2023-2024学年广东省中山市高二上学期期末英语模拟试题第一部分阅读理解（共两节，满分50分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项）AAmsterdam Destination GuideAmsterdam is one of the most popular travel destinations in the world, famous for its beautiful canals, top art museums, cycling culture and so on. It is the capital and most populous city in the Netherlands and often referred to as the “Venice of the North” because of its expansive system of bridges and canals. Here are some of the key points to remember as you plan your trip to Amsterdam.Must-See AttractionsMost visitors begin their Amsterdam adventure in the Old Centre, which is full of traditional architecture, shopping centers, and coffee shops. You’ll also want to check out Amsterdam’s Museum Quarter in the South District, which is great for shopping at the Albert Cuyp Market and having a picnic in the Vondelpark. The top museums to visit there are the Rijksmusuem, the Ann Frank House, and the Van Gogh Museum.If You Have TimeThere are several other unique districts in Amsterdam, and you should try to explore as many of them as time allows. The Canal Ring is a UNESCO World Heritage Site that was originally built to attract wealthy home owners and is a center for celebrity spotting and nightlife today. The Plantage area has most of the city’s museums, including the Jewish Historical Museum, the Scheepvaart Museum, and the botanical gardens.Money Saving Tips●Unless you really want to see the tulips（郁金香）blooming, avoid booking between mid-March and mid-May. This is when hotel and flight prices rise.●Look for accommodations in Amsterdam’s South District, where rates are generally cheaper than in the city center.●Buy train tickets at the machine instead of the counter to save a bit of money.●Instead of hiring a tour guide, hop on a canal boat. They’re inexpensive and will give you a unique point of view of the city.Check out our homepage to view price comparisons for flights, hotels, and rental cars before you book.1. What can be learned about Amsterdam from this passage?A. Amsterdam is called the “Venice of the North” because of its location.B. The Van Gogh Museum lies in Amsterdam’s Museum Quarter.C. The Old Centre is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.D. The Canal Ring is a place to attract garden lovers.2. In order to save money in Amsterdam, you can ________.A. arrange a guided canal tourB. buy train tickets at the counterC. reserve a hotel in the South DistrictD. book flights between mid-March and mid-May3. Where is the passage most probably taken from?A. A magazine.B. An essay.C. A report.D. A website.BThe only thing separating my two worlds is the Rio Grande river— it might not be much, but it’s enough for me to feel a big difference in customs and values. People who are not from El Paso, Texas, United States or a border city might not understand what it’s like to grow up between two places at once.I grew up in a Mexican household. My dad was born in El Paso but lived nearly his entire life in Ciudad Juárez until I was born, and my mom was born and raised in Mexico. She didn’t move to the US until she had me, when she was 28. My first language was nish, but my parents did not want me in bilingual classes. So, instead, it was all English for me at school.English was all I spoke among friends at school, while nish was the designated language with family, and I hardly ever mixed them. I also spent a lot of time with my maternal grandparents, who lived in Juárez and you could say helped raise and shape who I am today. It’s thanks to them that I perfected my nish, learned to read and write in that language — despite never taking classes — and fell in love with my Mexican culture by traveling to Mexico City and around the country.Along with being bilingual came a sense of having a double identity. I enjoyed watching nish TV series with my grandma as much as American series such as The Amanda Show. And the same went for music. I loved listening to nish singers, as much as American pop singers.It wasn’t until high school that I began to meet other people whose backgrounds I could relate to. I was introduced to friends with whom I identified because they were Mexican American and who had also been raised in El Paso but often visited family in Juárez. It was also during these years that I started going out to party in Juárez.Growing up on the border is pretty special. Thanks to my bicultural upbringing, I learned to enjoy and appreciate both sides of me without ever questioning who I am, because the truth is that I need both of those relationships and cultural identities to feel complete.4. What do we know about the author’s upbringing background?A. He was born in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico.B. He attended school in the US from a young age.C. His parents were both born and raised in Mexico.D. He showed his bilingual ability to his classmates at school.5. Who helped the author learn to read and write in nish?A. His grandparents.B. His parents.C. His teachers.D. His friends.6. Why does the author mention the nish TV series and American series?A. To contrast the two styles of TV series.B. To illustrate the author’s wide interests.C. To prove the author fits into both cultures well.D. To show grandma and the author have the same hobbies.7. How does the author feel about his bicultural identity?A. Proud.B. Confused.C. Worried.D. Awkward.CMost of us are aware of “Is the glass half full or half empty?” litmus test. If you pick the former, you’re an “optimist”; otherwise, you're a “pessimist”. It’s not a black-or-white test, but it can measure how one sees life.According to psychologist Lissy Ann Puno, most of us grow up wanting to be an optimist -- a person who can see the good in any situation and can stay hopeful when facing challenges. For somepeople, though, life happens and they start to see the glass half-empty instead. Pessimists tend to see the wrong in every situation, and blame external factors and circumstances when things aren’t going their way.Being continuously fed with bad news and disappointments can turn optimistic children into adults that are critical of almost everything. For some, the shift becomes easier, being raised by pessimistic parents. Others still remain optimistic, thanks to a positive household growing up.“This is why developing optimism in young children is crucial for their development as adults,” said Lissy Ann. If adopted at an early age, this powerful personality quality can help children grow into strong adults capable of handling life’s circumstances with confidence, courage, and hope. What parent wouldn’t want that for their children?“Children are seen as natural optimists,” Lissy Ann said. They come into this world with unbiased eyes and a pure heart that hasn’t been influenced by social expectations, life experiences, severe mental shock, or authority figures yet. Whether a child grows up to be optimistic or not is part genetic and part environmental. “Childhood experiences, parent-child connection, or authority figures will all have some influence,” she said. Although optimism (or the lack of it) could be passed down genetically, it can also be taught.8. What do people who see the glass half-empty refer to in paragraph 2?A. People who become pessimisticB. People who learn the truth about lifeC. People who see different sides of thingsD. People hold onto hope in difficult times9. What is paragraph 3 mainly about?A. Factors that affect children’s attitude to life.B. The negative influence of parents over children’s growth.C. The pattern of children’s mental transformation.D. Circumstances that improve children’s personality.10. Why is it important for children to be optimistic according to paragraph 4?A. It leads them to future success.B. It enables them to be wise in adulthood.C. It makes them mentally strong in adulthood.D. It helps them meet their parents’ expectations.11. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. Children are more optimistic than adults.B. Genetic factors decide how children see life.C. Optimism strengthens parent-child connection.D. Proper guidance helps raise optimistic children.DScience fiction is a fantasy-filled world where the impossible comes to life. In a world where science fiction fans are abundant, it is hard to escape the influence of the popular genre (类型) of entertainment — be it in the form of reading material or films. This includes the exposure of children to science fiction. Hence the effect of science fiction on children is definitely worth considering.The main effect that can be noted is that it inspires the imagination of children. The young and inexperienced mind is exposed to the exciting world of countless possibilities. This allows the children to experience and comprehend the possible options of events that may occur, which are beyond the normal life they experience.Besides this, the imagination of children is improved to understand the world around us with more interest. While astronomy may sound very uninteresting to a child, the possibilities of aliens living outside Earth make the topic more exciting and hence more accessible to the young thinking minds. The imagination of children would even stimulate their interest in history when it concerns science fiction related to both extinct and fantasy animals.An enhanced imagination is vital to a sharper cognitive (认知的) ability as children are able to think out of the box and are not limited to what is normal to them in their daily lives. Their imagination would work much better as they would have curiosity raised by their science fiction experience.Imaginative children would have an enriched life with an active mind. Aware of their surroundings, imaginative children are able to see life in a more delightful way than realistic children who may not be able to enjoy their childhood as much.12. What is the text mainly about?A. How children become imaginative.B. How children use their imagination.C. How science fiction impacts children.D. How science fiction creates a fantasy.13. How is paragraph 3 mainly developed?A. By analyzing causes.B. By giving examples.C. By describing a process.D. By following time order.14. What does the underlined phrase “think out of the box” in paragraph 4 refer to?A. Develop curiosity.B. Inspire imagination.C. Break the thinking pattern.D. Limit cognitive skills.15. What do we know about imaginative children?A. They are able to enjoy life more.B. They have easier access to science fiction.C. They have more life experiences.D. They are more interested in learning history第二节七选五（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

Even though major museums exhibited his works and the director of the American Craft Museum called him a national treasure, Mr Nakashima rejected the label of artist. For almost fifty years he simply went on shaping wood into beautiful chairs, tables, and cabinets.Nakashima had a clear goal. He intended each piece of furniture he made to be as perfect as possible. Even making a box was an act of creation, because it produced an object that had never existed before. Initially Nakashima used localwood, sometimes from his own property. Later, he traveled to seek out English oak, Persian walnut, African zebra wood and Indian teak. He especially liked to find giant roots that had been dug out of the ground after a tree was taken down. Nakashima felt that making this wood into furniture was a way of allowing the tree to live again.Most furniture makers prefer perfect boards, but Nakashima took pleasure in using wood with interesting knots (节疤)and cracks. These irregularities gave the wood personality and showed that the tree had lived a happy life.He never failed to create an object that was both useful and beautiful. One early piece Nakashima designed was a three-legged chair for his small daughter, Mira, to use when she sat at the table for meals. The Mira chair became so popular that Nakashima later made both low and high versions. Another famous piece, the Conoid chair, has two legs supported by bladelike feet. Always, Nakashima's designs were precise and graceful, marked by a simplicity that revealed his love for the wood.As the years passed, Nakashima's reputation grew and his work received many awards. His children Mira and Kevin, now adults, joined the team of crafts - people in their father's studio. Nakashima's dream of integrating work and family had come true.4. Which of the following best describes Nakashima?A. Generous and outgoing.B. Honest and simple.C. Capable and friendly.D. Creative and modest.5. Why was Nakashima called a national treasure?A. His art work made trees live again.B. He used precious wood materials.C. His chairs were beautifully designed.D. He was devoted to making furniture.6. What can we learn about Nakashima from the last two paragraphs?A. He loved his work and family.B. He made chairs of the samestyle.C. He sought for a simple life and art.D. He was lost in researchingthe wood.7. What can be inferred about Mira and Kevin?A. They had an art studio of their own.B. They still lacked the ability to create art works.C. They had a common interest with their father.D. They enjoyed the same reputation with their father.CPlaying tennis regularly could help keep people off death, but football, rugby and running may not help people to live longer, a study suggests.A study followed more than 80,000 people for an average of nine years to find out if certain sports protected them against early death. It found that people who played racket sports regularly were the least likely to die over the study period, reducing their individual risk by 47 percent compared with people who did no exercise. Swimmers also reduced their chance of death by 28 percent, aerobics (有氧运动) fans by 27 percent and cyclists by 15 percent. Yet running appeared to have no impact at all on dying early, and neither did playing football or rugby.Scientists say the difference may lie in the social aspect which goes alongside sports like tennis and squash (壁球), which often involve clubs and organized activities outside of the game. It means that people often have larger social net-works and tend to keep up activities into later life, both of which are proven to be good for health.In contrast, people who play team sports often do not move onto a new sport once their teams break up for family, or injury reasons. They become watchers rather than participants in their chosen activity.The researchers found that playing racket sports was associated with a 56 percent lower risk from heart death. Similarly, swimmers lowered their heartdisease or stroke risk by 41 percent, and people who took part in activities like aerobics, dance or gymnastics lowered their risk by 36 percent. But again running, football and rugby had no significant impact on heart deaths.However, other experts argue that this study must not be misinterpreted as showing that running and football do not protect against heart disease. In this study both runners and footballers had a lower rate of death from heart disease.8. Which sport has hardly any impact on protecting people against early death?A. Cycling.B. Swimming.C. Rugby.D. Tennis.9. According to the study, which makes a big difference in keeping healthy?A. Playing basketball with their friends occasionally.B. Watching football games every day.C. Taking up gymnastics and joining a club.D. Doing running in the park every day.10. What is considered more important to people's health?A. Social networks.B. Staying at home.C. Physical examinations.D. Setting up families.11. What is the main idea of the text?A. Thousands of people participated in a 9-year research.B. Study finds playing tennis helps people live longer.C. It is wrong to say running has no impact on heart disease.D. There are differences between racket sports and team games.DInstagram（图⽚分享社交应⽤程序）is about to take its biggest step toward removing likes from its platform. After months of testing an option to hide likes in select international markets, Instagram, which is owned by Facebook(FB), has already been testing hiding likes in seven other countries, including Canada, Ireland and Australia. For years, likes have been central to how celebrities, brands, politicians and everyday users experience Instagram and Facebook. It's away of measuring popularity and success. But in recent months, Instagram has been rethinking how likes contribute to making its platform more toxic. Now it's considering a change.The total number of likes on posts — which appear as hearts on the app ——will disappear from Instagram's main feed, profile pages and permalink(永久链接) pages. The owner of the account can still see their own likes, but their followers won't know the count.CNN Business previously spoke with users in countries with the test. The majority felt this move would improve well-being on the app. Instagram is the most detrimental(不利的) social networking app for young people's mental health, such as negatively impacting body image, according to one study.But other users and psychologists said hiding likes won't fix everything. The test doesn't address some of the key ways that activity on Instagram can impact the well-being of users, including bullying, feeling left out and thinking other people's lives are better than their own.Renee Engeln, a psychology professor at Northwestern University, voiced his opinion that the biggest impact of Instagram is the content and the exposure to this constant stream of perfected images is what seems to hurt psychologically. Plus, users can still see their own likes ——and feel badly if their posts don't perform well.12. How do users experience Instagram in this passage?A. By giving likes.B. By hiding likes.C. By selecting platforms.D. By showing off talents.13. What does the underlined word “toxic” in Paragraph 1 mean?A. Profitable.B. Poisonous.C. Popular.14. What can we infer from the passage?A. Instagram has affected youngsters' mental health.B. The account owners won't know the count o￡ likes.C. Instagram tested hiding likes in seven countries first.D. The majority think Instagram has been a well-being app.15. What could be the best title of the passage?A. Instagram Misuses LikesB. More People Are Against LikesC. Likes Cause Mental ProblemsD. Likes will Be Hidden on Instagram第⼆节 (共5⼩题；每⼩题2.5分，满分12.5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。

山西省2022 年普通高中学业水平考试试题英语（考试时间：120 分钟试卷满分：150 分）一、阅读（共两节，满分60 分）第一节（共15 小题；每小题3 分，共45 分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出最佳选项。
AAdvice on Writing from Famous Writers◆Hilary Mantel—a little pride can be a great helpThe most helpful quality a writer can develop is self-confidence, if you can manage it. You write to impress yourself on the world, and you have to believe in your own ability when the world shows no sign of agreeing with you.◆Leo Tolstoy—pick the hours that work best for youTolstoy believed in starting first thing: “I always write in the morning. I was pleased to hear lately that Rousseau, too, after he got up in morning, went for a short walk and sat down to work. In the morning one’s head is particularly fresh. The best thoughts most often come in the morning after waking while you are still in bed or during the walk.”◆William Faulkner—read to writeRead, read, read everything—rubbish, classics, good and bad, and see how they do it. Just like a carpenter(木匠)who works as a beginner and studies under the master. Read! You’ll take it in. Then write. If it is good, you’ll find out. If it’s not, throw it out of the window.◆Katherine Mansfield—writing anything is better than nothingLooking back, I imagine I was always writing. Even it was rubbish. But it’s far better to write rubbish or anything than nothing at all.1. What should you have in writing according to Hilary Mantel?A. A sense of pride.B. Rich knowledge.C. Courage to begin.D. Opportunities.2. What did Leo Tolstoy and Rousseau have in common?A. They went for a short walk after rising.B. They chose to write in the morning.C. They started to work while in bed.D. They got up at the best time.3. What did Katherine Mansfield value in writing?A. Reading good works.B. Keeping on reading.C. Practising writing.D. Gaining others’ respect.BWhen David Carter started his art major at the University of Texas at Austin in 1971, he had big dreams of becoming an artist or a writer. But he dropped out of university at 23 after he hurt his hand badly in an incident. He was later diagnosed with schizophrenia(精神分裂症) and spent several years without a home. Carter liked to spend time around UT-Austin, because he dreamed of being able to continue his study in the university and becoming a writer.UT-Austin student Ryan Chandler said he met Carter during an assignment(任务) on homelessness for The Daily Texan. “I interviewed him about homeless problems. After I heard his story, we kept in touch and really became friends. I learned he wanted to get back to UT-Austin, so I decided to help him.” said Chandler.With the help of Chandler, who worked with the university office, Carter was assigned and adviser by UN-Austin’s College of Fine Arts. “It’s the greatest blessing I’ve ever received,” Cartersaid. “He did what had to be done to get me back to school, and I couldn’t have done it without him.” after seeing a magazine article about Carter, a UT-Austin alumnus(校友) decided to pay his tuition fees without telling his name.Doug Dempster, dean of the college of Fine Arts, said in a statement that the school would be looking to help Carter in any way it could. “David Carter’s determination to complete his degree is a testament to finishing well what was started, and stopped, even many years earlier. We welcome him back as we do many students each year whose education could not be completed easily. We’re going to help him through his remaining course work.”4. Why did Carter stop studying in the university?A. He couldn’t afford his study.B. He had a hand injury.C. He got a strange disease.D. He hurt an artist.5 What was Chandler’s purpose in interviewing Carter?A. To do an assignment on homelessness.B. To learn why he hung around UT-Austin.C. To make friends with a homeless person.D. To finish his homework on helping others.6. Which of the following words can best describe Chandler?A. Brave.B. Honest.C. Strong-mindedD. Warm-hearted7. What can we learn from Dempster’s words in the statement?A. He encourages Carter to study hard.B. He calls on other students to help Carter.C. He supports students who never give up.D. He suggests other students learn form Carter.CMany of the Earth's creatures die because of humans' choices. These choices have nothing to do with food or shelter or anything else that helps humans survive. What kills millions of animals all over the world is that humans want to make money by doing so.People use parts of animals for everything from hats to handbags, from jewelry to ashtrays and to make powders that supposedly improve a person's life. Deciding that a species is endangered and protecting it by law are not always enough. People who kill wildlife illegally rarely get caught.During the late 1980s, saving elephants became a popular cause. Wildlife protection groups made sure everyone saw pictures or films of elephants with their faces cut off for their ivory. These groups also proved that certain populations of elephants were decreasing. As a result, most people stopped buying objects made of ivory. Laws against poaching (偷猎) were made stronger. Many countries made importing ivory illegal. Killing elephants for their Ivory became more risky and less profitable (有利可图的).However, concern for certain species will become weak after a while. In the late 1970s, people protested (抗议) against the killing of seal babies. Everyone was shocked to see young seals being killed in their icy habitat. The cruel activity stopped. But ten years later, the number of seal babies killed was higher than ever.Other animal protection movements have come and gone, such as saving the whales and protecting dolphins. The whale population appears to have increased for now. And the laws are finally changed in America to protect the dolphins that swim with tuna fish in parts of the PacificOcean.In the years to come, people's attention will probably turn to some other endangered species. Plenty of them urgently need attention. During this time, will the elephants be forgotten?8 What leads to the disappearance of millions of wild animals?A. The growing human population.B. Humans’ hope for making a fortune.C. Humans’ too much need for wild food.D. Not having enough laws on wildlife protection..9. What can you infer from the text about what happened in the late 1980s?A. Wildlife protection groups did make great efforts.B. Importing ivory in all countries is illegal.C. Those who killed elephants all got caught.D. Hunting was completely not allowed.10. Why are seal babies mentioned in Paragraph 4?A. To show the effort to protect seal babies.B. To show an increasing number of seal babies.C. To show the decrease of worry about certain species.D. To show people’s protest against the killing of seal babies.11. What does the author mean by using the underlined sentence?A. Humans should choose some rare animals to protect.B. Attention must be paid to saving some endangered wildlife.C. Success has been achieved in quite a few cases of wildlife protection.D. Concern and movements for animal protection should be always kept.DRole models are important for inspiring scientists, but new research suggest that scientists who are known for their hard work are more encouraging then scientists who are viewed as naturally brilliant.In a series of studies, researchers found that young people were more motivated by scientists whose success was connected with efforts than those whose success was because of natural intelligence, even if that scientist was Albert Einstein.Danfei Hu, a doctoral student at the Pennsylvania State University, and Janet N. Ann, an assistant professor of Psychology at William Paterson University, said the findings—recently published in Basic and Applied Social Psychology—will help deal with the certain secret about what it takes to succeed in science.According to the researchers, there is concern in the science community with the number of students who run after careers in science during school only to drop out of those career paths once they graduate from college. To help solve the problem, Hu and Ann wanted to research role models, who give the students specific goals, behavior or strategies they can follow.The researchers performed studies with 176 and 162 participants in each study respectively. In the first study, all participants read the same story about common struggles a scientist met in his science career. However, half were told the story was about Einstein, while half were told it was about Thomas Edison. Although the stories were the same, participants were more likely to believe natural brilliance was the reason for Einstein’s success. In addition, the participants whobelieve the story was about Edison were more motivated to complete a series of maths problems.“This proved that people generally seem to view Einstein as a genius, with his success commonly linked to extraordinary talent,”Hu said. “Edison, on the other hand, is known for failing more than 1,000 times when trying to create the light bulb, and his success is linked to his efforts.”Hu added, “Knowing that something great can be achieved through hard work and efforts, more students will step into the science career confidently.”12. What kind of scientist is more encouraging?A. Those who are famous around the world.B. Those who are viewed as naturally brilliant.C. Those who are famous for their hard work.D. Those who are viewed as great inventors.13. What is the concern in the science community?A. There are fewer role models for students to follow.B. Some scientists cannot give students specific goals.C. The students will drop out of school soon.D. Fewer students will work on science.14. Why were some participants motivated to complete a series of maths problems?A. They knew the problems were given by Edison.B. They believed they could solve the problems by working hard.C. They believed they were as intelligent as Einstein.D. They knew they were to work together with Einstein and Edison.15. What is the best title for the text?A. Einstein Is Less Encouraging Than EdisonB. Edison’s Achievements Are GreaterC. How to Be a Great ScientistD. Einstein’s Success Story第二节（共5 小题；每小题3 分，共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。

An elderly gentleman was standing by the side of a path, looking confused and lost. Just at that moment, a kind- hearted young girl approached him. She asked him gently what was wrong and listened patiently as he struggled to explain.Without hesitation, the girl took his hand and slowly guided him along the path, chatting with him to ease his anxiety. They walked together until they reached the place the old man was supposed to be. The old man smiled with thankfulness and relief.After helping the old man, the girl didn’t just leave. She spent some more time with him, sharing some interesting stories and making him laugh. The old man’s eyes rkled with joy, and it was clear that this interaction had brightened his day. The girl’s kindness seemed to have an effect, as other people in the park also noticed and were inspired by her actions.I continued to observe as the girl then decided to stay with the old man for a while longer. They sat on a bench together, and the girl began to tell him about her own life, her dreams, and her adventures. The old man listened attentively, nodding and smiling from time to time. It was abeautiful sight to behold, this unlikely pair sharing such a genuine and heartwarming connection.This encounter made me reflect on the importance of kindness in our society. In a world that can often seem cold and hurried, acts like the girl’s are like the tower of light, showing us the way to a more empathetic（同情的）and caring existence.

It weaves an complicated and fascinating patternwithin Chinese society.Tea growing in China is an art form in itself. The tea- growing areas, with their special climates and lands, produce teas of exceptional quality. From the misty mountain s of Fujian to the green landscapes of Yunnan, different areas offer a rich variety of tea types.The process of making tea is careful and detailed. It involves exact measurements of water temperature, the right amount of tea leaves, and a certain steeping time to get the fullest flavor and smell. This care for details shows the Chinese people’s search for excellence in all parts of life.Tea is not merely a beverage; it is a thing that helps social relations. It brings people together, whether in family get- togethers, friendly meetings, or business talks. The act of sharing a cup of tea is a sign of kindness and connection. And the many tea- houses all over the country offer places for people to relax, talk, and enjoy the peace that tea gives. Moreover, tea ceremonies are an important part of Chinese culture. These ceremonies are complex and formal, showing the grace and elegance of Chinese traditions. They involve exact movements and a deep respect for the tea and the process.In addition to its social and cultural importance, tea in China is also known for its possible health benefits. It is thought to have anti- oxidant（抗氧化的）features and is linked to various good effects on physical health.As China keeps moving forward and modernizing, its tea culture is still strongly fixed, a proof of its historical and cultural importance.

A Long March-5rocket lifted it off from the Wenchang ce Launch Site in Hainan. This was a huge success and a remarkable achievement for China’s ce exploration program. The launch not only shows China’s advanced technological abilities but also makes scientists and ce lovers around the world excited.Collecting samples from the far side of the moon is a new thing for humanity. We have very little knowledge about this mysterious side. If the Chang’e-6 mission is successful, it will give scientists important and direct facts to know more about the far side’s environment, geological features, and material make- up. This will be an important step forward in our exploration of the moon and the universe as a whole.The Chang’e-6 cecraft has an orbiter, a lander, an ascender（上升器）, and a returner. When it reaches the moon, it will land carefully on the far side. Within 48 hours after landing, a robot arm will carefully collect rocks and soil from the lunar surface. Also, a drill will go into the ground to take samples from deeper layers. At the same time, a series of complex scientific tests and analyses will be done to get valuable data.The far side of the moon is very different from the side we can see. The Apollo basin in the South PoleAitken Basin is chosen as the landing and sampling place for the Chang’e-6 mission. This area is thought to have precious clues about the moon’s formation and development, giving possible ideas about the early history of our celestial（天体）neighbor.This mission has many technical difficulties and needs the latest technologies. It also gets help from international cooperation, showing the spirit of working together in the global search for ce exploration. The exploration of the far side of the moon may provide valuable scientific data and open up new possibilities for future ce activities, such as setting up long- term lunar bases and using lunar resources.The success of the Chang’e-6 mission has the possibility to make more international cooperation in ce exploration. It shows China’s strong wish to add to the growth of globalknowledge about the universe and encourages other countries to work together to find out the secrets of the universe.32．What is the main purpose of the Chang’e-6 mission?A．To build a base on the far side of the moon.B．To study how the moon moves around.C．To collect and bring back samples from the far side of the moon.D．To look for water on the moon.33．Which of the following is true about the far side of the moon?A．It’s different from the side we can see.B．It’s the same as the side we can see. C．We know a lot about it.D．It has no rocks or soil.34．What might the exploration of the far side of the moon lead to?A．No change in the future.B．New chances for ce activities. C．Fewer friends for China in ce.D．No new technologies.35．What could be a suitable title for this passage?A．“The Mystery of the Moon”B．“The Far Side of the Moon: Unknown Territory”C．“ce Exploration and Challenges”D．“China’s Chang’e-6 Mission: Unveiling the Secrets of the Moon’s Far Side”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。

A篇We all like fantasy stories, and grow up reading and listening to fantasies. These tales fuel our imaginations, and satisfy our longings for adventures. The most interesting thing about fantasies is that their plots involve magical beasts and heroes，animal creatures talking like humans，and other things we can’t see in real life. Also, fantasies have a distinguished writing style, with freedom of expression.Toy FantasyIn toy fantasy stories, narrators(叙述者)bring their beloved toys to life that can live, talk, think，breathe and behave like human beings. You would see modern toy fantasies in a picture book format. Representative works are A. A. Milne’s Winnie the Pooh and Carlo Collodi’s The Adventures of Pinocchio.Animal FantasyThe animal fantasy tells tales about animals behaving like human beings, experiencing emotions, and having the ability to talk. However, animals in fantasies hold their various animal characteristics, too. Examples include The Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Grahame, Charlotte's Web by E. B. White, and The Tale of Peter Rabbit by Beatrix Potter which influences children around the world.Magical FantasyIn a magical fantasy, you see a character having magical powers, or a strange magical object becomes the subject of the story. Stories of this type began widely spreading long ago, including Roald Dahl's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and William Steig’s Sylvester and the Magic Pebble.Modern FolktalesModern folktales are types of fantasy that narrators tell in a traditional tale accompanying some typicalparts, such as strong conflict, little description of characters, and sometimes magical elements. These tales come before all others and are popular, as authors throughout history, have written them. Hans Christian Andersen has written several tales of this category including The Nightingale, The Emperor’s New Clothes and Thumbelina.1. What is the common feature of the fantasies?A. Their characters are highly popular.B. Their events occur in the unreal world.C. Their writing styles show desires for freedom.D. Their plots encourage people to have adventures.2. Who made a great contribution to the animal fantasy?A. Carlo Collodi.B. Beatrix Potter.C. William Steig.D. Hans Christian Andersen.3. Which type of fantasy has the longest history?A. The toy fantasy.B. The animal fantasy.C. The magical fantasy.D. The modern folktales.B篇One of the easiest ways to stop the spread of disease is to simply wash your hands. Twenty seconds of handwashing with soap and water can reduce illnesses and save lives. But, many people, especially children, do not have good handwashing habits. One problem is that children do not wash their hands often enough or long enough. Children may think that it is a tiresome thing to do.To help handle this problem, two businesswomen from India created a product to turn handwashing into a fun activity. Amanat Anand and Shubham Issar created a tool called SoaPen, aimed at teaching kids good handwashing habits and encouraging kids to wash their hands with soap appropriately and regularly."It’s such a simple habit to do,but the fact is that people aren’t doing it, and it’s resulting in actual deaths — which is shocking. So, we decided to come up with a fun method," said Issar.As the name suggests, SoaPen is a pen made out of soap. The children draw on their hands with the soap pen and then wash the drawing off. If they don’t spend enough time washing it off, the colors remain on the children’s hands. Issar said it makes sure that children take enough time to wash their hands. This may be especially helpful in a classroom. Often a teacher does not have the time to make each child wash his hands properly.Kids actually wash their hands for the proper amount of time because they've drawing on their hands. To obliterate the drawing, they actually wash their hands instead of just going under water and, you know, a one-second wash and off.Good news is that the school children in Mumbai, India, will soon most likely wash their hands after handling a pen. Issar and Anand stated that SoaPen to be created everywhere will help promote good habits through handwashing in the city across the globe.4. Why does SoaPen come into existence?A. To cure kids of some kinds of diseases.B. To teach kids the importance of soap.C. To help kids wash their hands correctly.D. To make money from children consumers.5. Which of the following does Issar agree with?A. Handwashing is anything but little.B. SoaPen is designed for classrooms.C. Some teachers ignore kids' health in school.D. Kids don’t know the right way of handwashing.6. What does "obliterate" underlined in paragraph 5 mean?A. Show.B. Reserve.C. Learn.D. Remove.7. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. SoaPen has become popular worldwide.B. The inventors think SoaPen has a bright future.C. SoaPen has been applied in Mumbai schools.D. Kids' health should be paid more attention to.C篇You’ve likely noticed them by now. School buses are back on the street packed with students. Many of those kids step off the buses with a potential health danger over their shoulder — a backpack filled with homework.Backpacks come in all shapes, sizes and colors. It is a fun way for any girl or boy to express their styles. Some are simple, some covered with cartoon characters, many equipped with special compartments for every tool astudent needs, like pencils, notebooks and books.Yes, they are practical, but a heavy backpack can injure muscles and joints. Wearing a backpack incorrectly can lead to severe back, neck and shoulder pain, as well as posture problems. When a backpack filled with books is placed on a boy or girl’s shoulders incorrectly, the force of the weight can pull the child backward, so the child may bend their hips forward or arch their back.Pay attention to detail when selecting a backpack; choose one that is equipped with a comfortable back, waist and wide shoulder straps. Narrow straps can dig into a child’s shoulders and affect circulation and nerves. The heavy load danger is not just for kids 12 and under. Middle and high school are at risk, too. They are carrying heavier books home daily.Luckily, back pain created by backpacks is preventable. Parents should talk to their kids about lightening the load. You can even use a bathroom scale. The backpack should not weigh more than 10 percent to 15 percent of your child’s weight. If your child weighs 80 pounds, the pack should not weigh more than 8 to 12 pounds. If your child weighs 140 pounds, the pack should not be heavier than 21 pounds. Most importantly, if your child talks about numbness or weakness in the arms or legs, contact a physician.8. What do students’ backpacks reflect according to paragraph 2?A. Their hobbies.B. Their styles.C. Their characters.D. Their needs.9. What is paragraph 3 mainly about?A. Students’ heavy loads.B. Wearing backpacks incorrectly.C. Dangers of heavy backpacks.D. Weight of heavy backpacks.10. Which backpack is more suitable for a child weighing 100 pounds?A. With wide shoulder straps weighing about 10 pounds.B. With narrow shoulder straps weighing 16 pounds.C. With wide shoulder straps weighing 20 pounds.D. With narrow shoulder straps weighing 15 pounds.11. Who are the intended readers of the text?A. Children.B. Doctors.C. Teachers.D. Parents.D篇A city in South Korea, which has the world’s largest number of people using smartphones, has placed flashing lights and laser beams at a road crossing to warn “smartphone zombies” to look up and drivers to slow down, in the hope of preventing accidents.The designers of the system were motivated by growing worry that more pedestrians glued to their phones will become victims in a country that already has some of the highest road death and injury rates among developed countries. State-run Korea Institute of Civil Engineering and Building Technology (KICT) believes its system of flashing lights at zebra crossings can warn both pedestrians and drivers.In addition to red, yellow and blue LED lights on the pavement, “smombies” - smartphone zombies - will be warned by laser beam projected from power poles and a warning sent to the phones by an app that they are about to step into traffic.“Increasing number of smombie accidents have occurred in pedestrian crossings, so these zombie lights are essential to prevent these pedestrian accidents,” said KICT senior researcher Kim Jong-hoon. Drivers are warned by the flashing lights, which have shown to be effective 83.4 percent of the time in the institute’s tests involving about 1,000 vehicles.In 2017, more than 1,600 pedestrians were killed in auto related accidents, which is about 40 percent of total traffic deaths, according to data from the Traffic Accident Analysis System. For now, the smombie warning system is placed only in Ilsan, a suburban city about 30 km northwest of the capital, Seoul, but is expected to go nationwide, according to the institute.Kim Dan-hee, a 23-year-old resident of Ilsan, welcomed the system, saying she was often too absorbed in her phone to remember to look at traffic. “This flashing light makes me feel safe as it makes me look around again, andI hope that we can have more of these in town,” she said.12. What do the underlined words smartphone zombies in paragraph 1 refer to?A. Drivers driving after drunk.B. Pedestrians buried in their phones.C. Passengers crazy about phones.D. Policemen in charge of traffic.13. What do we know about the warning system?A. It has reduced death rate by 83.4%.B. It has been spread nationwide.C. It gives a warning to the smartphones.D. It is being tried out in many places.14. What was the residents’ attitude to the traffic system?A. Negative.B. Unconcerned.C. Disapproving.D. Favorable.15. What is the best title for the text?A. South Korea Warns Smartphone Zombies of TrafficB. Flashing Lights Are Used to Prevent AccidentsC. Smartphone Zombies Are Causing Traffic AccidentsD. South Korea Uses a New Traffic System第二节（共5小题：每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

The passages and the conversation will be read twice, but the questions will be spoken only once. When you hear a question, read the four possible answers on your paper and decide which one would be the best answer to the question you have heard.Questions 11 through 13 are based on the following passage.Welcome to today's discussion on the importance of tooth protection for maintaining ideal oral health. Taking care of your teeth is not just about achieving a bright smile; it's a crucial aspect of overall well-being. Let's explore some key strategies for effective tooth protection.Firstly, regular brushing with fluoride toothpaste is a cornerstone of good oral hygiene. Brushing your teeth twice a day, in the morning and before bedtime, helps remove a sticky film of bacteria that forms on teeth, which can lead to tooth decay and gum disease if not properly addressed.In addition to brushing, integrating dental floss into your daily routine is essential. Dental floss helps clean between teeth, where toothbrush hairs might not reach. This helps prevent the risk of developing tooth decay in those hard-to-reach areas.Furthermore, being aware of your diet plays a significant role in tooth protection. Limiting the consumption of sugary foods and soft drinks is crucial, as sugar provides a breeding ground for harmful bacteria that erode tooth enamel. Choose a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and dairy products to promote strong and healthy teeth.For individuals involved in sports or physical activities, wearing a mouthguard is a positive measure for tooth protection. Mouthguards act as a cushion, absorbing the impact of blows to the face and preventing dental injuries such as chipped or knocked-out teeth.Lastly, regular dental check-ups are vital. Dentists can identify early signs of dental issues, allowing for timely intervention and preventing the progression of problems. Professional cleanings and examinations are key components of practical tooth protection.Questions：11.How often is it recommended to brush your teeth for effective tooth protection?12.Why is limiting the consumption of sugary foods and soft drinks important for tooth protection?13.What is the significance of regular dental check-ups in tooth protection?Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage.In the fast-paced world we live in today, the convenience of fast food delivery has become an essential part of our food culture. The ability to enjoy our favorite meals without leaving the comfort of our homes has transformed the way we approach dining. Let's explore the various aspects that make fast food delivery a popular and efficient choice for many.Firstly, the convenience factor cannot be overstated. With just a few taps on a mobile app or a quick phone call, you can have a variety of delicious dishes delivered right to your doorstep. This convenience is particularly appreciated on busy days when cooking or going out for a meal may not be practical.Speed is another key element of fast food delivery services. Many restaurants are laying great emphasis on quick preparation and delivery, ensuring that your food arrives hot and fresh. This is made possible by advanced supply chain and technology, allowing for efficient order processing and accurate delivery time estimates.Diversity in menu options is a significant advantage of fast food delivery. Whether you're longing for pizza, burgers, sushi, or even some local flavours, you can explore a diverse range of choices from various restaurants without leaving your home. This variety meets the need of different tastes and preferences, making fast food delivery a versatile option for individuals and families.While fast food delivery offers many advantages, it's essential to strike a balance and maintain a healthy approach to food choices. Balancing between home-cooked meals and the occasional fast food treat makes sure your food experience is enjoyable and varied.Questions:14.What is a significant advantage of fast food delivery in today's busy world?15.How do many fast food delivery services ensure food arrives hot and fresh?16.What is a notable advantage of the diverse menu options in fast food delivery?Questions 17 through 20 are based on the following passage.W: Mark, I'm so excited about our trip to Europe, but I've been thinking a lot about staying safe while we're there. Any tips?M: Absolutely, Lisa. Safety is a top priority. First things first, make copies of your important documents, like passports and travel insurance. Keep one set with you and leave another with someone you trust back home. And it’s unacceptable to share copies with fellow travelers.W: That's a good idea. I've heard about travel insurance, but I'm not sure what it covers.M: Travel insurance is a lifesaver. It typically covers medical emergencies, trip cancellations, and even lost baggage. It's a small investment for peace of mind.W: Great advice. What about staying connected with our families?M: We should have a plan for communication. We can use messaging apps with Wi-Fi, but it's also wiseto have a local SIM card for emergencies. And don't forget to check in regularly, especially when we change locations.W: True. Now, what about our belongings? I've read about pickpocketing being common in some places. M: Absolutely. Invest in some anti-theft gear, like RFID-blocking wallets and backpacks. Be aware of your surroundings, especially in crowded areas, and use hotel safes for valuables.W: Good point. Now, what about health precautions? I've heard stories about travelers getting sick.M: Research vaccinations and health recommendations for our destination. Pack a small first aid kit with essentials, and be cautious about what you eat and drink. It's crucial to drink enough water every day.W: Thanks, Mark. These are all excellent tips. I feel more prepared now.M: No problem, Lisa. It's all about being proactive and aware. Now, let's enjoy our coffee and finalize our itinerary.Questions:17.What does Mark suggest about important documents like passports?18.How does Mark recommend staying connected with family during the trip?19.What precautionary measures does Mark suggest for avoiding pickpocketing?20.What health precautions does Mark advise for the trip?KeysI.

Traditional Chinese festivals, such as the Spring Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival, embody not only China's history but also its philosophical reflections and the profound understanding and compassion of the Chinese people towards human nature. On this topic, I recently shared my thoughts on Zhihu, shedding light on my perspective.Firstly, let's compare a Chinese traditional festival with a Western one. Taking the Spring Festival and Christmas as examples, the Spring Festival is China's paramount traditional celebration, symbolizing new beginnings, family reunions, and a profound emphasis on family values. In contrast, Christmas in the West places a greater emphasis on gift exchanges and a commercial atmosphere, highlighting personal enjoyment and festivities.In my view, traditional Chinese culture is a vast and profound treasure trove. It encompasses not onlyrituals and customs but also profound contemplations on life, nature, and interpersonal relationships. Traditional Chinese values, centered around family, filial piety, and harmony, have instilled in me a moral compass. Through traditional festivals, I've learned the importance of respecting elders and cherishing family, invaluable lessons shaping my growth.In today's society, the comparison between Chinese and Western cultures has deepened my understanding of the uniqueness of traditional Chinese culture. It's crucial to continue promoting the values embedded in our traditions, fostering a more harmonious and civilized society.。

ACritics’ choice: The year’s best novels. . .1 The Love Songs of W. E. B. Du Bois by Honorée Fanonne Jeffers （Harper, $29）The novel from a celebrated poet, this 800-page work is many things at once: a moving coming- of-age story, an examination of race, and an exploration of American history. Out of curiosity about the secrets in her family, Ailey uncovers stories that trace back to her Native American, Scottish, and enslaved African-American ancestors.2 Matrix by Lauren Groff （Knopf, $28）If Matrix were written by anyone else, it would be a hard sell. But Lauren Groff has reimagined the life of 12th-century poet Marie de France so that we can’t help but stay with this royal castoff as she’s sent away, at 17, to run a poor church, which she eventually changes into a shelter for women and a challenge to the male-dominated world.3 Klara and the Sun by Kazuo Ishiguro （Knopf, $28）A robot that has been programmed to be a sickly teenager’s ＂Artificial Friend, ＂Klara serves as our eyes on a troubling near future in which technological progress is pushing moral boundaries. But her outsider view allows the author of Remains of the Day, now a Nobel Prize winner, to explore what makes people irreplaceable.4 Cloud Cuckoo Land by Anthony Doerr （Scribner, $30）Doerr's first novel since 2014 covers several hundred years-from 1453 Constantinople to a 22nd-century ceship escaping from Earth. The book runs 640 pages, but without a wasted word. As engaging as a great bedtime story and as readable as Harry Potter, it's above all a celebration of the human spirit and its power to dream impossible dreams.21. Which book is written by a poet?A. The Love Songs of W. E.B. Du Bois. B. Matrix.C. Klara and the Sun.D. Cloud Cuckoo Land.22. What is the central theme explored in Klara and the Sun?A. Historical events.B. Pursuit of dreams.C. Human irreplaceability.D. Teenagers' friendship.23. What do the four novels have in common?A. They all cover hundreds of years.B. They are all chosen by critics.C. They are all the author's first novel.D. The main characters are all humans.BThe world of underwater slumber is unlike what we see on the surface. For mammals （哺乳动物）, a good night's sleep sends an animal into a state of unconsciousness （无知觉） during hours of restorative sleeping that helps heal the body and solidify memories firmly in the mind. For fish, however, sleep isn't such a well-defined process. Instead, many fish species have taken to spending short periods in a state of reduced activity or rest while keeping their eyes open to scan the water for potential threats. During these periods of reduced activity, a fish's bodily functions slow down and its watchfulness drops.The breadth of animals in the ocean that exhibit this type of reduced activity is widereaching. Among the hundreds of thousands of creatures in the sea, some merely ride along with the current,such as jellyfish. Others find rocky bedrooms for the night, while those such as stingrays bury themselves in the sand to rest. However, it must be really hard to get a good night's sleep when you breathe air but live in water. This is something that the world's underwater mammals have to deal with.To prevent themselves from drowning （溺死） in their sleep, underwater mammals such as dolphins and manatees have developed the ability to "turn off' one side of their brain to rest, known as unihemispheric sleep. While one side is fast asleep, the other keeps all the animal's vital functions running, such as breathing. Manatees, for example, love to sleep, spending up to 12 hours a day in a deep slumber. However, as air-breathing animals, manatees need to surface every 20 minutes or so for oxygen. To achieve this, the half of the brain that's still awake sends the sleeping manatee to the surface to get some air.24. What does the underlined word "slumber" in paragraph 1 mean?A. Rest.B. Sleep.C. Danger.D. Activity.25. Why is it hard to define sleep for fish?A. Because fish remain partially awake.B. Because fish need short resting times.C. Because fish possess no consciousness.D. Because fish pretend not to be sleeping.26. What is a challenge faced by underwater mammals?A. Hiding in sand.B. Riding the current.C. Finding spots to rest.D. Breathing while sleeping.27. How do manatees ensure their oxygen supply during sleep?A. By sleeping less.B. By adapting to the sea.C. By surfacing periodically.D. By controlling their breath.CProfessor Lum seems to be under the spell of ChatGPT, but let's not get carried away with the AI chatbot craze. While it does have some benefits, his arguments are like a leaky boat in a stormy sea- full of holes.According to Professor Lum, ChatGPT offers students a wealth of information. Sure, it's like having a walking encyclopedia （百科全书）, but learning is not about copying an answer. It's aboutthe journey of discovery. ChatGPT, armed with its vast database, denies students the opportunity to explore and learn through their own efforts. It's like awarding a participation medal for a race that hasn't even begun!He also claims that ChatGPT improves communication skills. Seriously? Chatting with an AI is not the same as having a real conversation. How can we expect students to handle the complexities of the real world if all they know is how to talk to a chatbot? Let's not turn them into socially awkward bots themselves.Oh, and let's not forget about critical thinking. Professor Lum thinks ChatGPT challenges students to think critically. But come on, folks! It's merely a machine! It's not going to teach them how to question assumptions, analyze evidence, or come up with innovative solutions. We need human interaction and lively debates for that.Lastly, Professor Lum believes ChatGPT can provide support and guidance. Again, seriously? Are we going to replace human emotions with lines of code （代码）？ ChatGPT might offer some comforting words, but it can't replace the warmth and understanding that can only be found in human interaction. Let us not abandon our students, leaving them to feel more alone and disconnected than ever before.Professor Lum's opinion regarding ChatGPT warns us against too much reliance on technology. Rather than prioritizing ChatGPT, the focus should be on developing critical thinking, promoting genuine human interaction, and emphasizing the core aspects of education.28. What is compared to a participation medal in paragraph 2?A. A walking encyclopedia.B. A journey to explore.C. A vast database.D. An answer.29. What can be inferred about ChatGPT from paragraphs 3～5?A. It is not good at socializing.B. It is a skilled critical thinker.C. It offers nothing helpful to humans.D. It forms a warm bond with humans.30. What is the author's attitude towards ChatGPT?A. Totally negative.B. Fully supportive.C. Highly skeptical.D. Quite indifferent.31. What is the main purpose of the passage?A. To criticize a viewpoint.B. To question an authority.C. To clarify two arguments.D. To compare two chatbots.DIf there was an app on your phone that claimed to improve your memory, would you be willing to try it? It's hard to resist the idea of having a better memory. After all, our memories are delicate and can be affected by various factors such as diseases, injuries, mental health conditions, and aging.In response to this perceived need, the brain training industry has grown rapidly, offering a wide range of accessible and affordable mental exercises through smartphone and tablet apps. Many researchers have found evidence suggesting that well-designed exercises can improve mental abilities and even lead to better scores on IQ tests. They compare the brain to muscles, suggesting that targeted repetition of memory exercises can strengthen and condition our memory processes, similar to how athletes engage in strength and conditioning by repeatedly exercising specific muscle groups.In contrast to everyday activities like reading a detailed article or solving a complex puzzle, memory training apps are specifically designed to provide a more challenging workout for the brain. These apps typically involve tasks that require. tracking a large number of objects while being distracted by a secondary task, such as mental calculations or exploring a game's landscape. If this brain training proves effective, it could be beneficial for individuals with brain-related disabilities or those recovering from conditions like cancer.Critics, though, argue that while the concept is appealing, the overall evidence fails to demonstrate significant improvement in core brain processes. Additionally, despite the claims made by many apps and brain training companies, scientists have yet to identify the key factors that make an intervention truly effective or determine the best approaches to address the diverse needs of individuals seeking help.While the question is still open to debate, there is evidence suggesting that short-term working memory training can benefit high-functioning individuals, such as college students. However, it's important to note that brain training, like diet and exercise, is unlikely to have identical effects on every individual.32. In what way is the brain similar to muscles according to many researchers?A. In testing results.B. In work processes.C. In bodily functions.D. In training methods.33. What is the main feature of the typical tasks in memory training apps?A. Detailed.B. Effective.C. Demanding.D. Complicated.34. What do critics think memory training apps lack?A. Legal claims.B. Proven effects.C. Tailored services.D. Appealing concepts.35. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Can our memory be improved?B. Does brain training actually work?C. What have scientists found about memory?D. What does the brain training industry bring?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。

For more information, please visit .See you on Friday.21. Where should a runner go to pick up his packet at 8:30 am on Friday?A. Kings Point.B. Convention Center.C. Blue DomeD. BOK Center22. How long will the FITNATIC celebration last?A. Seven days.B. Five daysC. Two daysD. One day.23. What is the purpose of the passage?A. T o attract sports fans to apply for the activity.B. To inform the race participants of the activity.C. T o describe details related to the activity.D. T o collect money for the parking-lots.BMore than 2.25 billion cups of coffee are drunk throughout the world each day, and it’s likely that many taste bitter. Now, a new study suggests that coffee fans can make their drink sweeter by changing the color of their cups.Researchers from Oxford set out to prove whether the claim that coffee drunk from a white cup tastes biter was true. They used 36 volunteers and three different colored cups---blue, white and transparent glass--- to examine the claim.In one experiment, the white cup increased the intensity (浓度) of the coffee taste relative tothe transparent cup. Then, in a second experiment, coffee drunk from the white cup was found to taste less sweet when compared to the other colored cups, while the blue cup made the coffee taste the sweetest.The scientists believe that the color brown may be associated with bitterness, and coffee in a white cup appears the brownest.“Our study clearly shows that the color of a cup does influence our sense of the coffee taste,” leading author Dr. George Doorn, wrote in an article for The Conversation. “The effect of the color of the cup on the taste of the coffee reported here suggests that cafe owners should carefully consider the color of their cups,” he said. “The potential effects may spell the difference between a one-time purchase and a return customer.”Actually, the idea that color can change the food and drink taste came out many years ago. A study published last year reported that red, strawberry-flavored cake served on a white plate was rated as 10 percent sweeter than the same food presented on a black plate.24. The passage is mainly about _____.A. the popularity of sweet coffee.B. an experiment made in Oxford.C. the effect of cup color on coffee’s tasteD. useful tips on how to make coffee.25. In which cup will coffee taste the sweetest?A. A white cup.B. A blue cup.C. A transparent cupD. A brown cup26. Café owners should consider their cups’ color in order to ______.A. reduce the daily expensesB. show their taste in coffeeC. appeal to more customersD. make their café different.27. We learn from the passage that_____.A. coffee in a white cup tastes sweeter than that in a transparent glassB. over 2 billion cups of sweet coffee are drunk worldwide each year.C. Dr. George Doorn wrote an article about making conversations.D. the idea that color could affect the taste of drink is not new.CWe should feel grateful in our heart when we accept anything others sacrifice for us. However, we often unconsciously do the opposite, which may not be regarded as returning kindness with ingratitude, but have the equal power to harm each other. In particular, the closer the relationship is, the more determined we are.Jennifer, my friend Randy’s mother, is already over 70, poor eyesight and weak legs. But due to her character, she chose to live alone in the suburbs. No matter how busily Randy works, he would go there to visit her once or twice every week.That day as soon as he parked his car, Randy smelt the delicious smell of meat coming from her mother’s house. His mother said, “Your birthday is coming next week, so I’m preparing pork trotters (猪蹄) for you!” Seeing the steaming delicious trotters, he couldn’t help complaining, “I don’t like these things at all, so fatty.”On his way back, he called me, saying that he felt sorry. In fact, he longed to thank his mother and eat up that bowl of trotters. But he felt sorry that it took her too much time and energy. If he didn’t stop her strictly, he was afraid the same thing would continue. He would rather not eat trotters any more than have his mother overwork. I understand how he felt exactly. Each of us has done like that. Because of feeling sorry for others’ sacrifice, we purposely harden our heart against accepting others’ favor and even criticize them severely in order to frighten their goodness away and make them never do that again.This method may work, but it will hurt each other’s feelings. It’s not wrong logically, but wealways neglect another sound deep in our heart: because we’re afraid we can’t repay them, we’re unwilling to shoulder others’ goodness. So we reduce its value and refuse it severely. But to destroy others’ goodness is also to deny you.28. Randy refuse to eat the pork trotters his mother cooked because ____.A. he disliked them at allB. they were really very fatty.C. they weren’t his favorite tasteD. he didn’t want her to overwork.29. Randy telephoned the author to _____.A. express his apology to his motherB. complain about his motherC. apologize for his rudenessD. ask for a bowl of trotters.30. According to the author, we sometimes say “no” to others’ favor so that ______.A. they can be frightened awayB. they won’t continue doing thatC. we needn’t repay them laterD. we won’t feel sorry for their sacrifice31. In the last paragraph, the author implies that we should ____.A. refuse others’ favor immediatelyB. deal with others’ favor wiselyC. repay others’ goodness activelyD. shoulder others’ goodness completely.DFor a while, I wrote a “Tuesday tip” on my blog . It was about easy week-night dinners, organizing parties or perhaps finding time out for friends.About a year ago, I ran out of tips.The truth? As a busy working mom with five busy kids, I probably do have a few tips to share. But honestly, the bar is set pretty low---on a recent day when I was walking our dog, a stranger who knew I had five kids said, “Wow! You have a dog, too?! And it even looks like you sh owered today!” Yes, it’s true, I shower. Not every day, but most days. See, I’m telling the truth. Honestly,in this cold winter, I’m probably taking a shower more to warm up than to clean up.Other funny truths? I’m tired. In fact, for the past year, I’ve been too tired to type up any update on our life here in Lyons Den. It’s hard to arrange a career with all these kids. Although folks just believe that it must be so much easier now since all the kids are in school, I’m here to tell you, it’s not. It’s really not. When I get home from work, I’m often tearfully greeted by five kids and five homework folders filled with math facts, invitations, notices and artwork.All those happy smiling faces I share on Facebook are real. We are a happy family---thank God for that! But we’re not always smiling, and even in those rare best times when I can get all five kids looking at the camera, the odds would be that one of them isn’t wearing underwear, one is pinching (捏) someone behind the scenes and one is just perfectl y pronouncing “Damn!” So, less perfectly-posed pictures, but more telling the truth. Even if only on Tuesday.32. It seems that the author’s life used to be _____.A. tiringB. busyC. relaxingD. funny33. Which of the following is true about the author?A. She can’t get along well with her neighbors.B. She’s living a happy life with her familyC. She likes to have a shower every day.D. She has already closed her blog now.34. Which of the following words can best take the place of the word odds?A. answers.B. chances.C. solutionsD. ways.35. The passage mainly talks about _____.A. the happiness of a working motherB. the worry of a working motherC. the hardship of a working motherD. the bittersweet of a working mother第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
