What once was a blank wall was transformed into two beautiful French doors 9 out to a wheelchair accessible ramp (斜坡) and an updated porch. Abe and his mother even 10 redecorated Noah's room with all his favorite characters, and neighbors 11 their helping hands to yard work.The day finally came for Abe, his mother, all their friends, family and other volunteers to 12 Noah.When his mother 13 Noah out of the doors and down the ramp，Noah's smile was 14 .Sometimes，we can construct a small door that will lead to a big 15 for someone else.1．A．emotional B．housing C．physical D．financial2．A．accessing B．spotting C．building D．repairing3．A．approached B．sensed C．heard D．imagined4．A．company B．freedom C．love D．growth5．A．costly B．challenging C．fun D．big6．A．call B．pick up C．contact D．reply to7．A．idea B．plan C．choice D．wish8．A．take B．risk C．get D．make9．A．leading B．making C．reaching D．stepping10．A．personally B．originally C．occasionally D．directly11．A．brought B．found C．lent D．arranged12．A．treat B．invite C．thank D．surprise13．A．led B．pushed C．supported D．pulled14．A．amusing B．priceless C．thoughtful D．shocking15．A．dream B．ability C．world D．chance二、阅读选择Movie theaters around the world have closed during the coronations outbreak. Fortunately, there's never been a better time to catch up on classic old movies. Below, read our picks for best travel movies:‘Thelma and Louise'(1991)“Thelma and Louise,” is a tale of female friendship, and the screen is dominated by the film's two lead females. The pals from small-town Arkansas hit the road on a weekend quest in search of fun and freedom from their jobs and their boredom.Filmed in California and Utah, with the best Grand Canyon scenes filmed south of Dead Horse Point State Park, “Thelma and Louise”is a good option if you have never been out West or if you have and eager to return.‘Grand Budapest Hotel' (2014)It's one of the most satisfying films of director Wes Anderson all works. Set in a luxury ski resort in the fictional East European Republic of Zubrowka in the 1930s, the plot is supported by a murder investigation filled with stolen art, prison escapesand a secret concierge (看门人) society.Though the hotel doesn't actually exist, much of the film was shot in the beautiful German town of Goerlitz, famed for its medieval streets.‘Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone'(200)When Harry Potter runs through a column at King's Cross railway station in London to get to Platform 9 3/4, we know it isn't real. And yet we want to visit.The movie's locations are inspired by real places, as graduates of English private schools will tell you: rushing down narrow old streets to visit tea houses and sandwich shops, discovering books that are hundreds of years old.‘The Trip to Italy' (2014)In this film, you're on an extraordinary road trip along with two old friends. The route is from Piedmont via Rome to Amalfi, back to Naples and finally the tony island of Capri. Retracing the footsteps of romantic poets Byron and Shelley, they drive a Mini Cooper through the breathtaking country and alongside stiff seaside cliffs.16．If you are interested in the scenery of American west, which film can you choose to watch?A．Thelma and Louise. B．Grand Budapest Hotel.C．Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. D．The Trip to Italy.17．Which place mentioned in the films can't be found in real life?A．Goerlitz. B．Grand Budapest Hotel.C．Capri. D．Dead Horse Point State Park.18．Why does the author write this passage?A．To introduce some places to travel.B．To introduce the newly released films.C．To recommend some travel movies to watch.D．To show the attractive scenery mentioned in the films.In life，once on a path，we tend to follow it，for better or worse.What's sad is that even if it's the latter，we often accept it anyway because we are so used to the way things are that wed don't even recognize that they could be different This is a phenomenon psychologist call functional fixedness.This classic experiment will give you an idea of how it works and a sense of whether you may have fallen into the same trap: People are given a box of tacks (大头钉) and some matches and asked to find a way to attach a candle to a wall so that it burns properly.Typically, the subjects try tacking the candle to the wall or lighting it to fix it with melted wax. The psychologists had, of course, arranged it so that neither of these obvious approaches would work. The tacks are too short, and the paraffin (石蜡) doesn't stick to the wall. So how can you complete the task? The successful technique is to use the tack box as a candle-holder. You empty it, tack it to the wall. and stand the candle inside it. To think of that, you have to look beyond the box's usual role as a receptacle just for tacks and re-imagine it serving an entirely new purpose. That is difficult because we all suffer to one degree or another from functional fixedness.The inability to think in new ways affects people in every corner of society. The political theorist Hannah Arendt coined the phrase“frozen thoughts”to describe deeply held ideas that we no longer question but should. In Arendt's eyes, the self- content reliance on such accepted “truths”also made people blind to ideas that didn't fit their worldview, even when there was plenty of evidence for them.Frozen thinking has nothing to do with intelligence, she said,“It can be found in highly intelligent people.”19．What does the underlined word“it”in paragraph 2 refer to?A．The experiment. B．Functional fixedness.C．The path. D．The thinking.20．Which way is hard to think of to complete the task?A．Tacking the candle to the wall.B．Fixing the candle with melted wax.C．Using the tack box as a candle-holder.D．Lighting the candle to stand it.21．Which of the following statements will Hannah Arendt agree with?A．People should question.B．We should be used to the way things are.C．People shouldn't accept the idea that doesn't fit their worldview.D．The smarter people are，the more open to the new things they are.22．What's the passage mainly about?A．An interesting experimentB．A psychological phenomenon.C．A theory to be proved.D．The opinion of Hannah Arendt.Japan's biggest airline is betting that the future of travel isn't traveling at all. For the last month, a married couple has been interacting with a robot—called an Avatar—that's controlled by their daughter hundreds of miles away. Made by ANA Holdings Inc., it looks like a vacuum cleaner with an iPad attached. But the screen displays the daughter's face as they chat, and its wheels let her move about the house as though she's really there.“Virtual travel” is nothing new,of course.Storytellers, travel writers and artists have been stimulating the senses of armcha ir tourists for centuries. It's only in recent decades that frequent, safe travel has become available to the non- wealthy.Yet even as the world's middle classes climb out of the armchair and into economy-class seat, there are signs of a post-travel society emerging. Concerns about environmental sustainability cause loss to airlines which release much carbon. And the aging of abundant societies is both restricting physical travel and creating demand for alternative ways to experience the world. For the travel industry, virtual reality offers an attractive response to these trends.Of course, new technologies encourage far-out claims. ANA doesn't plan to start selling Avatars until next year. Profits, too, will probably be difficult to make: By one estimate, the global market for this kind of technology will be worth only about $300 million by 2023. By contrast, ANA's traditional travel business brought in more than $19 billion last year.But if the business value for virtual vacations is still weak, the market for technologies that bridge physical distances between families and coworkers seems likely to only expand. ANA's robots may not replace its airplanes any time soon, but they ll almost certainly be a part of travel's high-tech future.23．Why does the author use the example of a couple interacting with a robot?A．To show the Japanese are crazy about travel.B．To indicate virtual travel begins to enter people's real life.C．To show the couple are very enthusiastic over robots.D．To express the close relationship between the couple and their daughter.24．Which of the following is the possible reason for virtual travel's appearance?A．Storytellers, travel writers and artists have been using it for centuries.B．Frequent and safe travel has become available to the ordinary people.C．People are worried about the air pollution caused by airlines.D．More and more people lose interest in travel.25．What can we learn about Avatars from the last two paragraphs?A．They will be put on the market soon.B．They will bring ANA a lot of money,C．They will replace ANA's airplanes soon.D．They are almost unavoidable in travel's future.26．What can be a suitable title for the text?A．Your Next Travel May Be VirtualB．Easy Travel in the FutureC．Virtual Travel BenefitsD．Air Travel DisappearingRick Guidotti put aside his career as a fashioned Photographer to turn his lens (镜头) to people living with genetic, physical and behavioral differences.He says what changed his perception of beauty was a chance encounter with an albino (白化病) girl .“1 was j ust tired of people telling me who was beautiful. Every season that face would change but1 was always told who was beautiful. As an artist, I don't see beauty just on covers of magazines. I see it everywhere. So that kind of was my initial kind of - that opened my eyes a little wider in the wider.”Guidotti has created Positive Exposure, a not-for-profit organization that uses photography and video to transform public perceptions and promote a world where differences are celebrated. Guidotti and Positive Exposure are featured in a new documentary called On Beauty.One of the women featured in the film is Jayne Waithera.“I never thought I was beautiful because nobody said that to me, but my meeting was my profound moment. I remember that particular day. He took my picture and I felt so good like I felt there s somebody who, really like, loves me and sees me for who I am and who sees me more than my condition.”Rick is traveling from city to city to promote On Beauty. He says his tour is not about money, it's a bout the message:“As I travel from community to community, I'm taking photographs and I'm empowering individuals with a positive sense of who they are. They're seeing beauty in their reflection but I'm also empowering their families and they in turn are empowering their communities as well. All is based on the philosophy of change - how you see, see how you change.”27．Why did Rick change his career?A．Because he couldn't earn enough money from his former career.B．Because the beauty on covers of magazines are not beautiful.C．Because he wanted to create his own company.D．Because his comprehension of beauty changed owing to an albino girl.28．What can we know about Positive Exposure?A．It brings a lot of money for Rick.B．It makes the public more beautiful.C．It welcomes differences in the world.D．It makes photography more popular.29．What does the author want to tell us by mentioning Jayne in paragraph 4?A．Jayne was beautiful indeed.B．Photographs gave Jayne a positive sense of who she was.C．It was unfair nobody discovered Jayne's beauty.D．Jayne's picture was more beautiful than herself.30．What does the author mainly intend to tell us in the last paragraph?A．We should travel frequently.B．Community has a great influence on everyone.C．We should make contributions to our community.D．Your attitude to seeing the world decides your behavior.三、七选五Laboratory studies have shown that prolonged exposure to high intensity blue light damages retinal (视网膜的) cells in mice.31．So, why is there the disconnect between blue light's effects on rodent(啮齿类动物) eyes and human eyes?32．We have protective elements, such as macular pigments (黄斑色素) and the natural blue-blocking ability of the crystalline lens (晶状体). These structures absorb blue light before it reaches the delicate retina.Just because blue light isn't harming your retina, it doesn't mean your electronic devices are harmless.33．Mounting evidence suggests that screen time before bed increases the time it takes to fall sleep. It also robs you of restorative rapid-eye movement seep, dulls focus, and reduces brain activity the next day.34．First, turn off your electronic devices before bed. Outside of the bedroom, when you do look at your screens, lower the brightness.Second, follow the“20-20-20”rule The American Optometric Association(美国验光学会) defines this rule as taking a20-second break every 20 minutes to look at something 20 feet in the distance. 35．Third, use lubricating eye drops before extended computer use. This method will build up the body's natural tears and keep the eye's surface water-bearing.A．This will allow your eyes to relax.B．Human eyes are different from rodent eyes.C．That's why it's so important to have your eyes tested regularly.D．Because of is wavelength, blue light dos disrupt healthy sleep physiology (生理机能).E.But epidemiological (流行病学的) studies on real people tell a different story.F.Consumers often don't think about the impact digital devices might have on their vision.G.There are ways to make your screen viewing more comfortable and more helpful to seep.四、用单词的适当形式完成短文阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

analysis found．The rate of extinction is eight times faster than that of mammals，birds and reptiles．“It should be of huge concern to all of us，for insects are at the heart of every food web．山东省中学联盟They pollinate(授粉)the large majority of plant species，keep the soil healthy，recycle nutrients，control pests，and much more．Love them or 1oathe them，we humans cannot survive without insects，”said Prof Dave Goulson at the University of Sus sex in the UK．The analysis，published in the journal Biological Conservation，says intensive(集约型)agriculture is the main driver of the declines，particularly the heavy use of pesticides．Urbanisation and climate change are also significant factors．“If insect species losses cannot be stopped，this will have catastrophic consequences for both the planet’s ecosystems and for the survival of mankind．It is very rapid．In 10 years you will have a quarter less，in 50 years only half left and in 100 years you will have none，”said review author Francisco Sánchez-Bayo，at the University of Sydney，Australia．One of the biggest impacts of insect loss is on many birds，reptiles，amphibians and fish that eat insects．“If this food source is taken away，all these animals starve to death，”he said．Such effects have already been seen in Puerto Rico，where a recent study revealed a 98％fall in ground insects over 35 years．Matt Shardlow，at the conservation charity Buglife，said：“It is thoughtful to see this evidence that shows the pitiful s tate of the world’s insect populations．It is increasingly obvious that the planet’s ecology is breaking and there is a need for a strong and global effort to prevent and change these terrible trends．”8．Why are people worried about the insect decline?A．They are vital to ecosystems．B．They provide food for pests．C．They pollinate all plants．D．They enrich the soil．9．What is the main cause of insect losses?A．More and more trees．B．Restrictions on pesticides．C．Upgrading agriculture．D．Friendly environment．10．Where can you find the exact time of insect losses?A．In paragraph 1．B．In paragraph 2．C．In paragraph 3．D．In paragraph 4．11．What can be a suitable title for the text?A．Humans can survive the punishment of natureB．Insect declining is breaking nature’s ecosystemsC．Nature’s ecosystems are influenced by humansD．Insects and animals are dying out in Puerto RicoDResearchers from the Water, Peace and Security partnership (WPS) have announced thecreation of a global forecasting tool that can predict where conflicts arising from water insecurity are most likely to break out. The system uses artificial intelligence to create patterns from a wide rage of geographical and socio-economic data and can identify potential conflict hotspots up to a year in advance.Susan Schme, a senior lecturer at Delft Institute for Water Education, which leads the WPS, explains predicting these types of conflicts isn’t as simple as it might first appear. It isn’t simply a case of conflicts increasing every time a water security incident occurs. Several regional and cultural factors also play a part, making prediction difficult.The researchers test-ran the AI tool in Mali. They found that it predicted more than three-quarters of the water-related conflicts there. To achieve this, the system is fed with a variety of data. “First there’s the natural side of things—so rainfall data, soil moisture and many other natural factors,” explains Schme. This enables it to identify areas where availabil ity of water is likely to become a concern.“Then we also look at vulnerability in terms of socio-economic and political developments —anything from a regime type to the state of development in a region,” she adds. This additional information is weighed up to determine whether it increases or decreases the chance of conflict. Other factors might include whether the water insecurity is likely to affect crops.The tool is just one part of a wider WPS project that aims to increase the availability of information which could help avoid water-related conflicts. Once artificial intelligence has made its predictions the WPS researchers use other analytical tools to zoom-in on a certain region and find out exactly what’s driving water insecurity. This might be decreased rainfall, increased population, or water might be being diverted away from a community.The designers are now undergoing final tests of the new AI tool to make sure it’s ready for a November launch date. Once widely available, Schme hopes that it will be used by local governments and also by international organizations with an interest in maintaining global stability.12. What is the function of the tool?A. Collecting all kinds of data.B. Predicting conflict hotspots.C. Ensuring security of water.D. Stopping breakout of water pipe.13. How did the AI tool work in Mali?A. The government discourages it.B. More improvement is needed.C. It works quite effectively.D. It attracts public attention.14. What is related to the water-related conflicts in Mali?A. Its climate.B. Its lifestyle.C. Its agriculture.D. Its population.15. What is the last paragraph mainly about?A. People’s attitude to the AI tool.B. Study process of the AI tool.C. Designers of the AI tool.D. The future of the AI tool.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。

高考英语模拟试卷一、阅读理解（本大题共15小题，共30.0分）ASeattle's Pike Place Market stretches for four city blocks．It includes a collection of old buildings，bunches of stalls and street musicians and afters that draw both locals and visitors．The themed market wakes up each day at 5：00 a．m．Among the first to arrive are flower vendors and fish mongers （小贩）like Jason Scott．My stand is known for its tradition of throwing fish before wrapping it up for a customer．I came back out of high school and I've been here ever since．I'm 46 now．Many Pike Place Market stores are family-run and have been around for generations．Russian-speaking immigrants opened Piroshky bakery 25 years ago．Not a lot of people understand what Piroshky is．People think sometimes it's a last name，so we do have to educate people a lot．If you go to Russia and you go to a market like this，you could hear the latest scream out - Piroshky，Piroshky and that's why we call it Piroshky．Next to Piroshky is a Chinese bakery called Mee Sum pastry．It's owned by the third generation of the Fong family．They call their signature pastry，the best and biggest combos （套餐）in towns．Like Chinese hamburger，you can put chicken or puppy kibble or crispy even vegetable in it．But in this sprawling （无序扩展的）market，one of the most unusual places isn't a food or craft stall．It's the gum wall where people can stick their tiny chewed up clump on a roll．Apparently，they don't give it much thought，trying to be original．This gum wall started about 20 years ago when the theater asked people not to bring gum inside because they didn't want it under the seats，so people would put gum up on the outside．Market officials initially tried to clear the sticky stuff off the wall，but new gum always reappeared so they finally gave up．The gum wall quickly became a tourist attraction．And just like that，the gum wall turned into an attraction，highlighting a more unusual side of Seattle that locals and visitors love．1.What do we know about Seattle's Pike Place Market？______A. It's small and delicate．B. It's tidy and in order．C. It's special and attractive．D. It's modern and new．2.What is Piroshky？______A. A Russian-speaking immigrant．B. A kind of baked pies．C. People's last name．D. A Chinese bakery．3.How does the writer find the gum wall？______A. It should be cleared away．B. It shows the special side of Seattle．C. It is made on purpose．D. It resulted from the market officials' wrong decision．BAs an international body charged with the mission of keeping world peace and development，the United Nations cannot operate without financial support from its member countries．And as a firm defender of multilateralism（多边主义）and a beneficiary of globalization，China knows how important it is to safeguard the current world order in which the UN plays an important role．China is aware how important it is that it does its bit to the UN can accomplish its mission knows that this is a responsibility it must undertake for the benefit of all．And Chinese people can take pride in the fact that the country has overtaken Japan to be the second-largest contributor to the UN regular budget．Since how much a country pays to the regular get of the United Nations is a standard on how powerful the country is，at least financially．It is therefore natural that Chinas contribution to the UN budget should rise from 2.05 percent in 2005 to 12.01 percent this year．That hike is an indicator of what the country has achieved over the past 13 years．With the country's further development，there is no doubt that its financial contribution to the UN will continue to rise．China will pay as it should．However，the more money a country pays，the more responsibility it shoulders and more say it is entitled to enjoy as a major player on the world stage．But the reality is that the rights and international standing China enjoys are still disproportional（不相称的）to what it does for the UN and its contribution to the development of the world economy．As a responsible member of the international community，China is struggling for reform of the UN and the global governance system so they are more effective and representative of the international community as a whole．Although peace and development remain the themes of the times，uncertainty and instability are on the rise．With this in mind，all countries should make combined efforts to deepen understanding，increase trust and promote cooperation．China is committed to building a community with a shared future for humanity and will continue to work with the UN to realize that vision．4.What can we learn from the first paragraph？______A. China is against multilateralism and globalization．B. The UN needs financial help from its member countries．C. China doesn't agree with the UN on keeping the current world order．D. The UN must undertake the responsibility to ensure China's benefit．5.What does the underlined word "hike" in paragraph 2 probably mean？______A. WalkB. RiseC. BudgetD. Contribution6.What can we infer from paragraph 3？______A. If a country pays more money，it can take on less responsibility．B. China's contribution to world economy equals the rights it enjoys．C. China is making great efforts to improve the situation of the UN．D. The global governance system is very satisfying now．7.What is the main idea of the text？______A. China is keeping world peace and development instead of the UN．B. China contributes most to the UN regular budget．C. China enjoys more say as a great power on the world stage．D. China is working with the UN in search for common good．CDuring Amsterdam's chaotic rush hour，nine -year-old Lotta Crok cycles to a very busy junction．"Look，" she says．"There's traffic coming from everywhere．Four trams from four different directions．For a child on a bike that's really confusing!"Lotta is the first junior cycle mayor in the world and her working area is the Dutch capital．You would think this challenge would be superfluous in a city known as the bicycle capital of the world．The number of bicycles in Amsterdam is estimated at 81，000 - more than the city's 850，000 inhabitants - and 63% of the population cycle daily．But children who cycle in Amsterdam face challenges，Lotta says："The three biggest problems for us are cars，cycling tourists and scooters （小型摩托）．The cars take up too much space，the tourists are always swinging side to side and stop when you least expect it，and the scooters simply run you over．"Lotta became junior cycle mayor in June last year when she won a contest in which school children were asked to come up with plans to make cycling safer and more fun．Her idea was to add children's bikes to the popular bike share programme．Since Lotta was appointed junior cycle mayor，she has been busy，giving interviews，opening cycling contests in the city and being a jury （评审员）member during the Amsterdam Light Parade，an event in which Amsterdammers decorate their bikes with lights．She is now planning a meeting with the city's mayor to discuss ideas that children have come up with："One of our proposals is a bicycle park where children can learn how to cycle．Right now，most of us learn a it in the street，which can be quite busy．Another idea is to create an app for tourists to teach them the rules of cycling，because most of them really don't know．"Following the success of the Amsterdam scheme，cycle mayors around the world are now planning to appoint junior colleagues．"They see it works really well，" Boerma，the senior major，says．"I talk to the parents，Lotta talks to the children．And if you look at the city through the eyes of a child，you will also make it accessible for others．A city that's good for an eight-year-old is also good for an 88-year-old．"8.Why is a junior cycle mayor appointed in Amsterdam？______A. To teach children how to ride．B. To ensure cycling is safer for children．C. To give suggestions to the city's mayor on how to run the city．D. To organize the cycling contests in the city．9.Which word can best replace the underlined word "superfluous" in paragraph 2？______A. ImportantB. UnnecessaryC. DifficultD. Valuable10.What has Lotta done since she became the bike mayor？______ ．A. She has solved the three biggest problems for children cycling in Amsterdam．B. She has won a contest about cycling．C. She has given interviews and been a jury member during a parade．D. She has given proposals to the city mayor．11.What's Boerma's attitude to the junior cycle mayor？______A. CautiousB. FavorableC. AmbiguousD. DisapprovingDThe long，white robot weighs more than 450 kilograms．Like other robots，it is equipped with cameras and mechanical arms to automatically perform many different jobs．Angus is a major part of operations at Alexander's indoor robot farm．about 40 kilometers south of San Francisco．The 743-square meter farm uses a hydroponic system that grows plants without soil．The plants grow inside equipment that provides a continuous flow of water．The indoor farm uses electrical light instead of sunlight．This kind of farm uses much less water and does not require human labor to run．The main job for Angus is to move thousands of plants around the farm，from small containers to larger onesas they grow．Angus also carries plants to another robot that does not have a name yet．Angus moves slowly to complete its work．But the robot is very strong and can lift about 300 kilograms．For now，the farm uses humans to collect vegetables and other crops when they are ready．But Alexander says he is working on a robot that will eventually take over that job too．Alexander helped start the company Iron Ox after leaving Google，where he worked on robotics at the company's Google x project．He teamed up with another former Google employee，Jon Binney．Together they founded Iron Ox．Iron Ox's website says the hydroponic growing system uses 90 percent less water．It also said the growing method is up to 30 times more productive than growing crops on land．Alexander said growing food robotically throughout the year in major cities will provide a more consistent and fresh product．Most of the vegetables sold in the U．S．are grown in California，Arizona，Mexico and other nations．That means that many people in U．S．cities are eating vegetables that are nearly a week old by the time they arrive in stores．Indoor farms operate all year and are not generally affected by bad weather．This will permit the company to provide a steady flow of goods without major price changes．12.How does Angus work in the farm？______A. It provides a continuous flow of water for the plants．B. It directs other robots to work in the farm．C. It works on collecting vegetables．D. It is in charge of transferring plants．13.What do we know about Alexander？______A. He used to work on robotics at Google．B. He started a company studying robotics with Binney．C. He works on collecting crops when they are ready．D. He started Iron Ox by himself．14.What's the advantage of Alexander's farm？______A. The vegetables from this farm sell in higher price．B. The vegetables from this farm are more nutritious．C. It uses electrical light instead of sunlight．D. It uses less water but produces more．15.Which of the following can be a suitable title for the passage？______A. Robot Farm，the Future of the AgricultureB. Robot Farm，Aiming to Bring Fresher Food to US CitiesC. Alexander，an Extraordinary Scientist on RoboticsD. Hydroponic System，the New Way of Farming二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共10.0分）The millipede （千足虫）Forest life(1) We enjoy watching television programs about bears，bats or monkeys．We knew a lot about their lives：how they find food or what they do at different times of the year．But what about smaller animals that are more difficult to see or film？(2) A French scientist，Francois-Xavier，Joly，is studying one of them - the millipede．The importance of leavesWhen leaves begin to die in autumn，they turn from green to yellow and fall from the trees．(3) Life in the forest needs these nutrients- without them，plants could not grow and so there would be no food for other animals．Food on the forest floorSome living things，like mushrooms，break the leaves into smaller pieces and eat them．In a few months there is nothing left of them．But for mushrooms，not all trees are the same．Mushrooms prefer some types of leaves to others．This means that some leaves take much longer to break down than others，sometimes years．So what happens to these？(4) More on the menuThe millipede also likes leaves and it eats any type．But when it has finished，it produces waste．This waste then becomes the food of mushrooms．When mushrooms eat leaves they choose only certain types - But when they eat waste，they will eat any kind．(5)So next time you are walking through a forest，remember that something may be having a meal right under your feet!A．This is where the millipede can help．B．However，not all leaves are equally rich．C．Millipedes do amazing things in the soil in our forests．D．Forests are amazing places，and so are the animals that live in them．E．As they break down on the ground，nutrients are returned to the soil．F．Many small animals that live in forests are very important for the soil．G．This is how the millipede turns dead leaves into food for others and helps life continue．16.

It can be used in any bus company.2.If you want to go sightseeing around one of the lake areas, which ticket is the most suitable?A. Dayrider.B. Bus and Boat.C. Sightseeing Tickets.D.

A valid student ID card.BWhen Allen invited me to go on a camping trip to the mountains, I imagined a wooden cabin overlooking a lake, with a warm fireplace, hot chocolate, and soft beds. But my happy image became a nightmare when Allen and his older brother, Leo, showed up with a truck filled with camping equipment—tents, sleeping bags, and water bottles. We were going on survival training!Leo was keen to leave the city behind us and urged us to hurry. Several hours later, as we drove through the forest, the mountains seemed bigger than I remembered; the trees were larger, and the environment felt more threatening.At the trailhead, Leo tied a sleeping bag onto my already heavy pack and lectured Allen and me about hiking rules. Then, with Leo in front we set off along the narrow and steep dirt track that wound up the mountains.After 6 hours of climbing, we finally reached the top. My legs were aching and I dropped my pack and groaned but there was no time to rest. “We need to set up camp quickly,” said Leo. “There are dark clouds coming in. A storm’s on its way.”I thought he was kidding, but Leo was quite serious. He and Allen worked expertly, while I stood around and pretended to help, thunder rumbling (发出隆隆声) in the distance. We just finished putting up the tents when it hit. The wind, thunder, and lightning were relentless (持续强烈的).Leo, sensing that I was scared, started telling us some stories about his camping adventures. But each time lightning lit up the tent and the thunder echoed, I jumped. “Don’t worry. Summer storms pass quickly,” Leo said, trying to comfort me. “And at least the rain will keep the bears away,” he said with a teasing smile, which was lesscomforting.And just as quickly as the storm came rushing in, it passed, and we exited the tent. The view was incredible—I could see for miles. As darkness set in, I stared in wonder at the millions of stars glowing in the night sky.I wouldn’t lie—I was still wishing for a hot shower and a soft bed, but as I gazed upward at the Milky Way, I knew this was an adventure I would never forget.4.Why did the author think his happy image became a nightmare?A. Allen had arrived earlier than arranged.B. He saw that Allen was not well prepared.C. He realized their trip would be challenging.D. Allen’s brother was unexpectedly with him.5.Why was it necessary to set up camp immediately after reaching the mountain top?A. It was almost night time.B. The weather was changing.C. They were tired and needed to rest.D. They needed protection from animals.6.What can we know about Leo?A. He is an experienced and capable hiker.B. He is inconsiderate.C. He had known the author for a long time.D. He had not been to this mountain before.7.How did the author feel at the end of the story?A. Tired.B. Optimistic.C. Scared.D. Disappointed.CThe TV series, The Longest Day in Chang’an, which was shown on Chinese online platforms last summer became a hit soon. Since then, it has been shown on partnering streaming platforms and TV networks abroad. Some websites overseas also offered the program to their users paying for it—the first time a Chinese series was broadcast as paid content abroad.“I was amazed by the overseas audience’s love for this show,” Cao Dun, director of The Longest Day in Chang’an, told Beijing Review. “I was worried that they wouldn’t understand the complex political structure of the Tang Dynasty. But in reality, the show is prompting foreign audiences to research Tang D ynasty’s history to better understand the plot.”The unique culture in ancient China is not a barrier but a bridge to connect with foreign audiences. In the TV series, every figure is given enough space to flesh out his or her character. Telling stories of ordinary Chinese people that resonate (引起共鸣) with the audience might be the way to communicate with the world. “The success of the TV series shows that beauty is a universal language crossing borders,” he told Beijing Review.His ambition is to distinguish Chinese dramas from the TV shows in the rest of the world. “The TV series is a step in my plan to tell Chinese stories to the world,” Cao said. “After describing the impressive beauty of the Tang Dynasty, I am looking for sev eral plays that tell stories of today’s China. I don’t want to copy any country’s production. Chinese dramas have to be built on our rich culture and Chinese people’s everyday life,” Cao added.8.What do we know about the TV series?A. It was first put on overseas.B. It can be appreciated for free.C. It was very popular once it was shown.D.

It is part of its plan to trial the technology in seven UK cities. But what can we expect from the next generation of mobile technology?One thing we will see in the preparation for the test is lots of tricks with the new tech. Earlier this year, operators paid almost £1.4 billion for the 5G wavelengths, and to compensate for that cash, they will need to catch the eye of consumers. In September, V odafone used its bit of the range to display the UK’s first hologram (全息) call. The Manchester City captain Steph Houghton appeared as a hologram in Newbury. It isn’t all holograms, however: 5G will offer faster internet access. with Ofcom (英国通讯管理局) suggesting that video that takes a minute to download on 4G will be available in just a second.The wider application is to support connected equipment on the “internet of things” -not just the internet-enabled fridge that can reorder your milk for you, but the network that will enable driverless cars and delivery drones (无人机) to communicate with each other.Prof William Webb has warned that the technology could be a case of the emperor’s new clothes. Much of the speed increase, he claims, could have been achieved by putting more money inthe 4G network, rather than a new technology. Other different voices have suggested that a focuson rolling out wider rural broadband access and addressing current network coverage would bemore beneficial to the UK as a whole.Obviously, 5G will also bring a cost to consumers. It requires a handset for both 5G and 4G, and the first 5G-enabled smart phones are expected in the coming year. With the slow pace of network rollout so far, it is likely that consumers will end up upgrading to a new 5G phone well before 5G becomes widely available in the next couple of years.12. Why does Prof William Webb say “the technology could be a case of the emperor’s new clothes”?A. He is in favor of the application of the new technology.B. 5G will bring a cost to consumers in their daily life.C. 5G helps people communicate better with each other.D. He prefers more money to be spent on 4G networks.13. The underlined word “addressing” in the fourth paragraph has the closest meaning to .A. making a speech toB. trying to solveC. managing to decreaseD. responding to14. The last paragraph indicates that .A. it’ll take several years to make 5G accessible to the public in the UKB. 5G service shows huge development potential and a broad marketC. customers are eager to use 5G smart phones instead of 4G onesD. it’s probable that 5G network rollout is speeding up in Britain15. What do we know about the text?A. Vodafone is successful in spreading the 5G service.B. Steph Houghton appeared as a hologram by 4G .C. The application of 5G will make life much easier.D. 5G phones are available in rural areas of the UK.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。

Mazzini said a few people told her in advance that they couldn't make it, but she wasn't prepared for everyone to be no-shows.Mazzini shared a photo of her son sitting alone in front of several pizzas on her social media page. That brought dozens and dozens of birthday wishes from around the country, as well as other gifts and offers."I live near Tampa, Florida, and heard about you via my local news," one woman wrote on social media." I hope you have a wonderful year and I'm sending you a big hug." The biggest unexpected birthday present for Teddy came from the Phoenix Suns, who invited him to watch Wednesday night's game at the Talking Slick Resort Arena against the Los Angeles Lakers and LeBron James. The city's professional soccer club, the Phoenix Rising FC, also invited Teddy to join 7,000 of his closest friends at a playoff game on Friday.But some on social media questioned Mazzini's decision to broadcast her son's humiliating day.

About 3，000 years later, someone finally invented thebuttonhole, and buttons were suddenly useful and applied to clothes universally.Before buttons, clothes were bigger — they had no fixed shapes. People felt as if they wrapped themselves in things. Because of the buttonhole, the fashion moved closer to the body as we discovered uses for the button. At one time, ifs the very way to make clothes fit well for the body. People are completely secure.The pattern of a button hasn’t changed much since the Middle Ages.

A tiny Alaska village has experienced a boom in tourism in recent year's as polar bears spend more time on land than on Arctic sea ice.More than 2,000 people visited the northern Alaska village of Kaktovik in 2018 to see polar bears in the wild. The far north community lies in an area where increasingly higher temperature has sped up the movement of sea ice, the primary habitat(栖息地) of polar bears. As ice has gradually moved to deep water beyond the continental shelf, more bears are remaining on land to look for food.Polar bears have always been a common sight on sea ice near Kaktovik, but villagers started noticing a change in the mid-1990s. More bears seemed to stay on land, and researchers began taking note of more female bears making homes in the snow on land instead of on the ice to raise their babies. U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service biologists began hearing reports of the increasing number of polar bears in the area in the early 2000s. As more attention was given to the plight (困境)of polar bears about a decade ago, more tourists started heading to Kaktovik.The village had fewer than 50 visitors annually before 2011, said Jennifer Reed, of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. "Today we’re talking about hundreds and hundreds of visitors, many from around the world each year," Reed said. Most tourists visit in the fall, when bears are forced toward land because sea ice is farthest away from the shore. Bruce Inglangasak, a local hunter who sometimes offers wildlife-viewing tours, said been offering polar bear tours since 2004. Most of his clients(客户) are from China and Europe, as well as from the lower 48 U. S. states. Many tourists stay several days in the village, which has two small hotels. The villagers have benefited a lot from that. In turn, they provide more effective protection for polar hears with financial support from tourism development.1.What causes more polar bears to stay on land in Kaktovik?A.Food shortage.B.Climate change.C.Habitats, movement to shore.D.Their preference for land.2.How did common people feel about more sight of bears on land?A.Excited.B.Puzzled.C.Concerned.D.Shocked.3.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A.Hotels in Kaktovik are in demand in autumn.B.Kaktovik has about 50 visitors annually.C.Inglangasak makes a living as a tour guide.D.Tourism affects the balance of nature.4.Which saying can describe the text?A.The fittest can survive.B.After a storm comes a calm.C.There is always opportunity in crisis.D.Every coin has two sides.二、七选五5.The Things That Keep Us From SucceedingWe have always been told not to fear failure because it is essential to success. So we should embrace failure or at least the possibility of failure. ①______. If you're not reaching the kind of success you imagine, one or more of the following things might well be true of you, too.NO.1: You don't have a goal. A lot of time we find ourselves struggling through a day-to-day routine that isn't getting us anywhere because we don't know where we want to go. Sometimes we had goals when we set ourselves on a particular path, but we've changed along the way and those goal s are no longer that important. ②______, figuring out what your goals are is important.NO.2: You don't have a vision. Setting goals is important but isn't enough to drive you to the finish line;it's important, too, to be able to imagine yourself as the achiever of your goals. If goal s are the end result of a journey, your vision is the fuel to get you there.NO.3: You don't have a plan. If goals are your destination and a vision is your fuel, your plan is the map to get you there. ③______. The world is full of people with goals they have never accomplished because they didn't have a plan—don't be one of them.NO.4: You're too certain or not certain enough. Too much certainty creates inflexibility. If you're sure that your plan is correct, and refuse to accept the possibility of error, you may well find yourself stuck when an unexpected change comes about. However strong your plan and however sure you are of your goals, make room for periodic reassessment.④______. If you refuse to take a step because you aren't positive that it will move you towards success, you won't make any better progress than if you had no goals at all. Keep your eyes open and be willing to change, but have faith in yourself, too.NO.5: ⑤______. Often we close ourselves off from other people not because we're afraid that they will influence us but that we will influence them. We are afraid that our brilliant ideas will be taken up by someone else and no longer be solely ours. So we avoid sharing our passions, and spend our energy jealously guarding our "secret" rather than simply moving forward. In the end, we turn our passions into burdens that are difficult to carry instead of a joy.A. Whatever the caseB. Whatever the causeC. You worry about being copiedD. You don't learn from your mistakesE. At the same time, too little certainty will fail youF. However, fear isn't the only thing that keeps us from succeedingG. Without it, you have no idea what immediate steps to take to achieve your goals三、完形填空6.阅读下面短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

The unique exhibition concept is staged with state-of-the-art multimedia technology, which shows very large images of Monet’s paintings on the wall s and floors of the building．It has music, the smell of flowers, and voice-over in severallanguages to make the paintings come alive in a way never seen before．To fully get into the world of the French painter, visitors are guided through three experience rooms．Each room is a highlight on its own and provides visitors not only with an insight, but also with new experiences and new viewpoints on Monet’s life, his work and his masterpieces．Practical info·Date: from March 2024·Opening hours:Wednesday, Thursday: 10: 00 am-7: 00 pmFriday: 10: 00 am-8: 00 pmSaturday: 9: 00 am-8: 00 pmSunday: 9: 00 am-7: 00 pmMonday and Tuesday: Closed·Duration: the visit will take around 60 to 75 minutes·Location: Eglise Saint-Pholien, Rue Saint-Pholien, 4020 Liège·Please consult the FAQs of this experience here1．How does the exhibition help visitors explore Monet’s paintingsA．It uses digital technology．B．It gives lectures on art．C．It offers stages to visitors．D．It provides language services．2．What will visitors experience in the three roomsA．An exploration on French art．B．An introductory tour of painters．C．A unique journey to Monet’s world．D．An encounter withMonet-inspired artworks．3．Which of the following is a recommended visiting timeA．11: 30 am（Wed, Feb 21）．B．10: 00 am（Tue, Mar 19）．C．6: 30 pm（Thur, Mar 28）．D．4: 00 pm（Sun, Apr 7）．BThe Music Educator Award, this year, went to Annie Ray, an orchestra （管弦乐队）director at Annandale High School．She was recognized for her efforts to make music accessible to all students, particularly those with disabilities．Ray got to attend the awards ceremony in Los Angeles and bring home a $10,000 prize．Ray created the Crescendo Orchestra for students with severe intellectual and developmental disabilities, as well as a parent orchestra that teaches nearly 200 caregiver s a year to play the same instrument as their child．Ray also works with a local charity to give damaged instruments a second life in her classroom．The orchestra is about much more than just making music．The most important is to give students a chance to develop their cooperation skills, make mistakes and learn the art of refining something．Ray pushes her students to be brave, go outside their comfort zone and realize they have to learn how to make bad sounds before learning how to make good sounds．And they teach her a lot in return．“They changed my educational philosophy．I understand what it truly means to meet astudent where they’re at and apply that elsewhere,” she said．The warm reception on the ceremony was meaningful．Actually, not many people understand what exactly music educators do or how much their work matters．While her administration is supportive, that lack of understanding is a problem facing the profession in general．Another is resources．She say s her school “desperately” needs new instruments．She will use some of her prize money to buy moreRay also plans to put some of the money towards an ongoing scholarship for students who want to pursue music when they graduate．She knows of several, those particularly interested in music, and aims to offer financial support needed to realize their musical dreams．“It is hard but truly satisfying,” Ray said．“And there’s nothing else like it for them.”4．What can we learn about Ray from the first two paragraphs A．She hosted the award ceremony．B．She brought music to more people．C．She gave away instruments to the poor．D．She founded a local charity for children．5．What do students benefit most from the orchestraA．They acquire in-depth musical knowledge．B．They make friends with the like-minded．C．They gain personal growth from playing music．D．They improve their connections with educators．6．What is paragraph 4 of the text mainly aboutA．The reception on the ceremony．B．Importance of music education．C．Challenges for music educators．D．Plans to obtain resources．7．What does Ray find satisfying according to the last paragraph A．Winning a scholarship．B．Developing interest in music．C．Making musical achievements．D．Transforming dreams into reality．CAn ancient Lati n proverb says “Aquila non capit muscas” —cagles don’t hunt flies—meaning that important ones shouldn’t concern themselves with small, insignificant matters．But the lions in East Africa should concern themselves with the seemingly insignificant ants, because these ants are changing their lifestyles．The story start s with the acacia trees（金合欢树）in an African wildlife area in central Kenya．Some of these acacia trees provide food and shelter for specific an t species, which in turn defend the tree against herbivores（食草动物）．The ants are actively attacking and driving away herbivores that attempt to feed on the tree’s leaves．This is highly effective; the ants not only physically harm the herbivores but also release chemicals that can deter other potential attackers．But these ants are in trouble．Another species called the “big-headed” an t is destroying entire groups of tree-protecting ants．This, in turn, sets off an entire chain of events that ends up influencing when and howlions can hunt．This ant invasion（入侵）affects one thing after the other．It leaves the acacia trees defenseless against herbivores especially elephants．The elephants come in and eat the acacias at five to seven times the rate observed in uninvaded areas．The lions, while hunting for food, have no more trees to use for hiding．This reduced tree cover makes lions less successful at hunting and pushes them to find different areas to hunt in．“These tiny invaders are pulling on the ties that put an African ecosystem together, determining who is eaten a ndwhere,” said Todd Palmer, an ecologist from Florida．The lions, which are already endangered, are managing to cope with this by no longer focusing their attention on zebras．The zebras, of course, can see them much better on the approach given the lack of cover．Instead, they are targeting water buffalo．But this also isn’t the end of the story．Who knows what the lions’ changing strategy will mean for the ecosystem down the line8．What does the underlined word “deter” in paragraph 2mean A．Direct．B．Discourage．C．Identify．D．Seek．9．What role do the elephants play in the chain reaction A．Cooperating with “big-headed” ants．B．Damaging the hiding place for lions．C．Protecting the acacias from herbivores．D．Starting off thedisturbance of the chain．10．The author mentions lions, zebras and water buffalo to show that ______．A．animals fall victim to bigger ones B．the ecology is on the road to recoveryC．animals are corelated in the ecosystem D．species are firmly positioned in the food chain11．What is the text mainly aboutA．What ecologists find about animals．B．Why African lions are endangered．C．How tiny ants affect the way lions hunt．D．How the law of the jungle works in Africa．DAt a conference last week, I received an interesting piece of advice: “Assume you are wrong.” The advice came from Brian Nosek, a fellow psychology professor．He wasn’t objecting to any particular claim I’d made—he was offering a strategy for pursuing better science, and for encouraging others to do the same．To understand the context for Nosek’s advice, we need to take a step back—to the nature of science itself. Despite what many of us learned in elementary school, there is no single scientific method．Just as scientific theories change, so do scientific methods．Assuming you are right might be a motivating force, sustaining the enormous effort that conducting scientific work requires．But it also makes it easy to interpret criticisms as personal attacks, and for scientific arguments to develop into personal battles．Beginning, instead, from the assumption you are wrong, a criticism is easier to be viewed as a helpful pointer, a constructive suggestion for how to be less wrong—a goal that your critic probably shares．Nosek’s advice may sound pessimistic, but it’s not so foreign to science．Phi losophers of science sometimes refer to the “pessimistic meta-induction（元归纳）” on the history of science: All of our past scientific theories have been wrong, so surely our current theories will turn out to be wrong, too．That doesn’t mean we haven’t made pr ogress, but it does indicate that there is always room for improvement—ways to be less wrong．I like the advice because it builds in an awareness of our limitations anda readiness to accept the unknown（“there are things I do not know!”）along with a sense that we can do better（“there are things I do not know yet!”）．It also builds in a sense of community —we’re all in the same boat when it comes to falling short of getting things right. Perhaps the focus on a shared goal—our goal as scientists and humans of being less wrong—can help make up for any harm in scientific motivation or communication．12．Why did Nosek send the adviceA．To express opinions about my claims．B．To remind me to be open to criticism．C．To encourage me to take up science．D．To better my understanding of psychology．13．How does assuming you are wrong helpA．It motivates scientists to make efforts．B．It addresses personal attacks and conflicts．C．It sets a constructive improvement goal．D．It contributes to a deeper insight into yourself．14．What does the author think of science theories A．Dynamic．B．Testable．C．Pioneering．D．Well-established．15．Which of the following is the best title for the textA．Accept the Unknown B．Aim to Be Less WrongC．Get Engaged in Psychology D．Dig into the Nature of Science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。

山东省青岛市2022届高三4月模拟练习英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解The 14th National Games held in Xi’an has triggered great interest — not only in sports and fitness, but also in the host city itself. If you are planning a tour of Xi’an taking less than 3 days, you’ll want to hit all the following highlights.The Terracotta ArmyThe Terracotta Army is not just China’s premier historical attraction but one of the greatest discoveries of the 20th century, which was constructed by China’s First Emperor Qin Shi Huang of the Qin Dynasty (221 BC-207 BC). It is a collection of thousands of life-size terracotta soldiers, horses, and chariots (战车) in battle formation, showing the emperor’s armies in full splendor.Ancient City WallXi’an City Wall was built in the 14th century by Zhu Yuanzhang, the first Emperor of the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) as a military defense system. Now it is one of the oldest and best-preserved Chinese city walls. The wall is now a landmark, dividing the city into inner and outer areas.Giant Wild Goose PagodaOne of China’s most famous Buddhist pagodas, the Giant Wild Goose Pagoda was built in the Tang Dynasty (618-907) for the study of Buddhist scriptures. One of the main functions of the pagoda was to store sutras (经文) brought to China from India by the famous monk and traveler Xuan Zang. It was built with layers of bricks and has a grand structure and appearance. It is exemplary of traditional Chinese architecture.Shaanxi History MuseumThe Shaanxi History Museum is home to over 370,000 precious relics unearthed in Shaanxi over the years.

To Radcliffe’s surprise, Jones immediately took the senior by the hand and brought her to an empty seat in first class. “For the ENTIRE flight, I could see him checking in on her, patting her back, helping her get up, walking her (holding hands) up and down the aisle and generally ‘mother hen-ing’ her,” Radcliffe wrote on Facebook.When Radcliffe asked if he needed any help caring for the woman, Jones simply said: “I got this.” “He told me his grandmother had Parkinson’s and that he was all good, but that he very much appreciated my offer for help,” said Radcliffe. “As I sat in my seat, I literally had tears in my eyes.” Radcliffe, who works at a hospital in Marquette, Michigan, praised Jones for his kindness before she left the plane. Then, she posted the photos of Jones on Facebook where they have been shared thousands of times.As news agencies continue to pick up the story of Jones’s sympathy, the flight attendant also turned to social media to express his thankfulness for the experience. “All of the positive comments, shares, feedback, etc. have been an amazing and humbling experience for me,” wrote Jones. “And thank you to Delta for showcasing my story, which happens to be one of thousands upon thousands of the good deeds and hearts we as flight attendants perform and share every day in and out of the air.”4．How did Jones deal with the older woman?A．He followed Radcliffe’s instructions.B．He took care of her skillfully and attentively.C．He turned to doctors on the flight for help.D．He provided her with professional treatment.5．What can we learn about Radcliffe from the story?A．She assisted Jones in the caring.B．Her grandmother was a Parkinson’s sufferer.C．She has appreciable eyes for kindness.D．She contributed the story to the newspaper.6．What was Jones’s response to the comments on the internet?A．He was totally surprised.B．He believed he deserved it.C．He felt his life was disturbed.D．He thought he was somewhat overpraised.7．Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text?A．A Post Is Widely Shared on Facebook.B．Flight Attendant Takes the Senior to First Class.C．Medical Treatment Is Performed in the Air.D．Flight Attendant Gives a Hand to a Parkinson Senior.Amazing and perfectly beautiful, The Midnight Library is everything you’d expect from the genius storyteller, Matt Haig. I picked it up from our readers’ recommendations (we asked our readers to send in some of their favorite recent books) and I can see why it won Best Fiction of 2020 in the Good Reads Choice Awards.The story follows Nora Seed, a woman who is struggling and feels like nothing in her life has gone according to plan. While the initial chapters of the book are quite sad, Nora finds herself given a chance to start over in the Midnight Library, a magical place full of books of all the different paths her life could have taken. Nora is forced to stay in the library and try out different versions of her life until she finds the life she most wants to live.I loved the idea that no dream or fork in your road is insignificant, and that they all lead us to become different versions of ourselves. In one life, Nora is an Olympic swimmer. In another, she is a glaciologist living on a boat off the coast of Antarctica. The novel reveals in a beautiful way that the potential we all have within us is impossible to measure, and that we have the possibility to be happy in many different versions of life.It also discusses how dangerous it can be to live your life with regrets. The Midnight Library revealed to Nora that even if you make very different choices, you may uncover adeeper appreciation for your current home and the people in your life. It is your perspective that matters.I really loved the fantasy and magical realism in this novel, and I would love for this to be turned into a series where we get to explore The Midnight Library of other characters’ lives as well.8．What can we know about the author of the text?A．He should be an editor.B．He is the friend of Matt Haig. C．Magical realism books are his favorite.D．He shares a similar experience with Nora.9．What does The Midnight Library mainly discuss?A．A magic library.B．The harm of regret.C．The exploration of life.D．Ways to make correct choices. 10．Where can the text be found?A．In a novel.B．In a magazine.C．In a history book.D．In a biography. 11．What is the purpose of the text?A．To thank readers who introduced the book.B．To honour Matt Haig, the author of the book.C．To share the author’s opinions on the book.D．To publicize the book to people who are struggling.Think back to when you were in a maths classroom, and the teacher set a difficult problem. Which of the two following responses is closer to the way you reacted?A: Oh no, this is too hard for me. I’m not even going to seriously try and work it out.B: Ah, this is quite tricky, but I like to push myself. Even if I don’t get the answer right, maybe I’ll learn something in the attempt.Early in her career, the psychologist Carol Dweck of Stanford University gave a group of ten-year-olds problems that were slightly too hard for them. One group reacted positively and loved the challenge. She says they had a ‘growth mindset’ and are focused on what they can achieve in the future. But another group of children felt that their intelligence was being judged and they had failed. They had a ‘fixed mindset’ and were unable to imagine improving. Some of them looked for someone who had done worse than them to boost their self-esteem.Professor Dweck believes that there is a problem in education at the moment. For years,children have been praised for their intelligence or talent, but this makes them vulnerable(脆弱的) to failure. They become performance-oriented, wanting to please by getting high grades, but they are not interested in learning for its own sake. The solution, according to Dweck, is to lead them to become mastery-oriented (i.e., interested in getting better at something). She claims that the ever-lasting effort over time is the key to outstanding achievement.Psychologists have been testing these theories. Underperforming school children on a Native American reservation were exposed to growth mindset techniques for a year. The results were nothing less than incredible. They came top in regional tests, beating children from much more privileged backgrounds. These children had previously felt that making an effort was a sign of stupidity, but they came to see it as the key to learning.12．What can we learn about a person if his answer is closer to “B”?A．He is performance-oriented.B．He tends to set limits to his life.C．He enjoys the process and focuses on the future.D．He boosts his self-esteem by comparing with others.13．Which of the following suggestions will Professor Dweck give to parents and teachers? A．To reward children for their high grades.B．To emphasize the importance of intelligence.C．To ignore the result brought by failure.D．To praise children for their engagement in the process.14．What does “These children” in the last paragraph refer to?A．Children showing no interest in learning.B．Children who use fixed mindset techniques.C．Children from much more privileged backgrounds.D．Underperforming school children on a Native American reservation.15．Why does the author write the text?A．To distinguish growth mindset and fixed mindset.B．To inform readers of the importance of growth mindset.C．To show several psychological study results.D．To point out a problem in education at the moment.二、七选五Whether it’s painting, or sculpting tiny cupcakes out of clay, making art is good for your mind and body. ____16____ But you don’t have to be a full-time artist to get those health benefits.
