Trying to stand out from the crowd amid a flood of such videos can often be difficult,but a relatively new account,which has only been active since last year,has managed to do easily.The fitness instructor behind this account is not a young woman with a slim,toned figure that would leave viewers green with envy.The star here is 70-year-old Chen Jifang,a Shanghai resident with 3 million likes on her Douyin videos.She was once even featured on a reality show on China Central Television.According to her trainer,who helped to manage the Douyin account,Chen attracted more than 400，000 followers within just a few months."The main group that I wanted to encourage was people at ages 30 to 50，" says Chen. "I think they will be motivated to work out in the gym after seeing that a granny like me can.The message I want to convey is that it is never too late to pursue good health."For Chen,her passion for exercising was born out of a need instead of a desire to become famous.According to Chen,her health had been poor since she was a child.She even had to give up her job after giving birth to her daughter because her health was severely affected by the pregnancy. "In the past,whenever I felt uncomfortable,I would lie at home for an entire day," says Chen,who used to be a saleswoman in a local company before retirement.4.What is the main idea of the text？______A.

When she became advanced in years.7.Which of the following is true？______A. It is easier for an old trainer to stand out on Douyin.B. Viewers may feel more jealous of young women.C. Chen's Douyin account is managed by her trainer.D. It is just a few months since Chen opened her Douyin account.CWeaving environment-friendly materials into beautiful clothing is normally brands' first step toward achieving sustainability.Allbirds is a shoe brand founded in 2016 in New Zealand,which just entered China two years ago.Many influencers are fans of the brand,including Larry Page,the co-founder of Google,Dick Costolo,the former CEO of Twitter,actress Emma Watson,and actor Leonardo DiCaprio.The brand chooses natural and sustainable wool from merino sheep as the main raw material,and it costs 60 percent less energy than producing typical synthetic（合成的）shoes；it sources tree fiber involved from farms in South Africa,where people minimize fertilizer and irrigate the land with rainfall,directly saving 95 percent water and cutting carbon footprint in half；sugarcane（甘蔗）involved is sourced from southern Brazil,which relies on rainwater as well.The brand received Forest Stewardship Council certification,approving that it sources materials that meet strict standards to protect forests,and the animals and people who depend on them.During China Fashion Week,which was recently held,an increasing number of Chinese brands showed their practice of sustainability.Demain presented the potential of plant-based regenerated fiber；Damowang formed recycled PET fabric into clothes,which cause 32 percent less carbon emission while producing comparing to normal PET fabric；I-La introduced new collection made from biodegradable（生物降解的）natural materials；Chicco Mao called attention to the catastrophic impact of global warming on coastal ecology through design. According to the report,although the number of mass market retailers,who make products from sustainable materials,stays low,it has increased fivefold in the last two years.Yan Yan,the head of Responsible Supply Chain Association,talked about sustainable fashion at China Fashion Summit on March 27.She said,"the realization of sustainable fashion counts on the transformation of the whole industry,involving designers' awareness,the selection of raw materials,manufacturing process,consumption concept and where these products will end up with."8.Why is Allbirds mentioned in the text？______A.

By proving facts.10.Which word best describes the writer's attitude towards this fashion trend？______A. Concerned.B. Objective.C. Optimistic.D. Unclear.11.What is the best title of the text？______A. Realization of SustainabilityB. Fashion BrandsC. Sustainable FashionD. Sustainable MaterialsDI once asked a seeming confident man what his biggest insecurity or fear was.To my surprise,he answered falling in love right now.He said he feared love because his number-one priority wasto maintain a concentrated mentality focused to better himself academically career-wise and altogether.You many say this is an excuse for not falling in love,but new research indicates that this man's reasoning might actually be accurate.A study was conducted by researcher Hank Van Steenburgen along with colleagues from Leiden University and the University of Maryland on 43 participants who were in new romantic relationships,meaning six months or less.They were asked to perform specific tasks such as separating relevant and irrelevant information.The result：the participants' ability to concentrate and perform tasks were not present.Steenburgen shared in his study：high levels of passionate love of individuals in the early stage of a romantic relationship are associated with reduced cognitive control.Also adding：it could be that the obsessive（迷恋的）nature of passionate love imposes important hardship on performing well in tasks that require self-control.Rae Padilla Francoeur,author of the book Free Fall：A Later-in-Life Love Affair,felt extremely head-over-heels for her current mate.Regardless of how emotionally ecstatic she was,the newfound love took a terrible toll on her health.She noted becoming lightheaded,losing weight,not being able to fall asleep for days or being able to concentrate on eating. Psychologist Dorothy Kenneth called this "limerence"，the obsessive state we are in,where we let work,friends,responsibilities and even ourselves slide so that we can satisfy our overly enthusiastic need for our new partner.Jennifer Nelson of say, "You lose your concentration.You many think very clearly,but you can't think about anything but him or her.It's the dopamine（多巴胺）that gives you that obsessive focus.Romantic love is just an obsession,and you are focused just not on work or you to-do list."12.What does the research indicate？______A. Many people fear passionate love for some reason.B. New love can have complex effects on individuals.C. Romantic love takes a terrible toll on people's health.D. Falling in love makes you less productive.13.Who could be one of the 43 participants？______A. Steenburgen.B. Rae Padilla Francoeur.C. Dorothy KennethD. Jennifer Nelson.14.What is the meaning of the underlined word？______A. Eager and exhausted.B. Obsessed and worried.C. Happy and excited.D. Enthusiastic and anxious.15.What is the writer's purpose in writing the passage？______A. To offer information.B. To give advice.C. To report events.D. To analyse reasons.二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共10.0分）While eating is functional,and our bodies need the fuel that food provides,dining with friends or loved ones can be a wonderful experience. (1) It seems embarrassing and depressing.But is dining alone really that bad？Maybe not.We all have foods we like and dislike.Maybe it's a spicy cheese or stinky fish.We sometimes hold back on things that may offend the noses of others. (2) And we can enjoy the meal with the added advantage that we might be able to eat more healthily.Often,if you want a salad and your significant other wants some less healthy cuisine,you end up ordering the same.Have you ever spent too long debating with people which restaurant to eat in or when to meet？If dining solo,you can make the choice depending on your own desires at that moment and get your nourishment at exactly the time you're hungry! (3) You could eat in a park,garden or even your bed—the point is,the choice is yours!That alone time also means it's a time to switch off.According to psychologist Sherrie Bourg Carter,a bit of solitude（独处）can help your brain to unwind and may help you concentrate more.(4) Eating alone can save you from the extreme anxiety that may arise listening to someone smack their lips or the sloshing of saliva in their mouths!So,is eating alone bad？Well,it may not be for everyone,but there certainly are some benefits to it. (5)A.Try it sometime—you might just like it!B.Our preference for certain foods may cause great trouble for others.C.When dining alone,we can consume whatever we like.D.However,some of us often find ourselves reserving a table for one in a restaurant.E.Finally,for some,dining alone can be a necessity.F.And why does it have to be a restaurant？G.The atmosphere of eating alone is very fantastic.16.

黑龙江省高二英语下学期期末考试试题一、阅读理解（本大题共15小题，共30.0分）AChoose Your One-Day Tours!Tour A—Bath & Stonehenge including entrance fees to the ancient Roman bathrooms and Stonehenge—￡37 until 26 March and ￡39 thereafter.Visit the city with over 2,000 years of history and Bath Abbey, the Royal Crescent and the Costume Museum.

Free time to visit Windsor Castle (entrance fees not included). With 500 years of history, Hampton Court was once the home of four Kings and one Queen. Now this former royal palace is open to the public as a major tourist attraction. Visit the palace and its various historic gardens, which include the famous maze (迷宫) where it is easy to get lost!Tour D—Cambridge including entrance fees to the Tower of Saint Mary the Great—￡33 until 18 March and ￡37 thereafter.Includes a guided tour of Cambridge, the famous university town, and the gardens of the 18th century.1.Which tour will you choose if you want to see England's oldest university city?A. Tour A.B. Tour B.C. Tour C.D. Tour D.2.Which of the following tours charges the lowest fee on 17 March?A. Windsor Castle & Hampton Court.B. Oxford & Stratford.C. Bath & Stonehenge.D. Cambridge.3.Why is Hampton Court a major tourist attraction?A. It used to be the home of royal families.B. It used to be a well-known maze.C. It is the oldest palace in Britain.D. It is a world-famous castle.BWhat is the first thing you notice when you walk into a shop? The products displayed (展示) at the entrance? Or the soft background music?But have you ever notice the smell? Unless it is bad, the answer is likely to be no. But while a shop’s scent may not be outstanding compared with sights and sounds,it is certainly there. And it is providing to be an increasing powerful tool in encouraging people to purchase.A brand store has become famous for its distinctive scent which floats through the fairly dark hall and out to the entrance, via scent machines. A smell may be attractive but it may not just be used for freshening air. One sports goods company once reported that when it first introduced scent into its stores, customers’intension to purchase increased by 80 percent.When it comes to the best shopping streets in Pairs, scent is just as important to a brand’s success as the quality of its window displays and goods on sales. That is mainly because shopping is a very different experience to what it used to be. Some years ago, the focus for brand name shopping was on a few people with sales assistants’ disproving attitude and don’t-touch-what-you-can’t-afford displays. Now the rise of electronic commerce (e-commerce) has opened up famous brands to a wider audience. But while e-shops can use sights and sounds, only bricks-and-mortar stores (实体店) can offer a full experience from the minute customers step through the door to the moment they leave. Another brand store seeks to be much more than a shop, but rather a destination. And scent is just one way to achieve this. Now a famous store uses complex man-made smell to make sure that the soft scent of baby powder floats through the kid department, and coconut (椰子) scent in the swimsuit section. A department store has even opened a new lab, inviting customers on a journey into the store’s windows to smell books, pots and drawers, in search of their perfect scent.4.According to the passage, what is an increasingly powerful tool in the successof some brand store?A. Friendly assistant.B. Unique scents.C. Soft background music.D. Attractive window display.5.E-shops are mentioned in the passage to ______.A. show the advantages of brick-and-mortar storesB. urge shop assistants to change their attitudeC. push stores to use sights and soundsD. introduce the rise of e-commerce6.The underlined word “destination” in Paragraph 5 means ______.A. a platform that exhibits goodsB. a spot where travelers like to stayC. a place where customers love to goD. a target that a store expects to meet7.The main purpose of the passage is to ______.A. compare and evaluateB. examine and assessC. argue and discussD. inform and explainCCalifornia sea lions are the fastest of all the sea lions, reaching speeds of up to 40 kilometers an hour when swimming. Males are much larger than females, measuring 2 to 2.5 meters and weighing 200 to 453 kilograms. Females only measure 1.5 to 2 meters and weigh 50 to 113 kilograms. They can also move fairly well while on land.California sea lions can be found living along the Pacific coast of North America. They prefer to live in waters near rocky and sandy shores. On land, they often gather in large groups as many as 1,000 of them. While at sea, they travel in much smaller groups of around 10 or more. They communicate with one another through a series of sounds.Their diet consists of a wide variety of fish and other sea animals. They are able to hold their breath for up to 10 minutes by slowing down their heart rate, allowing them to hunt for their prey for a longer period of time. They have been known to continuously hunt for up to 30 hours at a time, with their eyesight and hearing playing an important part in finding their food. Being so large, they do not have that many natural predators (天敌) that they need to be on the lookout for.Eleven months after getting pregnant, the female will give birth to one baby on land. If the baby can survive long enough, they can live to be 20 to 25 years old.California sea lions are not listed as an endangered species. This is largely because of laws such as the US Marine Mammal Protection Act of 1972. Hopefully such acts will continue to show results.8.What do we know about California sea lions?A. They weigh at least 113 kilograms.B. They swim faster than any other sea animal.C. Males are much larger than females.D. They usually move very slowly after leaving the sea.9.Which of the following descriptions about California sea lions might NOT be true?A. About 1,000 of them are often seen together on a shore.B. Hundreds of them hunt together at sea.C. They are often seen near rocky shores along the Pacific coast.D. They make a series of sounds to communicate with each other.10.California sea lions slow down their heart rate in order to ________.A. swim faster at seaB. have a rest while huntingC. hunt for over 30 hours at a timeD. stay in water for a longer time11.What is the main reason why California sea lions aren't endangered?A. That they are not worth much money.B. That they have no natural enemies.C. That they are protected well by laws.D. That they are good at raising the young.DWhen milk arrived on the doorstepWhen I was a boy growing up in New Jersey in the 1960s，we had a milkman delivering milk to our doorstep.His name was Mr.Basille.He wore a white cap and drove a white truck.As a 5-­year­-old boy，I couldn't take my eyes off the coin changerfixed to his belt.He noticed this one day during a delivery and gave me a quarter out of his coin changer.Of course, he delivered more than milk.There was cheese，eggs and so on.If we needed to change our order，my mother would pen a note—“Please add a bottle of buttermilk next delivery”—and place it in the box along with the empty bottles.And then，the buttermilk would magically（魔术般） appear.All of this was about more than convenience.There existed a close relationship between families and their milkmen.Mr.Basille even had a key to our house，for those times when it was so cold outside that we put the box indoors，so that the milk wouldn't freeze.And I remember Mr.Basille from time to time taking a break at our kitchen table，having a cup of tea and telling stories about his delivery.There is sadly no home milk delivery today.Big companies allowed the production of cheaper milk，thus making it difficult for milkmen to compete（竞争）．Besides，milk is for sale everywhere，and it may just not have been practical to have a delivery service.Recently，an old milk box in the countryside I saw brought back my childhood memories.I took it home and planted it on the back porch（门廊）．Every so often my son's friends will ask what it is.So I start telling stories of my boyhood，and of the milkman who brought us friendship along with his milk.12.Mr.Basille gave the boy a quarter out of his coin changer ______.A. to show his magical powerB. to pay for the deliveryC. to satisfy his curiosityD. to please his mother13.What can be inferred from the fact that the milkman had the key to the boy's house?A. He wanted to have tea there.B. He was a respectable person.C. He was treated as a family member.D. He was fully trusted by the family.14.Why does home milk delivery no longer exist?A. Nobody wants to be a milkman now.B. It has been driven out of the market.C. Its service is getting poor.D. It is forbidden by law.15.Why did the author bring back home an old milk box?A. He missed the good old days.B. He wanted to tell interesting stories.C. He needed it for his milk bottles.D. He planted flowers in it.二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共50.0分）What is happiness?

AScientists used to explore探测on the surface of the ocean. Now they are exploring below the surface, too. They want to know about ocean water and the plant and animal life deep in the ocean.In 1934 the scientist William Beebe dived 3 000 feet below the surface in a hollow steel ball. In 1935 August Piccard dived 10330 feet. In 1960 his son Jean dived to a depth of 35 800 feet. All these early dives were deep. But the divers could not stay down for very long. They had to come back up to the surface after a few seconds. Scientists needed to stay down longer to study life below surface. Gradually they succeeded. Cousteau, a Frenchman, was able to keep men down to a depth of 90 feet for a week.Now scientists are developing even better equipment. With this new equipment，men can stay below the surface for days or even weeks. In 1962 Cousteau set up a research station 35 feet below the surface. Then，in 1964，he set up another station on the ocean floor of the Red Sea. This was the first undersea station to operate without help from the surface.Many countries are now studying undersea living. The former Soviet Union has an undersea laboratory in the Crimean Sea. The United States has a laboratory 50 feet down on the ocean floor off the Virgin Islands. In 1970 five men lived there for two weeks. Then a team of five women scientists stayed in the laboratory. Next came other teams of men. All were there to explore the ocean depths and to make plans for the use of its resources. Scientists hope to find enough mineral，vegetable，and animal wealth there to provide food for the entire world.1.

Up to now only five women scientists have stayed in the undersea laboratory.C. The purpose of setting up the undersea laboratories is to make plansfor the use of theresources in the ocean.D. None of the above is true.BAn 80-year-old man was sitting on the sofa in his house along with his 45-year-old son. Suddenly a crow(乌鸦) landed on their window.The father asked his son, “What is that?”The son replied, “That is a crow.”After a few minutes, the father asked his son for the second time, “What is that?”The son said, “Father, I told you just now. It is a crow.”After a little while, the father asked his son the same question for the third time, “What is this?”This time his son shouted at his father, “Why do you keep asking me the same question again and again? I have told you already. ‘IT IS A CROW.’ Are you not able to understand this?”A minute later the father went to his room and came back with a diary, which he had kept since his son was born. On opening a page, he asked his son to read that page:Today my little son aged three was sitting with me on the sofa, when a crow suddenly landed on the window edge. My son asked me 23 times what it was, and I replied him 23 times that it was a crow. I hugged him lovingly each time he asked me the same question. I did not at all feel angry, but instead felt affection for my son.If you parents reach old age, do not look at them as a burden, but speak to them gently, and be kind to them. From today say this aloud, “I want to see my parents happy forever. They have cared for me ever since I was a little child. They have always showered me with love. I will take care of my old parents in the BEST way no matter how they behave.”4. The writer mainly intends to ______.A. tell us the function of a diaryB. call on us to love our parentsC. teach us what a crow isD. introduce a pair of son and father5. According to the passage, the son felt _____ when his father kept askingthe same question.A. puzzledB. angryC. gratefulD. surprised6. We can know that the father wrote this diary at the age of ______.A. eightyB. forty-giveC. thirty-eightD. thirty-five7. The old man brought out the diary, which he had kept since his son was born, because ___.A. he forgot what had happenedB. he would like his son to read itC. it could remind himself of the pastD. he wanted to find what a crow was in his diaryCAt no time in history has there been such a mass movement of people from the countryside to the city as is happening now. By the year 200, it’s estimated that more than two thirds of the world’s population will be living in cities, twice as many as today. This means that the problems faced by cities today—overcrowding, poor housing, unemployment, poverty and lack of food and water—will be twice as bad unless we find solutions soon.Another serious issue is how to provide good transportation for their citizens. Many of the world’s major cities are already struggling with out-of-date transport infrastructures(基本设施).How can they deal with the additional demands?London is a good example. Its enlargement was made possible by the invention of the steam engine, which powered the world’s first underground railway. But its transport system are now hopelessly out-of-date and need urgent modernization. London’s future success depends very much ondeveloping better public transport.Over a million people travel into central London every day from outside the city. They together with the people who live in London, want a public transport system that is efficient, safe and environmentally friendly. What they often get, however, falls far short of that ideal. Passengers complain about cost and pollution, while businesses worry about the problems their staff have in getting to work on time. Yes, the proportion of London households that own a car grew from just over ten percent in the early 1950s to over sixty percent today.As the city has become increasingly crowded and polluted, there has been a growing realization that action must be taken soon.8. It is believed that____.A. overpopulation causes the problem in citiesB. two thirds of the world’s population are living in cities todayC. it isn’t difficult to solve the problem faced by cities todayD. with fewer people we would be free from problems9. The underlined word “they” in the fourth paragraph refers to _______.A. the citizens in the city of LondonB.those who come to London from other placesC. passengers who make complaints about the costD. businesses who are anxious about their staff getting to work late10. The underlined words “environmentally friendly” is closest in meaning to ________.A. pleasant and nonpollutingB. cheap and punctualC. quick and straightD. fair and convenient11. The following paragraph of this text would most probably deal with___A. train and air travelB. traffic jams in LondonC. possible solution to London’s transportation problemsD. car ownership that continues to grow.DRecently a professor of philosophy(哲学)in the United States has written a book called Money and the Meaning of Life. He has discovered that how we deal with money in our day to day life has more meaning than we usually think. One of the exercises he has asked his students to do is to keep a record of every penny they spend for a week. From the way they spend their money, they can see what they really value(重视)in life．The professor says our relation with others often becomes clearly defined(明确)when money enters the picture. You might have wonderful friendship with somebody and you think that you are very good friends. But you will know him only when you ask him to lend you some money．If he does，it brings something to the relationship that seems stronger than ever before. Otherwise it can suddenl y weaken the relationship if he doesn’t．Since money is so important to us, we consider those who are rich to be very important. The professor interviews some rich people in his research for his book．Question: What is the most surprising thing you have discovered about being rich?Answer : The most surprising thing is why people give me so much respect(尊重). I am nothing．I don’t know much．All I am is rich．People just have an idea of making more and more money, but what is it for? How much money do I need for any given purpose in my life? In his book，the professor uncovered an important need in modern society：to bring back the idea that money is a tool rather than the end．Money plays an important role in the material world，but expecting money to give happiness may be missing the meaning of life.12. The students are asked to keep a record of every penny they spend to______.A. learn how to spend moneyB. learn how to make more moneyC. know what to write in a recordD. know what is important in life13. In the second paragraph, the professor mainly tells us ________.A. never to borrow money from a friendB. friendship disappears when it comes to moneyC. money can influence friendshipD. money can weaken friendship14．Through his book，the professor seems to tell us ．A. money is very important in the material worldB. the purpose of our life is to make moneyC. money does not surely mean happinessD. we should value money in our life15. Which of the following might the author disagree?A. Money is important in modern society.B. The meaning of life does not completely lie in money.C. Wealth will surely bring the owner happiness.D. Happiness is not necessarily the result of wealth.第二节 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

2023-2024学年黑龙江省哈尔滨市第九中学高二下学期6月月考英语试题The Summer Science Program is an independent nonprofit, the only summer program operated, governed, and largely funded by its former participants and teachers, which is proof of its impact on young people for more than six decades. Many participants call it “the educational experience of a lifetime.”What can SSP offer?SSP offers teens an exciting and inspiring immersion into hands-on experimental science. Working in teams of three, 36 participants and 7 teachers form a supportive “living and learning community” over 39 days. Each team completes a real research project, taking and analyzing original data. Afterward, they join a worldwide network of 2,500+ alumni of all ages.In 2024 we will operate six programs:•three in Astrophysics: research in near-earth asteroid orbit determination at New Mexico State Univ., Univ. of Colorado Boulder, and University of North Carolina Chapel Hill.•two in Biochemi stry: research in fungal crop pathogens at Purdue Univ. and Indiana Univ.•one in Genomics: research in evolution of antibiotic resistance, at Indiana Univ.Is SSP for you? SSP is open to current high school juniors (and a few truly exceptional sophomores) who have completed the pre-requisites by summer, and will be at least 15 years old, but not yet 19, during the program.Key Dates for 2024 ProgramsA．create hands-on science projects for teens B．support a living and learning communityC．collect and study data to carry out a project D．become part of a global alumni association2. Which is a requirement for the applicants?A．Attending a U. S. school. B．Funding the program.C．Holding a green card. D．Finishing pre-requisites.3. An overseas student had better submit the application before ______.A．February B．March C．April D．DecemberRecently, a set of video clips (片段) featuring a man showcasing umbrellas with various creative designs has gone viral on the Internet, even spreading overseas and attracting foreign netizens with the unimaginable “Chinese creativity”, CCTV news reported.In the clips, there are shining laser (激光) reflective umbrellas to dispel darkness, umbrellas with floor-length plastic curtains to prevent one’s clothes from getting wet, twin umbrellas specially designed for couples and many others. All of them are made by the man in the clips, Lei Penglin.38-year-old Lei has operated an umbrella factory in Shaoxing, Zhejiang Province. Netizens affectionately call him “uncle” due to his performances in the clips.In 2014, Lei established his own factory. At first, his factory received thousands of orders. However, as the competition intensified, Lei had to explore new opportunities. He found that creative and unique products always stood out. Therefore, Lei started to infuse creative ideas into the products and, in 2022, his umbrella with an attached flashlight gained popularity. “Consumers pursue personalized products. So the umbrellas have to function as decorations aside from just preventing sunshine and rain,” Lei said.In the comment section of the product videos, Lei noticed an interesting request with many likes, suggesting to him to make a reflective umbrella for walking in the dark. Following the advice, Lei created the “laser reflective umbrella”, selling over 70,000 units once upon release. From then on, Lei started to attach great importance to comments to absorb new ideas.Presently, Lei spends several hours reading comments every day. “Basically 300 to 500 comments a day, I will read and reply to them all by myself. Only by carefully observing can I know everyone’s need, and solve the after-selling problems on time,” he said. Several products developed based on the comments have been on shelf. “Almost all the umbrellas made so far can be sold; none have suffered loss,” Lei introduced.In the future, Lei hopes to make some Chinese-style umbrellas that can be paired with Han-style clothing. “I want to try something new and also advocate for our Chinese culture,” Lei added.4. What is the feature of Lei’s umbrellas?A．Conventional. B．Innovative. C．Unimaginative. D．Durable.5. What does the underlined word “infuse” in paragraph 3 mean?A．Divide. B．Burst. C．Integrate. D．Emerge.6. What is Lei’s attitude towards his future career?A．Uncertain. B．Indifferent.C．Dissatisfied. D．Optimistic.7. What contributes most to Lei’s success according to the author?A．Promoting his products through social media.B．Paying attention to customers’ comments and needs.C．Seeking uniqueness to compete with other producers.D．Adding elements of traditional culture to his products.I've been conducting scientific research with experts who specialise in advanced microscopy (显微镜观察) at Nottingham University for more than ten years. But I'm not a scientist—I'm an artist and lecture r in illustration.Despite their importance in education and society, science and art are often seen as distinct fields, which, in my opinion, restricts beneficial connections. I want to facilitate these connections by helping to make sense of scientists' work for a wider audience through my own work as an artist. I have seen the enormous potential that exists when scientists and artists work together.Like advanced imaging specialists, I am absorbed in light, colour, technology and science. When I discovered the Wellcome Trust's Sci-Art project in 1998, its belief—to facilitate connections that produce art directly inspired by science—encouraged me to seek out life scientists to collaborate (协作) with, because the methods we employ to create images are connected.Advanced microscopy is used to observe cells that the naked eye (裸眼) cannot see, while being as gentle as possible on the object being examined. My work focuses on the imaging potential of the biomedical data revealed through advanced microscopy. This artistic expression of scientists’ data can provide them with tools for showing their work in a different way to a different audience. For example, I work with scientists while they conduct image experiments, to discover how and why they generate image data of cell behaviour.Inspired by watching these scientists at work I create data pictures, seeing unique patterns, wonderful colours and movement through layers of skin at this carefully enlarged size. I then display my artwork along with advanced microscopy photographs at scientific conferences to compare results and highlight the aesthetic (类学的) potential of scientific data from an artist's viewpoint.I've worked with four science labs since 2010. Over a decade of combining science and art, I've discovered three major advantages to such collaborations. The variety of collaborations increased my appreciation for technical advances in scientific visualisation. They inspire both scientists and artists to think creatively. They contribute to making science more accessible to the general public.8. What role does the author play between science and art?A．A judge. B．A promoter. C．A guard. D．A leader.9. How did the Wellcome Trust's Sci-Art project impact the author?A．It inspired her to become a life scientist. B．It strengthened her belief in sharing andcaring.C．It got her to approach scientists for cooperation. D．It generated her interest in light and colour.10. What does the author's work involve?A．Collecting the biomedical data. B．Keeping track of cell behaviour.C．Conducting image experiments. D．Presenting data in an artistic manner. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text?A．Every science lab should have an artist on the teamB．It takes time to facilitate scientist-artist collaborationsC．Advanced microscopy inspires scientists to think criticallyD．Science should contribute to a variety of new art techniquesA new book makes the argument for being a careful kind of writer, even in informal, throwaway messages. Todd Rogers and Jessica Lasky-Fink are behavioral scientists, both at Harvard. Their Writing for Busy Readers is cleverly titled: all readers are busy nowadays. They present well-established principles that have long been prized in guides to writing including The Economist's style book: cut unnecessary words, choose those that remain from the vocabulary everyone knows and keep sentence structure simple. But Writing for Busy Readers brings evidence.Take “less is more”. Most books on writing well advise readers to cut needless words. The authors, however, have tested the principle. For example, in an email to thousands of school board members asking them to take a survey, cutting the length from 127 to 49words almost doubled the response rate. The same applies to text messages. In another experiment, a shorter message inviting parents to take the survey got more responses.Besides word-count, sentence structure and word choice are covered in the book. Short and active sentences, with common words, are best. The authors' other point s are less about writing than about design and information al packaging. Bullet points (项目符号), headings and formatting for emphasis are good—when used with care. But mixing up different forms of emphasis like highlighting, bold and italics (粗体和斜体的) is the “equal of a peanut butter, ham and Gorgonzola sandwich on banana bread: this combination adds up to an unpleasant, off-putting whole”.If everyone is a busy reader, everyone is a busy writer, too. That may make it appealing to fire off as many messages as quickly as possible and hope for the best. But from essays to text messages organizing dinner plans, devoting time to the needs of readers has provable benefits. If you are so busy that you write an undisciplined message that readers ignore and delete, then you might as well have not written it at all.12. What could be inferred from paragraph 1 about Writing for Busy Readers?A．It lays down principles for busy readers. B．It approaches writing as a science.C．It advocates writing simply. D．It is aimed at title writing.13. In what way is Writing for Busy Readers different from most books?A．It advises readers to cut needless words. B．It has adopted an evidence-basedapproach.C．It has overturned established writingD．It promotes the use of common words.principles.14. How do Rogers and Lasky-Fink look at the forms of emphasis?A．They should be combined in use. B．They could bring undesired effects.C．They matter less than sentence structure. D．They are key to informational packaging.15. What might the author suggest we do when we write?A．Prioritize readers. B．Try to polish the writing.C．Disregard word-count. D．Learn to change styles.How to overcome travel anxietyStress and anxiety around documents and procedures of travel is common. Here are some tips from experts on how to overcome travel anxiety and enjoy your holiday or trip.16 To be able to best cope with your travel anxiety, you need to have a good understanding of the things that actually cause it. Once you understand what triggers your anxiety, you can plan ahead for the best ways to handle it.Plan out your trip details. One of the reasons for your travel anxiety is that you’re being taken out of yo ur comfort zone and won’t have full control over everything. 17 That will give you a sense of control. However, it’s equally important to think of alternative plans for anything that could potentially not go as planned.Make use of different relaxation techniques. 18 Another useful way to calm your mind is by meditating. To make sure you find the mindfulness technique that works best for you, try out a few different ones beforehand and use the most efficient one during your trip to set your mind at ease. Have things with you that bring you joy. These can include physical item s like a book to read, or a game to play. It can be extremely useful in distracting you from your negative feelings. Alternatively, you can create a playlist of songs you love or have your favourite TV show with you.19Don’t forget your physical health. Being physically active is a great way to reduce feelings of anxiety and stress. 20 Going outside and connecting with nature can have a positive effect on your physical and mental wellbeing, which in turn will help reduce your anxious thoughts.Abigail Adjiri took part in a competition for kids aged 7 through 12.

He charges customers $15 to sharpen their pencils to perfections, using a variety of tools.I know what you're thinking — is this a joke? The 39-year-old gets asked that question a lot. To clarify everything, he even created a special section on his website telling everyone he's actually providing a real service. You can supply your own pencil or you can have Rees sharpen one of his own favorite 2B pencils. After that, he mails it to you in a display tube with the shavings in a separate bag, and an authentic certificate which just happens to mention the pencil is so sharp as to be a dangerous object. To achieve the desired result, the master sharpener uses all kinds of tools, including general sandpapers, pocket knives and even a special $450 sharpening machine. "It depends on what the customer wants to use his/her pencil for," he says. "That determines the most appropriate pencil-sharpening technique.Some customers buy pencils as inspirational symbols while others buy them because of their special memories of classic 2B pencils.$15 to have a pencil sharpened is a bit expensive though, right? You're not the only one who feels that way, and David's unique business has really angered lots of people, who talk of inequality in America, saying it is so insane for the wealthy to pay $15 to sharpen a pencil. But others will say, "This is just our urge to put an end to the welfare state because new ideas arise along with the business."David admits his trade is sort of unusual.

It's a fancy service.B. It has a good reputation.C. It's awfully expensive.D. It wastes time and money.CIt is a question people have been asking for ages—is there a way to turn back the aging process?For centuries, people have been looking for a “fountain of youth.” The idea is that if you find a magical fountain, and drink from its waters, you will not become old. Spanish explorer Juan Ponce de León searched for waters with magical powers in the early 1500s. But what he found instead is the American State of Florida.Researchers in New York did not find a fountain of youth in fact, but they may have found a way to turn back the aging process. It appears the answer may be hidden right between your eyes, in an area called the hypothalamus (丘脑下部).The hypothalamus is part of your brain. It controls important activities within the body, including growth, reproduction and the way we process food.Researchers at New York’s Albert Einstein College of Medicine found that hypothalamus stem cells also influence how fast aging takes place in the body. What are stem cells? They are simple cells that can develop into specialized cells, like blood or skin cells. Stem cells can also repair damaged parts in the body.Professor Dongsheng Cai was the lead researcher in a study on aging in mice. Cai explains in the Journal Nature what they found. “Aging speed can be controlled by a particular place in the body, which is the hypothalamus. And it can be controlled by a particular type of cells, which are hypothalamus stem cells. I think these findings are quite interesting.”He adds that when the hypothalamus starts aging, so does the body. “So when hypothalamus function is decreasing, particularly the loss of hypothalamus stem cells, this protection against the aging development is lost. It finally leads to aging.”Using this information, the researchers began trying to activate (激活) the hypothalamus in mice. They did this by putting stem cells from younger mice into middle-aged animals. Later, the researchers examined mice and tested for changes in behavior. They also looked for changes in the strength of the animals’ muscles and the way they worked. The researchers say the results show that the treatment slowed aging in the animals.Cai says when hypothalamus stem cells, which were derived from young mice was put into middle-aged mice, the mice aged slowly and they also have increased the length of their lives.But these results were just from studying mice in a lab. If the mice can live longer, does that mean people could have longer lives? The next step is to see if the anti-aging effects also work in human beings.8. Juan Ponce de León’s story was mentioned in order to show ________.A. the efforts he made to discover FloridaB. the fruitless work to find the magical fountainC. the non-stop search for the way to stay youngD. the impossible existence of “fountain of youth”9.The hypothalamus has control over activities EXCEPT________.A. growthB. reproductionC. aging processD. food production10. What can we learn from the passage?A. Stem cells are specialized cells which can repair damaged parts.B. Aging is the result of function loss of hypothalamus stem cells.C. The strength of the animals’ muscles slows the process of aging.D. Aging speed is controlled by stem cells instead of hypothalamus.11. The underlined words “were derived from” probably means “________”.A. came fromB. changed fromC. resulted fromD. developed fromDChina’ Forbidden City----traditionally off-limit at night for anyone except emperors and visiting dignitaries (显要人物）---- was decorated with lanterns as China celebrated the end of the Chinese New Year holiday. The complex, home to Chinese emperors for five centuries, was opened at night for the first time since it was reopened as the Palace Museum 94 years ago. The complex and palace walls were illuminated with red lanterns and a light show, designed to recreate the feelings of the royal court, while the China National Traditional Orchestra and the Peking Opera performed. An image of a treasured scroll called A Thousand Li of Rivers and Mountains was cast onto the palace roof.Most of China’s 1.3 billion people, however, had to watch the show on television. Only 3,000 people were allowed in: 2,500 invited guests and 500 people who booked their tickets online. “The 3,000 visitors can show off for the whole year,” one person said on Weibo. When booking for the second day opened at midnight, the booking system crashed for more than an hour due to great demand. The free tickets were quickly taken when it reopened. A lively secondary market soon appeared. Scalpers were selling tickets for as much as 9,999 yuan on online trading sites.The Palace Museum is now on a campaign to attract more visitors, with its former curator Shan Jixiang saying he wants to make traditional Chinese culture more accessible to the general public. More than 80 percent of the palace is now accessible to visitors, up from 30 percent in 2020. Shan has set a target of 85 percent by 2020 to mark the palace’s 600th anniversary . Creativity today has made the Palace Museum younger and drawn traditional culture closer to the public.12.What does the underlined word “illuminate”probably mean in Paragraph 2?A.Cared for.B. Lit up.C. Picked out.D. Kept safe.13.How do most Chinese admire the night view of the Forbidden City ?A.By watching TV at home .B.By grabbing free tickets onlineC.By buying tickets from the secondary market.D.By receiving invitation from the Forbidden City.14.What will happen in 2020 according to Shan Jixiang?A.The campaign between museums will be better.B.Creativity will make the Palace Museum younger.C.Traditional Chinese culture will be recreated by foreigners.D.About 85 percent of the palace will be accessible to visitors.15.What can be a suitable title of the text ?A.A Brief Introduction of the Forbidden CityB.Difficulties in Getting Tickets to the Forbidden CityC.Performances During the Light Show in the Forbidden CityD.Forbidden City’s First Opening to General Public at Night第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

While you may find it comfortable to sit with one knee crossed over the other, it might be causing health problems that you are not aware of.A study published in Blood Pressure Monitoring stated that sitting with your legs crossed can increase your blood pressure. The reason this happens is because the blood in your legs has to work against gravity to be pumped back to your heart, crossing one leg over the other increases resistance, making it even harder for the blood to circulate. This causes your body to increase your blood pressure to push the blood back to the heart. You won’t feel any immediate effects, but if you sit for long periods of time it’s important that you take note of how long you have your legs crossed for. You shouldn’t have your legs crossed for more than 15 minutes, and it’s important that you get up and walk around a t least once every hour.Crossing your legs can also lead to neck and back pain. Ideally, it’s best for our bodies to sit with our feet planted flat, hip width apart, on the floor, but it’s not easy to maintain perfect posture all day at the office.You also might notice that when you sit with your legs crossed for long periods of time your feet and legs get tingly（刺痛的） or have the feeling of being asleep. While the feeling of discomfort may only last a minute or two, repeatedly crossing your legs until they feel numb can cause permanent nerve damage.So next time you sit down, try to get yourself in the habit of sitting with both of your feeton the floor. Not only will it help your posture and stability, but it will also save your health in the long run.1.Crossing legs affect your blood pressure because___________.A. it causes your body to push the blood back to the heart.B. you can not feel any immediate effects.C. it is harder for the blood to circulate.D. you don’t have enough time to walk around.2. To solve the problems caused by crossing legs, you’d better_______.A. sit with your feet planted flat on the floor for hours.B. keep your sitting posture and stability permanently.C. try to be aware of whether you are comfortable or not.D. pay attention to how long you have your legs crossed for.3.Which word can not describe the feeling when you cross your legs for a long time？A. tiredB.nervousC.numbD. painfulBIf you have a chance to go to Finland, you will probably be surprised to find how “foolish” the Finnish people are.Take the taxi drivers for example.Taxis in Finland are mostly high­class Benz with a fare of two US dollars a kilometer.You can go anywhere in one，tell the driver to drop you at any place，say that you have some business to attend to，and then walk off without paying your fare.The driver would not show the least signs of anxiety.The dining rooms in all big hotels not only serve their guests，but also serve outside diners.Hotel guests have their meals free, so they naturally go to the free dining rooms to have their meals.The most they would do to show their good faith is to wave their registration cards to the waiter.With such a loose check，you can easily use any old registration card to take acouple of friends to dine free of charge.The Finnish workers are paid by the hour.They are very much on their own as soon as they have agreed with the boss at the rate. From then on they just say how many hours they have worked and they will be paid accordingly.With so many loopholes（漏洞） in everyday life, surely Finland must be a heaven to those who love to take “petty_advantages”．But the strange thing is that all the taxi passengers would always come back to pay their fares after they have attended to their business and that not a single outsider has ever been found in the free hotel dining rooms.And workers always give an honest account of the exact hours they put in.As the Finns always act on good faith in everything they do，living in such a society has turned everyone into a re al “gentleman”．4．The underlined words in Paragraph 5 means to “________”．A. be ready to help othersB．make good use of one's friendsC．be a little ahead of othersD．gain something at others’ expense5．Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage？A．While taking a taxi in Finland，you can get off without first paying your fare.B．In a big hotel in Finland, you can enjoy free meals if you're living in the hotel.C．The bosses in Finland pay the employees according to the registration of their working hours.D. The workers are always honest with their working hours.6．We can learn from the passage that ________.A．the Finnish society is of very high moral（道德的）levelB．there are many loopholes in everyday life in FinlandC．in Finland，most taxi drivers will not charge you anythingD．everyone in Finland is like a gentleman，for they have faith in themselves7．Which of the following is the best title of the passage？A．Life in FinlandB．A Society with “Foolish” PeopleC．What a LifeD．Honest accounts of the FinnsCFinding fruits and vegetables at your typical grocery store that have been grown without the extensive use of pesticides can be difficult. Fortunately, The Environmental Working Group （EWG） has done all of the work for you in finding healthy and pesticide—free produce.EWG has created the 2018 Shopper's Guide to Pesticides in Produce, which helps shoppers to find uncontaminated produce. Many consumers do not realize that pesticide residues（残留） are very common on conventionally grown produce products, even after they have been washed or peeled. Because of this, EWG has created their series of guides to lead consumers to safer food choices.In order to create these guides, EWG analyzed the USDA pesticides tests, which found a total of 230 different pesticides and pesticides breakdown products on thousands of produce samples. Analyzing this information, EWG observed the big differences of the amount of pesticides found from product to product.The guide's two main components are two compiled lists highlighting the cleanest and dirtiest produce concerning pesticides. These two lists, Dirty Dozen and Clean Fifteen, show consumers how certain foods continue to carry trace amounts of pesticides with them all the way to the grocery store shelves, while others make it to your kitchen virtually pesticide—free.Some of the highlights from their analyses included the following findings：More than one—third of strawberry samples analyzed in 2016 contained 10 or more pesticide residues and breakdown products.Spinach（菠菜）samples had, on average, almost twice as much pesticide residue by weight compared to any other crop.No single fruit sample from the Clean Fifteen tested positive for more than four pesticides.“With EWG's guide, consumers can fill their fridges and fruit bowls with plenty of healthy conventional and organic produce that isn't contaminated with multiple pesticide residue，” said Sonya Lunder, a senior analyst in EWG.Only 25 years ago, the National Academy of Sciences raised concerns about exposure to poisonous pesticides in our food, yet consumers still consume a mixture of pesticides every day in America.8. Why did EWG create the 2018 Shopper's Guide to Pesticides in Produce？A. To analyze the USDA pesticides tests.B. To advertise organic produce.C. To warn some food companies.D. To help consumers make safer choices.9. What is the result from the analysis of the USDA pesticides tests？A. All the samples are polluted.B. 230 pesticides are banned.C. Pesticide amounts vary in products.D. All strawberries are poisonous.10. Where are shoppers most likely to find spinach？A. Dirty Dozen list.B. Organic food advertisement.C. Clean Fifteen list.D. Safer food list.11.What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs？A. All conventional produce is safe.B. No pesticides were used on crops 25 years ago.C. Consumers never worry about pesticides.D. Produce safety remains a problem.DAfter photographer Monni Must’s daughter Miya died, the sad mother adopted her black dog, Billy Bean. As Billy became increasingly weak, the thought of its dying was just more than Must could handle. So she decided to clone the dog. “I feared everyone was going to forget Miya,” she said, “and my other daughters thought I had completely lost my mind.”Billy's cells were shipped to ViaGen Pets, a Texas company that provides the cloning service. With more than $50,000, Must picked up a new puppy. “The dog has a real soul and is everything my daughter was—fun, social and kind,” she said. “I feel that I st ill have that touchable connection and not just a spiritual connection.”Cloning animals is hardly new. But the recent news that singer Barbra Streisand had cloned her dog grabbed international headlines. People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals（PETA）president Ingrid Newkirk issued a statement saying she would love to talk her out of cloning, noting that millions of wonderful dogs are getting old in animal shelters every year or dying in terrifying ways when abandoned.Normally, a doctor takes a tissue biopsy（组织活检）, a piece of skin and muscle about the size of a pencil eraser, from the dog. The next step is to take an egg cell from a donor dog, remove the egg’s nucleus, and insert DNA from the pet to be cloned. When an embryo（胚胎）develops, it is transplanted in the body of a mother dog.In the basic cloning procedure, scientists take an entire adult cell and put it into an egg that’s been relieved of its own DNA. The resulting embryo is a clone. However, in many animals, only one in 100 cloned embryos ever leads to a live birth. Some embryos die in the IVF dish or in the mothers bodies. Of those that are born, a few suffer from abnormalities andquickly die. Besides, pet cloning doesn’t mean copying everything of your beloved pets.12. Why did Must decide to clone Billy Bean？A. She felt alone without its company.B. Her work experience inspired her to do so.C. She wanted to keep her daughter’s memory.D. Her family encouraged her to get a new dog.13. What’s Newkrik’s attitude towards pet cloning？A. Supportive.B. Negative.C. Objective.D. Uncertain.14. What does Paragraph4 mainly talk about？A. How dog cloning works.B. The achievements in dog cloning.C. The disadvantages of pet cloning.D. How to support animal protection.15. The last paragraph implies that animal cloning________________.A. is widely accepted now.B. has a very high failure rate.C. gives pet owners false information.D.has made a breakthrough in recent years.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
