She lives on the other side of the world, and I went to visit her, not wanting to leave and feeling like I was leaving home against my will. However, I wanted to show her my support because she is my only sister.So I boarded the plane in mid-August, and hated the long flight. I arrived, tired and hungry. I had left my husband of 2 years, alone, in our old New Orleans house.I was all set and ready to perform for my sister for the music festival on Sunday morning when I received a call from Chicago. The hurricane was predicted to hit our city, and many people had already evacuated, but my husband chose to stay behind. He could not get a call to me on the other side of the world, but he could call his cousin in Chicago. He gave his cousin a message for me, that he would be just fine, and not to worry.As the day wore on, I finally took the stage in front of hundreds of Europeans, and I realized, thanks to CNN, that New Orleans was under water.I performed, hoping that my husband would survive. And I performed perfectly. The audience stood and applauded. I left the stage and went straight to the TV. I saw the street sign near my home, of Humanity Street, but nothing below it, except water.In the days that followed, I found out that my house, my car, my clothes, my fur niture, everything that I’d left behind was gone…but not my husband. He survived by riding on the rear bumper（后保险杠）of a VW bus, holding on to the overhead luggage rack, in the pouring rain, down the highway from New Orleans, half-way to Baton Rouge. The rest of the journey was a long walk, but he survived.By the first week of September, I flew back to the Baton Rouge airport, and hugged my husband. Since then, our relationship has grown deeper; we have completely rebuilt our house, bought a new car, bought new furniture and new clothes and joined an inspirational, spirit-filled community.5. Why did the author leave home?A. To look after her sister.B. To attend a music festival.C. To watch a performance.D. To visit her husband’s cousin.6. How did the author feel when she left home?A. Disappointed.B. Worried.C. Tired.D. Unwilling.7. What does the underlined word “evacuated” mean?A. Gathered.B. Struggled.C. Escaped.D. Hid.8. What might be the title for the passage?A. Lost it All, Gained Even More.B. Once Gone, Never Returned.C. Caught in the Hurricane.D. Trapped in a Dilemma.CPeople do not like being separated from their mobile phones, even while enjoying a restful holiday at the beach. However, the phone battery may become exhausted completely. If that happens, they have no choice but to connect the phone to the power supply. But it’s i mpossible to get the battery charged at the beach. What’s worse, the hot sun is shining right overhead, and the water in the bottle is sure to reach a very high temperature.Antoine Sayah, a university student from Lebanon, developed a special beach mat called the Beachill. It looks similar to the ordinary beach mat and will cause back pain as well. However, the device can recharge any mobile phone. It is designed to be water-resistant (防水的) and has a 5-watt solar panel, which provides power continuously. The mat also has the refrigeration equipment that can help keep drinks cool, just like the refrigerator.Antoine Sayah began selling the Beachill on the Internet for $150. He says he has been surprised at the reaction worldwide. “I have got orders for the device from Brazil, Toronto, all over Europe, especially France, America, from all continents.” The Beachill is also gaining popularity in other places, like swimming pools and boats.Some people like the mat because it is lightweight and easy-to-carry. Rita Mathieu bought one of the Beachills. “When I am on the beach, I used to look around for a charger and never managed to find any and the water never stays cool,” she says. “So this kin d of beach mat is wonderful and has everything in it, even a pocket where I can put a book. Thanks to it, I can surf the Internet and keep in touch with friends at any time at the beach.”9. The opening paragraph is mainly intended to ______.A. show great pity for people at the beachB. attract the readers’ interest in the subjectC. provide some key facts about mobile phonesD. prove the importance of water in hot weather10. What can we learn about the Beachill?A. It is quite unusual in appearance.B. It will stop working in the water.C. It has some function of the refrigerator.D. It functions more effectively than ordinary ones.11. Rita Mathieu is mentioned to prove the Beachill’s _______.A. popularityB. convenienceC. good qualityD. low price12. The text is written to _______.A. tell people a new way to get a cold drinkB. ask people to stop using phones at the beachC. encourage people to travel around the worldD. introduce a beach mat that can charge a phoneDRobots and humans will soon be living in harmony(和睦).A singing robot is being taught to create jazz with a human in a project.Antonio Chella from Italy is working with a Telenoid robot. To start with, theTelenoid will be trained to follow the movements and simple sounds made by a human singer, and to connect music with different emotional states. Chella then plans to see if the robot can use these connections to create music.Intelligence is often regarded as the ability to find connections between the existing things. But Chella suggests that a conscious creature should be able to go a step further and introduce new connections that result in the creation of something new.Some jazz musicians say that they should have a mental library of musical phrases so that they are able to combine them in new ways. More importantly, however, this combination happens in a state that is similar in a sense to dreaming. Chella wants to copy these states in a machine.“This work raises interesting questions about the link between consciousness and music making,” says Philippe Pasquier, a musician and computer scientist. But he is skeptical about whether a robot musician needs a physical body.Pasquier argues that the robots are faced with two challenges. Software that can copy Bach has already been developed. But interpretation（演绎）includes human’s different tastes and judgments. “What made the Beatles famous was not so much their works, but the fact that the interpretations of the works were wonderful,” he says.It is not yet clear how a robot would go about interpreting music in a new way. But by copying humans and then learning to sing, Chella’s robot could provide clues.What seems to be important is that human composers often listen to lots of music made by others. So Chella’s robot had better listen to those jazz standards first.13. Which of the following is the robot’s first step before it tries to create jazz?A. Living with human beings in harmony.B. Connecting actions with human’s emotions.C. Copying a human singer’s movements and sound s.D. Learning to communicate with human beings freely.14. What can we know about the robots like Telenoid from the text?A. They are household robots.B. They can talk with researchers.C. They are faced with two challenges.D. They will become human singers.15. What can be concluded from the text?A. Chella’s robot needs a physical body to make music.B. How to interpret jazz is a piece of cake for Chella’s robot.C. A new kind of software should be developed to copy Bach.D. Chella’s robot should listen to much jazz to create something new.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。

People chose the chrysanthemum as their Flower for October, a symbol of the rest and ease that followed the season’s final harvest. Then they symbolized a scholar in retirement (隐居) and were one of the four noble plants, along with bamboo, the plum flower, and orchid.The Japanese hold the chrysanthemum as a symbol of the sun. They consider the orderly unfolding of its petals to be a symbol of perfection. They also think that a single chrysanthemum petal placed in the bottom of a wine glass encourages a long and healthy life. The Japanese even have a National Chrysanthemum Day on September 9, known as the Festival of Happiness.In the United States during colonial times, its popularity grew su ch that mums now reign as “Queen of the Fall Flowers.” Mums remain the most widely grown pot plant in the country and the largest commercially produced flowers. Chrysanthemums generally represent cheerfulness and rest. So they are welcomed throughout the British Isles and North America for any occasion, such as football games and parties. In other countries such as Italy, Belgium and Austria, however, their association with the dead makes chrysanthemums acceptable only for funerals and graves.9. Why did people in ancient China choose the chrysanthemum as their Flower for October,a symbol of ________?A. having a month of celebration.B. havin g relaxation after one year’s of hard work.C. lov ing this kind of flower during this month. .D. having another good harvest the next year.10.

In some European countries people use chrysanthemums to express their feelingof _______.A. regretB. coldC. sorrowD. approvalDIf you do not use your arms or your legs for some time, they become weak; when you start using them again, they slowly become strong again. Everybody knows that. Yet many people do not seem to know that memory (记忆力) works in the same way.When someone says that he has a good memory, he really means that he keeps his memory in practice by using it. When someone else says that his memory is poor, he really means that he does not give it enough chance to become strong.If a friend says that his arms an d legs are weak, we know that it is his fault. But if he tells us that he has a poor memory, many of us think that his parents are to blame (受指责), and few of us know that it is just his own fault (过错).Have you ever found that some people can't read or write but they have better memories? This is because they cannot read or write and they have to remember things; they cannot write them down in a little notebook. They have to remember days, names, songs and stories; so their memory is the whole time being exercised.13. If you do not use your arms or legs for some time, ____.A. you can't use them any moreB. they will become strongerC. they will become weak and won't become strong until you use them againD. they will become weak but they slowly become strong again14.

Firstly, technology has made education more accessible. With online courses and digital libraries, students can learn anytime and anywhere, breaking the limitations of traditional classroom settings. Secondly, technology enhances the efficiency of learning. Tools like educational software and apps can personalize learning experiences, catering to individual learning styles and paces. Moreover, technology facilitates collaboration. Students can work together on projects using cloud-based platforms, regardless of their physical locations.However, the integration of technology in education also presents challenges. It requires continuous professional development for teachers to keep up with the latest educational technologies. Additionally, not all students have equal access to technological resources, which can exacerbate educational inequality.In conclusion, while technology brings numerous benefits to modern education, it is crucial to address the associated challenges to ensure that it serves as a tool for equitable and effective learning.。

A____Nobody likes staying at home on a public holiday, especially when the weather is fine. Last August we decided to spend the day in the countryside. The only difficulty was that millions of other people had exactly the same idea. We moved out of the city slowly behind a long line of cars. But at last we came to a quiet country road and after some time, stopped at a lonely farm. We had brought plenty of food with us and we got it out of the car. It was very peaceful in the cool grass until we heard ringing at the top of the hill. What we saw made us pick up our things and run back to the car as quickly as possible. There were about two hundred sheep coming towards us down the path.1.

Here are two of the cities listed as “the world’s best〞.SAN JOSE, COSTA RICA The city has comfortable weather all year round (15°C to 26°C). Housing is not very expensive in San Jose. Also, many of the city’s older neighborhoods are very beautiful and have small hotels and cafés (咖啡馆). Beautiful mountains are around the city. You can visit them easily from San Jose. So lots of people go sightseeing there every year. But air pollution is a problem in the city center.HONG KONG, CHINA This lively city—once a small fishing village—is today an international business center. It is an interesting mix of East and West, old and new. Modern tall buildings are next to small temples (庙宇). Popular nightclubs are close to traditional teahouses. Busy people fill the streets at all hours of the day. But outside the city, there are parks for walking or relaxing. Hong Kong is famous for its wonderful native dishes.

Every day we go to school and listen to the teacher, and the teacher will ask us some questions. Sometimes, the classmates will ask for your opinions of the work of the class. When you are telling others in the class what you have found out about these topics, remember that they must be able to hear what you are saying. You are not taking part in a family conversation or having a chat with friends— they will remain silent, waiting to hearwhat you have to say. In the class, you must speak so that they can hear you—loudly enough and clearly enough but without trying to shout or appearing to force yourself.Remember, too, that it is the same if you are called to an interview whether it is with a professor of your school or a government official who might meet you. The person you are seeing will try to put you at your ease (not worried) but the situation is somewhat different from that of an ordinary conversation. You must take special care that you can be heard.41. Usually, when you speak to the class, the class is____________.16．noisy B. quiet C. having a rest D. serious42.

These days are set aside to show love and respect for parents. They raise their children and educate them to be responsible citizens. They give love and care. These two days offer a chance to think about the changing roles of mothers and fathers. More mothers now work outside the home. More fathers must help with child-care.These two special days are celebrated in many different ways. On Mother’s Day people wear carnations. A red one stands for a living mother. A white one shows that the mother is dead. Many people attend religiousservices(宗教仪式) to honor parents. It is also a day when people whose parents are dead visit their graves(墓). On these days, families get together at home and in restaurants. These are days of fun and good feelings andmemories.Another tradition is to give cards and gifts. Children make them in school. Many people make their own presents. These are valued more than the ones bought in stores. It is not the value of the gift that is important, but it is “the thought that counts”. Greeting card stores, florists, candy makers, bakeries（面包房）, telephones companies and other stores do a lot of business during these holidays.45.Which is NOT a reason for children to show love and respect for parents?A Parents bring up childrenB Parents give love and care to childrenC Parents educate children to be good persons.D Parents pass away before children grow up46.What do you know from the passage?A Mother’s Day and Father’s Day are both in May.B Fewer women worked outside the home in the pastC Not all the children respect their parentsD Fathers are not as important as mothers at home47.Which do you think is right about “carnation”?A It only has two kinds of color.B It is a special kind of clothes people wear on Mother’s Day or Father’s Day.C It’s a kind of flower showing love and best wishes.D People can wear carnations only on the third Sunday in June.48.What do you think “florists” do?A They sell flowersB They made bread or pastryC They offer enough room for having family parties.D They sell special candy fo r Mother’s Day and Father’s Day.3.Advertisement★Share Flat.

Fashion is important to all of us. Now we are all wearing school uniforms(校服). When we go home, what do we do? We change into other clothes. If we are going out, we like to wear fashionable clothes. So my first object is this blouse. It looks beautiful, doesn’t it? It is the most expensive piece of clothing, and I love it. It cost over ＄600. You may say that it is too expensive, but luckily I can afford it. The more you spend, the better the quality is. So you see, fashion is quite important to me, I admire it.However, I’m not as fond of fashion as my elde r brother. Last summer, my parents took us both to London. They wanted to show us some famous sights. But my brother Gary did not appreciate the old buildings. He just wanted to spend all his time in the big shopping arcades(拱廊), searching for the coolest pair of trousers! For him, fashion was more important than culture. These are the trousers he bought. Were they worth the expensive of a trip to London to buy these? I don’t think so. I think it was a waste of time and money.We must, however, remember that fashion is a very big business. Changes in fashion can create or lose jobs. As an example, I have bought this blonde(淡黄色的) wig(假发) to show you. Do you like it? It belongs to one of my mother’s friends. She told me that in the 1960s, it was fashionable fo r western women to wear wigs. But a few years later fashions changed and women wore wigs much less often. Then the wig factories closed down and hundreds of workers lost their jobs.53. The passage may be ____.A. a story from a magazineB. a piece of news from a newspaperC. a report on the radioD. a speech to the classmates54. The author （作者）showed all these objects EXCEPT_____ in the passage.A. the blonde wigB. the expensive blouseC. the coolest trousersD. the school uniform55. What does the author （作者）want to tell us in last paragraph?A. Wigs were always popularB. People in the east once liked wearing blonde wigsC. Fashion is actually a businessD. Business often depends on the production of wigs.五、单词拼写单词拼写（共10小题，每小题1分，满分10分）61．S______ is the system by which some people are owned by others.62．Fifty years ago, mixed-race marriages were f________.63．The police a_____ Rosa Parks, a black woman who refused to give her seat to a white man..64．Do you know which big cities are at the same a______ as Rio de Janeiro?.65．There are many café, shops and restaurants on Copacabana’s main a________ .66．It is very relaxing to take a d______ in the pool in summer.67．There is a w______ belief among bioengineers that it will be one day be possible to create life under laboratory conditions. .68．It is easier for a physical wound to heal than a m______ one.69．Although Sam left school more than ten years ago, he still keeps in touch with his f_____ classmates . 70．Some people are g______ for money and some for power. .六、短文改错短文改错（共10小题，每小题1分，满分10分）此题要求改正所给短文中的错误.对标题号的每一行做出判断：如无错误，在该行右边的横线上划（√）；如有错误（每行只有一个错误），则按下列情况改正：此行多一个词：把多余的词用斜线划掉，在该行右边横线上写出该词，并也用斜线划掉。
