Then she kept falling, and falling. When the lifelong Chicagoan finally touched the ground last Sunday, she landed in the history books and became the oldest person to ever sky-dive (跳伞).As Hoffner prepared to board, she pushed her red walker out and walked slowly to the plane, where two expert instructors helped her up the steps into the hold. “Let’s go!” she said, finally seated. The plane quickly rose, Hoffner looking calm and confident all the while.When the aft (机尾) door opened to show the crop fields far below, she and the instructor were ready to stand up. When Hoffner first sky-dived at 100 years old, she was pushed out, she said. This time, she wanted to lead the jump.Seven minutes after her jump, she moved slowly in the air for her historic landing. The wind pushed back her white hair. A look of excitement and wonder spread across her face. She picked up her legs as the ground approached. And finally, she managed to land on the ground.The crowd gathered along the landing area. Friends rushed to share the moment. Someone brought over Hoffner’s red walker. She rose fast, and a reporter asked how it felt to be back on the ground. “The whole thing was wonderful, and couldn’t have been better,” she said.The Guinness World Record for oldest skydiver was set in May 2022 by 103-year-oldLinnéa Ingegard Larsson from Sweden. When asked how it felt like to break the record, Hoffner replied quickly, “Like I’m old.” But the record didn’t seem to interest Hoffner before the jump. Instead, she focused on the peaceful falling through the sky.

After all, isn’t it the parents’ responsibility to manage the household? And don’t children need an opportunity to “just be children” for now because they have the rest of their lives to worry about chores?Most children have really busy schedules. They rush around from one activity to another with little time to clean the house. Despite those concerns, however, giving your children chores may be one of the most important things you’ll ever do.While giving your children chores can certainly take some of the stress off you, that’s not the only reason you should expect your children to do the chores. Studies show chores are good for children. Research from a well-known 75-year Harvard study shows that chores can shape children to be more likely to become happy, healthy and independent adults.Why are chores like sweeping the floor and clearing the table so important to children’s happiness in life? One reason is that children feel a sense of achievement when they do their chores. No matter whether they’re making their beds or they’re sweeping the floor, helping out around the house makes children feel capable. Doing chores also helps children feel like they’re part of the team and learn responsibility. Helping family members is good for them and it encourages them to be good adults.Children who do chores gain important life skills that will serve them well throughout their lives. Life skills such as meal preparation, mowing the lawn, or doing the laundry will be important after high school, which helps your children live independently.8.Why does the author raise questions in paragraph 1?A.To express doubts.B.To make a warning.C.To lead in the topic.D.To provide background information. 9.What helps children grow up healthily according to research from the Harvard study?A.Chores.B.Less homework.C.School activities.D.Learning schedules.10.What does the underlined word “capable” mean in paragraph 4?A.Tired.B.Nervous.C.Having no time.D.Having the ability.11.What does this text focus on?A.Skills to deal with chores.B.Advantages of doing chores.C.The importance of life skills.D.Ways to balance study and chores.Spending time outdoors has long been linked (联系) to better health. Gardening goes beyond just beautifying outdoor spaces—it can have a deep effect on our physical and mental (身心上的) health.Gardening involves physical activity that works all the main muscle (肌肉) groups, which is helpful for overall health. “Activities such as digging, planting, weeding and harvesting require movement and can help to improve strength,” said Clayton, CEO of an online lawn care company. “Performing these activities regularly can help burn calories, and keep a healthy weight.”Beyond burning calories and building muscle, lots of studies have shown that gardening can improve the immune system (免疫系统). The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that people get at least 150 minutes of exercise each week, and gardening is listed as a suitable activity. Doing garden work for that time each week can reduce the risk of obesity, high blood pressure and heart disease. Additionally, spending time outdoors makes us get close to natural sunlight, which is important for vitamin D synth.Gardening provides a chance for social connection, too. It can be a shared activity among family members, friends or neighbors, building relationships and a sense of belonging.Gardening also offers cognitive (认知的) benefits. It excites the senses, improves focus and encourages problem-solving and creativity. It provides a chance to learn about plants, ecosystems and the environment, developing a deeper understanding and appreciation for nature.12.What is Clayton’s attitude towards gardening?A.Supportive.B.Doubtful.C.Unclear D.Uncaring. 13.What does paragraph 3 mainly tell us about gardening?A.It improves focus.B.It is a waste of time.C.It can keep a body in shape.D.It helps to reduce the risk of diseases. 14.How does gardening affect social connection according to the text?A.It contributes to creativity.B.It encourages problem-solving.C.It builds relationships between people.D.It improves people’s awareness of safety.15.What is the best title for the text?A.How to Start a Garden B.Choose a Garden or NotC.What Plants Grow Best in a Garden D.Start Gardening and Get the HealthBenefitsForgiveness (宽恕) is often considered as an important decision to let go of feelings of anger towards someone who you believe has wronged you. However, while you may be quite generous in your ability to forgive others, you can be much harder on yourself. 16 .Accept the result of your actionsForgiving yourself is about more than just putting the past behind you and moving on.17 . Facing what you have done or what has happened is the first step towards self-forgiveness. It’s also the hardest step. If you have been making excuses in order to make them seem acceptable, it is time to accept what you have done.Treat yourself with kindness and compassion (同情)Forgiving yourself requires facing your actions, but it is important to reach this with self-compassion. 18 . Try to be compassionate instead of being self-critical (自我批评的).19Making a correction is an important part of forgiveness, even when the person you are forgiving is yourself. One way to move past your regret is to take action to correct your mistakes.Learn from the experienceForgiving yourself often requires finding a way to learn from the experience and make an active effort to do better in the future. To do this, you need to understand why you behave the way you did and why you feel sorry. What steps can you take to prevent the same behaviors again in the future? 20 , rather than feel sorry about those past mistakes.A.Make a correctionB.Be aware of others’ feelingsC.It is about accepting what has happenedD.The following steps may help you learn how to forgive yourselfE.You need to tell yourself that thoughts are not factsF.Remind yourself of what you learned to guide your actions going forwardG.The key is to treat yourself with the same kindness you show to another person二、完形填空her to keep her body balance when climbing over some rocks.When she reached a part of the beach entrance, she found there was a large step down.

AHere are four of the most charming villages in Europe,along with our top picks for places to stay in each.Eze in Cota D’Azur,FranceSet on a hilltop overlooking the Mediterranean Sea,the Provencal township of Eze is easily one of the most picturesque spots in the region.It is largely a tourist destination,and many of its buildings dates back to the Middle Age.In fact,Eze is particularly popular with couples seeking romantic solitude.Hotel pick:Chateau de la ChevreBaden-Baden in Wurttemberg,GermanyGermany’s best-known spa town,Baden-Baden,in the Black Forest of Baden-Wuttemberg,has been a popular spot for soaking in mineral-rich waters off and on since the Roman era.And while spa treatments and hot springs are still among the most popular draws for tourists,there are also plenty of museums,gardens,performing arts venues and charming old buildings and churches.Hotel pick:Hotel Belle EpoqueMontepulciano in Tuscany,ItalySpread over a hilltop nearly2,000metres above sea level,the Tuscan village of Montepulciano offers gorgeous Renaissance architecture as well as opportunities to visit wine companies.Surrounded by strong walls dating back to the14th century,the village features a handful of churches and public squares.Hotel pick:Etruria ResortOia in Santorini,Greecea ticket as early as possible.The locals are crazy soccer fans,and you’ll find it hard to get a ticket if you don’t wait in the queue early.As you can see,Newcastle is a fascinating city with so much to be offered and so many things to see.You’re sure to have a wonderful time here!8.Most visitors come to Newcastle in order to________.A.watch its soccer team playB.take the local tour busesC.visit the Hancock MuseumD.have a big meal in restaurants9.If you want to learn about the history and culture of Newcastle,you________.A.should go to the GateB.can go on a city tourC.must visit St.James ParkD.must drive your own car10.The underlined word“They”in Para.3refers to“________”.A.history lovers B.local peopleC.city tour buses D.local soccer teams 11.According to the passage,which one is NOT correct?A.The most popular place in Newcastle is the Gate.B.Millennium Bridge is attractive to culture and local history lovers.C.The mood of the locals can’t be influenced by the success or failure of the local team.D.You’d better book a ticket as early as possible if you want to watch the local team play soccer.D“I’m going to tell you a heartbreaking story.”I told my class of high school seniors.All eyes looked up.Nothing quiets a chatty group of teenagers faster than the promise of a story.“In sixth grade,”I began,“I fell in love.His name was David.”The girls were laughing.“So it was Valentine’s Day.I saw one enormous envelope on my desk.My mind raced:‘Who could it be from?’With trembling hands,I tore it open and there was a card.At the bottom I saw the signature and almost fainted:David.Then my eyes traveled up to the writing above his signature.It read,‘To the Ugliest Girl in Our Class’”.Mouths dropped open.Some looked down at their desks,seemingly embarrassed for me.“What did you do?”asked a brave soul.I said.“My eyes filled with tears.It ruined Valentine’s Day for me.It shook what little faith I had in myself for a long time after.But I survived,and it gave me the motivation to undo the cruelty of David.”I smiled.“And that’s why we’re going to have a card exchange.”Their eyes lighted up.“Write something positive and sincere to someone in the class.Even if it’s someone you barely know,there’s always something nice to say.Admire their fashion sense or their basketball skills.Tell them you appreciate their friendly smile.”Looking on as they composed each message was always a treat.But the real fun came when they read what people wrote to them.From then on,I made it a Valentine tradition.After20years of teaching,I harbor few hopes that students will remember all of the vocabulary.But if a student recalls of the lesson they received on Valentine’s Day,to me that makes it all worthwhile.12.What happened on the Valentine’s Day when the author was in sixth grade?A.She broke David’s heart.B.She was made fun of by David.C.She sent David a Valentine card.D.She took the wrong card by mistake. 13.Why did the class have a card exchange?A.To tell personal stories.B.To show fashion sense.C.To express appreciation.D.To share basketball skills. 14.How does the author feel about the outcome of her Valentine tradition?A.Unexpected.B.Valuable.C.Humorous.D.Discouraging. 15.Which is the best title for the text?A.An Exciting Job B.An Honest MistakeC.An Experienced Teacher D.A Valentine's Day Lesson第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)根据下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

浙江省湖州市长兴县太湖高级中学2023-2024学年高一上学期12月月考英语试题

浙江省湖州市长兴县太湖高级中学2023-2024学年高一上学期12月月考英语试题学校:___________姓名:___________班级:___________考号:___________一、阅读理解3 Most Walkable Cities in EuropeWalking on holiday is a great way to stay fit, but also to see the sights a city has to offer. Here are the three most walkable cities in Europe.Athens, GreeceAthens is one of the oldest cities in the world. The capital of Greece ranks fifth, with a slightly longer—but very worthwhile—route of 2.1 miles between its top-rated tourist attractions.Visitors to Athens can set off at the Acropolis, climbing to discover the ancient Parthenon that stands as a landmark to the city’s ancient legacy. Then it leads to the Acropolis Museum, with the neighbourhood of Plaka waiting to be explored in the shadow of the Acropolis. The National Archaeological Museum is also close-by.Seville, SpainSeville is home to some wonderful sights that are best seen when walking. Seville in Spain takes the top spot as Europe’s most walkable city, offering the shortest walking route between the top five tourist attractions.Visitors to this charming Spanish city can explore the impressive Plaza de Espana public square, before wandering over to the UNESCO-listed palace of Real Alcazar and Seville Cathedral. After that it’s only a short trip on foot to visit the beautiful Barrio Santa Cruz neighbourhood and admire the Torre Giralda bell tower hanging above. With just 20 minutes of walking between these attractions.Venice, ItalyVenice is famous for walkers, so it’s no surprise it ranks as the second best location for walkable city breaks. Walking is the best way to explore the bridges over the canals the city is famed for. There are endless charming alleyways to explore, as well as plenty of bridges over the canals that the city is famous for. Just under half an hour of walking here will take you on a tour of the impressive Grand Canal.1.What’s the recommended starting point of the city walk in Athens?A.Plaka.B.The Acropolis.C.The Acropolis Museum.D.The National Archaeological Museum .2.Why is Sevilla the top destination as a walkable city in Europe?A.It offers some wonderful sights.B.Visitors can explore five tourist attractions.C.It makes visitors enjoy their time to the full.D.Visitors can tour five tourist attractions in the shortest walking distance.3.Who is the text intended for?A.Those who are hiking during the vacation.B.Those who want to find suggestions on where to travel.C.Those who are looking for the best traveling destinations.D.Those who usually choose walkable cities for their vacation.Back in the day when I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do with my life, I was studying to become a firefighter. As a firefighter, you’re constantly thinking of other people and trying to help children. It’s the mindset, that is the most difficult part in this job!One night I was heading home and decided to stop off at a burrito (玉米饼) place. I was approached by a homeless man. He was very dirty and obviously hungry. He asked me for some change to buy a little food. As I was pulling some change out, I had an idea.I decided to see if he wanted to eat a real dinner, so I asked him to follow me back into the burrito joint to order. When he followed me in, the people behind the count er refused to let him in. After some arguing, so I had to encourage him to order whatever and however much he wanted. He ended up ordering enough to fill his stomach at least 3 times over!For someone who has been on the edges of society it seemed like he was very surprised at my kind behavior. But to me, it was what any “human being” should do or at least offer. I know we see these people every day asking for money but you had to be there to see the look in his face. To me it reminded me when I was young and my mom brought out a big birthday cake for me on my birthday, with all the candy, getting to experience a big meal. And I think he felt special, like he was getting attention. Again something that I could see he hadn’t experienced in a long time.I often think about this story, because to me it’s not just about helping someone out by feeding them, but giving him the respect of being a human being and allowing him to feel good about himself was very rewarding.4.What’s the hardest part of being a firefighter according to the author?A.Learning to be a good firefighter.B.Deciding what to do in the future.C.Dealing with the brother’s relationship.D.Developing the mindset of helping others.5.What do we know about the homeless man?A.He was grateful for the author’s kindness.B.He ordered whatever he wanted the moment he was in.C.He asked the author to buy a burrito to fill his stomach.D.He was not welcomed by those running the burrito joint at first.6.What is the author’s purpose in mentioning the birthday cake?A.To think back to his own birthday at a young age.B.To explain the reason for the values he holds onto.C.To show the similar experience of the homeless man.D.To tell the difference between him and the homeless man.7.Which of the following words can best describe the writer?A.Caring and humorous.B.Selfless and determined.C.Kind-hearted and thoughtful.D.Considerate and Hard-working.This summer, daytime temperatures topped 100 degrees for a full month in northwest China. Southern Europe experienced waves of 100-plus degree days. Heat waves show a serious reality: human-driven climate change is making extreme heat worse worldwide. But health-threatening heat isn’t the only result of record-breaking weather: air pollution happens when the temperatures rise according to a new report from the World Meteorological Organization.The new report, which focuses on 2022, shows the growing risk of air pollution connected to wildfires. Hotter temperatures increase the risk of large the risk of large,hot-burning fires, which can pump enormous plumes of smoke into the air. That smoke causes health problems near the fire but also for people thousands of miles downwind.Extreme heat, also drives up the likelihood of drought, which in turn makes big dust storms more likely. Great clouds of fine dust blew off major deserts last year, particularly affecting the Arabian Peninsula region. Southern Europe also got hit by a major dust storm after a heat wave baked the deserts of northern Africa in the summer.“That’s a very bad combination of conditions,” says Julie Nicely, an atmospheric chemist at the University of Maryland, who worked on the report. That mix is particularly dangerous for elderly people, or people with breathing sensitivities. “That is very bad for the lungs and the cardiovascular (心血管),” she says.Air pollution levels have dropped in the past few decades in response to environmental regulations like the Clean Air Act in the United States. Ozone pollution (臭氧污染), however, remains a problem. The report authors point out that the extra heat in the atmosphere driven by climate change overpowers even the gains made by strict environmental protections. The authors suggested focusing on the importance of slowing or changing human-caused climate change as quickly as possible.“Climate change and air quality cannot be treated separately. They go hand in hand and must be solved together to break this cycle,” WMO Secretary General Petteri Taalas said in a press release.8.Why is the extreme weather in northwest China and southern Europe mentioned in Para l?A.To introduce the topic.B.To show the serious situation.C.To warn people of the bad weather.D.To compare two countries’ weather.9.What can we learn from the last two paragraphs?A.Air pollution is likely to be solved in the future.B.Climate change and air quality are closely connected.C.It’s no use slowing or changing human-caused climate change.D.People’s efforts to protect the environment make no difference.10.What’s the result of environmental regulation like the Clean Air Act?A.It deals with the air pollution completely.B.It makes a big difference to the air problem.C.It has made the problem of air pollution worse.D.It is partly effective in dealing with air pollution.11.Where is the text most probably taken from?A.A science magazine.B.A travel brochure.C.A research paper.D.An encyclopedia.Artificial intelligence (AI) plays an important role in the Asian Games Hangzhou 2022 and Asian Para Games. AI usually refers to the advanced technologies, such as the naked﹣eye 3D, AR and so on. These terms might sound familiar, but how smart are they when applied to the 56 Asian Games venues (场地)?Their smartness can be found in running the venues with less human labor forces and with more connections between man and machines. At the Huanglong Sports Center, a system called Smart Stadium Brain is built. The Brain, a 25 square meter high definition screen in the venue’s information center, the lighting, the energy consumption guarantee a friendly environment for the athletes and audiences. For the benefit of audiences, a small screen on each seat is designed to be at the audience’s service. By finger touching, the audience can control it from three parts—angle, and size to watch and keep contact with the event. What’s more, supported by the 5 G technology.AI also means further protection on environment. At the Fuyang sports Center, although it has been raining for days, the roof of the venue still remains dry. And the secret lies in its attractive sky garden. The garden, is not only eye﹣catching but also useful. It allows the greening rate of the entire stadium to reach as high as 45%, being energy﹣saving. Under the cobblestones (鹅卵石) , a recovery system is filtering (过滤) and collecting rainwater for the venue’s water system, and irrigation water.Smart devices are employed both inside and outside the venues. For example, the Tonglu sports Center starts a WeChat mini﹣program for any follower to learn about the venue through VR games and videos before the Hangzhou Asian Games. During the Games, the program will allow the athletes and audiences to place orders online.12.Which of the following can replace the underlined word “guarantee” in Para2?A.Make sure of.B.Take advantage of.C.Get used to.D.Keep up with.13.What can we infer from Para2?A.The audience can’t see the whole venue on the large screen.B.The stadium is environmentally friendly and advanced but costly.C.The audience can control small screens on their seats as they wish.D.Small screens make the game watching enjoyable and convenient.14.How does the roof of the venue keep dry while it’s raining?A.By saving energy.B.By using the cobblestone of the sky garden.C.By recycling the rainwater.D.By improving the greening rate.15.What can be a suitable title for the text?A.Asian Games with Artificial Intelligence.B.A Sports Center with Smart Stadium Brain.C.More Connections with Smart Devices.D.Smart Asian Games with High﹣tech Venues.二、七选五Creative ways to change your workoutsMost people know working out is good for your health, both physical and mental.16 Sure, you may get excited about training for a 5 K or 10 K, but once the race is over, only to become tired of it after a few weeks.Create a word or image with your exercise routeRunners often map routes through city streets that create a word or image, then use a GPS device to “draw” it as they run. 17 Not sure what image or message to create? You can always follow artistic routes others have created and shared in the apps.Some are impressively complex and may take several excursions to complete.But that’s part of the fun.Join a free fitness groupExercising can be more fun with others, so look for group fitness opportunities. Manycommunities offer free exercise opportunities. Fitness in the Park is a summer-long activity that has been operating in New York state for a decade. Everyone is welcome to head to one of 18 different parks. 18 “The best part is grabbing a partner that you don’t know, or getting together with one that you do,” Frion said. “It’s always so much fun.”19Sure, you can run a 5 K. But why not try orienteering (定向越野赛)? This timed navigational sport requires you to use detailed maps to find orange-and-white flags that are hidden in parks or remote areas. Races involve difficult running routesDanceWhether you take a class or practice at home, dancing is a great way to get your body moving. Dancing doesn’t seem like exercise to a lot of people, which is why it’s always a popular choice. 20 “The workout allows for a creative aspect and meditation at the same time,” she said. “Many people come because it is an opportunity to try something different, as well as to dance in a nonjudgmental space.”A.Hit the road.B.Sign up for a new-to-you event.C.Participants have ranged in age from about 10 to over 70.D.But staying motivated — especially for the long term — can be a struggle.E.The event is timed, so people often jog or power walk from flag to flag.F.You can do the same, whether your favored exercise is running, walking or biking.G.It’s also something you can do anywhere, to any kind of music, salsa, hip-hop — it all works.三、完形填空Every family should have an emergency kit in their home. If there is an earthquake or aIt is 26 to keep non-perishable (不易腐坏的) food supplies. In other words, food that won't spoil (变质) out of the fridge, such as canned food.

When they were unable to free the car from the mud, they began to worry. The park’s waterways are usually full of crocodiles (鳄鱼), and the couple had already seen plenty of crocodile tracks running through the mud. Not only that, they had only brought a few bottles of water and little food for the trip.Nulgit and Johnson tried to fall asleep in their car—but as the sun set and the nearby water levels began to rise, they feared that the high water would bring the crocodiles closer to their car. The young couple then moved towards dry land and hoped for rescue. They even used a piece of wood to write the word “HELP” into the mud along with a line pointing towards their car.Thankfully, the couple had told Nulgit’s parents where they were going and when they expected to be home before they left. So when they failed to return the very same night, his worried mother called the police. Rescuers began searching the area by airplane the next morning. Upon hearing the sound of the plane, the couple started a fire so the rescuers would see the smoke. As the plane drew closer to the smoke, the rescuers successfully located the couple after they caught sight of the “HELP” sign pointing towards the car.Nulgit and Johnson were very thankful for the rescue. They now plan on putting together a set of emergency survival tools for the car.4.Why did the young couple move to dry land?A.Because their car became stuck in some mud.B.Because they wanted to fall asleep in their car that night.C.Because they were afraid the crocodiles would come to their car.D.Because they only brought a few bottles of water and little food.5.What did Nulgit and Johnson do to save themselves?A.They wrote a sign for help.B.They went fishing for food.C.They started a fire for warmth.D.They called their parents for help. 6.When did Nulgit’s mother call the police?A.The evening when they should have arrived home.B.The moment their car became stuck in some mud.C.The minute she received their call for help.D.Upon hearing the sound of the plane.7.Which of the following is true?A.At the sight of the rescuers, the couple brought into tears.B.The couple successfully caught the rescuers’ attention by smoke.C.The rescuers began searching the area the moment they received the call.D.After being rescued, the couple bought some survival tools for car at once.The Nobel economics prize was awarded on Monday to Harvard University professor Claudia Goldin for research that has advanced the understanding of the gender (性别) gap in the labor market.The announcement went a tiny step to closing the Nobel committee’s own gender gap: Goldin is just the third woman to win the prize out of 93 economics laureates (获奖者). She has studied 200 years of women’s participation in the workplace, showing that despite continued economic growth, women’s pay did not continuously catch up to men’s and a divide still exists despite women gaining higher levels of education than men. “I’ve always been an optimist. But when I looked at the numbers, I found in the 1990s, our labor force participation rate for women was the highest in the world, and now it isn’t the highest in the world,” Goldin told The Associated Press.“Although Goldin’s research does not offer solutions, it allows policymakers to deal with the problem,” said Randi Hjalmarsson, a member of the Nobel committee. “She explains the source of the gap, and how it’s changed over time and how it changes with the stage of development. By finally understanding the problem and calling it by the right name, we will find a solution.”Goldin, 77, told AP that what happens in people’s homes reflects what happens in the workplace. Women often have to take jobs that allow them to be on call at home—work that often pays less.“Goldin tried to fill in missing data for her research,” Hjalmarsson said. For parts of history, systematic labor market records did not exist, and, if they did, information about women was missing. “So Goldin had to be a detective to find novel data sources and creative ways to use them to measure these unknowns.”8.What can we infer from the second paragraph?A.Men gained higher levels of education than women.B.The women’s pay caught up to men’s 200 hundreds years ago.C.Many women scientists have won the Nobel economics prize these years.D.At the late 20th century, American women labor force participation rate was the top. 9.Which of the following is right?A.Randi Hjalmarsson didn’t agree with Goldin.B.Most of the women usually prefer to be housewives.C.What happens in family life often mirrors that in the workplace.D.Goldin’s research offered the policymakers solutions to the problem.10.Which is a challenge that Claudia Goldin faced in her research?A.Lack of experience.B.Lack of support.C.Lack of money.D.Lack of data.11.What’s the best title of the passage?A.A Solution to the Gender Gap in the Labor MarketB.Claudia Goldin—a Great Economics Data DetectiveC.The Third Woman Who Wins the Nobel Prize in the WorldD.Nobel Economics Prize Goes to Harvard University Woman ProfessorPlaying tennis might add years to your life, according to a new study of Danish men and women. The study found that adults who frequently participate in tennis or other racket (球拍) and team sports lived longer than people who were spending a lot of time sitting down. They also lived longer than people who took part in activities such as jogging, swimming and cycling. The results raise interesting questions about the role that social interactions might play in enlarging the benefits of exercise.No one doubts that being physically active improves our health and can extend our longevity (寿命). But whether some activities might be better than others remains in argument. One widely publicized 2017 study of more than 80,000 British men and womenfound that those who played racket sports like tennis tended to outlive those who jogged.The researchers widened their inquiry and looked at a variety of sports and their associations with life. To start, they turned to the same data resource they had used for the jogging study, the Copenhagen City Heart Study. The study’s participants had all completed health exams and lengthy questionnaires about their lifestyles and whether and how often they took part in some sports common in Denmark, including cycling, swimming, running, tennis, soccer and, perhaps unexpectedly, badminton.According to the data, cycling added an average of 3.7 years to riders’ lives, compared to sedentary Danes. Running added 3.2 years while tennis 9.7 years. These associations remained unchanged even when the researchers controlled for people’s education, socioeconomic status and age.“Why and how some sports might add more years to people’s lives than others is impossible to know from this kind of observational study,” says Dr. James O’Keefe, a study co-author. “But we know that social support probably has unique effects on helping people get more benefits from the exercise.”For now, people who run or ride alone might consider finding a group or partner to work out together. “Raising your heart rate is important for health,” he says. “But it looks like connecting with other people is, too.”12.According to the passage, which activity may help people live longer?A.Cycling.B.Running marathon.C.Swimming.D.Playing badminton.13.What does the underlined word “sedentary” in the fourth paragraph mean?A.Inactive.B.Outgoing.C.Depressed.D.Easygoing. 14.Which may Dr. James O’Keefe recommend according to the last paragraph?A.Exercising alone.B.Working out together.C.Working out regularly.D.Raising one’s heart rate.15.It is suggested in the passage that ________.A.women who prefer team sports live longer than menB.people’s education and socioeconomic status affect their longevityC.the reason why some sports might add more years to people’s lives is still unknown D.80,000 Danish men and women participated in the survey二、七选五The act of spending time in the forest is called shinrin-yoku, meaning bathing in the forest atmosphere. It is not exercise or hiking or jogging. It is being in nature and connectingand help with depression. Follow the tips below to experience forest bathing.Find a place where you’re surrounded by trees.The ideal place to have a forest bath is in the forest. But if you live far away from one or don’t have the means to get there, any place that has a lot of trees and quiet spaces will do. You can even get beneficial effects from a city park. 17Set aside a large amount of time.To get the final rewards of shinrin-yoku, plan to spend two to six hours in the woods.18 If you can’t set aside a good part of your day to wander through the forest, you can also do shorter walks. Anyway, the longer the time in the forest, the better.19The difference between normal activities and forest bathing is that we’re going to move very slowly. Forest bathing is about calming down your nervous system and reducing your heart rate and blood pressure. If you work too hard physically, your tiredness will reduce the effect of forest bathing.Quite often, when we are bathed in the forest, it sends something back to help us make sense of what’s going on in our life. 20 You may be surprised by what you discover.A.Aim to reduce heart rate.B.Enjoy sweating in forest bathing.C.Forest bathing for about that amount of time helps improve immunity.D.But the health benefits will not be great if you don’t stay there longer.E.Now, find a spot in the forest or the park and breathe in the smell of nature.F.Not only is forest bathing a way to explore nature, it’s also good for your health.G.However, the health benefits won’t be as obvious as walking in the deep woods.三、完形填空After Mia, Colin and Laurent were diagnosed (诊断) with RP, a genetic disease thatwould gradually rob them of their 21 , an idea of a year-long trip was born.For the children’s parents, Edith and Sebastien, the diagnoses came as a 22 . “So far, there is no cure,” said the doctor. “Everything has to change,” Edith said 23 .

The car, called Stella Terra, is the first solar-powered car that can travel for a long journey without needing a charging station (充电站).Students at Eindhoven University of Technology in the Netherlands have been working on solar-powered cars for years. In order to create a car that the team was planning for, the students had to design the car from top to bottom.On top, of course, are the solar panels (太阳能板). Most solar panels are only about 20% efficient (效率高的). That means they waste about 80% of the sunlight they get. But the Stella Terra’s solar panels are 26% efficient. They waste far less sunlight than even the best solar panels you can buy. Thanks to its powerful solar panels, when it’s sunny, the car can run for 710 kilometers a day. Stella Terra can carry two people, and has a top speed of 145 kph. The car weighs just 1,200 kilograms. That’s about two-thirds the weight of a typical car.The team recently took the car on its biggest test — a challenging 1,000-kilometer test drive across Morocco. The car had to travel through forests as well as dry riverbeds. It had to driveacross burning desert sands and climb up mountain roads. The car succeeded in doing all of this — and all without ever stopping at a charging station.The team is very proud of their car, but they won’t be worried if car companies start to copy their idea. In fact, they will share the idea before car companies are able to build a similar car. 4.What can we learn about the car?A.It can travel more freely.B.It’s terribly expensive.C.It has been out of style.D.It has come on the market.5.What is paragraph 3 mainly about?A.The appearance of Stella Terra.B.The hardship the team suffered.C.The members of the design team.D.The basic information on the car.6.Why did the team drive the car across Morocco?A.To find more buyers.B.To test out its performances.C.To improve their driving skills.D.To enjoy the amazing sight.7.What does the team want to do concerning the idea?A.Keep it top secret.B.Put it into production.C.Share it with car producers.D.Sell it to other students.A three-year drought has left millions of people in Syria, Iraq and Iran with little water. A new study says it would not have happened without human-caused climate (气候) change.The team looked at temperature and rainfall levels. And they compared what happened in the last three years to many different computer models of the conditions in a world without human-caused climate change. They concluded that without the world warming 1.2℃ since themid-19th century, there would not be such a serious drought at all.“Human-caused climate change is already making life extremely hard for tens of millions of people in West Asia,” said study co-writer Mohammed Rahimi. “With every degree of warming, Syria, Iraq and Iran will become even harder places to live.Computer models did not find any considerable signs of climate change in the low rainfall, Otto said. But evaporation (蒸发) of water in lakes, rivers, and wetlands was much higher than it would have been without climate change-increased temperatures. The study writers found that the drought conditions in Syria and Iraq are 25 times more likely because of climate change, and in Iran, 16 times more likely.“Drought is not unusual to the Middle East area. But fights make the area even more likely to have a drought because they have weakened water systems,” said study co-writer Rana El Hajj. “This is already touching the limits of what some people are able to stand. As long as we keep burning fuels that affect climate change and continue to explore new oil and gas fields, these kinds of events will only get worse,” she added. “This will continue to destroy lives and keep food prices high.”8.What caused the drought according to the study?A.Rising temperatures.B.Cold weather.C.Loss of wetlands.D.Forest damage.9.How does climate change affect the people in West Asia?A.They become wise.B.They explore more oil.C.They are ready to help.D.They lead a hard life.10.What is Rana’s attitude to the situation in the area?A.Doubtful.B.Uncaring.C.Worried.D.Positive.11.In which part of a newspaper may this text appear?A.Education.B.Technology.C.Health.D.Environment.Your ears are already dark, wet and full of oils and dead skin—a delicious meal for many bacteria (细菌). It seems that wearing headphones could only make that environment more inviting to these bacteria.Actually, a 2008 study at Manipal University in India found that frequent (频繁的) use ofheadphones did increase the population of bacteria in the ear—mostly the staphylococcus, a common skin bacterium. And in 1992, a study at the Navy Medical Research Institute in Bethesda, Maryland in the US, found that the kind of over-the-ear headphones used by airlines had 11 times more bacteria after having been worn for just one hour.As unpleasant as this sounds, there is no need to worry about it. The headphones in the second study were clean before use, so began with a very low bacterial population and that increase resulted in a fairly low number in absolute terms.Also, this increase was not fast enough to increase the reproduction of bacteria. The study’s authors said that most of the bacteria must already have been present in the deeper skins. The dark warm conditions while wearing headphones just encouraged some of them to come out and play. Furthermore, there are no signs that these bacteria can cause any harm. A 2002 study of call centre workers in Malaysia found no connections between headphone use and the illness in the ear.The bacteria that increase in your ear while you listen to music are the ones that live there normally, and your ear is able to deal with them. However, several studies have suggested that repeatedly putting on and taking off headphones may increase the risk of skin abrasions (擦伤) that allow harmful bacteria to get in and cause illnesses.12.What does the underlined word “inviting” in the first paragraph mean?A.Equal.B.Attractive.C.Deadly.D.Confusing. 13.Why does the author mention the 2002 study?A.To support a view.B.To show a lifestyle.C.To raise a question.D.To present a product.14.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A.Researchers haven’t finished the studies.B.Listening to music makes us less focused.C.We can kill harmful bacteria completely.D.Improper use of headphones harms health.15.Which can be a suitable title for the text?A.Proper Ways to Get Free from BacteriaB.Doctors Can Treat an Illness in the EarC.Concerns about Bacteria on HeadphonesD.Causes of the Rising Number of BacteriaThe Feynman Technique(费曼学习法)is a powerful method that you can use to learn anything faster because it forces you to actively think about the problem instead of passively reading or listening to someone else talk about it. You can take the following five simple steps to study better.·Find out the topic you want to learn. 16 Otherwise, you'll end up jumping between topics without developing a deeper understanding of any of them.·Explain the topic as if teaching a sixth-grader. This step is the heart of the FeynmanTechnique— 17 .This requires you to meet the child at their level of understanding by using the simplest way..Identify areas of improvement in your explanation. You’ll need to critically(批判性地)review the explanation you cane up with in Step Two 18 . Try to find any knowledge gaps, together with any areas where you felt that you couldn't explain the topic simply.·Improve and optimiez(优化) your explanation. Think about all the knowledge gaps and other areas of improvement you found before. 19· Repeat the steps until you’ve achieved mastery of the topic. Keep going through each step you're fully satisfied with your explanation. 20 , and that is why going through all the prior steps just once is usually not enough to achieve topic mastery.A.Use those to improve your explanationB.To do so, take a critical look at your explanationC.Make sure that your explanation is interest-basedD.Your explanations need to be short and to the pointE.The Feynman Technique works best with a repeatF.It’s important that you clearly know the topics you’re trying to learnG.Explaining the topic simply enough to be understood by a sixth-grade student二、完形填空In August 2022, I had my very first travel experience in the heart of nature.

Some educators are warning that such Al systems will change the world of learning, teaching, and research, for better or worse.Ethan Mollick, a professor at the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School of Business, sees its benefits as a learning partner. He has used it as his own teacher’s assistant, for help with preparing a lecture and grading instructions for MBA students. “You can ask it to find a mistake in your writing and correct it and tell you why you got it wrong,” he said. “It’s really amazing.”But the superhuman assistant has its limitations (局限). ChatGPT was created by humans, after all. OpenAI has trained the tool using a large dataset of real human conversations. It sometimes lies to you, with confidence. There have been situations in which ChatGPT won’t tell you when it doesn’t have the answer.That’s what Teresa Kubacka, a data scientist based in Zurich, Switzerland, found when she experimented with the language model. “I asked it about something that I thought that I knowdoesn’t exist (存在) so that I can judge whether it actually also has the idea of what exists and what doesn’t exist.” she said. ChatGPT produced an answer so specific sounding, backed with citations (引文), that Kubacka had to find out whether the made-up thing was actually real. “This is where it becomes kind of dangerous,” she said.ChatGPT doesn’t produce good science, says Oren Etzioni, the founding CEO of the Allen Institute for AI. But he sees ChatGPT’s appearance as a good thing. He sees this as a moment for review. “ChatGPT is just a few days old, I like to say,” said Etzioni. “It’s giving us a chance to understand what he can and cannot do and to begin the conversation of ‘What are we going to do about it?’”8. How did Ethan Mollick feel about ChatGPT?A.It could be used in many different fields.B.It was popular with university students.C.It would replace teachers’ assistants.D.It was advantageous to him.9. What did Teresa Kubacka’s experiment with ChatGPT find?A.The Al tool is not dependable sometimes.B.The Al tool always gives wrong answers.C.The Al tool does not always answer questions.D.The Al tool gives dangerous guidance sometimes.10. What does Oren Etzioni mean by saying those words in the last paragraph?A.It is too early to discuss ChatGPT’s limitations.B.ChatGPT is open for review and suggestions.C.ChatGPT is worth praising for its superhuman abilities.D.It takes time to see whether ChatGPT works well or not.11. Which of the following shows the organization of the text?A.B.C.D.D(21-22高一下·江西萍乡·期中)I was born in a poor community on the north side of Boston, US, raised by a single mother who didn’t finish 3rd grade, lived each day on food stamps and attended what the media called “the most dysfunctional (功能失常的) public school district”. Not many people expected much of me, so I had to expect something of myself.On my 13th birthday, I bought a poster of Harvard to hang in my room. Being at Harvard became what dreamt about. Even when my electricity was cut off and I woke up at 5:30 am to pitch blackness, I knew that my poster of Harvard was still hanging only two feet away from me.Reminding myself of my goal each day made it easy to say no to the same choices I saw my peers making, because those paths wouldn’t have gotten me closer to my goal. Even poverty (贫穷) could not take away my power to decide what I choose to do with my day. The poster gave me the courage to cold email about 50 Harvard students so I could ask for feedback on my application essays; it gave me the energy to study just one more hour on my SATs when my friends were asleep; and it gave me the determination to submit just one more scholarship application when 180 others had already turned me down.Every day I could feel myself getting closer and closer to my goal as my writing got better, my SAT score increased, and my scholarship checks started coming in. Finally, an email arrived from Harvard. The first word was “Congratulations!”. A month later, Harvard flew me up to visit the campus where for the first time I stepped onto my dreaming land.Who you are today is the result of the decisions you made yesterday, and who you will be tomorrow will be the result of the choices you make today. Who do you want to be tomorrow?12. What can we learn about the author from the first paragraph?A.He experienced disability.B.He had high expectation of himself.C.He accepted special education.D.He grew up in a happy family.13. What efforts did the author make to achieve his goal?A.He learnt from his peers from time to time.B.He often wrote feedbacks on others’ essays.C.He spent more time preparing for the exams.D.He consulted his teacher when having problems.14. Which can best describe the author’s character?A.Determined and hardworking.B.Generous and selfless. C.Intelligent and humorous.D.Courageous and friendly.15. Which of the following can be the main idea of the text?A.Failure is the mother of success.B.Perseverance can make your dream come true.C.The longest journey begins with the first step.D.Your success in life lies in your hardship in the past.第2节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)Easy Solutions to Stress(22-23高一下·浙江湖州·期末)第3部分语言运用(共两节,满分30分)第1节(共15小题,每小题1分,满分15分)阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的A,B,C,D四个选项中选出最佳选项。

The young girl carefully released the Butterfly. Instead of flying away, the little butterfly changed into a beautiful fairy. The young girl rubbed her eyes in disbelief.“For your wonderful kindness,” the good fairy said to the girl, “I will give you any wish you would like.”The little girl thought for a moment and then replied, “I want to be happy.”The fairy leaned toward her and whispered in her ear. Then the fairy disappeared.As the little girl grew up, there was no one in the land as happy as she. Everyone asked her secret of happiness. She would only smile and answer, “The secret of my happiness is that I listened to a good fairy when I was a little girl.”When she was very old and on her deathbed, the neighbors all gathered around her, that her unbelievable secret of happiness would die with her. “Tell us, please, ”they begged, “Tell us what the good fairy said.” The lovely old woman simply smiled and said, “She told me that everyone, no matter how secure they seemed, no matter how old or young, how rich or poor, had need of me.”4. ______ the girl felt sad and lonely.A.

He was from the USA. He was born in 1835. He was also a famous speaker. He was famous for his sense of humor. Many people liked to listen to him talk because he liked to tell some interesting stories to make people laugh all the time.One day Mark Twain was going to a small town because of his writing. Before he was going to leave, one of his friends said to him that there were always a lot of mosquitoes in the town and told him that he'd better not go there. Mark Twain waved(摇动) his hand and said, "It doesn't matter. The mosquitoes are no relatives of mine. I don't think they will come to visit me."After he arrived at the town, Mark Twain stayed in a small hotel near the station. He went into his room, but when he was just about to have a rest, quite a few mosquitoes flew about him. The waiters felt very sorry about that. "I'm very sorry, Mr Mark Twain. There are too many mosquitoes in our town." One of them said to him.Mark Twain, however, made a joke, saying to the waiter, "The mosquitoes are very clever. They know my room number. They didn't come into the wrong room." What he said made all the people present laugh heartily.But that night Mark Twain slept well. Do you know why?That was because all the waiters in the hotel were driving the mosquitoes away for him during the whole night.8. That day Mark Twain went to the town .A. to see one of his friendsB. because he was told there were a lot of mosquitoes thereC. because he wanted to do something there for his writingD. to see one of his relatives9.

About 1. 67 million pieces are housed in more than 200 museums in 47 countries, which accounts for 10 percent of all lost Chinese cultural relics, and the rest are in the hands of private collectors.Most of these treasures are owned by museums or private collectors in the United States, Europe, Japan and Southeast Asian countries. There are more than 23,000 pieces in the British Museum, most of which were stolen or bought for pennies more than 100 years ago.The major method to recover these national treasures was to buy them back. In some cases, private collectors donated the relics to the government. Also the government can turn to official channels(渠道) to demand the return of relics.In 2003, a priceless bronze pig's head dating from the Qing Dynasty was returned to its home in Beijing after it was removed by the Anglo­French Allied Army over 140 years ago. Macao entrepreneur(企业家) Stanley Ho donated 6 million yuan to buy it back from a US art collector and then donated it to the Poly Art Museum in Beijing.Although buying­back is the most feasible way to recover the lost treasures, limited funding is always a big headache.In recent years, the Chinese government has improved efforts to recover the precious cultural relics lost overseas. It has started a national project on the recovery of the treasures and has set up a database(数据库) collecting relevant information. It has signed several international agreements with many countries on this matter, and is also looking for international cooperation to recover the relics by working closely with several international organizations.12. What is the passage mainly about?A. How to recover cultural relics.B. The efforts to recover Chinese cultural relics.C. Stanley Ho donated a bronze pig's head to Beijing.D. Chinese cultural relics were stolen by the Anglo­French Allied Army.13.

It was donated by the French government to China.D. It was removed by the Anglo­French Allied Army over 140 years ago.15. The underlined word "feasible" in Paragraph 5 can be replaced by "".A. possibleB. difficultC. popularD. careful第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
