AHow Do Different Animals Sleep?Big SleepersPredators, such as lions and wolves, tend to sleep more than their prey. They also spend more time dreaming, although scientists don’t know why.Light SleepersGiraffes don’t get very much sleep — only a few hours a day. For giraffes, sleeping is awkward and leaves them weak to their enemies. So giraffes mostly take short naps while standing up. But they do need to lie down for half an hour or so of deep, dreaming sleep. It can take a whole minute for a giraffe to get back up on its long legs again.A Comfortable BedMost animals like to find a safe, comfortable place to sleep. Gorillas make themselves sleeping nests of branches and leaves on the ground or in a tree. Every gorilla makes a fresh new nest every night, even if they haven5t moved far from the one they used the night before.Half-asleepDolphins are air-breathing mammals that swim in the sea. But how do they sleep? If they stop swimming to take a nap, won’t they sink and drown? Scientists studying seals and dolphins have discovered a surprising answer — these animals can sleep with one half of their brain while the other half stays awake! While the right half of the dolphin’s brain is asleep, the left half stays awake. This lets the dolphin keep its nose above the water so it can breathe. After about 20 minutes, the sides switch, allowing the other half of the dolphin’s brain to sleep.Do Bugs Sleep?Bugs don’t sleep in the same way we do. But they do have periods of rest every day. Dragonflies often have a favorite spot that they return to time after time to rest.1. What can we know about giraffes’ sleeping habit?A. They are big sleepers.B. They don’t need deep sleep at all.C. They usually stand up while sleeping.D. They tend to sleep more than their prey.2. Which of the following animals chooses to be half-asleep?A. Wolves.B. Dolphins.C. Gorillas.D. Giraffes.3. How do dragonflies sleep?A. They sleep while flying.B. They sleep on the surface of the water.C. They sleep in the same way humans do.D. They return to the same place to take a rest.【答案】1. C 2. B 3.

It can bear more weight than steel(钢), stands more impact than carbon fiber and is quite good at absorbing vibration(震动). Most importantly, it's ecologically friendly and you can get it almost everywhere.Building with bamboo is not without its challenges. It has to be joined properly to prevent breaking. Moreover, bamboo is by nature different in size, shape and thickness. But Craig Calfee, a master bike tech pioneer, notes that years of experience can determine what works and what doesn't.Worldwide, thousands of bamboo bikes sell every year. The beauty of bamboo and curiosity about its performance are definitely buying considerations. But to own a ecologically- friendly(环保的) bike is also a big draw. What's more, owners report the bike put them in a better mood. T his could be related to not only less vibration, but also the bike’s ability to connect the rider to nature.Bamboo bikes can be a particularly practical means of transportation in countries that lack fuel and roads. Electricity is not required. The fixture for holding the bamboo in place can be very simple or more industrial. Over the past 15 years, Calfee has made some 20 trips to Africa where he’s taught bicycle construction, helping many businesses get up. A few have taken off, exporting to Europe and North America. Others remain small shops making bikes for local use.Calfee's hope for the future of bamboo bikes is that they continue to inspire people to consider more natural and ecologically-friendly solutions when choosing materials for production. Also, it would be great to see school programs using the bamboo bike as an example and experimental learning model for creative thinking.8、What makes bamboo a good material for making bikes?A.

Bamboo bike construction has a long way to go.C. Bamboo bikes are especially suitable for Africa.D. Bamboo bikes made in Africa are sold worldwide.11、What’s Calfee’s attitude towards the future of bamboo bikes?A. Grateful.B. Worried.C. Hopeful.D. Confused.The fear that machines will steal jobs is centuries old. Previous technology has tended to replace unskilled tasks, but the present AI technology can perform some complex tasks, such as designing posters and writing poems.The horror is that an advanced AI causes harm to a large degree such as making poisons or persuading humans to start attacks. Researchers worry that fixture AIs may go against their human creators. Such worries should not be ignored. But all involve a huge amount of guesswork, and a jump from today’s technology. Rules are needed, but for simpler reasons than saving humanity.So far governments are taking different approaches. At one end of the range is Britain, which applies existing rules to AI systems to encourage investment(投资) and turn Britain into an “AI superpower”. America has taken a similar approach, though it is now seeking public views on what a rule-book might look like. The EU is taking a tougher line, whose law classifies(分类) different uses of AI by the degree of risk.But it is believed that an even sricter approach is needed. Governments should treat AI like medicines, with strict testing and pre-approval before going public. China is doing some of this, requiring companies to go through a safety review before going public.What to do? Tighter rules over time may be needed. Intergovernmental agreements, similar to those that govern nuclear weapons(核武器), may also seem appropriate. To keep the risk below a safe level, governments could form a body that could study AI safety andethics(伦理)一areas where companies are unwilling to invest as much as society might wish.The powerful technology presents new risks, but also offers extraordinary opportunities .Balancing the two means walking carefully. A careful approach today can provide the foundations on which farther rules can be added in future. But the time to start building those foundations is now.12、Why do we fear artificial intelligence currently?A. It gels surprisingly powerful.B. It goes against human beings.C. It causes most people jobless.D. It makes decisions on its own.13、What can we learn about the EU’s approach?A. It has specific considerations.B. It ignores economic advance.C. It practices the strictest laws.D. It relies on public wisdom.14、Why is nuclear weapons mentioned in Para.5?A. To indicate the possible risk of AI.B. To suggest a solution to control AI.C. To stress the importance of AI safety.D. To prove the need of tighter rules for AI.15、What might be the best title for the passage?A. Who to Stop AIB. What to Expect of AIC. When to Act Against AID. How to Worry Wisely about AI二、七选五16、People with mild cognitive impairment(认知缺陷)(MCI) are 30 per cent more likely to recover if they feel optimistic about ageing, according to a study carried out by the Yale School of Public Health.①______ But according to Professor Becca Levy, lead author of the study, that's not the case at all, “Most people assume there is no recovery from MCI, but in fact half of those who have it do recover.”Mild cognitive impairment is a condition which causes memory loss and difficulty in thinking clearly. ②______ People with MCI may also experience a loss of smell or sense of space.The study was conducted over a twelve-year period between 2008-2020 involving 1,716 people aged 65 and above. ③______ Those who came to the study without MCI were also far less likely to develop it if they felt more optimistic about age, and this has nothing to do with their physical health or age. Those who came to the study with MCI were 30 per centmore likely to make a full recovery if they were optimistic about ageing. ④______A previous study, also led by Levy, showed that physical function, as well as stress levels and self-confidence could be improved with optimistic thinking. That being the case, it also seems possible that changing age beliefs could help MCI recovery or avoid it. “⑤______ Therefore, age-belief interventions(干预) at the individual and societal levels could increase the number of people who experience cognitive recovery,” Levy said.A.It is a long and hard process.B.The results seem very promising.C.MCI is a disease often found in people over 60.D.They were also likely to recover two years faster.E.It has been shown that age beliefs can be changed.F.MCI is usually considered to be a one-way process.G.It may result in people forgetting events or often losing things.三、完形填空（15空）My father used to spend much time taking me fishing.

Social networking dominates our life in so many ways. I am the one who is addicted to it. Sometimes I set deadlines for myself : I will start doing my homework at 8 pm and finish it in two hours. At 7:50 pm, I’m scrolling through my friends’ silly posts and photos. Before I know it, it’s 9:30 pm and I haven’t moved an inch from the sofa. I download song after song, video after video, but I’m not really paying attention. The stimulation is in chasing after the next song or video rather than truly enjoying it. Since I spend so much time socialising online, I keep delaying things that are important in my real life: homework, tasks, my good friends and so on. Especially, I miss connecting with my family members in a meaningful way. So it is with my sister.注意：1. 续写内容应为150词左右；2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

2022-2023学年河南省高三上学期阶段性考试（四）英语试题1. When it comes to Albert Einstein (1879-1955), it's easy to imagine an old, crazy-haired genius. But before he ever came up with the theory of relativity, Einstein was a 23-year-old patent clerk, working for the minimum wage. Young Einstein decided to earn some extra cash tutoring physics. He put up an ad, and Maurice Solovine, a student of philosophy, responded. The two did not do much traditional studying, but instead chatted about philosophy. Conrad Habicht, a mathematician and a friend of Einstein, joined their debates. They jokingly called themselves the Olympia Academy.We’ve gathered together some books the members of the Olympia Academy re ad and discussed. Maybe the literature that inspired Einstein can inspire you to be clever, too.A Treatise of Human Nature by David HumeDavid Hume, a 18th-century Scottish philosopher, was always suspicious. He believed “everything we know is really just a matter of probability”. He argued “reason doesn’t motivate people’’, which led to all sorts of questions, such as “So what’s motivating you to write this?”“The chief benefit, which results from philosophy, arises in an indirect manner, and more from it s secret insensible influence, than from its immediate application,” Hume wrote.Analysis of Sensations by Ernst MachAn Austrian philosopher Ernst Mach wrote about how mysterious senses are. In an attempt to figure out how humans experience balance, Mach cleverly built a turning chairs , which used shades of gray bands to show that the colors people saw were deeply affected by the colors around them.Science and Hypothesis by Henri PoincareHenri Poincare, a 19th-century French philosopher, was also a theoretical physicist, an engineer and a mathematician. At college, he was fantastic at math. He created his special theory and wrote Science and Hypothesis. Some of his thoughts actually sowed the seeds for Einstein’s theory of relativity, such as the idea that time is relative.1. What did the members of the Olympia Academy have in common?A．They lived on high wages.B．They tended to laugh at each other.C．They loved reading and studying.D．They were 18th-century mathematicians.2. Which of the following does David Hume agree with?A．Reason motivates people.B．Every human sense is mysterious.C．People should see everything with doubt.D．The chief benefit of philosophy arises directly.3. Who probably inspired Einstein’s theory of relativity?A．Conrad Habicht. B．David Hume. C．Ernst Mach. D．Henri Poincare.2. Growing up in rural Jiangsu Province, Yu Jigao showed a strong interest in fine arts at an early age and studied on his own for years. His hard work paid off later. In the early 1950s, he made his way to Nanjing Normal University, where he learned painting theories and techniques from some famous artists. It was then that Yu found his lifelong artistic zeal for gongbi. Gongbi paintings usually describe birds and flowers, symbols of beauty and joy, in an artistic way with intense color.After graduation from the art school in 1957, Yu began his professional career at the Chinese Painting Institute of Jiangsu. He has since published a series of art collections. Since 1959, Yu has contributed a series of works to many important sites. Yu’s works have also be en displayed in a range of national and international exhibitions. From 1986 to 1997, he held his exhibitions in such places as Beijing, Guangzhou and New York. Both the themes and artistic techniques have won widespread praise in the past years.While observing traditional rules, he uses accurate lines, powerful brush movements as well as the interplay between dark and light to represent the harmony of nature. Though he adopts a realistic style, he tries to enrich his works with spiritual beauty through hi s brush. Yu says, “That feeling turns into the images of singing birds and elegant flowers in my paintings.” Thanks to his careful observation of nature and artistic sensitivity, Yu is able to combine realistic description with artistic expression in his brushwork.Now as deputy director of the Academy of Chinese Gongbi Painting of Flowers and Birds and a national top-level artist, Yu maintains a simple and easy-going style. In addition to artistic creation, Yu has devoted himself to promoting his painting style as the cultural heritage of China. “Art is part of my life,” Yu says. “I am proud to be a flower-bird painter. I hope to create a bright future for it through my efforts.”1. What does the underlined word “zeal” in paragraph 1 mean?A．Request. B．Passion. C．Justice. D．Fund.2. What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us about Yu?A．His school life.B．His painting techniques.C．His achievements in painting.D．His contributions to the art school.3. Which is Yu’s painting feature?A．Adopting abstract objects.B．Excluding plants and animals.C．Combining traditional rules with a realistic style.D．Representing the imbalance between nature and humans.4. What does Yu expect of his painting style?A．It will be passed on.B．It will change over time.C．It will look more complicated.D．It will reach the top international level.3. Adults are often embarrassed about asking for aid. It’s an act that can make people feel weak. The moment you ask for directions, you reveal that you are lost. Seeking assistance can feel like you are broadcasting your incompetence. New research suggests that as early as seven, children begin to connect asking for help with looking incompetent in front of others for the same reason.To learn more about how children think about reputation, researchers prepared simple stories and then asked children questions about the scenes to allow kids to present their thinking. They asked 576 children, aged four to nine. to predict the behavior of two kids in a story. One of the characters genuinely wanted to be smart. and the other merely wanted to seem smart to others. They told children that both kids did poorly on a test. They then asked which of these characters would be more likely to raise their hand in front of their class or to ask the teacher for help. The four-year-old children were equally likely to choose either of the two kids as the one who would seek help. But by age seven or eight, children thought that the kid who wanted to seem smart would be less likely to ask for assistance. When assistance could be sought privately, children thought both characters were equally likely to ask for it.The research shows that children may avoid seeking help when others are present. Their unwillingness can seriously stop academic progress. To improve in any field, one must work hard, take on challenging tasks and ask questions. These efforts can be difficult when someone is concerned with their appearance to others.Such barriers likely require reputation-based solutions. First, adults should lower the social risks of seeking help. For instance, teachers can give children more opportunities to seek assistance privately. Parents can point out how a child's question starts a valuable conversation in which the entire family get to talk and learn together. Adults can praise kids for seeking assistance. These responses send a strong signal that other people accept and attach importance to willingness to ask for aid and that seeking help is part of a path to success.1. Why do children fear to ask others for help?A．They always suffer rejection.B．They are afraid of losing face.C．They make others feel embarrassed.D．They lack communicative competence.2.

From airplanes to apartments, most spaces are now designed with sound-absorbing materials that help decrease various sounds of everyday life. But most of the sound-absorbing materials that can cancel out human voices, traffic noise and music are made from plastic foams (泡沫)that aren’t easily recycled or degraded. Now, researchers reporting in ACS Sustainable Chemistry& Engineerin g have created a biodegradable film(薄膜)obtained from seaweed, which effectively absorbs sounds in this range.Controlling and optimizing the way sound moves throughout a room is key to creating functional spaces. Foam sound-absorbing panels are a common solution, and they come in a variety of materials and thicknesses tailored to specific sound requirements. Most of these foams, however, are made from a type of plastic material and other chemical substances that are obtained from natural-oil or petrol. To avoid petrochemicals, researchers have explored more renewable sources and biodegradable sound-absorbing alternatives. But many current options are made from plant fibers that don’t effectively decrease noises in the most useful range of sound frequencies, or they are too thick or difficult to produce. So, C hindam’s team wanted to develop a biodegradable material from a plant, which would be simple to produce and could absorb a range of sounds.The team created films of agar(琼脂), a material that comes from seaweed, along with other additives developed from plants and varied the thickness of the films. After running the materials through a battery of tests, the researchers measured how well the films reduced sound across a range of frequencies. To do this, the team created a sound tube in which a speaker is placed at one end, and the test film is fitted over the other end. Microphones in the middle of the tube measured the amountof sound sent by the speaker and the amount of sound reflected off the film. These experiments showed that the films with many small holes made with the highest concentrations of agar had the greatest sound-absorbing qualities and per-formed similarly to traditional sound-absorbing foams. The researchers plan to explore ways to change the agar films to give them other desirable properties, such as flame resistance, and will explore other biologically obtained film materials.1. What is the disadvantage of plastic foams?A．They take up too much space.B．They cannot absorb sounds effectively.C．They have difficulty achieving sustainable use.D．They cannot meet specific sound requirements.2. Which kind of sound-absorbing material would Chindam’s team develop?A．One made from plant fibers.B．One produced toughly and tiredly.C．One developed from petrochemicals.D．One obtained easily and effectively.3. What is the last paragraph mainly about?A．The purpose of film research.B．A series of tests on the new material.C．A tool of measuring the film thickness.D．The difficulty of searching the new material.4. What can be the best title for the text?A．A Tube for Measuring the Amount of Underwater SoundsB．Plastic Foams: the Worst Choice of Absorbing SoundsC．Seaweed: a Better Sound-absorbing Underwater PlantD．An Eco-friendly Sound-absorbing Material from Seaweed5. Teaching kids how to take control of income and expenses is the key to financial success. Here are a few tips for helping teens understand the importance of money management.●Family goal settingSetting financial goals as a family can be a great way to solve a current money problem and involve the whole family in cutting back on spending. 1 . They can also be large such as saving for a family vacation. The idea is to get children and parents to work together toward a common financial goal.● 2 .Letting teens pay for goods or services will help them develop healthy financial habits. Balancing the family chequebook and understanding the household income and expenses will prepare teens for the future by learning important money management tools.●Teen credit cardsIf teens have credit cards, they should be responsible for paying the bills on their own. 3 , but parents should set ground rules about acceptable purchases and a monthly limit. There should be a clear understanding that the cards will be taken away if the rules are broken.●Teen jobsWhen teens have jobs, it’s important to discuss how that money will be spent. 4 , like how much they will save and how much they should budget for entertainment. It’s also important for children to be responsible for their own money. Teens should have their own bank account and deposit and withdraw money on their own. This will give them a true sense of responsibility.●AllowanceParents can use allowances to help young children learn about the power of budgeting: Kids learn that they can spend their money weekly on small treats. 5 .6.

河南省2022-2023学年高一下学期期末考试英语试卷学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________一、阅读理解Australia’s Top Natural AttractionsIn Australia, you’ll find an incredible variety of jaw-dropping natural wonders.The Three SistersWhere: Two-hour drive from SydneyLocated in the Blue Mountains, the Three Sisters is a strikingly unusual rock formation that represents three sisters who were turned to stone according to Aboriginal legend. The tallest of the sisters stands at over 920m above sea level.The GrampiansWhere: Three-hour drive from MelbourneThe Grampians National Park is known for its amazing views, sandstone mountains, wild flowers, wildlife and the must-see Mackenzie Falls. Take the 2.5-hour return hike that ends in an incredible view of tree-covered mountains, blue lakes and wide valleys.The Great Ocean RoadWhere: Two-hour drive from MelbourneReady for sweeping coastal views, ancient rock formations and an unbeatable feeling of freedom? Then it’s time to hit the Great Ocean Road. Some of the most impressive sights along the way are Loch Ard Gorge, Gibson Steps, and London Bridge.Lake HillierWhere: Eight-hour drive from PerthAlmost too beautiful to believe, Lake Hillier is known for its bright pink colour. Located on Middle Island near Esperance, Lake Hillier is not the only pink lake in Australia, but it’s often considered the most vibrant (鲜艳的). Its pink colour is less noticeable when viewed from the surface, but it is very easily seen from above. In fact, unlike other pink lakes around the world, its water is still distinctively pink even when it is in a glass.1．How long does it take to drive to the Blue Mountains from Sydney? A．Two hours. B．Three hours. C．Four hours. D．Eight hours. 2．Where should you go if you want to admire Mackenzie Falls?A．Gibson Steps. B．London Bridge. C．The Grampians. D．The Three Sisters.3．What is Lake Hillier famous for?A．Sandstone. B．Pink water. C．A small island. D．An old legend.James Rilling of Emory University in Atlanta published the study in The Royal Society in November,2021. His team surveyed 50 grandmothers each with one biological grandchild be-tween 3 and 12 years old and one of their own child. They also measured the brain function as the participants viewed pictures of their grandchild and the same-sex parent of the grandchild. Researchers found that grandmothers viewing their grandchild’s pictures activated parts of the brain that involved emotional empathy(共鸣)and movement.In contrast, the study also found that when grandmothers viewed images of their adult child, they showed stronger activation in an area of the brain associated with cognitive(认知的)empathy. That indicates they may be trying to cognitively understand what their adult child is thinking or feeling and why, but not as much from the emotional side. Compared with results from an earlier study by the Rilling lab of fathers viewing photos of their children, results showed that grandmothers activated more parts of the brain that involved emotional empathy and motivation.“That suggests that grandmothers tend to feel what their grandchildren are feeling when they interact with them,” Rilling said. “If their grandchild is smiling, they’re feeling the child’s joy. And if their grandchild is crying, they’re feeling the child’s pain and sorrow.” In many societies, grandmothers are important caregivers, and their investment is often associated with improving their grandchildren’s well-being.It’s part of the reason why the US celebrates Grandparents’ Day each year on the first Sunday after Labor Day in September. The announcement was signed in 1978. “Because grandparents are usually free to love, guide and befriendthe young without having to take the daily responsibility for them. They can reach out past pride and fear of failure and close the space between generations,”the announcement read.4．How many generations were there at least in the participants’ families? A．2. B．3. C．4. D．5.5．What did Rilling say about grandmothers and their grandchildren in paragraph 3?A．Their cognitive abilities. B．Their emotional interaction. C．Their respective preferences. D．Their important characteristics. 6．What did the 1978 announcement show?A．The fear of grandparents. B．Grandparents’ Day activities. C．Grandparents’ responsibilities. D．The origin of Grandparents’ Day. 7．What can be the best title for the text?A．Grandmothers Are More Likely to Be EmotionalB．Grandmothers Empathize with Their Own ChildrenC．Grandmothers Hold Deep Bond with GrandchildrenD．Grandmothers Have Generation Gaps with GrandchildrenJust when you thought you were taking care of your health by eating enough fruit and vegetables every day, new research has come out revealing that you might be swallowing microplastic particles (颗粒) along with all those vitamins, minerals, and fibre. A groundbreaking study published in the journal Environmental Research has found that fruits and vegetables absorb microplastic particles from the soil and move them through vegetal tissues, where they remain until eaten by hungry diners, thus getting transferred to human bodies.The researchers, who are from the University of Catania in Italy, as well as Sousse and Monastir universities in Tunisia, analyzed a variety of common fruits and vegetables — carrots, lettuce, broccoli, potatoes, apples, and pears. These were chosen for the fact that they are frequently consumed, usually one per day, which allowed the researchers to better assess the dietary intakes of MPs (microplastic particles) and NPs (nano-plastics). The samples were purchased from different sources in the city of Catania, including a small fruitvendor and a supermarket.The researchers found that apples, followed by pears, were the most polluted fruit samples, and carrots were the most polluted vegetable. In the study’s discussion section, the authors wrote, “We can assume that the fruits contain more MPs not only because of the very high vascularization(血管化) of the fruit pulp(果肉) but also due to the greater size and complexity of the root system and age of the tree (several years) compared to the vegetables (60–75 days for the carrot). ”This study is important because it’s the first to detect microplastics in fruits and vegetables.They have been found in other sources before, such as sea salt, beer, water (bottled, in particular), shellfish, sugar, soil, and even air, but never inside fresh produce. It’s an alarming discovery that raises yet another red flag about microplastic pollution in the natural environment.It’s an area that will likely see a lot more attention in coming years, with the study authors calling for further research into the question of microplastic and whether it harms the health of both plants and humans. 8．What is the study about?A．The main cause of soil pollution.B．The great changes in people’s diets.C．The benefits of eating fruits and vegetables.D．The microplastic pollution in fruits and vegetables.9．Why did researchers choose frequently eaten fruits and vegetables?A．To lower the cost of the study.B．To gain widespread acceptance.C．To improve the accuracy of the study.D．To reduce the time for preparing the samples.10．What may cause fruits to contain more MPs according to the authors? A．The deep spreading roots.B．The long growth period of fruit trees.C．The complex preservation method.D．The large amounts of the fruit pulp.11．What do the study authors think of the research on microplastic?A．It needs to be further studied.B．It wasted them quite a lot of time.C．It has raised people’s awareness of health.D．It has attracted people’s attention to diets.United Airlines is aiming to have electric aircraft flying regional routes by the end of the decade, part of the company’s goal to fully reduce its carbon footprint to net zero by 2050.Those battery-powered aircraft are being developed by Swedish start-up Heart Aerospace, from which United Airlines placed an order for 100 planes in July 2021. United Airlines has pushed heavily into a variety of lower-emission forms of aviation, not only announcing plans to buy electric air taxis and vertical aircraft, as well as hydrogen-electric engines but also investing in the companies behind the advanced technologies.“We cannot continue doing and operating our business the way we do; it is important that we change it, and the way we’ re going to change it is through investing in technology,” Mike Leskinen, United Airlines Ventures president, said in an interview as part of CNBC’s ESG Impact virtual conference on Thursday. “Existing technology is going to either cause us to fly less, which is an unacceptable alternative, or continue with a carbon footprint, which we believe is equally unacceptable,” Leskinen said.Heart Aerospace, which recently redesigned what will be its first electric aircraft which is now called the ES-30, plans to have the planes enter service in 2028, said Anders Forslund, the company’s CEO and founder.The 30-passenger planes will be driven by electric motors with battery-derived energy, allowing the planes to have a fully electric range of 200 kilometers. The planes will also include a reserve- hybrid engine powered by sustainable aviation fuel, allowing it to have an extended range of up to 400 kilometers with a full flight.United Airlines could potentially offer those shorter routes not only with greater frequency but at a lower cost. Leskinen said. “As we adopt electricaircraft, I think the cost for a 30-seat aircraft or a 50-seat aircraft, as the industry evolves, is going to be lower than a traditional aircraft,” he said. For small cities, this means they are “going to get either service that they didn’t have before or greater frequency of service,” he added.12．What message did Mike Leskinen try to deliver in paragraph 3? A．Economic benefits should come first.B．Environmental protection should come first.C．Economy and environment should be equally valued.D．Economy and environment can’t be balanced.13．What do we learn about the electric planes mentioned in the text? A．They will offer short-distance flights. B．They will fly faster than traditional ones.C．They were developed by United Airlines. D．They each can hold 30 passengers at most.14．What did Leskinen try to stress about the electric planes in the last paragraph?A．Their security performance. B．Their potential benefits. C．Their operating modes. D．Their possible problems. 15．Which would be the most suitable title for the text?A．ES-30 Will Be Driven by Electric MotorsB．The Airline Industry Faces New OpportunitiesC．Heart Aerospace Plans to Develop Electric PlanesD．United Airlines Aims to Have Electric Planes Flying二、七选五How to Make a Difference in Your CareerMaking a meaningful career choice is a crucial decision in life. 16 , such as being a doctor, teacher or charity worker. However, you don’t have to limit yourself to just those choices. To have a lasting and meaningful impact, it’s important to consider the problem you expect to overcome.Define what’s personally satisfying17 .

Herb Chasan could have eased into retirement after spending 18 years teaching math to high school students. But the octogenarian couldn’t rest. It wasn’t until eight years ago that he stepped into one of the city’s poorest neighborhoods. He noticed a group of children wandering nearby with nothing to do. He couldn’t shake the image from his mind, and it became the driving force for Hoops and Homework, an after-school program that has provided activities and tutoring for youth up to age 14.Since 2012, Hoops and Homework has helped more than 300 children who otherwise would have gone home to empty houses or roamed the streets until their parents got off work. Thanks to Mr. Chasan and dedicated staff and volunteers, the children instead have spent industrious afternoons making crafts, playing basketball, learning violin and yoga, gardening, and basking in the attention of a small army of tutors. “Our goal is to help these kids break the cycle of poverty and jail to have a good job, to be a success,” says Mr. Chasan.Within a few months, he secured $81,000 in town funding to start the program. It takes $170,000 annually to run the center. Hoops and Homework has encouraged people from different parts of the community to volunteer during the after-school sessions because they can tell the children “someday you may be doing that job, we love to have role models come in.”The program goes beyond helping children. Most of the staff members are bilingual, which enables them to serve the largely Spanish-speaking community. “My English is not good,” says Keila Cupid, a parent who lives close to the center. But the mother of 11-year-old Cupid is clear in expressing her gr atitude for Hoops and Homework: “It’s a safe space for my daughter when I am away to my English class.”1. What motivation made Chasan decide on Hoops and Homework?A．Homeless neighborhood kids. B．Parents being engaging in work.C．The volunteers in the community. D．Children aimlessly walking around.2. What activity is available in Hoops and Homework?A．Making crafts. B．Baking food. C．LearningSpanish. D．Doing extra homework.3. Which statement does Chasan agree with?A．More money should go to charity.B．More people should join in voluntary work.C．More community centers should be built.D．More after-school activities should be considered.4. From the passage, we can infer________.A．starting an organization is tough B．Keila Cupid is studying SpanishC．parents can benefit from the program D．the community kids must have asuccessful career3. Should you share goals or keep them private? You’ll find conflicting answers if you turn to Google. Some say sharing goals cannot live up to one’s expectations because you’ll feel rewarded before actually doing anything to achieve them. The Arabs have for centuries voiced a similar message in the proverb “the more you surround your candle, the more it remains lit”. More recently, the idea became wide spread in 2010 with a TED talk titled “Keep your goals to yourself”.“In most cases you get more benefit from sharing your goal than if you don’t—as long as you share it with someone whose opinion you value,” Howard Klein told Ohio State News. Klein and hi s colleagues conducted several studies on goal-sharing. In one, the results showed that working adults frequently do share goals and are more likely to be committed to achieving those goals when they’re shared with people who are perceived to be of higher status.A second study involved 171 undergraduate students who were asked to play a game. After the first round, the students were asked to play the game again, but this time they had to set a goal. The researchers separated the students into three groups. For one group, the students had to share their goals with a lab assistant who was dressed in a suit and introduced himself as a doctoral-level student in the business school who was an expert on the topic. For another group, the lab assistant was a casually dressed man who identified himself as a student at a local community college. A third group wasn’t asked to share their goals with anyone.The results showed that people who shared their goals with the high-status person not only-showed higher commitment to achieving the goal, but also performed better in the game. Meanwhile, the two other groups showed similar commitment and performance. Klein said, “You want to be dedicated and unwilling to give up on your goal, which is more likely when you share that goal with someone you look up to and whose opinion you value and which might incentivize you to achieve your goals.”1. What message does the Arab proverb express?A．Setting goals makes you more determined.B．Sharing your goals with others gets benefits.C．Keeping your goals secret is the best policy.D．Publishing your goals makes you rewarded.2. What can be inferred from Klein’s two studies?A．How students consider the two lab assistants matters most.B．Adults are more likely to achieve their goals than students.C．Adults are more committed when speaking out their goals.D．The experiment on the third group turned out fruitless.3. What does the underlined word “incentivize” mean in the last paragraphA．Assist. B．Encourage. C．Intend. D．Advise.4. According to Klein, how can you be fully devoted to your goal?A．By discussing it with your friends.B．By sharing it with respected people.C．By maintaining your performance.D．By questioning people of high status.4. This week record-breaking temperatures of more than 40’C were forecast in Britain. Schools closed and hospitals cancelled routine appointments. The Royal Air Force had to rearrange flights from its biggest air base after the runway melted. In mainland Europe, things were bleaker still. After weeks of drought, a heatwave sparked wildfires in France, Greece, Portugal and Spain. Parts of America are struggling through one of their hottest summers ever. And many places of eastern and southern China have seen unusually high temperatures in recent weeks.Why are all of these places suffering extreme heat at the same time? Climate change has made heatwaves more frequent. Very hot temperatures that were once rare occur more frequently and heatwaves that were once impossible come to pass. The temperatures in Britain this week fit into the second category(II),says Richard Betts, a climate researcher with the British Met Office. Similarly, modelling carried out by the World Weather Attribution group, a research coalition, found that last year’s unprecedented heatwave in the Pacific Northwest would have been ”virtuallyimpossible“ without climate change. New records will be set as long as humans continue to burn fossil fuels and destroy carbon-storing ecosystems.Whatever the cause, the consequences are disastrous. Heatwaves kill people and worsen existing health conditions. Heatwaves can cause crops to suffer, as happened this spring in India. In three northern states, yields probably fell by between 10%-35%. If several “breadbasket” arc as are affected there will be worldwide shortages, pushing up prices. Other systems are at risk, too. Heat can disrupt everything from manufacturing to transport. Last weak factories in Zhejiang province in China were forced to ration(定量供应)power to ensure enough supply for air-conditioners in nearby homes. Heatwaves often stretch energy grids(电网)to breaking point. In places where electricity is moved across borders, a stream of power from somewhere not affected can help stabilize the grid. But simultaneous(同时的)heatwaves make that complicated. In an interconnected world，regions rely on each other to cope with disaster. Which becomes much harder when the disasters arc happening in many places at once.1. What is the first paragraph mainly about?A．Extreme heat breaks out across the globe.B．The new temperature record has been set in some areas.C．Natural disasters are increasing due to the extreme heat.D．Many places arc actively fighting against extreme heat.2. What can we learn from paragraph 2?A．There used to be frequent heatwaves and high temperatures.B．The British feel more comfortable when the temperature is II.C．One of the critical factors in extreme heat is human activities.D．It is impossible to experience extreme heat in Pacific Northwest.3. What problem would heatwaves cause globally according to the last paragraph?A．Low birth rate.B．High crop price.C．Less factoriesD．Global warming.4. What does the underlined pronoun “that” refer to in the last paragraph?A．Stretching energy grids.B．Rationing power in factories.C．Generating power.D．Moving electricity across borders.5. The door opens and you are amazed at seeing people jumping and flying around like superheroes. Calm down, you are not in a Marvel film, just a trampoline (蹦床) park.In recent years trampolining has become a new craze among Chinese youths. Short videos are regularly uploaded to social media showing people’s excitement about jumping back and forth on the colorful trampolines. Most videos feature teenagers. 1 .Ms Shi, a 28-year-old from Beijing, goes to trampoline parks almost every weekend. She said “When I was a child, I loved bouncing up and down on the trampolines, though they were just small and simple ones. They made me feel free and happy. 2 .”It’s true that today’s trampoline parks are bigger, more professional and more creative. 3 . you can obviously jump, play in the inflatables (充气垫), or shoot basketballs like an NBA superstar. Also, if you're brave enough, you can learn to walk on the wall.“Trampolining is so much fun. It doesn't feel like exercising at all.” Ms Shi said.4 . According to Robert Smith, a British sports therapist, “The trampoline pad is bouncy and absorbs a large amount of the impact of your landing, so your bones and joints are protected and strengthened at the same time.”Unlike playing soccer, basketball, tennis or any other competitive sports, the risk of injury while trampolining is relatively low. 5 . “You must do warm-up exercises before playing. And you can't lose concentration dur ing the movements,” Peter Cheng, a die-hard trampoline fan, who also owns a trampoline park, warned.While outdoor activities are largely up to the weather, the indoor trampoline parks are really good places to go whenever you are seeking a fun cardio workout (有氧运动).6. When I was a boy, my parents owned a small grocery store. As I ________ those days, many people come to mind. One such person was Nick.I still remember the first time I saw him—or perhaps “experienced” him is a more ________ term. The moment he entered the store I could feel a rush of ________ fill the place. Singing at the top of his lungs, Nick made quite a(n) ________.Nick had great enthusiasm for life. I really admired him for his ability to be completely himself and at ________ with everyone he met and in every situation. For me, his ________ wasn’t really what he did or how he did it, but rather that he was absolutely comfortable simply being himself — a true free spirit. The memory of Nick ________ me of the encouraging phrase, “Dance like no one is________.”Countless times I’ve resisted expressing myself simply because I didn’t want to ________ looking silly or foolish. I often ________ my true self behind a wall of insecurity, but respect those who________ this inhibition (压抑). No ________ this is why I remember Nick so fondly, for he was who he was, and didn’t fo r a second ________ any of it back. Whether you loved him or hated him, Nick most certainly danced to his own ________ and never apologized for it.Perhaps someday I, too, will have the courage and confidence to ________ the steps to that dance.1.A．keep track of B．make use of C．think back to D．come down to 2.A．academic B．appropriate C．abstract D．advanced3.A．wind B．fear C．smell D．energy4.A．entrance B．exit C．fortune D．mistake5.A．war B．sea C．odds D．ease6.A．appearance B．credit C．appeal D．achievement 7.A．informs B．relieves C．reminds D．warns8.A．watching B．singing C．thinking D．hearing9.A．mean B．risk C．allow D．avoid10.A．display B．hide C．expose D．enjoy11.A．lack B．have C．exhibit D．bear12.A．idea B．way C．doubt D．excuse13.A．pay B．give C．take D．hold14.A．role B．style C．tune D．way15.A．recognize B．learn C．praise D．remember7. 阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容 (1个单词) 或括号内单词的正确形式。

He is a logger who cuts down trees using a knife. The forest where he worked is in the Ondo State in Southwest Nigeria. But many trees in that forest have been lost to too much logging.The 61-year-old father of two said that he could cut down over 15 trees anywhere in the forest,but he would be lucky to find only two now.“During the time of my father, we had big trees but sadly what we have now are just small trees and we don’t even allow them to grow tall enough before we cut them,” Marigi said.After cutting down the trees, Marigi puts markers on them to let other loggers know that he is the owner. The cut-down trees, or logs, are then transported(运输)by waterways and rivers to Nigeria’s biggest city, Lagos.Trees in Nigeria are cut down to open land for farming or to feed the energy need of a growing population. From 2001 to 2021, Nigeria has lost 1. 14 million hectares of tree cover.Months after cutting down the trees, Marigi returned to the forest to tie his 40 logs together so they could be transported. With other loggers, he paid for a boat to pull the logs through waterways from Ondo State to Lagos.They built simple houses on top of the logs to help protect themselves from the weather. Food was shared and they sang traditional songs to cheer themselves up. They did not sleep at night to make sure that the logs would not get away from the boat. The boat stopped at several places to pickup more loggers and their logs. A single boat can transport thousands of such logs.Marigi’s trip ended in Lagos where logs from Ondo State and other parts of the country came together. The logs were then cut and sold to users.4．What can we learn about his father according to Marigi?A．He took good care of the forest.B．He could cut down trees for free.C．He left small trees to later generations.D．He had plenty of big trees to cut.5．How does Marigi show the ownership of the trees he cut down?A．By moving them to his house.B．By making signs on them.C．By putting them near waterways.D．By living on top of them.6．Why did Marigi go back into the forest?A．To collect his woods.B．To plant small trees.C．To look for big trees.D．To open land for farming.7．Why didn’t Marigi and his partners sleep at night?A．Their houses were too small to sleep in.B．They were busy with the woods for sale.C．They protected the woods from being lost.D．They needed to work together continuously.At Phoenix Bikes, a bicycle shop, students are learning to repair bikes. Phoenix Bikes sells bikes to the public at their business in Arlington, Virginia. But it also teaches teenagers how to repair bikes.Most students at Phoenix Bikes start in its after-school “earn-a-bike program”, at middle and high schools in and around Arlington County. Once a week over a 12-week period, students learn repair skills. They learn how to use tools, fix flat tires, correct the wheels, and change gears (齿轮). The first lesson includes splitting the bike, and by doing this, they learn all the parts of a bike.In the first few weeks, they work in small groups to repair a bike given to the shop. The bikes often have missing or damaged parts. The finished bike is then given to a person in need from the community (社区). In the last four weeks of the program, students come to the shop to work on one of the given bikes which they can then take home at no cost.Anthony is a student at nearby Wakefield High School. He just completed his bike. He said it was not in good shape at first but was the kind of bike he was looking for and could be made into something better. He said it had no light, no front tire, and was without a chain, which controls the gears. He said he joined the program to get better at working with his hands and fixing things.Phoenix Bikes is teaching 300 to 400 young people this year. Phoenix communications coordinator Gage said the classes are fun and let students learn with their hands after sitting in the classroom all day at school. He added that bikes are interesting for teenagers especiallybecause they are a means of transportation and freedom. Learning how to fix a bike can also be a fun challenge, he said.8．What does the underlined word “splitting” in paragraph 2 probably mean?A．Putting away.B．Breaking up.C．Unlocking.D．Moving. 9．What do students do with the bikes repaired in the last four weeks?A．They sell them to whoever likes it.B．They use them in the training.C．They keep them for themselves.D．They give them to those in need. 10．Why did Anthony take the trouble to repair the broken bike?A．It was the type of bike he liked.B．It was a must to finish the training.C．He needed to prove his ability.D．He wanted to get real experience. 11．What did Gage think of their program?A．It did good to students’ studies.B．It offered fun transportation to students.C．It was too hard for students.D．It was valuable to students.In February, the U.S. stated that its Mars explorer, Perseverance, landed successfully on the Red Planet. Perseverance is on a task to collect Martian soil and rocks as part of a search for signs of ancient life.Perseverance landed in an area of Mars called Jezero Crater. Scientists believe the area has a large ancient lakebed. NASA considers the area a promising place to find possible signs of microbial life.Perseverance carried to Mars a small experimental helicopter named Ingenuity. In April, NASA said Ingenuity had successfully completed a takeoff and landing on the planet. It said the flight was historic; it marked the first time any flying machines had performed a powered, controlled flight on another planet.In July, British billionaire Richard Branson entered into space on a rocket plane built by Virgin Galactic, the space tourism company he created. Branson joined two pilots and three other task experts on the flight. Virgin Galactic aims to fly private citizens to the edge of space to experience a few minutes of weightlessness and observe the Earth.A little over a week later, American billionaire Jeff Bezos flew to the edge of space on a rocket built by his company, Blue Origin. Three other people took the quick trip with him: Bezos’ brother, a Dutch teenager and an 82-year-old pilot.The flights by Branson and Bezos officially started a new industry that promises anycitizen the chance to visit space. Such trips will be costly, however. Virgin Galactic’s price for a single flight is $250,000. Blue Origin has not publicly announced its price. Both businesses have built operating bases, called spaceports, in the countryside areas of the U.S.And earlier this month, Japanese billionaire Y usaku Maezawa arrived at the International Space Station (ISS), their destination where they stayed for 12 days. The businessman arrived along with an assistant aboard a Russian Soyuz spacecraft. The price of that trip has not been made public, but some reports guess it cost up to $50 million.12．What is Virgin Galactic’s goal?A．To search for life in space.B．To draw people’s attention to space.C．To develop space tourism for the public.D．To support space exploration programs. 13．What do we know about Richard Branson and Jeff Bezos?A．They traveled in space with their family.B．They went to the same place in space.C．They tried to serve tourists in the countryside.D．They rode a spaceship built by their own company.14．What is secret about the Japanese billionaire’s space travel?A．Its cost.B．Its destination.C．Its travel period.D．Itstransportation.15．Which is the most suitable title for the text?A．Expensive Space Tourism in the Future B．Signs of Ancient Life Discovered on MarsC．Traveling in Space, Billionaires’ Game D．Progress on Mars and Rise in Space Tourists二、七选五How to Grow Plants with Little SunSome people might think that growing plants without much sun is a difficult, if not impossible, task. However, that is not true.What type of shade (背阴处) do you have?The first step is understanding the type of shade you have. This is based on the amount (数量) of time that the sun shines on the area. 16 They are:• part shade (3-6 hours of direct sun, usually in the morning)• full shade (less than 3 hours of direct sun)• deep shade (sunlight rarely, if ever, gets through trees or past structures like buildings) Buy the right plantsWhen you know your shade conditions, find plants that suit them. 17 You can also research that information online, in books or magazines. Experts at gardening stores are other sources of information.And don’t forget your gardeners nearby. When walking around a community garden or your neighborhood, take note of plants growing in shady areas. Talk to the gardeners. 18 Ways to increase lightThe gardening expert adds that painting nearby structures white mirrors sunlight. Glass and mirrored objects can also mirror light around the garden. If possible, carefully cut some tree branches (树枝). This lets more sunlight reach the ground.What to plant?Search for the low-light plants suitable for your area. 19 Vegetables like tomatoes need a lot of sun. But leafy greens actually grow better in part shade.As for pests (害虫), some kinds like shade gardens. But most other pests are less of a problem in low-light conditions. 20 That is, you will feel less hot while gardening!A．There are three main types of shade.B．Learn about their successes and failures.C．Do not give up growing plants you can eat.D．Deep shade is the most challenging for gardeners.E．This information is available where plants are sold.F．Note how many hours of direct sunlight reaches the ground.G．There is another good thing about gardens with less sunlight.三、完形填空I walked quickly over to the check stand, pulled some 26 out of my bag and showed it to the cashier.
