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.

When she learned many dogs lived in bad conditions or had their lives cut short, she decided to give them back to the dog shelters that had helped her family find their family dogs.So, instead of having a big party for her initiation ceremony (成人礼), she decided to help the dogs. As Molly said, “To be an adult means doing good things, but I didn’t want to focus on a party. I didn’t really need a party, but the dogs need the help.”Molly was already a shelter volunteer helping out once each week. But she decided to take things to the next level. Molly started the Precious Animals Wonderful Shelters Project to help the dogs in bad situations travel across the country to find people who were willing to adopt them. Molly set a target to raise $2,500 in one year to give to 14 local shelters along with items like toys. Over the year, her project grew.Molly ended up volunteering over 400 hours and sold homemade dog toys and treats, and key chains at 45 different events. In just a year, she raised $38,000. Meanwhile she also took two “transport” trips from Georgia to her home state of Massachusetts to move 110at-risk dogs to the Northeast, where she helped each find a home. With the money she raised, she could get every dog vet visits, food and transport.Molly hopes to save another 100 dogs this year. She is a wonderful example of a young person following her heart and taking action to make the world a better place. Molly is not only saving 100 dogs’ lives, but she is changing the lives of those who adopt them as well. 4．Why did Molly start the project?A．To help the dogs find new homes.B．To get more money to raise dogs.

The impact of this crisis is far-reaching, and new research shows that it’s affecting parents’well-being, plus their ability to succeed at work and provide for their families.“On Our Sleeves, a national movement that aims to break shame around children’s mental health, surveyed more than 3,000 working parents across the US and found that 8 in 10 parents have been very concerned about their child’s mental health and development or behavior in the past two years. Children’s mental health concerns have been hiding in plain sight for many years, surrounded by confusion and shame,” says Marti Bledsoe Post, the director of On Our Sleeves.The survey found that 53% of working parents have missed work at least once per month to deal with their children’s mental health. And 71% of parents said issues with their child’s mental or emotional well-being made the stresses of work much more difficult to cope with.“Employers need to know that many of their employees are struggling and it is impinging their work as a result,” says Marti. “Our mission with On Our Sleeves is to provide every family in America access to free, evidence-based educational resources. We see this study as incredibly important in starting the conversation and providing solutions for working families.”As Marti points out, for some parents, taking a child to weekly therapy (心理治疗) appointments and attending meetings at school consume a lot of time. These parents should be helped.8．What do parents care about most at present?A．Economic effect.B．Pressure on children.C．Children’s mental health.D．Children’s education.9．What does paragraph 4 show about kids’ mental health?A．It is a main social problem.B．It makes doctors confused.C．It’s difficult for parents to handle.D．It impacts on their parents’ work. 10．What does the underlined word “impinging” in paragraph 5 mean?A．Selecting.B．Judging.C．Affecting.D．Doubting.11．What can we learn from the text?A．Most children’s mental health is good.B．The economy has few effects on the youth.C．Parents’ health can affect kids, mental health.D．It’s urgent to solve kids’ mental problems.As supplies of fresh water become smaller around the world, efforts are under way to obtain more of it from various sources. Driven by pollutants in underground water and the environmental cost of bottled water, European companies are at the forefront of this technological challenge.GENAQ is a Spanish company known for atmospheric water generators, a device to generate fresh water from the air. The company has been developing atmospheric water generators since 2008 and has customers in 60 countries, mainly emergency services and industrial users.Carlos Garcia, general manager of GENAQ, foresees a world in which many millions of homes will get water out of thin air. He led the Horizon-funded STRATUS project to expand the market. Through the project, the company developed a new version designed for people at home. These new generators can be attached to houses and create fresh water for their inhabitants.So how does it work? Firstly, air around is taken in and cooled to a point where water can condense (凝结). Then the water is filtered (过滤), and minerals are added. Ultraviolet light (紫外线) is also used to prevent bacteria forming. Besides, atmospheric water generators depend on something beyond their control: weather. The best performance is in hot and damp climates, and cold and dry environments have been not performing very well. But now indoor conditions of houses are well suited for this solution.Garcia said they have found a way to greatly cut the amount of energy used in the process—150% less—and the average cost of daily water supply fell by more than 80%. “We have dedicated most of our efforts to efficiency,” said Garcia. “We are now aiming to supply everyday families with atmospheric water generators. In the coming months, we plan to expand in European countries such as Spain, France and Germany where bottled-water consumption is high. A following step is to break into the worldwide consumer market.”12．How does author lead in the topic in the first paragraph?A．By drawing a conclusion.B．By sharing an experience.C．By following the time order.D．By offering background information. 13．What do we learn about the new generators?A．They operate better when it is raining.B．They offer household water for free. C．They are mainly targeted at factories.D．They are not environmentally friendly. 14．What is Garcia’s attitude toward the new generators?A．Doubtful.B．Hopeful.C．Disappointed.D．Shocked.15．Which can be the best title for the text?A．Free Access to Fresh Water from the AirB．Principles to Obtain Fresh Water from the AirC．A Device to Hunt for Fresh Water from the AirD．New Ways to Protect Fresh Water from the Air二、七选五Fortunately, there are things you can do to help increase your energy and focus while you’re studying.Study somewhere that’s not too comfortable.

2022-2023学年度第二学期3月份第一次质检考高二级英语科试卷第一部分阅读理解(共两节，满分50分)第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。

AIf you find yourself lonely on Feb.14,it's technically possible to be happy when you have Netflix.Clueless(1995)When it came out in 1995,“Clueless”was a modern movie on the classic Jane Austen novel “Emma.”Today,it's a sad,somewhat retro(怀旧的)story about a high school girl(Alicia Silver stone)who finds joy in bringing together couples around her,while remaining single and particular about who she chooses to date. She soon finds love in an unexpected place.How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days (2003)As a journalist,Andie (Hudson)in the film is assigned a special task where she has to write about her experience trying to make a man fall in love with her,followed by making him want to break up with her. The assignment goes to unexpected places when Ben(McConaughey)enters the picture.The Imitation Game(2014)Strange things happen when people fall in love with machines;it's actually happening with today’s technology. In“The Imitation Game”,which is set in the 1940s,tells the true story of Alan Turing and his team to break the German secret codes to win World War II. Although the film is largely about code breaking efforts,it also delivers on some love,both machine,and human.Frances Ha (2013)Filmed in black and white,“Frances Ha”begins with a bad breakup and is followed by the journey of Frances Halladay(Greta Gerwig)to become a professional dancer. It's a touching adventure with plenty of love along the way.1. What do we do with NetflixA. To find friends.B. To see films.C. To surf the Internet.D. To shop online.2. If you are interested in wars,which film do you think is your favouriteA. Clueless.B. How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days.C. The Imitation Game.D. Frances Ha.3. Whose story do you think is the most inspiring in the passageA. Alicia Silver stone's story.B. Alan Turing's story.C. Andie's story.D. Frances Halladay's story.BAn afternoon nap(午睡)is one of the joys of life,although too much napping could signal all is not well. In some cultures,people will have a daily nap—this is fine. The warning comes when people start sleeping during the daytime,when they did not sleep before. There is certainly a good reason to believe that daytime sleepiness—as in the Alzheimer's disease study—can be a marker of an underlying condition.For most people,napping during the day is mainly a sign that you are not getting enough sleep at night,says Dr. Neill Stanley,a sleep expert.“If yo u feel sleepy during the day,you should think about taking a nap. That is what the body needs —it doesn't need to be kept awake with caffeine. It needs sleep.”The feeling we should notice is“sleepiness”,he says.“It's not tiredness,which could be more psych ological and linked to stress.”So how do you nap well The key thing,says Stanley,is how long your nap lasts. Choose either a 20-or 90-minute nap.“When you fall asleep,you'll quickly go through the lighter stages of sleep into your first period of deep sleep. You don't want to wake up because that's when you wake and feel worse than you didbefore.”Napping for 20 minutes means you will wake up before you go into deep sleep;napping for 90 minutes means you'll complete a sleep cycle.Once you factor in the time it takes to fall asleep—“Some people are better at napping than others but,”says Stanley,“a healthy adult will fall asleep in between 5 and 12 minutes.”—you can set an alarm,allowing a 30-to 40-minute period for a short nap,and up to two hours for a longer one.A good time to nap is during the body's natural dip in the afternoon,between 2 p. m. and 4p. m.“You don't really want to be napping much past that because then you are going to be eating into your night-time sleep,”Stanley says. The point,he stres ses,is to get good night-time sleep,which would ensure you probably don't need to nap at all.4. What does an afternoon nap indicate for most peopleA. Caffeine addiction.B. Psychological stress.C. Insufficient night sleep.D. Potential physical illness.5. What is the key to a good napA. Duration. B . Surroundings.C. Health.D. Stages.6. What does the underlined word“that”in the last paragraph refer toA. A 30-to 40-minute period.B. Between 2 p. m and 4 p. mC. Between 5 and 12 minutes.D. A 20-90-minute period.7. Which of the following can be the best title for the textA. Why to Phase A NapB. When to Take A Good NapC. What to Learn From A NapD. How to Have A Successful Nap2CIn the 17th century,the Netherlands experienced a period of artistic prosperity known as the Dutch Golden Age. During this period,artists found inspiration in Northern Renaissance painting techniques,contributing to masterpieces like Girl with a Pearl Earring by Johannes Vermeer.Known as the“Mona Lisa of the North”,this painting represents the best of Dutch art and it has become one of the most beloved paintings in art history.Dutch artist Johannes Vermeer is famous for his paintings of contemporary Delft,a city in Holland where the artist was born,lived and died. Girl with a Pearl Earring is Vermeer's most well-known work of art. However,it did not attain international fameat its time of completion. That came about at the end of the 20th century,when it was featured in a special exhibition in Washington,D. C.Girl with a Pearl Earring does not show a specific person. Instead,it shows an unknown girl dressed in grand clothing,who is“like a vision coming from the darkness”and“belongs to no specific time or place”,art historian Arthur K. Wheelock explained.Vermeer is known for his ability to create shapes and forms using light rather than lines. This characteristic approach is particularly evident in Girl with a Pearl Earring. First,he would“invent”,or create an initial drawing on the canvas. Then,he made a single colored underpainting(底层色).Next,he added color. And,finally,in order to make the piece extraordinarily bright,he would apply a thin layer of glaze(釉)to certain parts of the painting.In addition to its fascinating context and appealing beauty,the piece is celebrated for the mystery that surrounds it.“When you think about Mona Lisa,she is also looking at us,but she isn't engaging—she’s sitting back in the painting,self-contained,”Tracy Chevalier,the author of The New York Times’best-selling historical novel,Girl with a Pearl Earring,points out.“While the girl with a pearl earring in the painting is right there—there is nothing between her and us. She has this magical quality of being incredibly open and yet mysterious at the same time—and that is what makes her so appeal ing.”8. What inspired the creation of the painting Girl with a Pearl EarringA. The appearance of the girl.B. Vermeer's international fame.C. Previous artists'painting skills.D. Encouragement from other artists.9. What do we know about the painting Girl with a Pearl EarringA. It is set in the artist's birthplace.B. It makes the artist famous overnight.C. It describes a particular and famous girl.D. It is regarded as a match for Mona Lisa.10. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk aboutA. The subject of the painting.B. Techniques used in the painting.C. The historic value of the painting.D. The mystery behind the painting.11. How does Tracy comment on the painting Girl with a Pearl EarringA. By citing a theory.B. By giving a definition.C. By offering an example.D. By making a comparison.3DHave you ever suddenly developed an appetite from a passing glance at a freeway billboard featuring a brightly colored cheeseburger,or decided to step into a candy or ice cream store displaying a window full of lively shades and hues(色调)of sweet treats If so,you are in good company. Unless we are medically restricted or strictly dieting,we are not likely to resist inviting fare simply because we recognize the lack of nutritional value.Devina Wadhera and Elizabech D. Capaldi-Phillips in A Review of Visual Cues Associated with Food recognize the impact of sensory cues(信号)on food consumption and enjoyment,and the potential they have to promote healthy eating behavior. They cite previous research in providing some interesting examples of thevisual impact of different color schemes(方案)on taste and food enjoyment. They note that pink food on a white plate was considered sweeter and more flavorful than the same food on a black plate. Apparently,we consume with more of our senses than we realize. So given the rainbow of colors around us when faced with so many appealing food choices,is there any way to control our appetite Thankfully,some research says yes.Oliver Genschow demonstrated that when it comes to eating less colors impact consumption!They specifically researched the effect of the color red. They found that people ate fewer pretzels when using a red plate,as opposed to white or blue,and drank less from a red cup than a blue cup.They suggest that the color red reduces food and drink intake by functioning as a stop signal.But when it comes to healthy eating,instead of putting on a pair of sunglasses to block the inviting hues of food cues,consider the value of discipline. Healthy eating involves intentional choices,not mindless responses to sensory cues. And before you invest in many red tableware to slim down,remember that what goes onto those plates is much more important.12. What may be a major reason for us to refuse eye-catching foodA. The shortage of nutrition.B. The rich color of fine foods.C. The doctor's instructions.D. Advertisements everywhere.13. What might be dealt with in A Review of Visual Cues Associated with FoodA. Benefits of different color schemes.B. Interesting examples of food service.C. Potentials to promote food consumption.D. Effects of sensory cues on eating behavior.14. What does the author suggest people do in the last paragraphA. Follow the sensory response.B. Make food choices sensibly.C. Wear sunglasses to block colors.D. Avoid colorful food intentionally.15. What is the best title for the textA. How People can Control Their Appetite.B. How People are Tricked by Color Schemes.C. How Colors Impact Food Appeal and Appetite.D. How Bright Colors Make Food More Appealing.第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5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。

American high school students who slept less than seven hours each night during the pan demi were more likely to struggle in school. That finding comes from a recent study from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, or CDC.For the study, the CDC questioned 7,705 students about their sleep schedules and success in school. More than two-thirds of the students said they experienced more difficulty in their schoolwork during the pandemic than before the pandemic. About 75 percent of the students did not sleep enough during the pandemic, the study found Students who reported poor mental health during the pandemic were also more likely to get less sleep Overall, 37 percent of the students said they Struggled with their mental health during the pandemic. But about 50 percent of the students who slept five hours or less each night said they had poor mental health.As students recover from l earning loss due to the pandemic, “schools can consider including policies and practices known to improve sleep duration(持续时间)” the CDC said. Teenagers experience many physical changes when they go through puberty(青春期). A good sleep schedule can improve te st performance. As children get older, there is a change in their body’s natural clock. Before puberty, children may feel sleepy around 8 or 9 at night. But when they become teenagers, the body’s clock changes to make them tied much later around 10 or 11 a t night. Because of this, many teenagers may experience an inability to sleep.Some school systems around the U.S. are pushing back start times for high schools so students can get more sleep. Usually, high schools start the earliest compared to middle and primary schools. The National Center for Education Statistics says the average start time for U.S. high schools is 8 a.m. But the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends a start time of 8:30. The organization Start School Later supports pushing back school start times. It says at least 13, 000 school systems in the United States have pushed back start times.1. What can we know from Paragraph 2?A．The sleep duration can affect mental health.B．Students worked harder during the pandemic.C．Half of the students have mental health problems.D．Two-thirds of the students did not sleep enough in 2020.2. Why do many teenagers have trouble falling asleep?A．The academic stress changes their sleep patterns.B．The bioclock keeps them fresh until late at night.C．They can’t arrange a good sleep schedule on their own.D．They go through many physical changes during puberty.3. What is the last paragraph mainly about?A．When is the best time for students to go to school.B．Why high schools start classes at the earliest time.C．How pushing back school start ties affects school.D．What school systems did to improve students’ sleep.4. Where can the text be found?A．In a school report. B．In a children’s book.C．In a health magazine. D．In a pandemic guide.4. It is predicted that in 2023, a quarter of all new cars purchased in China will be an all-electric vehicle or a plug-in hybrid. By some estimates, more than 300 Chinese companies are making E.V.s, ranging from discount off rings below $5,000 to high-end models that rival American and German automakers. There are roughly five million charging units in the country, with more coming.While other E.V. markets are still heavily dependent on allowances and financial stimulation, China has entered a new phase: Consumers are weigh in e the features and prices of electric vehicles against gas-powered cars without much consideration of state support, it took China more than a decade of allowances, long-term investments and infrastructure (基础设施) spending to lay the foundation for its electric vehicle market to start standing on its own. Of the world ‘stop-10best-selling E.V. brands, half are Chinese. And it’s not just the car sales that are booming in China. The Chinese battery manufacturers are the biggest players in the industry.Mr. Li, a 27-year-old employee at a construction firm who recently decided to trade in his gas-powered car for an E.V., said financial stimulation did not weigh on his decision to go electric. In Chengdu, the big city in southwestern China where Mr. Li lives and works, traditional cars are restricted from being on the road on certain days of the week to help reduce traffic jams and pollution. Electric vehicles, however, are free to come and go. For electric cars, parking is free for the first two hours at public parking lots.1. How does the author develop the first paragraph?A．By listing data. B．By telling stories.C．By analyzing causes. D．By giving a definition.2.

Which is the main reason for Mr. Li’s decision?A．He lives in Chengdu and works at a construction firm.B．The electric vehicle is more convenient for him to use.C．There are financial rewards for buying an electric vehicle.D．The electric vehicle is less expensive than gas-powered cars.4.

Macao is a part of China and most people living there are Chinese.The first Europeans to go to Macao came from Portugal. More than four hundred years ago the Portuguese went there to trade（做生意）with China. Some settled and made their homes there. They built strong forts（城堡）to guard the cityand the harbor（港口）. They also built churches, schools, hospitals and other places. Slowly the city grew. People from many countries came to live and work in Macao.Today many people visit Macao. Some only go there to watch dog-racing or motor-rac ing or to “gamble ”with their money, whether they lose or win. But Macao is a quiet and peaceful place. It is pleasant just to walk around and look at the old buildings and forts. You feel you are back in the old days. Of course, some of the buildings are now in ruins（毁坏）. The Church of St. Paul has only the front wall with many steps leading up to it. But it is still interesting to see. When you are hot and tired, there are small cool gardens to rest in. When you are hungry, there are good restaurants with many kinds of food. Nearby are some islands, which are also nice to visit and are easy to get to. There is certainly a lot to see and to do in Macao.1．（小题1）Which of the following is NOT true?A．Portuguese were the first to go to Macao.B．Some Portuguese settled in Macao and made their homes nearly a century ago.C．The city Macao grew slowly.D．People there put up strong forts to defend the city.2．（小题2）You feel in Macao you are back in the old days because _____.A．some of the buildings are now in ruinsB．you can watch dog-racing or motor-racingC．you go about and look at the old buildings and forts with pleasureD．it’ s a peaceful place.3．（小题3）The word “gamble” in the third paragraph is closest in meaning to “_____”.A．watch dog-racingB．watch horse-racingC．watch motor-racingD．play games of chance for money4．（小题4）Where will you have a break when you feel tired?A．In good restaurants.B．In small cool gardens.C．On some islands.D．In beautiful parks.5．（小题5）What does the writer most want to tell us?A．People from many countries came to live and work in Macao.B．Portuguese were willing to do business in China.C．People in Macao serve good food.D．Macao is a quiet and peaceful place with a lot to see and to do.B14、People, especially English people, lo ve talking about the weather. It’s an easy way to start a conversation. But do you know some weather terms can also express a feeling or situation. Here are some interesting expressions.Head in the cloudsIf someone has his head in the clouds, they are out of touch with the everyday world and can be unrealistic as a result.The expression reminds you to be aware of what’s happening around you.Take a rain checkIf you hear someone say “I’ll take a rain check”, it doesn’t mean that he will go out to see if it’s raining.In fact, the expression could be used as a polite way to turn down invitations. However, not as a full refusal, but more likely to put the invitation off to another time.When it rains, it poursThe expression is used when something goes wrong, especially when a lot of things go wrong at the same time. People like to say it when they meet with bad lucks one after another in a short time.Weather the stormAs an extreme weather, a storm could be very dangerous and cause serious results. To weather the storm is to get through difficult situations in your life.1．Why do English people love talking about the weather in the writer’s opinion?A．They care about the weather very much.B．They want to know what’s happening around them.C．They don’t have other interesting things to talk about.D．They think it’s an easy way to start a conversation.2．What does the underlined phrase “turn down” mean?A．accept B．refuse C．throw D．change3．Which of the following statements is true?A．The whole article is telling us how to tell the weather.B．The writer thinks if someone has his head in the clouds, the person must care about what’s happening very much.

Some of them even lose their lives for it. Money does have its most useful effect(影响) on the poor, but once a person has a rich life, a lot more money doesn’t me an more happiness.If money was everything, all millionaires(百万富翁) would have true love, true friendship, good health and a long life. However, this is not always true.Nothing else is more pleasant than the three words which are “I love you”. But can love be bought? I’m afraid not. Love means to give, not to take. To every person, health and long life are probably the most precious(宝贵的) things. Well, can health and a long life be bought with money? The answer is “No”.Of all the longest living people in th e world, few of them are millionaires. True friendship can’t be bought either. In a word, where money is worshiped(崇拜), money can cause brothers to quarrel, lovers to hate, strangers to fight and so on. No matter how much money you have, it is still not enough to make you a happy person if you have not one to laugh with, no one to cry for.1．According to the passage, which of the following do you think is right?A．Money is everything.
