高中英语练习题 2023年江苏省南通市高考英语四模试卷
2023年江苏省南通市高考英语四模试卷一、第一部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分45分）第一节 （共4小题；每小题12分，满分45分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项．1．（12分）I stood there listening to my father．"Which one of you did this？"he asked with a frightening voi ce．We all stared down at the floor on which was the art of a child's handwriting in chalk．I stood there and had hoped that no one else could see it．The look on my dad's face made me frightened．The only words that came from my mouth were，"Not me，Dad．"The others denied （否认） it as well．Without saying a word，my father disappeared for just a minute and ca me back with a piece of paper and a pencil．He was so determined to find the truth!"I want each of you to write exactly what you see on the step．" I was not a stupid kid，though and when m y turn came，I wrote the words differently．So when my dad compared the handwriting，he still couldn't tel l which one of us did it．Frustrated，he stood a step above us and looked down at his three small kids，saying，"I'm going to give yo u one chance．"Not surprisingly，neither my brother nor my sister spoke up．"Well，since none of you seem ed to have done it，then you all get a spanking （打屁股）．"What？Still，I stood there and said nothing．"I did it，"I looked around to see my sister come forward．Huh？She did it？No，she didn't because I did．W hy was she taking the blame for something I did？I stood there，and I let it happen．That was the last time I let anyone else take the blame for me．When I think back to that day，I know I learned the value of family，of a sister who would do anything for me．1．The father was angry because．A．their handwriting was badB．they made the floor dirtyC．they wasted a lot of chalksD．they didn't finish their homework2．Why did the author deny having done it？A．Because he didn't like his father．B．Because he knew someone would admit it．C．Because he thought no one had seen it．D．Because he was afraid of his father．3．The underlined part"I was not a stupid kid"probably means""A．I was better at handwriting than othersB．I understood the purpose of my fatherC．I know how to improve my handwritingD．I knew Dad would find the truth4．It can be inferred from the passage that the author．A．knows his father treated him strictly out of loveB．has never done anything wrong ever sinceC．will take the blame for his mistakes in future．2．（12分）Your house may have an effect on your figure．Experts say the way you design your home could p lay a role in whether you pack on the pounds or keep them off．You can make your environment work for yo u instead of against you．Here are some ways to turn your home into part of diet plan．Open the curtains and turn up the lights．Dark environments are more likely to encourage overeating，fo r people are often less self-conscious when they're in poorly lit places-and so more likely to eat lots of foo d．If your home doesn't have enough window light，get more lamps and flood the place with brightness．Mind the colors．Research suggests warm colors fuel our appetites（胃口）．In one study，people who at e meals in a blue room consumed（消耗） 33 percent less than those in a yellow or red room．Warm colors lik e yellow make food appear more appetizing，while cold colors make us feel less hungry．So when it's time t o repaint，go blue．Don't forget the clock---or the radio．People who eat slowly tend to consume about 70 fewer calories （卡路里） per meal than those who rush through their meals．Begin keeping track of the time，and try to make d inner last at least 30 minutes．And while you're at it，actually sit down to eat．If you need some help slowin g down，turn on relaxing music．It makes you less likely to rush through a meal．Down size the dishes．Big serving bowls and plates can easily make us fat．We eat about 22 percent mor e when using a 12-inch plate instead of a 10-inch plate．When we choose a large spoon over a smaller one，t otal intake （摄入） jumps by 14 percent．And we'll pour about 30 percent more liquid into a short，wide gla ss than a tall，skinny glass．（1）The text is especially helpful for those who care about ．A．their home comfortsB．their body shapeC．house buyingD．healthy diets（2）A home environment in blue can help people ．A．digest food betterB．regain their appetitesC．burn more caloriesD．reduce food intake（3）What are people advised to do at mealtimes？A．Eat quickly．B．Play fast music．C．Use smaller spoons．D．Turn down the lights．（4）What can be a suitable title for the test？A．Is Your House Making You Fat？B．Ways of Serving DinnerC．Effects of Self-ConsciousnessD．Is Your Home Environment Relaxing？3．（9分）Share with us!Would you like to have your writing published in this magazine？Then let us know!We pay for stories，interesting accounts and jokes：Interesting accounts and Jokes50What's made you laugh recently？A funny sign？A workmate's story？Got a joke？Send it in for Laughter is the Best

sent to the magazine should ．A．be publishedB．be real and originalC．describe strange behaviorD．contain less than 800 words．4．（12分）There are a large number of ants worldwide．Each individual （个人的） ant hardly weighs anythin g，but put together they weigh the same as all of mankind．They also live nearly everywhere，except on col d mountain tops and around the poles．For animals their size，ants have been surprisingly successful，largel y because of their wonderful social behavior．In colonies （群体） that are changing in size from a few hundred to tens of millions，they organize their li ves with a clear division（分工） of labor．Even amazing is how they achieve this organization．Where we us e sound and sight to communicate，ants depend on pheromones （外激素），chemicals sent out by individual s and smelled or tasted by fellow members of their colony．When an ant finds food，it produces a pheromon es that will lead others straight to where the food is．When an individual ant comes under attack or is dyin g，it sends out an alarm pheromone to warn the colony of danger．In fact，when it comes to the art of war，ants have no equal．They are completely fearless and will take on an animal much larger than themselves，attacking in large groups and achieve their goal．Such is their devo tion to the common good of the colony that not only soldier ants but also worker ants will lose their lives to help win an enemy．Behaving in this selfless and devoted way，these little animals have survived on Earth for more than 140 m illion years，longer than dinosaurs．Because they think as one，they have a united intelligence greater than you would expect from its individual parts．（1）We can learn from the passage that ants are ．A．not found around the polesB．too many to achieve any organizationC．not willing to share foodD．more successful than all other animals（2）Ants can use pheromones for ．A．escapeB．warning enemiesC．arranging laborD．communication（3）What does the underlined expression"take on"in Paragraph 3

2019版高考英语阅读理解一轮提升选练（4）AIn a bid to convince drivers in Aichi Prefecture to keep their hands on the wheel and their eyes on the road，a new Japanese smartphone app offers free coffee coupons(优惠券)to drivers who don’t check their phones for at least 100 km.For the last 13 years，Aichi Prefecture has recorded the highest rate of death in traffic accidents in st year，there were 443,691 accidents that resulted in injuries or deaths，and 50,101 arrests involving the use of smartphones while driving.With handhelds becoming such a big part of people’s lives，there appears to be an increase in violations of this nature，and authorities have yet to come up with an effective plan to deal with the problem.Interestingly，a Japanese company seems to think that a creative new app could in some way help drivers to keep themselves from checking their phones at the wheel and reduce the number of traffic accidents.Toyota Motor Corporation，Komeda Coffee and KDDI Corporation of Communication have teamed up to create Driving Barista，an app that uses the phone’s sensor to sense the tilt(倾斜)of the device，and the GPS to determine the distance driven.This allows it to calculate the number of kilometers a driver has traveled with the smartphone facing down.When Driving Barista determines that the smartphone has not been checked for at least 1 00 kilometers，it will reward the driver with a coupon for a cup of blended or iced coffee at a Komeda Coffee Shop.The reward is earned after every 100 kilometers driven without checking thephone.If you try to change the number before it reaches 100 km，the app will reset back at 0 km.Toyota claims that this is the first smartphone app that attempts to deal with traffic safety issues.“In line with contributing to the final goal of achieving zero death and zero traffic accidents，Toyota has taken automobile safety measures as one of its top priority management concerns，”said Shuichi Murakami，managing officer at Toyota.“By carrying out a new traffic safety regulations together with Komeda Coffee and KDDI，we hope to further reduce traffic accidents.”文章大意：文章以爱知县和日本的交通状况为线索，谈到政府和一些汽车企业为降低因使用手机带来的交通事故而发明的一种新设备。

The notes were not in modularized; it was a printed onesizefitsall message.My roommate realized I didn't receive a thankyou note, so she sent a private message to the couple just letting them know I had been left out.I didn't know she had done this until later.The next day, I got a text message apologizing and saying that I had been left out because their friend who addressed the notes must have missed me！(Miss Manners, they didn't even address the notes themselves！)It was accompanied by a picture of the thankyou note, which was texted to me with the message, “Here is a thank you just for you. ”I was a little annoyed.I helped them in their need and didn't get a second thought.I have not responded to her text message.Is it fair of me to consider this friendship over? Should I tell her that I am upset, or should I accept that this rude thank you was better than nothing?文章大意：这是一篇书信文体阅读。

阅读下列短文, 从给的四个选项 (A、B、C和D) 中, 选出最佳选项。
Should doctors ever lie to benefit their patient—to speedrecovery or to cover the coming of death？In medicine as in law，government，and other lines of work，the requirements of honesty often seem dwarfed (变矮小)by greater needs：the need to protect form brutal news or to uphold a promise of secrecy；to advance the public interest.What should doctors say，for example，to a 46yearold man coming in for a routine physical checkup just before going on vacation with his family who，though he feels in perfect health，is found to have a form of cancer that will cause him to die within six months？Is it best to tell him the truth？If he asks，should the doctors reject that he is ill，or minimize the gravity of the illness？Should they at least hide the truth until after the family vacation?Doctors face such choices often.At times，they see important reasons to lie for the patient's own sake；in their eyes，such lies sharply form selfserving ones.Studies show tha t most doctors sincerely believe that the seriously ill patients do not want to know the truth about their condition，and that informing them risks destroying their hope，so that they may recover more slowly，or deteriorate (恶化)faster，perhaps even commit suicide (自杀)．But other studies show that，contrary to the belief of many physicians；a great majority of patients do want to be told the truth，even about serious illness，and feel cheated when they learn that they have been misled.We are also learning that truthful information，humanely conveyed (传达)，helps patients cope with illness：help them tolerate pain better，need less medicine，and even recover faster after surgery.There is urgent need to debate this issue openly.Not only in medicine，but in other profession as well，practitioners may find themselves repeatedly in difficulty where serious consequences (后果)seem avoidable only through deception(欺骗)．Yet the public has every reason to know professional deception，for such practices are peculiarly likely to become deeply rooted，to spread，and to trust.Neither in medicine，nor in law，government，or the social sciences can there be comfort in the old saying，“What you don't know can't hurt you.”1．According to the author's opinion，lies ________.A．can benefit the patientsB．can help the patients to recoveryC．can do nothing to the patients' illnessD．can not benefit the patients答案：A 细节理解题。

I wanted to change that. I started the Catwalk Coding Camp where girls learn how to code（编程）light-up accessories （配饰）and show them at a fashion show. I thought the main result would be that some would be interested enough to learn more, but it turned out that the girls were hungry for role models in the field.I'd never seen myself as a role model, but suddenly there were younger girls looking up to me. It made me want to be better. This "role model psychology" doesn't just change what I do out in the world；it changes what I do for myself. I'm halfway through my first year as a computer science major. To be honest, it's not always easy!I struggled, and there was a moment when I considered changing my major. Difficult as it is,I survive and move on. Look around the lecture hall and only one third of the students are girls.

The law aims at limiting smoking at home which might be hazardous for others' health living under the same roof. In that case, it will be considered as "domestic violence". The new law came into force on August 20.According to the center for research and knowledge management for tobacco control, at the Faculty of Medical Science of Mahidol University, there are about 4.9 million households where one or more family members smoke. An average of 10.3 million people have unconsciously become passive smokers because they've been breathing in smoke at home. Scientific studies show that passive smokers are at greater risk of being affected by cancer.Of 75 child patients from houses where smoking is practiced,76% of them were found to have nicotine traces in their urine（尿液），with 43% of them having nicotine content going beyond permitted levels. Smoking at home also may lead to physical or emotional violence because of aggressiveness（攻击性）when there is a lack of smoking, and might as well ruin relationships between smokers and non-smoker family members.According to the new law,anyone who thinks they are affected by domestic smoking can report to officials concerned so that inspectors will be sent to investigate and take legal action against the smokers. Once confirmed, the court may order a person to receive treatment to quit smoking in an attempt to protect the person's family. In February in 2019，Thailand had banned smoking at six of its airports along with a ban in public places.8.What do we know about the new law in Thailand？______A. It came into effect on May 22.B. It aimed at protecting the health of non-smokers.C. It regarded smoking at home as a kind of domestic violence.D. It clearly claimed that smoking at home is a crime.9.What does the underlined word "hazardous" in Paragraph 2 probably mean？______A. Anxious.B. Harmful.C. Beneficial.D. Essential.10.What is Paragraph 4 mainly about？______A. The purpose of initiating the law.B. Responses to the new law.C. Actions to quit smoking.D. Bad consequences of smoking at home.11.What can be inferred from the text？______A. Smoking is illegal anywhere in Thailand.B. Passive smokers are not likely to suffer from cancer.C. People tend to be more aggressive when they are smoking.D. Thailand is making efforts to create a smoke-free environment.DDo you want to look fashionable？Is looking fashionable more important than being comfortable？Many people seem to think so, judging by the things they wear. But fashion is not everything. It is more important to be a healthy and good person.People go to great lengths to be fashionable. Some people think they have to have a certainbody type,so they go on extreme, unhealthy diets in order to change their bodies. In addition, many women wear uncomfortable fashions, such as high-heeled shoes that create blisters（水泡），tight body shapers that limit blood flow, and sticky false eyelashes（假睫毛）. Men and women alike spend time and money on products that change their natural hair color and use hot irons and blow dryers to curl or straighten their hair. Some people spend several hours a day in front of a mirror. Is fashion important enough to spend so much time and effort on changing how they look like？If the purpose of fashion is to make a person feel good,it does not make sense that he or she would go through so much discomfort to be fashionable. Fashion should not come first. People should prioritize（优先考虑）being healthy and positive. What people wear does not indicate anything about their personalities. Instead of spending hours choosing a suit, perhaps you should call your friends and do something together. Instead of going on strict diets and starving, why not eat some healthy foods and then exercise？By doing these things, you can keep a healthy lifestyle and truly grow as a person.12.Why does the author include questions in the text？______A. To enrich the content.B. To introduce a new topic.C. To reflect different attitudes.D. To make readers think and give their opinions.13.Which statement best represents the author's viewpoint？______A. Fashion can make people do some unhealthy things.B. Fashion increases famous people's self-respect.C. When you look good, you feel good.D. People need to diet to lose weight.14.Which of the following activities would the author most likely recommend？______A. Shopping for fashionable clothes.B. Starting a new diet with a friend.C. Going skating with friends.D. Changing the hairstyle every week.15.The author's main purpose in writing the text is to ______ .A. show readers advantages and disadvantages of dietingB. persuade readers to value health more than fashionC. tell readers ways to become fashionableD. inform readers of the latest fashion trends二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共12.5分）To an outsider,any culture can seem confusing.And the UK's got a thing or two that raises a few eyebrows.However,understand the why and things might be less puzzling.（1）______ .In a world where 61% of nations drive on the right,Brits drive on the left.Why？Most people think it goes back to Medieval,maybe even Roman times.（2）______ ，when you remember that right-handed people wear a sword on their left hip.Travelling on the left allowed you to keep your weapon arm toward your opponent,who would be on your right.This practice continued until the 18th century when a law was passed requiring all traffic crossing London Bridge to keep to the left.Visitors to the UK that have just washed their hands in an old-fashioned sink might be wondering why one tap is only for hot water,the other cold.（3）______ .So,why this oddity？It relates to a time when hot and cold water were kept separate to prevent pollution.Drinkable cold water came from a mains supply,but hot water came from attic tanks and was not considered suitable for consumption.So they were kept apart.Millions of people drink tea worldwide,but the odd Brits put milk in theirs.Why？This mysterious practice relates to the quality of china cup used in the 18th century when tea was first imposed.For the majority of Brits,the cups available couldn't stand the heat of the boiling water and would break,so milk was added first.（4）______ .And this practical tweak soon became a national habit.（5）______ .As you can see,these odd Brits have perfectly clear reasons for left-hand driving,two-tap sinks and tea with milk.Even if they still seem strange,at least now you're in the know.A.This makes it difficult to improveB.There is a method to the madnessC.This unusual behavior makes senseD.You can know the origins of the practicesE.Either can make washing very uncomfortableF.This cooled the cup enough to resist the boiling waterG.Here are the reasons for three of Britain's more puzzling practices16.

When he thought of the past，my grandfather would sometimes show us photographs of himself at school.They were brown and faded，and it was hard to believe that the blurred figure of the little boy in the short trousers and socks could ever have been Grandfather.Besides，he wore a cap—and the boys in the photographs wore caps pulled so far forward that half of their faces were obscured.When Grandfather asked us to pick him out from the group，we would surely point to the wrong boy.On one such occasion my younger sister，aged six，burst into tears when Grandfather proudly guided her finger to the right boy.“How could that boy be you？”she cried.“He should have a heard.”We were，of course，all convinced that grandfathers should have beards，preferably white and bushy，like our own grandfather's.“I was a goo d scholar，”Grandfather would say，wagging his beard over the photographs.“I should have been top of the class if I hadn't had to get up at six every morning to milk the cows and chop the wood，and again when I came home from school.”“But Saturdays? What did you do on Saturdays？”“Saturda ys，if it was fine，I'd be out all day in the fields with the men，”replied Grandfather.“And if it was wet，I'd be helping my mother with odd jobs round the house.There wasn't much time for studying.”We all tried hard to imagine what it would have been like to have been Grandfather getting up at crack of dawn and never，obviously，having a moment for himself.It seemed we had learnt something from what Grandfather had said about his childhood.1．In the first paragraph of this passage，what the author really tells us is that________.A. his grandfather used to wear short trousers，socks and a cap as wellB．it was difficult to tell which of the boys in the photographs was GrandfatherC．he didn't believe Grandfather wore a cap pulled forward when he was at schoolD．it was fun to watch boys in the photographs wearing caps pulled forward答案：B 细节判断题，可用直接就题找题法来解。

English around the worldToday，nearly 350 million people across every continent use the English vocabulary as a mother tongue.Three quarters of the world's mails and letters are in English.So are more than half the world's technical and scientific periodicals(期刊)—it is the language of technology from Silicon Valley(硅谷) to Shanghai.English is the medium for 80 percent of the information stored in the world's computers.Nearly half of all business deals in Europe are conducted in English.It is also the language of sports and glamour(魅力)—the official language of the Olympics and the Miss Universe competition.Five of the largest broadcasting companies in the world(CBS，NBC，ABC，BBC，CBC)transmit in English to audiences that regularly exceed one hundred million.Though English is a language as old as Greek or Chinese，its truly significant development has occurred only in the last one hundred years or so.Taking the most conservative estimates，there are three or four hundred million people using English，but not as a native language.English has become a second language in countries like India，Nigeria or Singapore where it is used for administration，broadcasting and education.In these countries，English is a vital alternative language，often unifying huge districts and diverse populations.When Rajiv Gandhi appealed for an end to the violence that broke out after the murder of his mother，he went on television and spoke to his people in English.Then English is used as a foreign language in some countries，like Holland or Yugoslavia，where it is backed up by a tradition of English teaching.It is used to have contact with people in other countries ，usually to promote trade and scientific progress.A Dutch poet is read by a few thousands.However，translated into English，he can be read by hundreds of thousands.As either a first，second or foreign language，English has been a global phenomenon.1．According to the passage，which of the following is TRUE?A．Nearly half of the world's mails and letters are written in English.B．70 percent of the information in the world's computers is stored in English.C．English is not as old as Chinese.D．In the last one hundred years，English developed greatly.答案：D 细节判断题。

Going on holiday not o nly makes you feel good while you’re there—you gain the health benefits for months，new research shows.Jetting off to exotic destinations such as the Maldives cuts your blood pressure, helps you sleep better and bounce back from stress, it found.The benefits last at least a fortnight longer than the vacation and can be felt for months in some cases where it is claimed.Experts say workers should always take their full holiday entitlement each year—as many as one in three don’t—to get the benefits.The study compared key health markers in holidaymakers visiting Thailand, Peru or the Maldives, with people who stayed at home and continued working. The average blood pressure of those on holiday dropped by six percent while the workers saw their blood pressure rise by two percent over the same period.The sleep quality of holidaymakers improved by 17 percent while that of the non－holidaymakers deteriorated_by 14 percent.The study also found the ability of vacationers to recover from stress－known as the stress －resilience test－improved by 29 percent. There was a 71 percent fall in stress resilience scores among workers. Tests showed a fall in blood glucose levels, reducing the risk of diabetes, trimmer waistlines and enhanced mood and energy levels, with the effects sustained for at least two weeks after returning home.The Holiday Health Experiment was conducted by tour operator Kuoni and Nuffield Health, the UK’s largest he althcare charity.1. According to the passage, how many people go on holiday?A．One third. B．Two thirds.C．17 percent. D．A quarter.2. Which of the following can we infer from the passage?A．The further you go, the better the benefits.B．Most people like to stay at home during the holiday.C．Holidaymakers are more adaptable than non－holidaymakers.D．The result of the study is mostly based on the description from the people involved.3.

南通市最新高考英语阅读理解专题练习及答案一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解Thirteen vehicles lined up last March to race across the Mojave Desert, seeking a million in prize money. To win, they had to finish the 142-mile race in less than 10 hours. Teams and watchers knew there might be no winner at all, because these vehicles were missing a key part－drivers.DARPA, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, organized the race as part of a push to develop robotic vehicles for future battlefields. But the Grand Challenge, as it was called, just proved how difficult it is to get a car to speed across an unfamiliar desert without human guidance. One had its brake lock up in the starting area. Another began by throwing itself onto a wall. Another got tied up by bushes near the road after 1.9 miles.One turned upside down. One took off in entirely the wrong direction and had to be disabled by remote control. One went a little more than a mile and rushed into a fence; another managed to go for six miles but stuck on a rock. The "winner," if there was any, reached 7.8 miles before it ran into a long, narrow hole, and the front wheels caught on fire."You get a lot of respect for natural abilities of the living things," says Reinhold Behringer, who helped design two of the car-size vehicles for a company called Sci-Autonics. "Even ants (蚂蚁) can do all these tasks effortlessly. It's very hard for us to put these abilities into our machines."The robotic vehicles, though with necessary modern equipment such as advanced computers and GPS guidance, had trouble figuring out fast enough the blocks ahead that a two-year-old human recognizes immediately. Sure, that very young child, who has just only learned to walk, may not think to wipe apple juice off her face, but she already knows that when there's a cookie in the kitchen she has to climb up the table, and that when she gets to the cookie it will taste good. She is more advanced, even months old, than any machine humans have designed.（1）Watchers doubted if any of the vehicles could finish the race because_____.A. they did not have any human guidanceB. the road was not familiar to the driversC. the distance was too long for the vehiclesD. the prize money was unattractive to the drivers（2）DARPA organized the race in order to_____.A. raise money for producing more robotic vehiclesB. push the development of vehicle industryC. train more people to drive in the desertD. improve the vehicles for future wars（3）From the passage we know "robotic vehicles" are a kind of machines that _____.A. can do effortlessly whatever tasks living thing canB. can take part in a race across 142 miles with a time limitC. can show off their ability to turn themselves upside downD. can move from place to place without being driven by human beings（4）In the last paragraph, the writer implies that there is a long way to go______.A. for a robotic vehicle to finish a 142-mile race without any difficultiesB. for a little child who has just learned to walk to reach the cookie on the tableC. for a robotic vehicle to deal with a simple problem that a little child can solveD. for a little child to understand the importance of wiping apple juice off its face【答案】（1）A（2）D（3）D（4）C【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了DARPA组织一次汽车越野比赛，目的是想改进未来战场上的机器人汽车，并介绍了这些机器汽车的优点和缺点。

His mother came from a family of musicians and piano manufacturers, a fact that greatly influenced Robert’s life. His father was a physician in army, a position which required frequent foreign postings. The family stayed in various areas of East Asia for most of Robert’s youth. This experience contributed to his appreciation for cultures and mastery of several languages.Robert was a hardworking academic, collector of art and manuscripts, and translator of ancient writings. He studied and trained to become a master musician on the Chinese guqin, and eventually wrote two books on the instrument. Similarly, his skills as an artist in the traditional Chinese style and knowledge of calligraphy were unparalleled. He wrote and published a number of non-fiction, scholarly articles and books on Chinese music, art, and literature, as well as Chinese culture and folk legends.In 1940, Robert came across a little-known and anonymous (匿名的)18th-century Chinese novel that would take his career down an unplanned pathway and result in the public fame he never anticipated. The novel, titled Four Great Strange Cases of Empress Wu’s Reign, was a fictional account of the deeds of Judge Dee, one of the heroes of traditional Chinese detectivefiction, and was set in the 7th-century Tang Dynasty. Fascinated, Robert not only translated the novel into English, he also did some research on the history of Chinese Penal Code and other legal literature of the period. It was not until 1949 that Robert was able to publish his translation —Dee Goong An: Three Murder Cases Solved by Judge Dee. Robert’s Chinese mysteries comprise over 10 novels and short-story volumes, recording the career of Chinese detective called Di Renjie. Interestingly, the tales first found fame in oriental (东方的)editions, before being translated into English in 1957.Through all the novels by Robert, he impressively brings to life the sights and sounds of daily Chinese life in the past. His passionate devotion and respect for the Chinese culture was never discounted, yet he also appreciated the purpose of fiction.4．What inspired Robert’s love for oriental culture?A．His language competence.B．His previous stay in East Asia.C．His mother’s good family background.D．His father’s professional medical knowledge.5．What is paragraph 2 of the text mainly about?A．Robert’s passion for China.B．Robert’s music proficiency.C．Robert’s early achievements.D．Robert’s learning experiences.6．What contributed to Robert’s fame?A．He introduced western civilization to China.B．He polished an existing Chinese fiction style.C．He spread Chinese literature to a wider audience.D．He conducted research on famous Chinese detectives.7．Which of the following can best describe Robert’s translations?A．Vivid and faithful.B．Dramatic and realistic.C．Accurate and humorous.D．Imaginary and accessible.The Merriam-Webster dictionary puts it simply: “birdbrain: a stupid person”. Well, some birds are having the last laugh with that one.For animals, the ability to solve problems with multiple tools is a rare talent, which wasreported only in chimpanzees (大猩猩). But now, a study conducted by Osuna-Mascaró’s team adds Goffin’s cockatoos (small white parrots)to the “Dean’s List”, too.Inspired by the chimpanzees which fish for white ants via tools, the team tasked the cockatoos with fishing for a kind of nu t in three experiments. Firstly, the researchers made a box containing a nut which was covered by a transparent membrane (薄膜). Once a cockatoo broke it through with a sharp stick, the bird would need to use a straw (麦秆) to reach the nut. The birds were supplied with the two tools.Seven of the 10 cockatoos figured it out, with two completing the task within 35seconds on their first attempt! Since the cockatoos don’t have similar foraging (觅食的) requirements in the wild, there is no chance that they can adapt their tool-using strategies to the task naturally.Next, the team mixed up the boxes and randomly presented each bird with a box with the membrane or a box without. The birds were given the same two tools. As a result, all the cockatoos mastered the test quickly and were able to recognize when a single tool was sufficient and when two tools were required.However, the birds showed an interesting behavior beyond the researchers’ expectations. “When they chose between which tool to use, they were picking one up, releasing it, then picking up the other one, and so on,” says Osuna-Mascaró. “It is worthwhile to figure this out in future.”Subsequently, the researchers evaluated the birds’ transportation ability while carrying tools in different situations. Most cockatoos carried the two tools together when they were presented with a box having the membrane. “I’ve seen birds combining objects playfully, but they rarely transport more than one object together in their normal behavior,” says one biologist. “We feel that, in terms of technical cognition and tool use, birds have been underestimated. Maybe it’s time for dictionary editors to justify birds.”8．What is the common feature of the animals in the “Dean’s List”?A．Exceptional social behavior.B．The ability to recognize objects.C．Strong adaptability to the environment.D．The intelligence to use tools purposefully.9．What’s the purpose of employing membrane in the first experiment?A．To prevent the nut from falling off.B．To pose a challenge to the cockatoos.C．To increase the visual appeal of the box.D．To encourage competition among the cockatoos.10．What can we learn about the cockatoos from the second experiment?A．They can employ tools correspondingly.B．They can identify the order of the boxes.C．They can memorize the location of each nut.D．They can prioritize the boxes with the membrane.11．Which of the following is the best title for the text?A．How do Goffin’s cockatoos use tools in the wild?B．Why did we use to underestimate birds’ intelligence?C．Goffin’s cockatoos beat off chimpanzees in using toolsD．Goffin’s cockatoos break down the “birdbrain” prejudiceI read a lot of nonfiction, mostly books about current issues. The topics vary but most of the books share a common feature. When I come to the last chapter — the one where solutions are supposed to be offered — I’m usually left disappointed. Most authors fall back on “I’ve laid out the problem, you fix it.” When solutions are offered, they usually call for strong action by the government, which, these days, is useless.So I was excited when I recently read Jonathan Haidt’s new book, The Anxious Generation: How the Great Rewiring of Childhood is Causing an Epidemic of Mental Illness.Haidt, a social psychologist from New York University, shows how the play-based childhood began to decline in the 1980s, and how it was finally wiped out by the arrival of the phone-based childhood in the early 2010s. As teens traded in their flip phones (翻盖手机) for smartphones packed with social media apps, time online soared while time engaging face-to-face with friends and family dived.He presents more than a dozen mechanisms by which this great rewiring of childhood has interfered with children’s social and neurological development, covering everything from addiction to loneliness, social comparison, and perfectionism.What stands out in Haidt’s book is his commitment — along with many other educators,parents and community groups — to addressing the shortage of free play and the excess of social media. This eye-opening book is a powerful call-to-arms, offering practical advice for parents, schools, governments, and teens themselves. Solutions range from parents setting limits on their children’s use of smartphones, to groups of parents cooperating so their children won’t feel rejected by kids living in a phone-centered world.To all the local schools, parents and agencies already working to let kids be kids, I say thanks, and keep up the good work. To everyone else interested in the subject, I urge you to read Haidt’s book and check out the many resources and groups he cites. If people don’t push for change, then tech companies driven by data collection and ad revenue (收入) will continue to rule kids’ lives, rather than parents and local communities.12．Why do most books about current issues disappoint the author?A．They explore the same topic.B．They justify government actions.C．They fail to offer practical solutions.D．They lack a full review of the situation.13．The underlined part in paragraph 4 means the shift in kids’ energy and attention from ______.A．flip phones to smart onesB．the physical world to the virtual oneC．academic studies to stylish entertainmentsD．over-protected childhood to care-free adulthood14．What is the highlight of The Anxious Generation?A．It offers fresh insight into social media.B．Its content is well received by children.C．It will influence collective decision-making.D．Its author suggests ways to fix the problems.15．What does the author intend to do in the last paragraph?A．Issue a warning.B．Recommend a book.C．Express gratitude.D．Present an argument.Loving your own body is often easier said than done. Do you know that 70% of womenbetween the ages of 18-30 dislike their bodies? 16 45% say they are dissatisfied with their bodies too. There are countless ways you can work on body positivity, and you’ll have to find out what works for you.Think healthier, not skinnierWhen you’re making meals, or when you’re hitting the gym, don’t set your fitness goals according to a number you’d like to see on the scale. Exercise and a healthy diet shouldn’t be a punishment. 17 So, instead of thinking about how much your body weighs, or how it’s shaped, think about all the amazing things it can do.Surround yourself with positivityNegative messages about body image are all around us. According to one study, participants who spent more time on social media were more likely to develop a negative body image and eating disorders. 18 Look for positive people, people who practice self-love, and people who will encourage you to be who you are.Focus on the things you like about yourselfEvery time a negative thought about your body pops into your mind, counter it with something positive. Try making lists of the things you like about your body. And not just how it looks, but the things it allows you to do. 19 We naturally tend to look for our dissatisfactions and overlook the good things. To break out of that way of thinking, it will take daily repetition. Just keep at it.Stop comparing yourself to others20 One person is beautiful in one way, and the next person in some other way. And isn’t that how it should be? Imagine how boring it would be if there were only one way to be, and to feel, beautiful. Comparing yourself to others can leave you feeling like you don’t look the way you should, but you’re not supposed to look like someone else; you’re supposed to look like you. A．List it all out.B．Pick up a new hobby.C．And men aren’t much better off.D．People come in all shapes and sizes.E．So, try to cut out the negativity that you can.F．Often we project our own insecurities onto others.G．It is one way we show respect and appreciation for our bodies.二、完形填空I recently retired from twenty-three fulfilling years as a classroom teacher.

Currently,the U.S.is testing nearly 2 million people daily,and most health experts agree the country needs to be testing many more people than that.Most tests still require a nasal swab （鼻拭子）performed by a health professional,followed by processing at a laboratory.That typically means you have to wait days for the test results.For months,health experts have stressed the need for fast,widespread home testing,which allows people to screen themselves and avoid contact with others if they have an infection.With this new home test,people can "swab their nose,run the test and find out their results in as little as 20 minutes," said FDA commissioner Stephen Hahn.The test kit includes a small tool to help you to take nasal swab,or sample from inside your nose.Once you swab your nostril （鼻孔）you place the swab onto a small cartridge.This cartridge analyzes the sample and sends the results to an app on your smartphone.The app displays the results and then helps you interpret ers can also connect with a health professional through the app.Ellume's test works differently than other tests.Most tests look for the genetic material of the virus.This is the material that hakes up its genes,which influence how the virus looks and acts.However,Ellume's test looks for proteins that the virus sheds （散发）.These viral proteins are large molecules that can trigger a response from your immune system,which is the collection of cells and their responses that help the body fight off infections.Like other COVID-19 tests that look for proteins,Ellume's test still has a shall chance of errors.FDA officials say that people who get a negative result but still have coronavirus symptoms should follow up with a doctor.Although the price of the test could prevent some people from using it,Dr.Michael Mina,a professor at Harvard University in Cambridge,Massachusetts,called the new test "a great addition" to existing options.8.What is the problem with current testing in the U.S.？______A. It is not efficient enough.B. It leads to poor management.C. It based on nasal swabs.D. It results in outbreak of virus.9.What is the right procedure for home testing？______a.analyze the sample.b.send the result to an app.c.take a nasal swab.d.place the swab on a cartridge.e.interpret the result.A. cadbe.B. cdabe.C. dcbae.D. dcabe.10.What is a negative factor of the new test______A. It's unaffordable for some people.B. It has a great chance of errors.C. It's an addition to existing options.D. It causes people to get infected.11.Which of the following is a suitable title for the text______A. Smartphone apps for analysis.B. A tool for taking Nasal swab.C. More options for recovering.D. Home test for COVID-19.DThe proverb "Work is worship （热爱，崇拜）" emphasizes the importance of work in our life.It states that doing work must be the real worship of the life of every human being.Human beings are considered the most important entity （独立存在体）in this universe because we are blessed with brains and intelligence.The brain provides the power to think and understand about different things in the world.We all have some purpose in our lives and doing work helps in achieving the purpose of our lives.It is very important for all the students to understand the importance of work.This stage is very important in every person's life.The habit that is developed at this age is continued till death.If the students learn to work in this stage they continue the same in future too.For the students,real worship is not the worshiping of god but doing their studies in a sincere way.They need to do regular studies with proper concentration every day.The students who are attentive and do their work sincerely are rewarded with good marks while the lazy students who avoid doing their work suffer later in their lives.This is because there is no substitute （代替）for hard work.Hard working students grow up to became good citizens of society and the nation in future.Work teaches the students to be disciplined in their life. Every day we hear of new inventions and achievements made by the people in the world.It could not be possible if the people would not have done their work sincerely.Our history is shining bright because of the great deeds of some great personalities.This is also because of the people who considered their work as worship and performed it honestly.Such people never ran away from doing work.They would not be able to make their names shine in history without hard work.Thus,it can be stated that every success has a big struggle and dedication behind it.People who worship their work can achieve great heights in their life."Work is worship." is a popular quote to make people understand the importance of work in everyone's life.The one who understands the importance of the work does it properly without thinking of the fruit.The fruit will surely be sweet if the effort is honest.12.W hat makes us human beings outstanding in the universe？______A. The importance of work.B. The blessing of God.C. The purpose of life.D. The power of brain.13.Why does the author emphasize the importance of work to students______A. Work prepares them for the future.B. Work makes them more intelligent.C. Work offers them more substitutes.D. Work qualifies them for teaching jobs.14.Why does the author talk about inventions in Paragraph 5？______A. To make them known to the world.B. To honor those great personalities.C. To use them as supporting evidence.D. To call on students to invent things.15.What is the author's real purpose of writing the text？______A. To explain the quote "Work is worship"B. To encourage people to be hardworking,C. To teach students to be disciplined it their life.D. To analyse the reasons for those great successes.二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共12.5分）Meeting new people is a great way to broaden your horizons,expand your social circle- or swap it for a new one.Most of us are looking to make regular friends and if possible,true,soul friends.(1)Identify opportunities.We let chances to make friends pass us by every day (2) Instead of forcing a little small talk with your kindly neighbors,ask them in for a cup of tea and get to know them...You'll be surprised by how many potential friends there already are in your orbit.(3) Joining a group,club or class is an effective way to meet people.Pursue a skill you are enthusiastic about,because then you will have a good time and feel more at ease striking up a conversation.Allow yourself to be vulnerable（易受伤害的）.

体裁：记叙文话题：公共服务时间：7分钟The world of taxi drivers is dominated by men.But there is one small taxi company in Delhi，where all the drivers and passengers are female.Women's safety is a hot topic in India at the moment，so it's proving a very popular service.“When I'm o n the road driving our taxi I feel very proud，because this is the first taxi service only for women，”says 31yearold Shanti Sharma，who is one of eight female drivers with a taxi service called Cabs for Women by Women.The last couple of months，since the rape and murder in the city of a college student travelling on a bus，have been particularly busy for her and her colleagues.“After this case，our workload has increased so much，” says Sharma.“Women who used other cab services are also turning to us now.”Most women in Delhi say they routinely face harassment(骚扰)，and worse，especially on public transport.Sharma，a single parent with three daughters，has been working as a taxi driver since 2011，when the service was first set up，and it has changed her life.This is the first time that she has earned enough—about 250 a month—to support her family.Of course，she and the other female taxi drivers are completely outnum bered by male cabbies.“When I park somewhere there are always men there and inevitably five or six of them get together and hang out，” she says.“I'm usually the only woman in the parking lot，so I just stay inside the car.”It's not much better when she is out on the road.Sharma says the male drivers give her a hard time.“As soon as they see a woman at the wheel they start honking(按喇叭) for no reason.They'll try to overtake you.I'm always worrying about how to avoid getting hit by someone.”The company behind Cabs for Women by Women，Sakha Consulting Wings，had a number of goals when it set up the service.It wanted to give women from poor backgrounds an opportunity to earn money.By putting women in charge of technologies，it also wanted to change people's attitudes，and open up boundaries for women.【语篇导读】德里一家出租车公司专门推出了女性司机只为女性乘客提供服务的Cabs for Women by Women 出租车业务。
