became stuck in some mud.C．The minute she received their call for help.D．Upon hearing the sound of the plane.7．Which of the following is true?A．At the sight of the rescuers, the couple brought into tears.B．The couple successfully caught the rescuers’ attention by smoke.C．The rescuers began searching the area the moment they received the call.D．After being rescued, the couple bought some survival tools for car at once.The Nobel economics prize was awarded on Monday to Harvard University professor Claudia Goldin for research that has advanced the understanding of the gender (性别) gap in the labor market.The announcement went a tiny step to closing the Nobel committee’s own gender gap: Goldin is just the third woman to win the prize out of 93 economics laureates (获奖者). She has studied 200 years of women’s participation in the workplace, showing that despite continued economic growth, women’s pay did not continuously catch up to men’s and a divide still exists despite women gaining higher levels of education than men. “I’ve always been an optimist. But when I looked at the numbers, I found in the 1990s, our labor force participation rate for women was the highest in the world, and now it isn’t the highest in the world,” Goldin told The Associated Press.“Although Goldin’s research does not offer solutions, it allows policymakers to deal with the problem,” said Randi Hjalmarsson, a member of the Nobel committee. “She explains the source of the gap, and how it’s changed over time and how it changes with the stage of development. By finally understanding the problem and calling it by the right name, we will find a solution.”Goldin, 77, told AP that what happens in people’s homes reflects what happens in the workplace. Women often have to take jobs that allow them to be on call at home—work that often pays less.“Goldin tried to fill in missing data for her research,” Hjalmarsson said. For parts of history, systematic labor market records did not exist, and, if they did, information about women was missing. “So Goldin had to be a detective to find novel data sources and creative ways to use them to measure these unknowns.”8．What can we infer from the second paragraph?A．Men gained higher levels of education than women.B．The women’s pay caught up to men’s 200 hundreds years ago.C．Many women scientists have won the Nobel economics prize these years.D．At the late 20th century, American women labor force participation rate was the top. 9．Which of the following is right?A．Randi Hjalmarsson didn’t agree with Goldin.B．Most of the women usually prefer to be housewives.C．What happens in family life often mirrors that in the workplace.D．Goldin’s research offered the policymakers solutions to the problem.10．Which is a challenge that Claudia Goldin faced in her research?A．Lack of experience.B．Lack of support.C．Lack of money.D．Lack of data.11．What’s the best title of the passage?A．A Solution to the Gender Gap in the Labor MarketB．Claudia Goldin—a Great Economics Data DetectiveC．The Third Woman Who Wins the Nobel Prize in the WorldD．Nobel Economics Prize Goes to Harvard University Woman ProfessorPlaying tennis might add years to your life, according to a new study of Danish men and women. The study found that adults who frequently participate in tennis or other racket (球拍) and team sports lived longer than people who were spending a lot of time sitting down. They also lived longer than people who took part in activities such as jogging, swimming and cycling. The results raise interesting questions about the role that social interactions might play in enlarging the benefits of exercise.No one doubts that being physically active improves our health and can extend our longevity (寿命). But whether some activities might be better than others remains in argument. One widely publicized 2017 study of more than 80,000 British men and womenfound that those who played racket sports like tennis tended to outlive those who jogged.The researchers widened their inquiry and looked at a variety of sports and their associations with life. To start, they turned to the same data resource they had used for the jogging study, the Copenhagen City Heart Study. The study’s participants had all completed health exams and lengthy questionnaires about their lifestyles and whether and how often they took part in some sports common in Denmark, including cycling, swimming, running, tennis, soccer and, perhaps unexpectedly, badminton.According to the data, cycling added an average of 3.7 years to riders’ lives, compared to sedentary Danes. Running added 3.2 years while tennis 9.7 years. These associations remained unchanged even when the researchers controlled for people’s education, socioeconomic status and age.“Why and how some sports might add more years to people’s lives than others is impossible to know from this kind of observational study,” says Dr. James O’Keefe, a study co-author. “But we know that social support probably has unique effects on helping people get more benefits from the exercise.”For now, people who run or ride alone might consider finding a group or partner to work out together. “Raising your heart rate is important for health,” he says. “But it looks like connecting with other people is, too.”12．According to the passage, which activity may help people live longer?A．Cycling.B．Running marathon.C．Swimming.D．Playing badminton.13．What does the underlined word “sedentary” in the fourth paragraph mean?A．Inactive.B．Outgoing.C．Depressed.D．Easygoing. 14．Which may Dr. James O’Keefe recommend according to the last paragraph?A．Exercising alone.B．Working out together.C．Working out regularly.D．Raising one’s heart rate.15．It is suggested in the passage that ________.A．women who prefer team sports live longer than menB．people’s education and socioeconomic status affect their longevityC．the reason why some sports might add more years to people’s lives is still unknown D．80,000 Danish men and women participated in the survey二、七选五The act of spending time in the forest is called shinrin-yoku, meaning bathing in the forest atmosphere. It is not exercise or hiking or jogging. It is being in nature and connectingand help with depression. Follow the tips below to experience forest bathing.Find a place where you’re surrounded by trees.The ideal place to have a forest bath is in the forest. But if you live far away from one or don’t have the means to get there, any place that has a lot of trees and quiet spaces will do. You can even get beneficial effects from a city park. 17Set aside a large amount of time.To get the final rewards of shinrin-yoku, plan to spend two to six hours in the woods.18 If you can’t set aside a good part of your day to wander through the forest, you can also do shorter walks. Anyway, the longer the time in the forest, the better.19The difference between normal activities and forest bathing is that we’re going to move very slowly. Forest bathing is about calming down your nervous system and reducing your heart rate and blood pressure. If you work too hard physically, your tiredness will reduce the effect of forest bathing.Quite often, when we are bathed in the forest, it sends something back to help us make sense of what’s going on in our life. 20 You may be surprised by what you discover.A．Aim to reduce heart rate.B．Enjoy sweating in forest bathing.C．Forest bathing for about that amount of time helps improve immunity.D．But the health benefits will not be great if you don’t stay there longer.E．Now, find a spot in the forest or the park and breathe in the smell of nature.F．Not only is forest bathing a way to explore nature, it’s also good for your health.G．However, the health benefits won’t be as obvious as walking in the deep woods.三、完形填空After Mia, Colin and Laurent were diagnosed (诊断) with RP, a genetic disease thatwould gradually rob them of their 21 , an idea of a year-long trip was born.For the children’s parents, Edith and Sebastien, the diagnoses came as a 22 . “So far, there is no cure,” said the doctor. “Everything has to change,” Edith said 23 .

They called the club the Old Kinderhook Club，and anyone who supported Van Buren was called“OK”．31．The authorA. believes both of the stories B．doesn’t beli eve a word of the storiesC．is not sure whether the stories are true D. is telling the stories just for fun32.According to the passage，President JacksonA．couldn’t draw up any documents at all B. wasn’t good at reading，writing or spellingC．often had his assistants sign documents for him D . didn’t like to read important papers by himself33．According to the first story, the term “OK”A. was first used by President JacksonB．was the title of some Official documentsC．was approved of by President JacksonD．was an old way to spell“all correct’’34 .According to the second story，the term‘‘OK”A．was the short way to say‘‘old Kinderhook Club”B．meant the place where President Van Buren was bornC．was the name of Van Bure n’s clubD．was used to call Van Buren’s supporters in the electionBMost of us know about the Nobel Prize, especially the Nobel Peace Prize, but few of us know anything about the man who set them up. His name was Alfred Nobel. He was a great scientist and inventor himself. Besides, he had a big business. His business may surprise you. He made and sold explosives. His companies even made and sold weapons. Isn’t this something that surprises you? The man who made money from weapons should set up the Peace Prize?Though Alfred Nobel had a lot of money from weapons, he hated war. He hoped that there would be no war in the world. He was one of the richest in Europe. When he died in 1896, he left behind him a lot of money and his famous will. According to his will, most of his money was placed in a fund. He wanted the interest from the fund to be used as prizes every year. We know them as the Nobel Prizes. The Nobel Prizes are international. Alfred Nobel wanted the winners to be chosen for their work, not the country they came from.Alfred Nobel had given his whole life to his studies and work and to the b enefits of mankind. He made money all by his own efforts, but he left the world share his wealth. His inventions and wealth stay with the world for ever.35. Alfred’s business was _____.A. not making and selling weaponsB. making and selling explosivesC. making explosives and selling weaponsD. making weapons and selling explosives36. Nobel wanted to set up the Nobel Peace Prize because _____.A. he hated warB. he made enough moneyC. he wanted to get more interest from the fundD. he liked to live in a peaceful world37. Nobel Prizes come from _____.A. all Nobel’s money in the fundB. all Nobel’s money in his companyC. some of the interest in the fundD. all the interest from the fund38. Which statement of the following is Right according to the passage?A. Nobel set up his company to sell clothes.B. Most of Nobel’s money was used for the wo rld Wars.C. Nobel Prizes are only for some people from some special countries.D. Nobel worked hard in his life and saved lots of money for the world toshare.CTrees are useful to man in three very important ways：they provide him wood and other products；they give him shade；and they help to prevent drought(干旱)and floods．Unfortunately，in many parts of the world，man has not realized that the third of these services is the most important．In his eagerness to draw quick profit from the trees，he has cut them down in large numbersTwo thousand years ago，a rich and powerful country cut down its trees to build warships，with which to gain itself an empire. It gained the empire but，without its trees，its soil became bare and poor．When the empire fell to pieces，the country found itself faced by floods and starvation．Even where a government realizes the importance of a plentiful supply of trees，it is difficult sometimes to make the people realize this．They cut down the treesbut are too careless to plant and look after new trees. So unless the government has a good system of control，or can educate the people，the forests slowly disappear.This does not only mean that there will be fewer trees．The results are even more serious：for where there are trees，their roots break the soil up，allowing the rain to sink in，and also bind the soil．This prevents the soil from being washed away．But where there are no trees，the rainfalls on hard ground and flows away on the surface，and this causes floods and the rain carries away the rich topsoil in which crops grow. When a11 the topsoil is gone,nothing remains but worthless desert．39．Trees are useful to man mainly in three ways，the most important of which is that they can ____A. keep him from the hot sunshine B．protect him from droughts and floodsC．make him draw quick profit from them D . enable him to build warships 40．It’s a great pity that ____A．man hasn’t realized the importance of trees to himB．man is eager to profit from treesC．man is only interested in building empiresD. man hasn’t found out that he has lost all trees41．Sooner or later the forests will disappear ______．A. unless a country has a plenty supply of treesB．unless people stop cutting down their treesC．unless the government punishes those who cut trees instead of planting them D．unless aIl people are taught the importance of planting trees42．The word“bind”in Paragraph 5 means“_____”A．to wash awayB．to make stay togetherC．to make wetD．to improveDWe can make mistakes at any age．Some mistakes we make are about money．But most mistakes are about people．“Did Jerry really care when I broke up with Helen?…‘WhenI got that great job，did Jerry really feel good about it，as a friend? Or did he envy my luc k?” When we look back,doubts like these can make us feel bad．But when we look back,i t’s too lateWhy do we go wrong about our friends-or our enemies? Sometimes what people say hides their real meaning．And if we don’t really listen，we miss the feeling behind the words．Suppose someone tells you．‘‘you’re a lucky dog”．Is he really on your side? if he says．“You’re a lucky guy” or “You’re a lucky gal”．That’s being friendly．But “lucky dog”? There’s a bit of envy in those words. Maybe he doesn’t see it himself．But bringing in the ‘‘dog” bit puts you down a little．What he may be saying is that he doesn’t think you deserve your luck．How can you tell the real meaning behind someone’s words? One way is to take a good look at the person talking．Do his words fit the way he looks? Does what he says square with the tone of voice? His posture(体态)?The look in his eyes? Stop and think．The minute you spend thinking about the real meaning of what people say to you may save another mistake.43．This passage tries to tell you how to ______A．avoid mistakes about money and friendsB．avoid mistakes in understanding what people tell youC．bring the“dog’’bit into our conversationD keep people friendly without trusting them44．In listening to a person,the important thing is ______A. to notice his tone，his posture，and the look in his eyesB. to listen to how he pronounces his wordsC. not to believe what he saysD. to check his words against his manner，his tone of voice，and his posture45．If you followed the advice of the writer，you would ______A. not lose real friends who say things that do not please youB. avoid any mistakes while talking with people who envy youC. be able to get the real meaning of what people say to youD. be able to observe people as they are talking to you其次节（共5题，每小题2分，满分10分）依据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。

It’s between a man, a woman and a volcano. Well, all of them are volcanoes.Their names might not be especially well-known today, but in the 1970s and ‘80s, French scientists Katia Krafft and Maurice Krafft were very famous for their photographs and writings about the volcanoes. When they died in 1991 on Mount Unzen in Japan, their deaths were covered globally. But their story has somewhat faded in the public memory in the past three decades? though Werner Herzog did spotlight them in his 2016 documentary Into the Inferno.The Kraffts? who first bonded over Mount Etna and Mount Stromboli and were married in 1970, witnessed about 140 eruptions on every continent except Antarctica and won an Emmy for their National Geographic documentary Mountains of Fire. They would famously drop everything to get to an active volcano, and were often the first on site. They were also known for their willingness to get dangerously close.Filmmaker Sara Dosa once met the Kraffts while making an earlier film about Iceland many years ago. In 2020, with the help of Image’ Est, a French museum, and Maurice Krafft’s brother, Bertrand Krafft, Dosa and her team were able to get access to over 180 hours of footage shot by the Kraffts. So Dosa decided to make something about the Kraffts in the true spirit of the Kraffts.“We wanted to let them play themselves. We see them as the authors of their own story,“ Dosa said. ”This is a co-creation, shot by them and starring them. We’re just stringingtogether the pieces of their life for the audience to connect with.”However, Fire of Love is anything but a filmed Wikipedia(维基百科)page. Dosa and her team have drawn on the techniques of French New Wave films to help shape the style of their film, including playful multiple screens.4．Where did Katia Krafft and Maurice Krafft pass away?A．On Mount Etna.B．On Mount Stromboli.C．On Mount Unzen.D．On Mount Krakatoa.5．Why were the Kraffts considered as volcanoes?A．They were enthusiastic about studying volcanoes.B．They were well-known for their short-lived marriage.C．Their deaths were related to the biggest volcano.D．Their love story appeared in many volcano books.6．Who directed the film Fire of Love?A．Bertrand Krafft.B．Sara Dosa.C．Werner Herzog.D．Katia Krafft. 7．What is the text?A．A love story.B．A biography.C．A documentary.D．A film review.Just as our bodies produce waste every day—which is why we need to shower and use the toilet —our brains produce harmful waste proteins. But how can our brains “shower” themselves?A 2013 study found the answer. Researchers at the US University of Rochester studied the brains of mice and discovered that they cleaned themselves while the mice slept. A kind of fluid in the brain, called cerebral spinal fluid (CSF 脑髓液), was found to increase dramatically during sleep, washing away waste proteins that had been building up between brain cells in waking hours.“This study shows that the brain has different functional states when asleep and when awake,” Maiken Nedergaard, the lead researcher, told NBC News. It also explains why we can’t think clearly after a sleepless night while a good night’s sleep leave s us feeling sharp and refreshed.Now a new study, published on October 31 in Science, digs a little deeper into our brains’ self-cleaning procedure. Instead of mice, this time humans were the test subjects.Researchers at Boston University, US, monitored the brain waves of 13 healthy adultswho were sleeping, using accelerated FMRI, which is capable of recording faster changes inside the brain than a regular FMRI machine. They found that every 20 seconds, blood flowed out of the brain, making room for a large amount of CSF to come in and “clean”. This cycle coincided (巧合) with the rhythm of the brains’ slow waves — an electrical activity that happens when we’re in deep sleep.It’s still unknown how these brain activities are connected. But the me re fact that they are connected is exciting enough, since it allows researchers to piece together possible new explanations for misunderstood diseases.For example, slow-wave sleep has been proven to play a role in strengthening our memories. This may explain why people with Alzheimer (阿尔兹海默症) often have fewer and weaker slow brainwaves. Based on this new study, there could be one more explanation for diseased brains: They are not clean.Nedergaard, leader of the 2013 study, is also excited about the new findings. “Maybe the most important take-home message is that sleep is a serious thing,” she told Scientific American. “You really need to sleep to keep a healthy brain because it links electrical activity to a practical housekeeping ‘function’.”8．Why is the body waste mentioned at the beginning of the passage?A．To show the similarity between body and brain.B．To explain the main components of brain waste.C．To introduce the topic of passage through comparison.D．To remind us of the necessity of regular body cleaning.9．What can we learn from the passage?A．Slow brainwaves are caused by the brain cleaning process.B．The diseased brains break down for not cleaning themselves.C．Sleep is the most important factor for improving our memory.D．Slow brainwaves and brain cleaning occur with identical frequency (频率). 10．Why are the findings of the new study important?A．They are based on more advanced technology.B．They give us new insight into some brain diseases.C．They confirm the connection between brain activities.D．They reveal the process of brains cleaning themselves.11．What is the passage mainly about?A．The self-cleaning function of human brains.B．The importance of sleep at night for humans.C．The cause and possible cures of diseased human brains.D．The different states of human brains at daytime and night.Be it sugar or social media, the response in our brain is the same: It produces a “feel-good” chemical called dopamine. It first brings about pleasure, but it doesn’t last very long. It is then followed by pain so that we have to search for the pleasurable things again.“This cycle of pleasure and pain made sense in the time of early humans when we had to constantly search for our basic needs-food, water, shelter,” says Dr. Anna Lembke, a Stanford Medical School researcher. “But our brains weren’t adjusted to put out the ‘fire of dopamine’caused by pleasurable things that are so easily available in modern life.”In addition, when we’re repeatedly exposed to pleasure-producing things, we’re not able to take joy in the same rewards. Instead, we need stronger and stronger stimulus (刺激) just to feel good. Otherwise, the cycle will lead us to anxiety, depression and many other problems.“This is a universal problem—not one limited to those struggling with the disease of addiction. If we want to stay mentally healthy, we must rethink how to break the cycle in a dopamine-overloaded world,” says Lembke.Her suggestions for the addicts?Take a 30-day break from anything that we rely on for pleasure. This doesn’t mean going cold turkey forever. But this first month is key to breaking the pleasure-pain cycle and it’s a lot easier to cut out an addictive behavior entirely at first. Then re-introduce the pleasurable things little by little, like just a few bites of ice cream at a time or just one hour online a night.Another strategy is to create physical distance between us and our addiction. That could mean just removing the addictive thing from our personal space. For someone who’s addicted to video games, that could mean a separate laptop for work and one for play.“In a time of abundance, we have to strike a pleasure-pain balance, which means intentionally avoiding pleasure and seeking the kind of purposeful pain that keeps us healthy, such as exercise,” Lembke says. “By doing so, we will reset reward pathways and eventually be a lot happier. It’s not easy, but it’s well worth doing in the long term.”12．What can we learn about dopamine from the text?A．It has always been harmful to humans.B．It gives us less joy for the same rewards.C．It can be caused by anything available.D．It can lead to a lasting good feeling.13．What do the underlined words “going cold turkey” probably mean?A．Abandoning.B．Waiting.C．Cooking.D．Repeating. 14．What does Dr. Anna Lembke suggest we do in the long term?A．Avoid pleasure in life.B．Set a strict limit on pleasurable things.C．Change reward pathways.D．Expose ourselves to repeated rewards.15．Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?A．Ways to Live With Dopamine in PeaceB．Tips on Getting Rid of Social Media AddictionC．Strategies for Making Most of the Modern LifeD．The Need to Strike a Pleasure-pain BalanceHere are five common mistakes distance learners make.Choosing the wrong school. 16 “Diploma mill” schools charge unsuspecting students thousands of dollars for worthless degrees, whereas trustworthy schools are able to give their students diploma they are proud of. Before you enroll in an online school, do some research to find out what type of program, resource and support will be provided.Putting off things. Many students never finish their degrees because they lack the self-discipline and motivation to sit down and get their work done on a daily basis. 17 Many students have found it beneficial to create a deadline for receiving their degrees and set small monthly, weekly, and daily goals that will allow them to reach that deadline.Failing to connect with their peers and professors. 18 Building meaningful relationships with your peers and professors can allow you to learn more, stay motivated, and have a way to express your own understanding of the subject matter. So stay connected through message boards, chat rooms, email, and other virtual resources.Scaring potential employers. More and more people are recognizing the validity (有效性) of online education. 19 Some potential employers may see warning signs if you announce that you have earned your degree through the Internet. Even if you attend a famousschool, avoid calling attention to the fact that your studies are done online.20 There’s a lot of online material available to help out students. Make sure you know where you can get the help you need. Be aware of the general resources such as virtual dictionaries, online books, and resources that relate to your specialized subject matter.A．Paying too much.B．Paying no attention to online resources.C．However, be aware that it is not completely accepted by all people.D．Many students attend an online course feeling as if it is very easy.E．Selecting the right school is the biggest difficulty that distance learners face.F．If you often put off your work, set some specific goals for yourself and stick to them.G．One of the most rewarding experiences in education is learning through teamwork.二、完形填空of graduating from elementary school as a valedictorian (毕业生代表).

AWhen I was about 12, I had an enemy, a girl who liked to point out my shortcomings(缺点). Wee k by week her list grew: I was very thin, I wasn’t a good student, I talked too much, I was too proud, and so on. I tried to hear all this as long as I could. At last, I became very angry. I ran to my father with tears in my eyes.He listened to me quietly, then he as ked. “Are the things she says true or not? Janet, didn’t you ever wonder what you’re really like ? Well, you now have that girl’s opinion. Go and make a list of everything she said and mark the points that are true. Pay no attention to the other things she said.”I did as he told me. To my great surprise, I discovered that about half the things were true. Some of them I couldn’t change (like being very thin), but a good number I c ould—and suddenly I wanted to change. For the first time I go to fairly clear picture of myself.I brought the list back to Daddy. He refused to take it.“That’s just for you,” he said.“You know better than anyone else the truth about yours elf. But you have to learn to listen, not just close your ears in anger and feeling hurt. When something said about you is true, you’ll find it will be of help to you. Our world is full of people who think they know your duty. Don’t shut your ears. Listen to them all, but hear the truth and do what you know is the right thing to do.”Daddy’s advice has returned to me at many important moments. In my life, I’ve never had a better piece ofadvice.21. What did the father do after he had heard his daughter’s complaint?A. He told her not to pay any attention to what her “enemy” had said.B. He criticized (批评) her and told her to overcome her shortcomings.C. He told her to write down all that her “enemy” had said about her and pay attention only to the things that were true.D. He refused to take the list and have a look at it.22. What does “Week by week her list grew” mean?A. Week by week she discovered more shortcomings of mine and pointed them out to me.B. She had made a list of my shortcomings and she kept on adding new ones to it so that it was growing longer and longer.C. I was having more and more shortcomings as time went on.D. Week by week, my shortcomings grew more serious.23. Why did her father listen to her quietly?A. Because he believed that what her daughter’s “enemy” said was mostly true.B. Because he had been so angry with his daughter’s shortcomings that he wanted to show this by keeping silent for a while.C. Because he knew that his daughter would not listen to him at that moment.D. Because he wasn’t quite sur e which girl was telling the truth.24. Which do you think would be the best title for this passage?A. Not an Enemy, but the Best FriendB. The Best Advice I’v e Ever HadC. My FatherD. My ChildhoodBKing's College Summer SchoolKing's College Summer School is an annual training program for high school students at all levels who want to improve their English. Courses are given by the teachers of King's College and other colleges in New York. Trips to museums and culture centers are also organized.

The program will last two months.B. You can write to Thompson only in English.C. As a Chinese student, you can send your application on July 14, 2007.D. You can get in touch with the school by e-mail or by telephone.CIn choosing a friend, one should be very careful. A good friend can help you study. You can have fun together and make each other happy. Sometimes you will meet fair-weather friends. They will be with you as long as you have money or luck, but when you are down, they will run away. How do I know when I have found a good friend? I look for certain qualities of character, especially understanding, honesty and reliability (可靠). Above all else, I look for understanding in a friend. A good friend tries to understand how another person is feeling. He is not quick to judge. Instead, he tries to learn from others. He puts himself in the other person's place, and he tries to think of ways to be helpful. He is also a good listener. At the same time, however, a good friend is honest. He does not look for faults in others. He notices their good point s. In short, a friend will try to understand me and accept me. Another quality of a friend is reliability. I can always depend on a good friend. If he tells me he will meet me somewhere at a certain time, I can be sure that he will be there. If I need a favor, he will do his best to help me. If I am in trouble, he will not run away from me. There is a fourth quality that makes a friend special. A special friend is someone with whom we can have fun. We should enjoy our lives, and we would enjoy our friendship. That is why I especially like friends who are fun to be with. A good friend likes the same things I like. We share experience and learn from each other. A good friend has a good sense of humor, too. He likes to laugh with me. That is how we share in the joy of being friends. And I know that he is looking for the same quality in me. When I meet someone who is reliable, honest, and understanding, I know I've found a friend!28.Which of the following qualities the writer thinks is the most important in choosinga friend?_______.A. understanding.B. honestyC. reliabilityD. a sense of humor29.If you have fair-weather friends,______.A. they will give you all that they have when you need help.B. you will be refused when you get into trouble.C. you will become rich.D. you can be sure that you get real friends.30.
