第二部分：阅读理解(第一节20小题。

第二节5小题；每小题2分，满分50分)第一节：阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该选项标号涂黑。

AYou never see him, but they're with you every time you fly. They record where you are going, how fast you're traveling and whether everything on your airplane is functioning normally. Their ability to bear almost any disaster makes them seem like something out of a comic book（连环画册）. They're known as the black box.When planes fall from the sky, as a Yemeni airliner did on its way to Comoros Islands in the India Ocean June 30, 2009, the black box is the best bet for identifying what went wrong. So when a French submarine detected the device's homing signal five days later, the discovery marked a huge step toward determining the cause of a tragedy in which 152 passengers were killed.In 1958, Australian scientist David Warren developed a flight-memory recorder that would track basic information like altitude and direction. That was the first mode for a black box, which became a requirement on all U.S. commercial flights by 1960. Early models often failed to bear crashes, however, so in 1965 the device was completely redesigned and moved to the back of the plane – the area least subject to impact – from its original position in the landing wells (起落架舱). The same year, the Federal Aviation Authority required that the boxes, which were never actually black, be painted orange or yellow to aid visibility.Modern airplanes have two black boxes: a voice recorder, which tracks pilots' conversations, and a flight-data recorder, which monitors fuel levels, engine noises and other operating functions that help investigators reconstruct the aircraft's final moments. Placed in an insulated (隔绝的) case and surrounded by a quarter-inch-thick panels of stainless steel, the boxes can resist massive force and temperatures up to 2,000℉. When submerged, they're also able to emit signals from depths of 20,000 ft. Experts believe the boxes from Air France Flight 447, which crashed near Brazil on June 1,2009, are in water nearly that deep, but statistics say they're still likely to turn up. In the approximately 20 deep-sea crashes over the past 30 years, only one plane's black boxes were never recovered.41. What does the author say about the black box?A. It ensures the normal functioning of an airplane.B. The idea for its design comes from a comic book.C. Its ability to survive disasters is incredible.D. It is a must on an airplane.42. What information could be found from the black box on the Yemeni airliner?A. Data for analyzing the cause of the crash.B. The total number of passengers on board.C. The scene of the crash and extent of the damage.D. Homing signals sent by the pilot before the crash.43. Why was the black box redesigned in 1965?A. New materials became available by that time.B. Too much space was needed for its installation.C. The early models often got damaged in the crash.D. The early models didn't provide the needed data.44. Why did the Federal Aviation Authority require the black boxes be painted orange or yellow?A. To distinguish them from the color of the plane.B. To caution people to handle them with care.C. To make them easily identifiable.D. To conform to international standards.45. What do we know about the black boxes from Air France Flight 447?A. There is still a good chance of their being recovered.B. There is an urgent need for them to be reconstructed.C. They have stopped sending homing signals.D. They were destroyed somewhere near Brazil.BBelow is some advice on how to prevent cancer:8 Ways to Avoid Cancer in Your Life1. Eat BlueberriesAside from being a healthy and delicious snack, blueberries contain pterostilbene, which has important colon（结肠）cancer-fighting prosperities. But wait, it gets better. Blueberries also offera large dose of vitamins C (14 milligrams per cup). So at breakfast, try to take in a cup and a half of blueberries in your cereal or yogurt, or mixed with other berries.2. Drink Pomegranate（石榴）JuiceThe deep red juice of the pomegranate contains polyphenols, isoflavones and ellagic acid, which together create a powerful anticancer mixture. Most recently, researchers from the University of Wisconsin at Madison has discovered that 16 ounces of pomegranate juice per day also may inhibit the growth of lung cancer.3. RelaxFeeling stressed or worried? Find ways to relax and you may reduce your chances of developing cancer. Purdue University researchers tracked 1,600 men over 12 years and found that half of those with high levels of worry died during the study period. Only 20 percent of the optimists died before the study were completed, while 34 percent of the extremely anxious men died of some type of cancer. Instead of stressing about the past or future, focus on the present and relax!4. Take Selenium（硒）Selenium is well known for its cancer-fighting properties. In a study of almost 1,000 men, researchers from the Journal of the National Cancer Institute found that when men with the lowest initial levels of selenium in their bodies received a daily supplement over a 4 year period, they cut their prostate（前列腺）cancer risk by a remarkable 92 percent. However, it is possible to get too much of a good thing, so monitor your intake of selenium-containing supplements, Brazil nuts, tuna, meats and grains carefully.5. Eat Sushi（寿司）Seaweed may not be your idea of a great snack, but it is high in fiber, calcium and iron, and dry, roasted seaweed sheets used in sushi provide the additional benefits of vitamins A and C. Sushi rolls are also high in protein— a typical spicy tuna roll has only 290 calories but packs 24 grams of protein. So don’t skimp（节省）on the Sushi!6. Enjoy the OutdoorsVitamin D causes early death of cancer cells. A study published in the American Journey of Clinical Nutrition reported that women who supplemented their diets with 1,000 international units of vitamin D every day had a 60 percent to 77 percent lower incidence of cancer over afour-year period than did women taking a placebo(对照安慰剂). Experts recommend supplementing your fun in the sun with 1,100 to 2,000IU of vitamin D each day.7. Breathe Clean AirThere’s no question that secondhand smoke kills. A recent American Journal of Public Health study showed that nonsmokers working in smoky places had three times the amount of carcinogen （致癌物质）in their urine（尿）than nonsmokers working in smoke-free locations. What’s worse, their levels of the carcinogen rose 6 percent for every hour worked. Nine states have banned smoking in all workplaces, bars and restaurants. The message is clear: Do whatever you can to avoid the cloud of smoke.8. Break a SweatEven a small amount of exercise can offer major cancer-fighting benefits. In a study of 29,110 men published in the International Journal of Cancer, men who exercised just once a week had a percent lower risk of metastasis(转移性) prostate cancer than men who didn’t work out at all. The better the frequency, duration and intensity of the exercise, the bigger the reduction in risk, according to the study.46. To prevent yourself from catching colon cancer, you should eat ____ as often as possible.A. sushiB. blueberriesC. pomegranatesD. Vitamin D47. A person is very likely to catch some type of cancer if ______.A. he is very fond of exercise every day.B. he is addicted to smokingC. he is always feeling extremely stressed or worriedD. he likes to have meals in restaurants48. _____ will remarkably reduce the risk of men’s prostate cancer.A. Having a daily supplement of seleniumB. Drinking a cup of pomegranate juice every dayC. Breathing fresh air now and thenD. Taking exercise at least once a week49. If you want to keep cancer away, it is particularly important to ______.A. have a daily supplement of vitamins B and CB. try to ignore the secondhand smokingC. take in as many selenium-containing supplements as possibleD. having exercise as often as possibleCThe centenary（百年）of the birth of William Faulkner, one of the great modern novelists, was celebrated in September 1997. Faulkner wrote about the southern states of the United States of America where he grew up, and where his family had an important part to play in the history of that region. His work became a touchstone for insights into the troubled issues of southern American identity, race relations, and the family interrelationships of the old time southern gentry(贵族).Faulkner was born in New Albany, Mississippi on September 25, 1897. Despite his interest in writing, he left Oxford High School, Mississippi, without graduating. After World War I, he entered the University of Mississippi as a special student, a right to study which was granted to retired soldiers, although Faulkner had only finished training with the Air Force in Canada, and not entered combat(战斗).Faulkner began to write poems, a verse play, short stories and finished his first novel Sartoris in 1928. His fiction was centered for 14 of the 19 novels published during his lifetime in a fictional region called Yoknapatawpha County. The name is said to come from the Indian Chickasaw word meaning split land.In December 1950, Faulkner was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature. When he accepted it in Stockholm, his speech emphasized that he wished to continue writing, but in a positive way that affirmed the power of humanity to prevail over adverse circumstances. As he said in his speech, he still felt that, despite the threat of nuclear war then hanging over the world, the central concern of the writer should be “the problems of the human heart in conflict with itself”.He wanted the tensions and problems that he had cast the spotlight on in the southern states of America to be resolved by the life-affirming attitudes and action of his characters. Like playwright Tennessee Williams, Faulkner was a major voice who spoke for the troubled heart of the southern states of America. His achievement is all the more remarkable because, as a schoolboy, he was not only a frequent absentee but also reportedly failed to reach pass grades in English class. His collected short stories, novels, poems, and other writings from a legacy of literature which casts profound illumination(启发) on the special culture of the South, a culture which developed from ahistory and social circumstances that were always unique.From the focus on a fictional county, and by remaining true to his view of a close-knit but real society that reflected the greater world around him, Faulkner in the end fashioned a legend of the Deep South that is one of the major achievements of the 20th century literature.50. Which of the following statements about William Faulkner is NOT true？A. William Faulkner’s work focuses on several troubled problems of southern America.B. William Faulkner died one hundred years ago.C. Although William Faulkner did not graduate from high school, he had great interests in writing.D. William Faulkner once took part in the army when he was young.51. Why did William Faulkner write about the southern states of America?A. They were the place where he grew up and his family took an important role in the historyof that region.B. His work became a touchstone.C. He cared about the troubled issues of southern America.D. He felt sympathy for the poor in southern America.52. How many novels have been published during the lifetime of William Faulkner?A. 14.B. 100.C. 19.D. Not mentioned.53. Which of the following statements about Tennessee William is true?A. Both Tennessee William and William Faulkner are playwrights.B. Tennessee William was a major voice who spoke for the troubled people in southern America.C. Like Faulkner, he once won Nobel Prize for literature.D. Tennessee William had to pursue his writing career through difficult times.54. What was William Faulkner’s attitude toward the troubled issues of so uthern America?A. He reflected them by writing and criticized them.B. He intended to call on the troubled people to rebel （叛乱）.C. The troubled issues of southern America just provided many elements for his novels.D. He advocated resolving them in positive attitudes and actions.DHilary Smith belonged to a good family. But by the age of twenty, he had spent all the money the good old family had. He then had some trouble with the bank and was put in prison. He escaped from the prison and ran to Australia without delay.Hilary did not like Australia and Australia did not like Hilary. What he could do seemed to be one of two things: die or work. Then he remembered that he was not alone in the world. He had an aunt.She was his father's only sister, but his father used to say she brought no glory to the family. Hilary, of course, tried to discover what she had done. It seemed that she had failed to marry a nobleman. Instead, she had chosen a husband who was connected with "trade". Of course as soon as she became "Mrs. Parks", her brother considered her dead. Later on, Mr. Parks died and left her a lot of money; but that did not bring her back to life in her brother's opinion.Hilary discovered his aunt's address. Fortunately she remained faithful and honest to him even after she fell ill. So Hilary's star shone again, and soon he moved into her house and lived as comfortably as a sailor who had just reached harbor. He had only about a sixpence in his pocket.One thing was soon clear: his aunt was seriously ill, and nothing could cure her illness. Hilary was very worried. Fate had found a home for him, and was now going to throw him out of it. There was only one thing that could save him: her will."Will?" she said, "yes, I have made one. That was when I was a girl and had not much money.I left all my money to some religious people.""Didn't you make another will when you were married?" Hilary asked.His aunt shook her head. "No," she said in a low voice, "There was no need. When I finally had a lot of money I found I had no relations."On the next day he went to the public library and examined a book of law. It told him what he already believed. When a woman is married, an earlier will loses its value. A new will must be made. If no new will is made, the money goes to the nearest relation. Hilary knew that he was his aunt's only relation. His future was safe.After a few months had passed, Hilary's problems became serious. He badly needed money. He had expensive tastes, and owed a lot of money to shopkeepers. They trusted him because his aunt was rich; but the debt was terrible.Unfortunately his aunt did not want to discuss money matters at all. In the end they had aquarrel about the small amount of ten pounds. Hilary was not very angry. He began to wonder about a new problem. Was it kind to want his aunt to live any longer? Was it not better for her to die now? While he was considering what to do, his aunt told him that she was going to send for her lawyer. So she was going to make a new will, Hilary thought. She might leave all her money to someone else. Soon he reached a clear decision. He must do a great kindness to the poor old woman.One night when the old servant who had been nursing his aunt went off, he doubled the amount of some medicine. The total amount was too great and it could just put her to sleep forever."Thank you," his aunt took the glass from his hand with a grateful look." I want, more than anything, to sleep, and never to wake up again. Is that what you wish, Hilary? Don't blame me if I have some doubts about what you intended to do. Sick people get these ideas, you know. One thing I ought to explain to you. Mr. Parks never married me. He already had a wife and couldn't marry again. That made your foolish father very angry with me...Well, if I am alive tomorrow I shall make another will in your favor. If I die tonight, you'll get nothing...No, Hilary, don't try to take the glass away. If you do that, I shall know; and I don't want to know. Good night, Hilary."Then, very carefully, she raised the glass to her mouth and drank.55. From the story ,we learn that Hilary's aunt was ______.A. bad-tempered and lonelyB. kind-hearted and wiseC. careless about moneyD. cruel to her niece56. Why did Hilary's father consider his aunt dead?A. Because they lost contact with each other after her marriage.B. Because she married a businessman with a wife against his will.C. Because she broke away from the family for a better life.D. Because he thought she was a shame to the family57. The underlined sentence "He must do a great kindness to the poor old woman" in paragraph 11 suggeststhat Hilary Smith ______.A. was determined to put his aunt's life to an endB. decided to do his aunt a favor to call in a lawyerC. made up his mind to take good care of his auntD. would help his aunt to donate all her money to religious people58. Which of the following is the focus of the story?A. Hilary's aunt's money.B. Hilary Smith's debts.C. The intended murder.D. Hilary's aunt's marriage.59. According to the law book, _____.A. Hilary's aunt is not allowed to make a new will.B. the money will go to Hilary after his aunt dies without a new will.C. Hilary's aunt must leave the money to the religious people after she dies.D. Hilary must look after his aunt till her death because he is the only relation.60. Which detail from the story is the climax（高潮）of the story?A. Hilary escaped from the prison.B. Hilary quarreled with is aunt about ten pounds.C. Hilary's aunt drank the medicine her nephew prepared for her.D. Hilary's aunt made a will to leave all her money to someone else.第二节：阅读下列材料, 从所给的六个选项（A、B、C、D、E 和F）中, 选出符合各小题要求的最佳选项。

damages their concentration,a study has shown.The research is the first to link common pollutants such as nitrogen(氮)dioxide and soot(油烟)to changes in the brains of unborn babies that mean they may struggle to focus at school in later life.The findings suggest that even comparatively clean city air could lead to worse academic performance and an increased risk of mental health problems such as addition or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder(缺陷多动障碍).In recent years scientists have found that children who grow up surrounded by air pollution are more likely to have a broad range of“neuro(神经)-developmental”difficulties,including autism and various kinds of cognitive(认知)damage.However,only a handful of studies have looked at the ways in which the poisonous gases and microscopic particles(微粒)that mothers and young children take in affect the brain during critical stages of its growth.A group led by Monica Guxens,of the Barcelona Institute for Global Health,found that exposure to air pollution before birth appeared to have slowed the development of several brain regions that play an important role in people's capacity for self-denial and sustained effort.This lack of inhibition could in turn cause“cognitive delays”when the children get older,the scientists argue in Biological Psychiatry.“We need this function in our daily life,”Dr.Guxens said.“It controls our impulses(冲动) and our selective attention.Children need it to learn and for making decisions in later life.We're interested to see what will happen:is there going to be an impact on their academic work,are there going to be clinical implications?It might be that this will lead to problems later.”The results were drawn from MRI scans of873children between the ages of six and ten in Rotterdam.Even though99.5percent of their mothers had lived with nanoparticle pollution levels well below EU legal limits while they were pregnant the pollution still appeared to have taken its toll(伤亡人数).Children who had been exposed to more pollution in the womb did worse on a test of their ability to block out irrelevant stimuli(刺激).They also had thinner outer layers in the precuneus(楔前叶)and the rostral middle frontal regions of their brains,both of which are involved in cognitive inhibition,which refers to the mind’s ability to tune out stimuli that are irrelevant to the task at hand or to the mind's current state.Experiments on animals show that so-called fine particles are able to pass through the placenta and affect the brain of the fetus(胎儿).Dr Guxens said there were probably no such thing as a safe concentration of air pollution.21.What is the main idea of the passage?A.Children's brain growth slowed by“safe”pollution.B.The safe level of air pollution for pregnant women.C.Factors leading to children's poor academic performance.D.The problems children have when surrounded by pollution.22.What does the underlined word“it”in Paragraph5probably refer to?A.Academic work.B.The lack of inhibition.C.Selective attention.D.The ability for self-dial and sustained effort.23.From the last three paragraphs we can infer_______.A.air pollution has claimed many lives of kidsB.people can't focus on air pollution enoughC.the majority of pregnant women are free from air pollutionD.kids exposed to more pollution have poorer cognitive inhibitionIII.七选五Lots of people give you advice on overcoming fear.24._____However,I want to tell you that a world without fear would be more dangerous,less rewarding.So we want to treat fear as a friend?Here are three reasons.25._____Think about it.Do you get more nervous when you meet the girl(or guy)of yourdreams?Which is more fearful,talking to the boss of your company or to some of your friends?26._____If you didn’t have fear to guide you,you might not know that!Not so bad,right?Next,fear encourages us to take action.Fear is a call to action.In the past,our ancestors didn’t run away in fear when they saw a tiger running toward them but tried to kill it for food. Now,most of us don’t face serious danger like hungry tigers every day,but we do face serious bosses or public speaking.So,what can we do?27._____Lastly,fear lets you know you are alive.Why do we like roller coasters(过山车)?28. _____Same for horror movies.So fear can guide you towards what’s important for you and encourage you to take action to improve.Don’t we all need that kind of friend?A.Don’t fear to be wrong.B.It frightens us in a mostly safe way.C.Imagine what life would be like without fear.D.The first is that fear is an excellent guide to opportunity.E.They say if you can overcome fear,you will be successful.F.Let fear provide us with the energy to do what needs to be done.G.Fear is showing you what is important and what matters to you.。

厚德诚品2024高考冲刺试卷三英语全文共6篇示例，供读者参考篇1Ethics and Integrity - 2024 Gaokao Final Mock Test Three - EnglishHi everyone! My name is Xiaoming and I'm in 5th grade. My older brother is getting ready to take the gaokao this year, which is the big university entrance exam in China. He's been studying really hard and taking a bunch of practice tests to get ready.The other day I was looking through one of his practice test books and saw this really interesting reading passage and writing prompts about ethics and integrity. It made me think a lot about what it means to be a good person with strong morals and principles. Since I found it so fascinating, I wanted to share my thoughts on the topic!First, what exactly do "ethics" and "integrity" mean? From what I understand, ethics are the principles and values that govern how we behave and treat others. Integrity means sticking to those ethical principles even when it's hard or nobody iswatching. Basically, having ethics is about knowing right from wrong, and integrity is actually doing the right thing.I think having strong ethics and showing integrity are two of the most important qualities a person can have. If everyone just did whatever they wanted without caring about ethics, the world would be a mess! We need shared values about being kind, honest, hardworking, and treating others fairly. That's what helps society function well.It's also crucial to have integrity and live according to your ethical principles. It doesn't do any good to just know what's right if you don't actually do it! People with integrity walk the walk, not just talk the talk. They are trustworthy and their actions line up with their stated values.Some key ethics and values I believe in are honesty, kindness, respect, responsibility, and fairness. I always try my best to be honest, even if it's hard sometimes. I've learned that lies just lead to more lies and make things messy. It's better to just tell the truth.I also think it's extremely important to be kind and respectful to others, even if they are different than me. We're all human beings who deserve to be treated with dignity. I get really upset when I see people being bullied or excluded because of howthey look, where they're from, or other differences. That's just wrong.Another value I hold dear is taking responsibility for my actions. If I make a mistake or mess something up, I own up to it instead of making excuses. And when I see something wrong happening, I try to step in and do what's right instead of just being a bystander.Fairness is another huge ethical principle to me. I believe everyone deserves to be treated equally and have the same opportunities, regardless of their race, gender, economic status, or other differences. All my classmates at school should be held to the same standards and rules. That's only fair!I try my best to be ethical and have integrity, but I'll admit I don't always get it right. I'm just a kid and still learning and growing. But I really look up to role models like my parents and teachers who do such a great job of modeling ethical behavior through their own actions. Seeing how they live with integrity inspires me to be better.Developing a strong ethical foundation is something that takes time and conscious effort. We have to constantly think through moral dilemmas and decisions, instead of just going on autopilot. It's all about strengthening that ethical reasoningmuscle! The more we practice making principled choices, the stronger our integrity becomes.I know I still have so much more to learn when it comes to ethics and integrity. But I feel really grateful to be thinking deeply about these concepts even as a young student. Building a solid ethical framework now will help me maintain my moral compass as I continue growing up and facing tougher decisions in life.Integrity and strong ethics ultimately come down to doing the right thing, even when it's incredibly difficult. They are about being a good person through and through, not just on the surface. People with integrity earn tremendous respect because they lead lives of honesty, kindness, fairness and principle.Those are the kinds of ethical role models I aspire to be like. I'm committed to keep developing my ethics, strengthening my integrity, and striving to always take the high road and do what's right. Even when I stumble, I'll get back up and reaffirm my core values. That's the only way to live a life of true meaning and positive impact on the world around me.So in conclusion, while I may only be in elementary school, I've already discovered how incredibly vital ethics and integrity are. They provide the moral framework to be a good person andmake positive choices, no matter how tough the circumstances. By firmly grounding myself in ethical principles from a young age, I'll be so much better equipped to lead a life of integrity as I get older. I have my work cut out for me, but I'm excited for the journey of continual ethical growth ahead! Thanks for letting me share my thoughts. Now let's all go out and try our best to make ethical choices today!篇2Honesty and Integrity: The 2024 Gaokao Rush Mock Test ThreeHi everyone! My name is Xiaoming and I'm in 5th grade. I'm super excited because today I get to tell you all about the crazy Gaokao mock test we just took. The Gaokao is the huge college entrance exam that all us students have to take to get into a good university in China. It's really, really important and everyone studies super hard for it.My school had us take this practice test to get ready for the real Gaokao next year. The whole test was in English, which is really tough for me since I'm just a kid and English is hard. But I tried my best!The first part was listening. We had to listen to recordings and answer questions about what we heard. There were conversations between people ordering food, asking for directions, and talking about their plans. It was pretty difficult to understand everything they were saying, especially with all the background noise. I got a little distracted by my friend Didi making funny faces at me across the room too. Haha, boys will be boys!Next was the reading section. We had to read super long passages about science, history, and culture stuff. Then we had to answer all these detailed questions to show we understood the main ideas and specifics. I thought the passage about the earth's ice caps melting was really interesting, but also kind of sad. The one about ancient Chinese philosophy was just plain confusing with all the big words I didn't know.After that was the writing part, which was the hardest for me. We had to write a whole essay responding to a question about an important issue facing the world today. The question asked what we think the three biggest challenges are and how we can solve them. I wrote about pollution, drought, and conflict between countries. I said we need to use less plastic, conserve water, and learn to understand and respect each other'sdifferences through education. I'm not sure if I explained it very well though.The very last part was the speaking section where we had to record ourselves giving spoken responses. We had to introduce ourselves, describe a scene from a picture, and give our opinion on a topic. I messed up a little when describing the picture because I confused the words "fountain" and "mountain." Whoops! Then for the opinion topic about helping the community, I said we should pick up litter, visit elderly people who are lonely, and volunteer at animal shelters. It's good to be a caring citizen.Phew, that test was no joke! I was so tired after that I could barely stay awake in math class later. All the teachers keep telling us that doing well on the Gaokao is the most important thing for getting into a prestigious university and having a successful career later on. I'm feeling a little stressed about it, but my parents remind me to just try my best.They always say that as long as I'm being honest, working hard, and having integrity, that's what really matters in the end. A good score on a test is nice, but having a good character and moral principles is even more valuable. I agree – I might not be a straight-A student, but I am a good person who tells the truth,keeps my word, and treats others with kindness and respect. Maybe those good values will take me just as far in life, if not farther!Well, thanks for listening to me blab about my crazy mock test experience. Wish me luck on the real Gaokao next year...I'm gonna need it! I'll leave you with a joke to end on a high note: What kind of music do planets listen to? Nep-tunes! Hahaha, get it? I'll be here all week folks. Study hard and never give up!篇3The Big Bad Practice TestUgh, Mom and Dad are being so annoying about this big practice test coming up. They keep calling it the "2024 Huode Chengpin High School Entrance Exam Simulation" or some fancy name like that. But I just call it the Big Bad Practice Test because it sounds way harder and scarier than it probably is.Mom says I have to do well on it to get into a good high school. She's like "Xiao Wang, this practice test will help prepare you for the real entrance exam next year. It's importantant!" I just roll my eyes when she starts that lecture. Yeah yeah, I know it's "importantant." She didn't need to tell me a million times.The worst part is that we've been doing practice questions and prepping for this thing for what feels like forever. Every night after school, it's "time to study!" My GameBud handheld game thingy gets taken away and I have to do all these stupid practice questions instead. Sometimes my brain feels like it's going to explode from all the English vocabulary words and math formulas they cram in there.But I actually don't mind the math sections too much. Math is kind of fun, especially when we get to do hands-on stuff with shapes and numbers. It's like a game or puzzle. What I really hate are the reading comprehension passages for English. Those are just sooooooooooo booooring! The passages are always these super dry stories about some old guy back in ancient times. Who cares about that stuff? Not me!There's going to be an English writing section too on the Big Bad Practice Test. We have to write a short essay responding to a prompt. My teacher says I need to "develop my ideas fully and use transition words." Blah blah blah. That just sounds like a fancy way of saying "write a lot and don't make it terrible." Maybe I'll just BSing and make up a bunch of stuff for that part. Haha, Mom would kill me if she knew I was thinking that!The test is also going to have sections on science, history, and geography. Yawn...I'm not too excited for those. Science is okay when we get to do experiments, I guess. But just reading about diffentary and extinct aminals is not very fun. And history is nothing but memorizing names and dates of people who were around for.like.ever ago. No thanks! At least geography let's us look at maps and globes and stuff. That's kind of cool.I've been studying a ton to get ready for this thing. Or I should say, Mom and Dad MAKE me study a ton. It's pretty much all I do when I get home from school until bedtime. No video games, no watching funny videos online, no freesing our dog Muffin...just practice test this and practice test that. It's torture, I tell you!The big day is coming up really soon. Next Saturday morning, bright and early, we all have to go to the exam center downtown. We'll get assigned a room number and everything. It's going to be a longassssss day too. The actual test is scheduled from 8am until 5pm! With just two quick bathroom breaks. Can you believe that? I'll be trapped in a desk all day! This is putting me off to high school and I haven't even started it yet.At least after the test, Mom and Dad promised to take my brother and me out for a celebratory dinner. We getting to pickany restaurant we want, even if it's expensive! So maybe that'll make sitting through this Big Bad Practice Test worthwhile. A massive amino pizza from Tomboli's followed by a triple-scoop ice cream sundae from Penny's Parlor sounds like the perfect reward to me. Mmmmm...I can taste it already!Well, I better start wrapping this up. I need to get back to prepping so Mom doesn't yell at me. Seriously, no video games until this stupid practice test is over? Parents can be sooooooo unfair! Wish me luck, I'm gonna need it to get through this thing. Say a prayer for me that the Big Bad Practice Test won't be as big, bad, and horrible as the name makes it sound. A guy can hope, right?篇4My Big Sis is Taking the Virtuous and Honest Exam!Hi there! My name is Jia Jia and I'm 8 years old. I'm in 3rd grade at Sunshine Elementary School. My big sister Mei Mei is 18 years old and she's going to take a super important test soon called the Virtuous and Honest High School Entrance Exam. It's a really big deal!Mei Mei has been studying like crazy to get ready. She studies every night after dinner until bedtime. On weekends shestudies allllll day long, except for when we go outside to play for a little bit. My parents keep telling her "You need to take breaks!" but she says she doesn't have time for too many breaks because the exam is coming up so fast.The exam is called the Virtuous and Honest Exam because it tests you on being a good person with good values, not just boring stuff like math and reading. This exam is only given in our province though. I'm not sure why other provinces don't have this exam. Maybe they'll have it one day too!From what I understand, there are sections on the exam about things like:Being respectful to your parents, grandparents, teachers, and eldersHaving good manners and behaving properlyUnderstanding right from wrong based on virtuous teachingsKnowing traditional virtuous stories and lessonsWriting essays about virtuous role models and moral dilemmasMei Mei has been prepping for each part of the exam. She reads me virtuous bedtime stories and quizzes me after to make sure I understand the moral lessons. Then she has me rate how well she would answer questions about having virtuous character.For the sections on respecting elders, she has been extra nice to our grandparents when they come over. She makes them tea, gives them the best sitting spots, and asks about their childhood over and over to practice listening better. Our grandma and grandpa are very impressed!For the manners section, Mei Mei has been on her best behavior at mealtimes. She doesn't speaking with her mouth full, waits patiently for others to finish, and always says "please" and "thank you." One time she even helped serve the food to practice! Mom and Dad joke that she's becoming a little lady.The writing sections are super hard from what Mei Mei says. She has to write examples of how to handle moral dilemmas. Like if a friend asked you to lie to get out of trouble, but you know lying is wrong. How would you respond in a virtuous way while also being a good friend? Tricky stuff!Mei Mei stays up late studying example essay questions like that. She thinks of example situations and outlines virtuous waysshe could address them with philosophical teachings and moral guidance. I may be young but even I can see it's really hard!Another major part of the exam is memorizing quotes, lessons and stories from ancient virtuous philosophy books. Mei Mei reads parts out loud and I listen. Then she tests me to see if I can repeat back the virtuous quote or summary of a story's moral lesson. I don't always get them right but Mei Mei is very patience when she re-explains them to me.The exam lasts for two whole days! Day 1 covers ethics, virtues, moral reasoning, and cultural lessons. Day 2 is mostly writing tasks according to Mei Mei. She has been practicing outlines and time management to prep for the grueling day of back-to-back essay tasks.I know Mei Mei has been working herself really hard. Sometimes she looks tired or frustrated. But she is determined to ace this exam and get into a top high school program focused on virtuous living and moral education. It's her dream to become a philosopher who provides guidance on how to live an ethical life.My parents keep reassuring her that she has great virtuous character already, so she shouldn't worry so much. Dad says "The exam篇5Thick Virtue and Sincerity 2024 Gaokao Final Exam Paper Three EnglishHi everyone! My name is Xiaoming and I'm a 5th grader. Today I want to tell you all about the English part of the big Gaokao test that older students have to take. The Gaokao is a really important exam in China that decides what university you can go to. My older sister Li Ming is studying super hard to take the Gaokao this year.The English part has listening, reading, and writing sections. For the listening, you have to listen reeeally carefully to recordings and answer questions. My sister practices by listening to English songs, movies, and podcasts. She says it helps her get used to hearing different accents and speaking speeds. I like singing along to the English songs with her sometimes!For the reading, there are passages about all sorts of topics like science, culture, and history. You have to read them quickly but carefully to answer comprehension questions. My sister reads English books, newspapers, and websites to get better at reading fast. She has a special app that times her reading speed.Sometimes I race her for fun by reading the same passage, but she always beats me.The writing section is one of the hardest parts. You have to write essays and letters showing you can use English grammar and vocabulary correctly. My sister plans out every essay by making an outline first. She practices writing different types of essays, like argumentative and expository. I help her out sometimes by reading her drafts and checking for mistakes.To get ready, my sister takes a ton of practice tests too. We get practice books with past Gaokao questions from the bookstore. Every weekend, she times herself taking a full mock exam under real test conditions. No breaks allowed! I'm not allowed to make any noise during her mock tests so I don't distract her. It's tough but she is determined.My sister studies English for hours every day after school. She uses sticky notes with vocabulary words all over our room. She makes up silly sentences using the new words to help remember them. Sometimes the sentences are so funny that we both end up cracking up laughing!I admire how hardworking and focused my sister is. She never complains about how much work it is. A few of her classmates have even given up or dropped out because theGaokao is so difficult. But not my sister - she is powering through it all. I know her determination and grit will pay off.On the night before the big test day, our whole family is going to make her favorite dumplings for dinner. We'll tell jokes and funny stories to help her relax before the exam. In the morning, I'll give her a big hug and wish her good luck. I'll be waiting at home cheering her on.No matter what her score ends up being, I'm just proud of my big sister for giving her best effort. I look up to her so much. One day when it's my turn to take the Gaokao, I'll remember her hard work and perseverance. I'll study just as hard as she did. The Gaokao may be crazy difficult, but we can conquer it! Just you wait and see.So that's my little sister's perspective on this crazy important English test. I hope you found it interesting to learn about. Let me know if you have any other questions! Thanks for reading, gotta run and play now. Zàijiàn!篇6Moral Character and Sincerity 2024 College Entrance Examination Final Sprint Test Paper ThreeHey guys! It's me again, your favorite elementary school writer. I'm back with another super awesome essay for you all. This time, it's going to be like one of those big fancy college tests that all the high schoolers have to take. But don't worry, I'll make it way more fun!So the topic for today is about being a good, honest person with strong morals and stuff. Basically, how to be the opposite of a big old meanie pants. I'm sure you all already know a ton about this since your parents and teachers are always reminding you. But I've got some great insights to share from a kid's point of view!First up, let's talk about honesty. Lying is definitely not cool. I remember this one time when I took an extra cookie from the jar without asking. I tried to cover it up, but mom totally caught me with chocolate crumbs all over my mouth! Let me tell you, that lecture was not fun at all. Since then, I've learned that honesty really is the best policy, even if it means getting in a little trouble sometimes. At least you don't have that guilty feeling weighing you down.Being a good friend is also super important when it comes to having good moral character. You've got to be loyal, trustworthy, and always have your bestie's back. Like how me and Tommystuck up for Billy when those mean older kids were picking on him at the park. We made it super clear that bullying is not cool...with a couple of well-aimed mud pies! Haha, just kidding about that last part. Violence is never the answer, kids. But you get what I mean - real friends look out for each other.Respect is another big one. Especially respect for adults and people in authority like teachers and police officers. They might not always seem fun, but they're just trying to keep us safe and help us learn. My dad always says "If you don't have respect, you'll go nowhere, young man!" And I want to go lots of places when I grow up, so I try my best to be polite and well-behaved. Using manners like please and thank you is an easy way to show respect too.Now let's talk about being sincere and having integrity. Basically, that means being real and true to yourself and your values. Not just going along with whatever anyone else says or does, even if it's easier in the moment. It can be tough sometimes, but in the long run, people will respect you more for standing up for what you believe in.One example is how I made sure to recycle every last bottle and aluminum can for our school's recycling drive, even when my friends were too lazy to bother. Yeah, it took some extra effort,but it was the right thing to do for the environment. Integrity means doing the hard thing sometimes because it's the responsible, ethical choice.Okay, I could go on and on, but I'll wrap this up so you guys don't get too bored. The main point is that building good moral character with honesty, respect, integrity and all that other good stuff won't just make you a better person. It'll make you way happier and more successful in life too! You'll have more real friends, stronger relationships, and a huge sense of inner peace just from knowing you're doing the right thing.So next time you feel tempted to lie, cheat, or treat someone badly, just ask yourself - is that the kind of person I want to be? The answer should be a big "HECK NO!" Because you're all way too awesome for that. Stay sincere, stay humble, and stay true to yourselves! Thanks for reading, friends!。

ADeveloped and developing nations can learn from each other seeking a low­carbon economy，a Chinese government official said in Shanghai yesterday.“China doesn't lag developed nations in terms of energy saving and green economy”，said Zhou Changyi，director of the energy saving department of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.“While we can learn many aspects from developed nations，they should also learn something from us，such as water conservation，” Zhou said in a speech during the ne w Path of China's Industrilization forum at the ongoing China International Industry Fair 2009.He said industrilized nations and China are dealing with different issues to combat climate change.The United Kingdom，for example，is concerned about transport，buildings and new energy in reducing carbon emmissions.For China，the most urgent task is how to realize new­type of industrilization and avoid mistakes that other countries made when they industrialized .As such，overseas exhibitors at this year's fair are showing ways to help China achieve low carbon emissions in the industrial section.Swiss power and automation technology group ABB called for a stronger focus on product life­cycle assesment，or LCA，which is used to study the environmental impact of a product from the research and manufaturing stage through its usage and recycling.Tobias Becker，head of ABB's process automation division for North Asia and China，said LCA is an effective tool in helping manufacturing industries to reduce carbon emissions.LCA shows that industrial customers should focus on a product's environmental impact throughout its life­cycle instead of on its initial investment or ready­to­use stage.For example，a motor's initial investment accounts for only 3 percent of its life­cycle cost，while 94 percent goes to fuel consumption and the rest to maintenance.Richard Hausmann，North East Asia CEO of Siemens，said，“The color of future industrilization is green.”The Germany Company recently announces that it wants to receive orders worth more than 6 billion Euros (US 8.8 billion) for intelligent net power networks，Smart Grid，over the next five years. Siemens has set a 20 percent market share target for the global smart grid business.A smart grid delivers electricity from suppliers to consumers using digital technology，advanced sensors specialized computers that save energy，reduce costs and increase reliability. The United States and China are considered the two biggest markets for smart grid.1．“______” can replace the underlined word “lag”．A．Fall behind B．Be superior toC．Attack D．Fear2．Which of the following about LCA is TRUE?A．LCA is used to study the impact on a product.B．LCA can help manufacturing industries decrease carbon release a lot.C．LCA shows industrial customers should focus on a product's environmental influence on its initial investment.D．LCA was one of the exhibitions at this year's fair.3．We can infer ______ from the eleventh paragraph of this passage.A．Siemens has occupied 20 percent market share for the global smart grid businessB．Siemens received orders worth 6 billion Euros recentlyC．Siemens will earn $ 8.8 billion from intelligent power networksD．Siemens' plan about Smart Grid may come true in the future4．______ about Smart Grid isn't mentioned in the passage.A．Energy­saving B．Low­costC．Security D．Small in size5．The best title for the passage ______.A．Developed and Developing Nations Can Learn From Each OtherB．Low­carbon Economy—a Shared GoalC．Intelligent Power NetworksD．Two Biggest Markets for Smart GridBPoet William Stafford once said that we are defined more by the detours(绕行路) in life than by the narrow road toward goals. I like this image. But it was quite by accident that I discovered the deep meaning of his words.For years we made the long drive from our home in Seattle to my parents' home in Boise innine hours. We traveled the way most people do: the fastest, shortest, easiest road, especially when I was alone with four noisy, restless kids who hate confinement(限制) and have strong opinions about everything.Road trips felt risky，so I would drive fast, stopping only when I had to. We would stick to the freeways and arrive tired.But then Banner, our lamb was born. He was rejected by his mama days before our planned trip to Boise. I had two choices: leave Banner with my husband, or take him with me. My husband made the decision for me.That is how I found myself on the road with four kids, a baby lamb and nothing but my everlasting optimism to see me through. We took the country roads out of necessity. We had to stop every hour, let Banner shake out his legs and feed him. The kids chased him and one another. They'd get back in the car breathless and energized, smelling fresh from the cold air.We explored side roads, catching grasshoppers in waist－high grass. Even if we simply looked out of the car windows at baby pigs following their mother, or fish leaping out of the water, it was better than the best ride down the freeway. Here was life. And new horizons(见识)．We eventually arrived at my parents' doorstep astonishingly fresh and full of stories.I grew brave with the trip back home and creative with my disciplining technique. On an empty section of road, everyone started quarreling. I stopped the car, ordered all kids out and told them to meet me up ahead. I parked my car half a mile away and read my book in sweet silence.Some road trips are by necessity fast and straight. But that trip with Banner opened our eyes to a world available to anyone adventurous enough to wander around and made me realize that a detour may uncover the best part of journey—and the best part of yourself.6．Why did the author use to take freeways to her parents' home?A．It was less tiring.B．It would be faster and safer.C．Her kids would feel less confined.D．She felt better with other drivers nearby.7．The author stopped regularly on the country roads to ________．A．relax in the fresh airB．take a deep breathC．take care of the lambD．let the kids play with Banner8．What does the author discover from the trip according to Paragraph 6?A．Freeways are where beauty hides.B．Getting close to nature adds to the joy of life.C．Enjoying the beauty of nature benefits one's health.D．One should follow side roads to watch wild animals.C Teen Climbing Camp 2010This 5-day climbing camp is suitable for teenagers between the ages of 13 and 18 who have an interest in rock climbing.
