They had cleaned yards, set tables, and washed dishes. They couldn’t wait to go shopping. I watched as they rushed in the supermarket aisles (过道). At last we headed toward the checkout, pushing a cart filled with food. Then Kristine cried. “Flowers!” The group rushed toward the plants.“You can’t eat flowers.” I responded. “Why not us e the money to buy more food ” “But Mrs Sherlock.” she begged. “we want flowers.”Defeated, I looked at the flowers. Stuck in the middle of the display was a pot of purple flowers. “She’ll like this one,” the children agreed, and put the purple plant into the cart.An agency had given us the address of a needy grandmother. Soon we pulled up in front of a small house. The children hurried to get the food. When Amy put the flowers on the counter, the woman seemed surprised. “Do you like it ” Michael asked. Th e old lady brightened. She told the children about the animals that lived close by.We returned to the car. As we fastened our seat belts, we could see the kitchen window. The woman inside waved goodbye, then turned and walked across the room, straight to the flowers. She put her face in them. When she raised her head, there was a smile on her lips.The children were quiet. In that brief moment, they had seen the power they possessed to make another’s life better.

The three pieces already released were all written with ink, according to the Nanchang Evening News.Based on the analysis by Zhang Yuzheng, an expert at Beijing Union University, the relics may be the oldest original copies of senior official documents in the Han Dynasty (BC 206-AD 220), which have great value for the study of ancient official documents.Among the three publicly released relics, two of them remain fairly intact with exact date information, though the handwriting is partly damaged. Chinese characters meaning “concubine (妾)” and “Haihunhou He” can be seen on the relics, which show that they were written by the Marquis of Haihun Liu He and his concubine.Zhang Yuzheng suggested that according to Haushu, the documents presented to the imperial court should be in two copies, with the original copy submitted to the emperor and the copy to the minister. The minister would first review the contents and then decide whether it was appropriate to be submitted to the emperor. The system was ended during the reign of Emperor Hanxuan in the Han Dynasty. The unearthed relics from Haihunhou tomb are believed to have been written on the fourth year of Yuankang during the reign of Emperor Hanxun when the system was already ended.Therefore, Zhang holds that the unearthed relics written with date information “fourth year of Yuankang” were very likely the original copies of official documents, instead of copies.The whole structure and content are also complete, the handwriting isquite neat, and the format (格式) is strict, consistent with the features of an original copy, according to Zhang.8．What can we know about the three released relicsA. They were official documents by senior officials.B. They proved to be the oldest documents in the Han Dynasty.C. They were recognized as Liu He and his concubine’s handwriting.D. They were publicly released as early as on the fourth year of Yuankang.9．Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word “intact” in paragraph 3A. Complete.B. Meaningful.C. Organized.D. Reliable.10．What does paragraph 4 mainly talk aboutA. The valuable relics kept until today.B. How the relics were presented to the imperial court.C. What information should be included in the official document.D. Something about document presentation system in the Han Dynasty. 11．In which section of a newspaper may this text appearA. Entertainment.B. Sports.C. Health.D. History.Do you use the weekends to catch up on sleep If so, you may want to rethink that. in young adults, using weekends to catch up for lost weekday sleep can cause health risks. The take-home message is basically that you can’t make up for lost sleep by sleeping a few morehours on weekends.Weekends may seem like a great time to catch up on sleep. Scientists, however, weren’t sure that would work. So Christopher Depner and his colleagues decided to test it out. Depner is a sleep physiologist. He works at the University of Colorado, Boulder.The team looked at three groups of people in their mid-20s. For roughly two weeks, each group followed a set sleep schedule. One group slept about eight hours every night. Another group only got about five hours of shut-eye a night. The third group snoozed (打盹) some five hours each weeknight, but could sleep whenever and however much they wanted over the weekend. That last group stayed up until midnight or I am on Friday and Saturday nights. The following mornings, they slept in until sometime between 11 am and noon. But they also stayed up late on Sunday. That left them only about six hours of snooze tine before the next workweek started. Over the whole weekend, these people got only about 1.1 hours more sleep than what their bodies needed, the researchers found.People in the study who got too little sleep every night gained weight. So did the weekend sleep-in crowd. By the end of the experiment, people in both groups had gained an average of 1.5 kilograms.Depner says this could be because losing sleep interferes with hormones that control hunger. Since weekend-catch-up sleepers both woke uplater and went to bed later, they shifted (改变) their bodies’ internal clocks. As a result, they may have gotten hungry later. During the workweeks, both groups ate roughly 400 to 650 calories in late-night snacks.12．Why did the team carry out the researchA. To help promote a healthy lifestyle.B. To find a proper time for sleep on weekends.C. To make improvements for the people who stay up.D. To find out the disadvantages of losing sleep.13．What is Depner’s opinion on sleeping more hours on weekendsA. It can’t make up for the lost sleep.B. People should pay much attention to it.C. More research is needed for the effects.D. It is supposed to benefit those in need of sleep.14．Why did people who got too little sleep every night gin weight easilyA. They ate more than what their bodies needed.B. Their bodies’ internal clocks were shifted.C. They always felt hungry on weekends.D. They had a good appetite on weekdays.15．What message does the author want to convey in the textA. Staying up leads to weight gain.B. Young adults should eat regularly.C. Sleeping in on weekends won’t work.D. Finding new ways to sleepwell is essential.二、七选五16．Studying abroad can be a great opportunity to meet new people and to experience an unfamiliar and exciting culture by yourself.

Last month, it briefly reached No.3 on the country’s top 50 albums chart (排行榜) —ahead of Taylor Swift.Anthony Albrecht, a PhD student at Charles Darwin University, produced the album with Professor Stephen Garnett. “I knew it was a crazy thing to suggest. But Stephen’s a little bit crazy like me and he let me do it,” Albrecht said.Songs Of Disappearance was published with a university report which found that 1 in 6 Australian bird species are now threatened. The album records 53 of those species.“Some sing what you might think of as bird songs, but not all of them,” said Sean Dooley, who represents the conservation organization Birdlife Australia. “Songs from the golden bowerbird sound like a death cry from some sci-fi series. And the love songs from Christmas Island frigatebird, which has a piece of skin hanging under its mouth that canThere’s also the Christmas Island pigeon. When people hear that pigeon, they might think that it’s a human making silly noises, Dooley added.The Charles Darwin University and Birdlife Australia report does document successes in protecting endangered birds, the hope being that the album will protect more species.“The increased awareness can make a difference,”Dooley said. “When we have a community on board, that brings pressure to the government to do the right thing. We know that these conservation actions do work.”4．Whose album reached No.1 on the chart in December?A. Taylor Swift’s.B. Adele Adkins’.C. Ed Sheeran’s.D. Anthony Albrecht’s.5．What can be learned from the university report?A. About 53 bird species are threatened in Australia.B. It has not found success in protecting endangered birds.C.

Beautiful.C. Loud.D. Sharp.7．What does Sean Dooley think of Anthony Albrecht’s project?A. Crazy.B. Amusing.C. Uncreative.D. Helpful.The first wave of concerns over artificial intelligence (AI) in 2023 appeared soon after New Year’s Day when classrooms reopened and schools fro m Seattle to Paris started blocking ChatGPT, a powerful software based on Al large language models, because teenagers were using it to do their homework.The AI large language models behind such products as ChatGPT work by repeatedly guessing the next word in a sentence after having “learned” the rules from a huge amount of human-written works. Although they often get facts wrong, their answers appear so natural that even their inventors begin to worry about their possible use for spreading false information.People became more worried when various AI products started to create not just texts but novel images, music and human voices, which threatened the livelihoods of anyone who writes, draws or sings for a living. It led to strikes by Hollywood writers and actors and legal challenges from artists and bestselling authors. Some of the most respected scientists even warned that the technology’s unchecked progress was possibly threatening human existence.“In the longer term, they might manage our attention,” pioneering AI scientist Fei Fei Lisaid. “They would tell us which video to watch, which book to read or whose communication to respond as AI technology’s abilities improve rapidly. They could be a very good assistant, but also with really big risks.”Li hoped that 2023 is going to be a year for people to think about what AI is, how to use it and what the effects are—all the good, the bad and the ugly.“It’s easy to forget that they are not the first wave of AI products. Computer vision techniques developed by Li and other scientists have helped sort through a huge database of photos to recognize objects and individual faces and guide self-driving cars. Speech recognition advances have made voice assistants like Siri and Alexa a normal thing in many people’s lives,” said Tom Gruber, co-founder of Siri Inc.8．Why did schools try to stop their students from using ChatGPT?A.

AI’s fast developments.10．What would Tom Gruber most probably suggest people do?A. Think carefully about AI’s impact.B. Welcome AI technology.C. Do use ChatGPT more carefully.D. Upgrade ChatGPT in time.11．Where is the text most probably taken from?A. A news report.B. A guidebook to a software.C. A product review.D. An introduction to a person.A study published Tuesday in the journal Psychonomic Bulletin& Review found that words expressing angry feelings sound ali ke in several unrelated languages. They’re less likely than other words to include the sounds L, R, W or Y. And more friendly versions of such words often have these sounds added. The finding suggests that certain rules may link the world’s languages, no matter how different they are.Ryan McKay, co-author of the paper, happened to discover that some of the English curses (诅咒语) seem to have something in common: They’re often short and include the sounds B, P, T or K. Then Dr. McKay teamed up with his colleague Shiri Lev-Ari to learn whether these rules went beyond English.During the experiment, they asked fluent speakers of Arabic, Korean, German and Spanish to list the worst words they could think of. Once they’d made a list of each language’s most commonly used curses, the researchers compared these with neutral (中性的) words from the same language. To their surprise, the rules still apply.Next, the scientists asked the same people to listen to pairs of invented words, such as “yog” and “tsog” and guess which word in each pair was a curse. The subjects were more likely to guess that words without L, R, W and Y, such as “tsog”, were curses.Finally, the researchers looked through the dictionary for English curses and their cleaned-up versions. Once again, the cleaned-up versions included more of the sounds L, R, W and Y.“Most 20th-century language scientists held that any word could have any meaning,”said Dr. McKay. “With curses, though, the sounds themselves seem to carry meaning. This can shape and change our understanding of how languages are formed.”“It is the first time for researchers to study curses across languages and the finding is very interesting,” said Benjamin Bergen, a language scientist at the University of California,who was not involved in the study. “But it is just another case of what’s called sound symbolism in the language study: A word sounds like what it means.”12．Which word is most probably an uncleaned-up curse according to the text?A. Rucy.B. Buk.C. Yayad.D. Walawala.13．What did the researchers do in their last step?A. Applying their study to more unrelated languages.B. Studying the neutral words and curses side by side.C. Asking people to listen to pairs of non-existing words.D. Comparing English curses with their friendly versions.14．What did Benjamin Bergen mean?A. The study method is really unscientific.B. It will change our understanding in a way.C. It is not a totally new discovery at all.D. The selected languages are too limited.15．What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?A. To introduce a newly published study.B. To prove the unique rules in English.C. To tell another way of memorizing words.D. To show how to use more friendly curses.二、七选五16．Walking might seem simple. “But it’s not,” explains Peggy Cawthon, a professor at Harvard Medical School. “It’s an amazingly complex behavior when we try to understand how to improve our lives as we age.”① ? Here are a few ideas.Don’t stop exercisingCawthon agrees that the worst thing a person can do is to stop exercising. “You’ll feel the effects almost immediately,” says Cawthon. Sitting for hours leaves her uncomfortable, and it’s the days when she types that her arthritis (关节炎) doesn’t cause much pain. ② .Train yourself to walk with skillTo truly improve your walking, you need to think like an athlete. Imagine you want to play tennis, but you have a bad backhand. Playing lots of tennis won’t fix the problem, Cawthon says. ③. It’s the same thing with walking.Give your brain a boost (激励)④. So don’t forget that when working out your fitness plan. Cawth on has been studying an area of the brain related to motivation (动机) and executive function. Subjects with a boost walk more steps on average than the control group, and they have been maintaining that even several months later.⑤______So when should we face the music about our mobility? There is no final answer for when walking problems begin to come up. “You should be as active as you can at any age,”Cawth on says, noting that people who are healthy in their 20s and 30s are best equipped to deal with future age-related challenges. “The best time to start is now. Next best is tomorrow,” she says.A. Start planning nowB. Be in pretty good shapeC. You need to improve your skillD. So what steps should we take to do it rightE. How can you sweat your way to good healthF. It is a helpful reminder that our bodies need actionG.

高一下学期英语开学考试试卷一、阅读理解1. 阅读理解In many big cities, a lot of old people keep birds, cats, dogs and other animals in their houses. These animals are friendly to the old people and never leave them. So the old people love them and see them as their good friends or families.It’s not difficult to keep these lovely animals at home. But you have to take them to animal hospitals to give them needles , so they won’t get ill or they will make people ill. Now there are lots of animal food stores here and there. People can buy good animal food for their animals there. Old people can buy animal food on the phone or on the Internet. But it’s a little more expensive.Sometimes it’s kind of dirty and dangerous to keep animals. They sometimes look dirty and smell terrible and can be dangerous. For example, an old woman in Shanghai lost her life on the street for her pet dog.Maybe old people in big cities have many reasons to keep these nice and clever animals. They may feel lonely when their children leave. And these pets can be their great helpers. They are their good friends and help them in many things.（1）Old people love these animals because they are _________.A . nice and lovelyB . can be great helpersC . are not difficult to keepD . are friendly to them（2）If people don’t give the animals needles, the animals may ________.A . be illB . run awayC . not eat foodD . make people unhappy（3）What does the passage mainly talk about?A .

Ours was a lot of fun. We have seen so many new things and met so many wonderful people. The French gave us a warm welcome and helped us get used to living here soon. We have so many things to share with all of you. We are going to send you more emails, but here are the best parts of our holiday in France so far.We had a fantastic time seeing the Tour de France this summer. It is the most famous bicycle race in the world. The riders travel more than two thousand miles in about a month! We got a quick look at the riders as they sped past! After the race, our family rented bikes, and rode along part of the route that the cyclists used.A few of you asked whether the French really eat snails. The answer is yes. We went out to dinner the other day, and our parents ordered some. We each tried one and it didn’t taste too bad. The snails, called escargots, are served with lots of butter. They feel a little rubbery when you bite into them, but they don’t really have much taste. Mum’s favourite food here is the French pastries. Dad loves the red wine. Our favourite is the fresh bread from the shop down the street.We went to visit the Eiffel Tower a few weeks ago. We went all the way to the top. It was a sunny day, so we could see for miles and miles into the distance. Dad doesn’t like heights, so he stayed at the bottom of the tower and took pictures from the ground.We miss all of you a lot. Write back to us and let us know what is new at home.Au revoir!Wendy and Jack Brown（1）What do the Browns think of French people?A . Friendly.B . Funny.C . Welcome.D .

But do you know that understanding differences can help you better manage your money?As we grow up, we gradually develop a set of our own values or beliefs. These are influenced by society, our family, the education we receive and so on. Once this value system is set up, it’s not easy to change later in life.Financial experts say that everyone also has their own belief of how to manage their finances. This is part of our value system and it has a great impact on the way we look after our money.According to our different values, experts put us in three categories. They are: the ant, the cricket and the snail.The ant—works firstJust like ants who work heart and soul in summer in order to store food for winter, these people don’t care about enjoying the moment. They work very hard and save money they earn so that they can enjoy life when they get old and retire. The ant loves to save but they could make more out of their money if they were willing to invest in some funds and stocks with low risk.The cricket—fun firstThe cricket wants to enjoy everything now and doesn’t think too much about the future. They even borrow money when they really want something. Many young people now belong to this group. These people have little savings. When they get old, they might have problems. They should learn to save and buy insurance.The snail—lives under pressureThe snail refers to people who make life difficult for themselves. They take big long-term loans from the bank in order to buy things such as luxury houses. They are happy to take big loans even though they are not sure they can afford it. This can cause problems in the future. They should plan more carefully.（1）People with the character of the snail would like to _______.A . enjoy life at the moment without thinking much about the futureB . live a luxury life at all costsC . put work before everything else.D . take the risk of investing a large sum of money（2）Our beliefs and values are affected by the following except ______.A . societyB . moneyC . educationD . our family（3）This passage mainly talks about _______.A . the reaction between man and insectsB . the problems with dealing with moneyC . the insects in natureD . the spending nature of people （4）Which of the following has the character that the author prefers?A . The antsB . The cricketC . The snailD . None of the above4. 阅读理解My students often tell me they don’t have “enough time” to do all their schoolwork. My reply is often brief—You have as much time as the president. I usually carry on a bit about there being 24 hours in the day for everyone, and suggest that “not enough time” is not an acceptable explanation of not getting something done.Once in graduate school, I tried to excuse myself to one of my professors by saying that I was working hard. His answer to me was, “That’s irrelevant. What’s important is the quality of your work.” Since then I have had time to think about th e “hard worker” dodge , and I have come to some conclusions — all relevant to the issue of how much time we have.If you analyze the matter, you can identify two parts of the problem: There is, of course, the matter of “time”, which we can think of as fix ed. Then there is the problem of “work” during that time. But, as my professor suggested, it’s not how hard one works but the quality of the product that is important.That led me to a new idea: the quality of the work. That concept is perhaps best explai ned by a sign I once saw on the wall in someone’s office---Don’t work harder but work smarter. There’s a lot of sense in that idea.If you can’t get more time, and few of us can, the only solution is to improve the quality of the work. That means thinking of ways to get more out of the same time than we might otherwise get. That should lead us to an analysis of our work habits. Since “work” for students usually means“homework”, the expression “work habits” should be read as “study habits”.Then, as a smart student, you will seek to improve those skills that you use in study, chiefly reading and writing. If you learn to read better and write better, there are big benefits that pay off in all your studies.（1）From the passage, we know that the author is ______ .A . a poetB . a editorC . an educatorD . an director（2）We can infer from the first two paragraph that we students _____ .A . have enough timeB . can meet the presidentC . get something done wellD . should accept the explanation（3）The underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 means_________.A . That is impossibleB . That is not acceptableC . That is unbearableD . That is not important（4）The main purpose of writing the passage is to give_______.A . adviceB . encouragementC . criticismD . information二、完形填空5. 完形填空One evening, Mr. Green was driving in his car along a lonely country road.

The Happy Ranch Horse Farm organizes horse rides through the countryside passing wheat fields and small towns, wooden huts, open air markets and cooking outside over a fire. Price for a horse ride is US 12 per person.Cooking classIf you enjoy local food, taking a cooking class could be fun. Several restaurants offer classes, which start with a visit to a local market to buy fresh ingredients (原料) . Wearing a cook's hat, children can help washing and cutting. Prices for a 3 hours class start at US $13 per person.Hot air balloonA hot air balloon ride will give you great views of the city. The balloon goes up about 200 meters if weather conditions are OK, less if conditions are windy. The balloon will stay at that altitude for about 10 minutes. Prices are US S20 for an adult, half price for children. Ceramics classA fun activity for kids is taking a ceramics class at the Fine Arts Center.

He didn't expect to see many people, but a couple of students met him and showed him around."When I looked at the history of the university and how people are devoted to the school's art programs, I was honored by the chance to work there. I could not wait for the next day to start my job. And that excitement never changed because every day was different. My job as dean was not scheduled. I walked around the campus and students talked to me. I went to rehearsals (排演) by the students and teachers and got inspired by them, "he adds.After nearly three decades as the Dean of Music at Yale, the 77-year-old retired from the position on Aug 31.Also an expert pianist, he remains a professor of piano at the music school, as well as professor of leadership strategies at Yale School of Management. Among his countless contributions as dean, Blocker developed long-term relationships with fellow musicians in China. He once toured cities, including Shenzhen, Shanghai and Hangzhou, giving lectures to the youngsters."China is a very special place for me. I am very happy to be back after the pandemic (疫情) to meet my friends and colleagues, "Blocker says, adding that he is particularly excited about being with young students.Yang Suxian, director of the Shenzhen Piano Music Festival, says, "He has been very supportive and has participated in the Shenzhen Piano Music Festival for years, even during the pandemic."Blocker's vision of a more hopeful world is reflected in his belief that music bridges the understanding between people."Music brings hope. People may speak different languages and have different ideas but music speaks to each other's heart, and that's why we keep this work going on and why the work never ends, " he says, "Our job is to let music heal the world by allowing us to understand and find a common place in our hearts."4．How did Robert Blocker feel after being appointed as the university's Dean?A.Anxious.B.Thrilled.C.Terrified.D.Challenged.5．What is included in Robert Blocker's work at Yale?A.Teaching leadership skills.B.Reviving art programs of the school.C.Giving concerts when touring cities in China.anizing rehearsals for students and teachers.6．What is the author's purpose in mentioning Yang Suxian's words?A.To advertise the festival in Shenzhen.B.To stress Robert's preference for music.C.To review the hardships during the pandemic.D.To show Robert's care about Chinese musicians.7．What do we know about musicians' job from the last paragraph?A.Spreading music to the whole world.B.Translating music into a common language.C.Helping people to reach an agreement on music.D.Guiding people to know themselves better through music.Handwritten Chinese characters (文字) can be beautiful. I still remember looking at Chinese and not understanding anything it said and yet feeling a strong attraction. In fact, some students start learning Chinese because of the characters. After having studied Chinese for a while, I realized that handwriting in Chinese takes a very long time to learn.Living as we do in a digital era (数字时代) with smartphones and computers, most students sooner or later ask themselves this question: Is it really necessary to learn how to write by hand in Chinese? When using smartphones or computers, we can use phonetic input (语音输入) systems, which choose the characters we want for us as long as we can remember how they are pronounced. Since we enter different characters, we seldom need to be able to recognize the difference between characters in detail; the computer makes the right choices for us. Do we really need to write Chinese by hand at all?I think most people agree that you should learn to write at least some characters at some point as a student of Chinese, although not necessarily straight away and not necessarily all the characters that you can say. But unless you don’t care about written language at all, you should learn the basics of handwriting. Without it, it will be very hard to understand characters. You don’t need to be a calligraphy master (书法大师), but you do need basic handwriting skills to do this. Simply looking at things is, as usual, a bad way of learning.I think learning the most common 500 characters or so is a good idea for all students. If you actually want to write by hand, increase that to 1, 000. Then learn to handwrite characters outside of the 1, 000 most common on a need-to-know basis.8．What does the author think of Chinese characters?A. They are less communicative than English words.B. They attract some foreigners to learn Chinese.C. They show the greatness of Chinese culture.D. They are not really that difficult.9．What can we infer about characters in Paragraph 2?A. Characters are very difficult for foreigners to learn.B. People believe learning to write characters is important.C. People doubt the necessity of learning to write characters.D. Characters may disappear with the development of society.10．What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A. Understanding characters.B. Being a calligraphy master.C. Keeping a good learning habit.D. Learning basic handwriting skills.11．What’s the author’s attitude to learning to write characters in the digital age?A. Uncaring.B. Worried.C. Supportive.D. Surprised.Dragons, a famous imaginary beast born from fantasy, are often present in stories in the west and east. In both cultures, dragons are generally recognized as massive creatures capable of flight. They have great power and are often associated with magical abilities. However, due to their different cultural roots and images, there exist significant differences in the way dragons are regarded in the west and east, particularly in China.Chinese dragons most resemble snakes, and have four claws and no wings. They often have features of other animals, including carp, tigers, and eagles. In the contrast, Western dragons look like huge lizards with big claws and large bat-like wings, and are often shown with spines or rough scales.In traditional Chinese culture, a dragon is a symbol of luck, power and high status. They can cause weather changes and bring rainfall to the fields to ensure rich harvests. They are considered divine(神圣的) creatures, which hold an important position as the head of the four spirits. Therefore, to symbolize their power, ancient Chinese emperors decorated their clothes with dragon patterns. These clothes are known as dragon robes. Many Chinese view the dragon as a national symbol, proudly referring to themselves as "descendants of the dragon". In the west, however, a dragon symbolizes an evil creature that spreads violence and terror throughout the land. They are believed to be transformed by the devil, with the ability tobreathe fire or spit poison. Many western tales show dragons being defeated and killed to protect people from danger.Today, dragons continue to evolve, exceeding traditional boundaries and finding new significance in global culture. They are no longer associated with evil or good, but rather as complex characters with their own unique personalities and motivations. For example, Toothless from How to Train Your Dragon begins as a dangerous dragon but evolves into a misunderstood being with love and compassion. This challenges the idea of dragons as naturally evil, presenting them as complex beings with emotions and motivations. 12．What do western dragons and eastern dragons have in common?A.They have rough skin.B.They are huge and powerful.C.They are in the shape of snakes.D.They have big claws and wings.13．What do we know from paragraph 3?A.Western dragons are a symbol of authority.B.Dragons in China can protect people from danger.C.Chinese dragons can control rainfall and breathe fire.D.Dragons are believed to cause chaos in western culture.14．What is new about dragons in today's global culture?A.They are regarded as adventurous creatures.B.They are closely associated with evil or good.C.They have more diverse emotions and personalities.D.They tend to represent human spirits facing challenges.15．Which of the following is the best title for the text?A.The Dragon Elements in Global CultureB.The Origin of Dragons in Chinese HistoryC.The Magical Animals in Different CountriesD.The Images of Dragons in Western Traditions二、七选五16．Food plays an essential role in our lives and rightfully so: The food we eat is related to our culture. ①_______. Don’t believe me? Here’s why food is the best way to understanda culture:②_______It doesn’t matter where you’re from— you have to eat. Your social culture most likely developed from the need to eat. Once they surpassed hunting and gathering, many earlycivilizations organized themselves in ways that promoted food distribution and production. That also meant that the animals, land and resources you were near governed what you’d consume and how you’d prepare and cook it.Food preservation techniques are unique to climates and lifestyles.Ever wonder why the process to preserve meat is so different around the world? ③_______. In Morocco, if preserved correctly, Khlea, a dish, is still good for two years when stored at room temperature. That makes much sense in Morocco, which has had a strong nomadic(游牧的) population, desert landscape, and extremely warm, dry temperatures.The main local cuisines illustrate historical eating patterns.Some societies have cuisines that are entirely based on meat, and others are almost entirely plant-based.India’s cuisine is extremely varied from region to region, with meat and wheat heavy dishes in the far north, to spectacular fish delicacies in the east, to rice-based vegetarian diets in the south. ④_______.Food tourism.⑤_______. A food tourist won’t just focus on having a pint at Oktoberfest, but will be interested in learning the German beer making process, and possibly how they can make their own fresh beer. Since their interest in food is more than meal deep, the tourists have the chance to learn local preparation techniques that can lead to other aspects of a particular region’s culture.A. Food affects the civilizationB. Food is a universal necessityC. And the western part is home to strict vegetariansD. Some people have a trip just for enjoying the foodE. It has to do with local resources, needs, and climatesF. You can learn much about a particular culture by exploring their foodG. Some people have taken the combination of food and culture to a new level三、完形填空（15空）On May 12, 2008, a deadly earthquake rocked 23-year-old Liao Zhi's apartment building in Sichuan, causing it to fall down.her daughter and both her legs."How are you still laughing at this point?

She likes games, playing house and her favorite class is gym. But she has been learning to overcome some difficulties since she was born. Arthrogryposis multiplex congenita (AMC) is a condition that limits her ability to fully extend(伸展) her arms and legs. She has had fiveoperations."She can’t run but she can walk really fast, but there are just certain things she wishes she could do," said Stella's mother, Kim Malpass. One of those things is going to the restroom on her own." This is the one thing in school she needs help with," Kim said, "she can do just about everything on her own but she just isn't able to pull her pants up."Jodi Carroll, Stella's doctor for two years had been trying to find a solution, but had no luck reaching out to clothing companies. "After many searches I realized we needed to invent something," Carroll said. She then got in touch with the Petoskey High School drafting team, and no doubt they were all in."As soon as I told the students about it they supported me and we went to work right away," Lauren Liebler, the school’s engineering teacher, says. Students say it was the perfect project for the students, combining brainstorming, design thinking, problem-solving and tests.Once Stella tried the device(装置), it was kind of a disappointment to find out that the first one didn't work, but then it was just the matter of coming up with the next idea or seeing how they could improve the first one to make it work. After three tests, the class’s 3D-prinled tool worked.Liebler says the class can use its 3D printing technology to continue to work and grow with Stella. They can even print different colors to match her dresses.4. What caused Stella’s physical condition?A. An illness from her birth.B. An accident in an operation.C. A serious traffic accident.D. A fire she experienced at six.5. What difficulty did Stella have at school?A. Walking fast.B. Learning math well.C. Taking a gym class.D. Going to the toilet by herself.6. What can we know about Jodi Carroll?A. She runs a clothing company on her own.B. She is good at designing dresses for children.C. She manages to help Stella recover completely.D. She gets the idea of making something new to help Stella.7. What did the students think of the project?A. Hard and dangerous.B. Easy but useful.C. Useful and difficult.D. Useless but funny.CMany of us have had this annoying experience: You are waiting at a bus station when someone nearby begins to smoke a cigarette. You frown and move, but it seems that there isn't much you can do about it.The situation is changing now, as in Beijing, a new ban is set to fight against smoking. Seen as the toughest anti-smoking regulation in China's history, the law makes smoking in Beijing locations such as offices, restaurants, hotels and hospitals punishable by fines.Businesses that fail to rein in smoking can be fined up to 10,000 yuan and repeat offenders could have their licenses revoked(吊销).Individual smokers themselves can be fined up to 200 yuan. As well as indoor smoking, the law prohibits lighting up in some open-air spaces close to schools, hospitals, and sports stadiums. Tobacco advertisements are not allowed to appear outdoors.Health commission inspectors will be in charge, carrying out spot checks and acting on tip-offs from the public—posters in the capital advertise a hotline number, and the city government has launched a social media account allowing observers to upload images of smokers caught in the act."Since previous anti-smoking laws have been poorly carried out, we don't expect it will be entirely smooth running," said Bernhard Schwartlaender, the WHO's representative in China. "The key point is enforcement(强制实行).""I don't think you can just rely on policy," Yang Gonghuan, deputy head of the Chinese Association on Tobacco Control, said of the law. "Parents and teachers who smoke have a strong influence on children. Smoking scenes in films and TV programmes also make young people wrongly connect tobacco use with glamour(魅力) and a cool image."8. The best title for the passage is probably _______.A.No more smoking, BeijingB.Anti-smoking movementC.Fight against indoor smokersD.Get rid of tobacco in China9. What does the underlined phrase "rein in" in the third paragraph probably mean?A.Promote.B.Control.C.Advocate.D.Quit.10. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A.There used to be some anti-smoking laws in the past.B.Experts are positive about the new anti-smoking law.C.Beijing is the first city in China to produce a ban on smoking.D.The most effective way to ban smoking is to get smokers fined.11. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that _______.A.family members arc the decisive factorB.teachers hold the key to fighting against smokingcation matters in discouraging people from smokingD.media are responsible for the failure of banning smokingDThe old Chinese saying "as happy as spending the New Year" might be outdated (过时的) now in the busy modem world. The Spring Festival is regarded as the most important festival for Chinese people and an occasion for all family members to get together, like Christmas in the West. But many traditional customs accompanying the Spring Festival, however, have weakened in practice.Setting off fireworks was once the most typical custom of the Spring Festival. People thought the sputtering(噼啪) sound could help drive away evil spirits. However, the activity has been completely or partially forbidden in big cities for years as the government has taken security, noise and pollution factors into consideration."In recent years, some cities have begun to allow people to light fireworks for limited hours during the Spring Festival, surrendering to public demand. Respecting folk traditions is a gesture of respect toward public opinion," said Zhou Xing, a folklore researcher."As people gain more income and it becomes easier to buy daily goods, the New Year holiday is just like any other. After long workdays, many people use the New Year holiday to take a rest, rather than visiting friends and neighbors. The process of making and enjoying the family dinner on New Year's Eve is the most important thing. However, many families would like to eat out to save time and energy," said Li Shunzhi, a resident of Harbin, Heilongjiang."I enjoy the holidays very much in the countryside. My family has been preparing for the Spring Festival more than two weeks before the holiday, cleaning the house, buying holiday goods and decorating the house with paper cuttings. On New Year's Eve, the whole family stays up to see the New Year in, and in the days to follow, a series of activities such as lion dancing, dragon lantern dancing, lantern festivals and temple fairs will be held. Without the ancient traditions, the holiday is nothing to us," said Zhang Hui, from Hebei.12. Which of the following is WRONG according to the passage?A.Setting off fireworks has been forbidden in some big cities for years.B.Nowadays, people can light fireworks in some cities during the Spring Festival.C.People believe that the sound of fireworks can drive away evil spirits.D.In the past, setting off fireworks couldn't be seen almost anywhere.13. What Li Shunzhi said implies__________.A.what people do during the festival now is different from the pastB.people would like to have the family dinner on New Year's EveC.people prefer to visit friends and neighbors rather than take a restD.the New Year holiday is just like any other day14. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A.Zhang Hui often spends two weeks preparing for the Spring Festival.B.Zhang Hui is used to spending the Spring Festival with his family.C.Zhang Hui always takes part in a series of activities after the Spring Festival.D.Zhang Hui lives in the urban area.15. What does the whole passage mainly talk about?A.The Spring Festival is as lively as before.B.The Spring Festival is outdated now.C.The Spring Festival is losing its qualities.D.The Spring Festival in China is more important than Christmas in the West.其次节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）依据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

If boys want to cook or to sew, they can learn these things in classes that are no longer just for girls. If girls want to repair cars, they can now learn this in school. Most students like to have boys and girls on the same baseball team.Many boys and girls dress alike in school. They wear blue jeans and sport shirts. Some have long hair and some have short hair. Sometimes a boy has longer hair than a girl.Even the language is different. Students learn to say fire fighter instead of fireman, police officer instead of policeman, and letter carrier instead of mailman. A person does not need to be a man to fight a fire or to deliver the mail.Most people think that these changes are great.

Suzhou classical gardens are parts of China's precious cultural heritage (遗产) (all the 9 gardens are on the list of World Cultural Heritage) as well as a necessary part of the life of Suzhou citizens, not to mention they are also world-famous tourism resorts (胜地). In fact, their unique historical and cultural background serves to contribute to their ranking among national parks.The earliest classical gardens in Suzhou can date back to the Song Dynasty. However, the gardens impress their visitors not only with their age-old history but also with their delicate scenes, particularly Canglang Pavilion, Zhuozheng Garden, Lion Grove and Liu Garden, the most famous four that represent different styles of dynasties of Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing.In 1978, an imitation〔仿造物〕 of a Suzhou classical garden was set up by Chen Congzhou (the author of the book Suzhou Classical Gardens) in the City Museum of Art in New York, US, which was the first time ever to directly introduce Chinese ancient architecture to Westerners.9．________parks and gardens are selected as National Parks in the first group.A．9 B．8C．20 D．410．Which of the following statements about Suzhou classical gardens is NOT true?A．They are parts of China's precious cultural heritage.B．They are world-famous tourism resorts.C．They are a necessary part of the life of Suzhou citizens.D．They came into being at the same time.11．Which of the following can best explain the meaning of the underlined word "delicate"?A．astonishing B．deliciousC．beautiful D．impressive12．The first imitation of a Suzhou classical garden was set up in ________.A．London B．New YorkC．Paris D．TokyoOn November 14, 1902, President Theodore Roosevelt was on a hunting trip in Mississippi while trying to settle a line(边界) problem between Mississippi and Louisiana. Being an expert outdoorsman, he liked to hunt large animals.However, his hunt was going poorly that days, and he couldn’t seem to find anything worthy of firing his gun. His followers, trying to help him, caught a Louisiana black baby bear for the President to shoot, but he refused. The thought of shooting a bear that was tied to a tree did not seem sporting, so he spared the life of the baby bear and set it free.A famous political cartoonist for the Washington Star, Mr. Clifford Berryman, drew a cartoon titled, Drawing the Line in Mississippi, which used the story of the President refusing to shoot the bear.The cartoon in the Washington Star showed Teddy Roosevelt, gun in hand, with his back turned on a pretty baby bear. Morris Michtom, owner of a Brooklyn toy store, got the idea from the cartoon and make a toy bear. Planning to use it only as a display, he placed the bear in his toy store window, and next to it placed a copy of the cartoon from the newspaper. To Michtom's surprise, he was surrounded by customers eager to buy it. He asked for and received President Roosevelt's permission to use his name for the bears that he and his wife made, and the Teddy Bear was born! Michtom soon made Teddy bears by the thousands. The money from selling Teddy bears made him, in 1903, form the Ideal Toy Company.13．Why did Theodore Roosevelt come to Mississippi?A．To go on a hunting trip.

Most young Japanese women simply don’t seem interested in having many children.Now what began in Japan is happening globally. As David Brooks wrote, birth rate is becoming smaller in much of the world, from Iran —1.7 births rate per woman —to Russian, where low birth rates connected with high death rates mean the population is already shrinking. And this includes US, which has long had higher birth rates than most developed nations. Aging countries will face the burden of caring for large elderly populations without a larger resource of young workers.It’s true that global aging is going to present some major challenges. Who will take care of the elderly? Will an older world be less active and slower to change and adapt? It’s all true. Sometimes I worry about a coming generational war over resources, just as I worry about how I will take care of my own parents in their old age, just as I worry about who might take care of me.But here’s the thing: an older world may have less pressure on the environment. As we all know, the environment is the real victim of overpopulation.So maybe a world that grows slower and grows older will put less pressure on the environment, and buy us a few more years to ensure our energy use, along with our birthrates, reaches a sustainable〔可持续的〕level. After all, we’re supposed to get smarter as we got older. Hopefully that holds true for the planet as well.17．The population issue in Japan was mentioned to ________.A．show young people’s preference to marriageB．introduce the topic of global birth rate becoming smallerC．indicate the deeper cause of Japan’s depressionD．emphasize the revolution of Japanese women18．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to David Brook?A．The birth rates all over the world are becoming smaller.B．The most developed countries have higher death rates.C．America is the only developed country with higher birth rate.D．Birth rate’s becoming smaller means a grea t risk to aging countries.19．Which will be caused by low birth rates according to the passage?A．Aging society.

D．Doubtful.二、七选五Are you having trouble concentrating when you’re reading a book or listening to a lecture? This list of activities might help to improve your study habits.Make a List.
