（4分）我在那幅《寒江独钓图》前伫立良久，沃雪千里，地老天荒，只有一只孤影，一叶篷舟……想起明人胡应麟所说，“独钓寒江雪，五字极闹”，这个“闹”字很刁，一下子就点化了柳公《江雪》一诗中昂扬的活力。

我钦佩胡应麟，他分明是将柳宗元心底的世界，玩味透彻了。

原来，画中的枯寂，不过是一种表象。

那恍若轻绸的溪泉正在冰雪下面漾动，诱人的芭蕉正在雪天里挺立，而渚上的小舟，亦正在无声中悠然地划行。

或许只有雪天的凄冷空旷，方能凸显生命的温热充实。

那片苍茫空阔，并非一无所有，而是国画中的留白。

2022-2023学年江苏省南通市高三（第1次）模拟考试英语试卷AStarting to write short stories: An online workshop with Stuart EversIt is a common misconception that writing a short story is easier than crafting(构思) a longer form piece of fiction. Though they have fewer words, as a writer you have less time and space on the page to both capture the imagination of your readers and craft a journey for your characters that has a beginning, middle and end.In this highly practical workshop with award-winning writer Stuart Evers, you will know about the fundamentals of the short story writing—from building tension to creating a current of events that invites interest—for constructing a story that has the emotional heft of a novel, as well as breathing life into characters that are authentic and full.Regardless of your skillset or experience, under Stuart's expert guidance, you will take the first crucial steps in short storytelling so that you will have a newfound confidence in your ability to continue crafting short stories, far beyond the course. Course content:What makes a short story?How to generate ideas for short storiesHow to turn something from a situation into a storyWriting techniques that can be put into practice instantlyPost-class learning material that includes short story reading listCourse Details:Tuesday, 28 February 2023, 6pm-9pm GMT£80 plus £4.25 booking feeA catch-up recording will be shared after the class and will be available for two weeks.This masterclass is available globally. If you are joining us from outside the United Kingdom, you will be sent a link to the workshop 24 hours and 30 minutes before the start time.1. What does the workshop with Stuart Evers focus on?A. Adding more words in a limited time and space.B. Developing essential short story writing skills.C. Planning a complete journey with the readers.D. Distinguishing between a short story and a novel.2. What is said about Stuart's masterclass?A. It is demanding but rewarding.B. It will be replayed in two months.C. It will be free to foreigners online.D. It is practical and confidence-building.3. Where is the text probably taken from?A. A short story.B. A livestream website.C. An academic article.D. An examination paper.BIt is an unpleasant extinction that will change the world and how people communicate: within 20 years, two thirds of all the planet's languages will be dead. Experts agree that nothing can stop it happening but one academic is trying her hardest to slow it down. Professor Antonella Sorace is one of a growing number who believe learning a second language has enormous untapped benefits for the human brain. This is true not only for young children but also for adults and people at risk from dementia (痴呆), where research consistently shows that learning a new language could delay the start of the disease for four to five years—a better result than with any medication to date.It is those benefits of bilingualism (双语) that should encourage us to preserve and protect Europe's minority languages—Gaelic, Manx, Cornish and Ulster Scots, she says.Already her work and the project she founded three years ago in Edinburgh, Bilingualism Matters—now expanding across Europe and in the US—have convinced the Scottish government to introduce languages to primary schools. From 2023 all Scottish children will be learning a language other than English in their first year at school, with two other languages to be introduced later.Bilingualism Matters is also working to encourage businesses to consider the benefits of their staff learning languages. "In business, people say 'English is the language of business, why would I need to learn another language?'" said Sorace. "Maybe it would mean you could do better business."Just as disappearing forests take with them secrets of undiscovered medicines, disappearing languages can take the key to a longer and better quality of life. The first battle is to unpick the popular assumption that bilingualism might damagechildren's brains. There were even suggestions it could encourage schizophrenia (精神分裂症).Study after study has shown the opposite to be true, says Sorace. "These prejudices are deeply rooted, but we are perhaps halfway to persuading people that the brain can cope. Then we have to persuade people that it is actually of benefit."4. What will happen to the majority of the world's languages?A. They will become extinct in decades.B. They will be learnt by more academics.C. They will prevent the risk of dementia.D. They will help people better communicate.5. What's Bilingualism Matters intended to do?A. Find a replacement for English.B. Teach businesses marketing skills.C. Promote minority language learning.D. Influence governments' policy making.6. What's the top priority in preserving minority languages?A. Getting rid of people's fear for mental illnesses.B. Finding the key to promoting people's welfare.C. Unlocking the secrets of undiscovered medicines.D. Correcting the misconception about Bilingualism.7. Which can be the best title for the text?A. The benefits of Bilingualism.B. The founding of Bilingualism Matters.C. A new challenge facing language teaching.D. A professor fighting to save minority languages.CThere is such a thing as a free lunch, it turns out, as long as you don't mind too much what it is. Tamara Wilson found hers a few streets away from her west London home—and as well as picking up some unwanted bread and fruit that would otherwise be thrown away, she made a new friend.Wilson is one of 3.4 million people around the world using an app designed to encourage people to give away rather than throw away surplus (剩余的) food. "It's such a small thing, but it makes me feel good and my neighbour feel good. And a lot of small acts can end up making a big difference," she said.The last few years have seen an explosion in creative ways to tackle food waste by linking supermarkets, cafes, restaurants and individual households to local communities. Olio, the app used by Wilson, saw a fivefold increase in listings during 2022, and the signs are that this rapid growth is continuing into 2023, said Tessa Clarke, its CEO and co-founder.About a third of all food produced globally is wasted, according to the UN's Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO). Almost 1.4 billion hectares of land—close to 30% of the world's agricultural land—is dedicated to producing food that is never eaten, and the carbon footprint of food wastage makes it the third contributor of CO2. Reducing food waste is one of the most effective ways of tackling the global climate crisis.Olio, Clarke said, was an attempt to change this on a small, local scale. "The app connects people with others who have surplus food but don't have anyone to give it to because so many people are disconnected from their communities." Users of Olio post images of surplus food that others in the neighbourhood might want. Olio also has a network of 24,000 volunteers who collect surplus food from local supermarkets and stores for app users to claim.Despite the success of the app, it was hard to make a difference to the huge scale of food waste, Clarke added. "Even though we're doing well, we've only scratched the surface (触及表面). But if everyone makes small changes in the world, we'd dramatically reduce the amount of food that ends up in bins (垃圾桶)."8. What does the author want to show by telling Wilson's story?A. People tend to use apps to order food.B. People prefer to make friends on apps.C. People find a high-tech fix to food waste.D. People show more concern for each other.9. What's the consequence of food waste according to the text?A. Global warming.B. Loss of land.C. World hunger.D. Poverty and inequality.10. What does Olio do to help tackle food waste？A. It sells surplus food to those in need.B. It allows volunteers to slay connected.C. It provides a platform for people to promote food.D. It fills the information gap between green communities.11. What does Clarke think of the work on reducing food waste globally?A. It is a great success.B. It requires joint efforts.C. It is beyond human power.D. It has won public support.DWhile the benefits of Zoom and other videoconferencing tools made them absolutely essential in the pandemic (疫情), the research suggests that heavy reliance on the technology comes at a cost to creative thinking.Brucks at Columbia University and her team started their investigation when managers reported having trouble innovating with remote workers. Brucks doubted whether videoconferencing was a factor, suspecting that difficulties coordinating (协调) large, global teams online might be to blame instead.To find out, the researchers analysed ideas for new products generated by 1,490 engineers for a multinational company. The engineers, who were in Finland, Hungary, India, Israel and Portugal, were randomly paired up and given an hour or so to brainstorm products either in person or over videoconferencing. They then selected their best idea.Writing in Nature, the researchers report that the engineers produced more ideas, and more innovative ideas, when working face to face. "They are not only generating a larger number of creative ideas, but their best idea is better," Brucks said. Virtual teams were just as good at selecting the best ideas from a bunch as those that met in person."Visual focus is a huge component of cognitive (认知) focus. When you're focused on the screen and ignoring the rest of the environment, that affects how you approach the task," said Brucks. "It's uniquely bad for creativity because it's inhibiting broader exploration."Brucks said the impact on the real world "could be huge", leading to a division of labour between face-to-face and virtual meetings that could "permanently reshape the office and work schedules". But she urged businesses to be cautious, because if virtual meetings are cheaper than in-person ones, they may still be morecost-effective.Asked for tips, Brucks said people could save more creative tasks for in-person meetings, or turn off their camera when coming up with ideas. "I think it unlocks more creative thinking," she said.12. Why did Brucks conduct the research?A. To prove her assumption.B. To clarify a new concept.C. To make a comparison.D. To explain a rule.13. What is the finding of the research?A. Face-to-face gatherings promote cross-culture ties.B. Workers think less creatively in virtual meetings.C. Individual work generates more innovative ideas.D. Videoconferencing has an irreplaceable role.14. What does the underlined word "inhibiting" in paragraph 5 mean?A. Encouraging.B. Requiring.C. Beginning.D. Preventing.15. What does Brucks say about virtual meetings?A. They should be used accordingly.B. They'll make office workers divided.C. They'll give way to in-person meetings.D. They help businesses run more efficiently.People have tried everything to get more sleep. But unlike almost every other area of life, effort is not rewarded. (1)The more you try, the less you are likely to succeed. Here are some ways to improve your sleep that might just work.(2) There is nothing you can do between now and bedtime to guarantee that you will sleep tonight. There is, however, plenty you can start doing to improve your chances of sleeping well next month. So instead of worrying about the night ahead, make sleeping well a long-term goal and expect to see progress in a few weeks rather than tomorrow.Have a late night. Adults need to be awake for at least 16 hours to generate enough sleep-drive to sleep for eight hours at night. Having an early night can mean you won't be sleepy enough to fall asleep quickly and easily. Don't pay too much attention to the exact times or he hours of sleep you are getting—the details don't matter. And don't take naps(小睡) in the day. (3)Smile more. Smiling can reduce tension and promote relaxation. As you turn the light out at night, try to think of something funny and smile lo yourself in the dark. (4)Even a fake smile is enough to send a message to the brain to change your mood and retrain the brain to be comfortable with being awake, thus reducing tension and allowing sleep to follow.Stop reading articles about sleep. None of the researching, monitoring or analyzing actually leads to better sleep. In fact, constantly looking for a solution is undoubtedly making things worse. (5) Make this the last article you read on the subject, then go and find something more interesting to think about.A. Try to stay awake at night.B. In fact, it is actively punished.C. Give up trying to sleep tonight.D. So give sleep less of your attention.E. They take the edge off your appetite for sleep.F. It doesn't have to be a genuine, heartfelt smile.G. You have to do things differently to get a different outcome.16. A. A B. B C. C D. D E. EF. FG. G17. A. A B. B C. C D. D E. EF. FG. G18. A. A B. B C. C D. D E. EF. FG. G19. A. A B. B C. C D. D E. EF.

Home to the headwaters of the Yangtze, Yellow and Lancang rivers, the San jiang yuan area on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (青藏高原) is known as "China's water tower". It is a (1) (whole) unique plateau wetland ecosystem and serves as (2) important ecological defense for the country. Decades ago, serious environmental degradation (恶化) in San jiang yuan, (3) was caused by climate change and human activities, resulted in a large number of lakes drying out and wildlife numbers falling sharply.In 2016, the pilot program for the San jiang yuan National Park management system (4) (launch).

But early horses weren’t tame (驯服的) enough to perform these kinds of tasks. Scientists think the first interactions humans had with horses were far different from those today.Thousands of years ago, people killed the wild horses that lived around them for food. Over time, people began to catch the animals and raise them. This was the first step in domestication. As people began to tame and ride horses, they chose to keep those animals that had more desirable characteristics. For example, people may have chosen to keep horses that had a gentle personality so they could be ridden more easily. People who used horses to pull heavy loads would have chosen to keep stronger animals. Characteristics like strength are partly controlled by the animals’ genes. So as the domesticated horses reproduced, they passed the characteristics on to their young. Each new generation of houses would show more of these chosen characteristics. Modern day horse breeds come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes. This variety didn’t exist in the horse population before domestication. The Shetland horse is one of the smallest breeds—typically reaching only one meter tall. With short, strong legs, the animals were bred to pull coal out of mine shafts (矿井) with low ceilings. Huge horses like the Clydesdale came on the scene around 1700. People bred these heavy, tall horses to pull large vehicles used for carrying heavy loads.The domestication of horses has had great effects on societies. For example, horse were important tools in the advancement of modern agriculture. Using them to pull ploughs and carry heavy loads allowed people to farm more efficiently. Before they were able to ride horses, humans had to cross land on foot. Riding horses allowed people to travel far greater distance in much less time. That encouraged populations living in different areas to interact with one another. The new from of rapid transportation helped cultures spread around the world.( )4. Before domestication horses were ______.A. caught for sportsB. hunted for foodC. made to pull ploughsD. used to carry people( )5. The author uses the Shetland horse as an example to show ______.A. it is smaller than the Clydesdale horseB. horse used to have gentle personalitiesC. some horses have better shaped than othersD. horses were of less variety before domestication( )6. Horses contributed to the spread of culture by ______.A. carrying heavy loadsB. changing farming methodsC. serving as a means of transportD. advancing agriculture in different areas ( )7. The passage is mainly about _______.A. why humans domesticated horsesB. how humans and horses needed each otherC. why horses came in different shapes and sizesD. how human societies and horses influenced each other(C)More than 10 years ago, it was difficult to buy a tasty pineapple (菠萝). The fruits that made it to the UK were green on the outside and, more often than not, hard with an unpleasant taste within. Then in 1966, the Del Monte Gold pineapple produced in Hawaii first hit our shelves.The new type of pineapple looked more yellowy-gold than green. It was slightly softer on the outside and had a lot of juice inside. But the most important thing about this new type of pineapple was that it was twice as sweet as the hit-and-miss pineapples we had known. In no time, the Del Monte Gold took the mar ket by storm, rapidly becoming the world’s best-selling pineapple variety, and delivering natural levels of sweetness in the mouth, up until then only found in tinned pineapple.In nutrition (营养) it was all good news too. This nice tasting pineapple contained four times more vitamin C(维生素C) than the old green variety. Nutritionists said that it was not only full of vitamins, but also good against some diseases. People were understandably eager to be able to buy this wonderful fruit. The new type of pineapple was selling fast, and the Del Monte Gold pineapple rapidly became a fixture in the shopping basket of the healthy eater.Seeing the growing market for its winning pineapple, Del Monte tried to keep market to itself. But other fruit companies developed similar pineapples. Del Monte turned to law for help, but failed. Those companies argued successfully that Del Monte’s attempts to keep the golden pineapple for itself were just a way to knock them out the market.( )8. We learn from the text that the new type at pineapple is __________.A. green outside and sweet insideB. good-looking outside and soft insideC. yellowy-gold outside and hard insideD. a little soft outside and sweet inside ( )9. Why was the new type of pineapple selling well?A. It was rich in nutrition and tasted nice.B. It was less sweet and good for health.C. It was developed by Del Monte.D. It was used as medicine.( )10. The underlined word “fixture” in Paragraph 3 probably refers to something _________.A. that people enjoy eatingB. that is always presentC. that is difficult to getD. that people use as a gift( )11. We learn from the last paragraph that Del Monte _________.A. slowed other companies to develop pineapplesB. succeeded in keeping the pineapple for itselfC. tried hard to control the pineapple marketD. planned to help the other companies(D)Most people, when they travel to space, would like to stay in orbit for a few days of more. And this stands to reason, if you’re paying $20,000 for your trip to orbit! Strain order for tourism to reach its full potential there’s going to be a need for orbital accommodation--or space hotels. What would a space hotel actually be like tovisit? Hotels in orbit will offer the services you expect from a hotel--private rooms, meals, bars. But they’ll also offer two unique experiences: impressive views--of Earth and space--and the endless entertainment ofliving in zero gravity--including sports and other activities that make use of this.The hotels themselves will vary greatly---from being quite simple in the early days to huge luxury structure at a later date. It’s actually surprising that as later as 1997, very few designs for space hotels were published. This is mainly because those who might be expected to design them haven’t expected launch costs to come down far enough to make them possible.Lots of people who’ve been to space have described vividly what it’s like to live in zero gravity. There are obviously all sort of possibilities for dancing, gymnastics, and zero-G sports.

2025届江苏省南通市崇川区高三上学期第一次调研考试英语试题一、阅读理解Eiffel Tower Tour by the LiftStanding tall at 1,063 feet, the Eiffel Tower is an iconic landmark in Paris. Being a popular tourist destination, thousands of people come to explore the beauty of the Eiffel Tower every day.The day of your visitEach e - ticket bears the name of its owner. Remember to bring ID for all of your group, including children. We may ask to see your ID, as well as any supporting documents for reduced rates （disability registration）.Make sure you check the time on your e - ticket. This is the time when you need to be on the esplanade, in a queue for “visitors with tickets”. We recommend arriving 15 minutes in advance so that you have time to make it through the security checks at the entrance.Eiffel tower ticket pricesCarry minimal belongingsThe Eiffel Tower does not have a locker room, so you will have to carry your belongings with you during the entirety of your visit. When you are caught in awe, it’s easy for eagle-eyed opportunists to do their tricks. Be mindful and carry minimal belongings such as your wallet,tickets, ID proof, and a water bottle. There is no left-luggage facility for non-permitted items, like wheeled suitcases, large luggage, non-folding buggies (童车) at the Eiffel Tower.1．Which of the following may not be shown on the e- ticket?A．The visitor’s name.B．The visiting time.C．The reduced rate.D．The ticket price.2．What’s the charge for a couple with twins aged 8 who take the lift to the top?A．42.30€.B．47.00€.C．66.20€.D．73.60€.3．What should you know when visiting the Eiffel Tower?A．Caution can help avoid theft.B．Drinks can’t be taken in the lift.C．Your bag can be kept in a locker.D．Folding buggies are not allowed.As the first African American woman to receive a medical degree in America, Dr. Rebecca Lee Crumpler challenged the prejudice that prevented African Americans and women from following medical careers.Born in 1831 in Christiana, Delaware, Crumpler spent her childhood in Pennsylvania with an aunt, who frequently cared for sick neighbors, and Crumpler went with her on these trips. In her book published in 1883, Crumpler wrote, “Having been raised by a kind aunt, whose usefulness to the sick was continually sought, I early developed a liking for medicine, and sought every opportunity to be in a position to relieve the sufferings of others.”In 1852, Crumpler moved to Charlestown, Massachusetts, to begin her medical career as a nurse. In the early 1850s, there was no formal school where one could become licensed to practice nursing. Even so, Crumpler assisted several doctors in Boston for eight years. They in turn supported her application to the New England Female Medical College, where she was awarded a state- funded scholarship.Crumpler worked hard at her studies but had to take a leave of absence after two years to attend to her sick husband, who unfortunately passed away in 1863. Months later, Crumpler returned to complete her final term but was nearly refused after some faculty members (教员) expressed worry regarding the amount of time it was taking her to complete her coursework andwere hesitant to let her come back. Luckily, with several of the school’s sponsors supporting her, Crumpler finally received a “Doctress of Medicine” from college, and began seeing patients in and around her house, treating them regardless of their ability to pay.In 1883, Dr. Crumpler published a book based on journal notes she kept during her years of practice. A Book of Medical Discourses, specifically aimed at women and the care of their children, is believed to be the first medical text written by an African American author. Scientific American describes it as the forerunner of the famous What to Expect When You’ re Expecting (1984). 4．What inspired Crumpler to take up medicine?A．The influence of her aunt.B．The desire to help the poor.C．Her family’s encouragement.D．The doctors’ financial support.5．Which of the following can best describe Crumpler?A．Humorous and easygoing.B．Caring and determined.C．Adventurous and sensitive.D．Optimistic and honest.6．Why did some teachers attempt to reject Crumpler’s returning to school?A．Her family couldn’t afford her education.B．She failed to follow the school regulations.C．They felt negative about her determination.D．They doubted her ability to finish her study.7．What do people think of Crumpler’s book according to the last paragraph?A．Inspiring but unrealistic.B．Accessible and interesting.C．Educational but complicated.D．Groundbreaking and practical.The estimated number of monarch butterflies migrating (迁徙) to Mexico for winter has reached its second - lowest level ever for the 2023 to 2024 overwintering season. The estimate, based on the size of the butterflies’ hibernating forest area, has dropped by about 59% from the previous year, according to officials.Experts are pointing to extensive heat and drought as well as climate change for the major decline. Now monarch butterflies face three primary threats, including habitat loss for their breeding and overwintering; the use of pesticides, which can be toxic (有毒的) to the butterflies or can kill their food source, milkweed; and climate change, which can shift their migratory patterns. By the 2022 to 2023 overwintering season, World Wildlife Fund reported a 22% drop in theamount of overwintering monarch butterflies in Mexico.According to WWF, monarch butterflies once covered about 45 acres of forested land in Mexico during their 1996 to 1997 overwintering season. Last year, they covered 5.5 acres. With the 59% decline, the 2023 overwintering season saw the butterflies covering just 2.2 acres, The Associated Press reported. The lowest coverage ever recorded was 1.65 acres from 2013 to 2014. The largest amount of butterflies observed for the current overwintering season were around the Monarch Butterfly Biosphere Reserve.“This is not the first time we’ve observed changes in the locations of the largest monarch colonies,” Jorge Rickards, general director of WWF Mexico, said in a statement. “It’s telling us that we need to strengthen conservation and restoration measures not only in the Monarch Butterfly Biosphere Reserve, but also outside of it.” According to the Center for Biological Diversity, monarch butterflies have declined by 85% in the past 20 years. The eastern monarch butterflies migrate from Canada and the U. S. to Mexico for overwintering. Western monarchs, which overwinter in California, have declined 99% in the past two decades.In 2020, the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service noted that these butterflies do warrant protections under the Endangered Species Act, but there were higher-priority species to consider for listing. Biologist Ryan Drum, who works with the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service, told The Associated Press that the latest count would be considered this year when officials consider whether to list migratory monarch butterflies as threatened or even endangered.8．What can we learn from the first two paragraphs?A．More butterflies are migrating to Mexico.B．The number of butterflies is getting larger.C．The size of forest area is decreasing faster.D．Monarch butterflies are facing survival crisis.9．How does the author show us the gravity of the problem concerning monarch butterflies?A．By listing concrete numbers.B．By describing typical scenes.C．By interviewing some scientists.D．By making reasonable predictions.10．What does Jorge Rickards suggest people do?A．Increase the number of the butterfly reserves.B．Observe the changing number of the butterflies.C．Take more actions to protect the butterflies.D．Distinguish eastern butterflies from western ones.11．What does the underlined word “warrant” mean in the last paragraph?A．Resist.B．Need.C．Support.D．Provide.A modern problem of the outdoor lifestyle is how to keep your devices powered. Battery packs are one option, but they have limited use and can be rather heavy. The team at Aurea Technologies has come to the rescue with the Shine Turbine, a lightweight wind-powered turbine (涡轮机) that offers renewable energy to outdoor enthusiasts who need to re charge electronic devices.Last year, the Shine Turbine launched a campaign that was fully funded in a matter of hours, highlighting the level of interest in this innovative product. Designed in Nova Scotia, Canada, the turbine weighs in at just three pounds and is about the size of a water bottle for easy pack-and-go accessibility. While out backpacking or working remotely, the Shine Turbine takes just a few minutes to set up. There are no loose pieces to worry about losing while you f old out the high-efficiency blades and place the turbine on the retractable stand (可伸缩支架). Everything you need is stored inside the container.This clean energy option also has battery storage, so you can charge your devices as the wind blows. Then you can take it with you for more charging later. It can also be pre - charged before you head out using a standard wall outlet.“Wind is the second-largest producer of clean energy in the world, yet most people don’t have direct access to it. As a team of outdoor enthusiasts with backgrounds in science and engineering, we set out to create a wind power product that gives users the freedom to produce their own clean energy day or night, rain, cloud, or shine,” said Cat Adalay, CEO and founder of Aurea Technologies.The portable design makes it convenient to use for day trip s to the beach or mountains, camping trips or as an emergency backup. “To live sustainably (可持续地), we need to rethink the ways in which we create and use energy,” added Adalay. “The simplicity of our design,two-minute setup, and ability to rapidly generate and store power, does just that. It’s a game-changer in allowing people to access wind energy in the wind.”12．What can we learn about the Shine Turbine from the text?A．It is intelligent and works efficiently.B．It is user- friendly but expensive to buy.C．It is sustainable and convenient to carry.D．It is cost- effective but breaks down easily. 13．What kind of people might need the Shine Turbine most according to the text?A．Emergency rescuers.B．Sea surfboarders.C．Rock- climbing lovers.D．Geological explorers.14．Why do the researchers create the Shine Turbine?A．Their product obtains financial support.B．They want to gain direct access to wind.C．They attempt to prevent global warming.D．Their desired life promotes green rethink. 15．Which of the following is the best title for the text?A．Wind: the world’s second clean energy.B．Aurea Technologies: innovative pioneers C．The Shine Turbine: a green power product D．Outdoor lovers: environmentcampaignersGetting information out of a teenage boy can be difficult. The communication at this age features short answers to every question, a complete lack of eye contact. 16 Here are some ways for parents and other caregivers to learn how to talk to boys about their mental health.Many male teens don’t often show as much emotion or even give as many clues through body language. This requires parents and care providers to be much more attentive to facial expressions, and to the few words that they say. As parents, you need to talk less and listen more. Active listening will help earn his trust. 1718 Negative messages such as “Grow up.” or “Be a man.” send a message that being weak is wrong or that it’s not okay to feel what they are feeling. These types of messages keep boys from sharing their feelings.As a parent, a good way for any kind of personal or emotional question is to ask twice, but not too many times. The first time lets him know that you are interested; the second time shows that you care. 19 The bonds between parents and teenagers are proven to reduce anxiety and depression.Moreover, when a teen boy is willing to communicate, don’t interrupt. If you don’t let him finish talking, he may stop talking altogether. 20 When he’s ready to listen to you, let him know you will be with him together.A．Frank communication requires acceptance.B．Over time, he will be more likely to open up.C．Even if what you’ re hearing is scary, stay calm.D．Their eyes roll when you ask them about their life.E．Parents need to know more about male mental health.F．Communication is effective in the process of exercising.G．Showing concern and respect for personal space allows close ties.二、完形填空Last week I attended my aunt’s funeral (葬礼).
