AHere are some Chinatowns for those outside of China wishing to celebrate the Chinese New Year.LondonAlthough it may not be as large or as long-built as others, having only become a center for the Chinese community dur ing the 1950s, London’s Chinatown is a perfectly formed firework that knows how to present itself with a bang. Decorated with red lanterns, previous years have seen shows with acrobatics(杂技), martial arts, dances and operas nearby.San FranciscoSan Franci sco’s Chinatown is perhaps the most famous in the USA．The city was the main entry-point for the Chinese who had crossed the Pacific to the USA during the early 19th century. Between Grant Avenue and Stockton Street, this historic area is a local treasure, attracting more visitors per year than the Golden Gate Bridge.BangkokWith an about 100-year-old history, the Thai capital’s Chinatown contains complex streets offering all kinds of tasty food, clothes and toys. Sunday Market days are such a good time to getthe full atmosphere of the neighborhood. The area is also famous for its gold dealers, and there are lots of gold shops along the road.Port LouisFound in Port Louis, this Mauritian Chinatown shows the island nation’s rich multicultural diversity. Built in the early years of the 20th century by settlers from China, its tiny shops and restaurants serve locals and visitors. During the Spring Festival, the most exciting sight is the dragon dances on Rue Royale when Chinese musicians and dancers perform the traditional dragon dances through the streets.1．Which of the following has the longest history?A．London’s Chinatown.B．San Francisco’s Chinatown.C．Port Louis’ Chinatown.D．Bangkok’s Chinatown.2．What’s special about Bangkok’s Chinatown?A．It is crowded with Chinese restaurants.B．It is the major entrance for the Chinese.C．It is well-known for its gold business.D．You can enjoy fireworks there.3．If you want to enjoy the dragon dances, you can go to ________.A．Rue Royale in Port Louis B．Sunday Market in BangkokC．Grant Avenue in San Francisco D．the Chinese community in LondonBIf you were to throw, say, a banana peel out of your car while driving along the motorway, that would be a completely harmless action, due to the fact that it’s part of a fruit —right? Actually, no. A banana peel can take up to two years to be naturally processed, and with a third of motorists admitting to littering while driving, that’s a whole lot of discarded banana peels. An orange peel and a cigarette butt’s biodegrading (生物降解) term is similar to that of a banana peel, but tin cans last up to 100 years and plastic bottles last forever, as do glass bottles.Despite the fact that longer-lasting materials will serve to damage the environment and its animals for a longer time, w e can’t merely measure the severity of a certain type of rubbish by itslifetime. For example, despite having a fairly short length of biodegrading time, more than 120 tons of cigarette-related litter is discarded in the UK every day.It’s not a cheap habi t either: to keep our streets clean annually costs UK taxpayers ￡500 million, and when you include our green spaces, that goes up to ￡1 billion. So, it’s not surprising that if caught fly-tipping (乱倒垃圾) you will face a ￡20,000 fine or even jail time and, if you dispose of something dangerous, the court will give you five years to serve. Regardless of how severe these punishments might seem, however, among the reported cases only 2,000 were found guilty out of 825,000, so we still have some way to go in making sure people obey the rules. 4．What does the underlined word “discarded” in Para. 1 mean?A．Harmless. B．Processed.C．Thrown. D．Long-lasting.5．Which of the following has the longest biodegrading term?A．Tin cans. B．Glass bottles.C．Cigarette butts. D．Banana peels.6．What can be learned from the last paragraph?A．Fly-tipping will only cost people some money.B．It’s not so hard to make sure people obey the rules.C．A large number of people were found guilty of illegally littering.D．Every year UK taxpayers spend huge amounts of money to keep the streets from dirt. 7．What is the purpose of the passage?A．To call for people not to litter illegally.B．To stress the importance of good behavior.C．To encourage people to use fewer plastic bags.D．To inform readers of different biodegrading terms.CPhysical education, or PE, isn’t required for all high school students. In some schools, it isn’t offered for some different reasons. But should high school students have physical education? The answer is certainly “yes”.Today many people don’t do sports. But as is known to all, doing sports is very important for an adult. Teaching teens the importance of a healthy lifestyle and making fitness plans now canhelp teens put exercise in the first place as an adult.High sch ool isn’t that easy. Many students are under a lot of stress. Stress can be harmful to a student’s study and life. Doing sports can help them deal with stress better, helping them live a happier life at school.The American Heart Association says that 10 million kids and teens suffer from obesity (肥胖症). Teens should get 60 minutes of physical activity per day to control their weight and to help their bones get stronger. The increase in activities that don’t get teens to move around, such as video games and computer activities, means many teens don’t get their required exercise. PE classes act as a public health measure to encourage physical activities and help teens have healthy weights.Not doing sports increases teens’ risk of developing many diseases. An active lifestyle offers a good way of protection from these health problems. As much as 75 percent of health-care spending goes toward treating medical conditions that can be hindered by lifestyle changes,according to the American College of Sports Medicine.According to the President’s Council on Fitness,Sports and Nutrition (PCFSN), students who performed five hours of physical activity each week improved their academic (学业的) performance. Students from programs with no physical activity, who used the extra time for classroom study, did not perform better on tests than those who gave up some study time in support of physical education.8．According to paragraph 2, what does physical education in high school mean?A．Making teens attach importance to exercise later.B．Removing the stress faced by teens at school.C．Getting teens to encourage adults to exercise.D．Helping teens learn to make good plans.9．What does the underlined word “hindered” in paragraph 5 mean?A．Measured. B．Prevented.C．Shown. D．Caused.10．According to the PCFSN, doing sports ________.A．means making students choose between sports and studiesB．helps students make good use of all their timeC．means students adjust to their studies betterD．helps students do better in their studies11．What is the text mainly about?A．Why high school students should receive physical education.B．Why some schools consider physical education important.C．How schools can help students love doing sports.D．How high school students can live a better life.DIf ther e is one thing I’m sure about,it is that in a hundred years from now we will still be reading newspapers.It is not that newspapers are a necessity.Even now some people get most of their news from television or radio.Many buy a paper only on Saturday or Sunday.But for most people reading a newspaper has become a habit passed down from generation to generation.The nature of what is news may change.What basically makes news is what affects our lives—the big political stories,the coverage of the wars,earthquakes and other disasters will continue much the same.I think there will be more coverage of scientific research,though.It’s already happening in areas that many directly affect our lives,like genetic (基因的) engineering.In the future,I think there will be more coverage of scientific explanations of why we feel as we do—as we develop a better understanding of how the brain operates and what our feelings really are.It’s quite possible that in the next century newspapers will be transmitted (传送) electronically fr om Fleet Street and printed out in our own home.In fact,I’m pretty sure that how it will happen in the future.You will probably be able to choose from a menu,making up your own newspapers by picking out the things you want to read—sports and international news,etc.I think people have got it wrong when they talk about competition between the different media (媒体).They actually feed off each other.Some people once foresaw that television would kill off newspapers,but that hasn’t happened.What is read on the p rinted page lasts longer than pictures on a screen or sound lost in the air.And as for the Internet,it’s never really pleasant to read something just on a screen.12．What will probably be in the newspaper made by yourself?A．Sports and international news.B．A menu of important news.C．The most important news.D．What you are interested in.13．From the passage,we can infer ________.A．newspapers will win the competition among different mediaB．newspapers will stay with us together with other mediaC．television will take the place of newspapersD．the writer believes some media will die out14．The underlined phrase “feed off” in the last paragraph means “________”.A．depend on B．compete withC．fight with D．kill off15．What is the best title for the passage?A．The Best Way to Get NewsB．The Changes of MediaC．Make Your Own NewspapersD．The Future of Newspapers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。

AWe’ve tested hundreds of mom-approved products that happen to make perfect Mother’s Day gifts. Here are our recommendations.BabbelIf your mom has always wanted to learn a new language, give her the gift of gab with Babbel. Each online course will be personalized by her interests and molded into bite-sized lessons so she can easily learn at her own pace. It’s a great budget-friendly option for diving into a new language. We tested it and found it to be a fun and effective language learning tool.Thermo Works Thermapen Mk4When it comes to the best digital meat thermometers, it doesn’t get better than Thermo Works. We highly recommend the Thermapen ONE, which was the fastest and most accurate thermometer we tested and would have been our top pick if it wasn’t so expensive. But it’s waterproof,precise and fast-acting.A Bouqs SubscriptionFresh flowers at Mom’s doorstep will always be appreciated, especially on Mother’s Day. This year, instead of just one bouquet, gift her a subscription (订购）to Bouqs. You can change the frequency of the delivery along with the type of blooms she receives — roses one month, sunflowers the next. She may adorably text you a picture of her bouquet every month it arrives and remind you to maintain the subscription. Go ahead and switch it up to keep Mom on her toes.A Personalized Collage (拼贴画)There are few gifts better than personalized ones, especially when it comes to the mom whopretty much already has everything. With services like Minted, you can upload your own photos for a collage and watch your beautiful creation come to life. Customize the frame and color theme to best match mom’s style and watch her fall in love with her new heartfelt gift.1. What might discourage people from choosing the Thermapen ONE?A. Price.B. Function.C. Accuracy.D. Appearance.2. What do we know about A Bouqs Subscription?A. It can be canceled at random.B. It texts to remind renewing.C. It restricts to monthly deliveries.D. It offers wide choices of flowers.3. In which column of a website is the text probably taken from ?A. Life.B. Wellness.C. Literature.D. Entertainment.BCourage is a huge theme in my life, a quality I constantly seek, appreciate, and analyze. The root of“courage”is “cor,” the Latin word for heart. Originally, courage meant“to speak one’s mind by telling all one's heart.”While courage is often associated with heroism nowadays, I believe true courage lies in being open and honest about who we are and how we feel.I recently witnessed an example of true courage. During a mountain-climbing trip with my 15-year-old daughter and some college students, I noticed her struggling to keep up with the group. Despite my suggestions to rest, she persisted until she couldn't breathe properly.Panicked, I called out to the front for help, but there was no response, and we had no cellphone signal. Fortunately, two students just came back to check out on us. They offered assistance and calmed us down. As we continued at a slower pace, they shared their own experiences, from starting out as beginners like my daughter to becoming consistently among the first to reach the peak.“You know,” one of them said, looking at my daughter,“I was just like you when I started. But with practice and proper pace, you'll get there too.”“Yeah, don't let your lack of experience stop you,” the other added. “It's okay to admit when you're struggling or not feeling alright. In fact, it's important to speak up and ask for help when you need it. That's how we improve and grow.”Reaching the mountain top was a huge relief for both my daughter and me. However, the two students addressed the celebrating group directly, emphasizing the importance of staying together in tough environments. Their words led the group to apologize to us for overlooking our struggle.I was totally amazed at their bravery, and my daughter learned that it's okay to be the least experienced in a group. Courage, I've come to realize, has a ripple effect. Each time we choose courage, we inspire those around us to be a little braver and make the world a little better.4. Why does the author mention the original meaning of courage?A. To argue for the true essence of courage.B. To question the common belief of courage.C. To show the changing meaning of courage.D. To compare different interpretations of courage.5. What did the two students suggest the daughter do?A. Challenge her own limits.B. Seek help whenever possible.C. Keep to a suitable pace.D. Stick with experienced climbers.6. Which action in the mountain-climbing story is an example of true courage?A. The mother asked the girl to rest.B. The girl tried hard not to fall behind.C. The group celebrated the reach of the top.D. The two students pointed out the group's fault.7. What does the author intend to tell us?A. Kindness connects us all.B. Being a beginner takes courage.C. With courage, everyone can be perfect.D. We don't have to be a hero to be brave. CFrom crystal-blue lakes to snow-capped mountains and thousand-year-old trees, Canada’s nature is admired around the world. Now it might also be just what the doctor ordered. An ambitious new programme allows doctors to write prescriptions (处方) for free annual passes to Canada’s national parks, encouraging their patients to improve their health — both mental and physical — by taking a stroll (散步) in nature.The prescriptions are provided by PaRX, in partnership with Parks Canada. The first passes were handed out last month, giving holders access to more than 80 national parks, historic sites and nature reserves. PaRX, a health initiative (倡议) launched in 2019 by the British Columbia Parks Foundation, notes on its website that spending time in nature can lead to longer lives, increased energy, reduced stress and anxiety, improved heart health, less pain and better mood. Vitamin D from the sun’s rays has proven health benefits. The organization also hopes that the prescriptions will boost investment in conservation in Canada.The initial provision covers four Canadian provinces: British Columbia, Saskatchewan, Ontarioand Manitoba. Participating doctors have only 100 annual passes to hand out for now, but PaRX hopes that the programme will be expanded.“Medical research now clearly shows the positive health benefits of connecting with nature,” Steven Guilbeault, the environment minister, said. “I am confident this programme will quickly show its enormous value to the well-being of patients as it continues to expand throughout the country.”Canada’s physicians are already in the habit of prescribing “nature therapy” as a treatment for anxiety, depression, high blood pressure, immune function and insomnia (失眠). Previously, though, they would write more general prescriptions, such as spending time in nature twice a week, for at least 20 minutes at a time. This is the first time that they have been able to equip their patients with tickets.8. Why does the author mention Canada’s nature in paragraph 1?A. To recommend doctors’ prescriptions.B. To advertise Canada’s natural scenery.C. To introduce a health initiative program.D. To demonstrate health benefits of nature.9. What makes the prescriptions significant?A. A boom in park visiting.B. A rise in economy.C. Investment in conservation.D. Improvement in health.10. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. Patients doubt the general prescriptions.B. The previous “nature therapy” is popular.C. It is a tradition to offer patients park tickets.D. “Nature therapy” is no longer just on paper.11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. Nature Heals Mental DiseasesB. Canada Possesses Admirable NatureC. Doctors Order A Walk in The WildernessD. Canadian Doctors Have Free Access to ParksDFeeling overloaded by your to-do list can certainly make you unhappy, but new research suggests that more free time might not be the elixir many of us dream it could be.In a new study released last week, researchers analyzed data from two large-scale (大规模) surveys about how Americans spend their time. Together, the surveys included more than 35,000 respondents. The researchers found that people with more free time generally had higher levels of subjective well-being — but only up to a point. People who had around two hours of free time a day generally reported they felt better than those who had less time. But people who had five or more hours of free time a day generally said they felt worse. So ultimately the free-time “sweet spot”might be two to three hours per day, the findings suggest.Part of finding this seemingly tricky “sweet spot” has to do with how people spend the extra time they have, the researchers behind the new study argue. They conducted several smaller online experiments. In one they asked participants to imagine having 3.5 to 7 free hours per day. They were asked to imagine spending that time doing “productive” things (like exercising) or to imagine doing “unproductive” activities ( like watching TV). Study participants believed their well-being would suffer if they had a lot of free time during the day — but only if they used it unproductively. Though that experiment was hypothetical, which is one limitation of the new research, it’s certainly in line with other research showing that being in a state of “flow” can be good for people’s mental health.Of course, what feels “productive” is up to you. Many traditionally productive or purposeful activities can be easy and fun. Engaging in a bit of low-key cardio, like walking and jogging, can help burn stress. Free-time activities like reading or cooking are also known to put people in a state of flow.12.What does the underlined word “elixir” in paragraph 1 refer to?A.Magic solution.B. Physical power.C.Psychological test.D. Relaxed atmosphere.13.How did the researchers carry out the new study?A.By doing large-scale online surveys.B.By giving interviews and mental tests.C.By comparing respondents’ backgrounds.D.By conducting experiments and analyzing data.14.What is a distinct finding of the new research?A.Doing unproductive things leads to unhappiness.B.Being in a state of flow benefits people’s mental health.C.Man’s well-being is positively related to the free time they have.D.How people spend their free time affects their sense of well-being.15.What is the focus of the last paragraph?A.The importance of burning stress.B.Easy and fun activities to kill time.C.Further explanation of being productive.D.The benefits of engaging in free-time activities.第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

2022-2023学年广州市玉岩中学高一下学期4月月考英语试题1. While tea may have originated in Asia, now there are many countries all around the world that have tea woven into their food culture and traditions.

Since Kelsea Ballerini appeared on the Nashville scene in 2015, she’s been known for her cheerful songs and energetic personality. “I’ve always presented myself as a very happy-go-lucky person,” she says “but there’s more.” Indeed, in her new poetry book Feel Your Way Through, the “Half of My Hometown” singer, 28 shows how she found strength after a difficult youth.In her teen years Ballerini struggled with bulimia. “My Parents h ad just gotten divorced, and I think for me it was a source of control.” she says of her eating disorder. After passing out several times, she finally sought help at 18. “It’s a journey, and it’s never-ending.” Life in the spotlight can sometimes worsen her body-image issues, but she’s learned how to deal with them. Today she’s in a much healthier spot, and she is much more gentle with how she talks to herself.Ballerini faced perhaps her biggest emotional challenge during her second year in high school, when she watched a friend die in a school shooting in her native Knoxville, Tenn. “There’s a moment in everyone’s life when something happens and you go, Life is short’, and that was mine,” Ballerini says, adding that she still suffers PTSD (创伤后应激障碍) from th e terrible event. “Fortunately, everyone close to me knows about it, and they help me.”One of Ballerini’s biggest supporters is her husband, fellow singer Morgan Evans, 36. Because of her parents’ divorce, she says, “I made up my mind that I was never going to get married.” But with Evans, she adds, “I have a healthier idea of marriage. I don’t see it as a fairy tale.

Sweetest Day is always the third Saturday in October. This holiday is much more important in some regions than in others (Detroit, Cleveland and Buffalo being the biggest Sweetest Day cities). It is a holiday that is gaining in popularity every year throughout the country.Sweetest Day is celebrated on the third Saturday in October as a day to make someone happy. It is an occasion which offers all of us an opportunity to remember not only the sick, aged and orphaned but also friends relatives and associates whose helpfulness and kindness we have enjoyed.Over 60 years ago, a Cleveland man, believing that the city’s orphans and shut-ins (卧病在床的人) too often felt forgotten and ignored, formed the idea of showing them that they were remembered. He did this through handing out small gifts. With the help of his friends and neighbors, he distributed these small remembrances on a Saturday in October. During the years that followed other Clevelanders began to participate in the celebration ceremony, which came to be called “Sweetest Day”. In time, the Sweetest Day idea of spreading cheer to the underprivileged (弱势群体) was broadened to include everyone, and became an occasion for remembering others with a kind act or a small remembrance. And soon the idea spread to other cities all over the country.Sweetest Day is not based on any single group’s religious belief or on a family relationship. It is a reminder that a thoughtful word or deed enriches life and gives it meaning. Because for many peopleremembering takes the form of gift-giving, Sweetest Day offers us the opportunity to show others that we care, in a practical way.1. Which of the following is TRUE according to the first paragraph?A．More and more people are now celebrating Sweetest Day in the whole country.B．Sweetest Day is a holiday which always falls on the second Saturday in October.C．Sweetest Day is much more important in big cities than in small cities.D．Only a few religions have the tradition to celebrate the holiday.2. The idea of creating Sweetest Day came from ______.A．the city’s orphans and shut-ins B．a city named Cleveland 60 years ago C．a man who cared orphans and shut-ins D．a man’s friends relatives and associates 3. Sweetest Day is celebrated in the following ways EXCEPT ______.A．a kind act B．a family party C．gift-giving D．a smallremembrance4. From the third paragraph we can learn that ______.A．it is the people in Cleveland who spread Sweetest Day to other citiesB．only with the help of the man’s friends and neighbor she got a small remembranceC．over 60 years ago, a man too often felt forgotten and neglectedD．all people loved to be remembered by others on Sweetest Day in Cleveland5. The best title for the passage is ______.A．A Cleveland Man B．The Biggest Sweetest DayC．The Opportunity to Show D．Sweetest Day4. Christmas Activities for Adults1 .

The exhibition will be located on Level 3 of Coe Library. It will be on view through Tuesday, May 31.The exhibition takes place at the same time as this year’s 150th anniversary of the creation of Yellowstone National Park. The posters in the exhibition serve the purpose of both advertising and art.“We’re thrilled to be working with Yellowstone collectors Jack and Susan Davís, and Larry and Thea Lancaster to bring this exhibition to the University of Wyoming as part of year-long celebrations recognizing Yellowstone’s 150th anniversary,” says Tamsen Hert, head of UW Libraries’ Emmett D. Chisum Special Collections. “This exhibition involves the history of printing, art, photography and advertising over 16 decades. The images reproduced are found on travel brochures, postcards and maps—many of which are held in our collections.”One poster from the exhibition—Henry Wellge’s “Yellowstone National Park”from1904—was recently purchased with donated funds and is now part of UW Libraries’ Emmett D. Chisum Special Collections. Wellge, a productive bird’s-eye-view artist, designed the piece for the Northern Pacific Railroad, which used it to advertise the park. This is a unique piece, as posters such as this one were printed on soft paper and very few have survived.16. How long will the exhibition “Wonderland Illustrated”last?A．Two weeks.B．Three months.C．Four months.D．One year.17. What is a purpose of the exhibition?A．To remember a famous artist.B．To raise fund for Coe Library.C．To mark the anniversary of a national D．To tell the history of the University ofpark.Wyoming.18. What do we know about the 1904 poster Henry Wellge designed?A．It is rare in the world.B．It is in black and white.C．It is printed on cloth.D．It is owned by a professor.Parrots are prey animals, which means that other predators (捕食者) in the wild, such as hawks or snakes, are looking to make them into a meal. This one factor influences parrots’ behavior in your house more than any other.Parrots are most easily hurt when feeding on the ground. Membership in a group plays an important function in ensuring their safety and improving their chances of survival from attacks by predators. The most common predators of parrots include hawks, snakes, cats, monkeys, and bats. Some predators make attacks only during the day while others hunt in the night.As prey animals, parrots are constantly watching out for danger and they instinctively (本能地) react to risks. Their first choice is to take flight. However, if this is not possible, they will fight with their powerful beaks to defend themselves. Because their biggest enemy is the hawk, parrots are especially reactive to quick movements from above and behind. For this reason, it is wise to avoid quick, sudden movements near your bird. This is a built-in reaction not subject to logic or reason. Simple and relatively harmless household objects can draw extreme fear responses from a bird. For example, a balloon may represent a hawk or a vacuum hose (吸尘器软管) may be the same as a snake in your bird’s mind.As prey animals, parrots are often frightened by exposure to new household items or strangers. It is important to expose your bird to safe experiences and changes starting at a very young age to build flexibility and improve their adaptability. Variety in diet and toys, travel, and exposure to new people and places all help to make your bird more flexible and adaptable to change.19. What is important for parrots to better survive from attacks in the wild?A．Living in a group.B．Growing beautiful feathers. C．Feeding on the ground.D．Avoiding coming out at night.20. What is parrots’ first response to an immediate risk?A．To attack back.B．To get away.C．To protect the young.D．To play dead.21. Why would a balloon frighten a parrot?A．It may explode suddenly.B．It may be in a strange shape.C．It may have a strong color.D．It may move around quickly.22. What is the author’s purpose of writing the text?A．To explain wild parrots’ behavior.B．To give advice on raising a parrot. C．To call for action to protect animals.D．To introduce a study on bird ecology.In his 1936 work How to Win Friends and Influence People, Dale Carnegie wrote: “I have come to the conclusion that there is only one way to get the best of an argument — and that is to avoid it.” This distaste for arguments is common, but it depends on a mistaken view of arguments that causes problems for our personal and social lives — and in many ways misses the point of arguing in the first place. Carnegie would be right if arguments were fights, which is how we often think of them. Like physical fights, verbal (言语的) fights can leave both sides bloodied. Even when you win, you end up no better off. You would be feeling almost as bad if arguments were even just competitions — like, say, tennis tournaments. Pairs of opponents hit the ball back and forth until one winner comes out from all who entered.Everybody else loses. This kind of thinking explains why so many people try to avoid arguments.However, there are ways to win an argument every time. When you state your position, formulate (阐述) an argument for what you claim and honestly ask yourself whether your argument is any good. When you talk with someone who takes a stand, ask them to give you a reason for their view and spell out their argument fully. Assess its strength and weakness. Raise objections (异议) and listen carefully to their replies. This method will require effort, but practice will make you better at it.These tools can help you win every argument — not in the unhelpful sense of beating your opponents but in the better sense of learning about what divides people, learning why they disagree with us and learning to talk and work together with them. If we readjust our view of arguments — from a verbal fight or tennis game to a reasoned exchange through which we all gain respect and understanding from each other — then we change the very nature of what it means to “win” an argument.23. What is the author’s attitude toward Carnegie’s understanding of argument?A．Critical.B．Supportive.C．Tolerant.D．Uncertain.24. Why do many people try to avoid arguments?A．They lack debating skills.B．They may feel bad even if they win. C．They fear being ignored.D．They are not confident in themselves.25. What does the underlined phrase “spell out” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A．Defend.B．Explain.C．Conclude.D．Repeat.26. What is the key to “winning” an argument according to the author?A．Sense of logic.B．Solid supporting evidence.C．Proper manners.D．Understanding from both sides.For lots of kids, toddlerhood (幼儿期) is an important time for friendship. Studies show that the earlier kids learn to form positive relationships, the better they are at relating to others as teenagers and adults. Playing together also helps these kids practice social behaviors, such as kindness, sharing, and cooperation.Even so, how quickly your child develops into a social creature may also depend on his temperament(性格). Some toddler s are very social, but others are shy. In addition, the way that toddlers demonstrate that they like other children is markedly different from what adults think of as expressions of friendship. Research at Ohio State University in Columbus found that a toddler’s way of saying “I like you” during play is likely to come in the form of copying a friend’s behavior.This seemingly unusual way of demonstrating fondness can result in unpleasant behavior. Regardless of how much they like a playmate, they may still grab his toys, refuse to share, and get bossy. But experts say that this is a normal and necessary part of friendship for kids this age. Through play experiences, toddlers learn social rules. That’s why it’s so important to take an active role in your toddler’s social encounters by setting limits and offering frequent reminders of what they are. When you establish these guidelines, explain the reasons behind them.Begin by helping your child learn sympathy (“Ben is crying. What’s making him so sad?”), then suggest how he could resolve the problem (“Maybe he would feel better if you let him play the ball.”). When your child shares or shows empathy(同理心) toward a friend, praise him (“Ben stopped crying! You made him feel better.”). Another way to encourage healthy social interaction is by encouraging kids to use words- not fists-to express how they feel. It’s also important to be mindful of how your child’s personality affects playtime. Kids are easy to get angry when they’resleepy or hungry, so schedule playtime when they’re refreshed.27. What does it indicate when toddlers copy their playmates’behavior?A．They are interested in acting.B．They are shy with the strangers. C．They are fond of their playmates.D．They are tired of playing games.28. What does the author suggest parents do for their kids?A．Design games for them.B．Find them suitable playmates. C．Play together with them.D．Help them understand social rules. 29. What is the function of the quoted statements in paragraph 4?A．Giving examples.B．Explaining concepts.C．Providing evidence.D．Making comparisons.30. Which of the following is the best title for the text?A．How Children Adapt to Changes B．How to Be a Role Model for Children C．How Your Baby Learns to Love D．How to Communicate with Your KidCommon Mistakes New Runners MakeRunning is a great way to get in shape and just about everyone can do it. However, many make a number of common mistakes, which can interfere (妨碍) with training or lead to injury. 31 , keep these things in mind to help you increase your chances of running success.·Doing too much too soonOne of the biggest mistakes new runners make is doing too much too soon. Slowly easing into a training program will help reduce the risk of injury, so you can continue on with your new running routine 32 .· 33Beginners might think they need to run every day (or nearly every day) to meet their fitness or weight-loss goals, but this couldn’t be further from the truth. Running is a high-impact activity which can be really hard on your body. So it’s important to give your body a rest between workouts.·Not wearing the right equipment34 , it’s important that you wear properly for your workouts. The most important piece of equipment for running is a good pair of running shoes, so be sure to do some research before you purchase a pair. Visit a running specialty store and ask an employee to fit you for a shoe.•Running through pain35 If something hurts when you run, you need to stop and treat the pain. Remember: It doesn’t make you less of a runner if you listen to your body to keep it healthy.A．Not taking rest daysB．If you’re just starting outC．Comparing yourself to othersD．Running can be uncomfortable at timesE．It’s important not to use the same musclesF．While it may be true that you don’t need expensive equipment to take up running G．Experts suggest increasing your running distance by no more than 10% each week三、完形填空Last year, I started the journey of being a remote product designer.
