But not all schools are fashion deserts. Colorful sports shoes, school bags, T-shirts and even drink containers are breathing life into campuses."The uniform makes us look like a bunch of clones, especially when we are doing morning exercises on the playground," said Qing Pei, a Senior 2 from Shanghai Qibao High School. "But the boys wear different sports shoes and girls have different decorations in their hair. These are the areas where you can express yourself," said Qing.Although it might be strange for boys to talk about fashion, they do care about what they wear in school, especially shoes, according to Qing. "Nike and Adidas basketball shoes, although they are still the must-have items for many of my friends, are becoming out-of-date," Qing added. He explained that "Since some famous athletes like Liu Xiang,Subingtian etc. ran so fast in running competitions, running shoes are becoming popular these years. ""Still in fashion are the various baseball caps and American-style T-shirts with random English words printed on them," said Qing. "The accuracy of the written message is not important. Often, the words are not spelt correctly. Sometimes they do not even make sense, "Qing said with a smile.Besides sports shoes and T-shirts, styles and colors of school bags are another opportunity for students to express their taste in fashion. Some bags are made more eye-catching by decorating them with small hanging dolls.Other fashionable items are the colorful drink containers which are now popular among girls this term."Some teachers are surprised to see a teenager sucking a bottle like this atschool and criticize it as a childish regression (退化). But some girls just love it," said Yang Rui, a Senior 3. from High School attached to Xi’an Jiaotong University.4.Which is NOT the way girls show their personality in school?A.They wear different sports shoes and T-shirts.B.They take stylish and colorful school bags.C.They have different decorations in their hair.D.They always bring special drinks with them.5.According to Qing Pei, what can be inferred on why students dislike wearing uniforms in school?A.They ma y look similar to each other so that they can’t show their own personalitiesB.They want to become fashionable and be a film star in the future.C.The uniforms are of bad quality and can’t keep warm in Autumn and winter.D.They were forbidden to wear other clothes by their parents.6.What does the underlined word “make sense” in paragraph 5 mean ______.A.misunderstand somethingB.have reasonable meaningsC.have some special feelingsD.be suitable for teenagers to wear7.Which conclusion of the following is WRONG?A.Students also like to follow fashion trends.B.Students nowadays like to be more individual.C.Teachers in school think students behavior are absolutely understandable .D.Students don’t care much whether the words printed on caps or T-shirts are right or not.CCan you imagine what 680,000 tons of food look like? That's the amount of food wasted in Britain in the year 2024 to 2024, and at the top of the list of wasted food is bread. In the British diet, bread appears in every meal. It is eaten for breakfast, used for sandwiches for lunch and put in soups at dinner. Almost everyone in Britain buys bread.Bread is so important to the British that they use the word “bread” to mean “money” and the word “loaf”to mean “head”. So let's use our “loaves” to understand why so much “bread” is wasted!Even though bread is still sold in such a popular way and in such a large amount, that doesn't mean it's made full use of. It seems people are simply buying much more than they need, so they throw away the bread that they don't need. Baker Chris Young explains that the British aren't valuing their bread because bread is no longer respected. “None of the bread that is thrown away is ‘real’ bread—homemade or carefully made bread, but is bought from thebread shop.”Another baker Mark Boyle agrees. “If you make something by yourself, you don't want to waste it because you know how much energy you've put into it. But although home baking is a nice idea, for many it's out of their ability because they have to work such long hours every day that they don't have time to make bread by themselves at home. So they simply buy bread and just bring it home to eat.”Perhaps the British should try to bake bread by themselves, which can probably make their dustbins lighter.8.What can we infer from the passage?A.Bread plays an important part in British diet.B.Different British people like different foods.C.Bread will become less popular in Britain.D.Bread is the favorite food for the British.9.If a British boss says to his workers “Please bring your loaves here,” he ________.A.wants his workers to eat healthilyB.advises his workers to buy more breadC.asks his workers to work more cleverlyD.promises to give his workers more money10.Mark Boyle believes that the British throw away much bread mainly because ________.A.they are tired of eating breadB.they are too rich to value breadC.they don't like the taste of breadD.they don't put any energy into making bread11.Many British people fail to make bread by themselves at home because ________.A.they are very busyB.they don't earn much moneyC.they become lazier than beforeD.they don't know how to bake breadDTablets are useful devices, but their big screens always make them as a burden to carry around without a bag. Wouldn’t it be great if there were a phone with the powers of a tablet that could be folded up and fit neatly into the hand? Now something like a tablet-shaped but foldable(可折叠的) phone is about to become available. In February, Samsung and Huawei both introduced foldable phones, the Galaxy Fold and Huawei Mate X separately, to the public for the first time. Mobile phone use has entered the “foldable future”, the Verge noted.The technology could change our lives in significant ways. These devices, due to their bendable screens, give us the larger screens we want but still fit easily into the pocket. The technology could change other devices too. For example, we could make TVs that stick to walls like posters, or fold up easily to hide away in drawers, which could help increase available space to the maximum. In a keynote address, Justin Denison, Samsung’s senior vice president, called the foldable screen “the basisfor the smartphone of tomorrow”. “It’s a blank canvas (画布) for us to do something beautiful together,” he said.So is there nothing to stand in the way of the foldable future? According to tech news website Android Authority, the necessary displays were difficult to produce. In 2012, nine out of ten foldable screens produced were defective or unusable. Today, that 10 percent rate has been improved to almost 90 percent. However, at present these foldable devices are expensive. For example, the price of Huawei Mate X is 17, 500 RMB. That's a price that few people will be able to afford.But if the foldable device isn’t going to change the world overnight, there is no doubt that it is coming. Patrick Moorhea d, an industry expert told The Verge, “Few are debating if foldable mobile displays are the future of smartphones; the only question is when and by whom.”12. What do we know about foldable devices?A. They are too big to fit into the pocket.B. They could bring us much convenience.C. They have become available in January.D. They are a burden to carry around without a bag.13. What can we learn from Denison’s words?A. The foldable screen has great potential.B. The technology could change other devices too.C. There must be many problems with the technology.D. The production of foldable phones will soon decrease.14. What does the underlined word in Paragraph 3 mean?A. criticalB. negativeC. imperfectD. abnormal15. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Types of foldable phones.B. The coming of foldable devices.C. Popular devices on the market.D. Difficulties in producing foldable phones.二、七选五依据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

It is a treasure we should protect. Unfortunately, the better friends you are, the (44)________ (probable) you’ll have disagreements. And the result can be what you don’t want— an end to the relationship.The good news is (45)_________ most troubled friendships can be mended. First, don’t let your pride get in your way. Most of us can forgive each other when differences are brought out in the open. Second, (46)_________(apologize) when you’re wrong --– (47)______ _____ you’ve been wronged. Over the course of a friendship, even the best people make mistakes. Sometimes, it may be best if the wronged person takes the lead and apologizes.

And finally, accept that friendships change as our needs and lifestyle change. Making friends can sometimes seem easy. The hard part is keeping the connections strong during the natural ups and downs that have an effect on all relationships. My suggestion: Consider friendship (48)_________ honor and a gift, and worth the effort to treasure and nurture (培养).(B)Fear (49)__________ be felt in the heart as well as in the head, according to a study that has found a link between the cycles of a beating heart and the chance of someone feeling fear.Tests on healthy volunteers found that they were more likely to feel a sense of fear at the moment when their hearts are contracting(收缩)and pumping blood around their bodies, compared with the point (50)________ the heartbeat is relaxed. Scientists say the results suggested that the heart is able to influence (51)___________ the brain responds to a fearful event, depending on which point it is at in its regular cycle of contraction and relaxation.Sarah Garfinkel at the Brighton and Sussex Medical School said, “Our study show for the first time that the way (52)___________ we deal with fear is different, depending on when we see fearful pictures inrelation to our heart.The study tested 20 healthy volunteers on their reactions to fear as they were shown pictures of fearful faces. Dr. Garfinkel said, “The study showed that fearful faces are better noticed when the heart is pumping (53)_________ when it is relaxed. Thus our hearts can also affect what we see and what we don’t see —and guide whether we see fear.”(54)_________ (understand) this relationship further, the scientists also used a brain scanner to show how the brain influences the way the heart changes a person’s feeling of fear. “So far we (55)___________(find) an important mechanism by which the heart and brain ‘speak’ to each other to change our feelings and reduce fear” Dr. Garfinkel said. “We hope that by increasing our understanding about h ow fear is dealt with and ways that it could be reduced, we may be able to develop more successful treatments for anxiety, disorders, and also for (56)__________ who are suffering from serious stress disorder.”Section CDirections:Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.Walking, if you do it vigorously enough, is the overall best exercise for regular physical activity. It requires no equipment, everyone knows how to do it and it carries the 57 risk of injury. The human body is designed to walk. You can walk in parks or along a river or in your neighborhood. To get 58 benefit from walking, aim for 45 minutes a day, an average of five days a week.Strength training is another important 59 of physical activity. Its purpose is to build and 60 bone and muscle mass, both of which shrink with age. In general, you will want to do strength training two or three days a week, 61 recovery days between sessions.Finally, flexibility and balance training are 62 important as the body ages. Aches and pains are high on the list of complaints in old age. The result of constant muscle tension and stiffness of joints, many of them are 63 , and simple flexibility training can 64 these by making muscles stronger and keeping joints lubricated (润滑). Some of this you do whenever you stretch. If you watch dogs and cats, you’ll get an idea of how natural it is. The general 65 is simple: whenever the body has been in one position for a while, it is good to 66 stretch it in an opposite position.III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.The responsibilities of job, home and family all too often transform the daily routine into a huge burden. Enjoying quality leisure time becomes 67 .True leisure means engaging in a 68 and rewarding activity without being 69 by other aspects of your life. Sometimes, the 70 you experience during the week make you place great emphasis on weekends and other days off. You hope to relax, but the stress is71 . You can't rest even when you have the time to do so. When time is limited, leisure activities are usually the first items to 72 from the daily schedule.If you routinely 73 your leisure time because you have "more important things to do," you may be underestimating how much time the things 74 take. Most people routinely shortchange themselves on the amount of time required to complete a given task. The problem is a 75 to evaluate performance honestly.76 , simplifying your life will let you have more windows of opportunity to do stuff just for fun. Maybe you need to relearn to relax.Spare Time for Your 77 : Devote one afternoon or evening per week 78 to doing something that you enjoy, listening to music, assembling a jigsaw puzzle. Do whatever you always wish to but never seem to find time for. And do it where there's nothing to remind you of other 79 .Choose Low-Tech: The popular fascination with technological advances in all areas of life has diverted(偏离) attention from the simple pleasures of many 80 pastimes.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Here is one of the world’s largest indoor ski-slopes. It covers an area of 22,500m2, about the same size as three football fields, and the temperature is a constant -1℃to -2℃. However, the strangest thing about this place is that it’s in the middle of the desert! It’s called Ski Dubai and the outside temperature s can rise to more than 40℃!It sounds crazy, but it just shows how serious people are about having fun. We spend huge sums on sports facilities. We pay our sports stars ridiculous amounts of money. And we spend hour after hour playing games! I wonder if all the sports - lovers and game - players in the worldaren’t a little crazy. I know I am. I was once driving past a football field where some kids were playing. I turned to watch and crashed my car. I know it’s stupid but I can do nothing about it. As someone said, “Football isn’t a matter of life and death. It’s much more important than that!”Of course, it isn’t that important really. No game is. But the problem is that games are addictive. From the tennis court to the golf course, you’ll find participants and spectators who can’t live without the drug of their choice. It could be a good thing. After all, despite being addictive, it’s true that sports and games help us to relax. Maybe if it wasn’t for sport, our societies would be more violent. Perhaps sport is a substitute for war? It’s hard to think of a quieter, more peaceful game than chess, and what’s the objective? Capturing your o pponent’s king, a nd surely, it’s better to have wars in athletics stadiums rather than on battlefields.What’s more, playing is natural. Kittens chase balls of wool and puppies pretend to fight. Games help us perfect ours kills and prepare us for the serious contest of survival.But do all games help us relax and stay away from violence? What about computer games? A recent article in New Scientist suggest s that playing violent video games (and most of them are extremely violent) makes people more aggressive and more likely to commit violent crimes.Are these games a rehearsal for life or a substitute for life? Do we play instead of facing up to our real problems? I don’t know. But what Ido know is that I need a break, something to help me relax. Skiing would be nice. I wonder how much it costs to get to Dubai?82. According to the author, the most surprising thing about Ski Dubai is its _____.A. slopesB. sizeC. locationD. facilities83. The expression “the drug of their choice” in the 3rd par agraph refers to _____.A. the game they are keen onB. the medicine they takeC. the activity good for healthD. the sport in place of war84. Which of the following statements does the author most probably agree with?A. Sports stars should be paid more to play well.B. Sports are more important than life and death.C. Chess is too peaceful to be considered a sport.D. Games can make one relaxed as well as violent.85. What does the author mainly talk about in the passage ?A. The relationship between games and crimes .B. Human natural craze for having fun with games.C. Serious concerns about time that is spent on games.D. Real problems facing game players in everyday life.(B)Across the rich world, well-educated people increasingly work longer than the less-skilled. Some 65% of American men aged 62-74 with a professional degree are in the workforce, compared with 32% of men with only a high-school certificate. This gap is part of a deepening divide between the well-education well off and the unskilled poor. Rapid technological advance has raised the incomes of the highly skilled while squeezing those of the unskilled. The consequences, for individual and society, are profound.The world is facing as astonishing rise in the number of old people, and they will live longer than ever before. Over the next 20 years the global population of those aged 65 or more will almost double, from 600 million to 1.1 billion. The experience of the 20th century, when greater longevity (长寿)translated into more years in retirement rather than more years at work, has persuaded many observers that this shift will lead to slower economic growth, while the swelling ranks of pensioners will create government budget problems.But the notion of a sharp division between the working young and the idle old misses a new trend, the growing gap between the skilled and the unskilled. Employment rates are falling among younger unskilled people, whereas older skilled folk are working longer. The divide is most extreme in America, where well-educated baby-boomers are putting off retirement while many less-skilled younger people have dropped out of theworkforce.That even the better-off must work longer to have a comfortable retirement. But the changing nature of work also plays a big role. Pay has risen sharply for the highly educated, and those people continue to reap rich rewards into old age because these days the educated elderly are more productive than the preceding generation. Technological change may well reinforce that shift: the skills that complement computers, from management knowhow to creativity. Do not necessarily decline with age.86、what is happening in the workforce in rich countries?A. younger people are replacing the elderlyB. well-educated people tend to work longerC. unemployment rates are rising year after yearD. people with no college degree do not easily find work87、what do many observers predict in view of the experience of the 20th century?A. Economic growth will slow down.B. Government budgets will increase.C. More people will try to pursue higher educationD. There will be more competition in the job market.88、What is the result of policy changes in European countries?A. Unskilled workers may choose to retire early.B. more people have to receive in-service training.C. Even wealthy people must work longer to live comfortably in retirement.D. People may be able to enjoy generous defined-benefits from pension plans.89、What is characteristic of work in the 21st century?A. Computers will do more complicated work.B. More will be taken by the educated young.C. Most jobs to be done will be creative ones.D. Skills are highly valued regardless of age.(C)At the heart of the debate over illegal immigration lies one key question: are immigrants goodor bad for the economy? The American public overwhelmingly thinks they're bad. Yet the consensus among most economists is that immigration, both legal and illegal, provides a small net boost to the economy. Immigrants provide cheap labor, lower the prices of everything from farm produce to new homes, and leave consumers with a little more money in their pockets. So why is there such a discrepancy between the perception of immigrants' impact on the economy and the reality?There are a number of familiar theories. Some argue that people are anxious and feel threatened by an inflow of new workers. Others highlight the strain that undocumented immigrants place on public services, like schools, hospitals, and jails. Still others emphasize the role of race, arguing that foreigners add to the nation's fears and insecurities. There's some truth to all these explanations, but they aren't quite sufficient.To get a better understanding of what's going on, consider the way immigration's impact is felt. Though its overall effect may be positive, its costs and benefits are distributed unevenly. David Card, an economist at UC Berkeley, notes that the ones who profit most directly from immigrants' low-cost labor are businesses and employers – meatpacking plants in Nebraska, for instance, or agricultural businesses in California. Granted, these producers' savings probably translate into lower prices at the grocery store, but how many consumers make that mental connection at the checkout counter? As for the drawbacks of illegal immigration, these, too, are concentrated. Native low-skilled workers suffer most from the competition of foreign labor. According to a study by George Borjas, a Harvard economist, immigration reduced the wages of Americanhigh-school dropouts by 9% between 1980-2000.Among high-skilled, better-educated employees, however, opposition was strongest in states with both high numbers of immigrants and relatively generous social services. What worried them most, in other words, was the fiscal(财政的)burden of immigration. That conclusion was reinforced by another finding: that their opposition appeared to soften when that fiscal burden decreased, as occurred with welfare reform in the 1990s, which curbed immigrants' access to certain benefits.The irony is that for all the overexcited debate, the net effect of immigration is minimal. Even for those most acutely affected – say, low-skilled workers, or California residents – the impactisn't all that dramatic. "The unpleasant voices have tended to dominate our perceptions," says Daniel Tichenor, a political science professor at the University of Oregon. "But when all those factors are put together and the economists calculate the numbers, it ends up being a net positive, but a small one." Too bad most people don't realize it.90. What can we learn from the first paragraph?A) Whether immigrants are good or bad for the economy has been puzzling economists.B) The American economy used to thrive on immigration but now it's a different story.C) The consensus among economists is that immigration should not be encouraged.D) The general public thinks differently from most economists on the impact of immigration.91. In what way does the author think ordinary Americans benefit from immigration?A) They can access all kinds of public services.B) They can get consumer goods at lower prices.C) They can mix with people of different cultures.D) They can avoid doing much of the manual labor.92. What is the chief concern of native high-skilled, better-educated employees about the inflow of immigrants?A) It may change the existing social structure.B) It may pose a threat to their economic status.C) It may lead to social instability in the country.D) It may place a great strain on the state budget.93. What is the irony about the debate over immigration?A) Even economists can't reach a consensus about its impact.B) Those who are opposed to it turn out to benefit most from it.C) People are making too big a fuss about something of small impact.D) There is no essential difference between seemingly opposite opinions.Section CDirections:Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.Different people may find that different learning methods work best for them. While some would turn to tutoring in order to get better grades,others choose to join study groups. In fact, many universities encourage their students to form study groups and make good use of them.“Two heads are better than one.” That’s the simple idea behind study groups. By participating in a study group, students can benefit from some of their best academic resources: other students. They get to pick each other’s brains and improve their own understanding of different problems. Moreover, study groups can create the slightly tense atmosphere in which it’s good to study. For example, some students tend to procrastinate when they are studying by themselves; however, by joining a study group, they get to observe their peers who are working diligently and are likely to thus have motivation for working harder.Study groups work best when they are small, but not too small—four to five participants is about right. And it’s necessary to make sure everyone has the same goal, to prepare for a particular test, to discuss class readings or to review the week’s lecture notes. Besides, socializing in the group would make studying more fun as long as it took up only a small portion of group study time.In addition, to maximize the efficiency, some study groups like to assign members certain roles, and thus efficiency will be promoted. Besides an organizer, who gets group members to agree to a common purpose and a convenient time and place, there often is a group member playing the role of a source-seeker, whose duty is to remind group members to identify their sources. For instance, when a group member says “I read somewhere that ... ,” the source-seeker should ask for specifics. This person reminds the group that it’s important to know who said what and where it was said. And a gatekeeper, who tries to make sure that all group members are participating, may ask a direct question to help a shy person participate, or find a way to get a dominating member to listen.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)94. Many universities encourage students to take advantage of ________ for better grades rather than learning alone.95. Peers are not only the best academic resources but also motivate each other to _________ when learning in groups.96. According to paragraph 3, besides the small size, what are the other two factors that could help a study group work best?97. All the members in the study group will be assigned different roles because people believe that it will result in _______.第II卷(共47分)I.

2023-2024学年湖北省武汉市第十五中学高一上学期10月测试英语试题The Winter Olympic Games are not just an opportunity for athletes to win medals and honour for their countries. Every four years, the Games also offer audiences a chance to get to know more about winter sports from around the world. The Winter Olympics may not have the large crowds and huge stars of its summer sibling, but they share the same Olympic spirit.SkiingOne of the most popular sports of the Winter Olympic Games is skiing. Skiers compete in the downhill and slalom(回转赛), and in the short and long cross-country ski races. Skiing was originally a sport played only in cold northern countries, but now athletes from all over the world compete in this sport, even those from countries without any snow!SkatingSkaters compete with each other in speed races or in figure-skating events. The figure-skaters are generally considered to be the stars of the Winter Olympic Games. These ice princes and princesses are so graceful that it’s easy to forget that they are actually highly skilled athletes.The skeletonThe skeleton is one of the strangest-name d sports of the Olympics. The skeleton is named after the shape of the metal sleds used in the 1890s, when the sport first started. The skeleton is a downhill sled race, usually on ice. This sport looks a little like the luge(无舵雪橇), where a person sits on the back of the sled with his or her feet forward, but the skeleton is a lot more exciting and dangerous than that. In the skeleton, a person lies on his or her stomach on the sled, with his or her head pointing downhill!1. What is the sibling of the Winter Olympics?A.Skiing. B.Skating.C.The skeleton. D.The Summer Olympics.2. What can we learn about Skiing?A.It can involve speed and graceful figures.B.It is the most dangerous sport of the Olympics.C.It first started only in cold northern countries.D.It was originally played in the 1890s and usually on ice.3. How does the writer describe figure-skaters?A.They compete in the downhill and slalom.B.They are both graceful and highly skilled.C.They sit on the sled with their feet forward.D.They lie on the stomach with heads downward.If you are reading this, you were probably born in the 2000s. The oh-ohs. The 21st century. That would make you young, creative, and no doubt smart. Maybe good-looking, too. Right? But what do other people think about your generation?Some adults worry that you’re more interested in the screen in front of you than the world around you. They think of you as the “face-down generation” because you use your phone so much. They wonder how you will deal with school, friends and family. Are today’s teenagers too busy texting and taking selfies(自拍)to become successful in real life—or “IRL”, as you would say?Other adults worry that today’s youth are spoilt (溺爱) and don’t want to face the challenges of adult life. Many children born in the 1990s and 2000s were raised by “helicopter parents” who were always there to guide and help their children with a busy schedule filled with homework and after-school activities such as dancing, drawing, or sports. With parents who do everything for them, today’s youth seem to prefer to live like teenagers even when they are in their 20s or 30s.Does the face-down generation need a heads-up? Well, probably not. The fact is that many of today’s teenagers are better educated and more creative than past generations. They also seem to be willing to become leaders. More young people than ever volunteer to help their communities. There are also brave young people such as Malala Yousafzai, the teenager who won the 2014 Noble Peace Prize for pushing girls’ rights to go to school.So if you’re one of the oh-ohs, there’s no reason to be worried abou t the future. Things are looking up for the face-down generation. Chances are that you do GR8(great)and LOL(laugh out loud).4. Who is this passage written for?A.The teenagers B.The teachersC.The parents D.The oh-ohs5. What do helicopter parents always do?A.Help and direct their children. B.Do homework instead of children.C.Guide children to face challenges. D.Plan a busy schedule for children.6. How does the writer feel about the younger generation?A.Anxious. B.Confident. C.Satisfied. D.Helpless7. What can we learn according to the passage?A.Parents should put down their phones.B.Young people should be better educated.C.The oh-ohs should be hopeful about the future.D.Face-down generation should raise their heads.Will you eat everything in your lunch box today? If not, what will you do with what’s left over? Save it for another time or throw it in the bin?A new report by the United Nations estimates(估计)17% of all the food produced around the world gets wasted each year. That means 931 million tons of wasted food! Most of the waste(61%)happens in households, while food services such as restaurants and cafes make up 26 percent and shops make up 13 percent, the UN found.“Many countries haven’t yet known how much food they have wasted, so they don’t understand how serious the problem is,” said Clementine O’Connor, from the UN Environment Program and co-author of the report.Food waste is also bad for the environment. The UN Environment Program estimates that wasted food is responsible for 8—10% of global greenhouse gas emissions(排放物). If food waste were a country, it would have the third highest greenhouse gas emissions in the world, after only the US and China.The report found food waste in homes wasn’t limited to higher income co untries such as the US, the UK and Australia. Food waste researcher, Professor Brian Roe, from Ohio State University in the US, said food was also sometimes wasted in poor countries because they didn’t have refrigerators. Professor Brian Roe said household and cultural habits could lead to waste at home, including “buy one, get one free” deals. Meanwhile, “use-by” or “best-before” dates on products could also be causing people to throw away food. People could be throwing out food because they think it is unsafe to eat, when in fact the date only shows when quality might decline.8. Where does most of food waste happen?A.At home. B.At cafes. C.At shops. D.At restaurants. 9. Why does the author compare food waste to a country?A.To tell us greenhouse gas emissions are very serious.B.To tell us the US produces the most greenhouse gas.C.To show food waste is quite common all over the world.D.To show food waste does great harm to the environment.10. What does Professor Brian Roe try to tell us in the last paragraph?A.The harm of food waste. B.How food waste happens.C.Why we shouldn’t waste food.D.The ways to reduce food waste.11. What would be the best title of the text?A.Why do people waste food? B.Where do people waste food?C.Food waste is a serious problem D.Food waste happens in different countriesHundreds of little robots are walking around colleges and cities in the United States, China and elsewhere. The robots, about 50 centimeters tall, are bringing food like pizza to hungry students.“We saw needs for robot usage just go through the ceiling,” said Alastair Westgarth. He is the head of Starship Technologies, whose robots recently made their 2 millionth delivery(递送). “I think the need is always there, but it was brought forward by the pandemic effect(疫情影响).”The robots use cameras, sensors and GPS to move around and even cross streets on their own at the speed of 8 kilometers per hour. Operators keep watch on several robots at a time but they say they hardly need to stop or move them around a barrier(障碍). When a robot arrives, people enter a code(密码)from their phones to open the robot and get their food.There are some disadvantages for now. The robots have to be recharged(再充电)regularly. They are slow and cannot travel far. They will not leave food at the door. And big cities like New York and Beijing are not welcome them.Ji Hye Kim is chef of Miss Kim Restaurant in Ann Arbor, Michigan. She used robot delivery when her dining room was closed last year. Kim prefers robots to delivery companies which charge more and sometimes cancel orders if they do not have enough drivers. Delivery companies also group several orders per trip, she said, so food sometimes arrives cold. Robots take just one order at a time. Denis Maloney is vice president at Domino’s Pizza. His company is testing robots from Nuro, a California-based company. The robots are about 1.8 meters tall and can travel at a top speed of 40 kilometers on streets, not sidewalks. Maloney said delivery from Nuro costs more than using human drivers for now. But as the technology scales up and gets more refined, the costs will go down.12. What do we know about robot food delivery?A.Robots are very popular among university students.B.Only pizza can be brought by robots to hungry students.C.The pandemic has changed the way of fast food delivery.D.The pandemic saw sharp growth of robot food delivery.13. What can we infer from the operation of the robots?A.The operators use a code to control the robots.B.The robots run at a high speed on the street.C.They are controlled by a high level of intelligence.D.The robots don’t need to be charged regularly.14. What is the advantage of robot food delivery according to Ji Hye Kim?A.Longer distances to travel. B.Lower costs than drivers.C.More than one order per trip. D.High speeds and exact delivery.15. What is the main idea of the passage?A.Robot food delivery is increasing greatly.B.The pandemic affected people’s daily life.C.Scientists are making new types of robots.D.Robots has increased business of restaurants.Life is a mix of good and bad days. Each new day presents us with a fresh opportunity to learn new lessons. Sometimes, you learn these new lessons in your daily lives. On other days, you may gain invaluable knowledge about life from a game of poker(扑克牌). 16 Here are some of the life lessons you can learn from playing poker.Life is not fair.Life is not designed to be fair. Some people will get the best cards while others will have to deal with the waste pieces. Life has its rules, but sticking to them does not exactly mean you will achieve success. 17 What you can do in life and in a game of poker is directly influence the things under your control.Protect yourself.You are the most important person in your life. When playing poker, you are the most important player, and the cards you have are valuable things. 18 Always be sure to be in charge of your safety. Learn from mistakes.19 You learn from mistakes, and rather than trying to avoid mistakes, you should instead try to avoid repeating the same mistake. If you are trying to avoid mistakes in a poker game, you can get left behind quickly.20Gains and losses are a part of life. You win some to lose some, just like in a game of poker. Some risky actions may prove unprofitable after you are neck-deep in them. In such cases, you must know when to quit, count your losses, and bounce back better.He was already asleep.

As I was getting my wheelchair off the back, a man watched me from his car and I noticed a wheelchair in his back seat. We spoke for a moment and I asked him about the wheelchair. He answered that it was for his daughter. “Well, do you think she would like to go for a ride on my motorbike with me?” I asked. He seemed shocked that a total stranger would ask him this. He thought about it for a second and said, “OK, as long as I can follow you.”He introduced me to Amy and he sat her on my back seat. Her father followed me for a few miles and she talked non-stop about what she wanted for Christmas.As we came back to the convenience store, she said, “This ride is the best Christmas present I could ever receive. I have been in a wheelchair my whole life and didn’t know I could do this.” I told her about some of the other things I do (ski, travel the world by myself, etc.). As her father was taking her off my bike, she turned to him and said, “Oh Daddy, I’m going to be OK. Mr. Bryant does all kinds of things, and I will too.” Her fat her turned away as a tear of joy rolled down his cheek. He hugged me and said, “I was sitting here praying for a gift for Amy that would encourage her. She often felt that her life was dull compared to other children. God answered my prayer just now. Now I pray that God will bless you for your gift to Amy today.” I believed what he said. Being kind and thoughtful to others, we can be an answer to prayer.35.

We hope the excitement will continue,”said N.K. Coyal, president of consultant group of Communications and Manufacturing Association of India.But if India is the world's fastest-growing mobile phone market with nearly 300 million subscribers, only 11 million people in the country have access to the Internet.While developed markets like South Korea and Singapore are among the world's top 10 economies for household broadband access, most of the low and lower-middle-income economies in the Asia Pacific region have limited and costly access to the Internet. Developing countries in Asia should speed up plans to develop high-speed broadband Internet access, incuding making spectrum available and creating investment incentives(刺激).To serve growing demand for mobile data services, which is driven by things like smart phones and embedded laptops, operators are focusing on new ways to improve value-added services.Wang Jianzhou, chairman and CEO of China Mobile, said his company was banking on the development of newgeneration wireless technologies such as Long-Term Evolution(LTE), which promises to speed up everything from mobile video sharing to music downloads. Over a third of China Mobile users use their handsets to listen to music, much higher than in the United States, Britain, France and Germany.“Surely it is Asian operators who will be among the first to use the technological potential of ITE, translating it into real-world services, revenues(收入,税收)and customer numbers,”said Toure.39.According to the report of ITU, in Asia________.A.there is the largest number of users of the InternetB.most inhabitants have access to the high-speed InterntC.China and India are in great need of phones rather than file InternetD.there is a growth in the cellphone in Asia and India40.The peculiar character of Long-Term Evolution is________.A.advanced B.cheap C.high-speed D.convenient41.From the last paragraph, we can infer________.A.the technology of LTE is mainly used in the field of translatingB.the technology of LTE is just potential in realityC.the use of LTE will bring Asian operators more profitsD.Asia will lead in the application of technology42.The main idea of the passage is________.A.Asia leads mobile and the Internet growth but falls behind the US and Europe B.Asia is in the lead in the field of modern technologyC.Asia is greatly behind western countries in technologyD.Asia leaves Europe countries behind in advanced technologyDWithout most people realizing it, there has been revolution in office work over the last ten years. Before that time, large computers were only used by large rich companies that could afford the investment. With the advancement of technology, small computers have come onto the market which are capable of doing the work which used to be done by much larger and expensive computers, so now most smaller companies can use them.The main development in small computers has been in the field of word processor system, or WPS as they are often called. 40% of British offices are now estimated to have a word processor and this percentage is growing fast.There are many advantages in using a word processor for both secretary and manager. The secretary is freed from a lot of daily work, such as retyping letters and storing papers. He or she can use this time to do other more interesting work for the boss. From a manager's point of view, secretarial time is being made better use of and money can be saved by doing daily jobs automatically outside office hours.But is it all good? If a lot of daily secretarial work can be done automatically, surely this will mean that fewer secretaries will be needed. Another worry is the increasing medical problems related to work with visual display units (显示器). The unease of a slow loss of sight among people using word processors seems to have risen greatly. It is also feared that if a woman works at a VDU for long hours, the unborn child in her body might be killed. Safety screens to put over a VDU have been invented but few companies in England bother to buy them.Whatever the arguments for and against word processors, they are a key feature of this revolution in office practice.43. Ten years ago, large computers were only used by large companies because _________.A. small companies did not have enough money to buy such expensive computersB. large computers could not do the work that small companies can do todayC. large computers did not come onto the marketD. small companies did not need to use this new technology44. According to the writer, the main progress made in office work over the last ten years is ________.A. the saving of time and moneyB. the use of computers in big companiesC. the wide use of word processorsD. the decreasing number of secretaries45 We can infer from the passage that with the use of word processors, _________.A. some secretaries will lose their jobsB. all jobs can be done automatically outside office hoursC. medical problems related to work with a VDU must have increasedD. the British companies will make less money46. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. There are both advantages and disadvantages in using a word processor.B. The British companies care much for the health of the people using word processors.C. The technology in the field of computers has been greatly advanced over thelast ten years.D. Using word processors, secretaries can get more time to do more interestingwork for their bosses.EMonitoring the mood of a pet dog could be used as an early warning sign that an elderly owner is struggling to cope, a new report has claimed.Researchers placed movement sensors (探测器) on dogs to track their behaviour and identified 17 distinct activities, including chewing, barking, sitting and digging.This allowed them to map the normal behaviour of a healthy, happy dog, which means any changes can be monitored and could indicate an issue with their owner.Nils Hammerla, part of the team from Newcastle University, said, “Humans and dogs have lived together in close relationships for thousands of years, which has led to strong emotional and social mutual bonds.”“A dog’s physical and emotional dependence on their owner mea ns that their well-being is likely to reflect that of their owner. Any changes such as the dog being walked less often, perhaps not being fed regularly, or simply demonstrating “unhappy” behaviour could be an early indicator for families that an older rela tive needs help. This is the first system of its kind which allows us to remotely monitor a dog’s behaviour in its natural setting.”The team of academics, who presented their findings at the 2013 UbiComp conference in Zurich, created a hi-tech, waterproof (防水的) dog collar for the study.Dr Cas Ladha, who led the study, said: “A lot of our research is focused on developing intelligent systems that can help older people to live independently for longer. But developing a system that reassures family and carers that an older relative is well without intruding on (侵犯) the individual’s privacy is difficult. This is just the first step but the idea behind this research is that it would allow us to support people without the need for cameras.”A range of dogs was used for the study, as the team needed to map distinct behaviours that correlated between different breeds.47. From the text, we know that Nils Hammerla ____________.A. led the study and identified 17 activities of dogsB. thinks some activities of d ogs can reflect senior owners’ healthC. studied the relationship between humans and animalsD. developed a hi-tech, waterproof dog collar48 The underlined word “reassure” in Paragraph 7 probably means ____________.A. protectB. comfortC.warnD.recognize49. Which of the following is an advantage of the intelligent system mentioned in the text?A. It can indicate that people aren’t well.B. It can identify different activities of dogs.C. It monitors an elderly owner without disturbing his privacy.D. It lets people see the dog’s behavior clearly.50. Which of the following could be the best title for the text?A. Dogs’ mood can be an indicator of owners’ healthB. Strong bonds between dogs and their senior ownersC. Signs that your older relative needs helpD.
