The hard work started before daybreak and lasted well into the blistering heat of the afternoon. To get out of there, she was going to get an education.Her parents tried to save some money to send her to college, but unexpected bills kept hitting the fund. Then a teacher announced that the state was going to give a college scholarship to the two top students from her year. Finally, West got the scholarship, allowing her to attend Virginia State College, a historically black university.West decided to major in mathematics because it was a well-respected subject. It was largely studied by men, but she didn’t take much notice of them as she knew deep in her heart that nothing was getting in her way. After graduating, she became a teacher. A few years later, she returned to the university and earned a master’s degree in mathematics. Then she was offered a job at a naval base in Dahlgren, Virginia. This made her only the second black woman to be hired to work as a programmer at the base.Despite her intellectual abilities and career success, West felt she was inferior. It was this feeling, deeply rooted and felt, by many African Americans that drove her to work as hard as she could. West determined to commit herself to her work, hoping that by doing it to the best of her ability, she could get recognition for her work.West did just that. In 1979, she became project manager for the Seasat project, the first satellite that could monitor the oceans. She programmed an IBM 7030 Stretch computer, providing faster calculations for an accurate Earthmodel. This detailed mathematical model of the shape of the Earth was a building block for what would become the GPS orbit. In 1998, aged 68, she intended to focus on her PhD after retirement. She eventually finished her graduation thesis and gained her PhD in public administration and policy affairs in 2000 at the age of 70.4．What helps Gladys West to go to the university?A．Her teacher’s aiding her.B．Her parents’ paying for the expenses.C．Her family background.D．The scholarship from the government.5．What can we infer from the text?A．West got all her degrees after retirement.B．Men dominated maths field in West’s days.C．Black women scientists ' talent was fully appreciated.D．When she began to work, West felt she was superior to others.6．What does the underlined phrase “a building block” in paragraph 5 mean?A．A basic part.B．A detailed map.C．A building material.D．A major obstacle.7．What kind of person is Gladys West?A．Helpful and serious.B．Honest and hardworking.C．Ambitious and committed.D．Considerate and devoted.The success of many North American crops partly depends on ground beetles, small insects that eat pests and weed seeds that could otherwise damage crops. But a new study by researchers in the U. S. and Canada suggests not all of the nearly 2,000 species of ground beetles found in North America will survive climate change. Some could decline. And that could have a far-reaching impact on agriculture, forestry, and conservation.By analyzing data on 136 different ground beetle species across continental North America, Puerto Rico and Hawaii, the researchers found that a species’ chance of success in a changing climate depends on several important factors, such as its habitat preference, body size, and whether it flies, climbs or runs. “We found that less mobile, nonflying ground beetles, which are critical pest control agents, are more likely to decline over time in a warmer, dryer climate,” said Tong Qiu, who led the study. “That means you’re going to have more pests that can impact agricultural and forest ecosystems.” But there is reason for hope, Qiu added, because the analysis also showed that habitat conservation can lessen these effects and reverse the trends in some areas.“We hope conservation biologists will use this information and the online map that we created to better manage habitats for insects in general. Ground beetles are very beneficial to ecosystems, but they’re largely invisible to the average person. In this paper we’re showing the broad impacts they have on whole communities in forested and agricultural ecosystems,” said Qiu.The researchers used ground beetle count data from the National Science Foundation’sNational Ecological Observatory Network(NEON)and from 11 previously published studies to measure and map the beetles’ distribution across North America. Habitat information, such as the location of gap s in forest canopies and the density of plants on a forest floor, was obtained by using NEON’s imaging instruments to create detailed three-dimensional images of landscapes. They then entered the data collected into a computer model to simulate(模拟)climate changes to study how the insects would respond.8．What does the new study in North America show?A．Pests could destroy crops.B．Some ground beetles will not survive a climate change.C．The survival of ground beetles only depends on its habitat.D．Some ground beetles will destroy crops in a warmer climate.9．What does Tong Qiu intend to convey in paragraphs 2 and 3?A．There is no way to stop the decline of ground beetles.B．Critical pests are more adaptable in a warmer, drier climate.C．Ground beetles will become less mobile in a warmer climate.D．The importance of ground beetles should be widely recognized.10．How did the research team carry out the study?A．By analyzing data.B．By studying documents.C．By doing field research.D．By performing experiments.11．What can be the best title for the text?A．North American Agriculture Crops at RiskB．A Catastrophic Climate Change on the WayC．Crop-saving Beetles under Climate ThreatD．New Breakthrough in Biodiversity ResearchScience is a process that builds upon existing theories and knowledge by continuously revising them. Every aspect of scientific knowledge can be questioned, including the general rules of thinking that appear to be most certain. So why is science trustworthy if it is always changing? If tomorrow we will no longer see the world as Newton or Einstein found it to be, why should we take seriously today’s scientific description of the world?The answer is simple: Because at any given moment of our history, this description of the world is the best we have. The fact that it can be made better can’t diminish (降低) the fact that it is a useful instrument for understanding the world.Consider a folk healer’s herbal medicine. Can we say this treatment is “scientific”? Yes, if it is proven to be effective, even if we have no idea why it works. In fact, quite a few common medications used today have their origin in folk treatments, and we are still not sure how they work. This does not imply that folk treatments are generally effective. To the contrary, many of them are not. What distinguishes scientific medicine is the readiness to seriously test a treatment and to be ready to change our minds if something is shown not to work. A research doctor in a modern hospital must be ready to change his theory if a more effective way of understanding illness, or treating it, becomes available.What makes modern science uniquely powerful is its refusal to believe that it already possesses ultimate truth. The reliability of science is based not on certainty but on a complete absence of certainty. As John Stuart Mill wrote in “On Liberty” in 1859, “The beliefs which we have most warrant (依据) for, have no safeguard to rest on, but a standing invitation to the whole world to prove them unfounded.”12．Why does the author raise the two questions in paragraph 1?A．To add some fun.B．To express doubts.C．To introduce the topic.D．To provide background.13．What can we learn about today’s scientific description of the world?A．It can be timeless.B．It can be improved.C．It is of little value.D．It is the best at any moment.14．What is the author’s attitude toward folk treatment?A．Dismissive.B．Objective.C．Pessimistic.D．Sympathetic. 15．What is the main idea of paragraph 4?A．It is unwise to believe in science.B．Too much uncertainty lies in science.C．The foundation of science is unfounded.D．The lack of certainty makes science credible.There are hundreds of worthy destinations in the country catering to all tastes. At the top of that list is Chengdu, the perfect jumping-off point for those in search of a mix of stunning natural scenery, wildlife and some of most incredible food on the planet. In recent years the city has expanded its offerings, including a number of new projects tourists will want to experience. 16 It’s the happiest city in China.If visiting a place with happy locals is a priority for you, there’s no better city to hit than Chengdu. It has been voted the happiest city in China for 12 continuous years by an annual survey conducted by Oriental Outlook. 17It has got one most beautiful bookstore in China.The new location in Dujiangyan is the second Zhongshuge bookstore in the provincial capital. 18 Inspired by Dujiangyan’s ancient irrigation system, the new bookstore has its own features. The beautiful environment of the bookstore can attract more people who do not love books, and awaken their interest and memory in reading.There’s a spectacular new massive airport.One of the world’s most eye-catching new airports, Chengdu’s Tianfu International Airport is as modern as it gets. Beginning operations in 2021, Thantu Airport is the largest civil airport.19 Travelers can experience a series of cutting-edge technologies at Tianfu, including facial recognition software and self-check-in booth.20There’re plans to turn Chengdu into a “Western China Science City”. Travelers visiting the “Science City” can expect to see many examples of eco-conscious and new wave architecture created by some of the most famous firms in the world. Among these is the world’s first “Unicorn Island”, the country’s next high-tech unicorn. There will also be a low-carbon Future Science and Technology City.A．The arts scene is taking off.B．It’s also a city focused on the future.C．There’s no harm in starting to dream about your next visit now.D．It’s expected to handle up to 60 million passengers per year by 2025.E．Its results combine big data, questionnaires, site visits and expert opinions.F．The first, which opened in 2017 in central Chengdu, is modeled after terrace fields.G．Whether you’re dreaming of business travel or just post-pandemic trip, here are some reasons.二、完形填空Recently, a 70-year-old woman has won hearts with her energetic workouts on Douyin--a social networking video platform, also known globally as TikTok, where men and women commonly show their working out or share 21 tips.Trying to stand out from the crowd amid the floods of such videos can often be difficult, but a/an 22 new account, which has only been active since last year, has 23 to do so easily.The fitness instructor behind this account is not a young woman with a slim, well-built24 that would leave viewers green with 25 .The star here is 70-year-old Chen Jifang,a Shanghai resident with 3 million likes on her Douyin videos.

It might understand more than you think.A border collie named Rico recognizes the names of about 200 objects, say researchers in Germany. The dog also appears to be able to learn new words as easily as a 3-year-old child. Its word-learning skills are as good as those of a parrot or chimpanzee(黑猩猩).In one experiment, the researchers took all 200 items that Rico is supposed to know and divided them into 20 groups of 10 objects. Then the owner told the dog to go and fetch one of the items and bring it back. In four tests, Rico got 37 out of 40 commands right. As the dog couldn't see anyone to get clues, the scientists believeRico must understand the meanings of certain words.In another experiment, the scientists took one toy that Rico had never seen before and put it in a room with seven toys whose names the dog already knew. The owner then told Rico to fetch the object, using a word the dog had never heard before.The correct object was chosen in seven out of l0 tests, suggesting that the dog had worked out the answer by process of elimination(排除法). A month later, Rico remembered half of the new names, which is even more impressive.Rico is thought to be smarter than the average dog. For one thing, Rico is a border collie, a breed (品种)known for its mental abilities. In addition, the 9-year-old dog has been trained to fetch toys by their names since the age of nine months.It's hard to know if all dogs understand at least some of the words we say. Even if they do, they can't talk back. Still, it wouldn't hurt to sweet-talk your dog every now and then. You might just get a big, wet kiss in return!26. W hich of the following best explains the underlined word “A border collie”?A. a parrot which is betterB. a dog which is foolishC. a dog which is smarterD. a dog which is better27. From paragraph 2 we know that __ .A. animals are as clever as human beingsB. dogs are smarter than parrots and chimpanzeesC. dogs have similar 'learning abilities as 3-year-old childrenD. chimpanzees have very good word-learning skills28. Both experiments show that .A. Rico is smart enough to get all commands rightB. Rico can recognize different things including toysC. Rico has developed the ability of learning mathematicsD. Rico won't forget the names of objects once recognizing them29. Which of the following statements is true?A. The purpose of the experiments is to show the border collie's mental abilities.B. The border collie is world-famous for recognizing objects.C. Rico has a better memory partly because of its proper early training.D. Rico is born to understand its owner's commands.30. What does the writer want to tell us?A. To be friendly to your dog.B. To train your dog.C. To talk to your dog.D. To be careful with your dog.BIn the United States, when one becomes rich, he wants people to know it. And even if he does not become very rich, he wants people to think that he is. That is what ‘keeping up with the Joneses’ is about, It is the story of someone who tried to look as rich as his neighbors.The expression was first used in 1913 by a young American called Arthur Momand. He told this story about himself. He began earning $ 125 a week at the age of 23. That was a lot of money in those days. He got married and moved with his wife to a very wealthy neighborhood outside New York City. When he saw that rich people rode horses, Momand went horseback riding every day. When he saw that rich people had servants, Momand and his wife also hired a servant and gave big parties for their new neighbours.It was like a race, but one could never finish this race because one was always trying to keep up. The race ended for Momand and his wife when they could no longer pay for their new way of life. They moved back to an apartment in New York City.Momand looked around him and noticed that many people do things just to keep up with rich life--style of their neighbours. He saw the funny side of it and started to write a series of short stories, He called it ‘Keeping up with the Joneses’ because ‘Jones’ is a very common name in the United States.’ Keeping up with the Joneses’ came to mean keeping up with rich lifestyle of the people around you. Momand’s series appeared in different newspapers across the country for over 28 years.People never seem to get tired of keeping up with the Joneses. And there are ‘Jonses’ in every city of the world. But one must get tired of trying to keep up with the Joneses because no matter what one does, Mr. Jones always seems to be ahead.31. Some people want to keep up with the Joneses because they ______.A. want others to know or to think that they are richB. want to be as rich as their neighboursC. don’t want others to know they are richD. want to be happy32. It can be inferred from the story that rich people like to ________.A. live outside New York CityB. live in New York CityC. live in apartmentsD. have many neighbours33. The underlined word “neighbourhood” in the second paragraph means ________.A. a person who lives near anotherB. people living in an areaC. an area in another town or cityD. an area near the place referred to34. Arthur Momand used the name ‘Jones’ in his series of short stories because’ Jones’ is ________.A. an important nameB. a popular name in the United StatesC. his neighbour’s nameD. not a good name35. According to the writer, it is to keep up with the Joneses.A. correctB. impossibleC. interestingD. goodCThe way people hold to the belief that a fun-filled, pain free life equals happiness actually reduces their chances of ever attaining real happiness. If fun and pleasure are equal to happiness then pain must be equal to unhappiness. But in fact, the opposite is true: more often than not things that lead to happiness involve some pain.As a result, many people avoid the very attempts that are the source of true happiness. They fear the pain inevitably brought by such things as marriage, raising children, professional achievement, religious commitment , self - improvement.Ask a bachelor(单身汉) why he resists marriage even though he finds dating to be less and less satisfying. If he is honest he will tell you that he is afraid of making a commitment. For commitment is in fact quite painful. The single life is filled with fun, adventure, excitement. Marriage has such moments, but they are not its most distinguishing features.Couples with infant children are lucky to get a whole night’s sleep or a three - day vacation. I don’t know any parent who would choose the word fun to describe raising children. But couples who decide not to have children never know the joys of watching a child grow up or of playing with a grandchild.Understanding and accepting that true happiness has nothing to do with fun is one of the most liberating realizations. It liberates time: now we can devote more hours to activities that can genuinely increase our happiness. It liberates money: buying that new car or those fancy clothes that will do nothing to increase our happiness now seems pointless.

He criticized teachers for failing to recognize that boys are actually more emotional than girls.The research argued that boys often perform badly in mixed schools because they become discouraged when their female peers do better earlier in speaking and reading skills.“But in single-sex schools teachers can adjust lessons to boys’ learning st yle, letting them move around the classroom and getting them to compete in teams to prevent boredom”, wrote the study’s author, Abigail James of the University of Virginia.Teachers could encourage boys to enjoy reading and writing with “boy-focused” approaches such as themes and characters that appeal to them. Because boys generally have sharper vision, learn best through touch, and are physically more active, they need to be given “hands-on” lessons where they are allowed to walk around. “Boys in mixed schools view classical music as feminine (女性的) and prefer the modern type in which violence and sexism are major themes,” James wrote.Single-sex education also made it less likely that boys would feel they had to give in to a stereotype(陈词滥调) that men s hould be “masterful and in charge” in relationships. “In mixed schools boys feel pressed to act like men before they understand themselves well enough to know what that means,” the study reported.41. The author believes that a single-sex school would ____ .A. encourage boys to express their emotions more freelyB. force boys to hide their emotions to be “real men”C. help to form masculine aggressiveness in boysD. naturally place emphasis on the traditional image of a man to boys42. What does Tony Little say about the British education system?A. It fails more boys than girls academically.B. It focuses more on mixed school education.C. It places more pressure on boys than on girls.D. It fails to give boys the attention they need.43. It is commonly believed that in a mixed school boys _____ .A. grow up more healthilyB. perform relatively betterC. behave more responsiblyD. receive a better education44. According to Abigail James, one of the advantages of single-sex schools is _____.A. boys can focus on their lessons without being absent-mindedB. boys can choose to learn whatever they are interested inC. teaching can be designed to promote boys’ team spiritD. teaching can be adapted to suit the characteristics of boys45. Which of the following is the characteristic of boys according to Abigail James’report?A. They have sharper vision.B. They enjoy being in charge.C. They act the same to stereotypes.D. They are violent and sexist.第二节信息匹配（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）请根据下面需要志愿帮助的信息，找出能够为他们提供帮助的援助者。

江门一中2021-2022学年度第二学期第2次学段考试高二级英语试卷第一部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分32分）第一节：（共11小题：每小题2分，满分22分）ASleep, considered a luxury by many, is essential for a person’s health and happiness. Researchers have found that inadequate sleep and tiredness increase a person’s risk of developing severe medical conditions, such as obesity, high blood sugar levels, and heart disease. Now, a new study has found that getting enough sleep is also the key to improving academic performance.Jeffrey Gross, the university science professor who led the research, was not trying to find the relationship between sleep and grades when he handed out smart watches to the 100 students in his chemistry class. Instead, the professor hoped the wrist-worn devices (装置), which track a person’s physical activity, would show a connection between exercise and academic achievement.While Gross’s data showed no relationship between these two factors (因素), the study found something surprising. As the researchers were analyzing their data, they noticed that there was a straight-line relationship between the average amount of sleep a student got an d their results in the course’s 11 quizzes, three midterm tests, and the final exam.Even more interesting, it was not enough for students to just head to bed early the night before a test. Instead, it’s the sleep you get during the days when learning is happening that matters most.The time students went to bed each night was similarly important. Those who went to bed in early hours of the morning performed poorly, even if the total sleep time was the same as a higher- performing student. “When you go to bed matters,” Gross says, “If you go to bed at 10, or 12, or 1 at night, and sleep for seven hours, your performance is the same. But if you go to bed after 2, your performance starts to go down even if you get the same seven hours. So, quantity isn’t everything. ”Perhaps the most interesting was the huge effect that small differences in sleep patterns had on the students’ grades. The entire course grades for students averaging six and a half hours of sleep each night were 25% lower than students who averaged just one hour more sleep. Similarly, students who changed their bedtime by even one hour each night had grades that dropped 45% below those with more regular bedtimes.Who knew getting A’s just required some extra ZZZ’s?1．Based on his original goals, which best describes Professor Gross’s research findings?A．Complete. B．Accidental.C．Convincing. D．Doubtful.2．How did Professor Gross’s team measure academic performance?A．Making the students wear a special watch.B．Giving the students regular after-class quizzes.C．Using students’ university entrance test results.D．Using the students’ normal test and quiz grades.3．Based on the study’s findings, who is likely to perform best academically?A．A person who sleeps for a total of 7 hours each night.B．A person who sleeps from 11 p. m. to 6 a. m. each day.C．A person whose normal bedtime changes between 9 p. m. and 12 p. m.D．A person who has a good night’s sleep the night before an important test.BWeird. That was how Kelvin felt when he signed a prenuptial agreement years ago with his then girlfriend. According to the agreement, the ownership of the house would go to the wife if the couple divorced, because the wife’s parents had paid the down payment for the house.In China, most people are unwil ling to sign a prenuptial agreement, commonly known as “prenups”. But overseas Chinese are showing a different attitude. According to a recent survey, 70 percent of overseas Chinese participants, mainly living in the US, said it is necessary to sign prenups before tying the knot. The survey covering 1,084 people was conducted by a Los Angeles-based dating company “2RedBeans” through the company’s mobile app.“It shows that the attitude of overseas Chinese toward marriage has been influenced by Western value s over the past decade,” said a co-founder of 2RedBeans. In China, more often than not, a prenup is considered to indicate distrust between a couple and the lack of faith in marriage.US family law attorneys, however, say that prenups have many advantages, from protecting the assets (资产) brought into the marriage by one party to saving the other party from debt. The rights and obligations related to marriage vary from state to state in the US. “So if you get married without drawing up your own terms and conditions, you are by default (默认) submitting to your state’s law,” Kelly Rickert who has gained popularity forsharing family court stories said in a TikTok video. “Prenups are especially important in a community property state such as California, where all assets and debts acquired after marriage shall be shared by both parties,” she said.One of her recent clients was lucky to have a prenup which allowed her to keep her property separate from the debt of her late husband, who had run up “astronomical” amou nts of medical bills before he died of COVID-19. “Had they not had a prenup stating that the debt be attributed to the party who acquired it, the medical debt would have been shared and she would have had to pay it.” Rickert said.This might be one of the reasons why many overseas Chinese are attaching importance to prenups. Overseas Chinese living in North America are generally high-income earners and come from middle-class families, so they more easily accept prenups, especially those under 30 years old, who are more likely to value financial independence and consider prenups necessary.4．What do we know about the survey?A．The company TikTok carried out the survey.B．One thousand people were surveyed through WeChat.C．It was conducted among Chinese people living in the US.D．Most people surveyed hold a favorable attitude towards prenups.5．What may be the attitude of most people in China towards prenups?A．Favorable. B．Neutral.C．Disapproving. D．Doubtful.6．Why does the author mention the example in Paragraph 5?A．To prove the importance of prenups.B．To call for people’s attention to prenups.C．To illustrate the damage caused by COVID- 19.D．To demonstrate what will happen.7．Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?A．A Trend Among ChineseB．The Pros and Cons of PrenupsC．Overseas Chinese Value PrenupsD．Different Attitudes Toward MarriageCIf a president, a philosopher, and one of the best-selling writers credited the same secret for their success, would you try to follow it too? What if the secret was something you already knew how to do? In fact, you probably do it every day. Here's what Friedrich Nietzsche wrote: "It is only ideas gained from walking that have any worth." Thomas Jefferson: "Walking is the best possible exercise." Charles Dickens: "If I could not walk far and fast, I think I should just explode and die."Researchers have found quite a lot of connections between walking and producing ideas. A Stanford University study found that participants were 81 percent more creative when walking as opposed to sitting. According to the study, walking outside-compared with on a treadmill（跑步机）-produces the most novel and highest-quality ideas.The movement aspect of walking is obviously key. Our creative thinking is triggered（触发）by physical movement, which is exactly why walking-with your dog, a friend, or alone-feeds creative thinking.The scenery is almost as important as the sweat. Breaking your routine with a walk can be acatalystfor fresh understanding of problems or projects. Just by going outside, you are stepping out of your familiar surroundings and your comfort zone, which is necessary if you want to open your mind to new possibilities. You can walk through a tree-filled neighborhood. You can walk through a park and observe people joking or birds singing. Being inside, you're more likely to be lifeless, which means you don't have enough energy to wonder or create.So instead of setting a fitness goal, why not set a creativity goal that starts with walking? Involve yourself more closely in your surroundings. Turn off your phone and give yourself the chance to be present in the world, to hear conversations and natural sounds, and to notice the way people move and the way the sun reflects in puddle （小水坑）.8．How does the author introduce the topic?A．By providing background. B．By borrowing phrases from great minds.C．By giving definition. D．By presenting well-known examples.9．The underlined word in paragraph 4 means something ________.A．causing a change B．stopping progressC．catching eyes D．interrupting creativity10．What can we learn from the passage?A．Nature exploration improves fitness.B．Walking on a treadmill brings more energy.C．Working indoors makes people less creative.D．Familiar surroundings encourage novel ideas.11．What can be a suitable title for the text?A．Exercise in Nature. B．Train Your Brain.C．Develop Your Creativity. D．Walk for Wonder.第二节：七选五（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）An online journalist generates news content for distribution over the Internet.

广东省江门市新会第一中学2023-2024学年高二下学期期末考试英语试题一、阅读理解Train the important skills modern editors use to evaluate and enhance writing for clarity, precision and accuracy.In this course, students will learn how an editor approaches a submitted piece, going beyond sentence-level error and looking at the big picture around accuracy, style and organization. Understanding the different challenges in an editor’s job, students will get a behind-the-scenes look at this sometimes busy and often exciting career. Meanwhile, students will grow their own technical editing skills and return home a more competent editor.Using Gen Z Era as their case study, students will meet and study under the people who decide what topics are relevant and valuable to the audience and who determine the overall editorial strategy, ensuring that the content meets the standards and tone of the publication.Course Highlights● Visit the media city and attend lectures by award-winning guest speakers.● Assess articles as well as question and coach the authors to get the best piece possible.● Connect with professionals who manage the development and publication of accurate and worthy content.● Edit one piece into a well-written and fact-checked article in the style of Gen Z Era.Price● Residential Program (Students live on campus):$6,600● Day Program(Students commute to class every day): $5,500(Graduating seniors can have a $400 discount if applying before May 2,2024.)Term Date: July 9-July 21,2024Application Deadline: Friday, May 31,2024ContactAdmission:******************1．Which is the probable name of the course?A．Career Development in Media.B．Editorial Decision-making.C．Fundamentals of Editing.D．Introduction to Publication.2．What will students do in the course?A．Interview award-winning guests.B．Help authors improve their articles.C．Connect with professional publishers.D．Edit one article for Gen Z Era.3．A graduating senior applying for a Day Program on April 30, 2024 should pay _______.A．$5,100B．$5,500C．$6,200D．$6,600At the Winter Olympic Games in Sochi, Russia, halfway in the women’s slalom (障碍滑雪) race, 18-year-old Mikaela Shiffrin took a commanding lead over the greatest women’s slalom skiers in the world. On her final run, she burst from the start house at a breakneck speed, snaking around the poles in crazy rhythm.Skiing has always been a significant part of Mikaela’s life. Her mom raced and coached skiing and her dad ski raced all through college. The Shiffrins taught Mikaela and her brother, Taylor, to ski at a very young age. At the age of two and a half, Mikaela made her first ski run on plastic skis. From ages 8 to 11, she worked hard, practicing hundreds of training runs on small hills repeatedly to develop the correct techniques of slalom skiing.When Mikaela was 11, she attended the Burke Mountain Academy, a Vermont boarding school for skiers. She took classes, studied, and practiced her skiing crazily. According to Kirk Dwyer, Burke Mountain Academy headmaster, “It was the degree of Mikaela’s effort to be the best that distinguished her from others. Her commitment to conditioning, having proper sleep, eating correctly, doing the drills, and watching video was unusual for an 11 to 13-year-old. Mikaela practiced more than anyone and believed in herself then and now.”By the time she was 17, she had already won her first World Cup race.Working hard is a full-time job for Mikaela. Even her off-season is work time. In the summer, when Mikaela is off the ski slopes and in the gym, her daily training consists of six to seven hours of weight lifting, swimming, and biking to improve her core strength and flexibility. She does all of this so that she can dash down slopes at speeds topping 50 miles per hour while cutting back and forth around gates with astonishing precision.“If you have passion for your targets, whatever they are,” she says, “the sky is the limit. Give it your all!”4．What can we learn from paragraph 2?A．Mikaela came from a skiing family.B．Mikaela’s mother taught her to ski first.C．Mikaela trained harder than her brother.D．Mikaela’s father coached skiing in colleges.5．Why were headmaster Kirk Dwyer’s words cited?A．To stress Mikaela was a crazy teenager.B．To show Mikaela’s distinct personality.C．To praise the good students in his school.D．To highlight Mikaela’s great devotion to training.6．Which of the following words can best describe Mikaela?A．Talented and wise.B．Creative and determined.C．Flexible and brave.D．Determined and self-disciplined.7．What does Mikaela Shiffrin’s story convey?A．Practice makes perfect.B．Not to advance is to go back.C．He who laughs last laughs best.D．Actions speak louder than words.Parrots are prey animals, which means that other predators (捕食者) in the wild, such as hawks or snakes, are looking to make them into a meal. This one factor influences parrots’ behavior in your house more than any other.Parrots are most easily hurt when feeding on the ground. Membership in a group plays an important function in ensuring their safety and improving their chances of survival from attacks by predators. The most common predators of parrots include hawks, snakes, cats, monkeys, and bats. Some predators make attacks only during the day while others hunt in the night.As prey animals, parrots are constantly watching out for danger and they instinctively (本能地) react to risks. Their first choice is to take flight. However, if this is not possible, they will fight with their powerful beaks to defend themselves.Because their biggest enemy is the hawk, parrots are especially reactive to quickmovements from above and behind. For this reason, it is wise to avoid quick, sudden movements near your bird. This is a built-in reaction not subject to logic or reason. Simple and relatively harmless household objects can draw extreme fear responses from a bird. For example, a balloon may represent a hawk or a vacuum hose (吸尘器软管) may be the same as a snake in your bird’s mind.As prey animals, parrots are often frightened by exposure to new household items or strangers. It is important to expose your bird to safe experiences and changes starting at a very young age to build flexibility and improve their adaptability. Variety in diet and toys, travel, and exposure to new people and places all help to make your bird more flexible and adaptable to change.8．What is important for parrots to better survive from attacks in the wild?A．Living in a group.B．Growing beautiful feathers.C．Feeding on the ground.D．Avoiding coming out at night.9．What is parrots’ first response to an immediate risk?A．To attack back.B．To get away.C．To protect the young.D．To play dead.10．Why would a balloon frighten a parrot?A．It may explode suddenly.B．It may be in a strange shape.C．It may have a strong color.D．It may move around quickly.11．What is the author’s purpose of writing the text?A．To explain wild parrots’ behavior.B．To give advice on raising a parrot.C．To call for action to protect animals.D．To introduce a study on bird ecology.Ariel Procaccia has thought a lot about how to cut a cake over the last 15 years. As the father of three children, he knows how hard it is to divide a birthday cake to everyone’s satisfaction. But it’s also because Procaccia’s work focuses on exploring the mathematical rules for dividing stuff up fairly. One way to do that is to think abstractly about dessert.For decades, researchers have been asking the seemingly simple question of how to cut a cake fairly. The answer reaches far beyond birthday parties. A mathematical problem at its heart, cake cutting connects strict reasoning to real-world issues of fairness, and so attracts not onlymathematicians, but also social scientists, economists and more. “It’s a very elegant model in which you can distill what fairness really is, and reason about it,” Procaccia says.The simplest approach is called the “divider-chooser” method, where one person cuts the cake into two equal pieces in his view, and the other person picks first. Each receives a piece that they feel is as valuable as the other’s. But when personal preferences are taken into account, even the easiest rule becomes complicated. Suppose Alice and Bob are to divide a cake, and Alice knows Bob prefers chocolate, she may knowingly divide the cake unequally so the smaller piece contains more chocolate. Then Bob will choose according to his preference, and Alice will get the larger piece. Both of them are satisfied with what they get, but the meaning of fairness changes in this situation.The cake is a symbol for any divisible good. When cake-cutting principles are employed to settle disagreements, they are potentially helping the world find solutions. Procaccia has used fair division algorithms (算法) to model food distribution. Social scientist Haris Aziz is exploring situations ranging from how to divide up daily tasks to how to best schedule doctors’ shifts in hospitals.Even after decades of investigation, cake cutting isn’t like a simple jigsaw puzzle (拼图) with a well-defined solution. Instead, over time, it has evolved into a kind of mathematical sandbox, a constructive playground that brings together abstract proofs and easy applications. The more researchers explore it, the more there is to explore.12．What does the underlined word “distill” in paragraph 2 mean?A．Get the essence of.B．Find the opposite of.C．Keep the focus on.D．Reduce the impact on.13．What can we learn about fairness from the example given in paragraph 3?A．Its standard is stable.B．It prevents unequal division.C．Its concept is complex.D．It dominates personal preferences. 14．What is paragraph 4 mainly about concerning cake cutting?A．The application of its rules.B．The details of its process.C．The problems it produces.D．The harmony it symbolizes.15．What is the best title for the text?A．Who benefits most from fairness?B．How has fairness changed over time?C．What method works best in cake-cutting?D．Why are researchers so interested in cake-cutting?No matter how many times you go, Dubai always has something new in store for its natives and tourists. Let’s take a look at a few must-dos for your first time in this impressive city in the United Arab Emirates!●Hit the famous Dubai Mall.Any shopaholic (购物狂) worth their salt knows about the Dubai Mall, one of the most famous and the most expensive shopping centres in the world. 16 However, even if you’re not in the mood to spend your savings in hundreds of luxury stores, there are other fun options.●Mind your manners.While you’re searching for the next adventure, make sure you follow some basic rules of conduct that the local law prescribes. For example, if you’re travelling with your significant other, public displays of affection are strictly forbidden. 17 So make sure that your attitude is appropriate for the city’s expectations and cultural norms.● 18Although you’ll find many tourists wearing clothes considered not entirely polite by the locals, there are certain rules that are strictly implemented in restaurants, malls, and entertainment centres. So, if you put on something considered inappropriate or revealing, you risk being asked to leave a place.●Save some time for Jumeirah Beach.Situated conveniently close to Burj al Arab, this spectacular stretch of the coast is a perfect way to spend some time sunbathing and enjoying the warm waters of the Persian Gulf. 19 In addition, those looking to stay away from the sun can enjoy the many bars next to the beach.●Prepare your palate for Emirati cuisine.Have you ever had a chance to sample Al Machboos, camel meat, or Manousheh? Arabic cuisine has some of the most extraordinary delicacies you could possibly imagine, few of which are prepared in the same manner outside of their native lands. 20A．Jumeirah Beach is about 10 kilometres long.B．Pay attention to your dressing requirements.C．If you’re travelling with kids, you’ll find the beach perfect.D．Try the authentic Arabic coffee for a flavourful taste of the East.E．Dubai is indeed a destination packed with adventure and culture.F．Getting drunk or using offensive hand gestures are all illegal activities.G．Home to around 1,300 stores, it is a wonderful shopping place.二、完形填空While taking a 20-hour train ride along the edge of the Taklimakan Desert in northwestern China, I had the kind of humbling, educational, and above all else, wonderful 21 with a local that all travelers long for.

He enjoyed his work and traveling. But now，Mr. Cousins got sick. Because he had pushed his body to the limit of its strength on the trip, a chemical change began to take place inside him. The material between his bones became weak. In less than one week after his return, he could not stand. Every move that he made was painful. He was not able to sleep at night.The doctors told him that they did not know how to cure Mr. Cousins’ problem and he might never get over the illness. However, Mr. Cousins refused to give up hope. He thought that unhappy thoughts were causing bad chemical changes in his body. He didn’t wa nt to take medicine to cure himself. Instead, he felt that happy thoughts or laughter might cure his illness.He began to experiment on himself while still in the hospital by watching funny shows on television. Mr. Cousins quickly found that 10 minutes of real laughter during the day gave him two hours of pain-free sleep at night. After that Mr. Cousins left the hospital and checked into a hotel room where he could continue his experiments with laughter. For eight days, Mr. Cousinsrested in the hotel room watching funny shows on television, reading funny books, and sleeping whenever he felt tired.

If you haven’t, you should have. It’s here, it’s growing and it’s having an influence on our life. Surf the Internet and you’ll find blogs everywhere. A blog, shortened from “weblog”, is a public Internet journal written by one p erson or a group of people. It is a website in which a person or a group can place news, personal thoughts, text, photos, video or audio files, or links upon which visitors can comment. A blog lets you post on the Internet without having to know web design or be technical. You are given an environment to make dated entries on the topic of your choice which are “published”, so other people can read them.Authoring a blog, maintaining a blog or adding an article to an existing blog is called “blogging”. Bl ogging has revolutionized Internet publishing in the last several years because it gives everyone with Internet access the opportunity to become an online writer. Objects, such as “text and photos” in a blog can be called “blog posts”, “posts”, or “entries”. The person who posts these entries is called a “blogger”.Now, somewhere around the world, a blog is created almost every 6 seconds. Because it’s great potential, Bill Gates views it as important as e-mail, BBS, and MSN. He’s trying to make blogs the important tools for future business communications.50.

Bloy is a useful tool in communication.D You need to have an access to the Internet if you want to use blog.CWe are all called upon to make a speech at some point in life, but most of us don't do a very good job. This article gives some suggestions on how to give an effective speech.So, you have to give a speech-and you're terrified. You get nervous, you forget what you want to say, you stumble over words, you talk too long, and you bore your audience. Later you think, "Thank goodness, it's over. I'm just no good at public speaking. I hope I never have to do that again."Cheer up! It doesn't have to be that bad. Here are some simple steps to take the pain out of speech making. Ask yourself the purpose of your speech. What is the occasion? Why are you speaking? Then, gather as many facts as you can on your subject. Spend plenty of time doing your research. Then spend plenty of time organizing your material so that your speech is clear and easy to follow. Use as many examples as possible, and use pictures, charts, and graphs if they will help you make your points more clearly. Never forget your audience. Don't talk over their heads, which will make the listeners could not follow you; and don't talk down to them to let them feel bored about your speech. Treat your audience with respect. They will appreciate your thoughtfulness.Just remember: be prepared. Know your subject, your audience, and the occasion. Be brief. Say what you have to say and then stop. And be yourself. Let your personality come through so that you make person-to-person contact with your audience.If you follow these simple steps, you'll see that you don't have to be afraid of public speaking. In fact, you may find the experience so enjoyable that you volunteer to make more speeches! You're not convinced yet? Give it a try and see what happens.54. The main idea of this article is _____.A.

But Henry Ford did not start to build his first car until 1896. That was eleven years after two Germans developed the world's first automobile. Many people believe Henry Ford invented the production line that moved a car's parts to the worker, instead of making the worker move to the parts. That is not true, either. Many factory owners used methods of this kind before Ford. What Henry Ford did was to use other people's ideas and make them better. And he made the whole factory a moving production line.In the early days of the automobile, almost every car maker raced his cars. It was the best way of gaining public notice. Henry Ford decided to build a racing car. Ford's most famous race was his first one. It was also the last race in which he drove the car himself.The race was in 1901, at a field near Detroit. All of the most famous cars had entered, but only two were left: the Winton and Ford's. The Winton was famous for its speed. Most people thought the race was over before it began.The Winton took an early lead. But halfway through the race, it began to lose power. Ford started to gain. And near the end of the race, he took the lead. Ford won the race and defeated the Winton. His name appeared in newspapers and he became well known all over the United States. Within weeks of the race, Henry Ford formed a new automobile company. In 1903, a doctor in Detroit bought the first car from the company. That sale was the beginning of Henry Ford's dream. Ford said: “I will build a motor car for the great mass of ordinary people. It will be large enough for the family, but small enough for one person to operate and care for. It will bebuilt of the best materials. It will be built by the best men to be employed. And it will be built with the simplest plans that modern engineering can produce. It will be so low in price that no man making good money will be unable to own one.”57. What do we know about Henry Ford from Paragraph 1 ?A. He made good use of ideas from others.B. He produced the first car in the world.C. He knew how to improve auto parts.D. He invented the production line.58. Why did Henry Ford hold a car race?A. To show off his driving skills.B. To draw public attention.C. To learn about new technology.D. To raise money for his new company.59. “That sale” in Paragraph 4 refers to ________.A. the selling of Ford cars at reduced pricesB. the sale of Model T to the mass of peopleC. the selling of a car to a Detroit doctorD. the sales target for the Ford Company60. What was Henry Ford's dream according to the text?A. Producing cars for average customers.B. Building racing cars of simple design.C. Designing more car models.D. Starting more companies.第二节He lived his whole life as a poor man. His art and talent were recognized by almost no one. He suffered from a mental illness that led him to cut off part of his left ear in 1888 and to shoot himself two years later. __61__ Today, Dutch artist Van Gogh is recognized as one of the leading artists of all time.Now, 150 years after his birth on March 30, 1853, Zundert, the town of his birth, has made 2003 “The Van Gogh Year” in his honor. __62__ It draws around 1.3 million visitors every year. Some people enjoy the art and then learn about his life. Others are first interested in his life, which then helps them understand his art.Van Gogh was the son of a minister. He left school when he was just 15. By the age of 27, he had already tried many jobs including an art gallery salesman and a French teacher. __63__ __64__ His style is marked by short, broad brush strokes (绘画笔法). “Instead of trying to reproduce exactly what I have before my eyes, I use colour more freely, in order to express myself more forcibly,” he wrote in a letter to his brother in 1888.Van Gogh sold only one painting during his short life. He relied heavily on support from his brother, an art dealer who lived in Paris. __65__ His “Portrait of Dr. Gachet” sold for US$ 89.5 million in 1990. It is the highest price ever paid for a painting. “I think hi s paintings are powerful and the brilliant colours in them are attractive to people,” said a van Gogh’s fan.A. But in his death, he achieved world fame.B. But now his works are sold for millions of dollars.C. Finally in 1880, he decided to begin his studies in art.D.
