Aat3am or written on paper,looking sad and regretful that we’ve put them there.Our words laugh at us before and after they leave our bodies.I messaged a writing mentor(导师)when I found myself running in circles.With only a small window of time to myself each afternoon,I found it hard to write.If only I had more time,I could finish my book.If only people would leave me alone,I could become an accomplished writer.It was everyone else’s fault.Small—my mentor told me to start small but keep going.“Do what you can,when you can.Let that be enough during the busy seasons.”In her eyes,she was once me.She was once crazy with tasks that kept her hands pushing,pulling, grabbing and moving endlessly.She recognized herself in the way I talked with starry eyes about my dreamy writing goals and plans.Essays,articles and short stories flowered in my rich mind.In a few wise words,she gave me the freedom to write in small periods of time she called“the cracks of the day”.She argued that I should run after publishing with the same desire as ever.But in her patient voice,I heard a gentle reminder of stopping running so hard and instead slowing to a sustainable pace.So I write.I submit.I live,and I dream.31．What can we infer about the author from the first paragraph?A．She has a strong desire to write.B．She has serious heart problems.C．She is forced to write constantly.D．She is unable

are demanding food grown without chemicals.Since the1990s,organic farm production has gone up continuously.This pattern is expected to continue around the globe.Australia leads the world in land used as for organic agriculture.It has four times as all of Asia.However,most of the land is not very fertile,and it only produces a modest amount of food.Argentina is a distant second,followed by Brazil,the United States and China.In Africa,only a very small amount of land is registered for organic farming.That does not mean Africa relies on chemicals.In fact,many farmers do not use chemicals because they cannot afford them.Yet there are no programmes for these farmers to prove they do not use chemicals.Without these programmes their food can never be approved organic.India has had the most dramatic recent increase in organic farming.Like many other countries,India sees continual growth in organic food sales around the world.This,of course,leads to growth in profits.Sales of organic food were more than doubled from2000to2005.Like India,many countries are trying to increase commercial organic farming to get a share of the sales.This has led to criticism.Some people believe that organic farming should not just be about making money.They think the goal is to help the environment.Others say organic farming will not continue if it is not profitable. They say that people should be able to make money while providing healthy food for mankind.42．What is the passage mainly about?A．Organic food has become much more common.B．Organic farming is growing around the world.C．People do not want to eat food with chemicals in it.D．Countries all want to make money from organic farming.43．Why do people want to increase organic farming?A．More and more people demand chemicals to grow food.B．Organic food is good for Earth and the human beings.C．There are fewer chemicals available to the human beings.D．Profits from organic farming help make approval programmes.44．From the passage,it can be said that__________.A．India uses the least land to organic farming.B．Brazil uses less land to organic farming than China.C．the US is the fourth largest organic farming country.D．China and India have the same amount of organic farmland.45．It can be inferred from the passage that__________.A．people who eat food with chemicals have shorter lifespan.B．India will soon become the largest country of growing organic food.C．more countries will farm organically as the environment gets worse.D．there will be fewer organic farms if the demand for organic food goes down.第三部分：阅读表达理解(共5题每小题2分，满分10分)阅读下列短文和问题，根据短文内容和每小题所给的具体要求，完成对该问题作答。

His fleet travelled manydays far away from land. One day, they were hit by a storm. All the sailors thought the fleet was going to sink. Then a strange light appeared and after that，the storm passed. The strangelight was probably electricity from the thunderstorm (雷雨)，but the sailors in Zheng He's fleet believed it was a sign of protection from the gods. With the belief, they were happy tofollow Zheng He wherever he led them.Zheng He completed seven famous voyages between 1405 and 1433. He visited many countries in Asia and Africa. He brought back many gifts from the countries he visited, such as medicines, pearls (珍珠) and strange animals.

Some are placed on hot plates, heated to 60℃，to see how long it takes for them to respond to the heat. Some are given deadly diseases.

2023年江苏省普通高中学业水平合格性考试模拟二英语第一部分单项选择题(共两节，满分70分)第一节阅读理解(共15小题，每小2分，满30分)What would life be like without commas(逗号)?It would be quite confusing.Take this simple sentence as an example:Let’s eat Dad!Without a comma,Dad becomes the food.Add comma,and Dad becomes a partner at dinner:Let’s eat,Dad!The comma enables people to have a better understanding of the sentence.Here’s another example:Tom said Sarah stole the cake.Here,Sarah is the thief.But add a pair of commas,and Tom becomes the thief:Tom,said Sarah,stole the cake.The examples above clearly show that people cannot do without commas in writing.Yet, the comma came from oral speeches.Long ago,most people could not read.They listened to the news or stories told by the people who gave speeches.The comma began as something to mark the resting place in a sentence.When reading,the speakers knew where to stop and take a breath.In writing,commas are like shining red lights on the road.They require that you wait a moment before continuing.And don’t add a comma when you feel like it.There are rules that people shall not break.Learn them,and you won’t be eating anyone or making wrong changes.1．Without commas,life would be________.A．frightening B．puzzling C．relaxing D．interesting 2．The author uses two examples in the passage to________.A．tell jokes to readers B．show the importance of using commas C．tell stories to readers D．show the difficulty of using commas 3．Commas were first used to________.A．indicate a long sentence B．rewrite an unclear sentence C．continue a sentence D．mark a break in a sentence 4．According to the last paragraph,we use commas by following________.A．our feelings B．our speechesC．certain rules D．some facts5．What is the best title for the passage?A．Commas Make Sentences Clear.1B．Commas Make English Interesting.C．Commas Make Writing Easy.D．Commas Make Speeches Surprising.At5:13on the morning of April18th1906,the city of San Francisco was shaken by a terrible earthquake.A great part of the city was destroyed and a large number of buildings were burnt.The number of people who lost homes reached as many as250,000.About700 people died in the earthquake and the fires.Another earthquake shook San Francisco on October17th,1989.It was America’s second strongest earthquake and about100people were killed.It happened in the evening as people were travelling home.A wide and busy road which was built like a bridge over another road fell onto the one below.Many people were killed in their cars,but a few lucky ones were not hurt.Luckily the1989earthquake did not happen in the centre of town but about50 kilometres away.In one part of the town a great many buildings were destroyed.These buildings were over50years old,so they were not strong enough.There were a lot of fires all over the city.The electricity was cut off for several days too.Why do earthquakes happen?Scientists explain that the outside of the earth is made of a number of different plates.At San Francisco the Pacific plate which is moving towards the northwest meets the North American plate.The Pacific plate is moving very slowly—at5.3 centimetres a year.Sometimes these two plates stop and do not move for years.Then suddenly,they jump and an earthquake is felt.As a result of the movement of these plates, west America near the sea has always been a bad place for earthquakes.When the1906 earthquake happened,the Pacific plate jumped5-6metres to the north.Scientists are afraid that one day an even bigger earthquake will hit the area around San Francisco.They call it“The Big One”.However,people today are still building more houses. The population in and around San Francisco is now ten times more than it was in1906.This means that if there is another big earthquake,a great many houses and buildings will be destroyed.6．Fewer people were killed in the1989San Francisco earthquake because the earthquake happened_______.A．in the centre of the city B．in the daytime试卷第2页，共7页C．outside the city D．in the evening7．Which might be the worst earthquake in the history of the USA according to the passage?

A．Bridge.B．Road.C．Car.D．Street.I’ve spent over a year in India,and in those365plus days,I’ve learned a lot about getting around Indian cities.My biggest lessons have been learned through being cheated,particularly by taxi and rickshaw(人力车)drivers,but that doesn’t mean those are bad ways to travel,as long as you know what you’re doing.Below are the best ways to get around the city of Delhi,India,and tips for how to keep from being the victim of scams(欺诈).Taking taxis is a great way to get around the city of Delhi and chances are,if you arrive in Delhi by plane,as soon as you make it through customs,you’ll be swarmed by Indian taxi drivers.At the Delhi airport,be sure to arrange for a taxi to your hotel at one of the two Delhi Traffic Police Taxi Booths.One is inside the airport,and the other is outside.The key is to make sure to go to a booth run by the police,rather than by independent taxi drivers.Rickshaws are one of my favourite ways to get around Indian cities,in part because it’s how the locals often travel.Auto-rickshaws are more common,but bicycle rickshaws are still used in Old Delhi.If you do have a chance to take a bicycle rickshaw,you should do it at least once for a unique experience that should only set you back about15rupees.Auto-rickshaw3rates around Delhi range between30and80rupees,depending on the distance.If you really want to travel around Delhi like the locals,take a public bus.Indian buses become very crowded and most do not have air conditioning.They are,however,very cheap.A bus trip won’t set you back any more than15rupees,as long as you stay within the city limits.Since Indian buses get so crowded,try to board the bus at the start of the route so you can get a seat.The train is a great way to get around within the city of Delhi.Fares are reasonable,between6and22rupees.All departure announcements are in both Hindi and English,and tokens can be purchased for between6and22rupees.11．The author is trying to in Delhi through this text.A．give some advice of travelling B．expect us to travel around C．show his/her experiences D．explain the difficulties of travelling 12．To avoid being cheated,you ought to if you want to take a taxi at the Delhi airport.A．pay more to the drivers to keep safe B．show your ticket to the driverC．go to a police-run booth D．go out of the airport13．The author suggests taking a rickshaw in order to.A．save some money B．enjoy the comfortable tripC．gain a unique experience D．help the local rickshaw drivers 14．What can we infer from the passage?A．You won’t have to pay much if you travel around by bus in India.B．It will be difficult for you to get a seat if you get on the bus halfway.C．A rickshaw driver only charges whatever amount you give him.D．You’ll have to speak English if you travel around in India.15．Which may be the topic that follows?A．Hotel recommendations in Delhi B．Weather conditions in Delhi C．Food and drink in Delhi D．Car rentals in
