Ironically, it is also around this time that children begin to develop enough personal character to refuse to obey. The "terrible twos" are categorized by a lack of understanding. Somewhere between three and four, children begin to acquire the skills to reason. It is during this time they watch how other children and adults reason. If we're not careful, the children will watch us model a world of "NOs".By the time a person turns eighteen, how many times have they been told no? I haven't found any studies that even attempted to track this statistic, but I'm sure if the number is 20,000 by three, then at eighteen that number has multiplied. You can do the math.Anyway, I think I know why we say no. We say no to protect. We say no to direct. We say no to stop potential confusion. However, do we sometimes say no just for the sake of saying no? Do we say no because we have internalized(内在化)all of the "NOs" we've heard over the years and we feel it is finally our time to say no to someone else?The internalized no can damage the growth process of dreams in infancy as quickly as it can weaken a three-year-old. And we wonder why we run intopeople with big, un-accomplished dreams who have a bit of a chip on their shoulder. They have to take on the 20,000 NOs. However, the thing that keeps them going is thepossibility of the power of ONE YES! Just as it only takes one book to make a writer a Pulitzer Prize Winner, it only takes one word to change the course of your day. That word is YES!4. What do we know about two- year- olds?A. They understand well.B. They often say no to others.C. They think logically.D. They don't do all they're told.5. What effect does saying no have on children?A. They lose all their dreams.B. They aren't easy to succeed.C. They don't make mistakes.D. They never say yes to others.6. Which word best describes the author's attitude to a world of "NOs"?A. Tolerant.B. Disapproving.C. Favorable.D. Carefree.7. What is the text?A. A how-to guide.B. A survey report.C. An opinion essay.D. A short story.CIs renting clothes greener than buying them? Sustainable (可持续的) fashion expert Elizabeth Cline isn’t sure. Clothing renting is a hot new industry and businessmen are trying to attract shoppers who care about the environment. Last summer alone,Urban Outfitters, Macy’s, Bloomingdale’s American EagleandBanana Republicall announced renting services – a sure sign of changing times.But is renting fashion actually more environmentally-friendly than buying it? And if so, how much more? Journalist and author Elizabeth Cline researched this question in a feature article for Elle, and she concluded that it’s not as sustainable as it seems.Take shipping for example, which has to go two ways if an item is rented – receiving and returning. Cline writes that consumer transportation has the second largest carbon footprint of our collective fashion habit after manufacturing.Then there’s the burden of washing, which has to happen for every item when it’s returned, regardless of whether or not it was worn. For most renting services, this usually means dry-cleaning, which is a polluting process. All the renting services that Cline looked into have replaced perchloroethylene, a carcinogenic (致癌的) air pollutants that’s still used by 70 percent of US dry cleaners, with hydrocarbon (碳氢化合物) alternatives, although these aren’t great either. They can produce harmful waste and air pollution if not handled correctly.Lastly, Cline fears that renting services will increase our appetite for fast fashion, simply because it’s so easilyaccessible. There’s something called “share-washing” that makes people have more wasteful behaviors because a product or service is shared and thus is considered more eco-friendly. Uber is one example of this: advertised as a way to share rides and reduce car ownership, and yet it has been proven to discourage walking, bicycling and public transportation use.Renting clothes is still preferable to buying them cheap and throwing them into the bin after wearing them a few times, but we shouldn’t let the availability of these services make us self-satisfied. There’s an even better step – and that’s wearing what we already have.8. What do we know about Elizabeth Cline from the passage?A. She is trying to attract shoppers.B. She is an expert and journalist.C. She has created “share-washing”.D. She never rents clothes.9. Why does renting services increase people’s appetite for fast fashion?A. Because it is handled correctly.B. Because it is transported easily.C. Because it is fairly eco-friendly.D. Because it is easily accessible.10. What can we infer from the passage?A. Clothing renting became popular ten years ago.B. Consumer transportation has the largest carbon footprint.C. Renting clothes deserves further consideration.D. Uber is a good example of sharing rides.11. Which section of a newspaper does the text probably come from?A. Environment.B. Technology.C. Travel.D. Medicine.DA cheap printed sensor could transmit wildfire warnings. Wildfires have recently destroyed regions across the world, and theirgravityis increasing. Hoping to reduce harm, researchersled by Yapei Wang, a Chinese chemist ofRenminUniversity, say they have developed an inexpensive sensor to detect such fires earlier with less effort.Current detection methods rely heavily on human watchfulness, which can delay an effective response. Most wildfires are reported by the general public, and other alerts come from routine foot patrols and watchtower observers. Passing planes and satellites also occasionally spot something, but “the fire first appears on the ground," Wang says. “ When you see the fire from the sky, it is too late. ”The team says its new sensor can be placed near tree trunks' bases and send a wireless signal to a nearbyreceiver if there is a dramatic temperature increase. That heat also powers the sensor itself, without replacing batteries. The team printed the substances onto ordinary paper to create a sensor for just $ 0.40.But improving coordination among the different agencies involved in firefighting is even more crucial to address, says Graham Kent, an earthquake expert at theUniversityofNevada,Reno, who was not part of the study.Kentis director of ALERTWildfire, a network that uses cameras and crowd sourcing to watch for fires inCalifornia,NevadaandOregon. “The whole way that you respond to a fire until it's put out is like a ballet," he says. “You'd have to choreograph (设计) it just so, with resources precisely used at the right time and place and in the right order from detection to confirmation to assignment to extinguishment (熄灭).Fire detection is just step one.Wang says his team's next steps are to extend the device'ssignal range beyond the current 100 meters, which can limit practical use, and to develop a protective shield for it. The transmitter's effectiveness, he notes, will also need to be examined in the field ahead.12. What does the underlined word “gravity” in paragraph 1 probably mean?A. Pull.B. Extinction.C. Popularity.D. Severity.13. What do we know about the sensor?A. Its price remains high.B. Its batteries are replaceable.C. It can detect fires earlier and easier.D. It can reduce firefighters' pain.14. What doesKentmean in paragraph 4?A. Firefighting is easy but crucial.B. Fire detection resources are rich.C. Putting out a fire is an orderly activity.D. Technology is the key to extinguishing a fire.15. What's the plan for the new sensor according to Wang?A. Improving and testing it.B. Limiting its use and transmission.C. Examing and reducing its signal range.D. Getting it on the market ahead of time.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

However, it was an attraction for others to increase their physical activity. With the change of working from home, some physical activity was reduced. People took this newly freed up time as a chance to add exercise to their day, with online fitness programs and health apps (应用软件) reporting an increase.However, the early drive to exercise appears to have been short-lived for many, with a study comparing activity levels between the first and second waves of COVID-19 in Victoria finding most people reported a reduction in their physical activity levels the second time around because of a shortage of encouragement. A study found that COVID-19 has reduced physical activity and increased sedentary (久坐不动的) behavior, and the effects could be lasting.Continuing concerns about COVID-19 have led to carefulness about returning to public spaces such as gyms. But also, with many people changing their exercise habits and setting up home gyms during the pandemic, it’s become much more convenient to exercise at home. It’s clear for many of us that COVID-19 changed how and how much we exercise. But the changes don’t necessarily have to be for the worse.People who changed to online workouts (锻炼), fitness apps and home gyms during the pandemic said their exercise was less satisfying, less enjoyable and they felt less active com-pared with doing exercise in gyms. Besides the physical effects, people reported missing the social communication, friendship, and being avoidable of the gym. In-person classes alsooffer the advantages of management and instruction, which can help make sure workouts are completed safely and effectively.However, online workouts, fitness apps and near-home workouts are likely here to stay, and offer many advantages, such as no need to travel to the gym and convenience, making it easy to fit in a workout while working and shouldering family responsibilities.4．How do some people add exercise to their day during the pandemic?A．By returning to public places.B．By driving to a lonely park.C．By turning to the Internet.D．By taking face-to-face classes. 5．What can we learn about exercise during the pandemic from the text?A．People have changed exercise habits.B．People like to build their home gym.C．People strongly wish to exercise.D．People refuse to go back to public gyms. 6．What does paragraph 4 mainly focus on?A．The disadvantages of exercising at home.B．The way to exercise during the pandemic.C．The examples of good exercise at home.D．The reasons for people changing home exercise.7．What does the author think of exercising at home in the last paragraph?A．It is difficult.B．It is worrying.C．It is challenging.D．It is helpful.School field trips have been part of the educational experience for children across the US for decades. While many schools believe there’s value in letting students develop socially with out-of-classroom experiences, measuring the influence and the value of field trips is difficult. And showing the value of out-of- class time can be challenging for teachers tasked with providing a good education.As such, many art venues, science museums and zoos have reported drops in field trip attendance. Teachers and students have also reported falling numbers of school supported trips, particularly for minority students in academically low-performing schools.But thanks to new research from Brigham Young University and the Heritage Foundation, the value of field trips is finally being understood. The study used an experimental design and randomly assigned fourth-and fifth-grade students from fifteen elementary schools in Atlanta to join in three field trips during a school year. The field tripsincluded a trip to a gallery, a live theater performance and a symphony concert.Students who attended three different field trips in the fourth or fifth grade scored higher on end-of-grade exams, received higher course grades, were absent less often and had fewer behavioral problems. Besides academic(学业的) improvements，students who took part in field trips were more likely to express a desire to have careerism related fields in the future. In parents’ opinion, they are very interested in the academic quality of their children’s schools, but they’re also interested in the social skills and social engagement habits they develop. Field trips are easy ways to help facilitate both.“We expected that field trips wouldn’t harm test scores. However, we never predicted the all-around improvements for students who joined in these field trips,” said Eriekson, a researcher in the study. “One potential reason for this is that field trips widen students’ world concepts and introduce them to new ideas. Similarly, students might be more engaged in school thanks to field trips.Students find school more exciting and want to try harder in class.”8．Why do the number of school field trips drop?A．Teachers give students too many tasks.B．Schools have great problems with money.C．The value of field trips is hard to be measured.D．Students have difficulty in academic learning.9．What is the theme of the field trips in the study?A．Art.B．Nature.C．Sports.D．Technology.10．What can we infer about students who joined in the study?A．They have more interests.B．They have more self-control.C．They become more creative.D．They become more expressive.11．What is Erickson’s attitude towards the result of the study?A．Doubtful.B．Surprised.C．Disappointed.D．Negative.Listen-and-Repeat Singing Method Benefits Foreign Language Learning Have you ever found yourself in this situation: You hear a song you used to sing when you were a child—a bit of nostalgia (怀旧) or “blast from the past”, as we say. But it is not a distant childhood memory. The words come back to you as clearly as when you sang them all those years ago.Researchers at the University of Edinburgh studied the relationship between music and remembering a foreign language. They found that remembering words in a song was the best way to remember even one of the most difficult languages.Here is what they did. Researchers took 60 adults and randomly divided them into three groups of 20. Then they gave the groups three different types of “listen-and-repeat” learning conditions. Researchers had one group simply speak the words. They had the second group speak the words to a rhythm, or beat. And they asked the third group to sing the words.All three groups studied words from the Hungarian language for 15minutes. Then they took part in a series of language tests to see what they remembered.Why Hungarian, you may ask? Researchers said they chose Hungarian because not many people know the language. It does not share any roots with Germanic or Romance languages, such as Italian or Spanish. After the tests were over, the singers came out on top. The people who learned these new Hungarian words by singing them showed a higher overall performance. They did the best in four out of five of the tests. They also performed two times better than those who simply learned the words by speaking them.Dr. Katie Overy says singing could lead to new ways to learn a foreign language. The brain likes to remember things when they are contained in a catchy or memorable tune.Dr. Ludke said the findings could help those who struggle to learn foreign languages. On the University of Edinburgh’s website Dr. Ludke writes, “This study provides the first experimental evidence that a listen-and-repeat singing method can support foreign language learning, and opens the door for future research in this area.”12．According to the research, which of the following is true?A．The findings can help all foreign language learners learn better.B．The group singing the words can generally remember the words best.C．The 60 adults were divided into three groups according to their ages.D．Researchers studied the relationship between music and remembering languages. 13．Why was Hungarian used in the experiment?A．Because Hungarian is easy to learn.B．Because researchers are fluent in Hungarian.C．Because Hungarian is unknown to many people.D．Because Hungarian is rooted in Germanic language.14．What can we infer from the passage?A．Hungarian is very popular in the UK.B．Foreign language teachers can use music to help with their teaching.C．People without music talent can never learn foreign languages well.D．The listen-and-repeat singing method is the best way to learn a language. 15．What’s the purpose of the author’s writing the passage?A．To compare different language learning methods.B．To introduce an experimental result.C．To call on people to do future research.D．To help those who struggle to learn foreign languages.二、七选五Alternative Sources of EnergyThe world’s number one energy source is not man-made. It is much bigger than anything that Man could ever dream of designing or manufacturing, and in fact produces all the energy needs of everybody on Earth. 16 . Apart from it, other energy sources are being used by Man to help the development of the modern civilization.Solar EnergySolar energy is a simple and already familiar source of more direct renewable energy production. Its use is on the increase as technology improves. 17 . In India there are plans to power 100,000 villages and install 500,000 solar powered telephones. During the course of one year, Europe receives approximately 1000-kilowatt hours of solar energy each square meter.Water EnergyWater power is used in countries that have a lot of natural rivers and streams. 18 , because in order to generate hydroelectric power (水力发电), engineers must first build a dam to block a river and create a reservoir. Power is generated as the water flow from reservoirs(水库) is directed to turn electric generators.Wind Energy19 . Many countries have also traditionally used wind as a source of power by building windmills. Some windmills even have been used for more than a century, but there has been a significant increase since the 1970s. They are already a familiar sight in Netherlands, Denmark and on windy islands such as Las Palmas in the Canary Islands.Of course there are many other alternative sources of energy (geothermal power, tidal power, etc.), which are currently being researched and used in countries around the world. These sources often create less pollution than traditional sources of power and are becoming more economical to use as technology improves. 20 .A．Solar energy is said to keep down the costs of maintenance (维护) and energyB．It is happening in both developed countries and new economies like IndiaC．The best source of energy is wind energyD．They are the logical choice towards a more environmentally conscious planetE．That energy source is certainly the SunF．Another form of energy with us for centuries is the use of wind powerG．Some environmentalists claim that this type of power can be harmful to local ecosystems三、完形填空One winter nine years ago, I volunteered at a homeless shelter in Los Angeles, 21 meals for people.

This section aims to test their ability to understand and analyze written texts, as well as their comprehension of vocabulary and grammar.The second section assesses students' vocabulary and grammar skills. They are given a range of vocabulary and grammar exercises, such as completing sentences with the correct word or choosing the appropriate grammatical structure for a given sentence. This section aims to evaluate their knowledge and application of English vocabulary and grammar rules.The third section is a writing task. Students are asked to write an essay on a given topic within a specified time limit. This section tests their ability to express their thoughts and ideas in written form, as well as their coherence and organization of arguments.To excel in the Gaokao English exam, students need to focus on several key areas.

His 90-pound pit bull (斗牛犬), Buddy, was playing around nearby, doing what dogs do: getting into trouble. And this time, Buddy was getting into a whole lot of trouble.The unmistakable sound that no one wants to hear alone in the woods caught Benham’s attention. It was the deep, strange roar of a black bear. Benham wheeled around to see the beast, which Benham figured weighed around 350 pounds, some 100 feet away. In an instant, the bear fastened on to Buddy’s head and started dragging him away.Benham, a thin, fit, 24-year-old, took off after them. “Honestly,” he told CBS13, “the only thing I could think of was ‘save my baby’.” He lowered his shoulder and ran quickly towards the bear. But it only seized Buddy tightly. Benham grabbed the bear by the throat. Nothing. He tried getting its mouth open but the jaw was locked tight. Benham resorted to street fighting —punching the bear over and over around its mouth and nose. It worked. The bear dropped the dog and ran off into the woods.Buddy was in bad shape. His face was bloodied. He had a bite mark clear through his lip and one that barely missed an eye.“My first thought was that I was going to lose him,” Benham said. He picked up Buddy, put him into his car, and sped off to a nearby veterinarian. Buddy’s surgery took nearly four hours. Benham watched the procedure through a window, waiting for a miracle.This was the second time Benham had rescued Buddy, says CBS13. The first was from a shelter a few years ago. “If it was your kid, what would you do?” he asked. Nodding toward Buddy, he added, “That’s my kid.”4．What is the text mainly about?A．A brave rescue.B．A regular routine.C．A fearless pet dog.D．A demanding surgery.5．Why did the author mention the weight of the bear in paragraph 2?A．To prove the excitement of Benham.B．To describe the fear in Buddy’s heart.C．To indicate the difficulty of the rescue.D．To show the bear’s starvation and fierceness.6．How was the dog finally saved from the bear?A．Benham defeated the beast by grabbing its throat.B．Benham ra n towards the beast with dropped shoulder.C．Benham punched the beast’s mouth and nose repeatedly.D．Benham forced open the beast’s mouth by unlocking its jaw.7．What can we know about Benham and Buddy?A．Buddy once saved Benham.B．They used to share a shelter.C．Benham had no kid but Buddy.D．They had very close relationship.When we are desperately searching for our glasses, wallet or keys, we might wish to have a photo-graphic memory, but the truth is we are designed to forget.In fact, the majority of what we experience in a given day is likely to be forgotten in less than 24 hours. And that is a good thing. Think of all the passing encounters with people you will never see again and the times you spend waiting in a queue at the supermarket. If our brains hoarded (贮藏) every moment of every experience, we would never be able to find the information we need among an ever-increasing pile of information.So, if memory is not supposed to be a comprehensive collection of the past, what is the point of remembering at all?To answer this question, it helps to think about what it means to remember in the first place. For more than 25 years, I have studied how we are able to recall past events, an ability known as “episodic memory”. It is described as the uniquely human capabilityfor “mental time travel, roaming at will over what has happened as readily as over what might happen, independently of the physical laws that govern the universe”. I first read this description of mental time travel when I was a graduate student, and I was deeply sceptical. Now, with the wisdom of age, I understand what it meant.When you recall a rich episodic memory, there is a noticeable feeling of being transported back to a point in your past, a specific time and place. For instance, the smell of freshly baked pastries might remind you of having breakfast with your grandmother. Findings from my lab and others have shown that, at the moment of remembering, the brain appears to return a bit to the state that it was in at the time, enabling us to relive these past experiences.This is why, if you have misplaced your keys, it can be helpful to put yourself, mentally into the context where you last saw them. Getting in touch with the sights, sounds and thoughts from an earlier time period can be an effective way of accessing those memories.8．Why does the author think forgetfulness is a good thing?A．We are born to forget the past events.B．It helps to find the needed information.C．All the encounters are not that pleasant.D．Our brains fail to hoard important moments.9．What do we know about “episodic memory”?A．It partly depends on the physical laws.B．It explains our ability to remember the past.C．It becomes obvious with the wisdom of age.D．It focuses on purposeful mental time travel.10．What is the author’s purpose in mentioning freshly baked pastries?A．To express love for grandmother.B．To share a feeling of time travel.C．To illustrate a vivid episodic memory.D．To forget precious past experiences. 11．What can we do to find the misplaced keys?A．Recall the situation where we saw them.B．Search the labs where we do experiments.C．Think in our mind what they looked like.D．Write our real thoughts related to them.Computer scientists have hoped to give robots technical skills to help them recognize, process and react to humor. But these attempts have mostly failed. AI (人工智能) experts say that in many cases, attempts to make robots understand humor end up producing funny results, but not in the way they were supposed to.Tristan Miller studied more than 10,000 puns (双关语) in one research project. The pun is a kind of joke that uses a word with two meanings. For example, you could say, “Balloons do not like pop music.” The word “pop” can be a way of saying popular music; or can mean the sound a balloon makes when it explodes. But a robot might not get the joke. Tristan Miller says that is because humor is a kind of creative language that is extremely difficult for computer intelligence to understand.Allison Bishop is a computer scientist and she also performs stand-up comedy. She explained that machines are trained to look for patterns. Comedy, on the other hand, relies on things that stay dose to a pattern, kit not completely within it. To be funny, humor should also not be predictable, Bishop said. This sets a great obstacle for a machine to recognize and understand what is funny.Bishop says since robots have great difficulty understanding humor, she feels like it gives her better job security as a comedy performer. It even made her parents happy when her brother decided to become a full-time comedy writer because it meant he wouldn’t be replaced by a machine, she added.Despite the difficulties, Darmstadt University’s Miller says there are good reasons to keep trying to teach humor to robots. It could make machines more relatable, especially if they can learn to understand sarcasm (讽刺), he noted. Humans use sarcasm to say one thing but mean another. But Kiki Hempelmann thinks differently. “Teaching AI systems humor may make them find it where it isn’t, and they may use it where it’s inappropriate,” he said. “Maybe bad AI will start killing people because it thinks something is funny,” he added.12．What does the author most probably want to show in Paragraph 1?A．Robots’ influence on the scientific development.B．Robots’ challenges of making sense of humor.C．Computer scientists’ devotion to technical skills.D．Computer scientists’ concern about AI’s development.13．Examples mentioned in Paragraphs 2 and 3 are intended to ___________-.A．prove robots do poorly in funny workB．explain robots aren’t as intelligent as humansC．describe language is complex and changeableD．show language can’t be taught in a set pattern14．What does the underlined word “obstacle” in Paragraph 3 mean?A．Barrier.B．Record.C．Message.D．Possibility.15．What can we infer about teaching AI system humor from the last paragraph?A．It will end up in vain.B．It may be a double-edged sword.C．It may help improve humans’ humor.D．It will attract more computer scientists.Self-learning can help you develop important skills and gain valuable knowledge. Understanding strategies for self-learning is important. They can help you study new concepts with ease. 16 .Determine your learning style. People often prefer to learn new information or a new skill using varied approaches. 17 by exploring different learning styles and understanding your own learning process.Find a purpose. Determine what you want to learn about and why you want to be a self-learner. 18 . Then, consider reflecting on how it might affect your life right now and how you might plan to use it in the future. For instance, if you plan to learn fiction writing, you can decide whether you’re interested in seeking a publishing career or maintaining it as a hobby.19 . This can help you focus your efforts. It may be helpful to choose specific options, so you can optimize (优化) the steps of your self-learning process. For example, if you’re practicing a programming language like HTML, you can make a goal to design your own website with certain functions using the knowledge you’ve learned.Determine a schedule. To create an effective plan, it may be helpful to create an agenda foryour self-learning sessions. 20 and estimate how long each task might take to complete. Depending on your preferences, you can plan your sessions using a physical notebook, an informal to-do list or spreadsheet software.A．Assess your strengthsB．Be sure to set reasonable goalsC．Identify a skill set you’re interested in learningD．Here’re some tips for effective self-learning practicesE．Consider giving yourself a set of achievable deadlinesF．You can find the most useful methods and techniques for yourselfG．Having a specific goal can also help you set accurate self-learning sessions二、完形填空As an artist, I am constantly struck by the profound impact that art can have on people’s lives.

She suffered brain cancer and her health got worse despite some medical treatment. But she realized that in a way, she was luckier than some other people. She had insurance to help pay for her medical care. But Ms. McIntyre and her husband, Mr. Gregory, knew that many people with cancer face tough decisions because of the costs of medical care and wind up owing far more than they can pay.Though her health was failing, Ms. McIntyre decided to help pay off the medical debts of as many people as she possibly could. The couple began donating money to a group called RIP Medical Debt, which is committed to working to pay off the unpaid medical debts of others. The group can pay off medical bills for about 100 times less money than they cost. In other words, for every 100 donated, the group can pay off 10,000 in unpaid medical bills.Unfortunately, Ms. McIntyre passed away before long. Mr. Gregory posted a message for Ms. McIntyre on her social media accounts. “If you’re reading this, I have passed away,” the post began. Then the post explained, “To celebrate my life, I’ve arranged to buy up others’ medical debts and then destroy the debts.”The couple had set up a page on a website to raise money for this purpose. They had hoped to raise about $20,000. Nevertheless, Ms. McIntyre’s last post attracted a lot of attention. The donations on her web page quickly passed the total goal. In less than a week, the site had raised 10 times more than expected and the donations are still coming in. By November 22, 2023, Ms.McIntyre’s web page had raised over $627,000, or enough money to pay off about $60 million in medical debts.Mr. Gregory planned a special event in December to celebrate Ms. McIntyre’s life and to announce how many millions of dollars of medical debts her efforts had paid for.4．Why did Ms. McIntyre feel luckier than some other people?A．The doctors eventually cured her.B．Her disease didn’t become worse.C．She had a decent job before being ill.D．She had security about medical care. 5．How did Ms. McIntyre and her husband help others?A．By paying for their daily debts.B．By giving away money to them.C．By ridding them of debts from treatments.D．By purchasing medical insurance for them. 6．What is paragraph 4 mainly about?A．The public involvement.B．The couple’s commitment.C．The operation of a website.D．The increase of medical debts.7．Which of the following words can best describe Ms. McIntyre?A．Humorous and elegant.B．Influential and understanding.C．Cautious and promising.D．Enthusiastic and adaptable.One by one, prejudices are disappearing in the West. People may hold private suspicions that other people’s race or sex makes them inferior—but to say so openly is totally taboo (禁忌). One old prejudice remains undisturbed, though. Just ask a childless person.They are not charged to special taxes, as they were in Soviet Russia; nor are they driven from their homes, as they still are in some poor countries. The childless nonetheless come in for a lot of criticism. Some point out that non-parents are failing to produce the future workers who will pay for their pensions. Childless politicians are charged with not having a proper stake in society. “He talks to us about the future, but he doesn’t have children!” complained Jean-Marie Le Pen, co-founder of the National Front party, of Emmanuel Macron, who went on to win the French presidency. Similar attacks on Theresa May and Angela Merkel also failed but researchers find that many voters quietly agree.If non-breeders are selfish, they have a strange way of showing it. They are more likely to set up charitable foundations than people with children, and much more likely to donate money togood causes. According to one American estimate, the mere fact of not having children raises the amount a person leaves to charity by a little over $10,000. The childless are thus a small but useful counterweight to the world’s parents, who stop social stability by passing on their social and economic advantages to their children.The charge that childless people fail to pull their weight in population is correct, but is less serious than it appears. Those who do not have children do put pressure on public pension systems. Governments have to do unpopular things like making pensions less generous, as Japan has done, or accepting more immigrants, as some Western countries have done. But to sustain public pensions in the long term, countries do not actually need more parents. What they need instead is more babies. It is possible to combine a high rate of childlessness with a high birth rate, provided people who become parents have more than one or two children. That was the pattern in many Western countries a century ago. Ireland, yet another country with a childless leader, still manages it today.The childless also do everyone else a favor by creating wonderful works of art. British novelists have been especially likely to have no offspring: think of Hilary Mantel, P.G Wodehouse and the Bronte sisters. In September last year Britain put Jane Austen on its ten-pound note. That decision was controversial, though it was hard to see why. Few people have written as shrewdly about money or about families even though Austen did not marry, and had no children.8．What is the main idea of Paragraph 2?A．The childless often come under sharp criticism.B．Childlessness is to future workers’ disadvantage.C．Many highly successful people have no childrenD．The childless politicians get attacked in society.9．The childless are prejudiced because people think the childless ______.A．have a strange way to show selfishnessB．set a bad example for young peopleC．are not as generous as those with childrenD．are the government’s financial burden10．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 refer to?A．Accepting more immigrants.B．Reducing the pensions for the aged.C．Encouraging parents to have more children.D．Supporting the political leaders with no children.11．What is the best title for the passage?A．In defense of the childless.B．Prejudice against non-breeders.C．Why don’t they have children?D．Measures to address childlessness.Minimizing the environmental damage that new roads cause is generally regarded as a good thing. But to do that, it helps to understand just how new roads cause the damage of which they are accused.Recently, a group of researchers led by Dr. Gonzalez conducted an experiment and proved that immigration is good for the health of animal populations. A road destroys only a small part of the habitat, thus destroying just a few local populations of creatures. So the argument that road-building itself is bad for biodiversity is not self-evidently correct. Those who nevertheless hold this view say that apparently separate local populations of animals are, in fact, parts of much larger populations connected via migration.According to this theory, when a local population struggles to move about — because of an epidemic, for example — individuals from neighboring communities can fill the gaps.The implications of the theory are straightforward. Cut local populations off from each other and each is more likely to disappear. And roads are good at doing just that. Testing the theory with experimental roads, however, would be expensive. Dr. Gonzalez’s brainwave was to do the whole thing on a much smaller scale.The team studied moss-covered rocks. On some rocks the researchers left the moss untouched; on others they made “roadways” across to leave the moss isolated. After waiting six months, they found that in the disturbed habitats nearly all the bug population had declined compared with undisturbed moss, and 40% of the species had become extinct.The real test came in the second part of the experiment. In this, the researchers removed moss much as before, but they left narrow moss paths to bridge the no-bug’s-land between islands. The islands with bridges did far better than isolated islands — a result that supports the notion that population exchange is necessary to keep an ecosystem healthy.Whether these results can be translated to large-scale ecosystems remains uncertain. But if they can, they would cause more, not less, concern about the ecological effects of road-building. On the other hand, they also suggest a way out. In Britain, tunnels are often built under roads for animals of regular habits, such as badgers (獾), to be able to travel their traditional routes without having to fight with traffic. Extending that principle, perhaps special bridges might be a cheap way of letting man and nature rub along a bit better.12．What’s the main idea of the passage?A．Calling on us to stop building roads for a healthy ecosystem.B．Warning us of potential dangers of animal immigration.C．Informing us of the environmental damage caused by new roads.D．Suggesting a new way to avoid the damage caused by new roads.13．Dr. Gonzalez’s experiment found that __________.A．building roads is expensiveB．immigration is good for animalsC．roads cut off animal immigrationD．tunnels should be built under roads14．How does the author present his point?A．By analyzing facts.B．By giving examples.C．By providing scientific findings.D．By comparing possible effects. 15．According to the passage, which of the following statements will the writer agree with?A．The impact of road-building is not as serious as we thought.B．Road-building is beneficial to animal immigration.C．Environmental damage caused by road-building is still uncertain.D．Environmental damage caused by road-building might be lessened.Want to start a habit? Big behavior change can come from setting small goals. 16 We pressure ourselves to go big. Instead, we should think small. The idea is to make these behavior changes so small that they’re easy to do.First, you take any new habit you want, and you scale it back so that it’s super-tiny. In the case of wanting to reading more, that might mean reading one paragraph. In the case of meditating(冥想), it might be taking three calming breaths. 17 So even when you’re in a rush or you’re sick or you’re distracted, it’s so tiny that you can still do it.18 . Ask yourself, what does this habit come after? For example, reading might come after you sit down on the subway. That might be the perfect time for you to open a book and read a paragraph. Now, you can read more if you want.In addition to making it tiny and then using an existing routine to remind you of it, activate your brain by calling up a positive emotion, by celebrating — whether that’s raising your arms, doing a little dance or singing a song in your head. 19You make these changes and feel successful. 20 So you begin to think, “Oh, I’m the kind of person who tidies up”, “I’m the kind of person who meditates” or “I’m the kind of person who reads.” You find other opportunities to tidy up or meditate or read. So the habit naturally spreads to other parts of your life.A．These big expectations are often unrealistic.B．You start thinking of yourself in those ways.C．It helps you feel successful and form the habit.D．The way you think about yourself starts to change.E．Changing our behaviors can feel like a complicated task.F．You make it so simple that you have no excuse not to do it.G．Then you find where it fits naturally in your existing routine.二、完形填空In a crowded migrant (移民) camp in Tijuana, Mexico, a three-year-old girl wandered 21 toward the exit.

It pays respects to its architectural designer.C. It has a wide range of guest rooms.D. It is open for four months every year.2、B It takes almost two years to grow a pineapple before it's ripe and ready for harvest.For rubber trees, it can take at least six years before latex（橡胶）can be collected.So you could imagine the frustration and heartbreak of seeing the fruits of a farmer's patience and dedication destroyed in a matter of minutes.This has been the cruel reality for those living around Kui Buri National Park, where some of Thailand's largest populations of Asian elephants hang out. For years, these farmers have worked hard to make a living from their crops, only to witness it all damaged under the footsteps of the wild giants.But the elephants are not to blame; with their usual feeding spots now)changed into farmland, there is little left for them to eat—except the massive fields of tempting, easily accessible juicy fruits, all lined up like a continental breakfast buffet. While she felt angry about her damaged crops, farmer Nichakan Pongsarikit saw an opportunity that the mighty creatures offered.Embarking on a joumey to become a local guide, she began learning more about the animals and their behavior, movement, and habitat, along with foreign language skills, with the support of the Kui Buri Conservation Association and WWF-Thailand. "I used to never want to encounter the elephants, " she said, now entering her seventh year as a guide. "Now I want to see them every day." Like her, other affected farmers have also found innovative ways to embrace the situation. Some are now making handmade souvenirs from elephant-related products, such as natural dye（染料）and 'poo poo'paper from elephant dung（粪便）, and selling them to tourists who come to visit the elephants in their natural habitat.While it does not come without challenges, thistransformation demonstrates the economic benefits that conservation could bring to communities, and the vital role communities play in conservation.(1) What problem do the farmers face?A. Asian elephants ruin their crops.B. Domesticating clephants is challenging.C. Kui Buri National Park gets damaged.D. Thailand farmers have lost their land.(2) Why do the elephants come to the crop fields?A. They are foreed out of the park by the locals.B. They have developed an appetite for crops.C. They are fed by some local farmers.D. They are losing their natural feeding grounds.(3) What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. The farmers need to improve profits of their business.B. No new elephant-related products will be launched.C. Tourist-elephant conflicts will arise soon.D. Economy goes hand in hand with ecological protection.(4) Which is most relevant to the message of the text?A. Many hands make light work.B. Misfortunes may beC. The early bird catches the worm.D. Actions speak louder3、 C Most of us have at least a few prized possessions we'd have trouble letting go of.But those with a hoarding（囤积）disorder are forced to hold onto their belongings, even when doing so means severely messy surroundings that decrcase their quality of life and threaten their safety through the risk of firelor personal injury. The hoarding disorder is an under-recognized condition.“People with a hoarding disorder are often hesitant to seek or stay in treatment because of anxiety, "says Marla Deibler, a clinicalpsychologist based in Princeton, New Jersey.Now scientists at Stanford University are exploring a new treatment to help individuals with a hoarding disorder. The recent pilot study shows that therapy powered by a virtual reality headset and handheld controllers can help those who hoard to practice letting go of their possessions using asimulation（模拟）of their homes before they clean the ce in real life. The study was conducted over 16 weeks and allowed its participants —all diagaosed with a hoarding disorder —to enter virtual models of their homes to practice sorting and discarding （丢弃）items which they found hard to part with.The virtual layout of their homes and possessions are created with photos uploaded to create a 3D simulation, so the items are known and valued by each participant before they practice throwing them out. "78%of the participants noted vitual reality contributed to their motivation in increasing real-life discarding, " says Carolyn Rodriguez, the lead author of the study. "Such results are promising, cspecially when the study's participants ranged in age from 60 to 73 years old—the group in which hoarding is most common." The Stanford study builds on work done at the University of Chicago, published in 2020, which also showed that individuals struggling with a hoarding disorder were motivated to have a clean environment by using virtual rcality to cxplore their homes.The uniqueness of the Stanford rescarch, howevcr, lies in the opportunity it has provided for participants to take part in the discarding process —a crucial step in cmotionally separating themselves from each item.(1) What do we know about the people with hoarding disorder?A. They always keep their valuables safe.B. They are longing for proper treatment.C. They rarely spend quality time with their families.D. They are overly attached to their belongings.(2) What's paragraph 4 mainly about?A. The significance of the study.B. The details of the study.C. The purpose of the study.D. The application of the study.(3) What is Carolyn Rodriguez's attitude to the treatment?A. Approving.B. Dismissive.C. Concerned.D. Neutral.(4) What makes the Stanford study special for its participants?A. Increasing their motivation to clean their houses.B. Offering them a chance to explore their homes.C. Involving them in a clean-up with virtual reality.D. Providing an opportunity to strengthen emotional bonds.4、 D Many of us would probably say that lying is a matter of moral choice. But in his philosophy book A History of Lying, Juan Jacinto Muoz-Rengel takes us in a different direction, which he calls "non-moral" He takes several persuasive steps to redirect us. First, he asks us to take into account how we represent reality to ourselves, and how we see it in relation to the self. This requires us to employ awareness of not just the world but also the concepts to describe it to ourselves and others. Moreover, "the reality" we believe we see and know might be an illusion（幻觉）. So how do we even know when we're telling the truth, and when we'te lying about it? His sccond step is to say that our sense of personal identity should be treated with doubt, since we're frequently wrong about our own experiences. If continuing personal identity might be an illusion, then the reality we see might be an illusion as well. But we choose to take part like actors in this illusion. From here Muhoz-Rengel takes a third step, towards what he calls“evolutionary cpistemology （认识论）", which shows everything we claim to know should be evaluated through an evolutionary angle. For instancc, to stay safe from natural enemies or hunt for food, some animals evolve into being capablc of mixing with the surroundings to delude others. The thing is, the species continues through natural selcction processes. Equally, we grow myths to explain the natural world and our placc in it…As individuals and as societies, various forms of lies are built into our DNA. The argumcnts in this book are strongly made, but more than a few of Muhoz-Rengel's viewpoints necd far more cvidence as support. But anyhow, in separating the discussionfrom conventional morality-based studies of lying, he has produced a lively and distinctive work.But still, there is one thing to remember—we perhaps will be liars, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't ask ourselves when it is acceptable to lie and when it isn't.(1) What can be implied about Mufioz-Rengel's first persuasive step?A. We can hardly control what we do in real life.B. We are able to tell illusions from reality.C. We choose to lie or not in different cases.D. We tend to see reality in a subjective way.(2) Why does Mufioz-Rengel give the examples in Paragraph 4?A. To make a comparison.B. To clarify a concept.C. To raise a problem. -D. To change a topic.(3) What does the underlined word "delude" in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A. Surprise.B. Trick.C. Amuse.D. Protect.(4) How does the author find the arguments in this book?A. One-sided but convincing.B. Conventional but impressive.C. Poorly-based but novel.D. Serious but understandable.二、七选五5、 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。

On the way, she said, “I like old people best because they walk slowly like I walk slowly and they have soft skin like I have soft skin.”What she said marked a 1 beginning.The following day—her birthday—again on the way home, she asked 2 we could stop at the store to buy cakes for her. How could I say 3 to a birthday girl? After paying for the bill, I noticed that Norah was standing up in the cart, 4 ann ouncing, “Hi, old person! It’s my birthday today!” However, the old man in front of her didn’t show he was 5 by my talkative child. He 6 with a smile, “Well, little lady! And how old are you today?” After a few minutes’ chat, Norah offered to t ake a photo with the old man called Mr. Dan, his expression changed from surprised to delighted. We exchanged our phone numbers. There was magic happening in the store that day, and we could 7 feel it.During our first visit in Mr. Dan’s home, We wal ked with him to his front door. He pulled out a knife and 8 the only blooming red rose. He spent ten minutes cutting every thorn（刺）9 the stem（茎）before handing it to his new friend. Norah keeps that rose, now 10 as a bone, under her pillow for a long time.Norah asks about Mr. Dan every day. She worries about him. She wonders if he’s 11 , or cold. She wants him to be OK. She wants him to feel loved. Mr. Dan thinks about Norah too.

Sam Chee works on a very different type of farm, in the center of the Canadian city of Toronto. “We grow fruit, vegetables and herbs,” says Sam. “But not many people know the farm is here. You can’t see it from the street. We’re on top of an office building, 50 meters above the ground.”Rooftop farming is becoming popular in cities like Toronto, New Y ork and London. The roofs of buildings are often just wasted space, but this space can be used for growing good fresh food, right in the middle of the city. Sam explains how it works. “We grow everything in big boxes—there are hundreds of them. We catch rainwater to waterthe plants when the weather is dry.”The rooftop farm where Sam works belongs to a restaurant called Green Garden, on the ground floor of the building. The farm produces about half the restaurant’s fruit and vegetables. Sam believes that the rooftop farm is what makes Green Garden special. “We help to keep food production local. We don’t need to transport this food from anywhere and that saves energy. It’s better for the environment.”The food from the rooftop is fresher too. “When the fruit and vegetables are ripe we can pick them and use themright away. They taste better when they’re really fresh,” says Sam. “I hope that there will be more rooftop farms in the city soon. It could be the farming of the future.”1．Green Garden’s rooftop farm is.A．the only one in the world B．in the middle of a small townC．one of many in cities around the world D．near the countryside of a city2．The fruit and vegetables Sam grows are .A．used in a restaurant in the same building B．sold to restaurants to cook dishes for peopleC．taken to a restaurant in another building D．given to people who work in the building3．Sam thinks the food from the rooftop is better than that bought from other places because .A．it is much cheaper and fresher B．it tastes better and is better for the environmentC．it uses space which was being wasted D．it can’t be bought in th e local stores4．According to the passage, which of the following is RIGHT?A．The farm is on the top of a teaching building, 50 meters above the ground.B．The plants are watered by collected rainwater when necessary.C．Y ou can find more rooftop farms in the country than in the city.D．When they pick the fruit and vegetables, they won’t use them at once.5．What is the main purpose of the passage?A．To describe what rooftop farming is by giving an example.B．To describe why rooftop farming has become very popular in Canada.C．To tell the story of the man who first started rooftop farming.D．To encourage people to build as many rooftop farms as possible.B14、When we think of money, we think of coins and paper bills. That is what money is today. But in the past people used many things in place of money. Some countries used cows. Other countries used salt, tobacco, tea or stones. Today there are stills some places in the world that do not use paper money. One place is the island of Yap in the Pacific Ocean.On the island of Yap, people use the heaviest money in the world —Yap stones. These are round, white stones with a hole in the middle. The Yap stones do not originate from the island. The Yap men have to go to the islands four hundred miles away to fetch them. Big stones can be twelve feet high — as big as two tall men. Small stones are as big as a dinner plate.Rich people do not carry the Yap stones. Servants follow the rich. Each servant carries a stone on a pole over his shoulder. Today the people on the island use paper money for everyday shopping. But for other things they still preferYap stones.1．On the island of Yap, people use ____ as money.A．stones B．cows C．dinner plates D．salt2．What does the word “originate” mean?A．Grow. B．Come.

It’s a friendly question that people in the U.S.A use to greet each other. But “How are you?” is also a very unusual question. The person who asks “How are you?” hopes to hear the answer “Fine”, even if the person’s friend isn’t fine. The reason is that “How are you?” isn’t really a question and “Fine” isn’t really an answer. They are simply other ways of saying “Hello” or “Hi”.Sometimes, people also don’t say exactly what they mean. For example, when someone asks “Do you agree?” the other person might think, “No, I disagree. I think you’re wrong...”But it isn’t very polite to disagree so strongly, so the other person might say “I’m not sure.” It’s a nicer way to say that you don’t agree with someone.People also don’t say exactly what they are thinking when they finish talking with other people. For example, many talks over the phone finish when one person say “I’ve to go now.” Often, the person who wants to hang up gives an excuse: “Someone’s at the door.” “Something is burning on the stove.” The excuses might be real, or not. Perhaps the person who wants to hang up simply doesn’t want to talk any more, but it isn’t polite to say that. The excuse is more polite, and it doesn’t hurt the other person.When they are greeting each other, talking about an idea or finishing a talk, people don’t say exactly what they are thinking. They are trying to be nice to each other, and it’s part of the game of language.1．When a perso n in America asks “How are you?”, he or she wants to hear “_____”.A．How are you? B．HelloC．I don’t know D．Fine2．When a person disagrees with someone, it is polite to say “_____”A．I think you are wrong. B．I’m not sure.C．I agree D．No, I disagree.3．When a person says “I’ve to go now. Someone is at the door.” he or she may be _____.A．giving an excuse B．illC．hurting someone’s feeling D．asking a question4．The rule of the game of language is probably _____.A．“Always say what you mean”B．“Don’t disagree with others”C．“Never ask questions ”D．“Be polite”E17、In Europe, small cars have always been more popular than large cars. In the United States, large cars and midsize cars are more popular than smaller cars. As a result, European automakers used to make different kinds of small cars while American automakers used to build bigger, heavier cars. However, these days, automakers in both America and Europe produce cars of different sizes. This is because most automakers export their cars all over the world.The price of gasoline (汽油)is one reason for differences in car choices. Since gasoline is more expensive in Europe, many Europeans want smaller, lighter cars that will travel a long way on a gallon（加仑）of gasoline.Other reasons also enter into the big or little car decision. Many European cities have narrow, winding（弯曲的）streets. In these cities a small car is easier to control than a large one.For a long time, few Americans bought small cars. Instead they chose large cars, because these roomy cars were more comfortable for large families and long trips. Some people also liked the powerful engines（发动机）that large cars had. Since gasoline was cheap, drivers did not mind that the large cars used a lot of gasoline.But in the 1970s, there were gasoline shortages in the United States. The price of gasoline went up. Though large cars were still more popular than smaller cars, sales of small cars increased. Some people also bought small cars because these cars caused less air pollution than larger cars.Today, Americans' car preferences are still changing. Though Americans are still buying many small cars, the fastest growing sales are for certain kinds of large cars. These types of cars are called minivans and sport utilityvehicles(SUV). They are very popular today. But of course, that could change tomorrow.1．In the 1970s, .A．large cars were less popular than smaller cars.B．European cars finally came to the United States.C．the price of gasoline went up in the United States.D．people in the United States stopped buying small cars.2．Which of the following does the article lead you to believe?A．Sport utility vehicles small cars.B．Minivans are becoming less popular.C．European car companies sell many cars in America.D．Cars with powerful engines caused less air pollution.3．What does “roomy” in Paragraph 4 mean?A．having much space B．having little spaceC．having a large room D．having a small room4．What can we infer（推断）from the article?A．Small cars are better than large cars.B．The price of gasoline is always rising.C．Large cars will always be popular in the United States.D．People like to have different kinds of cars to choose from.FBrandGeely Panda Volvo S40 Tiguan BMW m1 Buick Regal45,000 358,000 320,000 1,200,000 210,000 Price(yuan)Made in China Sweden China Germany China1．According to the chart, what kind of car is the most expensive?A．Volvo S40 B．Buick RegalC．Tiguan D．BMW m12．Which car isn't made in China?A．Tiguan B．Buick RegalC．Volvo S40 D．Geely Panda3．Why do young ladies want to buy Geely Panda?A．Safe, large inside B．Popular, large insideC．Cute, small D．Fast, fashionable4．Dennis likes traveling and playing sports.
