It’s not the house that is special, but rather the person who lives inside.I met Jenny about 45 years ago when she was my sister’s kindergarten teacher. I remember looking into her classroom wishing I was her student. Jenny created a safe place where we could be whatever we wanted to be in that moment. My parents told me I could start school when I was 4. Though, when I turned 4 in the spring, I couldn’t understand why I had to wait until September.For as long as I can remember, I’ve wanted to be a teacher. When I graduated, I couldn’t wait to invite Jenny to my classroom. She arrived one day, and I saw joy on my students’ faces singing the same songs I sang with her as a child. As a new teacher, I marveled at how she connected with children. For years, Jenny volunteered in my classroom.Over the years we have shared in each other’s ups and downs. Sh e asks me for updates about my family and friends, and she tells me about hers.I am here for her now as the time to sell her house is near. I bring up boxes from her basement. We go through every painting a student has given her, every thank-you note a parent has written and her teaching aids.I find papers featuring the letters of the alphabet. I find my own name printed in green marker. Suddenly, my mind goes back to Room 3.More than 40 years ago, Jenny sat on the carpet at her feet. We learned about the letters and their sounds. Now, Jenny sits on her rocking chair, and I find myself sitting at her feet. Over tea, we talk for hours. I listen intently because I know I still have more to learn from her.Our friendship is one that neither one of us expected. Educators know teaching is a profession devoted to the development of young individuals. The lucky ones get to see what their students have done with their lives. The exceptional ones never leave their students’hearts.41.What is the best title of the passage?A. A small brick house.B. Unexpected friendship.C. A kindergarten teacher.D.

The Swedish furniture company’s “future-living” research lab in Copenhagen is conducting a survey to understand what people want when it comes to smart furniture.AI is now walking into more aspect s of people’s daily lives. Self-driving cars are just around the corner, and AI robots can play and beat the best players of strategy games. As smart home technologies have become more ubiquitous, products ranging from smart electrical outlets (插座) to smar t smoke alarms are flooding the market. Therefore, it’s not surprising that Ikea would be moving in the same direction.Exactly why people would want their sofa or bed frame to speak to then, track their daily movements or offer help is not yet clear. Thou gh Ikea’s the new survey doesn’t directly answer that question, it does provide a hint of what people would feel comfortable with. Most participants wanted a more human-like form of virtual (虚拟的) assistants, as opposed to one that is more robotic. In terms of the ideal gender (性别) of the assistants, the most popularchoice was neither male nor female. Few wanted a religious form of AI.Just as with human friends, most wanted AI friends that were like them, affirming their own worldview. They wanted an AI assistant that was reasonably intelligent-that could collect data to predict what a person wanted before he or she asked, and that could prevent someone from making mistakes.This is not the first time that Ikea has set foot in the field or futuristic technologies. In addition to wireless charging tables and chainless bikes that never rust, the furniture giant has also pictured smart kitchens that can cook the best meal. To decide on how intelligent you want your next sofa or bookshelf to be, you can take Ike a’s survey online.46.The survey carried out by Ikea aims to ________.A. know peoples need for smart furnitureB. understand future lifestyleC. promote the company’s smart furnitureD. answer people’s questions47.What does the underlined word “ubiquitous” in Paragraph 2 mean?A. Beautiful.B. Common.C. Normal.D. Environmental.48.What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about?A. The differences between robot-like and human-like assistants.B. What form of AI assistants people want.C. What kind of friends people want.D. The popular robots on the market.49.Most participants in the survey wanted an AI assistant that could ________.A. help them become smarterB. communicate with them without troublesC. have its own worldviewD. deal with their problems in advance50.Which of the following products are from Ikea?A. Smart sofas that can speak to you.B. Smart beds that can track your daily movements.C. Wireless charging car.D. Rustless bikes without chains.For generations, we’ve spent the first third of o ur lives acquiring the college degrees weneed to find jobs. These degrees are the stamps on our professional passports that pave the way for the remaining two-thirds of our journey. However, the future of work won’t be about college degrees, it’ll be abou t job skills.According to the World Economic Forum, over one billion jobs, almost one-third of all jobs worldwide, are likely to be transformed by technology in the next decade. We’ve already seen this happen. Think of the apps you use to shop, track orders and simply stay informed. The stores need to keep them up and running at all hours, day after day, all year round, meaning they need those who can analyze and secure customer data.In these and other similar situations, people are the organizing force making sure technology works the way we want it to. This means a quick rise in new kinds of digital jobs. According to the Forum’s Jobs of Tomorrow report, there’ll be a rapid influx of roles at the forefront of the data and AI economy, as well as new roles in engineering, cloud computing and product development. These jobs need talent with relevant skills, and importantly these skills can be learnt even by those without college degrees.Shifting our focus from degrees to skills will mean transitioning (过渡) to always-on skills-based education and employment organizations that acknowledge not just certification but fitness-for-job and employment as outcomes. In recent years, several companies have focused on continuous learning for the workforce — the trend will become stronger.When it comes to skills, employers look for more than just technical skills. Companies want people with an eye for detail, creative problem-solving skills, a collaborative mindset and an ability to handle complex issues. These also are skills that can be learnt. Anyhow, lifelong learners with ever relevant skills will be in greater demand in the workplace. 51.What is the function of Paragraph 1?A. To propose a definition.B. To present an argument.C. To give an example.D. To make a comparison.52.How does technology influence the jobs?A. It calls for higher demands for degrees.B. It makes many jobs less challenging.C. It reduces their dependence on degrees.D. It connects them with degrees closely.53.What does the underlined word “influx” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A. Increase.B. Recovery.C. Decline.D. Change.54.What will future employers value most concerning their staff?A. Their traditional technical skills.B. Their continuous learning abilities.C. Their certification-based education.D. Their desire to start their own business.55.What might be the best title for the text?A. Skills Are Different From DegreesB. Degrees Will Be More CompetitiveC. Degrees Will Shape the Future of WorkD. Skills Are More Vital for Future WorkAesha Ash spent most of her life ballet dancing and even turned it into a career as a member of the New York City Ballet. As much as she loved to dance, she found the weight of her obligation heavy because she was often the only African American ballerina (芭蕾舞女演员) in her classes and company.After retiring from ballet in 2007. Aesha enjoyed the quiet life for about ten years before she decided to come back to ballet, but in a completely new way. She started The Swan Dreams Project that helps kids in poor areas get into the world of ballet. Aesha set up a one-week camp that invited kids to not only learn the basics of ballet, but also get an introduction to French (since she says it is “the language of ballet”).Her first camp was in 2018 in a poor neighborhood in New York. When she arrived, she was greeted by dozens of students, most of whom were African Americans. She wanted to help kids who otherwise might not have ever had the chance to live in the world of ballet.On the final day of camp, after a week of learning, the students put on a final performance for their family and friends. Before the performance, Aesha said she was nervous that it would be less of a performance and more of a mess, since the campers were all between 8 and 11 years old. Muc h to her surprise, it turned out to be perfect. She said. “When we went out to our first circle and the kids began counting in French and performing the steps they had just learned, my heart melted.”Aesha continues to do whatever she can to help kids learn ballet. She found a way to turn that seemingly unbearable weight she once carried around into something good for kids, as well as for the world of ballet.56.What does the underlined word in Paragraph 1 probably mean?

do?municate more with him.B.Explore the unknown bravely.C.Study the information of the project.D.Meet at the conference in Scotland.CEach year,more than27million.U.S.and Canadian kids get to school by bus.Most of those buses run on diesel(柴油)fuel,which give out pollution that riders can take in.Pollution levelscan be several times higher inside a diesel school bus than outside it.Why?Pollution can leak in from the floor or blow in through windows.A ernment program started in2012offered schools'money spent on cleaner school buses but not all schools could get it.Five years later,emissions from buses in the winning districts fell.And a year after getting new buses,student attendance had improved in those districts.For an average district of10,000students,about six more students attended'school each day'in the winning districts,compared to the losing districts.Winning schools with higher rates of bus-riding kids had an average of14more students in class each day.And winning districts that replaced the oldest school buses?They had an average of45more students in school each day.Those numbers may sound small,but'they add up.And school attendance matters for student achievement.Almost3million U.S.kids ride school buses more than20years old.If U.S.school districts had replaced all of those older buses,there would have been1.3million fewer student absences each year.There might be other reasons for better attendance.For example,maybe kids preferred new buses.However,the most-likely reason for fewer student absences was better health.A study done on adults showed that a brief exposure to diesel emissions reduced"network connectivity"in the brain.In other studies,such network-connectivity changes have been linked to worsened memory and mental tasks.A Washington State program upgraded pollution controls in old diesel buses. Afterward,fewer kids were hospitalized in those districts than in schools without bus upgrades.Almost all U.S.school districts can apply for the program.But schools in low-income areas, in tribal areas and,in rural areas will get priority.Kids in these areas tend to face.the most health risks from older buses.28.What can we infer about diesel school buses from the first paragraph?A.They have a short service life.B.They operate cost-effectively.C.They accommodate few passengers.D.They do much harm to school children.29.Why is the increase in school attendance small but important?A.It is a long accumulation.B.It is a winning condition.C.It is a measuring standard.D.It is a student achievement.30.How does the bus replacement bring better student attendance?A.By reducing the network connectivity.B.By bettering the health state of students.C.By improving student satisfaction with schools.D.By meeting students'demand for school bus drivers.31.What does the text mainly talk about?A.The"network connectivity"in the brain.B.The great work on cleaner school buses.C.A ernment program for education.D:Better attendance due to new school buses.DFirst-year college students often are expected or required to live in dormitories.In the rest years,it's usually up to those students to decide whether to live on or off campus.But some schools don't provide an option and require four years of on-campus living for full-time students.Living on campus has been shown to increase retention(保留)and attendance rates among freshman and second-year students,according to a2021report.There are exceptions, however.At some colleges,students may be freed from the requirement if they are,for instance, commuters(通勤生),fifth-year seniors,at least23years of age or legally married.Residential housing at colleges is not limited to shared rooms and bathrooms.Alternatives include flats,apartments,Greek houses or living-learning communities for students with shared interests.On-campus students also have access to services and resources such as residence life staff who can help if a housing issue arises.When students live in a community,they are forced to live with different people,learn more about themselves and about the others,and tell each other their stories.On the other hand,off-campus living provides students with more independence,as they are not constrained by school housing policies.Off-campus students gain more real-world experience in areas like paying their own bills,finding renter's insurance,cooking their own meals and negotiating or reviewing contracts.If students are choosing to live off campus,they should reallythink it through and talk to someone that lived.off campus.Do their homework and look at all the costs before they make that decision.Make sure,too,that they are choosing people that they can live with.At first glance,off-campus housing can appear less expensive.But the additional expenses outside of rent---like utilities,groceries,Internet access,cable and furniture---are often overlooked. To reduce off-campus costs,some students choose to overpack houses or apartments,sometimes with four or five people in a two-bedroom house.Unlike off-campus housing,the total cost of living on campus is typically all-inclusive,coveting rent,utilities,furniture,Wi-Fi and a meal plan.32.Why do some colleges require all the students to live on campus?A.To keep them stay longer on campus for classes.B.To make sure all students can live in shared rooms.C.To make as much profit as possible for the colleges.D.To monitor all of their students as easily as possible.33.What should students do before living off campus?A.They should find someone to take care of them.B.They should fully develop the ability to live alone.C.They should learn all aspects of off-campus living.D.They should seek accommodation through an agent.34.What does the underlined word"overpack"in the last paragraph mean?A.Overlook.B.Overconsume.C.Overestimate.D.Overload.35.What is the best title for the text?A.Residential Housing At Different CollegesB.Choice Between Housing On Or Off CampusC.Accommodation Situation For College StudentsD.Different Living Experience On Or Off Campus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。

Gardening changed how I see myself as a disabled woman. When I started gardening in 2018, I didn’t know anything about plants, let alone how to grow things we can eat. I thought gardening required a lot of 1 tasks. As I have a genetic (遗传的) condition that causes my bones to 2 easily, I didn’t believe I could complete them. The thought of taking care of plants in a wheelchair every day made me feel 3 . But just like how I gradually learnt everything else as a disabled person, I had to 4 how to garden my way.That first season, I visited my garden as much as I could. Noticing my interest in gardening, my neighbors in the community 5 offered me advice and support. Under their careful 6 , I managed to pull up the weeds and watered my plants on my own. Finally, I was so proud to eat the tomatoes I grew and even shared some with neighbors. They tasted like summertime.Gardening has 7 how I see other parts of my life. As a disabled woman, I fear being seen as a 8 and struggle to ask for the things I need. Gardening helped me normalize the fact that I have needs. I don’t think my plant is a heavy load because it needs more nutrition. I don’t 9 it for getting insects and not being able to fight against them. Gardening also helped me expand my social circle and grow close to people in our community.Over the years, gardening has made me feel more confident in every aspect of my life. I’m planting what I want to grow, and I have gained a lot of 10 from that.1. A. simple B. physical C. pleasant D. urgent2. A. change B. rest C. break D. move3.

Without a doubt,Cai’s impact on contemporary art is undeniable.His installations have attracted audiences around the world and will inspire future generations to break free and find beauty in the unpredictable(不可预测的).4.Which might be the best title for Cai Guo-Qiang?A.An explosive genius.B.A creative sculptor.C.A traditional painter.D.An artistic pioneer.5.What does the word“ephemeral”mean in the passage?A.Unique.B.Short-lived.C.Unconventional.D.Breath-taking.6.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A.Cai’s impact on art is unpredictable.B.Cai’s success results from global recognition.C.Cai’s art changes traditional concept of beauty.D.Cai’s art inspires artists to think outside the box.7.What is the text most likely to be?A.A diary entry of Cai Guo-Qiang.B.A profile of celebrity in a magazine.C.A scientific research paper on fireworks.D.An advertisement for a fireworks company.CThe world’s largest whales are more than just astonishing creatures.Much like the ocean, soil and forests,whales can help save humans from the increasing climate crisis by storing carbon.In a paper published recently,climate researchers suggest that whales are important,but often overlooked,carbon sinks.The enormous size of these marine mammals,which can reach150tons,means they can store carbon much more effectively than smaller animals.And because whales live longer than most animals,they could be“one of the largest stable living carbon pools”in the ocean.Even when whales die,their dead bodies fall down to the deepest parts of the sea and settle on the seafloor,trapping the carbon they’ve stored in their bodies.An indirect way whales can be critical carbon sinks is through their waste.Whale poop(粪便)is rich in nutrients which can betaken up by phytoplankton—tiny organisms that suck up carbon dioxide as they grow.The process of carbon sequestration helps reduce climate impact,because it locks away carbon that otherwise would have warmed the planet somewhere else for hundreds,if not thousands of years.Yet whales are threatened,with six out of13great whale species classified as endangered or vulnerable due to threats including industrial whaling,as well as trap in fishing equipment, climate change-caused shifts in prey availability,noise pollution and more.Heidi Pearson,a researcher at the University of Alaska Southeast,said the research shows that protecting whales has a double benefit—helping to stop the biodiversity crisis as well as human-caused climate change.Protecting whales is a low risk and low regret strategy,because there’s really no downside.She said there was no risk to this strategy compared to other untested, expensive solutions to capturing and trapping carbon,such as geoengineering.But there remain big gaps in knowledge to fully determine how whale carbon should be used to slow down climate changes.Pearson hopes the current paper pushes policymakers to consider whales as a significant part of climate change solution.8.What does paragraph2focus on about whales?A.What their life cycles are like.B.Why their roles are overlooked.C.Why they are called carbon sinks.D.Where they are on the food chain.9.What does the underlined“it”refer to?A.The waste of whales.B.The carbon trap of whales.C.The death of whales.D.The carbon cycle in nature.10.What does Heidi Pearson want to stress?A.Geoengineering is costly and untested.B.The strategy involving whales carries no risks.C.Protecting whales can be a natural climate solution.D.Whales’survival is the key to stopping biodiversity crisis.11.What is the purpose of the text?A.To call for further research on whales.B.To call on people to balance the ecosystem.C.To present a new reason for protecting whales.D.To stress the need of addressing climate changes.DCollege and high-school teachers are expressing concern about ChatGPT,an AI program that allows people with limited writing skills to create high-quality texts.It calls into question how and why we teach writing at all.If AI can do a fairly good job at most writing tasks,why spend so much time learning writing in school?In fact,learning to write goes beyond just mastering grammar,punctuation,and sentence structure.It involves much more.For one thing,it’s about learning to turn a loose set of thoughts into a clear line of reasoning—a skill that is useful for everyone,not just those who enjoy writing or need to do a lot of it for work.Learning to write also trains your imagination to construct the person who will read your words.It puts you in relation to someone you may not know,someone who may even not exist. When you learn to write,you learn to meet their needs in an unfamiliar context.Even ordinary assignments teach students to predict what another person knows and expects.Writing is never simply self-expression.It’s expression to a specific audience for a specific purpose.In some cases,like a love letter,a writer knows their audience very well.In others,the audience is every bit a work of the imagination as a novel’s characters are.Writers,then,should give up trying to address the public at large,but should imagine that a friend,though not the closest friend,is listening to our talk.When this act of imagination is done well,a reader can feel deeply understood,as if a stranger has told them some previously unknown truth about themselves.That’s how I felt reading“Difference Maker”—an essay about parenthood.While our situations were unique, naming the problem provided a deeper understanding.It seems unavoidable that large-language models of AI will allow us to offload some of the writing tasks that students learn in school.But we can’t allow ourselves to lose the capacity to empathize(共情)with distant strangers at just the moment when we’re more able than ever tocommunicate with them.12.What is teachers’concern about ChatGPT?A.It’s a challenge to apply it to teaching.B.It’s hard to grade a paper written by it.C.It limits students’imagination and creativity.D.It questions the necessity of teaching writing.13.What does the author think of learning to write?A.It helps with logical thinking.B.It is a basic skill for everyone.C.It focuses on correct expression.D.It is closely related to social skills.14.What makes writing effective according to the text?A.Expressing oneself.B.Targeting intended readers.C.Conveying imaginative ideas.D.Creating attractive characters.15.What may be a suitable title for the text?A.What AI Can’t Teach the Writing StudentsB.ChatGPT Writing VS Traditional WritingC.Never Lose the Capacity for EmpathyD.What Is the Future for AI Writing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。

Duchess Nina launched a campaign to save as many animals as possible, and soon became known as the “animal heroine” for her effort s.Duchess Nina worked with local farmers and animal owners to relocate animals to safer areas, such as the Scottish Highlands. She also established a network of volunteers who helped to care for animals during the war. She organized feeding programs, medical care and transportation, ensuring that animals were well looked after even during the most difficult times. The most challenging aspect of her work was the shortage of food during the war. So she established a vegetable garden and used leftovers to create nutritious meals for animals. She also reached out to the public for donations of food and supplies, and was able to secure enough resources to keep animals healthy and fed.In addition to her work with domestic animals, Duchess Nina was also a strong advocate for wildlife conservation. She established a center for wild animals in Scotland, where she provided a safe place for deer, foxes and other animals that were threatened by the war. She also worked with local protection groups to protect natural habitats.Duchess Nina’s work during World War Ⅱwas not without its risks. She frequentlySadly, some people saw her efforts as a distraction from the war effort. However, she contin ued to work tirelessly for animals. After the war, Duchess Nina’s work was recognized by the government and she got an important award for her services to animals.4.How did Duchess Nina probably feel when she heard the government’s orders?A.

Dangerous.C. Faraway.D. Poor.Underwater travel is difficult and dangerous, but many people have to stay deep under the ocean. Thus, humans have come up with a few designs of vehicles to move around under the ocean. But what if there was a better way to travel?Hilary Bart-Smith, an engineer at the University of Virginia, thinks a vehicle that travels like a manta ray (魔鬼鱼) would be able to operate for long periods at sea. Manta rays which can grow up to 29 feet long are among the most efficient swimmers in the ocean. Different from animals and people pushing against water, manta rays swim by moving through the water with wing-like movements of their fins (鳍) . Efficiency means using less energy to move farther.Bart-Smith and other engineers at the University of Virginia had to find out what manta rays looked like on the inside to better understand how they move. They took X-rays to find out how a manta ray's fins are built. They found that a web of cartilage (软骨) stretches across each fin.Once the engineers knew how a manta ray's fin was constructed, they could build one of their own. They made a long row of metal struts with many hinges to imitate the manta ray's web of cartilage. The engineers put their design inside a flexible cover, shaped like a manta ray's fin. Then they tested it in the university swimming pool. They were happy to see that it swam just like a manta ray in the ocean.Engineers and scientists are still learning and experimenting with how to imitate these amazing animals. For now, engineers study their movements and learn from the most efficient swimmers in the ocean. Perhaps someday engineers will be able to build manta ray robots that are big enough to transport people.8.How do manta rays swim?A.By moving like birds.B.By swimming like humans.C.By swimming like other fishes.D.By pushing against water like animals. 9.What can we learn from the second and third paragraphs?A.Manta rays look like travel vehicles.B.Manta rays are the fastest swimmers.C.Manta rays can grow at least 29 feet long.D.Manta rays'fins consist of a web of cartilage.10.Why do the engineers study manta rays?A.To learn about their habits.B.To control manta ray robots.C.To protect marine creatures.D.To design undersea vehicles.11.What's the author's attitude towards the research?A.Supportive.B.Negative.C.Doubtful.D.Objective.The most obvious dog fetish (迷恋) today is the longing for cuteness. Almost every day you can see adorable pictures of dogs and other animals that will make you smile and say, "How cute! "It is a cultural phenomenon that the media scholar James Meese calls the "cute economy' which exists primarily on social media, is user-generated, and is heavily dominated by pictures of animals, especially pets. The goal is to generate a positive response, probably followed by a tap on the screen to “like” and “share”. We can click through image after image of cute animals doing cute things, feeling a little boost of good cheer.The marketing researchers have identified some of the most common categories of cuteness in online pet content: animals doing silly things;animals of extreme size;animals with unusual looks;and animals behaving in ways that seem human-like. Dogs and other animals in the "cute economy" are often further humanized by being dressed in clothing and accessorized (装饰) with hats, jewellery, nail polish and fur dyed a rainbow of colors. Users who post successfully and with some strategies can make money by doing so. Thus, certain dogs have become cuteness celebrities, with millions of devoted followers and paid content from advertisers.Unfortunately, the price of the "cute economy" comes at a serious cost. The cutest and most popular breeds tend to be those with the most significant risk of health and behavioral problems. Cuteness is often coupled with their discomfort. People are drawn to the cuteness of dogs with extremely foreshortened skulls and extremely short legs and awkwardly long bodies, such as the French bulldog and the corgi.Actually, there are well-established health issues. We should treat the "cute economy' with caution, like resisting the commodification (商品化) of appearance by opting out of social media channels promoting the "cute economy". We can also choose not to "like" or"share" images of dogs whose cuteness is linked with discomfort. Although we are biologically attracted to dogs that are super cute, we should be mindful in our "impulses". 12.What is the key to the "cute economy" according to the text?A.Cute animals' attractive appearance.B.Taking pictures of different animals.C.Pet owners' liking adorable pictures.D.Posting cute animals' pictures on social media.13.Which kind of cuteness is most likely to be the online pet content?A.A normal-sized dog is eating bones.B.A white cat is quietly lying next to its owner.C.A monkey is attentively taking care of its baby.D.A parrot dressed in a suit is singing and dancing.14.What is the side effect of the "cute economy"?A.It will change the animals' nature.B.It may make the animals not so cute.C.It may cause health problems to the animals.D.It will result in a decline in animal population.15.What may be the best title for the text?A.Marketing Strategy-CutenessB.The Cute Economy and Its PriceC.Happiness from PetsD.Share Pictures or Not二、七选五16.Anyone experiences a failure occasionally. But how do you deal with it when it occurs? Blaming yourself makes no sense. Faced with a failure, try to find proper ways, which is the key to success.①______If you can't realize what the problem is and don't process failures clearly, you'll find yourself unable to sail along elegantly like a boat through the water ahead. So it is of great importance to spare some time to analyse the relevant causes of the failures.Practise self-acceptance and self-compassion (自我同情) . ②______ Self-acceptance does not mean believing that you are perfect. It means accepting yourself for who you really are. Self-compassion does not mean giving up on growth and self-improvement, but it means showing kindness to yourself. Practise them, decide what to do differently next time and move on.Reframe positively. Positive reframing requires viewing things in a new way that allows youto recognize and appreciate positive aspects of your situation. ③______ As a result, failures can be transformed into challenges and new possibilities to experience life more fully.Laugh it off. Laughing at yourself about a mistake you made is a great gift, which requires a shared understanding of humanity. The point is that once you can laugh at a failure, it is no longer terminal. Instead, you are ready to go ahead. ④______Of course, failures are actually not fun. ⑤______ Finally, you'll make fewer mistakes, experience fewer failures and naturally develop yourself into the being you are destined to become.A.Understand what has gone wrong.B.Save every minute to avoid failures.C.They are the basics of moving on from failures.D.If you can laugh it off, then you can forgive yourself.e the above ways, learn from failures and move forward.F.Similarly, if you can laugh at yourself, others will laugh at you.G.It helps you take advantage of opportunities rather than avoid problems.三、完形填空(15空)Fiona liked to sing at home.

The essay was written in a form of English used in cell phone text messages.Text messages(also called SMS)through cell phones became very popular in the late 1990s.At first mobile phone companies thought that text messaging would be a good way to send messages to customers,but customers quickly began to use the text messagingservice to send messages to each other.Teenagers in particular enjoyed using text messaging,and they began to create a new language for messagescalled“texting.”A text message is limited to 160 characters,including letters,spaces,and numbers,so messages must be kept short.In addition,typing on the small keypad of a cell phone is difficult,so it’s common to make words shorter.In texting;a single letter or number can represent a word,like“r”for“are,”“u”for“you,”and“2”for“to.”Several letters can also represent a phrase,like“10lfor”laughing out loud.”Another characteristic of texting is the leaving out of letters in a word,like spelling“please” as“pls.”Some parents and teachers worry that texting will make children bad spellers and bad writers. The student who wrote the essay at the top of this page said writing that way was more comfortable for her.(The essay said,“My summer holidays were a complete waste of time. Before,we used to go to New York to see my brother,his girlfriend,and their three kids face toface.”) Not everyone agrees that texting is a bad thing.Some experts say languages always develop,and this is just another way in which English is changing.Other people believe texting will disappear soon.New technology for voice messages may soon make text messages a thing of the past.61.What is the writers opinion of text messagingshy;A.The writer does not give his opinions.B.It is not bad for children.C.It will make children bad writers.D.It is fun and easy to do62.Which characteristic of texting is NOT described in the passageshy;ing letters to represent words.ing phrases to represent essays.ing letters to represent phrases.ing numbers to represent words.63.Which of the following was most probably the title of the student’s essayshy;A.My Smmr HolsB.CU in LAC.My GFD.MyGr8Tchr64.Why do some people think that texting is badshy;A.It costs too muchB.It’s not comfortable.C.Teenagers won’t learn to write correctlyD.It’s too difficult for teenagers to type65.Why aren’t some people worried about the effect of textingshy; A.Not many people use texting.B.Spelling in English is too difficult.C.Teenagers quickly become bored with texting.D.Texting will disappear because of new technology.CGooglefight is a simple service available on the Internet which offers you the chance to compare two different items and see how many hits they get on the Google search engine.This seemingly simple device has proved invaluable to users,especially to help win arguments.For example,imagine that you and your friendsare arguing about who are the most popular music or movie stars,you can decide the argument by writing the names in the Googlefight boxes.Letsay that you are arguing about Jackie Chan and Jet Li.You will quickly discover that Jet Li is mentioned 16 million times on Google pages,whereas Jackie Chan is mentioned a mere 12 million times!In this unscientific way,you can claim victory for one Star over another.But teachers have come up with ways of using Googlefight which are much more useful from an academic point of view,particularly when it comes to studying languages.You can,for example.find out the frequency of two words with the same meaning,and deduce(推断) from the answers which one is more common.For example,lets take the words“buy”and “purchase”,which mean the same thing(although“buy”is only a verband“purchase”is bot h a verb and a noun).It is immediately clear from Googlefight that“buy”is much more commonly used,with a massive three and a half billion hits,compared to only one billion occurrences for the more formal word.But the real value of Googlefight to the languagelearner is in determining which is the more common of two phrases.For example,“raining cats and dogs”is an old-fashioned English expression about the weather.Do English speakers still use itshy; Or are they more likely to say“pouring down”shy;Google fight suggests the latter.“Pouring down”has 898,000 Google hits,whereas“raining cats and dogs”only has 326,000.With phrases,it’s important to remember that you need to use quote marks to make the search more accurate.For example.if you type in the similar phrases“look after”and“take care of’”without quote marks,the second phrase seems to be more common,but with quote marks,the result is reversed(相反的).66.What is Googlefightshy;A.A fight between two people on Google.B.A way to make sure you win an argument.C.A website showing how many hits two different things have.D.A list of all the websites on Google.67.If you want to know which star has more website hits, you .A.can write their names in two boxesB.can decide if its Jackie Chan or Jet LiC.have 16 million chances to winD.have to claim victory in the argumentnguage teachers find it useful because .A.there are a lot of words on Google sitesB.it can tell them which of two words appears more oftenC.some words mean the same thingmon words have a billion hits69.What must you remember to do if you are checking phrases by Googlefightshy;A.Make sure they mean the same thing.B.Make sure they are different.C.Remember to put quote marks round the phrase.D.Dont put quote marks round the phrase.70.Which statement is NOT true according to the passageshy;A.Googlefight is effective to determine the more common of two phrases.B.Googlefight is a scientific way to decide an argument.C.Quote marks can make the search more accurate.D.Googlefight is invaluable tO help win arguments. DWith fifteen years Britain and other nations should be well on with the building of huge industrial complexes for the recycling of waste.The word rubbish could lose its meaning because everything which goes into the dumps would be made into something useful.Even the most dangerous and unpleasant wastes would provide energy if nothing else.The latest project is to take a city of around half a million inhabitants and discover exactly what raw materials go into it and what go out.The aim is to find out how much of these raw materials could be provided if a plant for recycling waste were built just outside the city.This plant would recycle not only metal such as steel,lead and copper,but also paper and rubber aswell.Another new project is being set up to discover the best ways of sorting and separating the rubbish.When this project is complete,the rubbish will be processed like this:First,it will pass through sharpmetal bars which will tear open the plastic bags in which rubbish is usually packed then it will pass through a powerful fan to separate the lightest elements from the heavy solids;after that founders and rollers will break up everything that Can be broken.Finally, the rubbish will pass under magnets(磁铁),which will remove the bits of iron and steel;the rubber and plastic will then be sorted out in the final stage.The first full-scale giant recycling plants are perhaps fifteen years away.Indeed,with the growing cost of transporting rubbish to more distant dumps,some big cities will be forced to build their own recycling plants before long.71.The phrase“be well on with”(Para.1)most probably means .A.have completed what was startedB.get ready to startC.have achieved a great deal inD.put an end to72.What is NOT mentioned as a part of the recycling process described in paragraph 3shy;A.Breaking up whatever is breakable.B.Sharpening metal bars.C.Separating light elements from the heavy ones.D.Sorting out small pieces of metal.73.Whats the main reason for big cities to build their own recycling plantsshy;A.To deal with wastes in a better way.B.To protect the environment from pollution.C.To get raw materials locally.D.To get big profits from those plants.74.The first full-scale huge recycling plants .A.began to operate fifteen years agoB.will probably take less than fifteen years to buildC.will be built for fifteen yearsD.will probably be in operation in fifteen years75.The passage is mainly about .A.a cheap way to get energyB.the location of recycling plantsC.new ways of recycling wastesD.the probability of city environment提供的最新高三英语期末试卷及参考答案,能够帮助。
