Usually, you: do this when you want to tell people to be quiet.A new sculpture (雕像) by the Hudson River is trying to deliver: exactly this message: With her index finger pressed to her lips, the giant woman's head seems to be calling on people in Manhattan—one of the world'sbusiest :( and noisiest 1) areas to rethink the pace(节奏) of their lives. “Stop and listen,” said its creator, the Spanish artist Jaume Plensa. “Listen to the water talking to us. When it moves, the water makes a special sound, very special. Few: people ever pay attention to it.”Plensa started working on the sculpture two years ago. He calls it the most beautiful piece he has ever completed. The sculpture is so large (it's 24 metres tall): that people all across Manhattan can see it. Some people have watched it being put together since August. They wonder why the woman seems to be shushing. “I'd say it's telling New: York City to keep this area a secret,” said a local citizen. “We don't want to drive more people to work here.”Plensa says that by creating the sculpture, he is not just sending a message to Manhattan. “I'm targeting the ‘noise’ from the outside world, the said, “Close your eyes and look inside yourself. Try to listen to your own thoughts and your own dreams in this noisy time. Everyone has an amazing amount of beauty hidden inside of them.”4. Where is the sculpture mentioned in the article?A.

To stop people enjoying the special sound of the river.CIt was the middle of winter about 30 years ago. I was a young father with three little children depending on me. I worked in; a sawmill (锯木厂).As I got ready to go to work, I wrapped bandages (创可贴) around my fingers and put more in my pockets. Cutting and stacking wood for eight hours a day had caused my fingers to split (裂开) and blood can be seen at their tips in the cold, dry winter air.That day at work was harder than normal. We were short-handed on workers. So we had to do more work than usual. Besides, the machines kept breaking down, so we had to rush to repair them again and again. On top of that, all the heaters in the building had stopped working and we could see our breath as we spent hours working there!When the work day finally ended, I walked wearily toward the washroom, took off my work gloves, and checked my aching fingers. The splits were worse than ever and blood came through the bandages again I felt so tired. I wondered how long I could keep doing this, if things would ever get any better, and why life was so hard.After driving home, I tried to put a smile on my face as I opened the front door but instead, one appeared surprisingly, smiling at me and yelling “Daddy!” and put her little arms around my neck. I lifted my daughter up and my heart was filled with love. My tired body didn't feel so tired anymore. My-aches and pains disappeared into her hug. And the joy in my heart chased the sadness away. At that moment I kissed my little girl's face and held her tightly.I knew I could continue and things would get better.8. How do you understand the underlined sentence?A. The workers didn't have hands.B. The hands of the workers were small.C. The number of the workers was not enough.D. The length of the workers hand was not enough.9. What's the main purpose of the fourth paragraph?A. To tell us how hard-working the father was.B. To tell us how to deal with the problems in your work.C. To give some facts about the working conditions of the father.D. To show the father's awful and tiring feelings towards the hard life.10. What does the underlined word “one” refer to in the last paragraph?A. A smile.B. His daughter.C. The door.D. His heart.11. In the story, the author wants to express that ______.A. it is better not to work for so longB. it is important for kids to study hardC. the father felt hopeless about his lifeD. family can give us warm and supportDAre you thinking about travelling alone? You must have a million questions: Where should you go? Will there be someone to talk to? How do you stay safe? And is it all right to travel alone?In fact, travelling alone is not as scary as it seems. Here are some good tips.Choose a place where you feel comfortable and safeTruth be told, travelling alone for the first time is more about, the experience than the destination. 12 It could be somewhere close to home or somewhere you've already been with friends.Make a planAlways make a plan. That way you'll avoid worrying too much over where you're staying, what to see and how you're getting from A to B.Book hotels ahead of time13 Besides, when you book your hotel, ask if they will send a driver to pick you up.Talk to peopleIf you're going to a touristy-place like Thailand, there are lots of other people who are travelling alone. Most likely, they'll be easy to talk to and they'll want to communicate. 14 That happens a lot.Let someone know where you areYour family and friends love you and probably worry about you every day, so text them and let them know what you're up to throughout your trip. 15 And in case something did happen, they'll know where you are.根据短文内容，从下列选项中选出能填入文中空白处的最佳选项，选项中有一项为多余选项。

behaviours.Winston Churchill noted："We shape our buildings and then our buildings shape us."Buildings and the city environment have been found to influence our general emotion and wellbeing.Architects（建筑师）have often been focused on their imagination and design above how a space may influence its residents（居住者）.However，there are a number of architects moving in a new direction，interested in creating people﹣centred building designs.Research carried out by Colin Ellard of the University of Waterloo，Canada，has found that people are often strongly affected by building plex （复杂的）and interesting appearance design influences people much more positively than simple design.Many studies have shown the value of green space and woodland in a city environment and how they can help to reduce the stress that comes with city life.The visual （视觉的）complexity of green spaces plays into Ellard's theory that the human brain prefers complex and lively environment.Another study in Iceland in 2023 found that streets which vary because of their architecture were the most emotionally pleasant.This all leads to the idea that we want variation in our environments.Another research has shown that growing up in an city environment can double a person's chance of developing problems such as worry.It shows that the stress of city life is something that needs to be considered and new spaces should be designed with stress management and wellness in mind.It would be wrong to say style isn't important.We want things which look fantastic as well as work practically，but things can go wrong and influence us negatively if style becomes more important than the building itself.Architects who want to show their skills must consider the purpose of the building.For example，schools should look bright with open spaces，green areas and comfortable corners for reading and learning.No one wants a building to create bad feelings.If we can create spaces which appeal to residents，as well as achieving their purpose，then the end result is much more satisfying and much more likely to stand the test of time.Our cities are set to grow year on year with no end in sight，so we should make sure new development s are built more with people in mind.（1）What do you know about architects from the passage？A.They are running out of creativity.B.Their stress needs to be considered.C.They have to take tests from time to time.D.Their design starts to focus on human feelings.（2）The writer probably agrees that .A.there should be more buildings in green colour in citiesB.visually complex design is more likely to create stressC.it is a must to consider the building itself and its styleD.buildings with simple appearance bring us comfort（3）The words"appeal to"in the last paragraph are closest in meaning to .A.pleaseB.houseC.shapeD.upset（4）What is the writer's main purpose in writing this passage？A.To criticize architects for their great mistakes.B.To call for the people﹣centred design of buildings.C.To suggest how to make architectures emotionally pleasant.D.To stress the importance of architectures to a city environment.15．A 16﹣year﹣old boy named Li Tao lived in a small town in China.One day，while Li Tao was doing his science homework，he came up with a great idea.He worked out a way to make a new type of power supply（供应）for his town，which had a problem with its electricity supply.To make his idea come true，Li Tao began to experiment at home.He was so confident that nothing could stop him from inventing.He made and took apart many models.Even though he faced lots of challenges and failures，he didn't give up.He fixed his mistakes，changed his plans，and kept working hard.After two years of hard work，he finally succeeded.He made a small device（设备）that could change wind power into electrical power successfully.This was a new，environmentally﹣friendly way for his town's power problem.News about Li Tao's invention quickly spread around his school and town，and everyone really took pride in his achievement.The group of science﹣technology of the town decided to help him improve the invention.He was invited to give a speech to encourage other teenagers to learn more about science and be more creative in the Science and Technology Meeting.His story encourages teenagers that being young is not a barrier（阻碍）to achieve their dreams.Even a common teenager can do something amazing!（1）What was the problem of the town where Li Tao lived？A.Water pollution.B.Experiment device testing.C.Electricity supply.D.Wind power lightning protection.（2）When Li Tao faced challenges and failures，he .A.encouraged other teenagers to join himB.fixed his mistakes and kept working hardC.gave a speech and learnt more about scienceD.asked the group of science﹣technology for help（3）How did people feel after knowing Li Tao's invention？A.Excited.B.Proud.C.Confident.D.Surprised.16．We rely on our memory for sharing stories with friends or learning from our past experiences.Yet evidence shows that our memory isn't as consistent as we'd like to believe.There are countless reasons why tiny mistakes might happen each time we recall past events.And whenever these mistakes happen，they can have long﹣term effects on how we'll recall that memory in the future.Take storytelling for example.When we describe our memories to other people，we might ask ourselves whether it's important to get the facts straight，or whether we only want to make the listener laugh.And we might change the story's details depending on the listener's attitudes.It isn't only the message that changes，but sometimes it's also the memory itself.This is known as the"audience﹣tuning effect"，showing us how our memories can change automatically over time，as a product of how，when，and why we access them.In fact，sometimes simply the act of repeating a memory can be exactly what makes it easy to change.This is known as"retrieval﹣enhanced suggestibility".In a typical study of this effect，participants watched a short film，then took a memory test a few days later.But during the days between watching the film and taking the final test，two other things happened.First，half of the participants took a practice memory test.Second，all of the participants were given a description of the film to read，which contained some false details.Participants who took a practice memory test shortly before reading the false information were more likely to reproduce this false information inthe final memory test.Why might this be？One theory is that repeating our memories of past events can temporarily make those memories malleable.In other words，retrieving （找回）a memory might be a bit like taking ice﹣cream out of the freezer and leaving it in direct sunlight for a while.By the time our memory goes back into the freezer，it might have naturally become a little misshapen，especially if someone has influenced it purposely in the meantime.These findings lead us to wonder how much our most treasured memories have changed since the very first time we remembered them.Remembering is an act of storytelling，after all.And our memories are only ever as reliable as the most recent story we told ourselves.（1）The writer takes storytelling for example to prove that .A.it is impossible to change the listener's attitudesB.it is important to describe our memories directlyC.we can make other people laugh to y telling storiesD.we may change our memories according to the listener（2）What do you know about memory from the passage？A.Our memories can change our personalities.B.Our memories can correct mistakes on their own.C.We can take a practice memory test to strengthen our memories.D.We can reproduce the information while repeating our memories.（3）The word"malleable"in Paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to .A.reasonableB.valuableC.changeableD.controllable17．Clean electricity is the power of the future，but engineers are facing a big challenge.How can we store electricity to be used at times when the wind is not blowing and the sun is not shining？In some cases，the answer will be batteries；but in other cases，it could come from a variety of different solutions—starting with gravity.Gravity is the most abundant source of power on Earth.It's always been everywhere since the beginning of time.Nobody knew about it until around 1700，when Isaac Newton saw an apple fall from a tree in hisgarden.Newton asked himself the question："Why did that apple fall to the ground？" And he soon worked out the answer.Everything will fall to the ground if it can do so，because there is a massive force that pulls things towards the centre of the earth.Newton decided to call this force "gravity"，a word that then just meant "weight".Engineers have used gravity as a source of power for centuries，long before Newton first explained it.In particular，they used gravity to move water from one place to another to irrigate（灌溉）field s and bring water to cities.They knew that water would flow downhill，but never uphill，so they built structures to use the force of gravity most effectively.In 1907，engineers in Switzerland first used gravity for a new purpose：to store energy.They pumped（用泵抽送）water up a hill，where they stored it in a lake.Then when they needed more electricity，they let the water come back down the hill，driving electric turbines（涡轮机）as it fell.The idea was just so simple，and it is now used in many parts of the world.However，the problem is that "pumped storage" hydro schemes（抽水蓄能水电方案）can't be built just anywhere，as they need lots of water and big hills or mountains.Some experts believe that gravity systems are the cheapest way to store electricity.Gravity﹣stored electricity is maybe half the price of battery﹣stored electricity，but even so it is not cheap.In order to make gravity more effective，we would need to increase its force—and that，of course，is quite impossible.Yet gravity is not the only way of storing energy，and engineers are working on systems that store it using water pressure or compressed air...and even sand!Storage is one of the big scientific challenges of our time，as storage is the essential partner of wind power and solar power.We need clean electricity 24 hours a day，not just when the sun is shining or the wind is blowing.（1）The word "abundant" in Paragraph 2 probably means .A．expensiveB．environmentalC．famousD．plentiful（2）From the passage，we can know that .A．gravity systems are the cheapest way to store electricityB．"pumped storage" hydro schemes can be built on small hillsC．engineers in Switzerland first stored energy by using gravity creativelyD．experts have already made gravity more effective by increasing its force（3）Why does the author write this passage？A．To tell the story of finding gravity.B．To show the importance of gravity.C．To call on people to use clean electricity.D．To introduce a good way to store electricity.四．书面表达（共1小题）18．某英文网站正在开展以"突破自我，我拼过"为主题的征文活动。

AFour students are talking about what they want to change about themselves most in the class meeting.Student A—What I want to change about myself most is my pessimistic attitude（悲观的态度）toward life. Once, I thought I didn’t do well in an exam, so I became very sad. But when I saw the result, it was not as bad as I thought. I worried about it too much. I hope I coud be optimistic （乐观）!Student B—I want to change my bad temper（脾气）the most. I often get angry and hurt the people I love. Every time my mother cares about me, I complain that she talks too much. But I know she loves me very much. I shouldn’t do that. I will try to change my temper.Student C—The only thing I am not satisfied with myself is my teeth. My front teeth are so big. When I take photos, I avoid giving big smiles. I am also afraid that my classmates will laugh at me. If I had smaller teeth like other people, I would be very happy.Student D—I often dream about having long legs. They would not only make me look more beautiful , but they could also help me run faster. When I take an active part in running races at school, other runners always pass me. I try my best, but it doesn’t work because of my short legs.1.Student A wants to be more________.A.confidentB.pessimisticC.optimisticD.excellent2.What is student B’s problem?A.She often loses her temper.B.She always hurts the pepople she loves.C.She can’t stand her mum’s bad temper.D.She doesn’t know how to get along with others.3.Who may not like taking photos?A.Student AB. Student BC. Student CD. Student D4.Why does student D dream to have long legs?A.Because she was laughed at by her classmates.B.Because she wants to look beautiful and run faster.C.Because she wants to take part in running races.D.Because she is the shortest in her class.BBuilding a country is never easy. It takes hard work from generation（一代人）to generation. But how about destroying it? A new report from The Guardian said long time of climate change can do that.Tuvalu（图瓦卢）is a Pacific island nation with nine islands and 12,000 people. It has long been at risk from rising sea levels. Now, 40 percent of the area in its capital is underwater at high tide（高潮）. By the end of the century, it is believed that all the islands will be underwater. So many people in Tuvalu have often moved around the country and even to other countries.To help with the problem, the country plans to build its country in the metaverse（元宇宙）. The digital （数字化的）country will recreate the same landscape and keep its cultural and historical records. No matter where they live in the real world, the people in this country will have the identity（身份）and “live” in its online coummunities. The government hopes to manage and serve them online.This news made many people in Tuvalu excited. But Li Zuxi, director of the metaverse lab of Qingbo Intelligent Technology, said it may not be the best solution. “Though the digital nation belongs to Tuvalu, it’s still built on a metaverse platform. Now the metaverse is not mature（成熟的）, which may bring some problems.” He gave us an example. If people from other countries enter the space of the digital country but just show their names, how do people know if they do or do not truly belong to that country? Li added that instead of trying our best to build digital nations, it’s better to pay attention to saving the real world now.5.What problem does Tuvalu face now?A.a smaller populationB.rising sea levelsC.climate changesD.less living space6.To solve the problem, Tuvalu plans to _________.A.move its people to other countriesB.set up its online communitiesC.build an underwater countryD.deal with the climate problem7.What is Li Zuxi’s opinion about the news from Tuvalu?A.The future of Tuvalu’s solution is bright.B.The metaverse platform where Tuvalu will be built on is perfect.C.Saving the real world is more important than planning for the future.D.He calls for more countries to build their digital nations.8.In Which part of the magazine can we read the text?A.TravelB. TechnologyC.CultureD.ArtC①As the days get colder, the flu season comes. The sneezes（喷嚏）from people who have a cold sometimes smell unpleasant. Where does the smell come from?①In fact, the thing we sneeze out is mostly our saliva（口水）. Saliva is 99.5 percent water and 0.5 percent other things like protein and minerals. When some bacteria（细菌）come into your mouth, they break down some protein in your saliva. This process sometimes produces gases like VSCs （挥发性硫化物）—a group of unpleasant gases. Narmally, they stay in the saliva. But when we sneeze out saliva, the water evaporates quickly in tehe air, letting out the gases and settin free bad smells.①Moreover, when we sneeze, it’s not only saliva that comes out but also some things in the nose and throat. For those who have a cold, there are probably snot and sputun filled with bacteria in their noses and throats. Pushed by the air pressure from sneezing, they may get out together with saliva, providing a mix of different bad smells. That’s why you can smell more unpleasant sneezes in the classroomduring the flu season.①Researchers have found that different smells of sneezes have different causes.

Nowadays, virtual products have become a rising trend（潮流）on Taobao.On June 9, the topic of “Have you bought virtual mosquitoes（蚊子）for your friends” started a discussion on Weibo. If you buy virtual mosquitoes for your friends, someone will add your friend on WeChat and buzz to them by word simply for fun.This is just one of the examples of virtual products. There is also a “virtual tree hole”. This means that you can pay for someone who listens to you to talk about your life. “Virtual supervision（监督）” is when you need someone to keep an eye on you if you can’t study or read carefully. The price is usually from 10 yuan to several hundred yuan, depending on different needs.Under the increasing pressure of working, studying and relationships, more people want to find ways to lower their stress and keep themselves happy. “Some secrets can’t be shared with family and friends. Talking to strangers is a better way for me,” Yu Xiaoyu, 30, who has bought a “virtual tree hole” said. “Also, strangers are more objective（客观的）to look at my problems.” It’s also less trouble for family and friends because they are also busy, Yu added.However, the experience isn’t always good. Y u met a “tree hole” that didn’t pay much attention to her problem. “It’s a matter of luck,” Yu said. “Sometimes you happen to talk to someone who are really patient and even professional. Sometimes you meet someone who ends upmaking you feel even worse.”Buying virtual products shows young people’s emotional（情感的）needs. However, there is also a risk that they may trust strangers more when they are down. It’s still important to think about how safe this vitual service is, especially when it asks for more money.13.What do people buy virtual mosquitoes for?A.They want to discuss with their friends through the virtual mosquitoes.B.They want the virtual mosquitoes to accompany their friends.C.They do that just for fun by buzzing to them.D.It is a trend and they do that just to follow the trend.14.What can we learn from Yu’s experience?A.You can always get what you want.B.Anyone can provide virtual services.C.Family and friends are more objective.D.Virtual products are not always satisfying.15.What might be the writer’s idea about virtual products?A.Virtual products will become a trend in the future.B.It’s necessary for more people to buy them to lower their stress.C.It’s worth buying them no matter how expensive they are.D.Each coin has two sides, so enjoy them but pay attention to them.16.What can be the best title for the text?A.People’s new needsB.Gifts that can’t be touched.C.Ways to relax.D.The popularity of virtual services第二节阅读短文，从方框内所给的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，其中有一个多余的选项。
