四川省2024-2025学年新高三上学期入学摸底考试英语试卷一、阅读理解V olunteer Summer Camp for Teens in Costa RicaAre you 16 or 17 years old and wanting to volunteer abroad this summer? International V olunteer HQ’s Summer Camp for teen volunteers is an awesome way for 16- and 17-year- old volunteers to spend part of their summer holidays contributing towards important community initiatives and learning about Costa Rican culture.What to expect and how you’ll make an impact:The Teen V olunteer Summer Camp is an incredible cultural immersion (沉浸) experience available to individual volunteers aged 16 and 17 and it is fully accompanied by adults.Participants will take part in planned activities including volunteering in local community projects, taking local dance lessons, going on cultural adventures, and joining nature tours led by our professional guides.The V olunteer Teen Camp has two available start dates in August. The first is available on August 1st, and participants can join for a 1-3 week duration. The second start date is August 15th for a maximum of one week.Why join the Volunteer Summer Camp in Costa Rica with IVHQ?When you volunteer as a teen in Costa Rica, you’ll be adding value to the local community, while also developing personally and professionally by:* Contributing to community- driven volunteer projects* Developing your communication skills* Learning about Costa Rica’s culture, food and history* Discovering Costa Rica’s beautiful beaches, national parks and citiesVolunteer requirements:* Volunteers must provide IVHQ with parental agreement in order to participate on the program.* Independent volunteers aged 16 and 17 can join this project for 1 -3 weeks.* Volunteers must provide two character reference letters.* All volunteers are required to have enough volunteer travel insurance.* All volunteers must speak fluent English.1.What will volunteers do in the camp?A.Instruct dance lessons.B.Take guided nature tours.C.Go on outdoor adventures.D.Visit some community activities.2.How can participants benefit from this summer camp?A.They can learn standard English.B.They can get money for their effort.C.They can gain rich experience in teaching.D.They can better their skills incommunication.3.What is needed to apply for the camp?A.Affording three weeks’ free time.B.Being accompanied by one parent.C.Having previous related experience.D.Offering two letters of recommendation.Inside Baiduren, which looks by outward appearances like a cafe, relatives of the dead can tell the staff stories that they may not be able to share with friends and family for any number of reasons.“Our job initially was funeral planning and handling related affairs for customers,” said Shi Xiaolin, leader of what Badiruen calls the “life experiencing project”. “After a few years, we felt that we wanted to make a breakthrough in the industry because there are still so many prejudices about funeral homes,” he explained.That was obvious from the start. Shi and his team had difficulty finding a landlord willing to rent to a funeral parlor (殡仪馆) . In the end, the site they found was in Hongkou District, a me re 10- minute walk from Baoxing Funeral Parlor, one of the largest undertakers in Shanghai.The Baiduren salon is decorated in a modern style, with soft lighting that contrasts with traditional funeral homes.“Apart from those who want to pour their hearts out, we also receive families who want to discuss funeral affairs in a more relaxed, comforting environment,” Shi told Shanghai Daily.The Baiduren salon looks like a common cafe, but many people come here to pour out their hearts about their perceptions of life and death. The salon has been more popular than the team expected since its soft opening in late February. In the past month, the team has listened to a lot ofstories — from survivors who can’t seem to accept the loss of a loved one, to survivors still in shock over a death that occurred by accident. In turn, staff often relate their own stories of sorrow.The salon, from the standpoint of both staff and customers, points to a change in how people — especially the young — view death and funerals. And Baiduren is not the only example of young people determined to make a difference in the funeral business.4.What difficulty did Shi Xiaolin meet at first?A.He couldn’t find employees.B.No one would rent sites to him.C.The relatives of the dead doubted him.D.He lacked money to decorate the parlor. 5.What is people’s attitude toward the Baiduren salon?A.They accept the new trend.B.They show no interest in it.C.They hold a wait- and- see attitude.D.They feel it shows no respect to the dead. 6.Which words can be used to describe Shi Xiaolin?A.Honest and reliable.B.Warm- hearted and humble.C.Considerate and creative.D.Diligent and responsible.7.What will be talked about next?A.The future of the Baiduren salon.B.Other people engaging in funeral business.C.The diverse services the Baiduren salon offers.D.Young people’s view on funeralbusiness.The world’s first jet- suit (喷气服) race, organized by Gravity Industries, a UK-based tech company that specializes in high-powered jet-suits, took place around the Dubai Marina this week with racers wearing Iron Man-esque technology rushing around, hoping to first cross the finishing line.All went smoothly, aside from a minor mess- up by Emirati pilot Ahmed al-Shehhi, who reportedly crashed into the water during his heat. Fortunately, he quickly rose to the water surface and gave a thumbs-up before being picked up by a rescue crew.Inspired by F1 technology, the suits feature five gas turbines (涡轮机) fitted on the arms and back, capable of generating over 1, 000 horsepower. This allows the racer to pick up speeds of up to128 kilometers per hour. The suits can typically stay in air for just 3 minutes, although it’s possible to fly for over 7 minutes if conditions are ideal.If the suits remind you of a certain billionaire superhero, you’re not alone. It seems that the founder of Gravity Industries also drew some inspiration from the Marvel Universe.“The closest comparison would be that dream of flying. . . and then go wherever your mind is taking you,” Richard Browning, the founder and chief test pilot, said after the race.“And yes, the world of Marvel superheroes and DC Comics, they have created that dream book, and we are the people who are the closest to realizing that for real,” Browning added.Understandably, the technology doesn’t come cheap. If you fancy getting your hands on a custom- made jet-suit from Gravity Industries, expect a price tag of at least £380, 000.It isn’t all fun and games, though. Gravity Industries has previously demonstrated that their jetpacks could be used by rescue teams to reach dangerous mountain areas. They’ve also suggested it could be used by police forces to hunt down criminals on the run.8.What is mainly talked about in paragraph 3?A.The definition of horsepower.B.The features of F1 technology.C.The conditions of using jet- suits.D.The introduction of the jet- suits.9.How did Richard Browning feel after the race?A.Confident.B.Disappointed.C.Grateful.D.Concerned. 10.What can we know about the new technology of Gravity Industries?A.It has its medical value.B.It is affordable for everyone.C.It can be used in rescue work.D.It has been adopted by the police. 11.What is the aim of this passage?A.To compare.B.To entertain.C.To inform.D.To persuade.The meeting continues, and you feel your eyes getting heavy, your mind drowsy (昏昏欲睡) . Suddenly you wake up and get a very attentive wakefulness — did anyone see me doze off (打盹) ? You’ve fallen into a microsleep, a very brief sleep that ends almost as soon as it begins. When you’re trying to be awake and active, these may make you feel anxious or, if they happen behind the wheel, justifiably terrified.Microsleeps don’t make us feel rested or restored, like longer periods of uninterrupted sleep would. Yet a new study shows that nesting chinstrap penguins (帽带企鹅) sleep just this way more than 10, 000 times a day. Incredibly, our experiments prove that this strange sleep cycleseems to do the birds no obvious harm.“What is really weird is that the penguin can sustain this in- between wake and sleep state constantly,” explains co-author Paul-Antoine Libourel, who studies the biology of sleep. Simply watching the penguins nod and blink gave the appearance that they were drowsy, he adds, but the extent of their sleeping was a surprise.To study these penguins, for two weeks, the scientists used some sensors to record data to measure the birds’ sleep-related brain activity. Other sensors recorded the birds’ positions (standing, lying, diving) , tracked their location via GPS, and collected environmental data like temperature. The authors also did continuous video monitoring of the same nesting birds so that their observable behaviors could be matched with simultaneous data on their brain activity.Researchers discovered that the birds nodded off thousands of times per day, engaging in microsleeps that averaged just four seconds each but added up to more than 11 hours of sleep per day.Why would the birds adopt this fascinating sleep cycle? The need to sleep briefly could simply be a consequence of living in a noisy group where sleep is constantly interrupted. The constant guard also help keep the nests safe from the brown skua bird, which feeds on penguin eggs and chicks. Having only seconds of sleep at a time would allow the birds to react to any possible dangers.12.How does the author introduce the topic in the first paragraph?A.By describing a familiar scene.B.By introducing a sleep pattern.C.By reminding you of a bad habit.D.By showing the boredom of meetings. 13.What does the underlined word “weird” in paragraph 3 probably mean?A.Inspiring.B.Strange.C.Worrying.D.Meaningful. 14.What might contribute to chinstrap penguins' sleep pattern?A.Their unique brain structure.B.Their years’ of hard training.C.Their tough living environment.D.Their special standing position.15.What can be the best title for the passage?A.Seconds of Sleep, Lifelong Benefits B.Awake or Asleep? No One Knows for Sure C.Falling into Sleep? You Are Completely Wrong D.Sleeping for Seconds, Thousands of Times a DayI’m an Indonesian student and finished my Master’s degree in Sweden. 16 Here are my top four things that I’ve learned from my experience.I understand my home country better. Being a local in my home country for almost a lifetime got me thinking that the grass was always greener in other countries. 17 And my country has different positive angles that I’ve learned to see and be proud of.I get much deeper understanding of other cultures’ perspectives. Studying abroad has changed my perspective and made me shift my beliefs. I’ve learned the issue of privacy. I used to see that the internet is the place where we should talk about our activities and share many parts of ourselves to the world. I used to take everyone’s pictures and share them online. 18I see travelling in a new way. What is travelling all about? Why do we need travelling?19 I learned that by being a tourist, understanding local perspectives and needs is important. And most importantly, I found that you can find a whole new way of life when you really take time to understand the country you’ re in.20 When you study abroad, the first thing you might notice are the many differences between people. But you also see that all of these differences are also universal — people in many ways are the same everywhere. Studying abroad gives you the opportunity to really understand people from different culture backgrounds. And when you make friends, you learn to accept their perfections alongside their shortcomings.A.I learn to accept people’s differences.B.What should you take while you are travelling?C.Learning in a foreign country taught me lots of things.D.I like to make friends from different culture backgrounds.E.Yet being abroad has given me the chance to see that no country is perfect.F.By trying answering these questions, I started to understand travelling differently.G.Now I secure my data, respect people’s privacy, and even remind others to do so.二、完形填空Law enforcement (执法) is a challenging career.

We would just sit and talk — sometimes until sunrise. I was so completely thrilled to have finally found that one special person.However, it was not long after our honeymoon when my husband climbed into the tomb called “the office” and wrapped his mind in a shroud of paperwork and buried himself in clients, and I said nothing for fear of turning into a nagging wife. It seemed as if overnight an invisible wall had been put up between us. He just lay beside snoring like a hibernating bear unaware of my winter.When our daughter was born, she quickly became the center of my world. I watched her grow from infant to toddler, and I no longer seemed to care that my husband was getting busier and spending less time at home. Somewhere between his work schedule and our home and young daughter, we were losing touch with each other. That invisible wall was now being hardened by the mortar (砂浆) of indifference.Then tragedy struck our lives, when my husband’s younger brother was killed on September 11, 2001, along with thousands of other innocent people. He made it out okay and spoke to his wife to say he was going back in to help those that were still trapped. He was identified only by the engraving on the inside of his wedding ring.Attending our brother’s memorial service was an eye-opening experience for both of us. For the first time, we saw our own marriage was almost like my in-laws. At the tragic death of the youngest son they could not reach out console one another. It seemed as if somewhere between the oldest son’s first tooth and the youngest son’s graduation they had lost each other. Their wedding day photograph of the young, happy, smiling couple on the mantle of their fireplace was almost mocking those two minds that no longer touched.Later one night, my husband told of his fear of dying. Until then he had been afraid to expose his naked souls. I spoke of trying to find myself in the writings of my journal. It seemed as if each of us had been hiding our soul-searching from the other.We are slowly working toward building a bridge — not a wall, so that when we reach out to each other, we do not find a barrier we cannot penetrate or retreat from the stranger on the other side.4.From the second paragraph, we can learn that the author’s husband _________.A.didn’t show any affection for her B.was fully occupied with his workC.preferred his work to his family D.got tired of his nagging wife5.What does the underlined word in Paragraph 5 refer to?A.The author’s husband’s parents.B.The author’s husband’s brothers-in-law.C.The author’s husband’s brothers.D.The author’s husband’s sisters-in-law. 6.What can be inferred from the passage about the couple?A.Their brother’s death triggered their reflection on marriage.B.Attending the memorial service worsened their relationship.C.The fear of dying prevented the husband from reaching out.D.Communication was a most effective means to break the barrier.7.Which of the following best describes the author?A.Sympathetic and emotional.B.Hardworking and ambitious.C.Sensitive and sensible.D.Independent and critical.Many of the major supermarket chains have come under fire with accusations of various immoral acts over the past decade. They’ve wasted tons of food and they’ve contributed to excessive plastic waste in their packaging, which has had its impact on our environment.But supermarkets and grocers are starting to sit up and take notice. In response to growing consumer opposition to the huge amounts of plastic waste generated by plastic packaging, some of the largest UK supermarkets have signed up to an agreement promising to transform packaging and cut plastic wastage. In a pledge to reuse and recycle all plastic wastage by 2025, supermarkets are now beginning to take some responsibility for the part they play in contributing to the damage to our environment, with one major supermarket announcing their plan to eliminate all plastic packaging in their own-brand products by 2024.In response to criticisms over food waste, some supermarkets are donating some of their food surplus. However, charities estimate that they are only accessing two per cent of supermarkets’ total food surplus, so this hardly seems to be solving the problem. Most supermarkets operate under a veil of secrecy when asked for exact figures of food wastage, and without more transparency it is hard to come up with a systematic approach to avoiding waste and to redistributing surplus food.Some smaller companies are now taking matters into their own hands and offering consumers a greener option. Shops like Berli’s Original Unverpakt and London’s Bulk Market are plastic-free shops, encouraging customers to use their own containers or degradable bags. Online grocer Farmdrop eliminates the need for large warehouses and the risk of huge food surplus by delivering fresh produce from local farmers to its customers on a daily basis via electric cars, offering farmers the lion’s share of the retail price.There is no doubt that we still have a long way to go in reducing food waste and plastic waste. But perhaps the major supermarkets might take inspiration from these smaller grocers and gradually move towards a more sustainable future for us all.8.Some of major UK supermarkets promise to reduce plastic waste, because _________.A.they want to take the responsibility for environmental damage caused by othersB.they promised to eliminate all plastic packaging in their own-brand products by 2024C.an increasing number of people want supermarkets to reduce plastic waste they produceD.the policy issued by the authority serves as supervision to decrease plastic waste 9.What does the author imply in the third paragraph?A.Supermarkets are still denying that food waste can cause damage to our environment.B.Supermarkets are making every effort to take measures to cut down on food waste.C.Charities are to blame as they only obtain limited access to supermarkets’ total food surplus.D.Supermarkets are unlikely to avoid waste unless they disclose the exact figures of food wastage.10.What do the underlined words “take matters into their own hands” mean?A.Take the risk of completing difficult tasks.B.Deal with problems yourself after others fail to do so.C.Take the initiative to address problems.D.Settle problems in collaboration with others.11.What is author’s attitude towards the major supermarkets’ current action?A.Unsatisfied B.Indifferent C.Favorable D.UncertainImagine accessing traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) services with just a tap on your smartphone. What once required a hospital visit — often leading to long waits and considerable inconveniences, especially for the elderly — is now available at your fingertips.The innovative mini-program “Wang She Wen Shan” (Tongue Diagnosis and Dietary Guidance) is transforming TCM consultations. Users can now receive a detailed health report in under two minutes simply by taking a quick snapshot of their tongue. More than that, this AI-powered tool also provides personalized dietary and wellness recommendations.According to the mini-program’s developers, this transformation has been made possible through the seamless integration of the traditional TCM tongue diagnosis method with cutting-edge AI image recognition technology. The program has been trained on over 20,000 clinical tongue images, enabling it to provide accurate and convenient health assessments.Since July 2023, Guangzhou has been at the forefront of piloting TCM services with AI assistance. A research team from the South China University of Technology developed an AI-powered TCM Constitution Identification Device based on machine learning models. Trained by TCM doctors from local hospitals, this device has “learned” to identify users’ constitution typesthrough facial and tongue images and provide personalized health recommendations. By October 2023, this smart device had been adopted in 11 communities across Guangzhou, serving over 12,000 residents. In addition, other AI-driven innovations, such as prescription systems, pulse signal acquisition systems, acupuncture robots, and massage robots, are making their way into public use, bringing a high-tech touch to traditional medicine.Despite the progress made, the integration of AI into TCM is still in its early stages. One of the primary hurdles is the lack of theoretical standardization within TCM. For the same illness, different schools and experts may recommend varying treatment plans.Another challenge lies in the integration of medical and engineering technologies. Although computer applications in TCM date back to the 1980s, early systems relied on pre-programmed standards that often fell short due to the complex nature of patient symptoms. The unpredictability and variability of these symptoms pose significant difficulties for AI’s deep learning processes.Anyway, there is every reason to believe that the integration of AI into TCM will profoundly revolutionize healthcare by making TCM more accessible and efficient. It holds significant promise for underserved areas with limited medical resources. Nevertheless, as the journey is only beginning, it is crucial to acknowledge its current limitations in clinical settings. While AI offers substantial potential for TCM, accurate diagnosis still relies heavily on the expertise of physicians. AI is intended to complement — not replace — human doctors. 12.What do we know about “Wang She Wen Shan”?A.It provides invariable dietary and wellness suggestions for users.B.It requires users to take a photo of their tongue for consultation.C.It has been trained on abundant tongue images of medical staff.D.It fails to function properly without facial recognition technology.13.What’s the main idea of the fourth paragraph?A.A glimpse of the development of AI-driven TCM innovations.B.An introduction to an AI-powered device developed by doctors.C.An insight into the potential use of AI-driven devices in TCM.D.A comparison between different AI-powered TCM innovations14.Who might benefit most from the mini-program?A.Folks in places with few experienced doctors.B.Patients with symptoms rarely seen or reported.C.Physicians with great diagnostic capabilities.D.Senior citizens with difficulty using smart phones.15.What can be a suitable title for the text?A.AI: The Future of TCM B.Doctors at Your FingertipsC.Modernized TCM with AI D.Integration of AI into MedicinePeople who experience loneliness may assume that they are unlovable, which may cause profound shame and injure self-esteem. 16 We all feel lonely at times just like we all feel hunger or thirst. There is no reason to be ashamed of being human. Here are a few ways to work through the shame and find or reestablish connections.Develop your relationships. You can be surrounded by people and still feel lonely if what you want or expect from your relationships is different from what you perceive. 17 A few minutes of honest, authentic human connection can transform how we feel. If you’re accustomed to texting friends or relatives, try a phone or video call instead. It doesn’t need to last long, but it may rekindle a friendship and lift your mood.Look for commonalities. We each have unique ways of finding friends, initiating communication and maintaining our relationships. “If you’re a bookworm, don’t expect your next best buddy at a party.” said Louise Hawkley, a research scientist who studies loneliness. “ 18 ”19 V olunteering is a way to broaden your social networks. In a study of 10,000 volunteers in Britain, about two-thirds agreed that volunteering had helped them feel less isolated. Some organizations can help you find opportunities in your area.Taking a small step toward building social connections can help your confidence. If you’re finding it difficult to initiate contact with someone or you’re feeling socially isolated, don’t hesitate to tell someone that you’re struggling. 20 “Lonely people have more control over the situation than they think they do if you reach out.” Hawkley said.A.People are not necessarily to be struck by someone like them.B.Effort and honesty are crucial to strengthening those connections.C.Don’t abandon yourself to loneliness.D.You have to look for people who share your interests and values.E.But the truth is loneliness is a universal human experience.F.Offer support to someone else.G.It could be a relative, a friend, a therapist or a health care provider.二、完形填空After moving into her new home, the mistress hadn’t finished tidying up yet. Boxes and furniture were 21 up in various corners of the house, creating a chaotic scene.She was busy organizing when, all of a sudden, the 22 went out, plunging the entire room into darkness. Frantically, she groped around, trying to find the candles and matches she had placed nearby, hoping to 23 the darkness with a flicker of light.Just then there was a knock at the door from outside. Opening the door, she found it was a small girl who 24 her little face and asked, “Auntie, is there a candle in your home?”Internally, she pondered, “ 25 could this be? On the first day I moved in, the neighbor sent their child to borrow something. Weren’t they 26 the newcomer? Today, if I lend them a candle, maybe they would come to borrow onions or garlic. No, that can’t be.”So the hostess said, “Oh dear, 27 , your aunt just moved here and didn’t prepare the candle.” After that, she was about to close the door.“Auntie, look! My mum asked me to send it.” The small girl, like a 28 , drew her hand from 29 and raised high two thick candles.Facing the 30 eyes of the girl, the hostess was shocked, weakly 31 against the door and covering her face with her hands, unable to 32 the girl’s gaze.The story reminds us not to easily doubt the 33 of others, nor34 bias against thembased on past experiences. Sometimes kindness and sincerity do 35 , and we should learn to accept and trust this act of kindness rather than overly doubting or rejecting it. 21.A.piled B.packed C.stored D.thrown 22.A.mistress B.power C.strength D.hostess 23.A.defeat B.enhance C.shorten D.illuminate24.A.rubbed B.hid C.lifted D.flushed 25.A.How B.Why C.What D.Who 26.A.comforting B.bullying C.treating D.amusing 27.A.unexpectedly B.unavoidably C.unluckily D.unpredictably 28.A.solider B.general C.mechanic D.magician 29.A.before B.behind C.above D.below 30.A.crystal clear B.navy blue C.shiny silver D.charcoal grey 31.A.knocking B.banging C.leaning D.sitting 32.A.meet B.accept C.see D.avoid 33.A.generosity B.goodwill C.integrity D.honesty 34.A.hold B.extend C.question D.deliver 35.A.vanish B.fade C.exist D.persevere三、语法填空阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
四川省成都石室天府中学2023-2024学年高一上学期新生入学考试英语试题学校:___________姓名:___________班级:___________考号:___________一、阅读理解Working online has opened the door for many to make a living or earn extra cash from the comfort of their own homes. And that includes teenagers. If you’re looking for such a job, here are some options you can consider.Customer ServiceIf you are 16 years of age or older, you will have the opportunity to become a Uhaul customer service officer. All you need to do the job is a good pair of headphones and a high-speed Internet connection. Base pay starts at $7.50 an hour.Sell Items OnlineSelling items online is one of the easiest ways to make quick cash. Teens can turn it into a good business by selling things on Bonanza. You need to start sorting through (分类) items at your home that are no longer being used and list them for sale.Take SurveysAnother easy task teens can do to earn money is to take surveys online. You don’t need any work experience to do this and can be as young as 13 years old to get started. Survey sites like VIP Voices, Swagbucks, Harris Poll, E-Poll, and Paid Viewpoint allow teens to start taking surveys for cash and gift cards. And your opinions should be expressed clearly in English.EtsyDo you love to make new things? You can open up an Etsy shop to share your works. Etsy is great for DIYers who can create new products. If you are under 18, you just need a parent who is willing to help manage your shop.1.What are teenagers allowed to do in Bonanza?A.Test new products for customers.B.Make money out of their old items.C.Learn about computer science.D.Receive training in customer service.2.What is required to take surveys online for teens?A.Having a wide range of interests.B.Having some related work experience.C.Having a good pair of headphones.D.Having a good command of English.3.What is special about those who own an Etsy shop?A.They have an active mind.B.They enjoy buying things online.C.They are interested in geographic.D.They are good at collecting used things.Criticism is judgment. A critic is a judge. A judge must study and think about the material presented to him, accept it, correct it or reject it after thinking over what he has read, watched or heard.Another word for criticism is appreciation. When I criticize or appreciate some object or another, I look for its good points and bad points. In reading any printed or written matter, I always have a pencil in hand and put any comments in the book or on a separate paper. In other words, I always talk back to the writer.That sort of critical reading might well be called creative reading because I am thinking along with the author, asking him questions, seeing whether he answers the questions and how well he answers them. I mark the good passages to store them in my memory piece of writing; where, how and why could or should I improve upon it?You might think that doing what I suggested is work. Yes, it is, but the work is a pleasure because I can feel my brain expanding, my emotion reacting and my way of living change.Reading exercises is a great influence on a person. If pictures, still or moving, accompany the reading, the memory will retain the material for a long time.Just as evil books can corrupt, so also can good books gradually work a change on a corrupt person.Let's get back to the beneficial effects of thinking while reading. It helps us to enlarge our minds. We understand more about the universe, its people and many of its wonders. We learn to think and observe in new ways. We certainly do get a feeling for the language we are reading. All good writers in any language have been readers who read critically and continuously.4.According to the writer, creative reading is ________.A.raising questions and answering them for the authorB.reading and giving comments on the materials one has readC.thinking in the same line with the authorD.storing up facts in one's memory5.The writer says a critic ________.A.asks what he does not understandB.talks back to the authorC.understand the background on which the works are basedD.looks for the good and bad points of the material he has read6.By the phrase “thinking along with” in the third paragraph, the writer means________.A.following one's thought closely B.acceptingC.considering D.agreeing7.We can learn from the passage that all good readers ________.A.understand more about their surrounding than others.B.have a thorough insight to the problem in life.C.have the feeling of the language they read.D.have read extensively(广泛地) and criticallyAs we all know, children are fast learners when learning a second language. However, adults can study a second language as fast as children, a new study reports. Adults can develop the increased neural (神经的)connections with language study that can avoid dementia(痴呆)by four years, as well as make traveling a lot easier.In an examination of Spanish second-language learners, the researchers found that after simplest training, the brain activity between sentences that relied on grammatical features unique to each language was similar to that of native speakers. “I think it is the reason why people think university foreign language teaching is good. It shows that, even with limited time in the college classroom, learning can happen quite quickly and well, ”said professor Alison Gabriele, the co-author of the paper.Beyond that, it gives parents more reasons to study a second language as part of a family effort. Further research has shown that learning a language as a family effort improves everyone’s abilities and gives opportunities for learning something that are mostly absentfrom classroom settings. National Geographic reports in an interview with Christine Jernigan, author of Family Language Learning: Learn Another Language that as for immersion(沉浸)in language study, practicing a second language with people is the most important part, and who talks to each other more than a family? Language learners need to be brave. Besides, they should ready themselves for making mistakes and receive others’ advice.Most people will be far more comfortable making mistakes around family members than in a classroom setting. Furthermore, any home activity, whether that’s gardening, playing in the yard, watching movies, going shopping, cleaning, or cooking a meal, becomes an opportunity for language learning. Jernigan suggests preparing vocabulary before an activity and using it as short homework. Jernigan suggests using subtitles(字幕)too, so you can see which words are being used.8.What does the new study in Paragraph 1 find?A.Kids often travel a lot on their own.B.Adults have learnt a second language better than kids.C.Adults can study a second language as quickly as kids.D.Kids are likely to develop the increased neural connections.9.What does Alison Gabriele think of learning a language in the college classroom?A.It is successful.B.It is challenging.C.It is disappointing.D.It is boring.10.What is the advantage of learning a language as a family effort?A.Helping kids form good learning habits.B.Making parents control kids easily.C.Keeping kids focusing on the classroom.D.Having more chances to learn in different situations.11.What should language learners do according to the text?A.Try to take others’ advice less.B.Fit in with new learning environment.C.Be willing to accept others’ comments.D.Spend much time doing housework.As the concept of emotional intelligence (EI) has gone global, we’ve watched professionals fail as they try to improve their emotional intelligence because they either don’tknow where to focus their efforts or they haven’t understood how to improve these skills on a practical level. In our work consulting with companies and coaching leaders, we have found that if you’re looking to develop particular EI strengths, it helps to consider areas for improvement others have identified along with the goals you want to achieve and then to actively build habits in those areas rather than simply relying on understanding them conceptually.The first step is to get a sense of how your self-perception (how you see yourself) differs from your reputation (how others see you). This is especially true for the development of EI because we can be blind to how we express and read the emotional components of our interactions. For example, most of us think that we’re good listeners, but very often that’s really not the case. Without this external reality check, it will be difficult for you to identify the ways that your actions affect your performance. Getting teed back from others can also provide proof of the necessity of shifting our behavior and motivation to do so.To give you the best sense of where the differences lie between your self-perception and reputation, you should use a 360-degree feedback assessment that takes into account the multiple aspects of EI. The key is to find one to give you feedback, which is focused on development and not on performance assessment. And that can give you a detailed understanding of how other people’s assessments of you differ from your own assessments.Secondly, when you get your feedback from an assessment, let that inform what you want to improve. But also consider what your goals are. When it comes to cultivating strengths in emotional intelligence, you’re at a huge disadvantage if you’re only interested because others say you should be. Your emotional intelligence is so tied up in your sense of self that being intrinsically (内在的) motivated to make the effort matters more when changing longstanding habits than it does when simply learning a skill.That means the areas that you choose to actively work on should lie at the intersection of the feedback you’ve gotten and the areas that are most important to your own aspirations (抱负). Understanding the influences of your current EI habits relative to your goals will keep you going over a long period at time as you do the work or strengthening your emotional intelligence.12.What do we know from the first paragraph?A.EI can be better improved with others’ help.B.Leaders are badly in need of improving their EI.C.EI plays a key role in professional development.D.Professionals fail to understand the concepts of EI.13.According to the passage, which of the following is an “external reality check”?A.You help your siblings make a key decision.B.Your career development speeds up with others’ help.C.You reflected yourself and made a New Year resolution.D.Your teacher directed you towards a better attitude in study.14.What’s the main idea of Paragraph 4?A.To improve your EI, following your inner call is the most reliable.B.It’s bard for others to know your EI because it hides deep inside.C.To improve your EI, you should take your goals into consideration.D.Acquiring a new skill is more significant than improving your EI.15.Which of the following might the author agree with?A.Your inner self discourages you from improving your EI.B.Effective EI development is determined by different factors.C.The importance of performance assessment is underestimated.D.EI development is unlikely to happen unless you know what EI is.二、七选五Fake news spreads faster and more easily today through the internet, social media andand division.Some fake news also contains a mixture of correct information, which makes it difficult to spot what is true and accurate. 17 . They might not have read the full story before sharing or just glanced over it. Before you decide to share, make sure to read stories properly and follow some checks to determine the accuracy.If the story appears to claim a much higher level of certainty in its advice and arguments than other stories, this is questionable. 18 . So, it is only natural to more readily accept information that provides comfort or easy solutions – unfortunately, often in a false way.19 , it is worth double-checking. Fake news will try to grab your attention bybeing more exaggerated than real stories. Anything written entirely in capital letters or containing a lot of exclamation marks should raise your suspicions.The best sources for authentic information are your government websites. However, even government messaging can get things wrong. 20 . For instance, The Conversation is a more trusted source because all content is written by academics who are experts in their fields. Websites such as APFactCheck and Full Fact highlight common fake news stories. A search engine can be used to look up the title of the article to see if it has been identified as fake news by the mainstream media.A.If a story is more surprisingB.If a message presses you to shareC.Fake news may also be shared by trusted friends and familyD.People will be seeking certainty in a time of high uncertaintyE.But they are more trustworthy than unchecked sources on social mediaF.Think twice about the messages and help guide your family and friendsG.These messages may contain useless, incorrect information and advice三、完形填空Some of the students parted and her three children stepped out holding a birthday cake with two 33 that formed the number 70. “Happy birthday. Mom!” They exclaimed together, and that’s when Agnes lost her 34 for the first time.Don’t forget your parents, 35 your life gets busy. We need to act and remind them that they are loved.21.A.showed up B.set out C.fell ill D.passed away 22.A.worrying B.depressing C.surprising D.puzzling 23.A.purse B.book C.chair D.food 24.A.recognize B.admire C.demand D.recommend 25.A.promised B.ignored C.deserved D.permitted 26.A.approached B.discovered C.started D.touched 27.A.moved B.frightened C.delighted D.satisfied 28.A.disturbed B.inspired C.amused D.shocked 29.A.mentioned B.realized C.doubted D.admitted 30.A.followed B.invited C.guided D.introduced 31.A.gathered B.dried C.disappeared D.remained 32.A.gradually B.frequently C.secretly D.suddenly 33.A.presents B.flowers C.candles D.cards 34.A.strength B.enthusiasm C.calmness D.interest 35.A.as if B.even if C.so that D.now that四、用单词的适当形式完成短文五、任务型阅读请认真阅读下面短文,并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入最恰当的单词。

What I had hoped to be a romantic anniversary dinner for my wife Gladys and me turned out to be a very disappointing dining experience. I began to have my doubts the moment we walked inside. The dining room itself was clean, but the decoration was far too gaudy (花哨的) for my tastes. Multicolored images of clowns and large cartoon animals were stuck on almost every single wall. The tables were a bright lime green (橙绿色). It certainly did not look like the romantic restaurant that I was hoping for, but I am not one to judge a book by its cover.Gladys and I stood for what seemed like an hour waiting to be seated, but not a single employee even glanced at our way. Finally, we decided to just locate a table on our own. Although the restaurant was fairly crowded, we were able to find a table in the back. We took our seats and waited for a member of the wait staff to bring us menus.An unbearable amount of time passed and there was still no sign of a waiter or waitress. Perhaps having noticed our frustration, a customer sitting at the table next to us informed us that there were no waiters. Instead, we had to place our orders at the front of the restaurant and then bring our own food back to the table.No waiters? Who came up with this concept? What is the purpose of dining out if you have to get up and serve yourself? I was about to storm out, but my wife calmed me down.Eventually, Gladys volunteered to get the food for us. Somehow, I did manage to eat six of the hamburgers, but the seventh proved far too greasy (油腻的) for my liking. The chocolate milk shake that they offered as dessert was acceptable, but the cup it came in was very small.Overall, The BurgerShack’s combination of dreadful decoration, non-existence service, and disappointing food makes it a place to avoid. I certainly hope we will find a better place to celebrate our 51st anniversary next year!4.What does the author think of the decoration in The BurgerShack?A.Unattractive.B.Plain.C.Creative.D.Unique. 5.Why did the author and his wife wait a long time to be seated?A.There was no seat available.wealth of meanings. Mathematics and English as a second language do not develop naturally as a child develops a natural language; they need to be learned.8.What can be inferred from the first paragraph?A.Math is the medium of communication.B.English grammar can also be used in math.C.Both English and math have logic behind them.D.English and math are both general languages.9.Why can math be viewed as a language?A.It has operational signs.B.It is simpler than English.C.It can convey an entire thought.D.It has an infinite number of nouns. 10.What does the underlined word “ambiguity” probably mean?A.Similarity.B.Unclarity.C.Certainty.D.Evidence. 11.What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?A.To compare math and English as languages.B.To explain the logic behind English and math.C.To argue for the differences between math and English.D.To promote the development of science and technology.Chimps live in a male-dominated society, where most of their valuable allies (同盟) are other males. However, as young male chimps become adults, they continue to maintain tight bonds with their mothers, a new study finds.The dramatic changes of adolescence are difficult for chimps, just like they are for humans, says Elizabeth Lonsdorf, an expert on primates at Franklin& Marshall College who was not involved in the study. “Sure enough,” she adds, “their moms remain a key social partner during this time.”Previous research has shown chimp mothers provide their sons with support that goes far beyond nursing. Young male chimps that are close with their moms grow bigger and have a greater chance of survival. What’s more, losing their mothers after weaning (断奶), but before age 12, hinders the ability of young chimps to win other males and reproduce.To see whether this bond extends later into life, researchers followed 29 adolescent (9 to 15 years old) and young adult (16 to 20 years old) male chimps at a research site in Kibale National Park in Uganda and observed them from a distance for 3 years. The team found thatthe young adult males spent less time with their mothers than the adolescents did — 26% vs. 76%. As the male chimps grew older and more independent, they began to travel over wider ranges and spent more time away from their moms. And unlike the adolescents, they no longer cried for their mothers or sought comfort after fighting.However, when these young adult males happened to be in the company of their mothers, they acted just like the adolescents. They groomed (梳理) their moms just as often and kept track of them. “Many mothers remained the males ‘best friends’, or ‘social partners’ they associated with most frequently,” says study co-leader Rachna Reddy from Harvard University.Such persistent ties are also common in humans after sons leave their mothers and live on their own — especially in tough times, Reddy says. “We really feel what it’s like to not be able to see our mothers when we want to in tough times. The importance of those bonds in our lives and the comfort we get from them have deep evolutionary roots.”12.What do we know about Elizabeth Lonsdorf?A.She is in favor of the new study’s finding.B.She played a supporting role in the new study.C.She did a different study on chimps’ adolescence before.D.She thinks chimps actually live in a female-dominated society.13.What may happen when a male chimp loses its mother at 8?A.It may be more willing to work with other chimps.B.It may be hard for it to interact with other chimps.C.It may be much more aggressive than other males.D.It may be tough for it to compete with other males.14.What does Reddy aim to do in the last paragraph?A.To stress the significance of the study.B.To help understand her study’s finding.C.To improve humans’ mother-son relationship.D.To make a comparison between humans and chimps.15.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A.Mother plays a big role in male chimps’ life.B.Even as young adults, male chimps are mama’s boys.C.Chimpanzees live in a male-dominated society.D.Adult chimps are no longer children to their mothers.32.A.rhythm B.mood C.condition D.situation 33.A.curious B.tentative C.excited D.sincere 34.A.Perhaps B.Eventually C.Hopefully D.Instead 35.A.cast away B.picked up C.called up D.brought in 36.A.distribute B.spare C.collect D.share 37.A.thrill B.scare C.sorrow D.delight 38.A.worn B.found C.dyed D.worshiped 39.A.saluted B.recognized C.understood D.memorized 40.A.broken B.fascinating C.stubborn D.brave五、短文改错51.假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文,请你修改你同桌写的以下作文,文中共有10处语言错误,每句中最多有两处,每处错误仅涉及一个单词的增加、删改或修改。

As students, it is imperative for us to reflect on the profound theme of this year — “Beat Plastic Pollution”.Plastic pollution causes severe damage to our planet. Where there is human activity, there is plastic waste, which is affecting marine life, wildlife, and even human health. Moreover, dealing with plastic waste contributes to greenhouse gas emissions, worsening the climate crisis.It’s high time that we took measures to address this issue. Not only should we reduce our plastic consumption, for example, by using cloth shopping bags and steel plates, but we should actively recycle, pick up plastic garbage and promote a culture of responsibility.What makes a real difference is our daily effort. Let us rise to this challenge and make every day a World Environment Day.听力原稿:Text 1M: How is Uncle Jim’s farm? Does he still have all those goats he raised? I love watching them play in the mud with baby sheep.W: Yes, he still has them. He just bought a bunch of female cattle for milking, too. (1) I learned how to do it!Text 2M: I assume you’re looking for a car that’s better on fuel. Your last one seemed like it needed to be filled often. I bet it was expensive.W: Not really. It was a good car with a smooth ride. But I think this time I want something bigger, though. (2)Text 3M: Just keep in mind that I tried something new with this dish. If you don’t like it, please be honest. W: I wouldn’t lie to you and say it was good, if it wasn’t. I love trying new food, but now you’re making me scared to taste it. (3)Text 4M: How much do you weigh? It can’t be a lot. You look pretty light, but you’re also very strong. I’ve seen you lift a lot of weight.W: It’s rude to ask a lady how much she weighs! (4) I think you need some lessons in manners. Text 5W: I’m trying to plan this book I’m going to write. It’s hard to come up with material, though. M: I don’t understand how someone could write a book. How can you have that much time? It always takes many weeks to write a whole book. (5)Text 6 (第6题为推断题)W: John, are you almost done? I was supposed to go home an hour ago. My mother and father don’t like it when I miss dinner.M: I told you this wasn’t going to be quick, Janet. Yet, you wanted me to try and fix your computer today anyway. I’m doing it, but at this rate I won’t be finished before tonight. (7)W: Can I just call you later to see if it’s finished? I’ll need it to do the homework for tomorrow’s class. (7)M: Fine, but I am not going to come bring this to you when it’s done. I wish you would have waited until Friday to let me start this. I still have to do my homework for English class, too.Text 7W: We should buy Betty something to thank her. (9) (10) It was so nice of her to watch the dog while we went to Hawaii.M: We just got back home, Liz. I’ve barely taken off my shoes and you want to go to the mall? I’m going upstairs to take a shower before I consider anything. (8)W: Fine. Why don’t we just pay her some money then? It would have cost us about 300 dollars to have a professional take care of the dog. (9)M: I’ll agree if you want to give her half that much. (9) It looks like she ate nearly 100 dollars’ worth of our food while she stayed here for the week.W: That’s fair. I’ll take the money when I go there tomorrow. She left her jacket here, (10) so I was going to take that to her place.Text 8W: Can you help me find Jackson Avenue? (11) (12) (13) I just keep going around Front Street. I feel like I’m never going to find the way to my mother’s street! (11)M: The whole area is closed off because of an open gas line. (12) It happened last night during the thunderstorm when a tree fell down. We removed the tree, but it damaged the road. (12) You’ll have to park here on Front Street and walk. (13) It’s right over there, but you should wait because it’s also dangerous right now. There are many workers and big machines that are busy trying to fix the problem. (12)W: When will it open again? I have a lot of bags I need to take into my mother’s house.M: They won’t be done until around 6:00 p.m. I think you should wait to take your bags becausethe walkways are closed. But I think you should still park here for the night because it will be closed again in the early morning, and you won’t be able to drive out. (13)Text 9W: Who do you think was the best basketball player of all time? (14)M: Michael Jordan. (14) (15) He was amazing. Did you know that he was cut from his high school basketball team?W: No, I didn’t.M: His coach thought he was too short, but he kept growing.

Five times he was voted the Most Valuable Player, 14 times he was voted onto the all-star team, (14) (15) 10 times he scored more points in a season than any other player, and nine times he was voted the best player on defense. He also won two gold medals at the Olympics.(14)W: Sounds like you are a big fan? (14)M: Well, not really. (14) I liked another team, and he always beat them. But I was impressed by him.(14)W: Is he still playing?M: No, he’s way too old. He’s 57.W: Do they have a senior league?M: No, there is no senior league. At least, not a professional one.W: Why not? People could see all their favorite stars.M: In slow motion.W: What does Michael Jordan do now? (16)M: He owns a couple of businesses, like his own brand of clothing. (16) And he’s a part-owner of a basketball team.W: Like most retired athletes. (16)M: Actually, he does better than most retired players. Many don’t do well after they stop playing. Text 10Whale sharks are an amazing animal. They are considered to be both the largest fish and the largest sharks in the world. They can grow to be up to 12 meters in length and weigh up to 21 tons. For a comparison, the African elephant only weighs between two and seven tons. Whale sharks are unlike other sharks because they don’t attack people. (17) Instead, they feed on very small fish and sea creatures. They’re slow swimmers that usually live in the oceans of warm areas. They often travel very far for food as well. Scientists have been trying to figure out how to tell the ages of these sharks. However, scientists were not very successful for many years. This is because it’s harder to find older whale sharks. They are being overfished by humans who live in the areas where the whale sharks go to eat. (18) There was a success this past year, though. Scientists found a recently dead whale shark and created an interesting method to figure out its age. First, they take a sample from the bone. They’re then able to look at a very interesting mark. This mark is actually from the radiation of bomb tests during World War II. (19) By seeing where in the bone the radiation is, scientists can tell how old the adult whale shark is. They believe these sharks can live to be 100 years old or so. (20) 阅读A:21. A推理判断题。

Have you spent time cutting out unnecessary information to make sure the main ideas come through clearly?Personality and creativity, 40 percentDoes it have personality, or does it sound like you’re reading from a script (脚本)? Does it make us laugh or cry or leave us deep in thought?Production, 20 percentWe’re not judging you on how fancy your equipment is and we don’t expect you to be an expert on recording and editing sound, but we hope you’ll try.Some podcasts may use a narration format. Others may be more of an interview format. If you use sound apart from interviews and narration, make sure it is clear and smooth. 1.Who are qualified to submit the podcast to the competition?A.Editors.B.Students.C.Parents.D.Teachers. 2.What is a requirement for the entries?A.They should be more than eight minutes.B.They must be well structured and edited.C.They must be produced with special sound effects.D.They have to adopt aninterview format.3.Which statement is NOT true about the competition?A.October 28 is the deadline for all the participants to hand in their entry.B.The content of a podcast must be educational as well as entertaining.C.It doesn’t matter whether students are using equipment of high qualityD.Winners are evaluated in different aspects other than the script or format.The most important life lesson I’ve learned from running is to run at my own pace. This lesson has guided me in many ways. In particular, it made me challenge the fixed expectations of retirement and aging.Running is a metaphor (隐喻) for life. I realized this while training for a marathon to celebrate my 60th birthday. All the other runners being faster than me made me embarrassed, but my coach shared some valuable advice: run at your own best pace — setting a goal or target time could be a limitation. He was right. Over time I ran more easily and faster. I also enjoyed the experience much more.I have applied this principle to other areas of my life. Finding a rhythm is not about efficiency or how many things I can get done in a day. It has more to do with what I decide to do at this stage in my life. Running carries its own set of expectations, including what people at certain life stage should be doing or not doing. Expectations at my age can center on how leisure time is spent, decisions about employment, and even the role of a grandparent.I used to think it was young people who bore the impact of peer pressure, but older adults can experience it too. This is ironic, because often later in this life is a time when we tend to care less about the opinions of others.I’m not suggesting we postpone dreams. Of course, we should do what matters to us, but it’s easy to view retirement as another occupation with benchmarks (基准) to be met. It’s a comparison trap that makes what someone else does the reference point.Forget what others are doing. Their pace is not necessarily the pace you should run at. Run at your own way. Our bodies know what they need. Our hearts know what they need. In living life on our own terms, we will likely feel stronger in body, mind and spirit.4.What motivated the author to participate in marathon?A.Her keen wish to celebrate her 60th birthday.B.Her strong curiosity for fighting against aging.C.Her eager interest in doing regular exercise.D.Her urgent need to enhance her health and mind.5.What do the underlined words “this principle” in paragraph 3 probably refer to?A.Setting a target time.B.Finding your limitation.C.Enjoying your decisions.D.Running at your own pace.6.What does the author think of peer pressure?A.Its impact is only limited to young generations.B.Even senior citizens cannot avoid it completely.C.Its existence is too ridiculous to explain.D.It ends if we stop pursuing our dreams.7.What might the author intend to convey through her experience?A.Look before you leap.B.Birds of a feather flock together.C.It’s never old late to learn.D.Don’t follow the crowd.On January 7, David Bennett went into the operating room at the University of Maryland Medical Center for a surgical procedure never performed before on a human. The 57-year-old Maryland resident had been hospitalized for months due to a life threatening disease. His heart was failing him and he needed a new one.Bennett’s condition left him unresponsive to treatment and ineligible (不合格) for the transplant list or an artificial heart pump. The physician-scientists at the center, however, had another-also risky- option: transplant (移植) a heart from a genetically-modified pig.“It was either die or do this transplant,” Bennett had told surgeons a day before the operation. “I want to live. I know it’s a shot in the dark, but it’s also my last choice.”It took the medical team eight hours to finish the operation, making Bennett the first human to successfully receive a pig’s heart. “It’s working and it looks normal. We are thrilled, but we don’t know what tomorrow will bring us. This has never been done before,” Barkley Griffith, who led the transplant team, told the New York Times.While it’s only been five days since the operation, the surgeons say that Bennett’s new pig heart was, so far, functioning as expected and his body wasn’t rejecting (排斥) the organ. They are still monitoring his condition closely.“I think it’s extremely exciting,” says Robert Montgomery, transplant surgeon and director of the NYU Langone Transplant Institute, who was not involved in Bennett’s operation. The result of the procedure was also personally meaningful for Montgomery, who received a heart transplant in 2018 due to a genetic disease that may also affect members ofhis family in the future. “It’s still in the early days, but still the heart seems to be functioning. And that in and of itself is an extraordinary thing. Up to now most experimental heart transplant procedures have been done between pigs and other animals. This is the first time that surgeons have taken it into a living human.”8.What do the words “a shot in the dark” underlined in Paragraph 3 mean?A.Something that costs a fortune.B.Something impossible to succeed.C.Something drawing public attention.D.Something with an uncertain outcome.9.What is Barkley Griffith’s attitude to Bennett’s post-operation condition?A.Negative.B.Cautious.C.Optimistic.D.Uncaring.10.What is the text mainly about?A.The heated debate over the pig heart transplant.B.David Bennett’s contribution to medical research.C.The first experimental pig heart transplant in the world.D.The first successful pig heart transplant into a living human.11.In which section of a magazine may this text appear?A.Political Affairs.B.Global Entertainment.C.Sci-Tech Front.D.Financial Window.Women were less likely than men to support the Vietnam war, the Gulf war, or the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq. They commit far fewer murders. They are less likely to favor strikes. For some scholars, these are grounds for thinking that a world run by women would be more peaceful.But European history suggests otherwise, according to political scientists Oeindrila Dube and S. P. Harish. They studied how often European rulers went to war between 1480 and 1913, and found that states ruled by queens were 27% more likely to get involved in warsthan those ruled by kings.This was not all the queens’ fault: men, seeing them as soft targets, tended to attack them. Frederick the Great of Prussia once declared: ”No woman should ever be allowed to govern anything.“ Shortly after becoming king, he attacked the newly crowned Archduchess of Austria, Maria Theresa, and seized Silesia province. Despite years of war, she never recovered it.But perceived weakness is not the whole story. Queens, the researchers found, were more likely to gain new territory. Catherine the Great expanded her empire by some 200,000 square miles. And married queens were more aggressive than single queens or kings, whether single or married.The authors suggest several reasons for this. First, married queens may have been able to form more military alliances(联盟),making them confident enough to pick fights. Their husbands had often served in the army before they married, and were well placed to strengthen military ties between their homelands and their wives’ states.Second, unlike most kings, queens often gave their husbands a lot of power,putting them in charge of foreign policy or the economy. During the 1740s, Maria Theresa’s husband, Francis I, reformed the Austrian economy and raised money for the armed forces while his wife ruled much of central Europe. Prince Albert was Queen Victoria’s most trusted adviser, shaping her foreign policy until his death in1861. This division of labor, the authors suggest, freed up time for queens to pursue more aggressive policies.The modern era, too, has witnessed female leaders in wars: Golda Meir and the Yom Kippur war, or Margaret Thatcher and the Falklands. The number of countries led by women has more than doubled since 2000, but there is plenty of room for improvement: the current level of 15 represents less than 10 % of the total. A world in which more women took power might be more equal.

Rid yourself of assumptions and convictions so that you can be open and receptive to new information. 17 You will eventually come across information that challenges your worldview. Rather than remaining resting in your comfort zone, use this time to stop, reflect and shed light on these ideas in a way that can develop and expand your vision.After the mind has been ready, the next step is application. 18 Learning information you can use in your daily life is very important to having a continuous desire to further advance your education. Skill-based learning, for example, is useless if it isn’t applied. Reading a book on automobile repair isn’t the same as physically changing the oil or tire on your car. Reading about art isn’t the same as picking up a brush. If your knowledge can be directly applied in a functional and fun fashion, put it into practice! Many people learn by being hands-on.Surround yourself with like-minded individuals and try to always take something valuable away from your daily interactions. 19 If you come across anything that confuses you,ask them! Never be too prideful, for each question you don’t ask is a missed opportunity!20 Commit to expanding your mind, continuing your education and becoming a student of life. Use the world as your classroom, and always come away with a lesson. Remember to cultivate your mind so it is prepared to expand, blossom and grow. And share your fountain of knowledge.A.Go ahead and challenge yourself today.B.Create a to-learn list just as you would a to-do list.C.There are so many things they can do to achieve their goal.D.You can find a large number of outstanding people in your school.E.This at times may even contradict what you have always believed to be true.F.Many people are professionals in their field and have valuable information and insight to share.G.An often overlooked yet simple way to improve is to increase your knowledge by being a self-starter.三、完形填空The passengers on the bus watched with sympathy as Susan made her way carefully upof gratitude.
