Along with more than 300 other seniors, I marched into the stadium on the afternoon of May 10. The audience burst into deafening cheers. The huge stadium shook with all the whistling and clapping.It was as if a Hollywood superstar had walked on stage. And indeed, every single senior that day was a star of the moment. Each deserved it. The seniors had been preparing for four years for this once-in-a-lifetime moment—the commencement.Seated, I waited anxiously for the opening address. As a foreign exchange student, I was not able to receive a diploma. However, I still had the wonderful feeling of being part of things. Like the other graduates, I was dressed in marron cap and gown(方帽长袍).Our principal, Mr. Glover, delivered a short, warm greeting. The US national anthem followed and then, hands on chests, a solemn Pledge of Allegiance(对美国的忠孝宣誓).Students who had excelled academically gave farewell speeches. The tears in some eyes convinced me that many had deep feelings about the occasion. It was as the class motto says, “Life brings us tears, smiles and memories. The tears dry; the smiles fade; but the memories last forever.”Then came the core (核心) of the commencement. Hundreds of names were announced. Each graduate walked across the stage to receive his or her diploma from the principal. From the different cheers each graduate got, we had the funny sense that it was a kind of competition of who could cheer the loudest.To be honest, the presentation of diplomas got boring. A girl sitting next to me even started yawning. But it wasn‟t boring for those receiving the diploma: they would treasure the moment the principal placed the sacred brown document in their hands for the rest of their lives.A new page in the book of that person‟s life had turned. They were glimpsing their futures: futures of challenge, hardship, perhaps loneliness too, which would take all of their courage.62. What‟s the article mainly about?A. An Am erican high school‟s graduation ceremony.B. The opening ceremony of a sports meeting.C. A presentation of college diplomas.D. A US college‟s farewell party.63. Which of the following statements about the author is FALSE?A. She was one of the graduates.B. She was a foreign exchange student.C. She was excited to receive her diploma.D. She felt it great to be at the ceremony.64. The right order of the following events is_____________.a. Diplomas were presented to graduates.b. Students gave farewell speeches.c. The US national anthem was played. d. The principal gave a short, warm speech.e. Seniors went into the stadium.A. b,c,a,d,eB. c,d,b,e,aC. d,b,e,a,cD. e,d,c,b,a65. From the text, we can conclude that_______.A. a diploma ensures a good jobB. a diploma guarantees a bright futureC. the commencement symbolizes the beginning of a new stage in lifeD. everyone felt excited at the presentation of the diplomaDSome people seem easy to understand: their personality appears obvious on first meeting. Appearances, however, can cheat you. For thirty years I have been studying people around me. I don‟t know very much about them. I just shake my head when people tell me that their first impressions of a person are always right. I think they must have small insight or great pride. For my own part I find that the longer I know people, the more they puzzle me.I read in this morning‟s paper that Edward Hyde Burton had died. He was a merchant and he had been in business in Japan for many years. Once he gave me a great surprise. Unless I had heard the story from his own lips, I‟d never have believed that he could take s uch an action. He was always neatly and quietly dressed in accordance with his age and position. He didn‟t talk much, but what he said was wise. You couldn‟t imagine he‟d raise his voice in anger. Here was a man who attracted you because you felt in him a real love for people around him. He‟d tell with point a good and spicy story, and in his youth he‟d been something of an athlete. He was a rich man and he‟d made every penny himself. I suppose one thing that made you like him was that he was so weak. You f elt he couldn‟t bear to hurt a fly.One afternoon Burton told me a “funny” story in a quiet, dry humour:“There was a man sharing the same name as mine, who was the best bridge player I ever met. He seemed to have a good sense about the cards. I used to play with him a lot.”“He was handsome in a way with curly hair and pink-and-white cheeks. Women thought a lot of him. There was no harm in him, he was only wild. Of course he drank too much. He won a good deal of my money by card-playing.”“One day he ca me to me when he went broke. He came to see me in my office and asked me for a job. I asked him how old he was.“…Thirty-five‟, he said.”“…And what have you been doing up till now?‟ I asked him.“…Well, nothing very much,‟ he said.“…I'm afraid I can‟t do anything for you just yet,‟ I said. …Come back and see me in another thirty-five years, and I‟ll see what I can do.‟“He didn‟t move. He went rather pale. He was silent for a moment and then he told me that he had had bad luck at cards for some time. He hadn‟t been willing to stick to bridge, he'd been playing poker, and he hadn't a penny. He‟d sold out everything he had. He couldn't pay his hotel bill and they wouldn‟t believe him any more. He was down and out. If he couldn‟t get something to do he‟d have to kill himself.“I looked at him for a bit. I could see now that he was all to pieces. He‟d been drinking more than usual and he looked fifty. The girls wouldn't have thought so much of him if they‟d seen him then.“Suddenly I had an idea.” Pausing in his story, Burton turned to me. “When I was young I swam over three miles round the beacon（灯塔）and landed at the river of Tarumi. It‟s rather difficult because of the quick waves round the beacon. Well, I told my young fellow about it and I said that i f he‟d do it I‟d give him a job.“I could see he was rather surprised. He was not in good condition for sports. He looked at me for a moment and then he agreed.”“I told him I‟d drive round to the river at half past twelve and meet him.“Done,” he said.“I wished him good luck and he left me. I had a lot of work to do that morning and I only just managed to the riverside at Tarumi at half past twelve. But I needn't have hurried; he never turned up.“Did he break his promise at the last moment?” I asked.“No, he didn't. He started all right. But of course he‟d ruined his health by drink. The waves round the beacon were more than he could manage. We didn‟t get the body for about three days.I didn‟t say anything for a moment or two. I was shocked. Then I ask ed.“When you made him that offer of a job, did you know he‟d be drowned?‟He looked at me with his kind blue eyes, smiling. “Well, I hadn‟t got a vacancy（空缺职位）in my office at the moment.‟68. For some time, Edward Burton impressed（印象）the author most with his .A. age and positionB. wealth and abilityC. sensibility and humorD. kindness and weakness69. The underlined words “he was all to pieces” may mean.A. he was mad and wildB. he was completely downC. he was sick and dirtyD. he was totally drunk70. We can infer from Burton‟s story that the young man .A. never saw through his trickB. annoyed him by playing cardsC. could not do any job wellD. intended to cheat him with a lie五、任务型阅读（10分）Studying AbroadDay after day you are glued to your computer screen. You cannot get enough of online games, net shopping or cyber surfing. Your social life gets worse, and so does your health. Chances are that you are addicted to the Internet and you need counseling(劝告，建议).On November 8, an Internet Addiction Disorder (IAD) diagnostic manual（诊断手册）was approved by a group of psychologists in China, who agreed that Internet addiction is a mental disease. According to a report on , the manual for the first time gives a clear time standard for diagnosing IAD, saying that surfing the Internet for more than six hours a day, not for the purpose of studying or working, and having done so for less than three months, might be a symptom of IAD.Addiction symptoms vary（不同）Besides the long online time, some other symptoms would also help doctors diagnose IAD patients, such as having a strong desire for the Internet and feeling physical discomfort, becoming easily angry, being unable to concentrate on things or finding it difficult to sleep if unable to get online.Apart from these conditions, other symptoms are also listed in the manual. If a net surfer cannot get out of the virtual(虚拟的) world of Web games, which has already affected his/her capability to study or work, or he/she feels little interest in doing anything but jumping online or is afraid to communicate with others, he/she is also considered to be an IAD sufferer.According to the World Health Organization, mental disease sufferers have two major characteristics: they bring suffering to both themselves and their families, and their abilities to be involved in social activities are affected.Mental illness stigma（污名）However, it has resulted in a backlash（反对）from the public, due to the fact that mental disease is a very sensitive term to Chinese.Many netizens dropped comments expressing their doubts about the manual, saying that they could not accept they might be suffering from mental illness just because they spent too much time on the Internet.Exper ts said there is a misunderstanding of the manual. Explaining that IAD sufferers are not “crazy people”, they call on society at large to change their understanding of mental disease. Mental disease covers a76.77. A witness (大概地，粗略地) described the accident, so many important details were not covered.78. She is (热情) about the new teaching method.79. Thanks to your help, we accomplished the task ahead of (计划)。

Along with a smartphone and an accompanying app, these trackers can report how many calories you've burned and the distanceyou've traveled. Still curious about yourself? You can also learn the number of stairs you've climbed and steps you've taken, metrics〔度量〕it had neveroccurred to me to wonder about．Not one to resist peer pressure, however, I paid $100for a Fitbit Flex. I chose that brand on the basis of research: asking my friend Sari which tracker she used．The Fitbit website offered instructions on setting up my new tracker. I entered my height and gender(性别) and certain information I considered none of its business:birth date and weight. Then I established goals. The American Heart Associationrecommends that we all walk 10,000steps a day-about five miles, and so does Fitbit. I decided 6,000steps was a good place for me to start．I changed my tune when, on day one, I hit 6，000steps and tiny LED lights flashed on my wristband. Confident enough now, I went back to my phone and upped my goal to 8,000steps. So I got a little obsessed(着迷). On day five at a department store, Idecided to check my progress. My target number was just 275steps away! I walked around the dress department watching my smartphone register each step I took. I hate to tell you how much pleasure this gave me．Now I always wear my tracker，not because I've grown to love fitness but because I like being trendy and self-absorbed. Last night I was leaving a restaurant when Fitbit emailed to congratulate me on walking more than10,000steps. Who wouldn't love a tool that turns your every footstep into an accomplishment？24.W hy do people wear fitness trackers while running？A.To measure their blood pressure．B.To tell them the right direction．C.To report the amount of exercise．D.To email information to others．25.The underlined part"none of its business"in Paragraph 3probably means ．A.necessaryB.unimportantC. pricelessD. ridiculous26.The author started from 6,000steps because ．A.it is the suggestion from Fitbit Flex.B.it is the best choice for beginners.C.the author wasn't confident at first.D.the friend Sadri asked the author to do so.27.What does the author think of the experience of using the tracker？A.Thrilling and dangerous.B.Painful and unbearable.C.Boring and uncomfortable.D.Joyful and encouraging．CClothing rental (租赁) is a hot new industry and businessmen are trying their bestto attract shoppers. This past summer alone, Urban Outfitters, Macy’s, Bloomingdale’s,and American Eagle have all announced rental subscription services — a sure sign of changing times.But is renting fashion actually more environmentally-friendly than buying it, and if so, how much more? Journalist and author Elizabeth Cline researched this question in an article for Elle, and she concluded that it’s not as green as it seems.Take shipping, for example, which has to go two ways if an item is rented —receiving and returning. Cline writes that consumer transportation has the second largest footprint of our fashion habit after producing.She writes, “An item ordered online and then returned can send out 20 kilograms of carbon each way, and increases to 50 kilograms for rush shipping. However, thecarbon effect of a pair of jeans bought in a store and washed and worn at home is 33.4 kilograms, according to a 2021 study.〞Then there’s the burden of washing, which has to happen for every item when it’s returned, regardless of whether or not it was worn. For most rental services, this usually means dry-cleaning is a high-effect and polluting process, which can produce dangerous waste and air pollution if not dealt with correctly.Lastly, Cline fears that rental services will increase our, desire for fast fashion, simply because it’s so easy to get. There’s something called‘share-washing’ that leads to more wasteful behaviors mainly because a product or service is shared and thus is regarded as more eco-friendly. Uber is one example of this, advertised as “a way to share rides and limit car ownership,〞 and yet “it has been proven to discourage walking, bicycling, and public transportation use.〞Renting clothes is still preferable to buying them cheap and throwing them in the waste after a few wears, but we shouldn’t let the convenience of these services make us satisfied. There’s an even better step—and that’s wearing what is already in the closet .28.How much carbon will be produced when an item is normally ordered online and then returned?A.10 kilograms.B. 20 kilograms.C. 40 kilograms.D. 50 kilograms.29.What does Elizabeth Cline think of clothing rental?A.It is considered fashioned.B. It is popular to young people.C. It can reduce transport burden.D. It can leave large carbon footprint.30.The example of Uber is used to show the rental services .A.cause more wasteful behaviorsB.satisfy our desire for fashionC.help protect the environmentD.replace the public transport31.What does the author actually want to express in the last paragraph?A.The request for throwing cheap clothes.B.The advice on wearing what we own.C.The disadvantage of clothing rental.D.The call for renting clothes.DIt’s a safe bet that a robot made your car and made your computer. Pretty soon, they could be making your bed and breakfast too.Increasingly, engineers are saying that robots are going to move out of research departments and into your home. Companies including General Electric are workingon designs for small robots. Products like the Roomba, a robot that can clean floors, are flying off the shelves.What’s behind this new robot revolution? It’s partly a matter of technology. Devices that can recognize and respond to a human voice have been developed. There are now a few different ways for robots to move around. They can walk, crawl or ride on wheels. Robots are being made smaller and smaller. They are also becoming more and more able.A bigger part of the story is on the demand side. From the day thetelevision remote control was invented, people around the world have searchedfor new ways to be lazy. Take into consideration that more and more people can afford robots, and the time seems ripe to introduce robots to the ordinaryfamily.To be sure, robots that walk on two legs and talk like people are still along way off. However, robots that do basic housework such as cleaning or gardening are sure to come out soon. One thing is certain — when these robotsdo come into our homes, will change things forever.32.The underlined part “flying off the shelves〞 in the second paragraph means.A.selling wellB. cleaning the shelves smartlyC. flying freelyD. dropping onto the floor33.What can Roomba do?A.Making beds and breakfast.B. Making cars and computers.C. Cleaning floors.D. Looking after kids and pets.34.Which plays a more important role in revolutionizing the robot?A.Science and technology.B. Rapid development of companies.C. Effective marketing means.D. Great demand from the buyers.35.Which of the following statements is TRUE?A.Robots have already come into every home.B.Technology is the only basis of the development of robots.C.General Electric is not interested in designing small robots.D.Robots that can walk on two legs and talk like people are still far from us. 第二节〔一共 5 小题；每一小题 2 分，满分是 10 分〕根据短文内容，从短文后的选项里面选出能填入空白处的最正确选项。

高一英语限时训练五一、阅读理解Andy Kong has worked very hard to get to where he is today. He credits becoming a millionaire by 20 to his strict Asian parents who tutored him at a young age by working for the family.Kong, of Danville, Virginia, started working when he was only nine. English wasn’t a strong suit for Andy’s parents, and that’s where he was able to assist his family the most. After school and on weekends he would help out at their family-owned restaurant and nail salons. Not only did he do the labor work, but he was also involved in creating online ads. This was his introduction to the world of online business.Andy started his Amazon business in the eighth grade, when he learned about Amazon. Dropshipping (代发货模式) from a kid he saw on Instagram, he got inspired and decided to give it a try. Unfortunately, the store eventually got shut down because he was impatient with the growth. Instead of considering it a failure, he viewed this experience as a life lesson and learned from his mistakes. Meanwhile, his parents never stopped trying to talk him into focusing on school and their retail business.“The biggest challenge when starting a business is getting someone to believe in you,” Andy says. He pushed through and did things for himself even when his loved ones discouraged it.In 2019, Andy met his now business partners, and together, they created an Amazon management company called Project WiFi. This Project has proven to be extremely successful. They currently help over 55 clients run their online businesses, and plan to help many more in the future.When asked about the secret to his success, Andy says, “Learning to sacrifice whether that’s family, friends, or soccer game for a single goal is the only way to succeed, rather than attempting multiple things. If it’s worth doing then it’s worth doing well with no shortcuts.”1. Why did Andy work in his parents’ shops at a young age?A. Because he could earn some pocket money.B. Because his parents weren’t fluent in English.C. Because his parents could help with his study.D. Because he could get access to the Internet.2. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?A. A new online business model.B. Results of working impatiently.C. Difficulties in Andy’s career.D. Andy’s tense family relationship.3. What does Andy think contributes to his success?A. His early working experiences.B. Lessons learned from his failures.C. Gaining other people’s trust.D. Focusing on one thing at a time.4. Which of the following can best describe Andy Kong’s personality?A. Committed and generous.B. Motivated and open-minded.C. Creative and faithful.D. Hard-working and sociable.二、用单词的适当形式完成短文阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（1个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。

Associated with B. decorated with C. thought to D. took to二、阅读理解A“Only in a few years you’ll be an adult!” This statement is usually by adults with a wink at my mother. I usually take “the wink(眨眼）” to mean “or at least that’s what she thinks, right?” It’s true that in two years I’ll be 18, and that will make me legally an adult. But it’s also just a number. It doesn’t come with a fantastic moment when you know all the adults are supposed to know what to do. It doesn’t make responsibilities easier. It just makes it legal for you to enter online sweepstakes(彩票）and work at Walmart.This thought all started back in July when my friend, Dakota, officially flew outof military basic training in Oklahoma. He’s 17. Not an adult by the legal definition, but making a very adult decision. He can’t rent a movie from most places, but he can defend our country. I didn’t realize how much his actual departure would affect me and the way I viewed growing up and when i t actually starts.My best friend Madeline is now studying psychology in London. She’s 18. She has been working pretty hard to get the perfect grades. Now, she’s living on her own, doing little things that make her, in my eyes, an adult, and is in complete control of her personal life. I have a basic idea of how a loan works, and apply for one like her? Forget it. I haven’t even had a credit card until now.My other friends are growing up around me, making decisions that will affect the rest of their lives. Where do I fit in? My life is so different form the standard; it’s hard to compare. I’m home-schooled. I’ve been a fashion blogger since I was 13, an occupation that has definitely taught me a lot first-hand about the outside world. Earlier this year, I got my first Teen V ogue feature(专栏）and worked with the Disney Channel. But if you add that up, it doesn’t equal an adult. It equals an accomplished teenager.I made myself a list of “Things to Learn Before I Grow Up”. Number one: Figure out the whole significant thing. Maybe learning to cook something rather than buying ready-made food from the supermarket. But it’s also important for me to enjoy being young. I like having sandwiches my mom made for me, and getting to just be silly sometimes without worry. So in conclusion, my point is this: Being a grown-up is less about your age, but more about what you do with your life.21.What does the author think of the age of 18?A.She can be responsible for herself.B. It is when she still doesn’t know things.C. It is legal for her to do online business.D. She still can’t do things like adults.22.What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 2 refer to?A.Her growing up.B. Dakota’s departure.C. Her defending the country.D. Dakota’s renting a movie.23.Why did the author mention Madeline?A.To explain the course of applying for a loan.B.To admire Madeline’s growing up.C.To stress the importance of a credit card.D.To praise Madeline for her hard work.24.What might be the bets title for the passage?A.I will be 18 in two years.B. I can’t learn like my friends.C. Will “18” make you an adult?D. I don’t want to grow up yet.BUS poet Allen Ginsberg once said, “poetry is the one place where people can speak their original human mind.”To recognize the unique ability of poetry to capture the human spirit, World Poetry Day is held by the United Nations on March 21 each year.The magic of poetry lies in the connection built up through words between the author and the reader. When we read a poem, we often imagine what the poet was thinking when they wrote it, or what they were doing at the time. These thoughts letus connect with the words better, as if we’d written the poem ourselves.But in the age of artificial intelligence(AI人工智能), would a poem still mean as much if it weren’t written by a human at all? Today, computers can create all kinds of texts, including research papers, books, news stories and even poems by using algorithms(算法）.In 2013, Australian researcher Oscar Schwartz and his friend Benjamin Laird created a website called “bot or not”, where readers can read poems and guess whether they were written by a human or a computer. During a recent speech at TedX Sydney, Schwartz said that throughout the years, some of the website’s poems were able to fool 65 percent of human readers into thinking they were written by a human.By launching the website, Schwartz and Laird hoped that people would question the difference between humans and machines---and be able to identify what makes us human.Unstableness(易变性）is part of the answer. “The human [mind] is not a cold, hard fact,” Schwartz said during his TedX Sydney speech, “Rather, it is something that’s constructed with our opinions and something that changes over time.”A computer may be able to create poems that are correct in both grammar and style, but it wouldn’t be able to get the same meanings and emotions across a human poet could. In fact, current AI software creates poems based on ones that have already been written by humans. As Schwartz noted. “The computer works like a mirror that reflects any idea of a human that developers teach it.”So a new challenge arises: What kind of human mind do we want the computer to reflect back at us?Man vs machineTake a look at the two poems below. Can you guess which one was written by acomputer?Poem ADollars of sandIn my handWorth nothing moreThan Frisbee(飞盘）of man.Poem BBig, small seashells quietly fight a lively, sunny tuna(金枪鱼）Never command a sailorThe captain travels like a misty seashellAll whales view rough, clear wavesANSWER: Poem B was written by a computer.25.What’s the purpose of the first three paragraphs?A.To introduce the origin of World Poetry Day.B.To show the popularity of poetry around the world.C.To show the importance and beauty of poetry.D.To give some tips on appreciating poetry.26.What did the data from “bot or not” show?puters are better than humans at writing poetry.puters can also produce poems of high quality.C.Readers don’t really care whether the poems were written by humans.D.Few readers can tell poems written by computers from those by humans.27.According to Schwartz, what makes humans different from machines?A.We value emotions over facts.B. We have changing opinions.C, We are stable in what we do. D. We often make mistakes.28.Why can’t computers match humans in creating poems according to the article?A.They fail to use the correct grammar and style.B.They can’t create poems that make sense.C.They can’t express emotions as well as humans.D.They only know how to copy existing poems.三、根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

These groups are the American Society for Microbiology and the American Cleaning Institute, formerly the Soap and Detergent Association.There was good news in the latest study. Researchers found that eighty-five percent of adults washed their hands in public restrooms last moth. That was the most since the studies began in 1996. Researchers visited restrooms at a baseball park in Atlanta and a science museum and aquarium(水族馆) in Chicago. They also visited two train stations in New York City and a large farmers’market in San Francisco. In all, they observed about six thousand adults, with females and males equal in number.The researchers found that seventy-seven percent of men and ninety-three percent of women washed their hands. That was up from sixty-six percent of men and eighty-eight percent of women in the last study three years ago.The lowest rate of hand washing among men was at Turner Field, home of the Atlanta Braves baseball team. Only sixty-five percent of men washed their hands, compared to all but two percent of women. Chicago and San Francisco had the most hand washers—eighty-nine percent of adults. Atlanta followed at eighty-two percent. New York had the lowest rate, at seventy-nine percent of the adults observed at Grand Central Station and Penn Station.The findings of the observational study conflicted(不一致) with the findings of a separate telephone survey of about one thousand people. Ninety-six percent of them said they always washed their hands after using public restrooms.Almost nine out of ten also said they always washed after using the bathroom at home.Hand washing can help prevent the spread of many different infections.To clean your hands well, wet them first and rub in soap for at least twenty seconds, including between the fingers and under the nails. Then wash under running water. In a public restroom, if you dry your hands with a paper towel, you should also use the towel to shut off the water and open the door.Hand washing is also important when preparing food and after changing a baby’s diaper(尿布). You should also wash if you cough or sneeze into your hands.39. According to the latest study, about women washed their hands after using public bathroom.A. 2,310B. 1,980C. 2,790D. 2,64040.

But Compaq was forced to withdraw(收回)the offer when an important detail about Eisenherg was discovered: he was just 14. Two years later, Eisenberg now runs his own technical support company, F1 Comput er, “I might be interested in getting a job in a few years, after college,” he says. “But this is just right for me now.”Eisenberg is among an increasing number of teenagers who are running their own computer-related businesses--and, for the most part, being successful at it. "Many kids in suburban homes have grown up operating very powerful computers, so technology is second nature to them in a way that it's not to many adults," says Gene Depose, president of a high tech research firm based in New York.Danny Kalmick, the 14-year-old president of Kalmick & Co. Computing took his first step toward becoming a neighborhood computer expert at age 11, when he broke down his first PC (a 486/DX2) to inspect its motherboard (主板). When neighbors called him for computer advice a year later, Kalmick saw a business opportunity. So he printed up business cards, and took out an ad in a neighborhood telephone book. He now has about 10 regular clients, works 6 to 10 hours a week, and earns $ 20 an hour solving tech problems.Low prices are usually an advantage in the marketplace, but so is age. Many young business people argue: Kids aren't as frightening to work with as their more senior adults. “We're professional, of course, but we are just kids, and people feel like they can talk with us and ask us whatever they want without being embarrassed,” says Charles Ross, 18, vice president of a Web services company that develops marketing sites for local businesses. Ross runs the firm with his twin brother, James, and their friend Matthew Baylis, 17. “Beside, a lot of our clients tell us that they would rather work with us because we've grown up with the technology and have a solid handle on it.”43. The title of the passage “Mini Computer Capitalists" refers to ______.A. young computer business peopleB. new kinds of computer companiesC. expensive, high-tech inventionsD. very small high-speed computers44. Eisenberg couldn’t work for the Compaq computer company because ______.A. Compaq didn't want to hire himB. he wanted a very high salaryC. they thought he was too young for the jobD. he didn't have enough experience45. Most teenagers mentioned in the passage who run their own computer business are _____.A. famousB. successfulC. unsuccessfulD. inexperienced46. The underlined phrase "have a solid handle on it" probably means______.A. are full of energyB. are familiar with computer technologyC. understand it well and can do it wellD. are experts and very wealthy47. The last paragraph mainly talks about _____.A. low prices are an advantage in the marketplaceB. young age is an advantage in the marketplaceC. people don't feel embarrassed when they consult teenagersD. teenagers grow up with computer technology任务型阅读（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）Third-generation mobile phones, known as 3G, are the next big step for the telecom industry. Data speed in 3G networks is much quicker than that in present technology. This means users can have high-speed Internet access and enjoy video and CD-quality music on their phones.“Mobile data is not a dream; it’s not an option but a requirement,”said Len Lauer, head of a US communications company, Sprint PCS, at a 3G conference in Bangkok earlier this month.With 3G, you can forget about text messages telling you yesterday’s news; a 3G phone can receive video news programs, updated four times a day. Internet access will also be much quicker, making it easier to surf the Web on your phone than on your computer at home.Face-to-face video callsDon’t worry about getting lost. 3G phones offer map services so you can find a new restaurant just by pressing a few keys on your handset.However, the most impressive part of 3G technology is video calling. With live two-way video communication, you can have face-to-face talks with friends and family on your mobile phone.Many European countries have already launched the service. In May 2000 the US Government issued five license to run 3G wireless services, while the first 3G phones arrived in Italy in March this year. International telecom companies can’t wait to sell 3G in China, the world’s largest mobile telecommunications market. But they will have to be patient. At the moment, China is involved in testing its 3G-based technologies, networks and services. This will be followed by a trial period before the phones can finally hit the shops.“We need to create a pool of 3G customers before the large-scale commercial launch of the service,” said Fan Yunjun, marketing manager for Beijing Mobile. “We expect that the 3G licenses will be issued late76. map 77.

On the site Avatar Forums（论坛）, the topic “Ways to cope with the depression of the dream of Pandora being intangible（触摸不到的）” has more than 1,000 posts.In a similar forum, one user wrote, “When I woke up this morning after watching Avatar for the first time yesterday, the world seemed grey. It just seems so meaningless.”“I still don‟t really see any reason to keep doing things at all. I live in a dying world.”On another site, one fan was even more affected, admitting, “I even consider suicide, thinking that if I do it I will be rebirthed in a world similar to Pandora.”On the Avatar site Naviblue, a fan calling himself Jorba has even asked others to join him in starting a real Na‟vi tribe（部落）.Dr Stephan Quentzel, psychiatrist（精神病医生）and Medical Director in New York told CNN, “Virtual life is not real life and it never will be, but this is the pinnacle（极点）of what we can build in a virtual presentation so far.”“It has taken the best of our technology to create this virtual world and real life will never be as utopian（空想的）as it seems on screen. It makes real life seem more imperfect.”But not everyone viewing the film has been hit by the “Avatar Blues”, as a small but vocal（发嗓音的）group have claimed it contains racist（种族主义的）themes—the white hero once again saving the primitive（原始的）natives. Since the film opened three weeks ago, hundreds of blog posts, newspaper articles and YouTube videos have said things such as the film is “a fantasy about ra ce told from the point of view of white people” and that it strengthens “the white Messiah fable（寓言）.”The film‟s writer and director, James Cameron, says the real theme is about respecting others‟ differences.56. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?A. The audience think the theme of the film is showing respect to others‟ differences.B. The perfection created in the film makes some viewers think of committing suicide.C. Most of the viewers think the film focuses on racism.D. The film shows the humans are in harmony with nature.57. It can be inferred from the passage that _______.A. the director makes full use of hi-tech to create the virtual world in the filmB. fans voice their feelings on the InternetC. some viewers criticized racism described in the filmD. some viewers even want to create a real Na‟vi tribe58. The best title of the passage is ________.A. Avatar—A Perfect FilmB. Avatar—A Reflection of Real LifeC. Avatar’s Setting Causing Real Life ImperfectD. Avatar’s P erfection Causing DepressionBEast Hampton Fine Arts FestivalDate: July 4-6, 2010Time: 10:00 am-6:00 pmEast Hampton Fine Arts Festival features （以…为特色）America‟s top artists and is one of the highest quality juried show on Long Island.

To learn surf lessons, Coastlife will provide you with _______.A. a one-to-one teaching planB. free high quality equipmentC. the best beach free of dangerD. new skills of surfing on soft surfboardsCIn modern society there is a great deal of argument about competition. Some values it highly, believing that it is responsible for social progress and prosperity（繁荣）. Others say that competition is bad because it sets one person against another and it leads to unfriendly relationships between people.I have taught many children who held the belief that their self-worth relied on how well they performed at tennis and other skills. For them, playing well and winning are often life-and-death affairs. In their single-minded pursuit（追求）of success, the development of many other human qualities is sadly forgotten.However, while some seem to be lost in the desire to succeed, others take an opposite attitude. In a culture which values only the winners and pays no attention to the ordinary players, they strongly blame competition. Among the most vocal are youngsters who have suffered under competitive pressures from their parents or society. Teaching these young people, I often observe in them a desire to fail. They seem to seek failure by not trying to win or achieve success. By not trying, they always have an excuse, “I may have lost, but it does n‟t matter because I really did n‟t try.” What is not usually admitted by themselves is the belief that if they had really tried and lost, that would mean a lot. Such a loss would be a measure of their worth. Clearly, this belief is the same as that of the true competitors who try to prove themselves. Both are based on the mistaken belief that one‟s self-respect relies on how well one performs in comparison with others. Both are afraid of not being valued. Only as this basic and often troublesome fear begins to dissolve（消失）can we discover a new meaning in competition.63. What does this passage mainly talk about?A. Competition helps to set up self-respect.B. Opinions about competition are different among people.C. Competition is harmful to personal quality development.D. Failures are necessary experiences in competition.64. The underlined phrase “the most vocal” in Paragraph 3 means __________.A. those who try their best to winB. those who value competition most highlyC. those who are against competition most stronglyD. those who rely on others most for success65. What is the similar belief of the true competitors and those with a desire to fail?A. One‟s worth lies in his performance compared with others.B. One‟s success in competition needs great efforts.C. One‟s achievement is determined by his particular.D. One‟s success is based on how hard he has tried.66. Which point of view may the author agree to?A. Every effort should be paid back.B. Competition should be encouraged.C. Winning should be a life-and-death matter.D. Fear of failure should be removed in competition.DBe careful! Someone may use the truth to deceive. When he tells you something that is true, but leaves out important information that should be included, he can create a false impression.For example, someone might say, “I just won a hundred dollars on the lottery（彩票）. It was great. I took that dollar ticket back to the store and turned it in for one hundred dollars!”This g uy‟s a winner, right? Maybe, maybe not. We then discover that he bought two hundred tickets, and only one was a winner. He‟s really a big loser!He didn‟t say anything that was false, but he purposely left out important information. That‟s called a half-truth. Half-truths are not technically lies, but they are just as dishonest.Untrustworthy candidates in political campaigns often use this tactic. Let‟s say that during Governor Smith‟s last term, her state lost one million jobs and gained three million job s. Then she seeks（寻求）another term（任期）. One of her opponents（对手）runs an ad saying, “During Governor Smith‟s term, the st ate lost one million jobs!” That‟s true. However an honest statement would have been, “During Governor Smith‟s term, the state had a net（净）gain of two million jobs.”Advertisers will sometimes use half-truths. It‟s against the law to make false claims so they try to mislead you with the truth. An ad might boast（吹牛）, “Nine out of ten doctors recommend Yucky Pills to cure nose pimples（丘疹）.” It fails to mention that they only asked ten doctors and nine of them work for the Yucky Corporation.This kind of deception happens too often. It‟s a sad fact of life: Lies are lies, and sometimes the truth can lie as well.67. Which statement is true according to the article?A. Whenever people tell the truth, they are really lying.B. You can‟t trust gamblers（赌徒）.C. All governors help their states.D. The truth can be used in dishonest ways.68. The underlined word “deceive” in the first sentence means ________.A. removing one‟s teeth in publicB. ignore warningsC. foolD. repair69. The author clearly wants people to ________.A. think carefully about what they read and hearB. wear mismatched socks during political campaignsC. never trust anyoneD. vote for female candidates70. An appropriate title for this passage would be ________.A. Half-truthB. Everyone LiesC. Lying With the TruthD. Nose PimplesV. 单词拼写（共20小题；每小题0.5分，满分10分）1.

There are three ways you can experience the thrill of skydiving and the only requirement is that you should be at least eighteen years old and have a weight of under 250 pounds. You also have to be free of any heart disease or severe medical conditions.Skydiving courses, in most cases, work the same way. A certified(有资格的) instructor will get you trained and he'll try to scare you and make you not jump. That‟s because the only thing he doesn't want is that a student panics while free falling. You'll then have to fill a lot of papers that you must go through if you want to jump. These documents make sure that if you get hurt the company will not be responsible. These are very scary but you‟ll have to sign them if you want to jump.When choosing the method you'll first skydive, you have to consider how much time you have and how much cash you've got. Of course, how brave you are is another factor and depending on these factors you‟ll have to choose one of three methods for your first jump. The methods are tandem（两人前后纵列）, static line and accelerated(加速) free fall. If what you want is to fly freely you have to go for accelerated free fall. Just want a nice ride, tandem might be the best choice. If you just want a quick ride you can go for static line.A good thing to take into consideration is videotaping your first jump, which costs from $ 50 to $100. You'll love looking back at how scared you were when jumping out of an airplane. If you choose to videotape your jump, another skydiver will jump before you do from the airplane and fly near you with acamera.VII. 书面表达（共1题，满分15分）假如你是班长，要组织主题班会，请你以“爱娱乐更爱学习”为主题，用英文写一篇发言稿。

高一英语限时训练（1）I. 阅读理解AAI is short for artificial intelligence (人工智能).Scientists have been working to improve AI models, mainly by training the models on larger and larger collections of information. Those works are paying off. Quite powerful AI tools have surprised even their creators with what they can do.Some recent models can create music based on people’s choice of mood (气氛), style and length. Some can create realistic photos from a short-written description. Others can recreate anyone’s voice saying anything based on a voice recording just a few seconds long.But the AI tool that’s gotten the most attention recently is ChatGPT, created by the company OpenAI. ChatGPT is used to generate text (create writing). When asked a question, ChatGPT answers quickly in perfect sentences. It makes up stories and games, writes articles, programs computers, and much more. ChatGPT appears to be highly intelligent. But really, ChatGPT is simply guessing — based on its training information — which word is most likely to come next.Last month, OpenAI introduced a more powerful model, called GPT-4, which can create and explain jokes, and pass tests that are difficult for humans. The rapid progress and more general skills of recent AI models worry some people. Last week, many computer experts wrote an open letter calling for a six-month pause (暂停) for any work on AI tools stronger than GPT-4.The letter said AI companies were in a race to create “powerful digital(数字的) minds” that no one can “understand, predict (预测), or ...control”. The group behind the letter wants governments to develop laws to make sure Al tools are safe.Many AI experts express their views on the letter. Some say the letter makes today’s AI tools sound more intelligent than they really are. Others say it’s more important to worry about the real problems of AI tools at present rather than imaginary ones there might be in the future.Many companies are likely to keep developing powerful AI tools. But the letter has senta strong warning that many people will be thinking about carefully.1. What is paragraph 2 mainly about?A. Future possibilities of AI tools.B. Impressive abilities of AI tools.C. Serious problems with AI tools.D. Suggested improvements for AI tools.2. Why does the author mention GPT-4 in paragraph 4?A. To introduce a new AI model.B. To describe AI models’ future.C. To compare different AI models.D. To show AI models’ fast progress.3. For what purpose did many computer experts write an open letter?A. To explain the idea of AI.B. To speed the spread of Al.C. To slow down AI development.D. To predict the risk of AI research.4. What is many AI experts’ attitude to the letter according to paragraph 6?A. Carefree.B. Favorable.C. Uncertain.D. UnsupportiveBEmperor penguins (帝企鹅) live on the faraway and very cold Antarctic coasts. Because of the hard conditions of emperor penguins’ natural home, some groups are unreachable for humans, making these birds hard to study.Satellites (machines that have been sent into space and go around the Earth) have come to help penguin researchers search Antarctic coasts for penguin groups. Recently, satellite imagery (影像) has shown a new penguin group. It’s small, but can be seen from space.Peter Fretwell, a scientist at the British Antarctic Survey, was looking for melting (融化的) sea ice when he saw a new penguin group. The new group is relatively small. It has only about 1,000 adult penguins, or 500 breeding pairs. But, as one of only 66 emperor penguin groups now known to researchers, it was an important addition. This group, like all the others discovered by satellite, could be seen from space because penguin waste builds up near groups and makes the snow dark brown.After Fretwell’s team saw the dark brown snow, they confirmed (确认) their discovery with satellite imagery. The penguins, seen as small round marks in the imagery, could be seen in pictures taken by the Maxar WorldView-3 satellite, which can find objects less than a foot long. The Maxar WorldView-3 imagery is what researchers used to decide that the group had a population of about 1,000 penguins.Philip Trathan, another scientist at the British Antarctic Survey, said, “Although we’ve found more than 60 groups, the grounds are all in the places where recent studies suggest emperor penguins will decline. Birds in these grounds are probably at risk — we need to watch these grounds carefully as climate (气候) change will have an influence on this area.”The finding of this new group is promising news for the future of penguins. With climate change and other human influences on their environment, it’s encouraging to know that there are still places where penguins can grow or develop well. These pictures give us hope that if we work to protect penguins’ homes, they will continue to be a part of our planet for years to come.5.What problem have researchers been facing when studying emperor penguins?A. Some of their groups are out of reach.B. Their natural home is too large to explore.C. Satellites cannot find groups that are small.D. Satellite imagery cannot show their numbers clearly.6. Which of the following played a key role in confirming the new penguin group?A. The penguin waste.B. The melting sea ice.C. The marks the penguins have.D. The snow the penguins built up.7. What might the underlined word “decline” in paragraph 5 mean?A. Show up.B. Become fewer.C. Develop better.D. Come together:8. How does the author sound in the last paragraph?A. Curious.B. Worried.C. Hopeful.D. HumorousII. 7选5阅读While it’s important for adults to understand how to manage their money, it’s also helpful to teach their children about making smart choices with money. This can help them avoid money problems in the future.Ellen Sabin is the author (作者) of “The Nickels, Dimes, and Dollars Book: A Wise Kid’s Guide to Money Matters”. 1 .Behavioral researchers at Cambridge University say that parents should start teaching their kids about money as young as three years old. 2 . Children in this age group often ask questions about money, which can be a great opportunity (机会) for parents to help them understand money choices and the importance of money in life.Parents can start talking to their kids about money to help them understand why it’s important. “Kids may not think about saving for college, so parents can encourage them to pretend (假装) they are an adult and make decisions between ‘wants’ and ‘needs’. 3 ,” Sabin recommends.Another way parents can help their children learn about the importance of money is by using a “show-and tell” method. 4 . Parents can use the chance to show their kids how to make wise decisions within a certain budget (预算). Sabin says by doing this, parents can help their kids feel good about money and become comfortable with it.5 . Sabin notes that kids enjoy running their own businesses, such as lemonade stands, which shows they value making money. This can help children understand the importance of hard work and the value of money.A. Parents don’t really know how to talk about these topicsB. Kids are always curious about where money comes fromC. She hopes children can learn the basics of money at a young ageD. For example, money can be discussed while having meals or shoppingE. This can help children learn how to make responsible spending choicesF. Parents can also encourage their children to make money through workG. However, Sabin’s book recommends ages 6-11 as the best time for making kids dollar-wiseIII. 完形填空Ever since he was 6 years old, Josiah Colton has wanted to save the Earth.Now 10, the fifth-grader has already started a 1 .

高一英语限时训练(8)I. 阅读理解AKirsten Coates knows what it’s like to spend a lot of time mowing her lawn(修剪草坪).So she made her lawn smaller to make way for 30 trees. The idea was to have more plants and animals around her house and to reduce harmful gases.You don’t have to look far to find Australians who love taking care of their grass and enjoying the sensation of it under their feet. It’s a point of pride for many neighbourhoods, and some local governments even hold competitions for “best lawn”.All the same, Ms Coates is not the only one trying to reduce the hold the lawn and the lawnmower have on our gardens and cultural life.Community and local government group Gardens for Wildlife encourages landowners to reshape their land to better co-exist with native plants and animals.Howard Bridgman, an honorary professor in environmental science at the University of Newcastle, says people like Ms Coates have the right idea. “Gas-driven lawnmowers contribute to the emission (排放) of pollutants, although the effect is relatively small. In recent times, electric mowers have become increasingly popular, greatly reducing emissions. However, it’s important to note that they can still create dust particles (尘粒) that may lead to breathing problems,” Howard said.His advice is to reduce lawn size and use an electric mower — and not too often.But for Suzie Shearer, director of Coolabah Turf in Echuca, the lawn is connected with healthy living.“I cannot imagine living in a world without green space,” Suzie said. “Lawns are also a great way to get kids to spend less time on screens and more time outdoors.”Even so, she has no regrets about the lawn she’s removed.“My bird population has greatly increased. It has given me more chances to see birds and reduced the stress of keeping the lawn alive during dry periods. It’s a win-win situation,” she said.1. Why do many Australian neighbourhoods like keeping lawns?A. Lawns bring the communities together.B. Lawns are spaces where kids can play.C. Lawns symbolize wealth to them.D. Lawns bring them a sense of pride.2. What does Howard think of mowing the lawn?A. It costs a lot of money.B. It takes too much time.C. It harms our environment and health.D. It calls for more advanced lawnmowers.3. How does Suzie feel about removing part of her lawn?A. Bored.B. Satisfied.C. Regretful.D. Worried.4. What is the best title for the text?A. Mowing lawns less oftenB. Lose the lawn, or just reduce it?C. Healthy lawn, healthy environmentD. Reducing lawns for a greener worldBDisagreements have arisen in Northern France after many ancient standing stones were damaged to make way for a new hardware chain (五金连锁店).About 39 stones, dating back at least 7,000 years, were removed from the site, which sits on one of Europe’s most famous prehistoric attractions, Agence France-Presse (AFP) reported. “The site has been damaged,” local archaeologist Christian Obeltz told AFP.Carnac, often described as “French Stonehenge”, is famous for its spreading fields of large tall stones. The stones are arranged in long, straight lines and, according to the Carnac Tourist Office, it is the largest collection of this type of standing stone in the world. The two main sites alone, at Menec and Kermario, house nearly 3,000 standing monuments (历史遗迹) covering over 4 miles.The purpose of this ancient curiosity is still unknown. Many believe it may have had something to do with religion (宗教), while others think it could have served as a farming calendar. One idea even suggests that the stones are connected to a sad event that happened to a Roman army.The Regional Office of Cultural Affairs for Brittany, which is responsible for protecting the cultural monument, made a statement on disagreements over building the store on Wednesday, “Given the uncertain and non-major character of the remains, damage to a site of historical value has not been established,” the statement said. However, Obeltz mentioned that there hasn’t been enough research in the area to decide whether the stones were historically important.News of building the store has caused a storm of angry comments on social media, with many expressing their thoughts on the loss of the ancient stones. “Poor Carnac! The commodification (商品化) of the world prepares the man without memories,” said Philippe de Villiers, France’s former Secretary of State for Culture.“In Carnac, 39 standing stone monuments survived Julius Caesar, World War I and World War II. But not Mr. DIY!” the Twitter account Dom Revolution wrote.5. What happened to the 39 stones?A. They were sold to a store.B. They were moved away.C. They were worn with time.D. They were used to build a building.6. What makes Carnac stand out as a site of stone monuments?A. Its large size.B. Its unique shape.C. Its long rich history.D. Its connection with an army.7. What may the Regional Office agree with?A. The site should have been studied more.B. The site needs government protection.C. The site is not very well-known.D. The site has low historical value.8. Why does the author mention opinions on the Internet?A. To share people’s last memories of Carnac.B. To show public anger at Carnac’s situation.C. To stress the importance of protecting Carnac.D. To give more information about Carnac’s history.II. 7选5阅读Looking for something to do while waiting for the bus? 1At 20 stops across Boston until August, you can check out digital books from the library using your smartphone.

Sometimes owners forget that their cats are just as used to the warm shelter as they are. Some owners will leave their animals outside for a long period of time, thinking that all animals are used to living outdoors. This can put their pets in danger of serious illness. There are things you can do to keep your animal warm and safe.Keep your pets inside as much as you can when the weather is bad. If you have to take them out, stay outside with them. When you’re cold enough to go inside, they probably are too. I f you must leave them outside for a long time, make sure they have a warm, solid shelter against the wind, thick bedding, and plenty of non-frozen water.If left alone outside, dogs and cats can be very smart in their search for warm shelter. They can dig into snow banks or hide somewhere. Watch them closely when they are left outdoors, and provide them with shelter of good quality. Keep an eye on your pet’s water. Sometimes owners don’t realize that a water bowl has frozen and their pet can’t get anything to drink. Animals that don’t have clean and unfrozen water may drink dirty water outside, which may contain something unhealthy for them.36. What do we learn about pets from Paragraph 1?A. They are often forgotten by their owners.B. They are used to living outdoors.C. They build their won shelters.D. They like to stay in warm places.37. Why are pet owners asked to stay with their pets when they are out in cold weather?A. To know when to bring them inside.B. To keep them from eating bad food.C. To help them find shelters.D. To keep them company.38. If pets are left on their own outdoors in cold weather, they may ___.A. run short of clean waterB. dig deep holes for funC. dirty the snow nearbyD. get lost in the wild39. What is the purpose of this text?A. To solve a problem.B. To give practical advice.C. To tell an interesting story.D. To present a research result.BMy 10-year-old Donna said, “Mom, I made a new friend at school today. Can she come over tomorrow?” Donna was a shy girl and I wanted her to make some friends to bring her out of her shell.“Sure, honey, that sounds great.” I said, thinking back to my own best friend, Lillian. We lived across the street from each other in Washington Heights, New York. We met at the age of 10, too. Like my daughter, I was shy, but Lillian drew me out. She was one of the friendliest people in school, with shiny black hair and a mile-wide smile.In senior high school, Lillian went on a trip to Florida. This was the first time we had to be away from each other for a few days. “I’ll be back soon.” she told me. But three days later,Lillian’s sister told me that she had fallen into a river and hadn’t come out any more. Soon, my family moved to New Jersey. Whenever I thought of her, tears came into my eyes.The next day Donna b rought her new friend home. “Hi, Mrs. Loggia.” the little girl said. Her hair was so shiny and black and she shot me a big smile. “My name is Laura.”My daughter’s new friend was so much like Lillian. I was still puzzled (迷惑) when Laura’s mom came to p ick her up later that afternoon. I opened the door to let her in. “Judy!” she cried. “It’s me, Lillian’s sister, from Washington Heights.” Yes, my daughter’s friend looked familiar. She was Lillian’s niece.40.

Without enough blood, the brain lives for only three to five minutes. More often the doctors can’ t fix the damage. Sometimes they are afraid to try something to help because it is dangerous to work on the brain. The doctors might make the person worse if he operates on the brain.Dr. Robert White, a famous professor and doctor, thinks he knows a way to help. He thinks doctors should make the brain very cold. If it is very cold, the brain can live without blood for 30 minutes. This gives the doctor a longer time to do something for the brain.Dr. White tried his idea on 13 monkeys. First he taught them to do different jobs, then he op-erated on them. He made the monkeys’blood go through a machine. The machine cooled the blood. Then the machine sent the blo od back to the monkeys’brains. When the brain’s tempera-ture was 10°C, Dr. White stopped the blood to the brain. After 30 minutes he turned the blood back on. He warmed the blood again. After their operations the monkeys were like they had been before. They were healthy and busy. Each one could still do the jobs the doctor had taught them.48. The brain operation was made possible mainly by _______.A. taking the blood out of the brainB. trying the operation on monkeys firstC. having the blood go through a machineD. lowering the brain’s temperature49. With Dr. White’s new idea, the operation on the damaged brain _______.A. can last as long as 30 minutesB. can keep the brain’s blood warmC. can keep the patient’s brain healthyD. can help monkeys do different jobs50. What is the right order of the steps in the operation?a. send the cooled blood back to the brainb. stop the blood to the brainc. have the blood cooled downd. operate on the brainA. a, b, c, dB. c, a, b, dC. c, b, d, aD. b, c, d, a第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

（共12小题；每小题3分，满分36分）ACats and many other animals can reflect light from their eyes.That’s why their eyes will usually shine brightly in photos taken in a less bright room.Some species can see better in low light because they either hunt for food or need to look out for enemies throughout the night,or at the early morning and late afternoon.In fact,domesticated(家养的)cats can see in conditions that are only16%as bright as what people require.Cats achieve this because their pupils(瞳孔)are special.Pupils operate like windows,with bigger ones letting more light into the eye.And a cat’s pupils can become up to 50%larger than human pupils in weak light.They also have a higher number of a specific type of light-sensing cell in the back of their eyes than we do.These cells,called rods,catch low-level light.What’s more,cats have something people don’t:a tapetum lucidum,or eyeshine,which is behind the retina(视网膜),receiving light,changing the light to an electrical signal and sending this signal to the brain to form the image.A cat’s tapetum lucidum reflect light back to the retina, which gives the retina a second chance to absorb more light.Unfortunately,animals with a tapetum lucidum give up some visual quality for their ability to see in weak light.That’s because bright light reflecting off he tapetum lucidum can make what they see a little more unclear.So,a cat needs to be seven times closer to an object to see it as sharply as a person would in a brightly lit place.But don’t worry,I’m sure your cat would rather see clearly at night than read a book.1.In photos taken in dark rooms,we find cats’eyes shining brightly mainly because________.A.their eyes can send light like a car's headlightsB.they need to fight enemies with lights in the darkC.they have the habit of hunting for food at nightD.they have the ability to reflect light from their eyes2.According to the text,which of the following helps cats catch low-level light?A.Pupils.B.Rods.C.Retinas.D.Tapetum lucidums.3How does the author illustrate his viewpoint?A.By analyzing causes.B.By providing examples.C.By explaining a concept.D.By drawing comparisons.4.Which of the following is the inconvenience atapetum lucidum brings to cats?A.Failing to approach the goal.B.Missing the chance of reading.C.Seeing clearly in the bright light.D.Losing some visual quality.BI often wondered what it would be like to have cancer.I didn’t expect to find out,though,at last not for decades.I have always been healthy and strong;I regularly do hot yoga and swim two kilometers in a bay near my home in Sydney.But now I know:it felt as if I was carrying a baby.Tumors(肿瘤)that silently grew inside me suddenly became bigger one weekend.Then,one Saturday in June,I was struck with sharp pain and ended up in the hospital.My doctor said it might be very serious.I spent two weeks waiting for the operation,not knowing if I’d live to the end of the year.In the days before the operation,I turned off my phone and computer.I prayed so hard that I grew unnaturally calm.The operation lasted five hours.The mass was fully removed,but it was unexpectedly complicated.I was in special care for eight days,in the wires,machines,with pipes in my lungs and liver.Luckily,the operation was very successful and I am slowly growing stronger.I am walking upright again and waking without great pain.I can now drive,and am preparing to return to work. My prognosis(预后)is good,but I will need to live with the fear of return.Everyone suddenly seems consumed with foolish worries.I have a different idea about the complaints posted by some Internet users who had the flu,were upset by the upcoming exams or burdened by work.I want to scream:BUT YOU ARE ALIVE!Alive!Each day is a gift,especially if you are upright and able to move with ease,without pain.I’m still struggling with what all of this means.But in this short time,a truth became even clearer to me.We should not have to move to the woods like Henry David Thoreau to“live meaningfully”. It would be impossible and frankly tiring to live each day as if it were your last.My doctor asked me a few days ago how I became so calm before the operation.I told her:I prayed;I locked out negativity and drew my family and friends near;I tried to live meaningfully.She said,“Actually you should do that for the rest of your life.”5.What did the author think of her physical state before being diagnosed(诊断)with cancer?A.She knew tumors silently grew inside her.B.She exercised regularly but felt bad sometimes.C.She thought there was nothing wrong with her health.D.She was considered to be healthy by the doctor.6.Which one is not the so-called“foolish worries”according to the author in Paragraph9?A.Loss of both legs.B.Suffering from the flu.C.Burden of heavy workloads.D.Fear of the monthly exams.7.Which of the following can best describe the author?A.Kind and outgoing.B.Cautious and brave.C.Confident and generous.D.Positive and reflective.8.What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?A.To share a pleasant experience.B.To recommend a healthy lifestyle.C.To call on people to live a worthy life.D.To try hard to make a difference to the world.C“Demographics are our fate”,which suggests much of the future is determined by the very simple trend lines of populations.Of course,demographics can’t spot pandemics or other crises. But as shocking as they feel at the moment,such events are rare.One aspect of the future that demographics can’t help predict are technological discoveries.But even technological discoveries have a slower impact on the daily life than we sometimes perceive.Peter Thiel famously said in 2013,“We wanted flying cars.Instead,we got nothing but140characters.”So what comes next?If you woke up20years from now in2042,what would be different? Here are some ideas based on numbers that don’t require a crystal ball.About70percent of the world population is expected to live in urban areas by2050,according to data from the United Nations.That means most cities are going to need more improvements.Roads,public transportation and waste management will need large-scale expansion and upgrades.The averageperson produces4.9pounds of waste a day,up from3.66pounds in1980.But here’s a trend going in the other direction as a result of technology:Paper and paperboard declined from87.7million tons in2000to67.4million tons in2018,according to the U.S.Environmental Protection Agency.And we’ll be older.In the United States,we’re likely to live until82.4years old,compared with79.1years old today,the United Nations predicts.That’s a good thing for health care companies and others that satisfy the needs of older people.But living three extra years is going to be more expensive,which will have an influence on both working and saving.Businesspersons,industry leaders and policymakers are already at work solving some of the problems that demographic data suggest are ahead of us.They are trying to figure out how to inspire farmers to sequester carbon and use green machines to reduce the energy consumption.What about the metaverse?Or robots taking our jobs?Or AI taking over everything? Demographics can’t answer those questions.All of those things may happen,but life in2042may also look a lot like it does today maybe with the exception of those flying cars.9.How does the author understand“Demographics are our fate.”in Paragraph1?A.The trend lines of populations can decide the future of the world.B.Demographics can’t determine all the things in the future.C.Demographics can help recognize pandemics or other rises in the future.D.Demographics can decide how quickly we make new technological discoveries.10.In2042,which of the following is least likely to happen according to the prediction?A.Much more paper will be produced.B.The environment will be polluted seriously.C.People will produce much more waste than before.D.Urban areas are going to need more improvements.11.The underlined word“sequester”in Paragraph4can be replaced by________.A.increaseB.avoidC.generateD.encounter12.Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A.Are flying cars popular in20years?B.What is the fate of the car industry?C.What will the world be like in20years?D.What effect do the Demographics have?第二节（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15分）How to Focus on StudyingUnless you have a strong desire to learn the information or develop a skill,it can be hard to focus all of your attention.Here are some of the best tricks that help you increase your focus on studying.____13____Chose a right spot.And,in order to concentrate,you must remove the things distracting(分心)you.Put away mobile devices.Turn off the TV.Sit away from people making loud noises.Come prepared.____14____Have pens,paper,textbooks or anything necessary at hand.You should take care of everything outside of studying before you sit down to focus.If not,you’ll just end up getting up repeatedly.Make a schedule.Aim to work for30—60minute periods with5—10minute breaks in between.It is a lot easier to push yourself for a set period of time,if you know you have a break coming up.____15____Studying the same thing for too long is an invitation to boredom(枯燥).Make lists and break down tasks.Write down your study goals for that day.Make sure the task is within your ability.It works for any task like reading a book,studying for a test,or whatever.And if you need to write10pages in a week,schedule yourself to write2pages a dayfor5days.____16____Vary your study techniques____17____Variety will keep you interested in your studies and make your time more efficient.By studying with different techniques,your brain will process the information differently,thus increasing the chance of keeping the information.A.Find a suitable place.B.Get rid of distractions.C.Break the task into manageable parts.D.Don’t limit yourself to one study method.E.Be sure to have all the materials needed to workF.Set a schedule to make full use of your study time.G.Besides,schedule yourself to study different subjects.第三部分完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分）Nowadays,media and information coming so quickly on the Internet,kids are used to getting things in quick ways,but refuse to read a book.I remember the wonderful____18____when I realized my6-year-old niece could read.One weekend,it was bedtime and we were reading Make Way for Ducklings.She____19____a few words.I was____20____to see that she was enjoying reading.Two years later she moved in with me.Our bedtimes were filled with various stories.Now she is11.However,she is more interested in Tik Tok than in any of the stories.And____21____she certainly can read,she really doesn’t like to unless I threaten to____22____her iPad.As an educator and writer,this is____23____for me.To my regret,reading has become a ____24____in my family.“Don’t worry too much,”educational consultant Waldinger____25____me when I called to discuss my pain.“As digital natives,our children simply have a____26____relationship with the written word from that of us who came from the typewriter____27____”,suggested Waldinger “Kids do lots of incidental(伴随的)____28____,”she told me.“Playing video games and watching a movie like Frozen with closed captions(字幕)are reading.And so is using a(n)____29____to make cookies.”She said,“You just can’t expect kids to sit down and____30____the encyclopedia(百科全书)like we did back in the day.Accept the fact,stop____31____over reading,and just give children more____32____to read,whether digital or printed.”18.A.schedule bination C.moment ment19.A.sounded B.spelt C.exchanged D.spread20.A.sorry B.delighted C.fortunate D.upset21.A.because B.while C.if D.until22.A.operate B.program C.remove D.negate23.A.pleasant B.beneficial C.distant D.painful24.A.routine B.property C.vitality D.disagreementforted B.favored C.blamed D.depressed26.A.tolerant B.different C.ideal D.precise27.A.era B.region C.mass D.volume28.A.cooking B.setting C.calling D.reading29.A.electricity B.onion C.recipe D.pan30.A.looked up B.dug up C.built up D.picked31.A.getting B.fighting C.taking D.falling32.A.encouragement B.expectation C.arrangement D.version。

Last Sunday evening, we invited some people home for dinner. I dressed them nicely for the party, and told them that their job was to join Mommy in answering the door when the bell rang. Mommy would introduce them to the guests, and then they would take the guests' coats upstairs and put them on the bed inthe second bedroom.The guests arrived. I introduced my two daughters to each of them. The adults were nice and kind and said how lucky we were to have such good kids.Each of the guests made a particular fuss over Kelly, the younger one, admiring her dress, her hair and her smile. They said she was a remarkable girl to be carrying coats upstairs at her age.I thought to myself that we adults usually make a big "to do" over the younger one because she's the one who seems more easily hurt. We do it with the best of intentions.But we seldom think of how it might affect the other child. I was a little worried that Kristen would feel she was being outshined. I was about to serve dinner when I realized that she had been missing for twenty minutes. I ran upstairs and found her in the bedroom, crying.I said, "What are you doing, my dear?"She turned to me with a sad expression and said, "Mommy, why don't people like me the way they like my sister? Is it because I 'm not pretty? Is that why they don't say nice things about me as much?"I tried to explain to her, kissing and hugging her to make her feel better.Now, whenever I visit a friend's home, I make it a point to speak to the elder child first. 21．The underlined expression ' make a big "to do" over' (paragraph 4) means ______.A．show much concern about B．have a special effect onC．list jobs to be done for D．do good things for22．The guests praised Kelly for carrying coats upstairs because of her ______.A．beautiful hair B．pretty clothesC．lovely smile D．young age23．Kristen felt sad and cried because ______.A．the guest gave her more coats to carryB．she didn't look as pretty as KellyC．the guests praised her sister more than herD．her mother didn't introduce her to the guests24．We can conclude from the passage that ______.A．parents should pay more attention to the elder childrenB．the younger children are usually more easily hurtC．people usually like the younger children moreD．adults should treat children equally25．Which of the following saying is right?A．Kristen and Kelly are not getting along with each other.B．Kristen is older than Kelly.C．The mother likes Kristen more than Kelly.D．People usually talk more to Kelly than they do to Kristen.BThe following is a true story. It happened in the northern end of Queens land, Australia, where all kinds of animals live in the forest.Lisa, a 33-year-old woman, went to prepare lunch in the kitchen, leaving Barney, her three-year-old son, playing by himself in the back garden.Suddenly, a sharp cry of Barney came into the mother’s ears, and Lisa rushed into the backyardin a hurry and found a big snake entwining(缠绕) the little child with its terrible body and trying to eat the boy as its delicious dish! It was a boa(蟒)! Lisa was terrified and quite angry. She made up her mind to save her son from the snake’s mouth.It was fearless mother love that made Lisa forget what she faced. She took up an old hoe from the ground and beat the boa with all her might.One...two... With the hoe, Lisa bea t the snake repeatedly, but useless. The little boy’s voice and breath were getting weaker and weaker. Lisa’s heart was broken and she got nearly mad. Suddenly Lisa put away the hoe and threw herself to the boa, opening her mouth and bit into the boa’s back as if trying to eat a rare steak(牛排). Lisa was really mad!Blood was spurting(喷射) out of the boa’s body and covered most of Lisa’s body. The boa was so badly wounded that it let go of Barney and moved back into the forest hurriedly.

AA computer company has a special person who answers all questions that are sent to him. The person is a 63-year-oldman. He is known for finding the right answers. On the Internet, more people are finding out about this smart man. He doesn’t look like a computer expert. He has silver hair and is gentle. He feels that his age helps him with his job. He remembers a lot of things people ask about. He says that every day is different, so he is never bored.He tries to return the answers within 24 hours. He will answer any questions that he can. The questions he gets are very different each day. He loves his job.Other companies do not have a place for people to ask questions. If they do, it may take a long time to get an answer. Sometimes you may never get an answer at all.It is important for companies to have a person who will answer your questions. It keeps the customers happy. Happy customers will keep coming back.51. According to the man, his old age suggests that ________.A. he is weakB. he is strongC. he is trustedD. he is important52. It is clear that the man ________.A. manages to answer the questions within 24 hours.B. works all day long and all night longC. can remember all the questions people askD. enjoys his work53. The man’s job helps the company __________.A. in search of more customersB. please the customersC. ask questionsD. ask the customers to come back54. The man doesn’t think his job is boring because _________.A. he knows all the answersB. people ask different questionsC. he always answers the question differentlyD. he can make people happyBAny diet on which you eat fewer calories than you need to get through the day — like an 800-calorie-per-day diet can be dangerous. Diets that don't allow any fat also can be bad for you. Everyone needs a certain amount of fat in their diet — up to 30% of total calories — so no one should eat a completely fat-free diet.Don't have diets that restrict （限制）certain food groups, either. A diet that requires you to say no to bread or pasta or allows you to eat only fruit is unhealthy. You won't get the vitamins and minerals you need. And although you may lose weight, you'll probably gain it back as soon as you start eating normally again.Some people start dieting because they think all the problems in their lives are because of weight. Others have an area of their lives that they can't control, like an alcoholic(酗酒的) parent, so they focus on something they can control — their exercise and food intake.People who diet may get lots of praise from friends and family when they start losing pounds, which makes them feel good. But eventually(最后) a person reaches a weight level — and doesn't lose as much weight as before because the body is trying to keep a healthy weight, so they aren't any happier.Some people may find it hard to control their eating, so they stick with an extreme diet for a little while, but then eat tons of food. Feeling guilty(内疚的) about the binge(暴食), they use laxatives（泻药）.

As more children have got eye trouble, their parents hope to cure the disease by medicine, equipment or by correcting the way children read and sit. But in fact the care given to one’s eyes should start with the exercise on one’s feet. Three methods on how to protect eyes are as follows:Firstly, don’t fasten your shoes too tightly. Try wearing loose socks or walking bare-footed(光脚) at home. When travelling, try wearing cloth shoes so as to make blood circulation(循环) easier.Secondly, walking on tiptoes (脚尖) will help improve one’s eyesight, and prevent near-sightedness. Figures show that few ballet(芭蕾舞) performers are near-sighted.Thirdly, rope skipping also does good to one’s eye sight. When skipping the rope, one has to react quickly, which excites the brain as well as the eyes. It will also help make one grow taller.Besides good exercises, it is good to pull one’s ears. Pulling the ears 20 times is found to be an effective way to reduce the pressure on one’s eyes soon.59.

To answer our reporter's why-question, she told us the following story which, as she put it, had led her to the work for the less fortunate people:"It was Thanksgiving morning and in the crowded kitchen of my small home I was busy preparing the traditional Thanksgiving turkey when the doorbell rang. I opened the front door and saw two small children in rags huddling(挤在一起) together inside the storm door on the top step."Any old papers, lady?" asked one of them.I was busy. I wanted to say "no" until I looked down at their feet. They were wearing thin little sandals, wet with heavy snow.''Come in and I'll make you a cup of hot cocoa. "They walked over and sat down at the table. Their wet sandals left marks upon the floor. I served them cocoa andbread with jam to fight against the cold outside. Then I went back to the kitchen and started again on my household budget.The silence in the front room struck me. I looked in. The girl held the empty cup in her hands, looking at it. The boy asked in a flat voice, 'Lady, are you rich?""Am I rich? Mercy, no!"I looked at my shabby slipcovers (家具套). The girl put her cup back in its saucer(碟子) carefully and said, "Your cups match your saucers.” Her voice was hungry with a need that no amount of food could supply. They left after that, holding their bundles of papers against the wind. They hadn't said "Thank you." They didn't need to. They had reminded me that I had so much for which to be grateful.Plain blue china cups and saucers were only worth five pence. But they matched.I tasted the potatoes and stirred the meat soup. Potatoes and brown meat soup, a roof over our heads, my man with a good steady job —— these matched, too.I moved the chairs back from the fire and cleaned the living room. The muddy prints of small sandals were still wet upon my floor. Let them be for a while, I thought, just in case I should begin to forget how rich I am. And from then on I can't help doing more."Ms Smith concluded her story with a very sweet smile that was worth millions of dollars, even an amount no one could figure out how large!Sure enough, sometimes a very small matter counts much when it is big enough to change one's life a little and great enough to make one feel moved and eager to do things one has even never thought of, which oftentimes brings benefits.63. Why did Ms Smith let the children in?A. She did it out of great pity on them.B. She had old papers to sell.C. She knew them and wanted to make them a cup of cocoa.D. She wanted to invite them to her Thanksgiving party.64.
