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 asked. “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 could—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 yourself. 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 of advice.45. 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 tothe things that were true.D. He refused to take the list and have a look at it.46 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 shortcomi ngs 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.47. 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 sure which girl was telling the truth.48. Which do you think would be the best title for this passage?A. Not an Enemy, but the Best FriendB. The Best Advice I’ve Ever HadC. My FatherD. My ChildhoodB.Good health is the most valuable thing a person can have, but one cannot take good health for granted. It is important to remember that the body needs proper care in order to be healthy. There are three things that a person can do to help stay in good shape: eat right food ,get enough sleep, and exercise regularly. Proper nutrition (营养) is important for good health. Your body cannot work well unless it receives the proper kind of “fuel”(燃料).Don't eat too much food with lots of sugar and fat. Eat plenty of foods high in protein (蛋白质) ,like meat, fish, eggs and nuts. Vegetables and fruits are very important because they provide necessary vitamins (维他命) and minerals. However, don't overeat. It is not helpful to be overweight.Getting the proper amount of sleep is also important. If you don't get enough sleep, you feel tired and easily get angry. You have no energy. Over a long period of time a little a amount of sleep may even result in a change of personality (人的个性).Be sure to allow yourself from seven to nine hours of sleep each night. If you do, your body will feel strong and refreshed, and your mind will be sharp.Finally, get plenty of exercise. Exercise firms the body, strengthens the muscles, and prevents you from gaining weight. It also improves your heart and lungs. If you follow a regular exercise program, you will probably increase your life-span (寿命).Any kind of exercise is good. Most sports are excellent for keeping the body in good shapes: basketball, swimming, bicycling, running and so on are good examples. Sports are not only good for your body, but they are enjoyable and interesting, too.If everybody, were to eat the right foods, get plenty of sleep and exercise regularly, the world would be a happier and healthier place.

They were so scared that they couldn’t move! What could they do? Then the little boy had an idea.

At my wedding, we handed out the traditional candies to people who came. I had said to my wife, Ellen, that handing out packets of cigarettes was wrong, as it just encouraged people to continue a deadly habit. “But it’s traditional,” she replied, “People would think we were mean if we don’t!”Over the years I’ve been given cigarettes as gifts and have always handed them straight back. This might make me look ungrateful in Chinese eyes, but I can’t understand the logic behind handing someone a gift that will cause them to smell terrible, have awful breath, and even worse, kill them.This year the university I work at has taken the bold step of making the entire campus “smoke free”. As my students are either doctors doing postgraduates studies, or medical students on their way to being doctors, I thought they would be in favor of such a move, but I was wrong. Many of them have complained to me that they see this as depriving them of their civil rights and that they should be allowed to smoke when and where they like.When I pointed out to them that cigarettes do harm not only to those smoking themselves, but even to those breathing in second hand smoke, the argument was dismissedwith a wave. “Those studies aren’t conclusive”, one doctor replied. “Besides, my grandmother told me that smoking is manly.” Tempting(诱人的) as it was to ask if she was also a doctor, I let the argument go and went off in search of some fresh air.4．Which of the following is a consequence of smoking according to the author?A．It will leave you breathless.B．People believe you are mean.C．People think you are ungrateful.D．It will make your smell unpleasant. 5．What attitude do many of the author’s students have towards the entire campus “smoke free”?A．Objective.B．Unconcerned.C．Negative.D．Positive. 6．What does the underlined word “depriving” in paragraph 3 mean?A．Robbing.B．Accusing.C．Informing.D．Reminding. 7．In which column of a newspaper is this text probably found?A．Technology.B．Entertainment.C．Art.D．Life.Artificial intelligence (AI ) has been increasingly good at fooling people. A series of photos showing former US president Donald Trump being aggressively arrested by police have caught people’s attention. They were fake but very convincing.Created by the AI program Midjourney, the photos were highly realistic, from the characters’ movements to the surroundings. However, many details can give away the fact that they are made by AI. The Washington Post’s technology writer Shira Ovide shared her tips. The main idea is to spot the problems anything that would look strange in a photo.AI software has a history of generating human hands incorrectly. It sometimes can create hands with more than five fingers. This is because AI isn’t sure what a “hand” exactly is, according to Popular Science. The data AI uses to learn often show hands and fingers in various gestures, which can be very confusing for AI.AI-generated images also usually contain details that are against reality. To spot this, focus on items like accessories. For example, people in an image may be missing earrings or one part of their sunglasses. If there’s text in an image, such as a newspaper or poster, it’s usually garbled (篡改), even though the text may look realistic from a distance.Another thing AI is terrible at handling is the background. If there’s a crowd in the image, people’s faces in the background are usually blurry - or they don’t have faces at all!The development of AI-generated art also raises alarm bells about how these fakeimages could be used to spread misinformation. “I think misinformation is going to hit an all-time high,” Jamie Cohen, a digital culture and AI expert in the US, told New York Post. Generating an AI artwork is to “create reality”, Cohen argued, adding that, being able to tell whether the work is real or not requires high media literacy(素养) skills. “The world may not be ready for how realistic the images have become,” Shane Kittelson, a US researcher, told The Washington Post.8．Why are Donald Trump’s photos mentioned in the first paragraph?A．To draw more people’s attention.B．To make people convinced of the news.C．To show the AI-generated images were fake.D．To prove that it’s easy for AI to cheat people.9．Why does AI generate human hands incorrectly according to the text?A．It is unable to recognize human hands.B．The data it uses to learn contain errors.C．It doesn’t fully understand human hands.D．It has insufficient data about human hands.10．Which of the following will Jamie Cohen agree with?A．AI artworks may not be reflective of true creativity.B．It’s high time to address the risks posed by AI works.C．AI artworks will replace traditional art forms in the future.D．Detecting real art demands strong media literacy competence.11．Where is the text probably from?A．A news report.B．A diary.C．A research paper.D．A science fiction.Scientists have found that floating solar panels could provide a huge amount of electricity if they were placed on lakes and other bodies of water around the world. Floating solar panels could also help save water and protect land.Solar panels — also known as “photovoltaic” panels — are used to turn sunlight into electricity. Most solar panels are placed on land in large collections called solar farms. But recently people have begun to explore putting floating solar panels on water. Because these panels float, some people call them “floatovoltaies (浮动光伏)”.The researchers behind the new study looked at 114,555 reservoirs (水库) worldwide. They used computer programs to figure out how much electricity could be produced yearly by covering 30% of these reservoirs with floating solar panels. The answer was surprisingly large — more than twice the amount of energy the United States generates in a year. And 10 times as much energy as all the solar power currently being generated in the world. The researchers described the results as “remarkable”.The scientists found that floatovoltaies would be especially useful when reservoirs were near smaller cities (50,000 people or less). The researchers say there are about 6,256 cities around the world where floating solar panels could provide all the electricity the cities need.Floatovoltaies can also help save water by limiting evaporation (蒸发) from reservoirs. The scientists say that solar panels covering just 30% of the reservoirs’ surfaces could save as much water as 300 million people would use in a year. There are several other reasons that make floatovoltaies a good idea. Photovoltaic panels work better when they’re not extremely hot. The water helps cool the panels so that they create more energy. Putting solar panels on water also means that there’s no need to clear land for a solar farm. That’s more and more important as countries work to fight climate change and protect natural spaces for wild animals.12．What did the researchers think of the study results?A．Skeptical.B．Amazing.C．Worrying.D．Interesting. 13．Where should floating solar panels be placed to make them extremely helpful?A．In small cities with more rain and less sunshine.B．In huge cities with many small lakes and rivers.C．In tiny cities near reservoirs with less than 50,000 people.D．In large cities far from reservoirs with more than 50,000 people.14．Why is covering reservoirs with floating solar panels useful?A．It can help reduce water evaporation.B．It can prevent water from being polluted.C．It purifies the water available for consumption.D．It provides enough sunlight for the solar panels.15．What’s the best title for the text?A．The methods of using floatovoltaiesB．The prospects of the power industryC．Solar Farms —Turning Sunlight into ElectricityD．Floating Solar Panels — Making Energy, Saving Water二、七选五There are hundreds of worthy destinations in the country catering to all tastes. At the top of that list is Chengdu, the perfect jumping-off point for those in search of a mix of stunning natural scenery, wildlife and some of most incredible food on the planet. In recent years the city has expanded its offerings, including a number of new projects tourists will want to experience. 16It’s the happiest city in China.If visiting a place with happy locals is a priority for you, there’s no better city to hit than Chengdu. It has been voted the happiest city in China for 12 continuous years by an annual survey conducted by Oriental Outlook. 17It has got one most beautiful bookstore in China.The new location in Dujiangyan is the second Zhongshuge bookstore in the provincial capital. 18 Inspired by Dujiangyan’s ancient irrigation system, the new bookstore has its own features.

ALondon and Paris are two of Europe’s biggest tourist destinations,just a few hours away from each other by road or rail and an hour’s distance by air.What about the train-ferry combination that many recall fondly from their childhoods?Well,though it’s budget-saving, this option is too time-consuming today,so better leave it to your memories.Since the UK is not part of the Schengen Area,passengers need to go through passport control prior to boarding.Air trips:Though flying between London and Paris is by no means recommended,there are still a few people traveling between the two dynamic cities by air.A very low one-way fare is possible through advanced booking,but of course it’s rare,and that doesn’t include the taxi and rail fares traveling to and from the airports.One-way fares from Paris can be as low as€49;From London,Air France flies with fares as low as£39(€46),and British Airways as low as£48(€56).Rail trips:The only direct train between London and Paris is the Eurostar,which travels15-17 times per weekday.Eurostar’s2015edition trains can make the journey in two hours at speeds of up to320km/h.Besides,they offer good seating space.Fares begin at a reasonable£58(€68),round trip;The earlier you book,the more you save.Bus trips:The bus is by far the least expensive and longest way to travel between Paris and London. Eurolines and OUIBUS are two major bus lines traveling between the two capitals.The journey takes between seven and nine hours.Both lines advertise free Wi-Fi.One-way Eurolines fares begin at€15;One-way QUIBUS fares begin at€15too,but early bird sales can even lower the fare.21.Which way is probably the most expensive for a round trip?A.By train-ferry.B.By air.C.By rail.D.By bus.22.What special service does the bus trip provide?A.Passport free boarding.B.Taxi pickup.C.Good seating space.D.Free Wi-Fi.23.What do the trips have in common with each other?A.They are cheaper if booked ahead of time.B.There are different competing companies.C.They are more expensive from the Paris end.D.There are still additional fees to be included.BFinding a suitable name for a baby is a big deal in China.When picking out a Chinese name,parents usually select two or three characters that have a carefully thought out meaning, but when deciding on an English name,many of them struggle.That’s where Jessup and her company,Special Name,come in.In the last few years,Jessup has helped name677,900 Chinese babies,and earned over$400,00in the process,more than enough to pay her college fees.Jessup came up with the idea for Special Name in2015,after accompanying her father on a business trip to China.One of her dad’s business partners,a Mrs.Wang,asked her to help choose an English name for her daughter.Jessup felt honored and quickly realized the importance of choosing a proper name in Chinese culture.The woman wanted people to be surprised by the things her daughter could achieve,so Jessup suggested the name“Eliza”after the character Eliza Doolittle from the play Pygmalion.Mrs.Wang seemed delighted with Jessup’s choice.“If Mrs.Wang needed this service,maybe other parents would as well,”Jessup thought.After returning to UK,Jessup borrowed£1500from her parents and paid a web designer to build a website.She then spent her free time filling up a database with around4,000 English names associating them with five major personality characteristics,like honesty and optimism.In the beginning,Jessup offered the service for free to promote the website,but later,she started charging fees.The business is almost completely self-sufficient,requiring only a small team in China that manages technical operations.She updates the database each month, allowing her to focus full-time on studies.24.What’s the purpose of Special Name?A.To help Chinese teens go abroad.B.To strengthen children’s personalities.C.To pick an English name for a Chinese baby.D.To make a deal with Chinese parents.25.What inspired Jessup to set up Special Name?A.A suggestion from a business partner.B.Her interest in Chinese culture.C.A Chinese mother’s request.D.A character from a play.26.What did Mrs.Wang want her daughter to be in the future?A.A woman with achievementsB.A famous actress.C.A successful businesswoman.D.A western culture expert.27.What can we infer from the last paragraph about Special Name?A.It offers free service.B.It’s updated every day.C.It’s operated completely by itself.D.It is easy to manage.CScientists say they have developed a system that uses machine learning to predict when and where lightning will strike.Researchers report the system is able to predict lightning strikes up to30minutes before they happen within a30-kilometer area.Lightning is a strong burst of electricity in the atmosphere.Since it carries an extremely powerful electrical charge, it can cause very deadly results.European researchers have estimated that between6,000and 24,000people are killed by lightning worldwide each year.For this reason,climate scientists have long sought to develop methods to predict lightning.The system tested in the experiments uses a combination of data from weather stations and machine learning methods.The researchers developed a prediction model that was trained to recognize weather conditions that were likely to cause lightning.The model was created with data collected over a12-year period from12Swiss weather stations in cities and mountain areas.The data,related to four main surface conditions:air pressure,air temperature,relative humidity(湿度)and wind speed,was placed into a unique machine learning algorithm(算法),which compared it to records of lightning strikes. Researchers say the algorithm was then able to learn the conditions under which lightning happens.The researchers test-ran the system several times.They found that the system made predictions that proved correct almost80percent of the time.“It can now be used anywhere,”the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology said in a statement.The researchers plan to keep developing the technology in partnership with a European effort that aims to create a lightning protection program.The effort is called the European Laser Lightning Rod project.Scientists working on the project are experimenting with a laser technology that could someday control lightning activity,transferring lightning charges from clouds to the ground.They hope that such technology can one day be used as protection against lightning strikes.Possible uses could be at stations,airports or places where large crowds gather.28.Why was the system developed?A.To keep track of lightning deaths.B.To meet people’s curiosity about lightning.C.To protect people from lightning strikes.D.To take advantage of the energy of lightning.29.What is special about the system?A.It collects data samples from around the world.B.It involves the use of a machine learning algorithm.C.It was test-run several times before being put into use.D.Its success owes greatly to a European effort.30.What will the researchers do in the next stage?A.Prevent the formation of lightning.B.Get lightning striking under control.C.Inspire the study of a laser technology.D.Raise the accuracy of lightning prediction.31.What can be a suitable title for the text?A.A system of Controlling LightningB.A Theory of Employing LightningC.A Method of Forecasting LightningD.A Model of Creating LightningDTo many people,honey bees symbolise wealth,sustainability and environmentalism.But as a honey bee researcher,I have to tell you that only the first item on that list is defensible. Although they are important for agriculture,honey bees,which are usually imported from outside the local area,also disturb natural ecosystems by competing with native bees.For several years the media has told us that bee populations are under threat.In response to this media campaign to“save the bees”,raising honey bees has become a popular hobby. But as a species,honey bees are least in need of saving.Much media attention is given to honey bees at the expense of native bees,and this has led many citizens-myself once included-to mistakenly believe they are doing a good thing for the environment by raising honey bees.Unfortunately,they are probably doing more harm than good.“Beckeeping is for people;it’s not a conservation practice,”says Shelly Smith,an environmental science professor.“People mistakenly think keeping honey bees also helps the native bees,which are at risk of extinction.That’s wrong.”Smith and her research team recently surveyed one thousand local people in Canada and found that they had a surprisingly poor understanding of bee types and their roles in promoting flower growth.Most people’s attention is on saving honey bees when,from a conservationist’s point of view,native bees are the ones in more need of support.“To make matters worse,beekeeping companies and various non-science-based projects have financially benefitted from the decline of native bee populations,”Smith explains.“These companies pretend they are interested in saving bees but their actions are actually damaging the native bee populations.”The introduction of honey bees increases competition with native bee populations for food,putting even more pressure on the wild species that are already in decline.Honey bees are extremely efficient food gatherers and take over almost all local flower resources,thus leading to damaging competition-that is,where one species uses up a resource,not leaving enough to go around.32.Which statement does the writer argue for?A.Honey bees endanger native bees.B.Honey bees are a symbol of wealth.C.Honey bees are important for agriculture.D.Honey bees can defend natural ecosystems33.What can be inferred from Paragraph2?A.Beekeeping is still a popular traditional hobby.B.The media is responsible for misleading the public.C.Citizens attempts’to protect the environment are effective.D.The media campaign has failed to promote honey bee businesses.34.What surprised Shelly Smith’s team?A.Beekeeping companies’making great profits.B.The quick expansion of bee-friendly habitats.C.The public’s ignorance of bee varieties and roles.D.Insufficient attention given to saving honey bees.35.How does the writer develop the last paragraph?A.By listing examples.B.By making comparisonsC.By analysing survey data.D.By explaining cause and effect.第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

It is a good city for cycling because it is flat and there are plenty of places for bicycle parking. Today some people call Amsterdam “City of Bicycles” because of the convenience for bicycles there.In the 1960s, a group of cycling fans had an idea. They believed that it would be better for everybody if cars weren’t allowed in the city center and only bicycles were. They were hopeful that this would help to save energy, reduce pollution and provide free public transport. The group painted hundreds of bicycles white and placed them in lots of neighborhoods around Amsterdam for people to use. Then a problem came-- thieves took all the bicycles within weeks!However, more than thirty years later, the “white bike’ is back in town--this time with a computer chip(芯片) to record its every move! To take a bicycle, you have to insert(插入) a special card. The new “ white bike” is not actually white but is an unusual design with bright colours. The bikes are parked at special parking places and people who want to use them have to take them to another special parking place that has enough room.There is already less traffic in central Amsterdam, because both locals and tourists have been using the white bikes. Instead, thanks to the good ideas of lots of people, like the cycling fans in the 1960s, many people around the world have been enjoying city centre streets without cars many years.4.Amsterdam is called the “City of Bicycles” because of_________.A.the cycling fans thereB.the appearance for bicyclesC.the convenience of bicyclesD.the quality of bicycles5.In the 1960s, some cycling fans hoped bikes could_________.A.be specially designedB.help to save energyC.be placed anywhereD.be painted in different colours6.Why did the first “white bike” plan fail?A.There were not enough parking places.B.The government allowed people to drive cars freely.C.Thieves took all the bikes within weeks.D.People were tired of riding bikes.7.What do people use if they want to take a “white bike” in the city?A.A special computer.B.A common chip.C.A special card.D.A white key.3.（12分）CMr. Guo is a teacher from Xi’an.He asked his students to hand in their homework through a QR code （二维码）.“We spent an hour or two in class learning how to generate （使产生）the codes, and in the end everything gets easier.”Said Guo,“When students finish the homework, they keep it on WeChat.Then, each student makes his own QR code and gives it to me.So I can check their work anywhere using my computer or telephone.”The QR codes can be sent to Mr. Guo by email, QQ and WeChat. When Guo scans his students’ QR codes, their homework appears on his phone.He finds that their homework becomes more creative, with many pictures, music and even videos.Guo’s students like the new way and think it is interesting.“We are living in the information age.Many students like to work with computers, which makes learning more fun.” said Tingting, a student of Guo’s.“The paper is not easy to keep, but the code is easy to keep and share.” Guo said, “It is worth trying to use new technology in cation itself is a kind of creation.I don’t want my students to fall behind the times.”However, some parents are worried . They are afraid that their children will spend too much time surfing the Internet and less time communicating with teachers . But in fact, it’s unnecessary . Students still need to look up information in books and write it down when they do their h omework.They only use the codes when they hand in their work, which doesn’t take them too much time. Also for teachers, it allows them to check the students’ work at any time.And it’s also an easy way to share homework with other students.8.What makes Mr. Guo special as a teacher?A.He doesn’t give students homework after his class.B.He asks his students to hand in homework in a new way.C.He gives his students much creative homework after class.D.He teaches on WeChat, instead of in the traditional classroom.9. ____________ can be sent to Mr. Guo by email, QQ and WeChat.A.The QR codesB.The homeworkC.The examination resultD.The teaching10.How do the students do their homework now?A.More quickly.B.More honestly.C.More creatively.D.More easily.11.The writer thinks the new way ___________. .A.is not really necessaryB.has more disadvantagesC.does not work well for teachersD.will benefit both teachers and students4.（12分）DGoing green seems to be fad(时尚)for a lot of people these days. Whether that is good or bad, we can’t really say, but for the two of us, going green is not a fad but a lifestyle.On April 22, 2011, we decided to go green every single day for an entire year. This meant doing 365 different green things, and it also meant challenging ourselves to go green beyond easy things. Rather than recycle and reduce our energy, we had to think of 365 different green things to do and this was no easy task.With the idea of going green every single day for a year, Our Green Year started. My wife and I decided to educate people about how they could go green in their lives and hoped we could show people all the green things that could be done to help the environment. We wanted to push the message that every little bit helps.Over the course of Our Green Year, we completely changed our lifestyle. We now shop at organic stores. We consume less meat, choosing green food. We have greatly reduced our buying we don’t need. We have given away half of what we owned through websites. Our home is kept clean by vinegar and lemon juice, with no chemical cleaners. We make our own butter, enjoying the smell of home-made fresh bread. In our home office anyone caught doing something ungreen might be punished.Our minds have been changed by Our Green Year. We are grateful for the chance to have been able to go green and educate others. We believe that we do have the power to change things and help our planet.12. It was difficult for the couple to live a green life for the whole year because_________.A. they were expected to follow the green fadB. they didn’t know how to educate other peopleC. they were unwilling to reduce their energyD. they needed to perform unusual green tasks13. What did the couple do over the course of Our Green Year?A. They tried to get out of their ungreen habits.B. They ignored others’ ungreen behavior.C. They chose better chemical cleaners.D. They sold their home-made food.14. What can we infer form the last paragraph?A. The government will give support to the green people.B. The couple may continue their project in the future.C. Some people disagree with the couple’s green ideas.D. Our Green Year is becoming a national campaign.15. During the Green Year, according to the text, which of the following is TRUE?A. They never bought meat.B. They cleaned their home by using chemical cleaners.C. They tried to make some food for themselves.D. They sold the things they don’t need on the Internet.二、阅读七选五（本题共计1小题，总分15分）5.（15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。

I often mix up tenses, leading to low scores on my writings, What’s more, I s truggle to find appropriate wordsto express myself accurately. Despite my massive efforts to expand my vocabulary, words still fail me when I need to write. In addition, I find it difficult to make my writing well-structured and coherent, which frustrates me a lot.I’d appreciate it if you could give me some practical suggestions on my problems. Looking forward to your reply.Yours,Li Hua第二节(满分25分)Before I knew it, I had only one day left for the project. In a panic I quickly glued together whatever materials I could find, my hands shaking with the weight of each hasty decision. The finished result looked miserable. However, several of my classmates, including Nate, had created amazingly detailed buildings. They used materials like clay, wood and so on and their constructions were highly praised by Mr. Smith. When I saw their models, I felt even more embarrassed about mine. It was apparent that they had put a lot more time into the assignment than I had.That taught me a great lesson. I learned from that day the importance of deciding on my priorities and budgeting my time. From then on, I tackled things a lot earlier instead of putting things off until tomorrow. As a result, not only did I finish my tasks ontime, but I also felt better because I didn’t have to panic at the last minute. At the end of the semester, my work was chosen by Mr. Smith on another occasion. Seeing my change, my parents and my sister were so proud of me. It dawned on me that getting things done on time instead of being a procrastinator really counted.听力录音稿Text 1M: Do you have any idea what’s wrong with my houseplant It gets plenty of sun and enough plant food...W: Are you watering it too often Remember this plant comes from the desert where there’s hardly any rain.M: Ah..Maybe that’s the problem!Text 2M: It seems to be human nature to pursue what we don’t have. Tall people want to be shorter, and short people want to be taller... W: I know. For example, when I was younger, my cousin always wanted my golden hair, and I wanted dark hair like hers.Text 3W: Hi, are there any tickets left for tonight’s concertM: Sorry, they’re sold out. But I can put you on the waiting list, in case there are any cancellations tonight. Would you like me to do thatW: Oh, yes, please. Let me give you my phone number.Text 4M: Oh, this is so annoying! We’ve been driving around for ages, and I haven’t seen a single space.W: There’s a street party going on in town today. That’s probably why it’s busy. Let’s try the supermarket... You can park there for free as long as you buy something.Text 5W: So, tell me a little bit about the character you played in your new film Last Weekend.M: Well, Jake is a sort of the ‘everyman’ character. He doesn’t have any special talents. In fact, he lives a pretty boring life, until his old friend Maggie returns to town...Text 6M: Can I borrow your phone for a second Mine is dead, and I can’t find my charger.W: Sure.M: Thanks. Hey, what’s wrong with your screen It’s all dark and the colors look strange.W: Oh! I’ve been using an app called “Sunset” to help me sleep at night.M: Really HowW: Well, studies show that too much blue light from screens can make sleeping difficult. So, in the evenings, the app puts a red filter (滤光器) over the screen to cancel it out.M: Oh, interesting. Does it helpW: Yeah, I think so! I also listen to white noise, which helps me fall asleep too.Text 7M: Can we do something about the temperature in here I have so many emails to deal with today, but my hands are so cold that I can hardly type my report!W: I know. I’ve been struggling too. But the heat probably won’t be turned on until the end of the month.M: Why notW: It’s a part of the company’s plans to save energy.M: Well, I can understand that. But how are we supposed to work in these conditionsW: I guess we always have the choice to work from home.M: True. But before my youngest daughter starts school, it’s just too difficult for me to do that. I wouldn’t be able to focus.W: Then I think we should talk to the boss about what can be done, otherwise people will start getting ill.Text 8W: Well, here we are! I can’t wait to get inside and see what’s on offer!M: I heard this year’s Mini Fair is going to be even bigger and better than last year’s.

They looked so real.W: Wow!M: I’m hoping t he guy who sells them is here again this year.W: I hope so! Now that I’m satisfied with the inside part of my dolls’ house, I want to focus on creating the garden. So, it would be great to get some little plants and trees. What about youM: I want some little model cars and people to add to my train station scene. But I need to find a toilet first.W: Over there, by the restaurant hall.M: Great. Meet you in five minutes, by the ticket desk.Text 9W: Hi, are you here for the tourM: Yes, I’m Michael Green. Are you the head girlW: That’s right. I’m Jayne Palmer. You look a bit older than the kids I usually show around the school!M: Ha-ha! Yeah, I’ll be sixteen next month.W: My birthday is in October, too!M: ReallyW: Yeah! So, why are you changing schoolsM: Well, my mom got a new job in this area, so we’re moving here. I’ve heard good things about this place.W: Well, as you can see, we have some great facilities... Here are the basketball courts. Then just behind them, you’ll see the football field and the running track. And that building over there is our swimming pool.M: Wow! There wasn’t room for anything like this at my previous school. I was on the swimming team, but we had to travel to use the city pool for our practices.W: Well, we’ve certainly got plenty of space. The arts teaching here is also excellent. We have a music studio and our own theater. M: Amazing!W: So, where would you like to go firstM: Well, I’m quite interested to see the science facilities. I’m hoping for a career in medicine.W: Okay, great! Well, the laboratories have all been updatedrecently, so we’ve got some really good equipment. Follow me. Text 10On my recent business trip to Shanghai, I met up with a local friend who took me out for a very interesting evening meal. At the Community AI Canteen, everything is done by robots. When you walk in there, you place your order on a screen. Using robotic arms, the intelligent cooking system then cooks your food before packing it up... It even adjusts the temperature, depending on whether you want to eat it straight away or take it home with you! To pay, you place your food on a smart cash desk, which immediately calculates (计算) the cost. There’s even a 24-hour noodle machine just outside, which offers hot and fresh food around the clock. The canteen offers a huge amount of choices and the dishes taste great. It is really fun to get “a taste of the future”. However, I’m not sure I would like all restaurants to be run by robots. I can see the benefits for busy families or office workers needing a quick lunch, but what about lonely older people who would miss the human touch I do think we will see more places like this in the future, though. At best, a human waiter can serve around 100 people in a day. The AI system can serve double that figure, making it good for business.荆州中学2024-2025学年高二上学期9月月考英语试题命题人：审题人：（全卷满分150分考试时间120分钟）第一部分听力(共两节，满分30分)第一节(共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分)听下面5段对话。

An advertisement.C. A journal entry.D. A study report.I arrived home from work, my mind racing. I was scheduled to perform an experiment using a pricey piece of equipment, but I had spent the whole day worrying about the experiment which was on the top of my agenda, and I amazingly longed to shut off my anxious thoughts. So after dinner, I made a cup of hot chocolate, stretched myself on my sofa, and opened a page. Almost instantly, my mind left behind the details of experimental design and stepped into a land of monsters, magic dust, and man-like bears comprising a wonderful world distinct from my daily life. It was exactly what I needed.Growing up, I was virtually never a big fan of novels. My classmates would be crazy about the latest Harry Potter book, while my copy sat collecting dust on a shelf. Instead, I would choose to read through the reference books related to my disciplines for better grades. After I started graduate school, extracurricular reading didn’t appeal to me at all but I spent most of my time on campus digesting research papers an d textbooks and my mind couldn’t handle processing fact-filled nonfiction books at home, too. So I knew that I needed to find a way to enjoy reading again.To help me stick with it, I made a New Year’s resolution: I would read two fiction books per month for the entire year. The result was an almost instant appreciation of fiction, along with many unexpected results including ones that have benefited my schoolwork.What surprised me the most was how much I learned. Some of the best books I read were historical fictional stories happening in a realistic historical setting. I learned about life in different countries as well as struggles people there faced during difficult periods in their histories. The books have helped me build sympathy and understanding, with an unexpected benefit: I’ve started to think more deeply about the diversity of issues in the scientific community and could serve it, heart and soul.4．What did the author do to wipe out the anxiety?A. He drowned it in chocolate.B. He escaped into a fantasy world.C. He slept on the sofa leisurely.D. He conducted an experiment.5．What does the author mean by the underlined part in Paragraph 2?A. Reading novels was a waste of time.B. Reading a good book was time well spent.C. He was too busy to take good care of his books.D. The Harry Potter book wasn’t as good as expected.6．How did the New Year’s resolution benefit the author?A. More sympathy went out to him.B. His moral values were strengthened.C. He learned much about religious diversity.D. He gained new insight into his academic discipline.7．What does the author think of the impact reading fiction books has on himself ?A. OverestimatedB. UnderestimatedC. FavourableD. TemporaryCarlos Slim’s proposal that we work a three - day week sounds crazy. But many, in 1922, thought Henry Ford crazy when he announced that his staff would work a five-day week.Our working week seems normal to us because it is what we all always do. He certainly could be for those he was most concerned about when he made his three - day - week statement at a business conference in Paraguay: the workers who are not ready to retire. As Mr. Slim said, it no longer makes sense for people to stop working in their fifties or sixties when they may still have up to a third of their lives ahead of them. “People are going to have to work for more years, until they are 70 or 75, and just work three days a week - perhaps 11 hours a day.” he said.Keeping older employees at work makes sense for societies, especially those with a diminishing number of young people who are expected to support long - living retirees.He appeared to be suggesting that these short - week workers earn the same as they did full - time. That is what happens at Telmex, his Mexican fixed - line phone company, where those qualified for retirement can choose to work four - day weeks on full pay.Older workers elsewhere might prefer shorter weeks on reduced pay - and eight or nine - hour days rather than 11. Their companies might value keeping their experience while saving money on their salaries. What about everyone else? There are those who are unemployed, or in unstable jobs, who would be delighted to have three secure, well - paid days of work a week.Shorter weeks don’t work in every job, but they work in more jobs than most tradition - bound managers think. Agreeing to them requires two shifts in management thinking. The first is the realization that much of the time spent in offices is wasted anyway. Second, senior executives need to understand that the best way to measure people is by the work they produce - not by how much time they spend at their desks.8．According to paragraph 2 why did Mr. Slim think it unwise for people in their fifties or sixties to retire ?A. Because they have longer life to live in their future.B. Because they have children and old parents to supportC. Because they have much interest in their present work.D. Because they have more experience than young workers.9．What can we infer from the passage?A. The decision of working five days a week by Ford was considered normal in the past.B. Old people continuing wo rking can reduce young people’s pressure to support their old parentsC. Some companies don’t want their old workers to go on working because they can save money.D. Much time spent at work is wasted if managers don’t agree to reduce old employees’ working time.10．What does the underlined phrase “in tune with” mean in the last paragraph?A. Different from.B. Superior to.C. Far from.D. Consistent with. 11．What is the best title for this passage ?A. Retire Or Not, This Is A Question!B. Shorter Weeks Is Welcome By AllC. Working Three Days A Week: A Great IdeaD. Carlos Slim - Crazy For More Resting TimeDreams, according to Carl Jung, reveal a certain amount of reality hidden during waking consciousness. In Jungian philosophy, the conflict and chaos experienced in dreams finally bring order to our lives. While Jung’s mystical theories are debatable, he was not mistaken about the importance of dreaming. A growing number of reports show that a continuous lack of dreaming is damaging our waking hours in many ways.This trend is causing damage to our immune and metabolic (新陈代谢的) systems, let alone the electronic products that keep us up late at night are ruining our sleep patterns, which has long-term consequences on our memory system. One study showed that not allowing mice to have adequate amounts of REM (Rapid Eye Movement) sleep, the stage in which we dream, the mice couldn’t strengthen memories.You might think this is just a sleep problem, but dreaming is inseparable from our nighttime rest. We sleep in cycles, each lasting about 90 minutes; in a sleep cycle, we go through non-REM sleep before hitting REM. As the night progresses, REM sleep periods increase in length while deep sleep (one of the stages of non-REM sleep) decreases. The longer we sleep, the more time we spend in REM, which is why we are often dreaming when waking up in the morning. If we sleep less than seven hours, however, it becomes harder to achieve this level of REM.The combination of sleeping and dreaming acts as an emotional stabilizer. We recover from emotional hurt faster when we sleep and dream properly. However, we’re not getting enough sleep to cycle through the stages to take advantage of this natural circadian anti-depressant (抗抑郁剂) — dreams. Instead, we get depressed and turn to alcohol or medicines to get to sleep, which only makes things worse because even one drink leads to late REM while anti-depressants promote deep sleep at the expense of REM.We’re paying for this lack of dreaming in many ways. For example, a 2021 stu dy stated that compared with quiet rest and non-REM sleep, REM promoted the formation of associative networks and the integration (整合) of unassociated information. V olunteers that experienced more REM sleep were better equipped for solving problems requiring creative solutions.Rowan Hooper, the managing editor at New Scientist, writes that dreams that include an “emotional core” appear to be a main function of REM sleep and that we should look at sleep patterns as seriously as we do diet and exercise habits.12．What’s Carl Jung’s view about dreams?A. They cause chaos.B. They damage immunity.C. They reveal secrets.D. They mirror reality.13．Why is the sleep process explained in paragraph 3?A. To show a dream mainly occurs during REM sleep.B. To prove the minimum sleep time should be seven hours.C. To prove dream problems and sleep problems are attached.D. To show people often dream when waking up in the morning.14．What conclusion can be inferred from paragraph 5?A. REM sleep promotes creativity.B. REM sleep helps fight depression.C. The brain still receives new information during REM sleep.D. The brain is paying the price for having more non-REM sleep.15．What’s the main idea of the passage?A. The importance of sleep lies in dreams.B. The absence of dreams is terrible for us.C. Dreaming patterns are more important than we realize.D. Dreaming has mystical power of strengthening memories.二、七选五16．Travelling with some of your favourite people is an exciting experience. If done well, group travelling can be the most thrilling experience ever, filled with games, laughter, and unforgettable memories. ① _________ Read on for some of the things you need to note and do for an enjoyable experience.② _________Ideas are usually exciting when they are fresh. The longer you delay, the more you’ll find excuses not to go. Let all interested parties meet as soon as possible to decide on dates, locations and budget. It’s best to plan the trip three or four months in advance.Assign rolesFor the trip to be successful, it has to be well organized. You’re going on a trip far from home, not the shopping mall. This is why the group should assign a leader who would be responsible for planning and organizing the trip. ③ _________ Break them down further. For example, choose someone to handle booking a hotel and another person to take care of the meal.Budget pool④ _________ You can do a weekly or monthly payment plan before your trip. Once you decide how much would fund the trip, members can start contributing the money weekly or monthly. The leader would then use the money to pay for accommodations, meals, transportation and more while you’re on vacation. If there’s money left in the end, split it up or go wild one last night.Create a flexible itinerary（行程）An easy way to create and share an itinerary is through Google Docs. Add the group members to the document and give them permission to edit it. Suggest one or two optional activities per day which do not require advance bookings, such as a local hike or museum. ⑤_________A. Start early.B. Get fresh ideas.C. So how do you plan for your group trip?D. Collect a set amount from everyone before your trip.E. Don’t forget to create room for something unexpected.F. Also, divide the other responsibilities as they arise so that everyone participates.G. The group leader generally keeps in contact with everyone, handling most of the detailed work.三、完形填空（15空）The e-mail request came into Ekiben restaurant in Baltimore late on a Thursday afternoon: broccoli (花椰菜) topped with fresh herbs, diced onion, and vinegar.

It is very interesting and we enjoy watching it very much.Unfortunately, one day we were attentively watching the programme, completely absorbed in the breathtaking adventures of the hero and guessing what would happen next when suddenly the programme was interrupted by advertisements. We were all very annoyed about this. What an irritation!In this material world, enterprises need to make their products known to the public so that people can buy their products. At the same time, TV stations need to broadcast commercials to cover their own expenses. Broadcasting advertisements is an important way which will benefit the both sides. But I don't think it a very wise idea to wedge advertisements into the middle of a TV programme. This will do great harm to the audiences.The advertisement law was proclaimed not long ago. It states clearly that it is illegal to insert any advertisement during the showing of a programme. Every TV station should abide strictly by this law. But some TV stations just ignore this and pursue their own economic interests.Moreover., the commercials can hardly have the desired effect.

Philip introduced me to him, Stephen, and reminded me that Stephen would be taking one of my classes.Stephen looked at me. With a somewhat painful expression, he asked if my class was going to be hard and if he would be able to pass. I introduced all the things that he would be expected to learn. As we talked, I saw Stephen’s eyes getting big with fear.I told him to do all of his assignments, and to hand them in on time. Rather than being overwhelmed (压倒) by all of the work, I told him the most successful students made a mastercalendar of all the assignments so they could plan their workload.As the fall semester went on, I learned more of Stephen’s story. It had taken him longer to finish the assignments than most young people. Family members, including his mother, kept reminding him that he was a failure. But he kept at it and didn’t take them to heart. He told me that before coming to our college, no one believed he could manage it.Stephen didn’t become an A student. However, he managed to pass most of his courses by being in class every day, turning in all of his assignments on time and breaking down his studying into bite-sized parts. By passing course after course, he began to gain a measure of self-confidence.On his graduation day, he walked up to me, and said, “Thank you.”4.

Look before you leap.C. Haste makes waste.D. A good beginning is half done.CNot long ago, people could only buy organic food in small shops. Today it is common in most major supermarkets. The reason for the increase is that more and more people are demanding food grown without chemicals. Since the 1990s, organic farm production has gone up continuously. This pattern is expected to continue around the globe.Australia leads the world in land used for organic agriculture. It has four times as much land devoted to organic farming as all of Asia. However, most of the land is not very fertile, and it only produces a modest amount of food. Argentina is a distant second, followed by Brazil, the United States and China. In Africa, only a very small amount of land is registered for organic farming. That does not mean Africa relies on chemicals. In fact, many farmers do not use chemicals because they cannot afford them. Yet there are no programmes for these farmers to prove they do not use chemicals. Without these programmes, their food can never be approved organic.India has had the most dramatic recent increase in organic farming. Like many other countries, India sees continual growth in organic food sales around the world. This, of course, leads to growth in profits. Sales of organic food were more than doubled from 2000 to 2005. Like India, many countries are trying to increase commercial organic farming to get a share of the sales. This has led to criticism. Some people believe that organic farming should not just be about making money. They think the goal is to help the environment. Others say organic farming will not continue if it is not profitable. They say that people should be able to make money whileproviding healthy food for mankind.8. What is the passage mainly aboutA. Organic farming is growing around the world.B. Organic food has become much less common.C. People do not want to eat food with chemicals in it.D. Countries all want to make money from organic farming9. From the second paragraph, we can know thatA. India uses the least land to organic farmingB. Brazil uses less land to organic farming than ChinaC. the US is the fourth largest organic farming countryD. China and India have the same amount of organic farmland10. Why do people want to increase organic farmingA. Organic food is good for the Earth and the human beings.B. More and more people demand chemicals to grow food.C. There are fewer chemicals available to the human beings.D. Profits from organic farming help make approval programmes.11. It can be inferred from the passage that ________.A. people who eat food with chemicals have shorter lifespanB. India will soon become the largest country of growing organic foodC. more countries will farm organically as the environment getsworseD. there will be fewer organic farms if the demand for organic food goes downDImagine a team of humans and robots working together to process online orders. Real-life workers strategically positioned among their automated coworkers who are moving intelligently back and forth in a warehouse (仓库) space, picking items for shipping to the customer.This could become a reality sooner or later thanks to researchers at the University of Missouri, who are working to speed up the online delivery process by developing a software model designed to make transport robots smarter.“The robotic technology already exists,” said Sharan Srinivas, who spec ializes in data analytics and operations research. “Our goal is to best apply this technology through efficient planning. To do this, we’re asking questions like ‘given a list of items to pick, how do you optimize (优化) the route plan for the human pickers and robots ’ or ‘how many items should a robot pick in a given tour ’ Likewise, we have a similar set of questions for the human worker. The most challenging part is optimizing the collaboration plan between the human pickers and robots.”Currently, a lot of human effort and labor costs’ are involved with fulfilling online orders. To help optimize this process, robotic companies have already developed cooperative robots, also known as cobots or autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), to work in a warehouse or distribution center. AMRs are equipped with sensors and cameras to help them navigate (确定方向) around a controlled space like a warehouse. Srinivas said, “The robot is intelligent, so if it’s instructed to go to a particular location, it can navigate the warehouse and not hit any workers or other obstacles along the way. AMRs are not designed to replace human workers, but instead can work cooperatively alongside them to help increase the efficiency of the order fulfillment process.”“The one drawback is that thes e robots do not have good grasping abilities,” said Srinivas. “But humans are good at grasping items, so we are trying to balance the strength of both resources.”12. What does the underlined word “collaboration” in paragraph 3 meanA. Technology.B. Cooperation.C. Exploration.D. Similarity.13. What is the function of the sensors equipped on AMRsA. To look cool.B. To sense warnings.C. To direct AMRs’ way.D. To find human workers.14. What are AMRs bad atA. Jumping.B. Climbing.C. Walking.D. Holding.15. Which can be the best title for the textA. The Simple Use of RobotsB. Warehouse Workers and RobotsC. Making Transport Robots SmarterD. Transport Robots Invented by Sharan第二节根据短文内容, 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项, 选项中有两项为多余选项。

Originally Hislop desired to be a lawyer, but her father rejected paying law school tuition (学费) because he didn’t support women lawyers. Therefore, Teaching was the next best choice for Hislop with the help of her grandmother and aunt. She enrolled at Stanford in 1936, earning her bachelor’s (学士) degree in education four years later.It’s worth noting that even if she had received her degree, many school systems wouldn’t have hired her as a married woman. Not until the 1964 Civil Rights Act were these “marriage bars” that allowed for schools to not hire wives, and even fire teachers who got married after hiring, completely done away with. Gender (性别) inequality may have put a hold on her career, but they led to her becoming a powerful advocate for all students.Hislop worked to improve educational opportunities for all students, believing everyone should have access to higher education if they desired. Her efforts contributed to transforming Yakima Valley College from a junior college to an independent institution awarding associates, bachelor’s, and master’s degrees. This was achieved through her work with local and state legislators and the Community College Act of 1967. Hislop also served on boards of various education and arts-focused organizations.“I didn’t return to teaching, but I feel I put my teaching certificate to good use serving in committees and on boards and trying to improve educational opportunities every chance I got,” Hislop says. At 105, Hislop remains an active community member. Her son-in-law Doug Jensen notes, “The biggest lesson I’ve taken from her is that you never really stop learning. She’s a reader with a strong thirst for knowledge, and at 105 she’s still energetically moving and shaking.”4．What made Hislop choose teaching?A．Financial difficulties of her family.B．Family responsibilities.C．Her interest in education.D．Her father’s refusal of tuition.5．What can we know about the society when Hislop was young?A．Women faced many limits on career.B．Lawyer was the best job choice.C．Education was open to everyone.D．Men and women had equal chances. 6．What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?A．Hislop’s political ambitions.B．Hislop’s plan to build educational equality.C．Hislop’s desire to change education policies.D．Hislop’s efforts and contribution in education.7．Which of the following can best describe Hislop?A．Determined and devoted.B．Energetic and humorous.C．Wise but indecisive.D．Courageous but impatient.A popular nature park called the lees Railway Land Local Nature Reserve, was damaged by over use. Many of the park’s native wild flowers and grasses had disappeared after decades of use. “It was a degraded(退化的) woodland,” aid Dylan Walker, a wildlife manager in lees. “We weren’t seeing any plants coming up. People were loving our city nature reserve to death.”In March, dog owners were surprised when they saw an unusual offer: They could bring in their dogs and let them run free in the reserve, as long as the pumps would wear backpacks while playing. The Railway Land Wildlife Trust decided that using dogs would be a simple way to scatter(撒) native wild flower and grass seeds from the backpacks, which had small holes in them. As the dogs raced around and played, the seeds would drop from the backpacks in areas that humans couldn’t easily reach on the 25- acre reserve.Walker said he’d seen a story about two sisters in chide who had used their three dogs to scatter seeds in areas destroyed by wild fires. “We looked at that and thought it was a brilliant idea,” Walker said. “We also thought it was a good way to share how wolves once walked around the UK and picked up seeds on their fur, which were then dropped in other places.”Five months later, people in the lees area are beginning to see the dogs’ forts work. Small green shoots are appearing all over the forest floor. “It was a great pleasure to watch the dogs running around, especially in out-of-reach places that we couldn’t get into,” he said. “The dogscovered four times the distance that a human walker could do.” The restoration(恢复) project was a fun way to allow dogs to run off lash. Walker said, “We’re going to try it again this fall, and we hope to keep it going for a couple of years.”8．What happened to the Nature Reserve in lees according to paragraph 1?A．It was closed to the public.B．It had too many wild animals.C．It was over crowded with visitors.D．It suffered losses in some native plant species. 9．How did the Wildlife Trust carry out their seed-scattering plan?A．By hiring professional gardeners.B．By using small planes to spread seeds.C．By organizing volunteer planting events.D．By employing dogs with special backpacks. 10．What can be inferred about the seed-scattering project from the last paragraph?A．It has shown promising results.B．It has failed to meet expectations.C．It has caused unexpected problems.D．It has completely restored the park. 11．What would be the best title for the text?A．The Reduction of England’s City ParksB．Dogs Are Helping Restore a Nature ReserveC．Novel Gardening technique in Wildlife ManagementD．Balancing Recreation and Conservation in Nature ReservesMothers whose parents help out with child care are more likely to show their children parental warmth than mothers who do not receive any support, according to a study led by Nanyang Technological University, Singapore(NTU Singapore)and published in a journal.According to the NTU Singapore-led study, which analyzed data from 615 mother-child pairs in the Growing Up in Singapore Towards healthy Out comes(GUSTO)study, mothers of children aged 4 and a half said they used less frequent authoritarian (专制的) parenting styled when the child’s maternal grandparents stepped in to help. When their children were 6, mothers who had been supported by their own parents also reported using more positive parenting styled, which is characterized by warmth, responsiveness, and a friendly home environment. Interestingly, the study did not find evidence to support a connection between support from other types of care giving arrangements — paternal grandparents, both maternal and paternal grandparents, or domestic helpers — and the above-mentioned positive parenting approaches in mothers.Associate Professor Set oh, who is also the Director of NTU’s Early Cognition Lab, said, “While maternal grandparents, paternal grandparents, and domestic helpers may all provide instrumental assistance and emotional encouragement when it comes to child care duties, our study found that child care support from maternal grandparents was the most beneficial.” This finding supports the idea introduced in earlier research that maternal grandparents are in a unique position to provide support in a manner most aligned with the needs of mothers, possibly due to shared valued and easiness of communication.While the study was done in Singapore, the research team said the findings that tell maternal grand parental support from paternal grand parental support could be relevant across Asian countries, where grand parental involvement in child care is considered a cultural expectation. The research team added that it would also be interesting and meaningful to examine whether the benefits of maternal grand parenting reach adolescence and early adult hood to influence the family’s life tracks.12．What do we know about the mothers of children aged four and a half?A．They used less controlling parenting styled with the aid of their mothers.B．They received financial support from their mothers.C．They expected to work in senior positions.D．They did some housework alone regularly.13．How many kinds of assistance in caring for children were mentioned according to the text?A．Two.B．Three.C．Four.D．Five.14．What does the underlined phrase “maligned with” in paragraph 3 probably mean?A．Dealt with.B．Agreed with.C．Started with.D．Varied with. 15．What is the main idea of the last paragraph?A．The future arrangements of the study.B．The social meaning of high-quality child care.C．The significance of the study in other situations.D．The details of grand parentalinvolvement in child care.It’s normal to face math anxiety.

Every day, we shared stories from our day, which was a practice that had started years ago around our dinner table.I still remember clearly the night it all began. I was in high school, buried under my homework and feeling the weight of academic pressure.

Energetic and generous.CA herd of 15 Asian elephants has been making its way North across China since March 2020, and nobody is quite sure why.The herd has covered more than 500 kilometers since they wandered out of their home in the Xishuangbanna National Nature Reserve, located in southwestern China along its border with Laos and Myanmar. Authorities in China have tried to keep the animals away from populated areas with piles of fruit and vegetables and physical barriers. The herd was spotted last week on the outskirts (郊区) of Kunming.“One potential explanation for the elephant migration is overcrowding in the nature reserve these animals once called home,” says George, an elephant specialist at Colorado State University. Asian elephants are endangered, only around 300 surviving in China, but the population living in the reserves of the Xishuangbanna region has been growing in recent years. George says this wayward (任性的) group might have set out to find a new home with less competition for resources.“We’ve seen elephants expanding their range for decades now, as their populations increase, and they search for more food for the growing herd,” says Becky Chen, a conservation scientist at the Zoological Society of London who has studied elephant-human interactions. Other experts wonder if this is an example of a herd being misled by an inexperienced leader, or if the decision to roam was an almost random choice.Authorities have instructed residents along the route to stay inside if the elephants are nearby and avoid disturbing the herd. If the animals can’t be turned backto their former forested home, scientists and land managers may need to make provisions (准备) for the elephants to live permanently in Kunming.Chen says she hopes the situation will raise awareness of human-elephant conflict and elephant conservation. “What we have to learn is not how to solve the problem, but how to increase tolerance,” she says. “How can we use this event to let everybody pay attention to coexistence between people and animals?”8. Which is the possible reason for elephant migration?A. The population of people.B. Inhabitant loss.C. Annual migration.D. An act of a misleading head.9. What does the underlined word “roam” in paragraph 4 mean?A. Settle.B. Wander.C. Leave.D. Accompany.10. What may Chen agree with?A. It takes long to live in harmony with animals.B. It is important to reflect on how to live with animals.C. The increasing elephants threaten human’s settlement.D. The endangered elephants migrate due to human development.11. Which section does the story most likely come from in a newspaper?A. Nature.B. Health.C. Entertainment.D. Life.DIf electric bikes haven’t caught your attention yet, here’s one that might. Okapi, a Boston-based start-up, is producing a unique e-bike that bridges the gap between motorcycles and ordinary bikes.These aren’t normal bikes. If the futuristic appearance doesn’t give them away, the specs (规格) will: Okapi’s bikes have an all-electric range of up to 40 miles and a top speed of around 30 mph. Those aren’t crazy numbers, but they are more than adequate for an ordinary bike. The company’s selling its bikes for just under $3,000. That’s in line with other e-bikes’ pricing, but Okapi’s bikes look more appealing thanthe others, which try (with varying degrees of success) to look like normal bicycles.The bikes’ full suspension, hidden storage, and 1,000-watt motor all add up to a fun ride. Okapi’s design appears to be stronger and more able to handle the bumps (碰撞) than many other electric bikes, some of which appear to be modeled after old models. The main downside to Okapi’s design is that it supports a maximum of 280 pounds, which may stop some riders enjoying the bike.Okapi’s approach to the e-bike is a little different from others’. While more than one company tries to hide their electric powertrain (动力系统) underneath slim bodywork, Okapi puts it all out for the world to see in a big, square battery pack. There’s almost a futuristic dirt bike look to the bike, which is less awkward than it sounds.Electric bikes are getting cheaper, almost every day, but Okapi’s product charges a high price: The Starter Edition bike costs $2,989.98. The good news is that Okapi’s bike looks better and stronger than many offerings on the market today.Though they’re not the most mainstream product out there, e-bikes are worth the coin at almost any price. If you’re considering buying an electric bike, do it. E-bikes absolutely offer you an enjoyable and exciting experience, even on the cheaper end.12. What do we know about Okapi’s new bike?A. Its look is normal.B. Its speed is steady.C. It has a lower price.D. It has a limited load.13. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 4 refer to?A. The battery pack.B. Slim bodywork.C. The electric powertrain.D. Okapi’s approach.14. What is the author’s attitude toward e-bikes?A. Objective.B. Unclear.C. Conservative.D. Supportive.15. Which of the following could be the best title for the text?A. E-bikes: Cooler than You ThinkB. E-bikes: a Future Leader of BikesC. E-bikes: a Better Replacement for CarsD. E-bikes: a Mainstream Way of Transportation第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

But the instantly recognizable car was once everywhere. From the 1970s to the 1990s, more than 21 million Beetles were produced worldwide. Many adults in their 40s or above have a story about the Beetle, or at least a memory.Part of its universal appeal is its unique look. There’s something about the car that just makes people smile: its happy shape, its cheerful colors, and perhaps its small size. However, the smiles that beetles evoke, in people are not simply due to their design. It has a character almost. It has a sort of soul in a way. It’s beyond a machine. For the better part of a century this car has been a part in people’s lives. Seeing these cars on the road is like a time capsule. It opens people to memories and stories that might otherwise go untold. By allowing us to travel back in time, they remind us of what’s important. In today’s world, this car represents something very basic and earthy and genuine. Exactly the kind of travel we need right now.“My parents had three, a white one, then a red one, and then an orange one. It was the car I grew up with,” said actor Ewan McGregor. “They would put us in the back of the Beetle in Scotland and drive to France for camping holidays in summer. My first car was a 1978 Beetle and now I own two, parked at my home in Los Angeles.”McGregor thinks the car’s future is electric. He has recently turned his 1978 model into a fully electric car. “Moving forward, maybe we’ll just have to think; smaller cars, low emissions (排放), and something that makes us feel happy,” he says.4．When was the production of Beetles stopped in Germany?A．In the 1990s.B．In the 1980s.C．In the late 1970s.D．In the early 1960s.5．Which of the following best explains “evoke” underlined in paragraph 2?A．To keep an unpleasant feeling in one’s mind.B．To find out information about one’s character.C．To bring a feeling or a memory into one’s mind.D．To ask somebody to do something in a rude way.6．Why does Ewan McGregor own two Beetles?A．He wants to be reminded of his childhood.B．They are used to decorate his new home.C．He has too many children for just one car.D．His parents have left one of their cars to him.7．In which section of a newspaper does this text most probably appear?A．Advertisement.B．Lifestyle.C．Environment.D．Economy.Our city is in a sorry state. Outdoor pollution kills 4.2 million people a year, according to the World Health Organization. Concrete and tarmac (柏油碎石材料) absorb the sun’s rays rather than reflecting them back into space, and also replace plants which would otherwise cool things down. The continuous spread of buildings and roads thus turns urban areas into heat islands, discomforting residents and worsening dangerous heatwaves.A possible answer is trees. Their leaves may destroy at least some chemical pollutants (污染物) and provide shade. In 2019, researchers at the University of Wisconsin found that American cities need 40% tree coverage to cut urban heat back meaningfully. Unfortunately, not all cities — and especially not those springing up in the world’s poor countries — are blessed with parks, private gardens or even street trees in sufficient numbers.Miyawaki Akira, a plant ecologist at Yorkhama National University, in Japan, has developed a new way to increase unban greening. It is to plant miniature simulacra (微型仿制品) of natural forests in the unpromising abandoned areas. Dr Miyawaki has organised the planting of more than 1, 500 of these miniature forests, first in Japan, then in other parts of the world. Others are following in his footsteps. India is particularly keen. In Mumbai, more than 200,000 trees are found in Miyawaki forests throughout the city. Hyderabad started growing the largest individual forest of the lot in 2020.The Miyawaki method will never work out on a large scale. Relying on nature and the passage of time is probably the best for replanting extensive areas of damaged woodlands.But if your goal is to better your immediate neighborhood, rather than to save the planet from global warming, then Dr. Miyawaki might well be your man.8．What do we know from Paragraph 1?A．Plants are replaced to cool things down.B．Urban areas are becoming pollution hotspots.C．Buildings and roads make residents comfortable.D．Concrete and tarmac reflect heat back into space.9．What does the research in 2019 imply?A．Plants provide shade for urban residents.B．Tree coverage needs to be furtherexpanded.C．The situation in urban areas gets steadily worse.D．Trees cut down chemical pollution from factories.10．What can we learn about the Miyawaki method?A．It originated from India.B．It takes effect as expected.C．It makes no difference to Mumbai.D．It is finding increasing favour. 11．What is the passage mainly about?A．A practical strategy to save our planet.B．A flexible schedule to settle a challenge.C．A partial solution to the lack of urban greening.D．An effective measure toprevent global warming.People’s first memories are all autobiograpbical (自传式的), or memories of significant experiences in their lives, and these events typically didn’t happen before the age of 2 or 3. In fact, most people can’t remember things from the first few years of their lives a phenomenon researchers have called infantile amnesia.However, research suggests that infants (婴儿) can form other kinds of memories. Within the first few days of life, infants can recall their own mother’s face and tell it from the face of a stranger. A few months later, infants can show that they remember lots of familiar faces by smiling most at the ones they see most often.But if so, why do people experience infantile amnesia? Though it still isn’t clear whether it’s because we can’t form autobiographical memories, or whether we inst have no way to retrieve (找回) them, scientists have a few guesses.One is that autobiographical memories require you to have some sense of self.Researchers have tested this ability using a mirror recognition task called the rouge test. It involves marking a baby’s nose with a spot of red lipstick.Researchers then place the infant in front of a mirror. Infants younger than 18 months just smile at the baby in the reflection, not showing any evidence of recognizing themselves or the red mark on their face. Between 18 and 24 months, infants touch their own nose, even looking embarrassed, suggesting that they connect the red dot in the mirror with their own face and start to form some sense of self.Another possible explanation is that because infants don’t have language until later in the second year of life, they can’t form descriptions about their own lives that they can later recall. Finally, the hippocampus, which is the region of the brain that’s largely responsible for memory, isn’t fully developed in the infancy period.Scientists will continue to investigate how these factors might contribute to infantile amnesia.12．What can infants do in their first few months?A．Recognize familiar faces.B．Remember a series of events.C．Identify their own reflections.D．Memorize their family members.13．What does the rouge test show about babies between 18 and 24 months?A．They like looking in the mirror.B．They ignore the marks on their faces.C．They see their reflections as themselves.D．They enjoy playing with their reflections.14．What could be a cause of infantile amnesia according to the text?A．Infants’ lack of social skills.B．Infants’ undeveloped hippocampus.C．Infants’ inability to recall memories.D．Infants’ unusual autobiographical memories,15．Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A．How do kids form their memories?B．When do babies start remembering?C．How can we retrieve lost memories?D．Why can’t we remember being a baby?二、七选五Every day, we face a series of opportunities to do the right thing. Sometimes we seize(抓the moral high ground?Jessie Sun interviewed 952 people about the motivations(动机) for moral behavior and the changes they wished to make in their lives in order to become more morally good.When we think about morals, we often think about making “personal sacrifices(牺牲)” for the greater good. In Sun’s study, she found that nearly half of the participants said they were most encouraged to become more moral for themselves. 17 And fewer participants said that they most wanted to benefit friends and people in general.Moreover, many people believe that acting more morally—for example, being more thoughtful, more open-minded—would increase their own well-being. The more they believed that their moral change would have positive results for themselves, the more they reported being encouraged to make that change. 18 That was the most surprising finding in the study.19 Interestingly, participants generally expected possible harms to themselves and others if they were honest. You can imagine that some people regularly tell white lies to save other people’s feelings, and they believe it would be hurtful if they were honest.Researchers also asked people about the things they’d like to improve about themselves. If they’re extremely shy, they usually want to become more comfortable in social situations. But if they aren’t especially honest or thoughtful, they usually won’t improve those aspects of their lives on purpose. 20A．How can we become more moral?B．So, why do we make these choices?C．Being moral just isn’t what most people consider first.D．Being moral means different things to different people.E．But people see some disadvantages of being moral, too.F．In short, many people want to become more moral for their own benefits.G．Sixteen percent said that they most wanted to become more moral for their family.三、完形填空I don’t usually keep houseplants. They get either overwatered or underwatered. But afterhaving something green around.My friend gave me a lucky bamboo plant, which I told my wife I wanted to 22 myself.Caring for the plant gave me a sense of 23 when I felt useless. The disease 24 my ability to walk. As a doctor, I was used to being the one who offered 25 , not the one who received it. 26 the plant, as small an act as it was, connected me to a main part of my old identity.Over the next few months, I recovered from my 27 and returned to work. And the plant had doubled in height and its leaves were 28 and healthy. Both the tree and I were thriving (旺盛). Then, 29 , whatever I did, the leaves kept browning and dropping. I grew more and more 30 .“If my lucky bamboo dies, I might die too.” I couldn’t shake the feeling that the plant had become a(n) 31 of my health until I realized I had 32 connected my good care for the plant with my own survival.

In contrast to what some might hope, students 55 finish their homework exclaiming that they had great fun. Nor is homework an activity that students choose to undertake. It is 56 by a teacher for students to complete on the teacher’s schedule, with the teacher’s requirements in mind．So to have the fight 57 Will be of great help. Homework means business and the student should expect to work on it seriously. As in the work place, careless efforts and lack of self-discipline are likely to make the 58 impression.Teachers assign homework for 59 purposes. In some cases, teachers seek to review and solidifymaterial being covered in class; homework is also designed to 60 student learning beyond class lessons. As students mature, teachers often assign homework nightly in several subjects. Homework is also used to prepare students to handle new work, 61 in the ease of summer reading. Increasingly, school reforms call for homework to take the form of course projects, thus increasing its 62 to “real-life”job-related activity.Like jobs, homework can be appealing when its resources are well managed. Resources 63 sources of information—textbooks, of course, and increasingly, the Internet—but they also include a quiet space to work, materials and equipment such as calculators, paper or a computer, and others who cohabit (共面存在) in the homework environment.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D．Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read．（A）Saturday 28 April, : Dennis Tito was setting off on his holiday. Mr. Tito’s journey was certainly unusual! So was the transport he chose, and the price of his trip.The 60-year-old multi-millionaire from New York was sitting on board a Russian spaceship. He was on a journey to the International Space Station. It might have been a routine trip for the two astronauts who were traveling with him, but for him it was certainly no ordinary journey. Dennis Tito was the first tourist ever in space, and he had paid the sum of $20 million to go there. As the spacecraft left the earth’s atmosphere, Tito drank a glass of fruit juice to celebrate and looked down at the earth’s blue-green surface. Two minutes later, he was sick. Luckily it was only a minor problem. He soon recovered, and from then on enjoyed a smooth journey. When he arrived at the space station, there was a big smile on his face. “A great trip!”he commented．“I love space.”For a long time space travel was something for heroes. But all this is going to change. Companies like ProSpace are investing large amounts of money in space travel. They want space andspace travel to belong to the public, not just governments. There are other plans, like voyages through space from one side of the world to the other. Maybe we will be able to depart from New York at nine o’clock in the morning, and arrive an hour later-- in Tokyo! Such a schedule would allow the business traveler to return to New York on the same day, and still have eight hours for a meeting! 65．Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A．Business Travelers B．Space Tourists C．A Space Exploration D．A Frightening Adventure 66．According to the passage, Dennis Tito .A．enjoyed his trip very much B．was too sick to eat anything in spaceC．suffered a lot during the trip D．didn’t think the trip was worthwhile 67．Which of the following statements is tree according to the passage?A．Tito was the first American tourist in space.B．Tito contributed all of his wealth to his space trip.C．Tito visited the Russian Space Station during his trip.D．Space travel has become a routine for Tito since then.68．It can be expected from the passage that .A．space travel will belong to the public instead of governmentsB．airplanes will some day reach the speed of space vehiclesC．can will be able to circle the earth within less than an hourD．travel between two places on earth will be made through space69．According to the comments of the Physical Education teacher, Simon .A．is too talkative in the classB．likes to work with his classmatesC．doesn’t exercise his body at the fight timeD．becomes weak because he doesn’t exercise at all70．Which of Simon’s subjects will attract the headmaster’s attention in future?A．Biology and Maths.

It dictates the shape of the immediate future; it calms you down (it’s OK, it’s on a list somewhere) and it makes you feel good when you cross something off 0ist-making is standard practice in therapy for depression). It might even help you to get things done too. The more you have to do, the more you need a list and few people with high-powered jobs get by without them. Women always think they’re better at lis ts than men. Men tend to have Tasks which they assemble’ into Action Plans whereas women just have lists of Things To Do.James Oliver, psychologist, has created his own “time management matrix (模式)”. He writes a list of things to do and then organizes them into categories: things that have to be done straight away, other things that it would be good to do today, things that are important but haven’t got to be done immediately and things that are less urgent but tha t he doesn’t want to forget. “Using categories to order the world is the way the human mind works,” he says. “After that, you should divide things into levels of importance.” But he also warns, “If people get too absorbed in making fists, it doesn’t work. They have too many categories and lose their ability to decide which is the most important.”It’s all a question of what works best for you, whether it’s a tidy notebook, a packet of Post-it notes or the back of your hand．Having tried all these, student Kate Rollins relies on a computerized list,which is printed out each morning. “My electronic organizer has changed my life,”she says. “Up to now, I’ve always relied on my good memory, but now that I’m working and studying, I find I’ve got too much to keep in my head．”So what are you waitin g for? No, you’re not too busy to make today the first day of your upgraded time-managed life. In fact, there’s no better time titan the present to begin to take increased control of your work and life. So, get out your pencil and pen and make a list.72．The main purpose of making lists is to .A．help map out one’s future B．divide things into levels of importanceC．treat certain diseases such as depression D．organiz e one’s work and life reasonably73．We can learn from the passage that .A．good memory helps in list makingB．too much’ listing might be misleadingC．women usually make a lot more lists than menD．people with high-powered jobs make lists most74．The word “categories”in paragraph 2 most probably has the same meaning as“”.A．groups B．portions C．items D．areas75．In this passage the author intends to .A．suggest a way of raising one’s living standard B．introduce some ways of business management C．urge people to develop the habit of listing D．warn people not to rely on their memory（D）“Racism (种族歧视) is a grown-up disease,”declares the saying on Ruby Bridge’s website along with a photo of Mrs. Bridge today, a 6-year-old girl four decades ago. In the photo, she is walking up the steps of the William Frantz Public School in New Orleans, a little black girl accompanied by two officers who protect her on her way to school.Her name then was Ruby Nell. It was Nov. 14, 1960. She was the first black child to enroll at this all-white elementary school according to the court order to desegregate in New Orleans schools. Her story is moving -- she was a very courageous child -- and remains a significant proof against intolerance (不宽容) of all kinds. Ruby’s photo brings out another powerful image on her website: Norman Rockwells symbolic painting for Look magazine on Jan. 14, 1964, “The Problem We All Live With.”Rockwell was an illustrator of exceptional skill and charm. He produced a vast number of unforgettable images over a long career, many of them involving children. His American kids are innocent and appealing, but often, at the same time, decidedly naughty. His method was to photograph his models, and the resulting paintings were photographic．But it is revealing to see how the artist slightly changed facial expressions from photo to oil painting in order to make his paintings communicate with the viewer. Communication, even persuasion, lay at the back of his work; this was art for effect.“The Problem We All Live With”belongs to Rockwell’s later work, when he began openly showing his strong belief in liberty. This is a highly persuasive image. Before he arrived at the finalcopy, one sketch (草图) shows the little girl closer to the two officers following her than to those in front. In the finished picture, the girl seems more determined, independent, and untouched ． The unfriendly tomatoes thrown on the wall are behind her now, and she, is completely unaffected ．76．Ruby Nell was protected by officers on her way to school, because .A ．she was a little fighter against racismB ．she was very young, short and timidC ．she was the first black to study in an all-white schoolD ．she was chosen by the com t0be’wi’th white children77．According to the passage, “The Problem We All Live With” is a(n) .A ．social program for American childrenB ．famous painting by Norman RockwellC ．photo displayed on Ruby Bridges’ websiteD ．exhibition at the Norman Rockwell Museum 78．The word “desegregate ” in paragraph 2 probably means “ ”.A ．fight against the whiteB ．end racial separationC ．struggle for freedomD ．stop the black-white conflict 79．The main topic of this passage is .A ．how Rockwell encouraged Ruby to fight against racismB ．how Ruby won her fight to go to an all-white schoolC ．how Rockwell expressed his protest in .Iris workD ．how persuasive Rockwell’s earlier work of art is（E ）Directions: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each．green. A few albino people have red or pink eyes, but these are very rare. Many people believe that blue eyes are more delicate than brown eyes. In fact they are just as tough as brown eyes, although they. are 81 We only see part of the eyeball, although the whole eye is as big as a table tennis ball. Light enters the eye through the pupil and passes through the lens. The lens focuses the light onto the retina at theback of the eye. The retina sends the signal to the brain along the optic nerve. The image on the retina is actually upside-down, but the brain corrects it. As we get older our eyesight becomes worse. This82Our eyes are the most important of our five senses. We receive 80% of our information about the world through our eyes. We also send signals to other people with our eyes. Some eye signals are unconscious. When we look at something nice, our pupils get bigger. But when we don’t like something, they become smaller. We cry when we are unhappy and sometimes when we are very happy. But we can also control some eye signals. For example, we can wink at someone or raise an eyebrow. Sunglasses make someone appear mysterious or dangerous, because they hide that eyes and so we can ’t see the signals.83 characters always have large eyes, too. We can ’t actually change our eyes, but we can make them look bigger with make-up. Eye make-up isn’t new. Pic tures in the Pyramids show that the ancient Egyptians both men and women-used it. False eyelashes can make eyelashes longer. Eye shadow on the eyelids can make the eyes look bigger and more dramatic ．Glasses can also make eyes look bigger.84 ’s eyes for long, especially when they are very close. Eye contact can be very threatening, so people only do it when they want to threaten someone. It is also very intimate. This is why lovers gaze into each other ’s eyes. It ’s also why people don ’t look at each other in lifts.第II 卷 I ．TranslationDirections : Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.1．前天我们订购了二十台洗衣机(order)2．因为大雨,校运会将不得不推迟(put off)3．为了您的家庭幸福,务必遵守交能规则。
