Great readThis was a cute, lighthearted book that explores the life of a Craigslist addict, and how Craiglist, a large free classifieds (分类广告) website, got her through her life so far. The story was well thought out and pretty realistic when it comes to life struggles. It gets a little unbelievable towards the end, and I don’t like it when authors conform to the ‘the world is perfect’ viewpoint most books have, but, that my pessimist breaking through.The book needs some serious editing.

(click for more)1．Who likes the book My Life on Craigslist most?A．Krysi Joseph.B．Annabellall.C．Kindle Customer.D．Lovetoread.2．Which of the following do both Kindle Customer and Krysi Joseph agree on?A．The book deserves a good rating.B．The ending of the book is disappointing.C．The book is popular with Craigslist addicts.D．The book would have been perfect without editing errors.3．What is the purpose of the text ?A．To advertise a bestseller.B．To recommend a website.C．To share a woman’s story.D．To present reviews of a book.Smoking is even a tradition in Chinese celebrations. At my wedding, we handed out the traditional candies to people who came. I had said to my wife, Ellen, that handing out packets of cigarettes was wrong, as it just encouraged people to continue a deadly habit. “But it’s traditional,” she replied, “People would think we were mean if we don’t!”Over the years I’ve been given cigarettes as gifts and have always handed them straight back. This might make me look ungrateful in Chinese eyes, but I can’t understand the logic behind handing someone a gift that will cause them to smell terrible, have awful breath, and even worse, kill them.This year the university I work at has taken the bold step of making the entire campus “smoke free”. As my students are either doctors doing postgraduates studies, or medical students on their way to being doctors, I thought they would be in favor of such a move, but I was wrong. Many of them have complained to me that they see this as depriving them of their civil rights and that they should be allowed to smoke when and where they like.When I pointed out to them that cigarettes do harm not only to those smoking themselves, but even to those breathing in second hand smoke, the argument was dismissedwith a wave. “Those studies aren’t conclusive”, one doctor replied. “Besides, my grandmother told me that smoking is manly.” Tempting(诱人的) as it was to ask if she was also a doctor, I let the argument go and went off in search of some fresh air.4．Which of the following is a consequence of smoking according to the author?A．It will leave you breathless.B．People believe you are mean.C．People think you are ungrateful.D．It will make your smell unpleasant. 5．What attitude do many of the author’s students have towards the entire campus “smoke free”?A．Objective.B．Unconcerned.C．Negative.D．Positive. 6．What does the underlined word “depriving” in paragraph 3 mean?A．Robbing.B．Accusing.C．Informing.D．Reminding. 7．In which column of a newspaper is this text probably found?A．Technology.B．Entertainment.C．Art.D．Life.Artificial intelligence (AI ) has been increasingly good at fooling people. A series of photos showing former US president Donald Trump being aggressively arrested by police have caught people’s attention. They were fake but very convincing.Created by the AI program Midjourney, the photos were highly realistic, from the characters’ movements to the surroundings. However, many details can give away the fact that they are made by AI. The Washington Post’s technology writer Shira Ovide shared her tips. The main idea is to spot the problems anything that would look strange in a photo.AI software has a history of generating human hands incorrectly. It sometimes can create hands with more than five fingers. This is because AI isn’t sure what a “hand” exactly is, according to Popular Science. The data AI uses to learn often show hands and fingers in various gestures, which can be very confusing for AI.AI-generated images also usually contain details that are against reality. To spot this, focus on items like accessories. For example, people in an image may be missing earrings or one part of their sunglasses. If there’s text in an image, such as a newspaper or poster, it’s usually garbled (篡改), even though the text may look realistic from a distance.Another thing AI is terrible at handling is the background. If there’s a crowd in the image, people’s faces in the background are usually blurry - or they don’t have faces at all!The development of AI-generated art also raises alarm bells about how these fakeimages could be used to spread misinformation. “I think misinformation is going to hit an all-time high,” Jamie Cohen, a digital culture and AI expert in the US, told New York Post. Generating an AI artwork is to “create reality”, Cohen argued, adding that, being able to tell whether the work is real or not requires high media literacy(素养) skills. “The world may not be ready for how realistic the images have become,” Shane Kittelson, a US researcher, told The Washington Post.8．Why are Donald Trump’s photos mentioned in the first paragraph?A．To draw more people’s attention.B．To make people convinced of the news.C．To show the AI-generated images were fake.D．To prove that it’s easy for AI to cheat people.9．Why does AI generate human hands incorrectly according to the text?A．It is unable to recognize human hands.B．The data it uses to learn contain errors.C．It doesn’t fully understand human hands.D．It has insufficient data about human hands.10．Which of the following will Jamie Cohen agree with?A．AI artworks may not be reflective of true creativity.B．It’s high time to address the risks posed by AI works.C．AI artworks will replace traditional art forms in the future.D．Detecting real art demands strong media literacy competence.11．Where is the text probably from?A．A news report.B．A diary.C．A research paper.D．A science fiction.Scientists have found that floating solar panels could provide a huge amount of electricity if they were placed on lakes and other bodies of water around the world. Floating solar panels could also help save water and protect land.Solar panels — also known as “photovoltaic” panels — are used to turn sunlight into electricity. Most solar panels are placed on land in large collections called solar farms. But recently people have begun to explore putting floating solar panels on water. Because these panels float, some people call them “floatovoltaies (浮动光伏)”.The researchers behind the new study looked at 114,555 reservoirs (水库) worldwide. They used computer programs to figure out how much electricity could be produced yearly by covering 30% of these reservoirs with floating solar panels. The answer was surprisingly large — more than twice the amount of energy the United States generates in a year. And 10 times as much energy as all the solar power currently being generated in the world. The researchers described the results as “remarkable”.The scientists found that floatovoltaies would be especially useful when reservoirs were near smaller cities (50,000 people or less). The researchers say there are about 6,256 cities around the world where floating solar panels could provide all the electricity the cities need.Floatovoltaies can also help save water by limiting evaporation (蒸发) from reservoirs. The scientists say that solar panels covering just 30% of the reservoirs’ surfaces could save as much water as 300 million people would use in a year. There are several other reasons that make floatovoltaies a good idea. Photovoltaic panels work better when they’re not extremely hot. The water helps cool the panels so that they create more energy. Putting solar panels on water also means that there’s no need to clear land for a solar farm. That’s more and more important as countries work to fight climate change and protect natural spaces for wild animals.12．What did the researchers think of the study results?A．Skeptical.B．Amazing.C．Worrying.D．Interesting. 13．Where should floating solar panels be placed to make them extremely helpful?A．In small cities with more rain and less sunshine.B．In huge cities with many small lakes and rivers.C．In tiny cities near reservoirs with less than 50,000 people.D．In large cities far from reservoirs with more than 50,000 people.14．Why is covering reservoirs with floating solar panels useful?A．It can help reduce water evaporation.B．It can prevent water from being polluted.C．It purifies the water available for consumption.D．It provides enough sunlight for the solar panels.15．What’s the best title for the text?A．The methods of using floatovoltaiesB．The prospects of the power industryC．Solar Farms —Turning Sunlight into ElectricityD．Floating Solar Panels — Making Energy, Saving Water二、七选五There are hundreds of worthy destinations in the country catering to all tastes. At the top of that list is Chengdu, the perfect jumping-off point for those in search of a mix of stunning natural scenery, wildlife and some of most incredible food on the planet. In recent years the city has expanded its offerings, including a number of new projects tourists will want to experience. 16It’s the happiest city in China.If visiting a place with happy locals is a priority for you, there’s no better city to hit than Chengdu. It has been voted the happiest city in China for 12 continuous years by an annual survey conducted by Oriental Outlook. 17It has got one most beautiful bookstore in China.The new location in Dujiangyan is the second Zhongshuge bookstore in the provincial capital. 18 Inspired by Dujiangyan’s ancient irrigation system, the new bookstore has its own features. The beautiful environment of the bookstore can attract more people who do not love books, and awaken their interest and memory in reading.There’s a spectacular new massive airport.One of the world’s most eye-catching new airports, Chengdu’s Tianfu International Airport is as modern as it gets. Beginning operations in 2021, Thantu Airport is the largest civil airport. 19 Travelers can experience a series of cutting-edge technologies at Tianfu, including facial recognition software and self-check-in booth.20There’re plans to turn Chengdu into a “Western China Science City”. Travelers visiting the “Science City” can expect to see many examples of eco-conscious and new wave architecture created by some of the most famous firms in the world. Among these is the world’s first “Unicorn Island”, the country’s next high-tech unicorn. There will also be a low-carbon Future Science and Technology City.A．The arts scene is taking off.B．It’s also a city focused on the future.C．There’s no harm in starting to dream about your next visit now.D．It’s expected to handle up to 60 million passengers per year by 2025.E．Its results combine big data, questionnaires, site visits and expert opinions.F．The first, which opened in 2017 in central Chengdu, is modeled after terrace fields.G．Whether you’re dreaming of business travel or just post-pandemic trip, here are some reasons.三、完形填空Five years ago, I was a trail ride leader at a holiday farm in Victoria.

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

Many people call this plant a tree, but it is a kind of grass.Like other kinds of grass, a bamboo plant may be cut very low to the ground, but it will growback very quickly. A Japanese scientist reported one bamboo plant which grew 1.5 metres (4 feet) in 24 hours! Bamboo grows almost everywhere in the world except Europe. There are more than 1, 000 kinds of bamboo.Not all bamboo looks the same. Some bamboo plants are very thin. They may only grow to be a few centimeters wide while others may grow to more than 30 centimetres (1 foot) across.

You can get there by sea. It is an interesting place and it had a long history. Macao is part of China and most people living there are Chinese.The first Europeans to go to Macao came from Portugal. More than four hundred years ago the Portuguese went there to trade with China. Some settled and made their homes there. They built strong forts to guard the city and the harbor. They also built churches, schools, hospitals and other places. Slowly the city grew. People from many countries came to live and work in Macao.Today many people visit Macao. Some only go there to watch dog-racing or motor-racing or to gamble with their money. But Macao is a quiet and peaceful place. It is pleasant just to walk around and look at old buildings and forts. You feel you are back in the old days. Of course, some of the buildings are now in ruins. The Church of St. Paul has only the front wall with many steps leading up to it. But it is still interesting to see.When you are hot and tired, there are small cool gardens to rest in. when you are hungry, there are good restaurants with many kinds of food.

Enthusiasm will take you further than any amount of experience. ”How right they were!“Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.”wrote Ralph Waldo Emerson. It is the paste that helps you hang on there when the going tough. It is the inner voice that whispers, “I can do it!”when others shout, “No, you can’t !”It took years and years for the early work of Barara McClintock, a geneticist who won the 1983 Nobel Prize in medicine , to be generally accepted. Yet she didn’t stop working on her experiments. Work was such a deep pleasure for her that she never thought of stopping.We are all born with wide-eyed, enthusiastic wonder and it is this childlike wonder that gives enthusiastic people such youthful air, whatever their age was. At 90,cellist Palblo Cassls would start his day by playing Bach. A s the music flowed through his fingers his stooped shoulders would strengthen and joy would reappear in his eyes . As author and poet Samuei Ulman once wrote ,“ Years wrinkle the skin ,but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul.”Enthusiastic people also love what they do, regardless of money or power . Patricia Mellrath, retired director of the Missouri Repertory Theatre in Kansas City, was once asked where she got her enthusiasm. She replied, “My father ,a lawyer long ago told me , I never made a dime until I stopped working for money.”If we cannot do what we love as a full-time career, we can as a hobby. Elizabeth Layton was 68 before she began to draw. This activity ended periods of depression that had troubled her for at least 30 years ,and the quality of her led one critic to say,“I’m tempted to call Layton a genius.”We can’t afford to waste tears on “might-have-beens”. We need to turn the tears into sweat as wego after “what-can-be ”.We need to live each moment whole-heartedly, which all our senses-including pleasure in the sweet smell of a back-yard garden, the simple picture of a six-year –old ,the beauty of a rainbow.46.

Enthusiasm can give you courage and strength in difficult times.B. If you don’t have enthusiasm, you can achieve nothing.C. Enthusiastic people never consider money and fame.D.

This is not true for adults(成年人), although incorrect glasses may not be good for children under 10. Ready-made glasses, and not wearing glasses when you should, won’t do harm to your eyes, but you may see better with glasses that are specially made for you.Watching too much television is bad for your eyes. This is not true. People with easily affected eyes may find that they get red and aching from staring at a fixed distance for long periods, but there won’t be any lasting effects.Carrots will help you see in the dark. Carrots are rich in betacarotene(胡萝卜素), which the body can change into vitamin A, too little of which can cause night blindness. However, people in some countries don’t need to worry about vitamin A deficiency(缺乏). Night blindness is more likely to be connected with another vision problem.51.According to the passage, which of the following is true?A.Ready-made glasses will do harm to one’s eyes.B.Wearing the wrong type of glasses may do harm to children’s eyes.C.The human body is unable to change betacarothene into vitamin A.D.Watching too much television may do harm to children’s eyes.52.Night blindness is most likely caused by ______.A. staring for long periodsB. too much betacaroteneC. not enough vitamin AD. vision problems53.According to the article eye problems can be corrected by ______.A. wearing specially-made glassesB. performing eye exercisesC. cutting back on televisionD. eating more carrots54.Watching too much television can cause ______.A. night blindneseB. lasting eye problemsC. a number of vision problemsD. eye trouble for a limited time55.The main purpose of this arricle is to ______.A.tell people of the importance of their eyesB.tell people how to protect their eyesC.tell people to have more carrotsD.tell people something about their eyes上学期9月份月考试卷 高二英语（平行班）第II 卷(35分)第一节 短文改错（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）My brother Tom was very selfish when he was a little boy.

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

Firstly, what confuses me most is the proper use of tenses. I often mix up tenses, leading to low scores on my writings, What’s more, I s truggle to find appropriate wordsto express myself accurately. Despite my massive efforts to expand my vocabulary, words still fail me when I need to write. In addition, I find it difficult to make my writing well-structured and coherent, which frustrates me a lot.I’d appreciate it if you could give me some practical suggestions on my problems. Looking forward to your reply.Yours,Li Hua第二节(满分25分)Before I knew it, I had only one day left for the project. In a panic I quickly glued together whatever materials I could find, my hands shaking with the weight of each hasty decision. The finished result looked miserable. However, several of my classmates, including Nate, had created amazingly detailed buildings. They used materials like clay, wood and so on and their constructions were highly praised by Mr. Smith. When I saw their models, I felt even more embarrassed about mine. It was apparent that they had put a lot more time into the assignment than I had.That taught me a great lesson. I learned from that day the importance of deciding on my priorities and budgeting my time. From then on, I tackled things a lot earlier instead of putting things off until tomorrow. As a result, not only did I finish my tasks ontime, but I also felt better because I didn’t have to panic at the last minute. At the end of the semester, my work was chosen by Mr. Smith on another occasion. Seeing my change, my parents and my sister were so proud of me. It dawned on me that getting things done on time instead of being a procrastinator really counted.听力录音稿Text 1M: Do you have any idea what’s wrong with my houseplant It gets plenty of sun and enough plant food...W: Are you watering it too often Remember this plant comes from the desert where there’s hardly any rain.M: Ah..Maybe that’s the problem!Text 2M: It seems to be human nature to pursue what we don’t have. Tall people want to be shorter, and short people want to be taller... W: I know. For example, when I was younger, my cousin always wanted my golden hair, and I wanted dark hair like hers.Text 3W: Hi, are there any tickets left for tonight’s concertM: Sorry, they’re sold out. But I can put you on the waiting list, in case there are any cancellations tonight. Would you like me to do thatW: Oh, yes, please. Let me give you my phone number.Text 4M: Oh, this is so annoying! We’ve been driving around for ages, and I haven’t seen a single space.W: There’s a street party going on in town today. That’s probably why it’s busy. Let’s try the supermarket...

Hey, what’s wrong with your screen It’s all dark and the colors look strange.W: Oh! I’ve been using an app called “Sunset” to help me sleep at night.M: Really HowW: Well, studies show that too much blue light from screens can make sleeping difficult. So, in the evenings, the app puts a red filter (滤光器) over the screen to cancel it out.M: Oh, interesting. Does it helpW: Yeah, I think so! I also listen to white noise, which helps me fall asleep too.Text 7M: Can we do something about the temperature in here I have so many emails to deal with today, but my hands are so cold that I can hardly type my report!W: I know. I’ve been struggling too. But the heat probably won’t be turned on until the end of the month.M: Why notW: It’s a part of the company’s plans to save energy.M: Well, I can understand that. But how are we supposed to work in these conditionsW: I guess we always have the choice to work from home.M: True. But before my youngest daughter starts school, it’s just too difficult for me to do that.

Here are the basketball courts. Then just behind them, you’ll see the football field and the running track. And that building over there is our swimming pool.M: Wow! There wasn’t room for anything like this at my previous school. I was on the swimming team, but we had to travel to use the city pool for our practices.W: Well, we’ve certainly got plenty of space. The arts teaching here is also excellent. We have a music studio and our own theater. M: Amazing!W: So, where would you like to go firstM: Well, I’m quite interested to see the science facilities. I’m hoping for a career in medicine.W: Okay, great! Well, the laboratories have all been updatedrecently, so we’ve got some really good equipment. Follow me. Text 10On my recent business trip to Shanghai, I met up with a local friend who took me out for a very interesting evening meal. At the Community AI Canteen, everything is done by robots. When you walk in there, you place your order on a screen. Using robotic arms, the intelligent cooking system then cooks your food before packing it up... It even adjusts the temperature, depending on whether you want to eat it straight away or take it home with you! To pay, you place your food on a smart cash desk, which immediately calculates (计算) the cost. There’s even a 24-hour noodle machine just outside, which offers hot and fresh food around the clock. The canteen offers a huge amount of choices and the dishes taste great. It is really fun to get “a taste of the future”. However, I’m not sure I would like all restaurants to be run by robots. I can see the benefits for busy families or office workers needing a quick lunch, but what about lonely older people who would miss the human touch I do think we will see more places like this in the future, though. At best, a human waiter can serve around 100 people in a day. The AI system can serve double that figure, making it good for business.荆州中学2024-2025学年高二上学期9月月考英语试题命题人：审题人：（全卷满分150分考试时间120分钟）第一部分听力(共两节，满分30分)第一节(共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分)听下面5段对话。

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

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

Come will continue to provide museum guides as we have been doing it for years, which intends to enhance people’s understanding and attention to museums.

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

It was time for my daily video call with my parents. This wasn’t just a casual chat. It was a tradition deeply rooted in our family. Every day, we shared stories from our day, which was a practice that had started years ago around our dinner table.I still remember clearly the night it all began. I was in high school, buried under my homework and feeling the weight of academic pressure.

Sadly, the doctor laid the lifeless body on the bed and then his grandmother held his body close and began whispering in his ear. Surprisingly, he came back to life in her arms.He was 5 when his father died and 2 days later, his baby sister died too. He was raised the 10th out of 12 children by his widowed (寡妇的) mother during The Great Depression. At 7 he was already helping to support his family by selling their vegetables and milk. When he was 20, he married a woman called Jean. In order to support his new family, he quit school and sold pots and pans.Life as a salesman was unpredictable and so for years, the couple struggled financially.

Authorities in China have tried to keep the animals away from populated areas with piles of fruit and vegetables and physical barriers. The herd was spotted last week on the outskirts (郊区) of Kunming.“One potential explanation for the elephant migration is overcrowding in the nature reserve these animals once called home,” says George, an elephant specialist at Colorado State University. Asian elephants are endangered, only around 300 surviving in China, but the population living in the reserves of the Xishuangbanna region has been growing in recent years. George says this wayward (任性的) group might have set out to find a new home with less competition for resources.“We’ve seen elephants expanding their range for decades now, as their populations increase, and they search for more food for the growing herd,” says Becky Chen, a conservation scientist at the Zoological Society of London who has studied elephant-human interactions. Other experts wonder if this is an example of a herd being misled by an inexperienced leader, or if the decision to roam was an almost random choice.Authorities have instructed residents along the route to stay inside if the elephants are nearby and avoid disturbing the herd. If the animals can’t be turned backto their former forested home, scientists and land managers may need to make provisions (准备) for the elephants to live permanently in Kunming.Chen says she hopes the situation will raise awareness of human-elephant conflict and elephant conservation. “What we have to learn is not how to solve the problem, but how to increase tolerance,” she says. “How can we use this event to let everybody pay attention to coexistence between people and animals?”8. Which is the possible reason for elephant migration?A. The population of people.B. Inhabitant loss.C. Annual migration.D. An act of a misleading head.9. What does the underlined word “roam” in paragraph 4 mean?A. Settle.B. Wander.C. Leave.D. Accompany.10. What may Chen agree with?A. It takes long to live in harmony with animals.B. It is important to reflect on how to live with animals.C. The increasing elephants threaten human’s settlement.D. The endangered elephants migrate due to human development.11. Which section does the story most likely come from in a newspaper?A. Nature.B. Health.C. Entertainment.D. Life.DIf electric bikes haven’t caught your attention yet, here’s one that might. Okapi, a Boston-based start-up, is producing a unique e-bike that bridges the gap between motorcycles and ordinary bikes.These aren’t normal bikes. If the futuristic appearance doesn’t give them away, the specs (规格) will: Okapi’s bikes have an all-electric range of up to 40 miles and a top speed of around 30 mph. Those aren’t crazy numbers, but they are more than adequate for an ordinary bike. The company’s selling its bikes for just under $3,000. That’s in line with other e-bikes’ pricing, but Okapi’s bikes look more appealing thanthe others, which try (with varying degrees of success) to look like normal bicycles.The bikes’ full suspension, hidden storage, and 1,000-watt motor all add up to a fun ride. Okapi’s design appears to be stronger and more able to handle the bumps (碰撞) than many other electric bikes, some of which appear to be modeled after old models. The main downside to Okapi’s design is that it supports a maximum of 280 pounds, which may stop some riders enjoying the bike.Okapi’s approach to the e-bike is a little different from others’. While more than one company tries to hide their electric powertrain (动力系统) underneath slim bodywork, Okapi puts it all out for the world to see in a big, square battery pack. There’s almost a futuristic dirt bike look to the bike, which is less awkward than it sounds.Electric bikes are getting cheaper, almost every day, but Okapi’s product charges a high price: The Starter Edition bike costs $2,989.98. The good news is that Okapi’s bike looks better and stronger than many offerings on the market today.Though they’re not the most mainstream product out there, e-bikes are worth the coin at almost any price. If you’re considering buying an electric bike, do it. E-bikes absolutely offer you an enjoyable and exciting experience, even on the cheaper end.12. What do we know about Okapi’s new bike?A. Its look is normal.B. Its speed is steady.C. It has a lower price.D. It has a limited load.13. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 4 refer to?A. The battery pack.B. Slim bodywork.C. The electric powertrain.D. Okapi’s approach.14. What is the author’s attitude toward e-bikes?A. Objective.B. Unclear.C. Conservative.D. Supportive.15. Which of the following could be the best title for the text?A. E-bikes: Cooler than You ThinkB. E-bikes: a Future Leader of BikesC. E-bikes: a Better Replacement for CarsD. E-bikes: a Mainstream Way of Transportation第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

湖北省恩施鄂西南三校联盟考试2023-2024学年高二上学期9月月考英语试题
湖北省恩施鄂西南三校联盟考试2023-2024学年高二上学期9月月考英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解First released in the late 1950s, Lego has become an iconic toy, which is loved and appreciated by millions around the world. Here, we’ve put together some of the Lego sets that may appeal to you.Darth Maul Lego HeadCost: $1, 255If you don’t know who he is, then I suggest you watch Star Wars: Episode I-The Phantom Menace. This Lego set contains over 1, 800 small individual pieces, making one hell of a set to complete. If you have the time, patience and desire to put together a set like this, you can earn yourself some serious bragging (吹嘘) rights in your Lego social circle!Rebel Blockade RunnerCost: $1, 330One of the biggest Lego sets on the list is the Rebel Blockade Runner. It’s pretty giant, to say the least, and is made up of over 1, 700 pieces and is from Star Wars: Episode IV-A New Hope. If you’re also a Star Wars fan, you should seriously think about adding this to your collection!Eiffel TowerCost: $1, 455Breaking out of the Star Wars is the Eiffel Tower, released in 2007. With 3, 428pieces, this is the tallest Lego set on the market and should only be attempted if you have the determination and patience to see it through! It was built to 1: 300 scale (比例尺) from the real tower.LECA Automobile (LEGO Inside Tour Exclusive 2005 Edition)Cost: $2, 350As one of the top 5 most expensive Lego sets in the world, it’s not the coolest or most pretty looking Lego set. However, it’s different and rare, and includes 4, 060 pieces. So, if cars are your thing, please click here to know more about it.1．What do the Darth Maul Lego Head and Rebel Blockade Runner have in common?A．They are sold at the same price.B．They contain the same pieces.C．They relate to the same movie.D．They were released in the same year. 2．What do we know about the Eiffel Tower?A．It is the most expensive Lego set.B．It is a mini version of the real tower.C．It is relatively easy to put it together.D．It is the biggest Lego set in the world. 3．Where can we probably read the text?A．In a science report.B．In a newspaper.C．In a fashion magazine.D．On a website.Today, the original Beetle has largely disappeared from the world’s roads since Volkswagen stopped producing it in Germany in 1978. But the instantly recognizable car was once everywhere. From the 1970s to the 1990s, more than 21 million Beetles were produced worldwide. Many adults in their 40s or above have a story about the Beetle, or at least a memory.Part of its universal appeal is its unique look. There’s something about the car that just makes people smile: its happy shape, its cheerful colors, and perhaps its small size. However, the smiles that beetles evoke, in people are not simply due to their design. It has a character almost. It has a sort of soul in a way. It’s beyond a machine. For the better part of a century this car has been a part in people’s lives. Seeing these cars on the road is like a time capsule. It opens people to memories and stories that might otherwise go untold. By allowing us to travel back in time, they remind us of what’s important. In today’s world, this car represents something very basic and earthy and genuine. Exactly the kind of travel we need right now.“My parents had three, a white one, then a red one, and then an orange one. It was the car I grew up with,” said actor Ewan McGregor. “They would put us in the back of the Beetle in Scotland and drive to France for camping holidays in summer. My first car was a 1978 Beetle and now I own two, parked at my home in Los Angeles.”McGregor thinks the car’s future is electric. He has recently turned his 1978 model into a fully electric car. “Moving forward, maybe we’ll just have to think; smaller cars, low emissions (排放), and something that makes us feel happy,” he says.4．When was the production of Beetles stopped in Germany?A．In the 1990s.B．In the 1980s.C．In the late 1970s.D．In the early 1960s.5．Which of the following best explains “evoke” underlined in paragraph 2?A．To keep an unpleasant feeling in one’s mind.B．To find out information about one’s character.C．To bring a feeling or a memory into one’s mind.D．To ask somebody to do something in a rude way.6．Why does Ewan McGregor own two Beetles?A．He wants to be reminded of his childhood.B．They are used to decorate his new home.C．He has too many children for just one car.D．His parents have left one of their cars to him.7．In which section of a newspaper does this text most probably appear?A．Advertisement.B．Lifestyle.C．Environment.D．Economy.Our city is in a sorry state. Outdoor pollution kills 4.2 million people a year, according to the World Health Organization. Concrete and tarmac (柏油碎石材料) absorb the sun’s rays rather than reflecting them back into space, and also replace plants which would otherwise cool things down. The continuous spread of buildings and roads thus turns urban areas into heat islands, discomforting residents and worsening dangerous heatwaves.A possible answer is trees. Their leaves may destroy at least some chemical pollutants (污染物) and provide shade. In 2019, researchers at the University of Wisconsin found that American cities need 40% tree coverage to cut urban heat back meaningfully. Unfortunately, not all cities — and especially not those springing up in the world’s poor countries — are blessed with parks, private gardens or even street trees in sufficient numbers.Miyawaki Akira, a plant ecologist at Yorkhama National University, in Japan, has developed a new way to increase unban greening. It is to plant miniature simulacra (微型仿制品) of natural forests in the unpromising abandoned areas. Dr Miyawaki has organised the planting of more than 1, 500 of these miniature forests, first in Japan, then in other parts of the world. Others are following in his footsteps. India is particularly keen. In Mumbai, more than 200,000 trees are found in Miyawaki forests throughout the city. Hyderabad started growing the largest individual forest of the lot in 2020.The Miyawaki method will never work out on a large scale. Relying on nature and the passage of time is probably the best for replanting extensive areas of damaged woodlands.But if your goal is to better your immediate neighborhood, rather than to save the planet from global warming, then Dr. Miyawaki might well be your man.8．What do we know from Paragraph 1?A．Plants are replaced to cool things down.B．Urban areas are becoming pollution hotspots.C．Buildings and roads make residents comfortable.D．Concrete and tarmac reflect heat back into space.9．What does the research in 2019 imply?A．Plants provide shade for urban residents.B．Tree coverage needs to be furtherexpanded.C．The situation in urban areas gets steadily worse.D．Trees cut down chemical pollution from factories.10．What can we learn about the Miyawaki method?A．It originated from India.B．It takes effect as expected.C．It makes no difference to Mumbai.D．It is finding increasing favour. 11．What is the passage mainly about?A．A practical strategy to save our planet.B．A flexible schedule to settle a challenge.C．A partial solution to the lack of urban greening.D．An effective measure toprevent global warming.People’s first memories are all autobiograpbical (自传式的), or memories of significant experiences in their lives, and these events typically didn’t happen before the age of 2 or 3. In fact, most people can’t remember things from the first few years of their lives a phenomenon researchers have called infantile amnesia.However, research suggests that infants (婴儿) can form other kinds of memories. Within the first few days of life, infants can recall their own mother’s face and tell it from the face of a stranger. A few months later, infants can show that they remember lots of familiar faces by smiling most at the ones they see most often.But if so, why do people experience infantile amnesia? Though it still isn’t clear whether it’s because we can’t form autobiographical memories, or whether we inst have no way to retrieve (找回) them, scientists have a few guesses.One is that autobiographical memories require you to have some sense of self.Researchers have tested this ability using a mirror recognition task called the rouge test. It involves marking a baby’s nose with a spot of red lipstick.Researchers then place the infant in front of a mirror. Infants younger than 18 months just smile at the baby in the reflection, not showing any evidence of recognizing themselves or the red mark on their face. Between 18 and 24 months, infants touch their own nose, even looking embarrassed, suggesting that they connect the red dot in the mirror with their own face and start to form some sense of self.Another possible explanation is that because infants don’t have language until later in the second year of life, they can’t form descriptions about their own lives that they can later recall. Finally, the hippocampus, which is the region of the brain that’s largely responsible for memory, isn’t fully developed in the infancy period.Scientists will continue to investigate how these factors might contribute to infantile amnesia.12．What can infants do in their first few months?A．Recognize familiar faces.B．Remember a series of events.C．Identify their own reflections.D．Memorize their family members.13．What does the rouge test show about babies between 18 and 24 months?A．They like looking in the mirror.B．They ignore the marks on their faces.C．They see their reflections as themselves.D．They enjoy playing with their reflections.14．What could be a cause of infantile amnesia according to the text?A．Infants’ lack of social skills.B．Infants’ undeveloped hippocampus.C．Infants’ inability to recall memories.D．Infants’ unusual autobiographical memories,15．Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A．How do kids form their memories?B．When do babies start remembering?C．How can we retrieve lost memories?D．Why can’t we remember being a baby?二、七选五Every day, we face a series of opportunities to do the right thing. Sometimes we seize(抓the moral high ground?Jessie Sun interviewed 952 people about the motivations(动机) for moral behavior and the changes they wished to make in their lives in order to become more morally good.When we think about morals, we often think about making “personal sacrifices(牺牲)” for the greater good. In Sun’s study, she found that nearly half of the participants said they were most encouraged to become more moral for themselves. 17 And fewer participants said that they most wanted to benefit friends and people in general.Moreover, many people believe that acting more morally—for example, being more thoughtful, more open-minded—would increase their own well-being. The more they believed that their moral change would have positive results for themselves, the more they reported being encouraged to make that change. 18 That was the most surprising finding in the study.19 Interestingly, participants generally expected possible harms to themselves and others if they were honest. You can imagine that some people regularly tell white lies to save other people’s feelings, and they believe it would be hurtful if they were honest.Researchers also asked people about the things they’d like to improve about themselves. If they’re extremely shy, they usually want to become more comfortable in social situations. But if they aren’t especially honest or thoughtful, they usually won’t improve those aspects of their lives on purpose. 20A．How can we become more moral?B．So, why do we make these choices?C．Being moral just isn’t what most people consider first.D．Being moral means different things to different people.E．But people see some disadvantages of being moral, too.F．In short, many people want to become more moral for their own benefits.G．Sixteen percent said that they most wanted to become more moral for their family.三、完形填空I don’t usually keep houseplants. They get either overwatered or underwatered. But afterhaving something green around.My friend gave me a lucky bamboo plant, which I told my wife I wanted to 22 myself.Caring for the plant gave me a sense of 23 when I felt useless.

ACitizen science projects make it possible for you to collect real data that scientists can use in their research. Here are four examples of projects that you can take part in.FrogWatch USAFrogs play an important role in their ecosystems, being both predator and prey (捕食者和猎物). So, understanding their populations is one way scientists track wetland health. From February to August, citizens like you listen for the calls of specific species and record them in an online database. To make sure volunteers know what they are listening for, FrogWatch has a network of local chapter coordinators (协调者) who lead the training.Globe at NightYou wouldn't be the only one wondering about the light coming into your sky from nearby lamps andcities. Scientists have big questions about this too. Globe at Night is an international project that has had volunteers take more than 100,000 measurements in 115 countries. In the past they only enlisted (征募) citizen scientists in the winter and spring, but since 2017 they have set observation dates for the whole year. The project welcomes volunteers who want to help observe light pollution that could affect wildlife, health, and energy consumption.Did You Feel It?The “Did You Feel It？” program depends on feedback (反馈) from anyone who feels the shaking or sees any damage as the result of an earthquake. This data helps to produce a map that is available within minutes — and updated rapidly — documenting where shaking and damage are the most intense (强烈的)．GLOBE ObserverIf you would rather take your own photos than look through images from a telescope, consider downloading the GLOBE Observer app. This app allows citizen scientists to take photos of clouds for comparison with satellite images. Become an observer and become part of a major source of global human observation of clouds.21．Which project trains its volunteers?A．Globe at Night.B．Did You Feel It?C．FrogWatch USA. D．GLOBE Observer.22．Which of the following describes volunteers' work at Globe at Night?A．It's done in colder seasons.B．It's done in wild fields.C．It's timeconsuming.D．It's ecofriendly.23．What does a GLOBE Observer do?A．Take pictures of clouds.B．Improve satellite images.C．Observe the sky with a telescope.D．Upload cloud change data onto an app.BEinstein was not only the outstanding scientist of the 20th century, but alsoa gifted and enthusiastic musician. He once said that had henot been a scientist, he would have been a musician. “Life without playingmusic is unthinkable for me，” he said. “I live my daydreams in music. I getmost joy in life out of music.”Einstein’s mother, Pauline, was a talented pianist who brought music to life in the family home. Einstein began to learn the violin at the age of 6. However, he worked hard until discovering the joys of Mozart’s sonatas (奏鸣曲) at the age of 13. From that point on, although he had no further lessons, hisviolin remained his companion (伴侣)．When Einstein moved to Aarau in Switzerland in 1895 to complete his schooling, he seemed to have devoted a good deal of his time to music. Just before his 17th birthday Einstein played at a music examination in the school. The examiner reported that “a student called Einstein shone in a deeply felt performance of one of the Beethoven sonatas”. In addition to his great skill in playing the violin, he also played the piano and, in particular, loved to improvise (即兴创作)．In later life, Einstein’s reputation as a physicist often led to invitations to perform at benefit concerts, which he generally accepted happily. At one such event, a critic — not knowing Einstein’s real reputation as a physicist — wrote, “Einstein plays excellently. However, his worldwide reputation is undeserved. There are many violinists who are just as good.”Probably the summary of Einstein the violinist that comes nearest to the mark comes from his friend Janos Plesch, who wrote, “There are many musicians with much better skills, but none, I believe, who ever played with more sincerity or deeper feeling.”24．We learn from Paragraph 1 that Einstein ________.A．had a great love for musicB．enjoyed daydreaming in musicC．had stopped playing music for a whileD．preferred to be a musician rather than a scientist25．After discovering the joys of Mozart’s sonatas, Einstein ________.A．began to create his own musicB．spent a lot of time playing his violinC．started learning the piano by himselfD．moved to Switzerland to learn the violin26．What can we infer from Paragraph 3?A．Einstein did excellently in the examination.B．Einstein’s life in Aarau affected his musical taste.C．Einstein’s performance disappointed the examiner.D．Einstein practiced the Beethoven sonatas for his birthday.27．By mentioning the critic’s words, the author probably wants to show ________.A．Einstein didn’t live up to his reputationB．Einstein was also an outstanding violinistC．Einstein played better than professional violinistsD．Einstein wished there would be more benefit concertsCA family is nice to have. Some of us have lots of relatives. Others have just one or two. And some ofus live in adopted families. What about wild animals? Some are loners, but many species live permanently in families, just as we do.When I studied African wild dogs, I saw that each pack consists mainly of grown brothers and their father and uncles. Usually, one unrelated female lives with them. If a dog gets lost, it makes its special “hogcall”,and the others answer. Warthogs also live in families. A common group would be an old mother, her grown daughters, and these daughters' grown daughters with their babies. If these warthogs become separated, they look for one another.But some other plant eaters seem to have almost no family ties. For example, caribou live in huge herds of hundreds or even thousands of animals. Except for each mother and her baby, these animals do not appear to remember one another. If some of them get lost, the others do not seem to miss them.An animal can be in great danger if it has no family to help fight off predators (捕食性动物). I once saw a rooster try to defend his chicks from a snake. He was killed by the snake. The wildebeest, which lives in a herd, is on its own when predators strike. That is because a wildebeest herd, like a caribou herd, is just a crowd of unrelated animals that do not know or care about one another. Many times I saw wildebeest mothers standing alone, trying to protect their babies from wild dogs. But in the end, each mother had to flee for her own life.However, a big family is sometimes a nuisance (麻烦事). The little dikdik is a tiny antelope that lives in Africa. It has a diet of rare plants and is limited to a small home range. The dikdik would not find enough to eat if there were too many relatives around. The female leopard, too, lives alone all her life, except while she's raising cubs (幼崽). She usually hunts small animals, which are just big enough to feed her and her cubs, but nobody else.28．What would an African wild dog do if it couldn't find its way home?A．It would let out a special call.B．It would listen to the father's call.C．It would leave some marks on the ground.D．It would follow the family's unique smell.29. What's typical of a warthog group?A．Females form close circles.B．The oldest one is usually the leader.C．Young ones are independent of their parents.D．Family members fight off predators on their own.30．What usually happens during a mother wildebeest's baby protection fight?A．Her babies run away from her.B．Predators are scared away.C．She gets herself killed.D．Her efforts are in vain.31. Which of the following can describe dikdiks and female leopards?A.They are loners.B.They are big eaters.C.They are peacelovers.D.They do much for their cubs.DDo you have imagination? Do you like to solve problems? Can you? If so, you could be the next great inventor. “But I’m just a kid，”you might say! Don’t worry about a little thing like age. For example, one famous inventor — Benjamin Franklin — got his start when he was only 12. At that young age, he created paddles for his hands to help him swim faster. Finally his creation led to what we know is called flippers!So you don’t have to be an adult to be an inventor. One thing you do need,though, is something that kids have plenty of: curiosity and imagination. Kids areknown for looking at things in new and unique ways.So what should you do if you have what is a great idea for an invention? Talkto a friend or family member about it. Get input from others about your idea. Then ask them to help you create a working model — called a prototype (原型) — of your idea.Once you have a prototype, you can test it. Sometimes your idea turns out to be not as great as you thought. At other times, though, you realize it is a good idea and your prototype can help you figure out how to make it even better.If your idea is really a good one, an adult can help you contact companies that might be interested in it. You will also want an adult’s help to get a patent (专利权) for your idea, so that it is protected and can’t be stolen by someone else. If you need some inspiration, consider these kids and their inventions：Jeanie Low invented the Kiddie Stool when she was just 11. It’s a folding stool that fits under the kitchen sink. Kids can unfold it and use it to reach the sink all by themselves.At the age of 15, Louis Braille invented the system named after him that allows the blind to read.Chelsea Lanmon received a patent when she was just 8 for the “pocket diaper”， a new type of diaper that includes a pocket for holding baby wipes and powder.32．By saying “But I’m just a kid”， you probably mean you ________.A．are too young to achieve anythingB．can do anything though you are youngC．are old enough to become an inventorD．have to learn knowledge from other people33．Which of the following is the right order of an invention?A．a patent—a prototype—a good idea—an inventionB．an invention—a good idea—a patent—a prototypeC．a good idea—a prototype—an invention—a patentD．a prototype—a patent—a good idea—an invention34．Who invented something that helps the blind to read?A．Jeanie Low. B.Benjamin Franklin. C. Chelsea Lanmon. D.Louis Braille.35．Which of the following can be the best title for this passage?A．Kids have curiosity and imaginationB．There are some world famous inventorsC．Kids are exactly like adults in a wayD．It is possible for kids to be inventors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。
