AHere are some pet-friendly universities in the UK and US.University of IllinoisStudents are allowed up to two pets in each apartment, as well as a fish tank of no more than 50 gallons.To keep a pet, you will need to get approval from the Family & Graduate housing department at the University of Illinois. You will have to provide proof that your pet is up to date with its vaccinations(疫苗), and pay a monthly US$30 pet fee, which is non-refundable(不可退款的).Your pet can’t be left for extended periods of time, and if there’s evidence that you’ve left it alone due to vacation or illness, the university may remove it.Harvard UniversityWith as many as 12 pet-friendly apartments, Harvard is a very pet-friendly university. It allows students to have fish in a tank of no more than 50 gallons, except for Harvard’s Cronkhite Graduate Center.In Harvard’s pet-friendly apartments, you’re allowed: one cat or one dog, which can’t be over 40 pounds when fully grown. At most, two pet birds.University of British Columbia Students can take advantage of the university’s B．A．R. K program, which uses the calming power of therapy dogs to help them.B．A．R. K started at the University of British Columbia, after an assistant professor called Dr. John-Tyler Binfet noticed that he couldn’t walk across campus without students running over to play with his dog, Frances. The students told him they were homesick and missed their pets, which encouraged Binfet to establish B．A．R. K as a way of fighting their loneliness.University of OxfordThe University of Oxford is famous for its resident pets, who happily wander around college grounds. Many Oxford colleges have their own tortoise and take part in the annual Corpus Christi tortoise race.Although you are not allowed to keep your own pet as a student, several Oxford colleges hold dog petting and walking therapy sessions.1．What is one of the rules for keeping pets at the University of Illinois?A．Pet keepers should pay a monthly US$ 30 pet fee which will be returned.B．Pets can’t be left alone in the apartments due to vacation or illness.C．Students have to keep fish in a fish tank of no more than 20 gallons.D．The cat or dog can’t be over 40 pounds when fully grown.2．Why did Dr. John-Tyler Binfet start B．A．R.

B．University of Oxford.C．University of Illinois. D．University of British Columbia.BA survey by the American Psychological Association shows that one in ten adults reads online news at least once an hour. A lot has been written about the mental health influence from news addiction, and in particular from reading negative reports. Just like junk food, “junk” news can be bad for our health.In recent years, things have been getting increasingly more negative. A study of the content of New Zealand’s largest newspaper showed that while in 1973 the average number of stories about death on the front page was 0.75, by 2013 it was 4.1(and no, there weren’t five times more people dying).What’s more, online news, and the stories we read on mobile phones in particular, tend to be even more negative than print. A 2019 study of 50 U.S. newspapers showed that mobile versions of newspapers report three times more stories about disasters and accidents than paper ones.Such negative reports lead people to believe that things are worse than they really are. They can lead to stress, worry and lower spirits.Experiments also suggest that loneliness and poor relationships have been connected with reading negative reports. After reading negative reports, people are less likely to help others. Even worse, when we check news on smart phones, we may “phub” our loved ones, which leads to lower relationship satisfaction.Negative reports attract our attention far more than positive ones. That’s a global happening. I hope, however, that if we realize that negative news is spoiling our moods, we might all be more willing to change. 4．Why is “junk food” mentioned in the first paragraph?A．To entertain readers.B．To introduce the topic.C．To make an advertisement.D．To keep readers away from it.5．What can we learn about the study in Paragraph 2?A．The death rate in New Zealand is very high.B．Print newspapers have become less popular.C．Stories about death have become less popular.D．Negative reporting has been increasing over years. 6．What may negative reports lead people to do?A．Live a hopeful life.B．Become more careful.C．Become less likely to help others.D．Pay more attention to their physical health.7．What does the underlined word “phub” in Paragraph 5 mean?A．Ignore B．Hate C．Laugh at D．Care about8．Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A．A Survey on News Reading Habits B．Negative Effects of Mobile PhonesC．Is Online News Better Than Print?D．Is Junk News a Danger to Health?CThere was once a boy called Mario who loved to have lots of friends at school. However, he wasn’t sure whether or not his classmates were his true friends, so he asked his grandpa. The old man answered, “I have just exactly what you need; it’s in the attic (阁楼). Wait here for a minute.”Grandpa left, soon returning as though carrying something in his hand, but Mario could see nothing there. “Take it. It’s a very special chair. Because it’s invisible (无形的) it’s rather difficult to sit on, but if you take it to school and you manage to sit on it, you’ll be able to tell who your true friends are.”Mario took the strange invisible chair and went to school. At break time he asked everyone to form a circle, and he put himself in the middle, with his chair. “Nobody move. You’re about to see something amazing,” Mario said.Then Mario tried sitting on the chair. He missed and fell straight onto his backside. Everyone had a pretty good laugh. Mario wouldn’t be beaten. He kept trying to sit on the magic chair, and kept falling to theground... until, suddenly, he tried again and didn’t fall. This time he sat, hovering (悬停) in mid-air.Looking around, Mario saw George, Lucas, and Diana — three of his best friends — holding him up, so he wouldn’t fall. At the same time, many others he had thought of as friends were doing nothing but make fun of him, enjoying each and every fall.Leaving with his three friends, Mario explained to them how his grandpa had so cleverly thought of such a good idea. Now he knows that those who take joy in our misfortunes (不幸) when we are in difficulty are not our true friends.9．What did Mario’s grandpa take from the attic?A．An invisible chair.B．An old chair.C．A real chair.D．Nothing.10．Why did Mario’s grandpa give him the invisible chair?A．To see whether Mario could sit on it. B．To test who were Mario’s true friends.C．To let Mario have fun with his classmates.D．To test whether Mario was popular at school. 11．How was Mario able to hover in mid-air?A．He saw the invisible chair suddenly. B．He managed to sit on the chair finally.C．His friends held him up with their hands. D．His classmates gave him a chair to sit on.12．What does the story tell us?A．Never laugh at our friends. B．True friends can help us do magic.C．True friends are those who care for us. D．Having too many good friends isn’t a good thing.DSure, it’s good to get along well with your teacher because it makes the time you spend in the classroom more pleasant.And yes, it’s good to get along well with your teacher because, in general, it’s smart to learn how to get along well with the different types of people you’ll meet throughout your life.In fact, kids who get along well with their teachers not only learn more, but they’re more comfortable with asking questions and getting extra help. This makes it easier for them to understand new materials and makes them do their best on tests. When you have this kind of relationship with a teacher, he or she can be someone to turn to with problems, such as problems with learning or school issues (问题).Here is a question：What if you don’t get along with your teachers? In fact, teachers want to get along well with you and enjoy seeing you learn. But teachers and students sometimes have personality clashes (个性冲突), which can happen between any two people. If you show your teacher that you want to make the situation better, he or she will probably do everything possible to make that happen. By dealing with a problem like this, you learn something about how to get along with people who are different from you.However if a certain teacher isn’t your favorite, you can still have a successful relationship with him or her especially if you fulfill (履行) your basic responsibilities as a student.Here are some of those responsibilities (责任)：Attend class ready to learn.Be prepared for class with the right stationery, books, and completed assignments (作业).Listen when your teacher is talking.Do your best, whether it’s a classroom assignment, homework, or a test.13．According to the passage, what will happen to you when getting along well with your teachers ?A．We will have no problems with studyB．We will get a better seat in the classroomC．We will get the best scores in the examsD．We will have more pleasant time in the classroom14．What does the underlined word “that” refers to in the fourth paragraph?A．The happy time you have in the classroomB．Getting along very well with classmatesC．A better relationship between you and your teacherD．The disappearance of personality differences15．What does the passage mainly talk about?A．The importance of friendship in schools.B．The importance of a good relationship with your teachers.C．Studying skills for students.D．Useful skills to get along well with your teachers.16．As a student, what will you do if you don’t like a certain teacher ?A．You fulfill (履行) your basic responsibilities as a studentB．You are thought of as a good studentC．You know some basic social skillsD．You are easygoing and helpful第二节七选五(每小题1分，共5分，根据短文内容，选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

As the world’s greatest skateboarder, he talked about how his life was not always so miraculous (奇迹般的).He mentioned one day he was skating on top of the world, and the next day the sport of skateboarding fell right on its face. Life for Tony has had its ups and downs, and what brought him back up was the way he believed in himself. One of the most tragic events in Tony’s life was that his father passed away. Although he suffered such pain, he never lost sight of his dream. He put his energy into his dream, which helped him overcome his sadness. One part of Tony that completely impressed me is the way he accepts himself. His goal is never to do better than others, but to do his best. If he does the best he can, it doesn’t matter how anyone else takes him. That’s tr ue and wise. As for me, I play baseball and things aren’t going so well, but I am trying my hardest, that’s life. It is how you approach those bad days that will keep you on top. Confidence brought Tony to the next level. During our meeting he continually talked about the importance of following one’s dream. He also said, along with that, one needs to have a strong faith in one’s own ability to achieve that dream, no matter what challenges are presented. By the end, I didn’t see th e same guy who had walked through the door an hour earlier. Now I view him as more than a world-class skateboarder. He is also a normal person who has dealt with many of the same problems we all face, but the difference is, he is always able to rise above his problems by having faith in his dream.24. The underlined part “fell right on its face” in Para 2 means “_______”.A. finishedB. failedC. continuedD. happened25. The example of the author’s playing baseball is used to show he _______.A. accepts To ny Hawk’s suggestionB. doesn’t want to play baseball anymoreC. has the same view of life as Tony HawkD. wants to be as successful as Tony Hawk26. In the eyes of the author, what makes Tony Hawk special? His _______.A. achievementB. unusual experienceC. confidence in winning the gameD. determination to realize his dreamCPeople eat more when they are glued to the television, and the more entertaining the program is, the more they eat, according to a new research.It seems that distracted(分心的)brains do not notice what the mouth is doing, said Dr. Alan Hirsch, neurological director of the Smell and Taste Treatment and Research Foundation in Chicago.Hirsch explored the impact of smell, taste and eating behaviors while watching TV by measuring potato chip consumption. Forty-five volunteers ate as many chips as they wanted every six minutes while they watched monologues by late-night talk show hosts David Letterman and Jay Leno. They were still given chips to eat when the television was off. Hirsch found people ate an average of 44 percent more chips while watching Letterman and42 percent more while viewing Leno, than when they did not watch TV.If you concentrate on how the food tastes, you'll eat less because you'll feel full faster, "Hirsch said in an interview at the Endocrine Society's annual meeting in Toronto. So if that's the case, let's look at the opposite. What if you're distracted? If you're distracted, in theory, then you'd eat more."Through his research at the foundation, Hirsch has helped people overcome the loss of sense of smell and sense of taste. which typically results in weight gain because the brain does not know when it should stop eating.The ventromedial nucleus(腹内侧核)in the hypothalamus( 下丘脑)， where the so-called satiety(饱腹感)center is located. tells the body whether it is hungry or full. It is inhibited or tricked, the result can be changes in eating patterns, he said.People who cook spaghetti all day don't feel like eating spaghetti at the end of the day, "said Hirsch," By being exposed to a smell all day long it's tricking the hypothalamus."Volunteers were asked to concentrate on the sensory characteristics of the food such as taste and smell. Researchers say these sensory clues, in addition to inner body changes. mark satiety.But when distracted. a person does not pay attention to either the body's sensations of feeling full, or to the sensory characteristics of the food.Many studies have linked being fat to watching television and that link is likely due to inactivity, Hirsch said. But perhaps entertaining shows are also contributing."If you want to lose weight, turn off the television or watch something boring," he said.27. When Hirsch conducted the research, he______A. evaluated the degree of the volunteers' loss of taste.B. measured the amount of the chips the volunteers ate.C. analyzed the volunteers' preference on TV programs.D. counted the minutes the volunteers spent on TV programs.28. According to the research, when will you feel full faster?.A. When we are distracted.B. When we focus on how the food tastes.C. When we are watching entertaining programs.D. When the brain doesn't know when it should stop eating.29. Why does the author mention "People who cooks paghetti all day don't feel like eating it at the end of the day"?A. It tells us that eating spaghetti is inhabited.B. It indicates that spaghetti doesn't taste good at the end of the day.C. It tells us that people who cook spaghetti don' like eating spaghetti.D. It shows that smell is "telling" the hypothalamus that the body is full.30. What is the main purpose of the article?A. To prove that being fat is linked to inactivity.B. To reveal the relationship between TV programs and eating behaviors.C. to explain why watching television makes people eat more and gain weight.D. To find how sensory characteristics of the food affects people's feelings of eating.DIn the picture Landscape with Diogenes by the 17th century French artist Poussin, the ancient philosopher Diogenes is described casting away his last possession, a drinking bowl. He realizes he doesn’t need it after seeing a youth cupping a hand to drink from a river. The significance for us is that Diogenes’ spiritual descendants (后代)known as “new minimalists” are now everywhere, if not as completely possession-free as he was.There are hundreds of websites praising the virtues of tidy living. Everyone is trying to cut down on things these days. People are trying to reduce their carbon footprints, their waistlines, and their monthly outgoings. What’s more, there’s a general fear that people are becoming choked by their possessions, and this is fueled by the knowledge that the leading hobby these days seems to be shopping. It’s true, sal es of e-readers and e-books go beyond those of paperbacks. As a result, the need for bookshelves is cut out.However, today’s new minimalists don’t urge us to burn our books and destroy our CDs, but just make sure we have them as digital files. So, for example, I have digitised versions of some of my old vinyl LP (黑胶) records and haven’t, as yet, stimulated myself to take the LPs to the nearest charity shop – and I admit I shall probably go on keeping them. Technology has gone beyond our dreams and there is always the doubt that our hard drives will crash and all will be lost. Far more important, however, is the fact that our memories are so inseparably tied to our possessions that we can’t get rid of stuff. We are not exactly suffering withdrawal symptoms (症状) as we try to break our addiction to objects. We are just acquiring new stuff, which means we can bin or recycle our old stuff.I’m happy to have found another website which seems to solve a whole lot of problems at once – a thriving online advice service offering storage solutions. The interior (室内的) designer responsible for this does not suggest getting rid of stuff, but rather recommends buying more stuff such as elegant flexible baskets or colourful lidded containers to hide the first lot of stuff from view. I love this philosophy –convince yourself you’ve got your desire for possessions under control, without having to lose a thing. After all, we aren’t merciless enough to follow Diogenes and cast away all our possessions.31. Why does the author mention a picture by the artist Poussin?A. It illustrates a modern trend.B. It describes a wise philosopher.C. Its meaning is only now becoming clear.D. Its message is not as simple as it appears.32. The author believes minimalism may not succeed mainly because of people’s ______.A. resistance to media pressureB. laziness in the face of changeC. lack of faith in digital hardwareD. strong bond with physical objects33. According to the author, people invest in smart new storage in order to_____.A. satisfy their desire to make purchasesB. make attractive additions to their homesC provide a temporary solution to a problemD. ease their conscience over having too many things.34. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. Less is MoreB. Low Carbon Is an AttitudeC. Treasure What You HaveD. Psychology of Overconsumption.Section B: Choose the best choice that can be filled in each blank from the seven choices after the passage. One of the choices is redundant (多余的).The Value of TearsTears can ruin make-up, bring conversation to a stop, and give you a runny nose. Tears leave you embarrassed and without energy. Still, crying is a fact of life, and your tears are very useful. Even when you’re not cryin g, they make a film over the eye’s surface.___35___When tears fall, they reduce stress. But we tend to fight them for all sorts of reasons. “People worry about showing their emotions, afraid that once they lose control they’ll never get it back.”___36___ After we cry, the feelings that caused the tears often disappear.Sometimes people become much stressed and can’t cry. Whatever emotion they are feeling—shock, anger, fear, or sadness—is being held back.But everyone has the need to cry. Psychologist Vera Diamond explains that her treatment often consists of giving people permission to cry. ___37___Patients practice crying just to become used to expressing emotions. She suggests safe, private places to cry, like under the bedcovers or in the car. Crying is a way of reducing tension, but people don’t like it when others cry because it makes them tense.___38___ And they’ll do just about anything tomake you stop.In certain situations, such as at work, tears are not appropriate. It’s good not to cry during a tense business discussion.___39___You should also act out the whole situation again and be as noisy and angry as you like. It will help you feel better. “And,” she adds, “Once your tears have taken away the stress, you can begin to think calmly of ways to deal with the problem.”Tears are a sign of our ability to feel. If you find yourself near someone crying, deal with it. And never be afraid to cry yourself.A. They too may be holding back a need to cry.B. They cry for different reasons.C. She gives crying exercises.D It contains a chemical against infection.E. The fact is that no emotion lasts forever.F. It forms in response to the stress on the surface of the eye.G. But once you’re safely behind closed doors don’t just cry.Part IV. Grammar (1’×10)A语法填空Rose wanted a job. She went to many offices but she didn’t like any of them. One day she ____40____ (see) a board in an office reading, “This office ____41____ (need) a typist who can type 200 words a minute.” Rose was excited. She went into the manager’s office and asked, “Do you need a typist?” “Yes!” the manager said. Rose ____42____ (clap) her hands and couldn’t help saying eagerly, “OK!

In late September or early October, falling fruits as hard as baseballs threaten the skulls (头骨) of you, your children, your neighbors and those that reside next door to them. Umbrellas in the yard are a must while dining in early August, and as for me, I wear my bike helmet while working in the garden.The black walnut also releases a chemical substance through its roots as a competitive strategy. It’s poisonous to several common plants. There have been many new plant varieties tha t I brought home with hopes that maybe the black walnut would accept them, but they failed toflourish.What does work are native plants that naturally grow in the area. Native plants are important to have around since they provide beneficial pollinators (传粉者) like birds, bees and butterflies with seeds and contribute to a healthy and biodiverse environment. Native plants for this area are generally easy to grow, so they experience less stress.Have I thought of getting rid of this giant pain in my tiny backyard? Yes, however, getting rid of this tree standing at 50 feet with an 87-inch trunk is next to impossible. It’s also protected under the law. Rightfully so. Trees are important to the urban forest and for all of those that inhabit it.Sometimes I think about my life without the black walnut. I can’t imagine a spring without the birds who arrive every year and loudly sing their songs before dawn. I’d miss falling asleep on lazy weekend afternoons as I look up into its leaves.Every spring, I wonder what the season holds: What are the chances of being knocked unconscious while barbecuing? Like any good relationship, I’ll never be pleased. I’m stuck with this tree, so I’ll listen to its needs and give it the space it requires. In return, my walnut offers a habitat for wildlife and a reminder.19．Why does the author wear a bike helmet while working in the garden?A. To protect the injured skull.B. To prevent herself from sunburn.C. To avoid being hit by the nuts.D. To reduce the chance of getting bitten by bees.20．What is the tree’s survival strategy?A. It attracts beneficial pollinators.B. It lets out poison to drive away pests.C. It produces a chemical fatal to some plants.D. It competes for nutrition with similar species.21．Which of the following DOESN’T account for the author’s love-hate relationship with the tree?A. The volume of its fruits may bring inconvenience.B. The tree outcompetes the native plants in the garden.C. The tree is home to numerous birds and other creatures.D. The presence of the tree takes up much space of the garden.22．The author most probably got a reminder from the tree that ________.A. it’s better to give than to takeB. trees and plants have their own ways to flourishC. even a good relationship is not always trouble-freeD. acceptance, instead of resistance, is the better way to beCIt was raining like nothing before when Ehdaa Bujeldain, an English teacher living with her family in the mountains of Derna in eastern Libya , heard a loud noise that sounded like an explosion (爆炸). Later they learned that a dam (大坝) in Derna had broken down under the pressure of running water. For the next four days, they had no power or internet, and it was only recently that they started to fully understand of the damage caused by the floods.“Half of the city has been destroyed. My mom’s relatives, my friends, my coworkers ——they are all gone. Now we, the survivors, are just ghost s in shells,” says Bujeldain, whose sadness can be easily told from her blank expression.Five days have passed since the terrible flooding in Derna, Libya’s Red Crescent organization estimated that 11,300 people have died, while the city’s mayor believes the number of deaths could be as high as 20,000.Derna is a coastal city with a seasonal river called the Wadi Derna. Despite the abnormally heavy rain, people living near the river had little warning before the floodwaters came rushing in on that terrible morning. United Nations aid chief Martin Griffiths described the scale of the flood as “appalling” (令人惊骇的) and blamed the flood partly on sudden climate change.Now international aid teams are arriving in Derna, but they face challenges due to damaged roads, lack of access to power, water, and fuel. Tarhoni, doctor of the rescue team, warns that the most difficult weeks lie ahead. “One disaster is done and there is another to come,” he says. “The thousands and thousands of people who lost everything these people now need comfort, they need company, t hey need psychological support.”23．What do we know about Bujeldain’s family from paragraph 1?A. The explosion they heard led to the destruction of the dam.B. Bujeldain saved her family from the floods with her bravery.C. Bujeldain immediately recognized the outbreak of the floods.D. For several days, they didn’t fully realize the seriousness of the floods.24．What does Bujeldain mean by saying they are “just ghosts in shells” in paragraph 2?A. They run out of energy and are very tired.B. They feel lucky as they are safe and sound.C. They are completely saddened and shocked.D. They are sorry for the loss of their homeland.25．According to the passage, which of the following does NOT contribute to the loss of lives?A. The absence of warning.B. The extraordinary rainfall.C. Unexpected climate change.D. The damage to environment.26．What might be the main focus of international aid efforts in Derna?A. Addressing mental problems.B. Providing immediate medical care.C. Conducting climate change research.D. Rebuilding roads and access to resources.DBy the end of the century, if not sooner, the world’s oceans will be bluer and greener thanks to a warming climate, according to a new study.At the heart of the phenomenon lie tiny microorganisms (微生物) in the ocean called phytoplankton. Because of the way light reflects off the organisms, these phytoplankton create colorful patterns at the ocean surface. Ocean color varies from green to blue, depending on the type and concentration of phytoplankton. Climate change will fuel the growth of phytoplankton in some areas, while reducing it in other spots, leading to changes in the ocean’s appearance.Phytoplankton live at the ocean surface, where they pull carbon dioxide into the ocean while giving off oxygen. When these organisms die, they bury carbon in the deep ocean, an important process that helps to regulate (调控) the global climate. But phytoplankton are vulnerable to the ocean’s warming trend. Warming changes key characteristics of the ocean and can affect phytoplankton growth, since they need not only sunlight and carbon dioxide to grow, but also nutrients.Stephanie Dutkiewicz, a scientist in MIT’s Center for Global Change Science, built a climate model that projects changes to the oceans throughout the century. In a world that warms up by 3C, it found that multiple changes to the color of the oceans would occur. The model projectsthat currently blue areas with little phytoplankton could become even bluer. But in some waters, such as those of the Arctic, a warming will make conditions more suitable for phytoplankton, and these areas will turn greener. “Not only are the quantities of phytoplankton in the ocean changing.” she said, “but the type of phytoplankton is changing.”And why does that matter? Phytoplankton are the base of the food web. If certain kinds begin to disappear from the ocean, Dutkiewicz said, “it will change the type of fish that will be able to live on.” Those kinds of changes could affect the food chain.Whatever color changes the ocean experiences in the coming future will probably be too gradual and unnoticeable, but they could mean significant changes. “It’ll be a while before we can statistically show that the changes are happe ning because of climate change,” Dutkiewicz said, “but the change in the color of the ocean will be one of the early warning signals that we really have changed our planet.”27．What are the first two paragraphs mainly about?A. The cause of the changes in ocean color.B. The various patterns at the ocean surface.C. The way light reflects off marine organisms.D. The efforts to fuel the growth of phytoplankton.28．What does the underlined word “vulnerable” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A. beneficialB. sensitiveC. significantD. unnoticeable 29．What can we learn from the passage?A. Dutkiewicz’s model aims to project phytoplankton changes.B. Phytoplankton have been used to control global climate.C. Phytoplankton play a declining role in the ecosystem.D. Oceans with more phytoplankton may appear greener.30．What is the main purpose of the passage?A. To explain the effects of climate change on oceans.B. To assess the consequences of ocean color changes.C. To introduce a new method to study phytoplankton.D. To analyze the organization of the ocean food chain.The Chubby Diaries creator is part of a community of larger-bodied travelers who are showing the world that they can do anything. Following them helps because you can be like, “Oh, this place works with larger bodies.” 31 .Second plane seats and belt extendersSouthwest is one of the few airlines to offer plus-size passengers a free second seat. To ensure the extra space, Southwest recommends booking both seats beforehand, then making a request to get your money back. 32 Southwest states: “The armrest is t he definitive gauge (测量仪) for a customer of size. If you’re unable to lower both armrests, you need a second seat.” Even if your frame fits between the lowered arms, you may still need a seat-belt extender.33 .Finding size nclusive tripsFor Natalie Robinson, ziplining (压缩) in Costa Rica determined her bucket list. “Literally for the last 10 years, that’s all I talked about,” said the co-owner of Fat Girls Travel. 34 . Her fortunes changed completely on an August trip to Costa Rica, when a friend found an outfitter without weight restrictions. The guide said Robinson could dash through the rainforest as long as she could reach the starting point high in the tree tops.35When researching a trip, ask about weight restrictions as well as the availability of equipment that can accommodate your size. If you have concerns, bring your own equipment. Plus-size travelers emphasize the importance of being self-sufficient. Finding special clothes and equipment can be challenging in unfamiliar destinations.A. Pack your own equipmentB. Find supportive travel groups and tripsC. Their extra efforts are paying off as they discover how to travel comfortably andconfidentlyD. Ziplining provides much convenience for those fat girlsE. Many airlines use the armrests to determine whether a passenger requires more spaceF. Air-lines provide this extra piece of equipment free, and you can request it at the time ofboardingG. But ziplining generally has a weight limit, so she hadn’t been able to do itYou might say I found marathoning, step by step. Or perhaps it found me. I was 36 an athlete growing up. In fact, I have a hard time 37 that term to myself even today.It started when I joined a group of women in my neighborhood for a daily three-mile walk. At first it was 38 . But soon, my body adjusted and I wanted 39 . Before long, I was running 5 miles. Then I set a goal to run a half marathon. And I did complete the Covered Bridges Half Marathon. I thought, “Now what?” I started to 40 a marathon.It so happened that I 41 a meeting one night and listened to the speaker and coach, Rick Muhr, and was so 42 by his words. I told him that I had signed up for the Ocean State Marathon, just a week away, and that I really didn’t believe I could 43 . Rick locked eyes with me and said, “Trish, you’ve done enough training. You’ll finish!”I never had someone 44 me like that, let alone a real, live coach. He gave me the45 I needed. I set out to run my 46 marathon and completed it in 4:25:00. Little did I know that this would be the beginning of nearly a decade of marathon and distance running. Running a marathon isn’t for everybody. But it is for anybody, anybody who wants to47 the unreachable and to take that 48 into the rest of their life. When you cross the finish line you may never have a 49 picture of what you are made of and capable of accomplishing.

I always looked for everything. Over time, Kate got neater and I got messier. She would push my dirty clothing over, and I would lay my books on her tidy desk. We both got tired of each other.War broke out one evening. Kate came into the room. Soon, I heard her screaming, “Take your shoes away! Why under my bed!” Deafened, I saw my shoes flying at me. I jumped to my feet and started yelling. She yelled back louder.The room was filled with anger. We could not have stayed together for a single minute but fora phone call. Kate answered it. From her end of the conversation, I could tell right away her grandma was seriously ill. When she hung up, she quickly crawled (爬) under her covers, sobbing (抽泣).Obviously, that was something she should not go through alone. All of a sudden, a warm feeling of sympathy (同情) rose up in my heart.Slowly, I collected the pencils, took back the books, made my bed, cleaned the socks and swept the floor, even on her side. I got so into my work that I even didn’t notice Kate had sat up.She was watching, her tears dried and her expression one of disbelief (不相信). Then, she reached out her hands to grasp mine. I looked up into her eyes. She smiled at me. “Thanks.”Kate and I stayed roommates for the rest of the year. We didn’t always agree, but we learned the key to living together: giving in, cleaning up and holding on.4. What made Kate angry one evening?A. She couldn’t find her books.B. She saw the author’s shoes beneath her bed.C. She got the news that her grandma was ill.D. She heard the author shouting loud.5. Why did the author tidy up the room?A.

My Friend KateB. Learning to Be RoommatesC. How to Be OrganizedD. Hard Work Pays OffCIn today’s fast-paced world, people are constantly seeking ways to improve their well-being (幸福感). Two prominent aspects that have gained significant attention are sports and travelling, both of which are deeply related to fitness and personal growth.Sports play a crucial role in our lives. They are not just about winning or losing; they are about building strength. Whether it’s the powerlifting that requires immense physical might or the endurance (耐力) needed in long-distance running, sports determine our physical capabilities (体能). Different sports demand various skills and levels of fitness. For example, in team sports like soccer, players need to have both individual strength and the ability to work with teammates. This combination helps in developing a holistic sense of fitness.Travelling, too, has a unique connection with fitness. When we travel, especially when we venture (冒险) into the great outdoors during hikes or explore new cities on foot, we are engaging in physical activities that contribute to our well-being. It’s not just about seeing new places; it’s about the journey itself. The physical exertion (体力) during travel can enhance our strength and endurance. For instance, climbing a mountain during a trek (长途艰苦旅行) can be a challenging yet rewarding (有益的) fitness experience.Moreover, we can apply the lessons learned from sports and travel to our daily lives. The discipline (纪律) weacquire from regular sports training and the adaptability we gain from dealing with different travel situations can help us face other challenges with more confidence.8. What are the two main elements discussed in relation to fitness in the text?A. Sports and diet.B. Sports and travelling.C. Travelling and reading.D. Diet and reading.9. According to the passage, what does sports help to build?A. Only teamwork skills.B. Just winning spirit.C. Interest in art.D. Strength and determine physical capabilities.10. How is travelling related to fitness according to the article?A. By just relaxing.B. By eating local food.C. Through physical activities during the journey.D. By sleeping in different places.11. What can we apply from sports and travel to our daily lives?A. Laziness and carelessness.B. Discipline and adaptability.C. Fear and anxiety.D. Greed and envy.DTeenagers’ fitness is now a major concern, to which physical exercise is very important. It reduces stress and improves fitness. Exercise makes your body strong, and helps you to keep the right body weight. Sports scientist Dr. Helen Lopez offers the following advice to teenagers: “First, you need to find out your present level of fitness. Then you can design a programme that will help you become healthier.”Dr. Lopez points out that there are three levels of fitness that need a change of lifestyle. “Overweight” means that the person gets very little exercise and often has a serious weight problem. “Inactive” means that the person does not join in many physical activities, but is not seriously overweight. “Active” refers to people who take part in sports and other physical activities, but do not have a high fitness level.According to Dr. Lopez, overweight teenagers should keep active to keep healthy. “Ride a bike, play volleyball or basketball for a while, and go for a twenty-minute walk each day. All these will help to burn calories.” Inactive teenagers should do similar activities, but add some bending and stretching exercises, such as push-ups and sit-ups, starting with twenty of each a day. “Inactive people can take a little more exercise than overweight people because their bodies are stronger,” said Dr. Lopez. The same principle (规则) applies to active teenagers.Dr. Lopez suggests one hour a week or more on running and other forms of intensive (高强度) exercise, together with fifteen minutes a day spent on stretching and bending activities. “These are really important in order to prevent injuries,” Dr. Lopez said. Some weight-training and other body-strengthening exercises could also be planned in the programme in order to increase the person’s strength.12. Which of the following statements is NOT the reason why physical exercise is important?A. It can increase teenagers’ strength.B. It can help teenagers become healthier.C. It can help to burn up calories.D. It can make the teenagers grow taller.13. What can we learn from the passage?A. Active people always have a high fitness level.B. Overweight people always take more exercise.C. Inactive teenagers are not seriously overweight.D. Keeping fit means changing teenagers’ lifestyle.14. In order to prevent injuries, you should do some ________ exercises.A. stretching and bendingB. walkingC. RidingD. weight-training15. What is the best title for the passage?A. Doing exercisesB. Teenagers’ FitnessC. Different LifestylesD. Overweight Teenagers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。

ASharon, Aged 22The most important thing to keep in mind when going into high school is to be yourself. Besides, I don't know what your middle school was like, but high school teachers will not care about things such as how much homework you already have in one night. It's best to just learn to deal with things and manage your time wisely so you can achieve everything you need to.Frank, Aged 21I think almost every kid feels both nervous and excited before their first day. You will probably love it. I know I did. You should join some sports or activities that will make your high school experience more enjoyable. Good luck!Eddie, Aged 20When I started high school I was really nervous too, especially since I had been homeschooled all through middle school and didn't really know anyone. I suppose the best advice would be to just relax. The first couple of days can be a little bit hard, but things will become easier before you know it.David, Aged 19I'm not going to lie. The first day is kind of frightening (令人恐惊的). But you'll get used to it. Don't be afraid of anyone; upperclassmen will pick on you more if you let them know you're afraid. Just take it easy. Making some friends and staying with them will greatly help you get used to high school quickly. After the first week it's really not bad at all. Don't worry.21. What can we infer from Sharon about high school?A. Teachers are quite strict.B. Students often stay up at night.C. Teachers provide little care for students.D. Students should make good use of their time.22. How did Eddie feel on his first day of high school?A. Excited.B. Bored.C. Worried.D. Relaxed.23. Who mentions the importance of friends?A. Frank.B. David.C. Sharon.D. Eddie.BI think a close friend is someone you get on really well with, who helps you when you have problems, who gives you advice, and who alwa ys has time for you. I didn’t use to have many close friends when I was at school or at university as I was very shy, but now I have several. They are all women —I think it’s difficult to have a close friend of the opposite sex (异性).— MarieI don’t reall y have any close friends. I know a lot of people but mainly through work, and the kind of social occasions (场合) when we meet are business dinners and evening parties. I think if you come from a really close family, then friends are a bit unnecessary. The little free time I have I prefer to spend with my family.— RichardI think a close friend is someone who you’ve known for a long time, and who you still get on with. They probably have similar hobbies to you so you can do things together. I’ve got three cl ose friends who I was at high school with and we oftengo away together (without our parents of course). We always go camping and somewhere we can go walking, play football and be outside in the open air.— David For me close friends are the people you spend your free time with. I go out at weekends with a group of people —there are about seven of us, and I’d say we are all close friends. We also live near each other. I don’t think you can have close friends at a distance (在远处); you need to be able to see each other often. But I don’t think you need to be doing the same things. I mean I’m at university but none of my friends are.— Ana24. What does Richard say about friends?A. It’s hard to make friends at work.B. They’re less important than family.C. Friends need to have a lot in common.D. Women and men can’t be close friends.25. What does David enjoy?A. Physical activity.B. Parent-child camp.C. Going to evening parties.D. Playing out in the open alone.26. What do we know about Ana’s frie nds?A. They are college students.B. They are doing the same things.C. They don’t live far away.D. They don’t see each other often.27. Who has more friends now than before?A. Ana.B. David.C. Richard.D. Marie.CWhat a day! I started at my new school this morning and had the best time. I made lots of new friends and really liked my teachers. I was nervous the night before,but I had no reason to be. Everyone was so friendly and polite. They made me feel at ease. It was like I’d been at the school for a hundred years!The day started very early at 7:00 am. I had my breakfast downstairs with my mom. She could tell that I was very nervous. Mom kept asking me what was wrong. She told me I had nothing to worry about and that everyone was goin g to love me. If they didn’t love me, Mom said to send them her way for a good talking to. I couldn’t stop laughing.My mom dropped me off at the school gates about five minutes before the bell.A little blonde (金发的) girl got dropped off at the same time and started waving (招手) at me. She ran over and told me her name was Abigail. She was very nice and we became close straight away. We spent all morning together and began to talk to another girl called Stacey. The three of us sat together in class all day and we even made our way home together! It went so quickly. Our teacher told us that tomorrow we would really start learning and developing new skills.I cannot wait until tomorrow and feel as though I am really going to enjoy my time at my new school. I only hope that my new friends feel the same way too.28. How did the author feel the night before her new school?A. Tired.B. Excited.C. Worried.D. Relaxed.29. What did the author think of her mother’s advice?A. Clear.B. Funny.C. Reasonable.D. Excellent.30. What happened on the author’s first day of school?A. She met many nice people.B. She had a hurried breakfast.C. She learned some new skills.D. She arrived at school very early.31. What can we infer about Abigail?A. She disliked Stacey.B. She was shy and quiet.C. She got on well with the author.D. She was an old friend of the author.DTwo hundred years ago, American students went to American schools. Like you, they studied math, spelling and geography. Unlike you, they also studied Greek (希腊语) and Latin (拉丁语). In fact, students spent more than half their time studying Greek and Latin.The same was true for most students in Europe. Until the seventh century, all educated Europeans knew Latin. It did not matter if they lived in England, Italy, France or Spain. If they were educated, they knew Latin.During the seventh century, educated Europeans began to study Greek as well as Latin. Greek and Latin had been the leading languages of the ancient Greeks and Romans. All educated Europeans were expected to know these languages.To educated Europeans, the languages of the Greeks and the Romans were important. The ideas of the Greeks and Romans were also important. People knew that many of their own ideas had come from the Greeks and the Romans. To understand their own culture, they must understand its origin (起源). They knew that those beginnings lay in the classical (古典文学的) world.Today we have so many things to study that few people have time to learn Greek and Latin. Few of you will study either language in school. Yet the ideas of the Greeks and the Romans are still important to us. These ideas still help to shape Western culture today. To understand our own culture, we must understand the culture of the classical world.32. Two hundred years ago, in American schools _____.A. there were many educated GreeksB. Greek and Latin were very popularC. students paid little attention to mathD. students knew little about geography33. According to the text, Europeans thought _____.A. the origin of their culture was unknownB. the ideas of the Greeks were unacceptableC. Greek was much more important than LatinD. the Romans had a great influence on their culture34. Where does the author of the text probably come from?A. Japan.B. Greece.C. America.D. China.35. In the last paragraph, the author suggests that _____.A. it’s of great value to learn Greek and LatinB. it’s quite difficult to learn Greek and LatinC. the culture of the classical world is useless nowadaysD. Western culture is quite different from Greek and Roman cultures其次节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）依据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

No matter what event she attended, a list squad (小队)--which included famous people like Selena Gomez, Zen d and God Ha did -- would be right by her side.But now Swift wants fans to know that her friendships weren't as perfect as she tried to make people believe. In fact, she says she was using her friend group to hide her insecurity(不实全) of feeling “'uncool" and “unpopular". Swift says she went out of her way to show off her squad because she didn't have many friends when she was younger --a memory that still bothered her years later. “Never being popular as a kid was always an insecurity for me,” she says.When she became famous, Swift became obsessed (沉迷) with showing off her popularity. “In my twenties, l found myself surrounded by girls who wanted to be my friends." Swift explains. “So I celebrated my newfound acceptance into a sisterhood." But by constantly putting her friends on display, Swift failed to consider how bad her fans might feel about themselves because they didn’t have a squad like hers. “'I didn't realize that other people might still feel the way I did when I felt so alone," she says.As she became older and more confident in herself, Swift started focusing on the quality of her friends, not the quantity (数量). She says she finally understands that the size of her group doesn‘t mean how “cool" she is. To her, it's much more important to have a few friends who can be trusted rather than a large group of “fair-weather“ friends.While Swift still values her friends she has in her life, she no longer feels the pressure to show off them for the sake of impressing others. “For too long, the opinions of strangers affected how l viewed things, But now I learn not to let outside opinions affect my own life choices.”4. What made Swift show off her list squad?A. The popularity of her friends.B. Her childhood experience.C. The support of her fans.D. Her strong social influence.5. What does paragraph 4 intend to tell us?A. We should make real friends.B. It is important to trust our friendsC, Our friends can affect our behavior.D. There are many ways of making friends.6. What does the underlined word “sake” probably mean in the last paragraph?A. Request.B. Advice.C. Method.D. Purpose.7. From which is the text probably taken?A. A scientific report.C. A travel magazine.B. A social newspaper.D. A movie poster.CWe can learn to be happy but only get lasting benefits if we keep practicing, a new study has revealed.The team behind the University of Bristol's Science of Happiness course had already discovered that teaching students the latest scientific studies on happiness markedly improved their well-being. However, their latest study found that these well-being boosts are short-lived unless the evidence-informed habits learned in the course -- such as gratitude, exercise, or run -- are kept up over the long term.Senior author Professor Bruce Hood said, “It's like going to the gym - we can't expect to do one class and be fit forever, Just as with physical health, we have to continuously work on our mental health；otherwise, the improvements will be temporary.Launched in 2018, the University of Bristol's Science of Happiness course was the first of its kind in the Uk. It involves no exams or coursework and teaches students what the latest peer-reviewed studies in psychology and neuroscience say really makes us happy. Students who took the course reported a 10% to 15% improvement in well-being. However, only those who continued implementing the course learning maintained that improved well-being when they were surveyed again two years later.Professor Hood said, “This study shows that just doing a course is just the start, You must commit to using what you learn on a regular basis. Much of what we teach revolves around positive psychological interventions that take your attention from yourself by helping others being withfriends, or being grateful. This is the opposite of the current 'self-care’ doctrine (学说), but countless studies have shown that getting out of our own heads helps get us away from negative thoughts, which can be the basis of so many mental health problems.8.What does the study find about happiness?A. Happiness can be learned, but we have to work at it.B. Financial success does not produce lasting happiness.C. Happiness is the ability to make the most of what we have.D. Trying too hard to find happiness may have the opposite effect.9. What can we learn from Professor Hood's words?A. Leaming has got to be active and experiential.B. Mental health is as important as physical health.C, Maintaining happiness requires continuous effort.D, Exercise is the best way to keep a healthy lifestyle.10.What words can best describe the course?B. Pioneering and useful.A. Long and complex.D. Interesting and educational.C. Cheap and professional.11. How can we improve mental health according to the last paragraph?B. By focusing on ourselves.A. By interacting with others.D. By avoiding negative friendsC. By learning a new course.DIn the coming decade, space agencies and private space companies like SpaceX are planning to build a base on the Moon and Mars. While scientists are already building rockets for the journey, for long-term human settlements on them, astronauts will need fuel to carry out daily tasks. Many have suggested hydrogen (氢). But a group of scientists is working on turning CO2 in the atmosphere into jet fuel. As Mars is rich in CO2 and the lunar surface has a high concentration of CO2, it may be a feasible solution.For now the team of' scientists at the University of Oxford is focusing on making jet fuel for the aviation (航空) industry, As the aviation industry releases over 900 million tons of CO2 every year to battle climate change, it is necessary to tun the tide, So far aviation scientists have tried to use other energy resources like electricity to fly, But such flights are limited to short distances. For long-distance fights, there is no alternative yet,The concept of turning CO2 into jet fuel is not new, Previously, other similar methods had to rely on expensive catalysts (催化剂) like cobalt to speed up the chemical reaction. But what Oxfordscientists suggest is adding a cheap iron-based catalyst and hydrogen to turn CO2 into liquid fuel. As the process would not require using fossil fuel, it will make the industry carbon neutral (碳中和的)The scientists tested the new catalyst in a lab at 300'C and at 10 times the air pressure at sea level. The entire process took 20 hours and turned 38 percent of CO2 into new chemicals. About 48percent of the chemicals were jet fuel hydrocarbon and the rest were other by-products that are used in the production of plastic.Professor Peter Edwards, a lead scientist in the project, said the new method could be improved in two to three years to produce jet fuel in large quantities. “This is a really exciting, potentially revolutionary advance. Our vision is that the world can see that CO2 collected can be used as an energy carrier to enable sustainable aviation ”12. Which word can best explain “feasible” underlined in paragraph 1?A. Unique.B. Practical.C. Time-tested.D. Quick13. What problem does the aviation industry face?A. It is suffering from a serious fuel shortage.B. The traditional jet fuel is much too expensive,C. Climate change partly disturbs long-distance flights.D. Its alternative energy resources are not powerful enough.14. What do we know about the Oxford scientists’ method of fuel-making?A. It is green and cost-saving.B. It is complex and time-consumingC. It runs tests in natural environment.D. It starts with immediate chemical reaction.15. What's the purpose of the author?A. To attract people to explore the space.B. To inform us of a breakthrough in fuel research.C. To warn us the dangers of climate change.D. To encourage us to work in the aviation industry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。
