Participating in such events is a great way to learn about school facilities and understand campus culture:What do students do for fun?What are their favorite classes?What is thehistory of your university It can help you observe campus life outside the classroom. Exploring CampusGetting to know where essential campus resources are-such as the student advising center,psychological services,and the tutoring center-will make your first few weeks on campus a lot easier,because you won't have to look for them while still getting used to your classes.Take some time to check out the buildings where your classes will be held.This will prevent you from getting lost in the first few days of classes,and familiarize you with how long it takes to get from place to place.If you're worried about taking classes one after another in different buildings,a quick test run won't hurt.That way,you will avoid potential time delays in getting to your classes.Starting a RoutineBefore getting too excited about all of the fun things you will be able to do during the week,remember that you do have a pretty big schedule change coming up.Starting classes means being in different places at different times,so it's a great idea to start getting used to that routine right this week.What helps you most is to schedule your sleep.Following the planned time will ensure you have enough sleep to get to those early classes and stay wide awake.If you have other daily routines,such as exercising or talking on the phone with family,work those into your day-to-day life before classes start so that you get a better idea of how they fit in with your schedule.16.By participating in campus welcome activities,freshmen can ______ .A. learn about campus cultureB. get their course scheduleC. have a physical examinationD. take an entrance test17.Why are freshmen advised to have a quick test run between buildings?______A. To see how many facilities they can use.B. To avoid being late for future classes.C. To help those getting lost on campus.D. To practice running on their way to class.18.When is it best for freshmen to start getting used to the new routine?______A. On the first day of their classes.B. Before the orientation week.C. After their first-day classes.D. During the orientation week.19.What does the author suggest freshmen do to stay focused in class?______A. Take physical exercise before class.B. Leave their phones powered off.C. Take early classes every day.D. Keep to the sleep schedule.20.What is the author's purpose in writing this passage______A. To offer some tips on making an easier start at college.B. To remind freshmen about the first day of school.C. To help freshmen organize campus activities.D. To share his college experience with the reader.BWhen people ask me how I started writing,I find myself describing an urgent need that I felt to work with language.Having said that,I did not know for a long time what I was looking for.It was not until I followed this feeling to its source that I discovered I had a passion for writing.With some encouragement from my colleagues,I had one of my poems published.This bit of success,however,was the point where my problem began.Back in 1978,I had to travel between three different campuses in the morning,teaching freshman composition.Afternoons I spent taking my daughter to her ballet and horse-riding lessons.I composed my lectures on the way,and that was all the thinking time I had.When I returned home,there was not enough of me left for writing after a full working day.As a way out,I decided to get up two hours before my usual time.My alarm was set for 5:00 A.M.The first day I shut it off because I had placed it within arm's reach.The second day I set two clocks,one on my night table,and one out in the hallway.I had to jump out of bed and run to silence it before my family was awoken.This was when my morning writing began.Since that first morning in 1978,I have been following the habit to this day,not making or accepting many excuses for not writing.I wrote my poems in this manner for nearly ten years before my first book was published.When I decided to write a novel,I divided my two hours:the first for poetry,the second for fiction.Well or badly,I wrote at least two pages a day.This is how my novel,The Line of the Sun.was finished.If I had waited to have the time,I would still be waiting to write my novel.What I got out of getting up in the dark to work is the feeling that I am in control.For many people,the initial sense of urgency to create easily dies away because it requires making the tough decision:taking the time to create,stealing it from yourself if ifs the only way.21.What motivated the author to start her writing career?______A. Her strong wish to share.B. Her keen interest in writing.C. Her urgent need to make a living.D. Her passionate desire for fame.22.What problem did the author face when she decided to begin her writing______A. She was too exhausted to write after a busy day.B. She had trouble in deciding on her writing style.C. She had to take time to discipline her daughter.D. She was unsure about her writing skills.23.Why did the author place an alarm clock in the hallway?______A. In case the clock in her room broke down.B. In case she failed to hear the ringing.C. To force herself out of bed.D. To wake up her family.24.How did the author manage to finish her novel______A. By sticking to writing every morning.B. By writing when her mind was most active.C. By drawing inspirations from classic novels.D. By reducing her teaching hours at school.25.What can we learn from the author's success in her writing career?______A. It is never too late to change your job.B. Imaginative ideas die away if not taken in time.C. A tight schedule is no excuse for lack of action.D. Daily life provides ideas for creative writing.CIn the fictional worlds of film and TV,artificial intelligence(AI)has been described as so advanced that it is indistinguishable from humans.But what if we're actually getting closer to a world where AI is capable of thinking and feelingTech company UneeQ is heading for its "digital humans",which appear life like on the screen not only in terms of language,but also because of facial movements:raised eyebrows,a smile,even a nod.They look close to a human,but not quite.What lies beneath UneeQ's digital humans?Their 3 D faces are modeled on actual human features.Speech recognition enables them to understand what a person is saying,and natural language processing is used to work out a response.Meanwhile,another AI company,Soul Machines,is taking a more biological approach,with a "digital brain",that imitates aspects of the human brain to adjust the emotions "felt" and "expressed" by its "digital people". Shiwali Mohan,an AI scientist at the Palo Research Center,is skeptical of these digital beings. "They're humanlike in their looks and the way they sound,but that in itself is not being human," she says. "Human qualities also involve how you think,how you approach problems,and how you break them down;and that takes a lot of algorithmic (算法)design.Designing for human-level intelligence is a different attempt than designing images that behave like humans." She then continues,"If something looks like a human,we have high expectations of them,but they might behave differently in ways that humans just instinctively (直觉地)know how other humans react."Yet the demand is there,with UneeQ seeing high adoption of its digital employees across the financial,health care,and commercial sectors (行业). "Unless these sectors make their business models much more efficient digitally,they might be left behind," says Chetan Dube,UneeQ's CEO.Some other companies are taking their digital beings a step further,enabling organizations and individuals to create digital humans themselves using free-access platforms they provide. "The biggest motivation for such platforms is to popularize AI," Dube says.Mohan is cautious about this approach,yet she supports the purpose behind these digital beings and is optimistic about where they are headed. "As we develop more advanced AI technology,we would then have to use new ways of communicating with that technology," she says. "Hopefully,all of that is designed to support humans in their goals."26.According to Para.2,in what respect(s)do UneeQ's "digital humans" resemble humanbeings______A. In the way they move around.B. In the way they act and react.C. In observation and analysis.D. In speech and facial expressions.27.Soul Machines' digital brain is a technological breakthrough because it ______ .A. learns to make proper emotional responsesB. tends to imitate human beings' tone vividlyC. recognizes the speech sounds it receivesD. processes the natural language it hears28.In Mohan's opinion,what human quality is lacking in digital beings______A. Calculating brain.B. Language skills.C. Instinctive judgements.D. Problem-solving ability.29.What makes many sectors employ digital humans?______A. The fear of falling behind in efficiency.B. The urgency to promote e-commerce.C. The wish to spread digital technology.D. The need to upgrade the health care system.30.What does Mohan think of the future of digital beings?______A. It's well planned.B. It is promising.C. It is uncertain.D. It's quite hopeless.DArt is everywhere.Any public space has been carefully designed by an artistic mind to be both functional and beautiful.Why,then,is art still so widely considered to be "the easy subject" at school,insignificant to wider society,a waste of time and effortArt can connect culture with commercial products in a way that not many other things can;art generates money and holds significant emotional and cultural value within communities.When people attend a concert,they are paying for music,sure,maybe even hotel rooms,meals,and transport,but they also gain an incredible experience,a unique atmosphere and a memory that will go through the rest of their lives.People don't just want material things anymore,they want to experience life一the arts are a perfect crossover(交迭)between culture and commerce. Furthermore,the arts can bring communities together,reducing loneliness and making people feel safer.Social bonds are created among individuals when they share their arts experiences through reflection and discussion,and their expression of common values through artworks in honour of events significant to a nation's experience.The arts clearly have a pretty positive impact on physical and psychological health.It is found that people who frequent cultural places or participate in artistic events are more likely to gain good health compared to those who do not;more engagement with the arts is linked to a higher level of people's wellbeing.The Royal Society of Public Health discovered that music and art,when used in hospitals,help to improve the conditions of patients by reducing stress,anxiety and blood pressure.Children who are involved with the arts make greater achievements in their education:those engaged with drama have greater literary ability while others taking part in musical practice exhibit greater skills in math and languages.Kids with preference for the arts have a greater chance of finding employment in the future.Participating in the arts is essential for child development;encouraging children to express themselves in constructive ways could help to form healthy emotional responses in later life.Vital to human life,art is celebrated and used by nations across the world for various purposes.Life without art would be boring and dead still,for art is a part of what makes us human.31.Art products differ from most other commercial products because ______ .A. most people purchase them for collectionB. they are more expensive and less accessibleC. they have both commercial and cultural valuesD. their prices may climb up as time passes32.By sharing their arts experiences,community members can ______ .A. keep the community safe from illnessesB. develop a stronger tie between themC. learn to appreciate their own works of artD. offer honourable solutions to their problems33.What can we learn about people who are involved in artistic activities?______A. They enjoy better living conditions.B. They like to compare themselves with others.C. They are particularly good at both music and art.D. They tend to be healthier physically and mentally.34.How does kids' engagement with the arts benefit them?______A. It promotes their academic performance and emotional growth.B. It gives them more confidence in exhibiting their learning skills.C. It inspires their creativity in designing their future career.D. It helps to make responsible people out of them.35.What is the best title for this passage?______A. How Art Cures Our HeartsB. Art:A Blessing to HumankindC. How Art Benefits CommunitiesD.

As the world starts to become increasingly aware of the dirty carbon footprint left behind by airplane travel,could it be time to bring back to the air ship?Hybrid Air vehicle,a UK-based company,has recently displayed a new concept design of their around100-passenger air-ships that hopes to revolutionize city tripping,all while reducing carbon emissions(排放).The images of the flashy inside parts are just an ambitious plan for the moment,but the company argued the air ship would be well-suited to city-to-city trips.A journey by air ship would take slightly longer than one by airplane.For example,a flight from Liverpool to Belfast across the Irish Sea is approximately4 hours and24minutes,check-in and security time included,while the air ship will take 5hours and20minutes in theory.However,the payoff comes in the amount of carbon dioxide released—67.75kilograms(149.36pounds)of carbon emissions per passenger by plane,compared to4.75kilograms(10,47pounds)per passenger by air ship.The company claims their standard Airlander10model can now complete journeys with a total of a75percent reduction in emissions compared to conventional aircrafts.They eventually hope to introduce a hybrid-electric(混合电能的)model by 2025,which would reduce emissions by90percent,then a totally electric model by 2030that would be a zero emissions aircraft.In a bid to attract air travel enthusiasts,the company also hopes to make the experience more pleasurable than the typical journey of sticky seats and minimal leg room.“For many decades flying from A to B has meant sitting in a metal tube with tiny windows—a necessity but not always a pleasure.On Airlander,the whole experience is pleasant,even enjoyable,”George Land,Commercial Business Development Director at Hybrid Air vehicle,said in a recent statement.1.What is the new air ship designed for?A.Trips with fewer passengers.B.Reducing the use of carbon.C.Traveling specially between cities.D.The lowest cost of trips for passengers.2.Why does the author list the figures in paragraph2?A.To highlight the speed of the airplane.B.To stress the disadvantages of the new airship.C.To indicate the potential market of the new airshipD.To present the positive effect of the new air ship on the environment. 3.What is the plan of the company for the new air ship?A.Producing a fully electric model by2030.B.Producing a hybrid-electric model by2030.C.Completing the standard Airlander10model by2025.D.Putting the standard Airlander la model into service by2025.4.What does George Land think of the traditional airplane?A.It's much safe B.Its space is too narrow,C.Its seats are too hard.D.Its atmosphere is more pleasant.二、阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。

A(2021·浙江高三一模)It’s a common experience: You’re reading through a social media page, and you see pictures of friends traveling or going to parties. Suddenly you start to wonder why you’re not doing those things. Are you missing out on something fun and exciting because you’re locked into everyday life? This experience has come to be known as the fear of missing out, or FOMO. To some extent, people have always worried about missing out on things. But with the rise of social media, FOMO is becoming much more common.Wanting to be in on the fun when exciting things are happening is completely normal. But for some people, it can lead to an obsession with checking their phones to find out what other people are doing. Even while doing things that are fun or necessary, people can feel like there’s something better going on elsewhere. This urge to connect can lead them to disconnect from the people they are actually with. It prevents them from being satisfied with the good things in their lives. It can even be dangerous; some people try to check messages while driving.It’s important to remember that what people choose to post on social media does not necessarily reflect their life overall. People tend to pick and choose the things they share, so we only ever know a small part of anyone else’s life.It might even be necessary to turn off your phone or log out of social media for a while. Get rid of the constant reminders of everything that’s happening in the world. You can even set particular times in your day to check email and social media. By stepping away for a time, you can help keep other people’ lives in perspective.Finally, focus on the things in front of you. Enjoy them, do them well and let everything else go. When you fully engage with life, you’ll worry less about what you’re not doing.1.Why does the author mention the experience in paragraph 1?A.To share his experience of FOMO.B.To describe the symptoms of FOMO.C.To introduce the topic of FOMO.D.To give an example of FOMO.2.What is NOT the possible influence FOMO has on some people?A.Checking their social media too often.B.Making phone calls while driving.C.Being separated from people with them.D.Being unsatisfied with the present happiness.3.What can be the best title for the passage?A.The Harms Of Checking Phones.B.The Fear Of Missing Out.C.The Ways Of Dealing With Social Media.D.The Symptoms Of FOMO.B(2020·福建厦门市·厦门双十中学高三月考)Weekend@ EXPO Singapore EXPO Halls 1-310 am to 10 pmThe last Saturday of every monthFun.

This was what Samuel would spend years fighting against.The Orang Asli community has struggled with poverty, melting into society, and losing their own identity andculture due to others' disregard of it. Samuel saw that the main barrier in teaching these children was the attitude on the part of many teachers that the native children were not worth their efforts. It was thought that whatever was taught would make no difference, so nobody bothered to try. The children themselves ended up believing these stigmas (污名), often doubting what they can achieve. Teachers skipped or slept in classes, and little effort was made to create an appropriate learning environment. Consequently, the school was one of the worst-performing in the district.Samuel bonded with his native students and accepted their culture, leading him to see their potential. However, he also came to see that they did not have equal opportunities compared to urban schools, due to the lack of facilities. So he set up a crowdfunding project to create a fully equipped 21st-century English classroom with tablets and computers. The Orang Asli children now learn technology, experience English and communicate in English with volunteers all over Malaysia and overseas.Consequently, the students have improved in national standardized examinations, from a pass rate of 30% in English (2008-2012) to an average of 80% (2013-2017). These efforts have resulted in a shift of what local children are considered capable of academically.8.What did the teacher's words suggest about the native children?A.They were intelligent. B.They were hopeless.C.They were unfriendly. D.They were independent.9.What major problem did Samuel need to solve?A.The poverty of local people. B.The lack of facilities in his school.C.The prejudice against the native kids. D.The unsuitable teaching methods.10.What is paragraph 3 mainly about?A.The change of native students.B.The importance of learning English.C.The improvement of native education.D.Samuel's work for the native kids.11.What can we learn from Samuel's story?A.Respect makes a big difference.B.The academic performance comes first.C.Everyone deserves access to education.D.One method can't apply to each situation.D(2021·河北衡水市·衡水中学高三月考)Last year, the bushfires in Australia burned more than 12.35 million acres of land. At least 25 people were killed and 2000 homes destroyed. According to the BBC, that was the most casualties(伤亡) from wildfires in the country since 2009. The University of Sydney estimates that 480 million animals have died in South Wales alone.Zeke Hausfather, an energy systems analyst and climate researcher at Berkeley Earth, said warmer temperatures and extreme weather made Australia more susceptible to fires and increased the length of the fire season. "The drier conditions combined with record high temperatures in 2019 created main conditions for the disastrous fires. Australia's fires were worsened by the combination of those two. 2019 was the perfect storm for being the warmest year on record for Australia and the driest year on record for Australia," Hausfather added on Friday.Kevin Trenberth, a senior scientist at the US National Center for Atmospheric Research, said warmer ocean temperatures are also contributed to more variable weather around the world. Trenberth believes that global warming contributed to energy imbalances and hot spots in the oceans, which can create a wave in the atmospherethat locks weather patterns in places, causing longer rain events in Indonesia, for example, and at the same time contributing to drought in Australia. He said that once an area experiences drought conditions for two months or more, it increases the risk of fires catching and spreading. Those changing weather patterns due to global warming make drought events longer.Climate experts stress that climate change is not the only factor in the severity(严重) of wildfires. How land is managed can also impact the amount of fuel available for fires. Practices like controlled bums and other factors can impact the risk to people and property, such as warning systems and the type of development in a given area. Changing those policies has great potential to limit future damage from wildfires along with changes to how fire management resources are dispatched(派遣).12.What are the numbers about in paragraph 1?A.The causes of Australian fires. B.The results of Australian fires.C.The damaged areas of Australian fires.D.The property destruction of Australian fires.13.Which of the following best explains ''susceptible to" in the second paragraph?A.Very quickly to adapt to.B.Very seriously to focus on.C.Very likely to be influenced by.D.Very easily to be protected against.14.What can we infer from Trenberth’s research?A.Longer dry weather contributes to global warming.B.Global wanning is also a main cause of the bushfires.C.Warmer ocean temperatures leads to the fires directly.D.The imbalanced energy leads to the temperature rising.15.What does the author intend to do in the last paragraph?A.To stress the effects of Australia fires.B.To show the methods for land management.C.To predict the seriousness of Australia fires.D.To provide some advice about reducing fire damage.第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

mother Rosemary Alfredo didn’t raise her daughter to think of herself as different from her classmates.But this changed when Divitto was in the fourth grade and she was bullied by a boy in her class who started calling her “Down Syndrome”.Her mother had to have a conversation with her about what it meant and from then on,Divitto worked hard to be fully accepted at school.Divitto is not resting on

may not be his most impressive achievement as Kyle just received the “Hero Award”,a $20,000 grand prize.It is the top honor in the California Youth Sustainability Awards.The competition aims to encourage and support young community leaders who are making a difference for sustainability in their communities by taking action for the planet.Kyle,a sophomore from the Cambridge School in the US,received the honor for his portable invention called NEREID.The device can detect microscopic particles(粒子) in water by using a laser and microscope.These particles can be harmful to people and the environment.Kyle came up with the idea for the invention based on his experience growing up in SanDiego,California,US.People had no access to unpolluted drinking water and his parents asked him not to drink tap water.Kyle spent about $60 buying the tools needed to analyze the tap water:a laser,a microscope and a micro-computer.“It’s incredibly powerful for the price,” Kyle said.Then he used their family’s garage as his laboratory,doing research on the pollution of drinking water caused by micro-plastics.Kyle hopes to bring to the market a low-cost alternative tool for detecting micro-plastic pollution levels in drinking water.In this way,he can offer help to people who don’t have access to water filtration(过滤) systems.He has applied for a patent.Kyle said his sister Emily,a freshman at Stanford University,inspired his interest in environmental research.She was recognized nationally for developing a water collection device.They have founded the Clearwater Innovation program to advocate for clean water through social media platforms and organize community cleanup events.5.What do we know about Kyle?A.He is good at adapting sci-fi works.B.He entered many novel contests.C.He received an award for his invention.D.He’s found microscopic particles in water.6.What led to Kyle’s creation of NEREID?A.People’s lack of clean drinking water.B.People’s poor living conditions.C.His desire to be a community leader.D.His family’s encouragement.7.Which of the following best describes Kyle?A.Considerate and brave.B.Optimistic and honest.C.Determined and humorous.D.Responsible and creative.8.What’s the text mainly about?A.The introduction of NEREID.B.A boy’s contribution to literature.C.The harm of polluted water.D.A US schooler’s water solution.C(2022河北保定高三一模)A new UN report is set to reveal that up to 1 million species face extinction because of human actions.We are causing a mass extinction event,and critically we cannot separate one environmental crisis from another.The biodiversity loss cannot be separated from climate change,or from human population growth or pollution or plastics in our oceans.These challenges are all interconnected.If we continue to consider these problems separately,solutions will continue to emerge far too slowly.The connections between these crises make solutions seem all too difficult.But in fact,a solution to one problem will unavoidably make a positive impact on many others too.More than 28,000 people are dying because of polluted air each year in Britain and air pollution is linked to experiences of mental disease and a reduction in educational achievement.It’s not rocket science:improving air quality in our cities by cutting polluting vehicles will bring a vast range of benefits to human health,and help deal with climate change,too.George Monbiot advocates taking land out of meat production and rewilding it.This will not only boost biodiversity enormously but will also deal with global warming because those rewilded,rewetted lands will capture significantly more carbon.If these lands are also opened up for us to enjoy,our physical and mental health will be better.Thus,we repair the ecology of destruction.It can be difficult to know what we can do as individuals—but at least we all possess an increasingly understanding of how farming,consumption and energy-use impact upon the planet.If everyone makes a small change,that will make a difference to our planet.We’re not struggling to find ideas to solve problems either globally or locally.It’s action we’re lacking,in the government and beyond,as individuals and together as a species.If we act now,we may be surprised at how these seemingly vast problems decrease quicker than we imagine.9.What does the first paragraph mainly tell us?A.The age of mass extinction has arrived.B.Environmental crises are interrelated.C.Humans are to blame for mass extinction.D.Environmental crises should be solved separately.10.Why are rewilded lands beneficial to controlling global warming?A.They attract tourists.B.They provide habitat for birds.C.They take in carbon.D.They boost biodiversity.11.What does the author call on people to do?A.Take action now.B.Find a better idea.C.Cooperate with others.D.Turn to the government.12.Where does this text probably come from?A.A news report.B.A scientific journal.C.A climate handbook.D.A biology textbook.考点分类练(二)细节理解题——间接信息类【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文。

The train approached the seaside town where I was going to spend my holidays. I went into the corridor to 41 my legs. I stayed there a short while, breathing in the fresh sea air and 42 a few words with one of the passengers, whom I had met earlier on the 43 .When I turned to go back to my 44 , I happened to glance into the compartment (车厢) next to mine. Sitting there was a man who many years before had been my neighbor. He was a great 45 , I remembered; it used to take hours to 46 him once he began a conversation. I was not at all 47 when he went to live in another 48 of London. We had not met since then, nor did I wish to meet him now, when 49 was about to begin.50 at that moment he was too busy talking to the man opposite him to catch sight of me. I slipped back into my compartment, took down my two suitcases and 51 them to the far end of the corridor so as to be ready to get off the train as soon as it stopped.The moment the train came to a halt (停止), I called a porter, who in no time at all had carried my luggage out of the station and 52 me a taxi. As I drove towards my small hotel on the outskirts of the town, I breathed a deep sigh of relief at my narrow 53 . There was little chance that I should run into my 54 ex-neighbor again.When I reached the hotel, I went 55 to my room and rested there until it was time for dinner. Then I went down to the diningroom and 56 a drink. I had barely 57 the glass to my lips when an all too 58 voice greeted me. I had not escaped from the tiresome neighbor after all! He grasped me warmly by the hand and insisted that we 59 a table in the dinning-room. “This is a pleasant 60 ,” he said. “I never expected to see you again after all these years.”41.A.reach B.extend C.loosen D.stretch42.A.changing B.exchanging C.talking through D.talking about43.A.stand B.department C.station D.stop44.A.seat B.corridor C. room D.office45.A.poet B. talker C.speaker D.hero46.A.look up to B.take care of C.pay attention to D. get away from47.A.happy B.sorry C.afraid D.content48.A.part B.way C.point D.store49.A.work day B.school day C. holiday D.conversation50.A.Happy B.

It’s surely a good event. Any touch-a-truck event is good.”Middlesex District Attorney Marian Ryan and her office are sponsoring the Summer Safety events throughout the county. At each event, children will have a chance to meet police officers and firefighters from various communities, inspect the various vehicles and have pizza and receive free T-shirts.In addition, for parents, there are numerous pieces of literature about various safety issues, such as leaving a child in a hot car and pool safety. “We’ve spent a lot of time focusing on safety issues,” said Ryan. “It’s al so a good opportunity for the children to get to meet police officers. It’s a nice thing to be able to do.” Trained child safety seat installers were on hand, so people could have a child safety seat installed or have an existing car seat inspected to make sure that they are properly installed. “You’d be surprised by how many car seats we find that aren’t properly installed,” Ryan said.Sudbury Police Chief Scott Nix said such events are a good way for children and police officers to meet when there is not an emergency situation. “It’s good to build community relations because the children are our future,” said Nix. “It’s good for them to see us in a different light, not just when we go on a call. It’s a good way to build trust when there’s not a situation taking place.” Wayland Police Chief Robert Irving said the idea for the event was a good one by Ryan. “This is the first time that we’ve had one of these,” said Irving. “The district attorney has brought a lot of good information and the children get to ha ve fun.”1.

All it takes is grabbing a book and a few loved ones, and sharing the joy of reading. “Taking out that book, like I’m going to do on March 2, and looking at those who’ll clap their hands and start reading the book with you, because they’ve memorized it, you can tell someone has lovingly sat with them and read it,” Eskelsen García says.1.

BIn the mid-1950s, I was a somewhat bored early-adolescent male student who believed that doing any more than necessary was wasted effort. One day, this approach threw me into embarrassmentIn Mrs. Totten’s eighth-grade math class at Central Avenue School in Anderson, Indiana, we were learning to add and subtract decimals (小数).Our teacher typically assigned daily homework, which would be recited in class the following day. On most days, our grades were based on our oral answer to homework questions.Mrs. Totten usually walked up and down the rows of desks requesting answers from student after student in the order the questions had apeared on our homework sheets. She would start either at the zxxk front or the back of the classroom and work toward the other end.Since I was seated near the middle of about 35 students, it was easy to figure out which questions I might have to answer. This particular time, I had completed my usual two or three problems according to my calculations.英语试题第7页(共12页)What I failed to expect was that several students were absent, which threw off my estimate. As Mrs. Totten made her way fromthe beginning of the class,I desperately tried to determine which math problem I would get. I tried to work it out before she got to me, but I had brain freeze and couldn’t function.When Mrs. T otten reached my desk,she asked what answer I’d got for problem No. 14. “I…I didn’t get anything,” I answered,and my face felt warm.“Correct,” she said.It turned out that the correct answer was zero.What did I learn that day? First, always do all your homework. Second, in real life it isn’t always what you say but how you say it that matters.

Note that there are two more sentences than you need.A.The cultural breakthrough came in 2014 with a very specific podcast—Serial.B.But if you are a celebrity, podcasts can provide a new branch of business.C.And now, despite the growth in smartphones offering high-definition pictures, the popularity ofpodcasts is booming.D.Now the boom in podcasting embraces a huge range of talent, from professional broadcasters toenthusiasts offering insights on anything and everything.E.Podcasts offer a chance to speak to a very precise selection of people.F.Bui where did this trend for making portable audio programmes begin?The PodcaH (播客)BoomDo you prefer to watch TV or listen to the radio? There was a time when some people thought moving pictures would spell the end of tuning in to the radio for entertainment and information. But radio survived and boomed. (67)Perhaps the growth in podcasting is not surprising—it offers a digital audio file that can be downloaded and stored for listening at any time. It can also be streamed from the internet and played on a computer or MP3 player. And it's not just broadcasters, like the BBC, who are producing podcasts: now commercial broadcasters, individuals and companies with no connection to broadcasting are making them. In fact, anyone with something to say, and a few pounds to spend on the equipment, can get involved.The digilal audio files are cheap to produce and, thanks to the internet, easy to distribute. (68) Journalist Ben Hammersley told the BBC that “two changes transformed the market-one cultural and one technical.M A technical breakthrough came in 2012 when Apple produced the iPhone podcast app. which proved a popular library system for listeners. This was followed by a dramatic improvement in inexpensive recording production and editing equipment. Finally, the development of 4G mobile phone connections and widespread wi-fi meant listeners could browse, download or stream shows whenever they wanted.(69) It was a piece of investigative journalism hosted by Sarah Koenig, telling a non-fiction story over multiple episodes (集).To date, the first and second seasons of the show have had more than 340 million downloads. Advertisers soon realized the money-making potential of this and other successful podcasts. And where the audience goes, the money follows. From 2017 to 2018 advertising spending on podcasts in the UK went from $10.6m(£8.5m) to SI9.7m, an 85% increase, according to Ovum.(70)In fact, as Ben Hammersley explains, podcasting has brought people into broadcasting who would normally never have seen the inside of a recordin g studio. “There are of course professional podcasters, but there are many more people who create quality content and do it for nothing,M he says. "And that is changing not just the way we listen to audio but the way the broadcasting industry works.”Summary WritingDirections: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.Teaching Children about ForgivenessIf you've seen your children struggle to forgive someone fbr hurting them, you know that forgiveness is complicated. After all, forgiveness is complicated for adults, too. At times, wc wonder why we're trying to forgive someone anyway; later, we might think we've forgiven them, only to experience a sudden burst of anger. Indeed, it takes many years for us to grasp the meaning of forgiveness as we grow up.It's understandable that children may feel hurt or angry when a friend docs something less-than-kind to them. Maybe the friend said something unkind or broke something precious, embarrassed them, excluded them, or told their secrets. Children may be tempted to get even with a friend who's done them wrong, by doing something worse or telling everyone how terrible the friend is, but trying to get revenge only escalates (升级)the conflict.Parents can play an important role in teaching children about forgiveness. Children watch how important adults in their lives respond when someone does something unkind. Do they complain to others or speak directly to the person involved? How long docs it take them to get over being mad or hurt? How do they get over it? Parents can teach (heir children about the value of forgiveness by regularly practicing it in their own lives.Sometimes parents can talk with their children about forgiveness, based on where kids are in their cognitive (认知的)and emotional development. For example, children need to understand that no one is perfect, so generously forgiving a well-meaning friend is a caring thing to do. If parents can help children see things a little more from other people's perspective, this will make forgiveness easier. These conversations can change the way children think about forgiveness and help them emotionally recover when they inevitably experience harm and unfair treatment from others in life.IV.Translation Directions: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.72.开车时遮挡车牌号是违法的。

It is impossible to make no mistakes all one’s life. My grandpa Nybakken, a carpenter, is no 16 . Several decades ago he made a mistak e — a(n) 17 mistake, though.On a cold Saturday, Mother’s fath er was building some wooden cases for the clothes his 18 was sending to an orphanage (孤儿院) in China. On his way home, he 19 into his shirt pocket to find his glasses, but they were gone. He remembered putting them there that morning, so he drove back to the church. His search proved 20 .When he 21 replayed his earlier actions, he realized what happened. The glasses had slipped out of his pocket unnoticed and fallen into one of the cases, which he had nailed shut. His brand new glasses, having 22 him $20 that very morning, were heading for China! He had to drive home 23 .Several months later, the director of the orphanage came to give a report on Sunday night at my grandfather’s church, 24 Grandpa and his family also attended.“But most of all,” he said, “I must thank you for the25 you sent last year. You see, the bandits(土匪) had just 26 through the orphanage, destroying everything, including my glasses. I was desperate.”“27 I had the money, there was simply no way of 28 those glasses. 29 not being able to see well, I experienced headaches every day. Then your cases arrived.

But counterfeiting also can involve all sorts of consumer goods and manufactured products. From well-known brand names such as Calvin Klein jeans to auto parts, counterfeiters have found ways to produce goods that look authentic. In some instances, counterfeit products look better than the original!The demand of brand-name products has helped counterfeiting grow into a very profitable business throughout the world and into a serious problem for legal manufacturers and consumers alike. Faulty counterfeit parts have caused more than two dozen crashes. Most counterfeit auto parts do not meet federal safety standards.Counterfeiting hurts manufacturers in many ways. Analysts estimate that, in the United Statesalone, annual revenue loss runs form $ 6 billion to $ 8 billion. Perhaps even worse, consumers blame the innocent manufacturers when they unknowingly buy a counterfeit pro duct and find it doesn’t perform as expected. Sometimes entire economies can suffer. For instance, when farmers in Kenya and Zaire used counterfeit fertilizers, both countries lost most crops.By copying other firm’s products, counterfeiters avoid research and development costs and most marketing costs. High-tech products such as computers and their software products are especially easy to attack. As long as counterfeiting is profitable, large quantities of products are available to copy, and the laws are difficult to enforce, counterfeiters can be expected to proper for a long time.36.The word “counterfeiting” most probably means ______.A.making things of poor quality for profit B.making things of good quality for profit C.illegal making of things by copying D.legal making of things by copying37.The most appropriate title for the passage would be ______.A.The Effects of Counterfeiting B.The Problem of CounterfeitingC.The Cause of Counterfeiting D.The Profit of Counterfeiting38.It can be inferred from the passage that hand-made products are “______.”A.easier to counterfeit than high-tech productsB.more difficult to counterfeit than high-tech productsC.less profitable to counterfeit than high-tech productsD.more profitable to counterfeit than high-tech products39.The quality of most counterfeit products is ______.A.not up to the standards of AmericaB.up to the standards of AmericaC.so poor that few people want to buy the productsD.so good that most people prefer them to the authentic ones36--39 CBBA第四部分对话填空A: I first became interested in do-it-yourself several years ago.
