Its Tropical Rainforest National Park is a paradise for animals and plants. If you go there, what can you enjoy?AnimalsThe park is home to 540 kinds of animals. Among them are Hainan gibbons (长臂猿), one of the world’s most endangered species. Hainan gibbons look like monkeys, but they have no tails. They usually eat fruits and leaves from more than 130 kinds of plants, mostly in treetops 15 meters above the ground.PlantsThe park is a “live museum” of plants. More than 3,600 kinds of wild plants grow there. It is also home to 133 kinds of national key protected plants. Cycas hainanensis is an example. It has big, feather-like leaves. It grows slowly, but can live up to 200 years. This ancient species probably was around when dinosaurs lived on earth.CultureThe Li and Miao ethnic (民族的) groups have lived in the park for generations, mainly in the central Wuzhishan area. From their houses to their clothes, you can taste their culture. Li and Miao people live in houses that look like upside-down boats. To keep away animals like snakes and ants, they build their houses above the ground.1．What do Hainan gibbons usually eat?A．Meat and fruits.B．Fruits and leaves.C．Meat and vegetables.D．Vegetables and insects.2．Why do Li and Miao people build their houses above the ground?A．To get close to nature.B．To protect wild plants.C．To bathe in the sunshine.D．To keep away some animals.3．In which section of a magazine may this text appear?A．Music.B．History.C．Travel.D．Education.One evening in December 2021, I stood on the stage and received a special award given to our team for our performance in the Model United Nations (MUN) (模拟联合国)Conference. The conference allows students to role-play as UN delegates (代表) to understand how the UN works and how the international relations develop.Behind the honor of the award was sweat on our own. When I was told that we had to add some details to our report presentation (展示), I was quite surprised and nervous, because it would make our presentation much more difficult. Fortunately, we finished our presentation thanks to everyone’s efforts.However, when the time of the conference came, something unknown happened. The placement of the tables and chairs upset us a lot. What was worse, the newest PPT with the background music was deleted on the computer. What was shown was only the original (原来的) PPT. We could only give our speeches based on our previous knowledge, with no PPT prompts to guide us.In the end, we did very well. From the first introduction to the final speech, every part was excellent. During the public review period, many judges walked over to give us praises.As one of our players said, the MUNers are confident and always moving forward. It was this honor that strengthened my determination to carry our MUN club forward to a bright future.4．What was behind the honor of the award according to Para.2?A．Some nervous players.B．The sweat on their own.C．Some live performances.D．The help from the teacher.5．What was deleted on the computer before the conference?A．The newest PPT.B．The added details.C．The first introduction.D．The final speech.6．Why did many judges walk over to us during the public review period?A．To give us praises.B．To perform with us.C．To tell us the result.D．To show us the way.For primary and middle school students, being able to cook will become a must in the near future. They will also need to learn how to plant vegetables, raise poultry and maintain home machines according to the new requirements.The Ministry of Education (MOE) recently released (发布) a new curriculum standard for labor education (劳动教育). Starting from the coming autumn term, students in primary and middle schools will take courses on labor skills at least once a week.二、七选五Advantages and Disadvantages of the Sleeping Position We spend about a third of our lives sleeping.

To learn how to make it from Grandma, I rose early that morning. Under her patient instructions, I practiced awkwardly. I first folded bamboo leaves into a triangle shape, into which I put some soaked rice and other fillings like beans or salted pork. Then I tied them tightly with a red string to secure the Zongzi. Simple as it looked, it took me quite a long time to master it. I was really happy not to quit halfway. Having been boiled in a pot for a while, the sweet-smelling Zongzi was ready. My family said it tasted so delicious!I feel proud and excited that I have grasped the skill of making the Chinese traditional food. How I wish to make it for you with my own hands!Yours,Li Hua第二节（满分25分）(One possible version)“Gary? Is that you?” Jason asked, eyes wide in surprise.Gary’s face turned red with embarrassment. “Why are you working here? Why didn’t you tell me?” Jason questioned, confused. “I... sorry, Jason...” Gary hesitantly responded, attempting to explain. Just then more customers poured in, waiting to place their orders. Seeing this, Jason interrupted Gary and told him to serve other customers first and talk about it later. Gary nodded thankfully. Watching Gary’s busy figure while seated in a corner, Jason was lost in thought. It dawned on him that Gary must have had some trouble, for Gary appeared exhausted and much thinner. Jason reflected, waiting restlessly.Having finished his work, Gary came up and sat with Jason. He apologized for not telling Jason the truth and explained why he worked there. Attentively listening to what Gary had experienced, Jason couldn’t contain his tears, regretting not having shared his best friend’s trouble earlier. He gave Gary a big hug and comforted him sincerely, “Gary, cheer up! Everything will be fine. I’ll help you.” From then on, Jason would assist Gary in serving customers from time to time. The two companions withstood setbacks in life together, time witnessing their strengthened bond of friendship.附：高二听力录音文稿Text 1W: It’s going to rain tomorrow so I’d better dry my washing today.M: Maybe there isn’t enough wind to get it dry. But the warm sun will probably be enough to do it.Text 2M: This city is so big. I understand why they think it’s like a forest. I almost got lost in the subway station.W: Don’t worry. You’ll get used to it. I think of it like a library because I always get lost there. Text 3W: Full marks? How did she do it? No one ever gets that score.M: And the strangest thing about Sandy is she never seems to have any questions in class.W: Yeah. And during breaks she is looking at her phone, not reading or anything like that.Text 4M: As you can see, all the vegetables on the menu are grown here in our garden. We promise all the dishes you order will be a farm-to-table experience!W: Wow, the food looks so fresh.Text 5W: So, this is Herbie, my snake. Want to hold him? Hey, don’t be scared.M: Umm… Okay. Are you sure he won’t bite? Wow, his skin is really smooth. He’s actually pretty cool!Text 6M: Excuse me, do you work at the university?W: Yes, I’m a teaching assistant.M: Can you help me? I’m a little lost.W: Are you a visiting professor?M: No, I’m a new student.W: Sorry, I just assumed that you’re a little bit older than the average student.M: Yes, I believe I’m not a typical university student.W: Well, you are never too old to learn.M: Exactly. Anyway, I’m trying to find the biology lab. Do you know where it is?W: Yes. It’s the next building over there. I’m going that way. I’ll walk with you.Text 7W: I’ve just joined the new gym that opened across the road from our office.M: How much was it to join?W: Well, there’s meant to be a 20-dollar joining fee plus a monthly membership fee of 10 dollars, but they gave me a reduced rate.M: Why was that?W: Because I was one of the first 100 people to join, I just needed to pay for a monthly membership fee. I signed up for the lessons for a month.M: That’s a good deal. Is it a large gym?W: Yes, it is spread over three separate floors, even including a swimming pool. I’ll be on the third floor a lot, I think.M: How come?W: That’s where the running machines are. You’d like the first floor.

W: I grew up on a farm, so I know that must have been a difficult decision.M: It was, but he got a good price for it, so he bought a boat.W: Does he sail it on the lake nearby?M: No, he sails it in the ocean. He recently sailed from Canada to Iceland.W: That must have been some journeys. Do you go with him?M: No, I get sick on a sail boat.W: Well, that’s a shame. Anyway, I need to help other customers.M: Not a problem. Thanks for your help.W: You’re welcome. It was nice chatting with you.Text 10W：There are many different ways to learn about a new culture. A good first step is to learn how to speak the native language. Even if the country speaks the same language as your own, you may find there are many unique words and sayings. Next, join in a cultural celebration. Some of the best events to take part in are holiday events, as these are usually based on traditions, and include traditional activities as well as food that you can try. If you enjoy the food, why not see if you can find some other food from that culture, or even have a go at making your own? For a more formal education, see if there are any museums, art galleries or shows based on aspects of that culture to visit. Lastly, the best way to learn about a new culture is to go there. That way you can do all of these things. When you visit a new country, don’t be afraid to ask questions. People love teaching others about their culture and will often feel proud of passing their knowledge on.。

AHere’s how you can take action and make sure you are doing what you can to reduce your personal carbon footprint when traveling this year.Before you goTurn off and unplug all of your non-essential electronic appliances.Experts say that 5-10 percent of the average family’s electric bill is from electronic appliances that are plugged in 24 hours a day.Televisions,computers,coffee makers,toasters and even lamps can suck up power.If you are gone for any extended period,consider turning down the temperature on your water heater since there is no sense in keeping that water hot if you are not going to be around to use it.Choose a different wayIf you have a little extra time to spare,driving or taking a train to your destination might be an option.And there are always the long-haul options like Megabus.If you do have to take a plane,fly non-stop.If you want to have a lower carbon footprint,avoid private jets even if you can afford them.At the hotelUtilize every conservation program that the hotel offers.Reuse your towels and turn off your air conditioning or heat before you leave for the day.Bring your own soap,shampoo and moisturizer,or at least take whatever is left of the hotel-supplied notions home with you to finish using there.Skip the morning printed newspaper and read it on your Tablet PC,phone or computer.DrinkingCarry a water bottle with you so that you don’t have to buy plastic bottles.Travel to certain parts of the world and you will understand why.There’s nothing more disturbing than seeing something made up of plastic bottles and bags.Halong Bay in Vietnam is a great example where this kind man-made pollution is clearly visible.()1.What should you do at the hotel in order to live a low-carbon life?e different towels every day.B.Obtain information in the morning.C.Bring the leftover soap for later use.D.Keep your tablet,phone or computer on.()2.Halong Bay is mentioned by the writer to tell us .A.it is polluted seriouslyB.it is an attractive destinationC.it is full of plastic productsD.it looks beautiful with plastic bottles()3.The text is most probably from.A.a science reportB.a business magazineC.an advertisementD.a website on green lifeBIt is the goal of politicians everywhere—how to win and keep the trust of voters.Now researchers at the University of St Andrew’s in Scotland say they may have the answer.They believe politicians could learn a lot from recent advances in science.A growing number of studies have shown that people do judge a book by its cover.Researchers say most of us make quick judgments about a person on the basis of how they look.Studies suggest that people are less likely to trust those with particularly masculine(男性的) features,such as a square jaw,small eyes or a big nose.“They are considered dominant(支配的) and less trustworthy,” says Ms Cornwell.“It doesn’t mean that men who look more masculine are less trustworthy—it’s just our first impression.” Those with less masculine features—larger eyes,a smaller nose and thinner lips are thought to be more trustworthy.The researchers are putting their science to the test at the Royal Society’s annual summer exhibition in London.They have copied the faces of Prime Minister Tony Blair,Conservative leader Michael Howard and Liberal Democrat leader Charles Kennedy stressing their dominant and trustworthy features.“We have used a computer program to change the shape of their faces and features.We hope it will help people to understand our work.”So should we expect to see them at the exhibition getting tips?“I don’t think it’s something they will want to try,” says Ms Cornwell.“It’s not really possible with television.We all know what they look like.”()4.The underlined word “them” in Paragraph 5 refers to .A.the researchersB.their featuresC.Tony Blair,Michael Howard and Charles Kennedyputer programs()5.According to the passage,we know that .A.facial features might give people some wrong impressionsB.people with good facial features must be trustworthyC.people with bad facial features could not be trustworthyD.we should judge people by their facial features()6.According to Ms Cornwell,we can infer that .A.the science will give politicians great helpB.politicians won’t think highly of the scienceC.politicians could be successful with the help of the scienceD.politicians will be satisfied with the science()7.What’s the best title for the passage?A.The Other Sides of Politicians.B.How to Win the Trust of Voters.C.How Science could Help Politicians.D.An Important Discovery for Politicians.CEducating girls quite possibly outputs a higher rate of return than any other investment (投资) available in the developing world.Women’s education may be an unusual field for economists,but raising women’s contribution to development is actually as much an economic asa social problem.And economics,with its emphasis on motivation,provides an explanation for why so many girls can’t receive education.Parents in low-income countries fail to invest in their daughters because they do not expect them to make an economic contribution to the family: girls grow up only to marry into somebody else’s family and bear children.Girls are thus seen as less valuable than boys and are kept at home to do housework while their brothers are sent to school—the prediction becomes self-fulfilling,trapping women in a vicious circle (恶性循环) of lack of attention.An educated mother,on the other hand,has greater earning abilities outside the home and faces an entirely different set of choices.She is likely to have fewer but healthier children and can insist on the development of all her children,ensuring that her daughters are given a fair chance.The education of her daughters then makes it much more likely that the next generation of girls,as well as of boys,will be educated and healthy.The vicious circle is thus transformed into a good circle.Few will disagree with it that educating women has great social benefits.But it has huge economic advantages as well.Most obviously,there is the direct effect of education on the wages of female workers.Wages rise by 10 to 20 per cent for each extra year of schooling.Such big returns are impressive by the standard of other available investments,but they are just the cating women also has an important influence on health practices,including family planning.()8.The author argues that educating girls in developing countries is .A.troublesomeB.rewardingbor-savingD.expensive()9.What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A.Girls will really make a less economic contribution to the family.B.Girls will be capable of realizing their own dreams.C.Girls will eventually receive the same education as boys.D.Girls will be increasingly dissatisfied with their life at home.()10.The author believes that a vicious circle can turn into a good one when .A.women care more about educationB.girls can gain equal access to educationC.a family has fewer but healthier childrenD.parents can afford their daughters’ education()11.The passage mainly discusses .A.unequal treatment of boys and girls in developing countriesB.the potential earning power of well-educated womenC.the major contributions of educated women to societyD.the economic and social benefits of educating womenDPeople have strange ideas about food.For example,tomato is a kind of very delicious vegetable.It is one of useful plants that can be prepared in many ways.It has rich nutrition(营养) and vitamin in it.But in the 18th century,Americans never ate tomatoes.They grew them in their gardens because tomato plants are so pretty.But they thought the vegetable was poisonous(有毒的).They called tomatoes “poison apples”.President Thomas Jefferson,however,knew that tomatoes were good to eat.He was a learned man.He had been to Paris,where he learned to love the taste of tomatoes.He grew many kinds of tomatoes in his garden.The President taught his cook a way for a cream of tomato soup.This beautiful pink soup was served at the President party.The guests thought the soup tasted really good.They never thought their president would serve his honored guests poison apples.Jefferson never spoke to his honored guests about the fact.()12.Tomato is a kind of.A.poisonous fruitB.poisonous vegetableC.tasty fruitD.tasty vegetable()13.After you read the passage,which of the following do you think is True?A.Americans never ate tomatoes after they began to plant them.B.Americans didn’t eat tomatoes before 19th century.C.Even now Americans don’t eat tomatoes.D.In the 18th century Americans ate a lot of tomatoes.()14.Jefferson learned that tomatoes were good to eat.A.while he was in ParisB.when he was a little boyC.because his parents told him soD.from books()15.From the passage we know all the honored guests invited by Jefferson were.A.people from other countriesB.from FranceC.people of his own countryD.men onlyⅢ.完形填空(共15小题,每小题2分,满分30分)阅读下面短文,掌握其大意,然后从每题所给的A,B,C和D项中选出最佳选项。

Language experts, however, will tell you that you’re never too old to learn a new language. As you get older, it can be more difficult to learn a new language, though.Children and adults learn new languages in different ways. For children, language is their life. They study for thousands of hours every year, because they need to learn languages to become part of their communities. Adults, on the other hand, are already part of a language community. Learning a new language means becoming part of another language community, and adults rarely get the chance to practice as much as young children do.Moreover, children learning a new language are expected to make mistakes. This gives them freedom when learning to be daring and confident. Adults, however, often feel pressured to be perfect when learning a new language. This can discourage many people and make it even harder to learn a new language.When young children learn a new language, they come to see various languages as a “normal” part of society.

Johnson was born in a black family in Arkansas City in 1918. His father died in an accident when John was six. He was reaching high school age, but his hometown offered no high school for blacks.Luckily, he had strong-willed (意志坚强的), caring mother. John remembers that his mother told him many times, “Son, you can be anything you really want to be if you just believe. She told him not to be dependent on (依靠) others, including his mother. “You have to earn success,” said she. “All the people who work hard don’t succeed, but the only people who do succeed are those w ho work hard.”These words came from a woman less than a third grade education. She also knew that believing and hard work don’t mean everything. So she worked hard as a cook for two years to save enough to take her son—then 15—to Chicago.Chicago in1933 was not the promised land (乐土、希望之地) that black southerners were looking for, John’s mother and stepfather could not find work. But there John could go to school, and there he learned the power of words—as editor of the newspaper and yearbook of Du Stable High School. His wish was to publish a magazine for blacks.While others discouraged (阻止、使气馁) him, John’s mother offered him more words具) to get the $500 he needed to start the Negro magazine.It is natural the difficulties and failures followed John closely until he became very successful.

山东省烟台市2023-2024学年高二上学期期中学业水平诊断英语试卷学校：___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解Europe has numerous islands where you can get closer to nature. Here are some of the best for getting away from the crowds.Schiermonnikoog, the NetherlandsSchier is primarily a national park, covered in forests and with some of Europe’s most untouched beaches. Only residents are allowed to drive cars on the island, which you can get to by taking a 45-minute ferry (渡轮). Once there, visitors can hunt for beautiful and specially-shaped stones washed ashore on the island’s wide white beaches, go diving or take surfing lessons along natural sandbanks.Flores, PortugalFlores Island in the westernmost stretches of the Azores is a nature lover’s dream. Deep blue lakes, vivid green valleys and boiling hot springs are among the otherworldly sights on the 55-square-mile volcanic island home to 3, 400 people, where you can arrive via flights from other Azorean islands.Naustholmen, NorwayVisitors can take ferries to reach this private island owned by Norwegian adventurer Randi Skaug, the first Norwegian woman to climb Mount Everest. Naustholmen guests spend their days going boating or hiking to the top of the Lofoten Islands for sunset views. They can also simply do nothing at all, surrounded by the silence and beauty of this remote place.Skyros, GreeceFor a more isolated (隔绝) experience, set your sights to the island of Skyros. One of 24 islands in the Sporades chain in the northwest Aegean Sea, Skyros is reached via flights from mainland Greece as well as by ferry from the mainland and other nearby Greek islands. With the exception of Skyros’ famous carnival (狂欢节) which puts the island into nonstop party mode —it’s a perfect place for swimmers to regis ter for a surfing class.1．What do Schiermonnikoog and Skyros have in common?A. They both have a national park.B. They both offer surfing lessons.C. They both give free ferry service.D. They both throw attractive parties.2．What can a tourist do in Naustholmen?A. Take a rowing-boat race.B. Climb the volcanic island.C. Enjoy the beautiful sunset.D. Pick up unique beach stones.3．Which destination suits tourists interested in hot springs?A. Skyros.B.

He used kites to move the boat and solar power to use lights and equipment on the boat. He expects his trip will earn him a Guinness World Record for Fastest Solo Atlantic Crossing by Kite Boat. He also hopes to help people understand the need to protect the oceans.The kite-powered boat reached top speeds of over 30 kilometers per hour. Lufinha traveled 6,400 kilometers in 25 days. The 38-year-old set out from Cascais, near Lisbon, Portugal on November 3, 2022, and arrived in Martinique on December 20, Lufinha was not at sea for all that time, however. He made a planned stop at the Canary Islands on November 8. But he had to stay longer than planned because of the powerful storm and he remained there until November 30.Lufinha made the crossing completely alone in a 7.2-meter-long and 5.6-meter-wide trimaran, a boat which has three long, thin parts, with a small room for sleeping and shelter. Lufinha used a hand pump (抽水机) to produce water for drinking and cooking. He said, “I have two such water makers, which I can pump and every hour I can make around four liters of water.” The water pump has a special filter (过滤器) to remove salt from the sea water. Lufinha used the water to add to dried food he carried with him on the boat.He called his trip “a big learning experience”. It was a big test of his adaptability. He learned most of all to look at his problems relatively. He had so many problems all of the time, such as kites getting torn and kites exploding (爆炸). And the only way not to suffer was to think, “It could be worse.” He said his way of thinking during the difficult crossing helped him get through it hour by hour, day by day, week by week until he finished this Atlantic crossing.4．What’s one of the purposes of Lufinha’s trip?A. To set a new world record.B. To map out a new sailing route.C. To check his boat’s performance.D. To collect money for the local charity.5．Why did Lufinha stay longer than expected at the Canary Islands?A. His boat broke down halfway.B. He took the wrong sailing direction.C. His water pumps required replacing.D. He was overtaken by terrible weather.6．What was Lufinha’s biggest gain from the trip?A. He developed his own independence.B. He discovered how to obtain drinkable water.C. He learned to view problems more positively.D. He mastered more advanced sailing techniques.7．Which of the following can best describe Lufinha?A. Strict and honest.B. Calm and curious.C. Determined and brave.D. Outgoing and generous.A recent report from UNESCO warns that using technology in classes may not help as much as many people believe. The report suggests that technology should be used less in schools, and that smartphones should be barred from classrooms.The goal of the new report was to improve how technology is applied to education. “Instead of being the focus, technology should support learning. Too much attention on technology in education usually comes at a high cost,” the report says.Over the last 20 years, technology has been used more and more in schools. These days, it’s n ormal for students in many places to look up information on the internet rather than using books. But the report points out that around 500 million students from poor areas were unable to take part in online classes. That’s one example of what UNESCO says is a larger problem —the advantages of technology aren’t evenly shared. People and countries with less money are often left out.UNESCO admits that technology can help in many ways. It can allow students to learn in more interesting ways; it can help teachers explain difficult ideas; it can also help students who have special needs. But UNESCO says technology can also take the students’ attentionlearning. One study that was carried out in 14 countries showed that even just having a smartphone nearby can be distracting. Even so, UNESCO says that less than 25% of the world’s countries bar the use of phones in schools.The report suggests that the best way to learn is still to work closely with teachers. Working with other classmates also helps students learn. UNESCO says that most schools should spend more money on things like books, classrooms and teachers.8．What does the text intend to tell us?A. Technologies can be double-edged.B. Education holds the key to development.C. The role of technologies is irreplaceable.D. School education encounters much resistance.9．What is discussed in paragraph 3 about technology in education?A. Safety concern.B. Wide application.C. Unreasonable management.D. Unbalanced availability.10．What does the underlined phrase “interfere with” mean in paragraph 4?A. Monitor.B. Disturb.C. Contribute to.D. Keep up.11．Where is the text most likely from?A. A business report.B. A research plan.C. A project handbook.D. A science magazine.Imagine taking a flying taxi to the airport, or crossing crowded city streets at rush hour, getting where you want to go far faster than you could in a car. Believe it or not, you might be able to do these things in an electric air taxi sooner than you think.An air taxi is a small aircraft—something like a mix between a helicopter(直升飞机) and a drone(无人机)—that can carry people from place to place. Air taxis don’t need a long runway like planes do. They can go straight up and down, like a helicopter.A company called Joby has been making and testing flying taxis since 2017. By 2025, Joby hopes to start carrying passengers for money. They’ve teamed up with Delta Air Lines to create a program to fly people from their homes to the airport. Joby also expects their air taxis to provide a ride-sharing service. Just like you might order a car to pick you up, you could use an app to order an air taxi. Joby’s air taxis will be flown by a pilot, and can ca rry four other passengers. They can fly as fast as 200 KPH and go around 100 miles before the electric batteries need to be recharged.Joby claims their taxis are both quieter and cheaper than helicopters. The company expects to charge about $3 a mile at first. But over time, they hope to bring the price down to less than $1 per mile.Exciting as the idea of flying taxis is, some people have concerns about them. The taxis may be quieter than helicopters, but they’ll still add noise and traffic to our skie s and endanger public safety when passengers are flying through the air.Still, it seems likely that air taxis will be part of the future of travel. The U.S. government says, “We could see air taxis in the skies by 2024 or 2025.”12．What are the main features of the air taxi?A. Traditional and expensive.B. Convenient and economical.C. Advanced but space-taking.D. Safe but energy-consuming.13．Why are helicopters mentioned in the text?A. To give a guess.B. To present an argument.C. To make a comparison.D. To introduce a phenomenon.14．What does paragraph 5 mainly tell us concerning the flying taxi?A. Its market risks.B. Its promising future.C. Its wide recognition.D. Its possible weaknesses.15．What can be the best title for the text?A. Flying Taxis Are Starting to Take OffB. Joby Has Already Mass-produced Air TaxisC. A Solution Is Used to Solve Traffic ProblemsD. America Has Improved Ride-sharing Services二、七选五16．We all want to be successful. ①_______We tend to focus directly on the end goals, failing to realize our big goals are not going to happen overnight. This is why celebrating small wins is so important in giving is motivation (动力) to push through difficulties and move forward. Then how to celebrate small wins?Break large goals down into small goals. When faced with a large goal, our minds can slip into the habit of delay. Small goals can help avoid this. ②_______Instead, make sure you create small, achievable goals that will allow you to see your progress more clearly. These small successes will help you feel good with each little step.Reward (犒劳) yourself. ③_______It could be anything from treating yourself to your favorite coffee or even taking a trip somewhere. Having something to look forward to trains the brain into creating motivation, which can speed up your pace of success.Don’t pressure yourself. Putting strict deadlines (截止日期) on your goals can lead to possible feelings of failure, even when there are small victories along the way. ④_______ This will increase your happiness and motivation as you celebrate small wins.Track your progress. Sometimes, we can give up because we are unaware of how close we are to success and forget how much we’ve done. Then why not keep a record? It will remind you how far you’ve come in achieving your goal. ⑤_______In short, small wins make huge successes. Celebrating small wins will make long-term goals easier to achieve in the long run.A. Be flexible with your time limits.B. Small wins can actually be easy to ignore.C. So don’t expe ct to realize your big dream instantly.D. The negative feelings may slow down your success.E. Do what you enjoy the most each time you complete a step.F. But along the journey to success, we can feel discouraged sometimes.G. Besides, seeing all the small wins written down can be a reward in itself.三、完形填空（15空）At nine years old, Klynn found her first hero — a local police officer making the daily rounds in her neighborhood.

AA restaurant owner's remarkable act of heroism saved many lives during a storm in Rolling Fork, Mississippi, which destroyed a local restaurant.Tracy Harden, the owner of Chuck's Dairy Bar, rushed her staff into a walk-inHarden spoke to Good Morning America reporter Robin Roberts on Monday alongside two employees, Barbara Pinkins and Carolyn Washington, who were both in the restaurant when the tornado hit.As the horrible tornado tore through the local area, Harden said she only had a minute of advance notice before it came moving rapidly through the restaurant.“I got two text messages bac k-to-back from my sister and my daughter in Vicksburg and they both said, “There's a. tornado down, get to a safe place.' At the same time I had my teenage cashier came running towards the back of the building saying, 'My mother is on the phone and she said there is a tornado down here.' At that point，most of us were towards the back of the building and the lights flickered（闪烁）. And I just shouted, 'Cooler!' And my husband opened the cooler door and started pushing us in.”Harden said that once her husband got them all inside, including himself, “he lost control of the door, the wind took the door and somehow he was able to get the door back.”“Just before it shut, he looked up and he said, 'I see the sky,' so that let us know that this was way worse than a nything we could have imagined,” she continued. “And the roof was gone.”Pinkins，meanwhile，recalled the chaos（混乱场面）before the tornado touched the restaurant, as Harden led people to safety. She said she remembered hearing Harden say,“Calm down. Everybody gets to the cooler!”“By the time we got to the cooler,I couldn't hear anything but the ceiling faling,”Pinkins said through tears,hugging Harden.1.Where was Harden when the tornado struck?A.In Chuck's Dairy Bar.C.In Good Morning America station. B.In Vicksburg.D.In Robin Roberts' restaurant.2.What can we infer about the tornado?A. It was slow but frightening.B It was the worst in local history.C.Harden lost her husband because of it.D.Harden received an advance notice about it.3.Which of the following best describe Harden?B.Brave and calm. D.Selfless and tough.4.What can be a suitable title for the text?A.Methods to Survive a TornadoB.Damage Brought by a TornadoC.Restaurant Owner Saved her Staff from TornadoD.Horrible Tornado Destroyed a Local RestaurantBA former police officer has become a real-life hero for dog owners in the United Kingdom. Phil James from Woodborough turned his hobby of flying drones（无人机）into a rescue operation to help reunite lost dogs with their owners. James started Drone to Home in 2020,and now he and the team have successfully rescued over 1,400 dogs.When a pet goes missing, most owners are left to organize their own search and rescue mission and rely on the kindness of strangers. But for those near Drone to Home, one call can make a world of difference. The charity rescue operation works to locate lost dogs and return them back to their worried owners. With the help of drones, the team at Drone to Home can cover significant ground and search in areas that would take rescuers on foot much longer to scan.Searching for a lost dog can be tricky business. Not only can dogs often outrun us humans, but they can also find their way into inaccessible areas like thick forests. This can make finding and getting a lost animal back seem impossible.But thanks to the team at Drone to Home in the East Midlands area of England, these barriers are less of an issue.Using thermal（热量的）drones，James and other drone pilots can cover serious ground in a short amount of time. The thermal camera works to discover warm areas, so a field that would take searchers on foot hours to cover can be searched in minutes.Drone to Home also uses their networking skills to help the community keep a lookout for a lost dog. “As 2021 went by, it became clear I required help, so I created a Whatsapp group where volunteers could join and help me if they could spare the time. Drone to Home now has hundreds of volunteers who help share content on social media and assist on-ground searchers,” James said on the charity's website.5.What's one advantage of drones in finding lost dogs?A.They can catch the dogs' attention.B.They can communicate with the dogs.C.They can protect the dogs from being attacked.D.They can search for the dogs in unreachable areas.6.What can we know about thermal drones from paragraph 4?A.Their target users. C.Their complex design.B.Their major function.D.Their potential market.7.What can we learn about Drone to Home?A. It helps the lost dogs find new homes.B.It trains volunteers to help the community.C.It attracts many warm-hearted people to join.D. It gives drone-lovers a chance to make money.CEver think you're getting enough sleep only to wake up tired? It's not just you-it happens to the best of us. Now, scientists say they have discovered the secret to waking up clear-headed and refreshed each and every morning.According to a new study from the University of California, Berkeley, published in Nature Communications, beyond sleep quality, the second main feature predicting day-to-day changes in morning alertness（机敏）was the intensity of physical activity the day before. In particular, researchers found that when the extent of an individual's physical activity was comparatively greater the day before, people felt more alert the next morning.Another factor happens not on the day before or even the night before, but the that participants consumed for breakfast that explained their alertness levels. When individuals consum ed the “high carbs”（高碳水）breakfast，they experienced higher levels of alertness.Beyond the effects of the high carbohydrate meal itself, one of the strongest outcomes shown in the study was the marked reduction in alertness on days when participants consumed a lot of sugar. It may sound paradoxical that a lot of sugar predicts a drop in alertness and the high carb breakfast is linked to an increase in alertness. But, despite their common high carbohydrate content, there are key nutritional（营养的）differences between the high-carb and sugar meals.Raphael Vallat, first author of the study, said, “If you have better sleep quality, you're going to see an increase in your alertness. If you run two kilometers on the day before, you’re going to see an increase.

Although my daughter and I both know how to make Nana’s special sauce,we don’t cook it as often as we could.Maybe it is because no matter how hard I try,I can never get it100percent right.Maybe it was just the love with which Nana and Dad cooked it that made it so delicious.

As I was about to leave, I noticed a piece of paper on the floor. I picked it up and saw the words "FINAL-TERM EXAMINATION" at the top. I put the paper into my school bag secretly and ran outof the room.After I came back home, I took out the paper quickly. It was the exam paper of my worst subject, History. I felt excited. My heart beat fast. I took out my History book and started working on the answer. I had never answered any questions so seriously.On the day of the History exam, I went into the exam hall confidently. When the paper was sent to me, I dreamt of getting the highest mark in the whole grade and could not help smiling. "My History teacher always encouraged me to work hard and get better grades, but I let him down time and time again. This time I will give him a big surprise," I thought.When the teacher said we could start, I turned the paper over. To my surprise, all the questions were different. Later I felt nervous. In the end, I almost left the paper undone. After the ex m. I ran to the toilet, took out the paper and carefully read it from the top. Oh! It was last year's exam paper. I read all the questions but I hadn't read the date.This is a lesson in which I know I have to put my feet on the ground. I regretted doing such a silly thing. After that, I told my teacher the truth and I promised to be honest. From then on, I worked harder than ever before.( )41. The writer went to the teacher's office to _________.A. take an examB. see his teacherC. get his school bagD. ask some questions( )42. The writer always _________ in his History exams.A. got high marksB. did silly thingsC. let his teacher downD. left the paper undone( )43. The writer felt _________ when he first saw all the questions were different.A. surprisedB. excitedC. nervousD. crazy( )44. When did the writer know it was last year's exam paper?A. Before he read all the questions.B. As soon as he returned home.C. Until he went into the teacher's office.D. After he read the paper in the toilet.( )45. What might the writer write in his diary?A. I'm glad that I did very well in the exam. I gave my teacher...B. After the exam, my teacher asked me to go to his office. My heart...C. When I turned over the paper, I couldn't help smiling. My teacher...D. I'm truly sorry for what I did. Everyone should be honest. I'll ...BMaking a good job choice is almost as good as choosing a good life. So, choosing a job is oneof the most important decisions to make in life.For my job, there are three important things that I will consider:The first one －that I must work in an area I like－is most important to me. Someone once said if you find a job that you enjoy, then you won't have to work another day. I would like to work in anarea where I can be more creative. I would like to be the most valuable member there. All this is possible only if I like what I do.The second one is that the area of my work must lead me to solve some ne w and hard problems. I would like to stay in the same area for a long time. In order for this to happen, the work must provide enough problems. More than just working to live, I enjoy making a difference and trying my best for the whole progress. I would also like to be well remunerated for my hard work, soI can lead a comfortable life with this hard-won money. Then I can provide the best for my family.The third important thing is that I would like to work in an area that would help other people. The work in my mind is in fields such as the army, training or management. In such areas, I can help to develop the abilities of others and bring out their best. It would be a most satisfying job to help young people to become the best that they can be. When I become old, I would like to look back with a great sense of satisfaction that thousands of people have become better persons through my work.I accept the idea that no one should make a choice of a job suddenly or quickly. He should decide what he wants to be in the long run. Then, he should decide how he works towards it. He should study the proper courses, r ead the books and speak to knowledgeable persons in that field before making a job choice. A good choice will most probably lead to a better life.( )46. According to the passage, a good job choice probably makes people _ .A. solve fewer problemsB. choose a good lifeC. be good family membersD. provide hard things( )47. The writer considers an enjoyable job most important because .A. he has to bring out his bestB. it can make him more creativeC. he will have to work another dayD. it is possible for him to live better( )48. The underlined word "remunerated" in the passage means" ".A. trainedB. praisedC. acceptedD. paid( )49. The writer wants to tell us that everyone should 。

As I was about to leave, I noticed a piece of paper on the floor. I picked it up and saw the words "FINAL-TERM EXAMINATION" at the top. I put the paper into my school bag secretly and ran out of the room.After I came back home, I took out the paper quickly. It was the exam paper of my worst subject, History. I felt excited. My heart beat fast. I took out my History book and started working on the answer. I had never answered any questions so seriously.On the day of the History exam, I went into the exam hall confidently. When the paper was sent to me, I dreamt of getting the highest mark in the whole grade and could not help smiling. "My History teacher always encouraged me to work hard and get better grades, but I let him down time and time again. This time I will give him a big surprise," I thought.When the teacher said we could start, I turned the paper over. To my surprise, all the questions were different. Later I felt nervous. In the end, I almost left the paper undone. After the ex m. I ran to the toilet, took out the paper and carefully read it from the top. Oh! It was last year's exam paper.

So, choosing a job is one of the most important decisions to make in life.For my job, there are three important things that I will consider:The first one －that I must work in an area I like－is most important to me. Someone once said if you find a job that you enjoy, then you won't have to work another day. I would like to work in an area where I can be more creative. I would like to be the most valuable member there. All this is possible only if I like what I do.The second one is that the area of my work must lead me to solve some ne w and hard problems. I would like to stay in the same area for a long time. In order for this to happen, the work must provide enough problems. More than just working to live, I enjoy making a difference and trying my best for the whole progress. I would also like to be well remunerated for my hard work, so I can lead a comfortable life with this hard-won money. Then I can provide the best for my family.The third important thing is that I would like to work in an area that would help other people. The work in my mind is in fields such as the army, training or management. In such areas, I can help to develop the abilities of others and bring out their best. It would be a most satisfying job to help young people to become the best that they can be. When I become old, I would like to look back with a great sense of satisfaction that thousands of people have become better persons through my work.I accept the idea that no one should make a choice of a job suddenly or quickly. He should decide what he wants to be in the long run. Then, he should decide how he works towards it. He should study the proper courses, read the books and speak to knowledgeable persons in that field before making a job choice. A good choice will most probably lead to a better life.( )46.

The writer considers an enjoyable job most important because .A. he has to bring out his bestB. it can make him more creativeC. he will have to work another dayD. it is possible for him to live better( )48. The underlined word "remunerated" in the passage means" ".A. trainedB. praisedC. acceptedD. paid( )49. The writer wants to tell us that everyone should 。
