The girls involved are advocating and fundraising for the project.Sammy Firkins, Gwen Newport and Annie Son will talk about their idea to generate solar electricity at Jason Lee Middle School in a panel discussion organized by Generation 180. In 2019, the three of them teamed up with their science teacher, Kathy Hall, to push for solar panels to be installed. Hall, who uses solar power at her own house, said it’s long been a dream of hers. The school would be the first in the Tacoma district to use solar energy.The girls presented their idea to Gov. Jay Inslee’s STEM Education Innovation Alliancemeeting in early 2019 and received enthusiastic support. They then spoke to the Tacoma school board and obtained buy-in from the district, though they were told the district did not have the roughly $ 200,000 for the 277 solar panels and that they would have to fundraise. They’ve since raised more than half that amount through grants and individual donations.Gwen Newport said she’s always cared a lot about environmental issues and that she’s troubled that climate change does not get the attention it deserves. “At this point, I feel like it’s kind of been given to my generation almost as our responsibility now and so being able to be a part of this project and take action is really important to me,” she said.The solar panels have not been installed at the school yet. But Hall said she estimates that the project will reduce the school’s power costs by about $ 14,000 a year, and that it also will serve an educational purpose. “We will have live data always streaming available so that people can see how the panels are working and how they relate to the amount of electricity we’re using, and it will be an incredible learning tool,” she said.8．What is Generation 180?A．It is the name of the girls’ team.B．It is a project to use solar power.C．It is a nonprofit environmental group.D．It is a student-led push to install solar panels.9．What is the third paragraph mainly about?A．The girls raised enough money for the project.B．The Tacoma school board rejected the project.C．The girls made great efforts to fulfill the project.D．The district covered the expenses of solar panels.10．How does Gwen Newport feel about climate change?A．Confident.B．Concerned.C．Relieved.D．Content. 11．What is the main purpose of the project?A．To advocate for donations.B．To serve as a learning tool.C．To protect the environment.D．To cut down the school’s expenses.Cyberbullying (网络霸凌) has become quite severe across the United States. But what exactly is cyber-bullying? It’s when someone repeatedly and intentionally harasses (侵扰), humiliates (羞辱), mistreats, makes fun of, or threatens another person online or while using cell phones or other electronic devices.According to a recent Pew Research Center survey, 59% of U. S. teens have experienced at least one of six identified types of abusive online behaviors. Those behaviors include name-calling (42%), having false rumors spread about them on the internet (32%), receiving explicit images that they didn’t ask for (25%), or being the target of physical threats (16%).The peers of some teens have even posted humiliating web pages or videos, or created embarrassing images on social media platforms. Others have taken unauthorized (未授权的) photos or videos in a bedroom, bathroom, or another location considered private, and posted them online for the world to view, rate, share, and discuss.There are many reasons to monitor your son or daughter’s online behavior and pay close attention to the warning signs. Among the most worrisome, students who experienced bullying or cyberbullying are significantly more likely to attempt to take their own life.“If your child suddenly has no interest in their electronic devices, appears jumpy or nervous while using their phone, or appears angry, frustrated, or depressed after going online or gaming, then they may be experiencing cyberbullying,” says Sameer Hinduja, Ph. D．, co-director of the Cyberbullying Research Center and professor of Criminology at Florida Atlantic University. Also, if your child avoids conversations about what they’re doing online, becomes unusually secretive when it comes to their phone or electronic devices, or makes excuses to stay home from school, they may be the target of online bullying.12．What is the purpose of citing the numbers in the second paragraph?A．To show the emphasis from the society.B．To display how cyberbullying works on children.C．To show the severeness of cyberbullying on children.D．To show how researchers conduct their survey.13．Which of the following doesn’t belong to cyberbullying?A．Name-calling teens on the Internet.B．Spreading false rumors of teens online.C．Posting pictures online for the world to view.D．Posting humiliating web pages or videos of teens.14．What can we conclude from Sameer Hinduja’s words?A．Students will lose interest in their electronic after surfing online.B．Students will get angry easily after they surf on the Internet.C．Parents must closely monitor their teenagers’ online behavior.D．There are signs whether teenagers are experiencing cyberbullying.15．Who is the article most probably targeting at?A．Parents.B．Teenagers.C．Teachers.D．Experts.Things to Expect from Your Peer Tutoring SessionPeer(同龄人) tutoring is one of the most helpful tools to use during your college years Sometimes, you will not have all the answers and that you may need help. There is probably no better way to get some academic assistance than that from your fellow students. 16 Expect constructive criticismThis will probably be the most uncomfortable part of the session. Tutors are being harsh(严厉的) with you not because they want to be mean and ruin your existence. 17 The only way for then to ensure this is to be completely honest with you.Expect changeYou will have the appointment with a changed perspective on your work and your method of completing it. Every tutor has a different learning style and teaching style that is unique to them, but it is up to you to use what they teach you to your best ability. If a tutor teaches you how to solve a math problem in a way that makes sense to you, but is also different from what you have learned in class, you will have to use that method because it works for you. 18 Expect discipline (sometimes)19 We are humans, it happens. It is nothing to be ashamed of. However, if a tutor notices that you have been slacking off(懈怠), don’t be surprised if they call you out on it. Your tutor wants you to use your potential to do the great things that they know you are capable of.Expect improvementLast but not least expect to improve. 20 Once you practice what yon have learned in the session, you will notice a rapid change in your grades and your learning ability. If you ask me, I think that is completely worthy of an A+.A．Your work in the future will change.B．Change is good and is nothing to be afraid of.C．Sometimes, we all try to get by with a little less.D．Feel fortunate that your peer tutor is recognizing your mistakes.E．They simply want you to be the best of the best to your best ability.F．Peer tutoring can be difficult, but its ultimate goal is for you to improve.G．Peer tutors are understanding, helpful, and especially honest enough to help you out.二、完形填空Robeson was born in a very poor family.

2021-2022学年黑龙江省大庆市大庆中学高二下学期期末考试英语试题1. If you are crazy about paintings, you shouldn’t miss the following four famous masterpieces which have stood the test of time.The Arnolfini PortraitJan van Eyck’s Arnolfini Portrait, an oil painting on wood produced in 1434, in which a man and a woman hold hands with a window behind him and a bed behind her, is undoubtedly one of the masterpieces in the National Gallery, London. This painting is as visually interesting as it is famed. It is also an informative document on fifteenth-century society, through van Eyck’s heavy use of symbolism—while husbands went out to engage in business, wives concerned themselves with domestic duties.The Starry NightVincent van Gogh painted The Starry Night, oil on canvas(帆布), a moderately abstract landscape painting of an expressive night sky over a small hillside village, during his 12-month stay at the mental hospital near Saint-Rémy -de-Provence, France between 1889 and 1890. When the Museum of Modern Art in New York City purchased the painting from a private collector in 1941, it was not well known, but it has since become one of van Gogh’s most famous works.The HarvestersThe Harvesters is an oil painting on wood completed by Pieter Bruegel the Elder in 1565. It depicts the harvest time which most commonly occurred within the months of August and September. Nicolaes Jonghelinck, a merchant banker and art collector from Antwerp, commissioned this painting. The painting has been at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City since 1919.GuernicaGuernica, a large black-and-white oil painting, was painted by the Cubist Spanish painter, Pablo Picasso in 1937. The title “Guernica” refers to the city that wa s bombed by Nazi planes during the Spanish Civil War. The painting depicts the horrors of war and as a result, has come to be an anti-war symbol and a reminder of the tragedies of war. Today, the painting is housed at the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofaí in Madrid.1. Which of the following paintings was produced earliest?A．The Arnolfini Portrait B．The Starry Night.C．The Harvesters. D．Guernica.2. What do we know about the painting The Starry Night?A．It was painted on wood in oil.B．It wasn’t widely recognized before 1941.C．It described the painter’s life in hospital.D．It was given away to the museum by a collector.3. Who created the painting describing the tragedy of war?A．Pieter Bruegel the Elder. B．Vincent van Gogh.C．Jan van Eyck. D．Pablo Picasso.2. It was five years ago that something unforgettable happened. My wife and I celebrated our 40th wedding anniversary that year. It was a lovely event hosted by our sons for us. My wonderful friends from the past surprised us with gifts and congratulations. Our gift to each other was a driving trip out west. We drove from Ontario into Alberta, then southward into Glacier National Park in Montana, and continued to Yellowstone National Park.It was a cold spring day, and the Beartooth Highway had opened for the season just days before. Alongside the road, there was still a great amount of snow there. The scenery was so impressive that we made lots of stops to record memories with my camera. At the highest point of the highway, I stopped at a lookout to catch the amazing views, with my wife in the centre of my camera lens.There were not many cars on the road. Sometimes, cars with energetic young tourists passed by. And then we heard a motorcycle in the distance. The driver of the motorcycle, who wore dirty clothes, parked behind our cars. As he approached us, his only words were, “Give me your camera and g et over there with your wife.” I must admit I felt nervous that we might be robbed where we just created some beautiful memories. Surprisingly, he just took a picture of us, handed back my camera and rode off before we could express our gratitude. The photo he took is one of the most valuable and prized of our trip.I learned my lesson somewhere I least expected it. We should never judge a man by his appearance. If the motorcycle driver reads this story and remembers the situation, we would like to say “Tha nk you” to him.1. According to the passage, what do we know about the trip?A．It was taken by train to the west.B．It was a suggestion from their friends.C．It was in the late autumn five years ago.D．It was a gift for their wedding anniversary.2. Why was the author nervous when the motorcycle driver offered to take a picture?A．He could have lost the camera.B．His wife might not be satisfied with the view there.C．The motorcycle driver would borrow the camera.D．The motorcycle driver might not be good at the taking pictures.3. Which of the following best describes the driver of the motorcycle?A．Kind and straightforward. B．Rich and generous.C．Creative and capable. D．Careful and admirable.4. Which of the following can be concluded from the passage?A．No pains, no gains.B．Seeing is believing.C．Don’t judge a book by its cover.D．The longest journey begins with the first step.3. “Do not tell anyone”. We often hear these words when someone tells us a secret. But keeping a secret is hard. We’re often tempted（引诱）to “spill the beans”, even if we regret it later.According to the professor, Asim Shah, keeping a secret may well “become a burden”. This is because people often have an “eager and anxious urge（冲动）to share it with someone”. An earl ier study, led by Anita, a scientist at the University of Notre Dame, US, suggested that keeping a secret could cause stress. People entrusted（托付）with secrets can suffer from depression, anxiety, and body aches, reported the Daily Mail.Secrets are so often getting out. Why do people share them at all? Shah explained that people often feel that it will help them keep a person as a friend. Another reason people share secrets is guilt over keeping it from someone close to them. A sense of distrust can develop when people who are close do not share it with each other. “Keeping or sharing secrets often puts people in a position of either gaining or losing the trust of someone, ”according to Shah.He added that talkative people could let secrets slip out. But thi s doesn’t mean that it is a good idea only to share secrets with quiet people. A quiet person may be someone who keeps everything inside. To tell such a person a secret may cause them stress, and make them talk about the secret.Shah said that to judge whe ther to tell someone a secret, you’d better put yourself in their position, Think about how you would feel to be told that you mustn’t give the information away. Shah also recommended that if you accidentally give up someone’s secret you should come clean about it. Let the person know that their secret isn’t so secret anymore.1. Why does the author say keeping a secret may “become a burden”?A．Because people are born not to be able to keep secrets.B．Because when people have secrets, their bodies ache.C．Because keeping secrets is certain to cause depression.D．Because keeping secrets could probably be harmful to health.2. How many reasons have been mentioned in Paragraph 3 why people tend to share secrets?A．2. B．3. C．4. D．5.3. What does the underl ined words “spill the beans” mean?A．To fall by accident. B．To let out secrets on purpose.C．To spread secrets to everyone around. D．To give away secrets unintentionally.4. What can we learn from the passage?A．Quiet people are more likely to keep the secrets to themselves.B．Sharing secrets helps establish friendship or get over the, sense of guilt.C．Putting yourself in others’ shoes helps realize the importance of keeping secrets.D．A person who is asked to keep a secret will suffer from psychological problems only.4. Global warming is the increase of the earth’s average surface temperature due to the effect of greenhouse gases, for example, carbon dioxide, which traps heat that would otherwise escape from the earth. After the trees are cut down and more greenhouse gases are released. the “blanket” around the earth called the ozone layer（臭氧层）, will get thicker. This catches more heat and makes the earth hotter. Luckily, there are many things that every citizen of the earth can do to help reduce the effects of global warming, and it’s never too late or too early for children to take action.The children should learn what a carbon footprint is. A carbon footprint is the amount of carbon and greenhouse gases people make as they lead the daily life and go about the normal activities. In other words, the carbon footprint is a measure of the environmental impact（冲击）the life has. To live an environmentally friendly life that doesn’t contribute to global warming, people-want to have the smallest carbon footprint possible.Almost everything people do contributes to global warming and is related to fossil fuel consumption. These can be direct uses of fossil fuels, like riding in a gasoline-powered car, or indirect contributions to greenhouse gases, such as eating fruits or vegetables that have to be shipped from far way to reach their tables.If a child wants to make a contribution to reducing global warming, he should ride a bicycle to the near park, school, his friend’s house, or anywhere else instead of tak ing the car. Or he may try to walk or jog, which is also helpful. In addition, although trains and buses often run on fossil fuels, on average, each person uses less energy and produces less pollution to run. Next time if children with their parents have t o get around town or it’s too far to walk or bike, take the bus or other public transportation instead of asking for a ride.1. What is the main reason for global warming?A．Too much greenhouse gases are released.B．The ozone layer has caught more heat.C．Much more ozone layer has been released.D．The increase of the earth’s inner temperature results in the global warming.2. What is the main idea of Paragraph 2?A．Life has an impact on carbon footprint.B．The definition of a carbon footprint.C．People should live an environmental friendly life.D．People make a huge amount of carbon and greenhouse gases.3. The author wants to write the passage for_________D．adults A．children B．parents C．childreneducators4. What can be a suitable title for the text?A．What Can People Do To Use Less Energy?B．Why Global Warming Affects Humans’ Life?C．How Can Kids Help Reduce Global Warming?D．How Does Carbon Footprints Measure Pollution?5. Technology sometimes goes wrong. And the more you use technology, the more you know it can go wrong. A connection drops. A printer will not print. An app crashes or a cell phone battery drains too fast. 1 First reactions may be to scream, throw the device against the wall, or cry. Instead, you may be able to solve the problem by yourself. By following these steps, you could solve some of the most common tech problems on your own.Search the webLearn about your tech problem on a search website, such as Google. 2 Find expert articles about solving the problem. If your issue is with recent tech, such as a software update, be sure to look for the most recent articles. Tech tips from years ago may not work now.Check connection speedMaybe you find that streaming, downloading and updating are moving slowly. 3 You may think something is wrong with your device when, really, your network is just slow.UpdatesCheck for updates to make sure you have the most recent version of apps and software. You might be experiencing a problem from a bug that has been fixed in an update. But if you have not yet updated to the latest version you may miss the solution.4When your computer, phone or tablet is having issues, simply turn it off. Sometimes, software or app updates make your device turned off and restarted to work properly.Ask the developer5 If they do not have the answer, they still will be glad to know the problem exists. They cannot fix what they do not know is a problem.6.

It was shot on the evening of December 15, 2023. While he knew about NASA’s competition, he hadn’t considered participating until receiving much encouragement from his social media followers. Soon after, he received the message, “Your image has been chosen as the astronomical photo of the day.” It was incredible!In a photo like this, nothing is left to luck. The concept came to him back in 2017. Walking on the hills north of Turin, he found several spots perfect for including both the Basilica of Superga Palace and Mountain Monviso. After numerous visits over several months, he identified four spots where Superga and Monviso line up just right.After exactly finding these locations, he experimented with shooting them at different times. “I knew I needed something special to perfect the photo. The Sun was a no-go, so I turned to the Moon. Its various phases (位相) and positions reach an azimuth angle (方位角) of 230 degrees,” Valerio said. With this in mind, he researched the Moon’s phases, marked potential dates on the calendar, and planned the exact moments when the moon could join the queue.It was very successful, especially because the Moon was in a waning phase. This meant that in the photo, not only was its crescent (新月) lit up, but so was the left part, its shadowed side. That part is lit by reflected light, also known as Da Vinci’s glow, named after him because he was the one who theorized about why the Moon’s shadowed side is brightened. During the early days of the waning Moon phases, the shadowed part is visible because the Sun’s light reflects off the Earth and hits the Moon’s shadowed side, giving it a greyish, silvery color. This allowed the light to outline Monviso on the left as well.4．Why did Valerio send the photo to NASA?A．He developed an interest in astronomical advances.B．He expected to encourage followers on social media.C．He received broad support from enthusiastic fans.D．He got a message of invitation from NASA．5．In Valerio’s photo, the three objects ________.A．shine light on each other B．stand in a straight lineC．fit each other in size D．vary from usual in color6．What did Valerio do to prepare for the perfect photo?A．Studying how the Moon phase changes.B．Pay numerous visits to the spots for good luckC．Analyzing when to adjust the camera angle.D．Measuring the height of the observation point.7．What was lit up by the Da Vinci’s glow?A．The outline of the crescent.B．The outline of Superga.C．The dark side of the Moon.D．The shadowed side of the Earth.Geologists have long been fascinated by a missing piece of Earth’s history — a lostcontinent called Argoland. Around 155 million years ago, the 5,000-kilometer continent broke off from Western Australia and began drifting (漂移), leaving behind a basin deep below the ocean known as the Argo Abyssal Plain. But where did Argoland actually go?The seabed structure suggests that the continent drifted northwestward and ended up Southeast Asia. But surprisingly, there is no large continent hidden beneath those islands, only small continental fragments (碎片) surrounded by ancient oceanic basins. Using this theory, geologists at Utrecht University discovered that Argoland hadn’t really disappeared but survived as a “very extended and fragmented collection” under the islands to the east of Indonesia.Unlike other continents like Africa and South America, which broke neatly into two pieces, Argoland split into many smaller fragments that were dispersed, which made it difficult for scientists to locate and study the continent’s geological features. However, with advanced technology and the discovery, scientists can now piece them together.Tracing the continents is vital for understanding processes like the evolution of biodiversity. It could help explain something known as the mysterious Wallace line, which is an imaginary boundary that separates mammals, birds, and even early human species in Southeast Asian islands. The boundary has puzzled scientists because of how clearly it separates the island’s wildlife. To the west of the line are placental mammals (胎盘哺乳动物) like apes and elephants. But these are almost completely absent to the east, where you can find animals typically associated with Australia. Researchers have theorized that this may be because Argoland carried its own wildlife away from Australia before it crashed into Southeast Asia, which helps explain why different species are found in different nations.The story of Argoland is not one of complete disappearance but of transformation. As the world continues to evolve, this lost continent serves as a powerful symbol of the breakability of life on this planet, and a reminder of the importance of respecting and protecting the world that we live in.8．What do we know about Argoland?A．It split into two pieces many years ago.B．It broke away from the African continent.C．It sank to the bottom of the Argo Abyssal Plain.D．It exists as fragments under the eastern islands of Indonesia.9．What does the underlined word “dispersed” in paragraph 3 probably mean?A．Crashed.B．Distributed.C．Connected.D．Distinguished. 10．Why does the author mention the “Wallace line” in paragraph 4?A．To explain an unsolved mystery for scientist.B．To stress the significance of tracing Argoland.C．To prove the biodiversity of Southeast Asian islands.D．To introduce the evolutionary process of Australian species.11．Which of the following is the best title for the text?A．The Discovery of a Lost Continent B．The Mysterious Disappearance of Argoland C．The Theory of Fragments Drifting D．The Breakability of Life on the EarthWhen we encounter a troublesome problem, we often gather a group to brainstorm. However, substantial evidence has shown that when we generate ideas together, we fail to maximize collective intelligence.To unearth the hidden potential in teams, we’re better off shifting to a process called “brainwriting”. You start by asking group members to write down what is going on in their brains separately. Next, you pool them and share them among the group without telling the authors. Then, each member evaluates them on his or her own, only after which do the team members come together to select and improve the most promising options. By developing and assessing ideas individually before choosing and expanding on them, the team can surface and advance possibilities that might not get attention otherwise.An example of great brainwriting was in 2010 when 33 miners were trapped underground in Chile. Given the urgency of the situation, the rescue team didn’t hold brainstorming sessions. Rather, they established a global brainwriting system to generate individual ideas. A 24-year-old engineer came up with a tiny plastic telephone. This specialized tool ended up becoming the only means of communicating with the miners, making it possible to save them.Research by organizational behavior scholar Anita Woolley and her colleagues helps to explain why this method works. They find that the key to collective intelligence is balanced participation. In brainstorming meetings, it’s too easy for participation to become one-sided in favor of the loudest voices. The brainwriting process ensures that all ideas are brought to the tableand all voices are brought into conversation. The goal isn’t to be the smartest person in the room. It’s to make the room smarter.Collective intelligence begins with individual creativity, but it doesn’t end there. Individuals produce a greater volume and variety of novel ideas when they work alone. That means they not only come up with more brilliant ideas than groups but also more terrible ideas. Therefore, it takes collective judgment to find the signal in the noise and bring out the best ideas.12．What is special about brainwriting compared with brainstorming?A．It highlights independent work.B．It encourages group cooperation.C．It prioritizes quality over quantity.D．It prefers writing to oral exchanges. 13．Why does the author mention the Chile mining accident in paragraph 3?A．To introduce a tool developed during brainwriting.B．To praise a young man with brainwriting technique.C．To illustrate a successful application of brainwriting.D．To explain the role of brainwriting in communication.14．How does brainwriting promote collective intelligence according to paragraph 4?A．By blocking the loudest voices.B．By allowing equal involvement.C．By improving individual wisdom.D．By generating more creative ideas. 15．Which step of brainwriting does the author stress in the last paragraph?A．Individual writing.B．Group sharing.C．Personal evaluation.D．Joint discussion.Accents in EnglishAccents are fascinating and usually come with kinds of information. 16 . So many people, especially actors, are interested in learning accents.Thanks to the development of technology, various handy accesses are available for people to share and pick up accents. English actor and accent coach Sarah Valentine is an expert in teaching the tones which can change the English language. 17 .Valentine has been working in TV since the 1990s. She appears to have found success coaching other actors to speak in a variety of dialects. 18 , TikTok is a medium to educate the masses. Valentine’s TikTok takes simple phrases, such as “I’m hungry” or “the milk smellsfunny”. Valentine then repeats these simple words in accents including German, Dutch, and New York. She also highlights the rich variety of dialects within the UK, including Yorkshire, Scouse, Cockney, Geordie, Welsh, and Northern Irish.“ 19 ,” James Lantolf, a professor at Penn State, said. “Isolated (偏僻的) areas, such as New Orleans, develop different dialects. Since there is no contact between regions, entire words and languages can grow and develop independently. Social standing and education also affect the language of an individual person.” It is thought that accents have psycho-social purposes, allowing individuals to identify oneself and others as part of a group.Everyone has an accent. A dialect coach like Valentine can help one learn to speak differently, for an acting job or for fun. 20 . Learning a second language as an adult is difficult; for much the same reason, it’s tricky to change your accent. With that in mind, watching Valentine change accents at the drop of a hat is all the more impressive.A．In fact, all accents are worthy of prideB．One’s birthplace can affect his accentC．However, not all accents are worth learningD．While much work with actors is done in one-on-one coachingE．They can signal one’s living places, education and personalityF．On TikTok, she gives examples of simple phrases repeated in over 20 accentsG．A region’s location has a direct influence on the development of a local language二、完形填空Novels.

黑龙江省大庆实验中学2022-2023学年高二上学期10月月考英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解It’s Thanksgiving, which means a lot of family time. Here are some movies that will be fun for the whole family.The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 2 – Since the book series is so popular, and so is Jennifer Lawrence, you’re likely to have someone in the family who wants to go to the theaters to finish the games. This one tests the limits of PG-13 (适合13岁以上的电影) in its intensity, though, so be careful of that if you’re taking some little ones.Rating: PG-13 for intense sequences (镜头) of violence and action, and for some thematic materialAvailability: In theaters everywhereThe Good Dinosaur– Another great choice for adults and kids alike, Pixar’s latest offering goes back millions of years when dinosaurs weren’t destroyed by a small planet that hit Earth. We follow a little dinosaur named Arlo who must learn to face his fears when he gets separated from his family. It’s a touching story for the whole family, so make sure you bring some tissues (纸巾) for the tears that will eventually come out of your face.Rating: PG for peril (危险), action and thematic clementsAvailability: In theaters everywhereLove the Coopers – Olivia Wilde stars in what is this year’s family Christmas comedy that deals with the trials (考验) and sufferings of not being able to choose your relatives. This one doesn’t have a great Rotten Tomatoes score at 21%, but I’ve heard that it’s pretty charming nonetheless thanks to Wilde.Rating: PG-13 for thematic elements, language and some sexualityAvailability: In theaters cverywhereInside Out – Pixar’s summer release is a funny, beautiful tale of growing up and dealing with the complicated emotions inside your head. After seeing this one a couple of times, it quickly rose up to be my second favorite Pixar movie of all-time (behind The Incredibles). Honestly, it’s better than The Good Dinosaur. If you don’t feel like heading to the theaters, just pick this one up to watch at home.Rating: PG for mild thematic elements and some actionAvailability: Blu-Ray, DVD and VODNote: PG stands for parental guidance, which suggested some material may not be suitable for children.1．The most touching movie is about how to ________.A．finish one’s games B．face one’s fearsC．choose one’s relatives D．handle complicated emotions 2．What do these movies have in common?A．They are all suitable for family entertainment.B．They all have a good Rotten Tomatoes score.C．They are all on show in every theater.D．They all star famous actors and actresses.3．What’s the writer’s favorite degree of the movies?A．Inside Out>The Good Dinosaur>The IncrediblesB．The Good Dinosaur>The Incredibles> Love the CoopersC．The Incredibles>Inside Out>The Good DinosaurD．Love the Coopers>Inside Out>The Good DinosaurI was feeling splendid this morning! When approaching the bakery I saw a man asking for coins. I’ve often seen him and usually don’t react well to his whiney (嘀咕不停的) tone of his voice. This time I decided I’d give him something. After I’d paid for my tea-to-go, I got a 5 Euro bill ready. Leaving the store really slowly so he’d have a good chance to approach me, I nearly ran into him.“Would you maybe have some coins for me?” He asked.I said, “No, sorry, I don’t,” and watched his face fall already at what he thought was a refusal, one of many thousands he probably gets each day.“I only have this for you”, I said and held the bill in front of his eyes. The way his jaw nearly fell and his eyes widened were priceless.“Err… wow!” he said, doing a double-take. “That’s really… Thanks.”“No problem,” I said. “I’m doing well at the moment, and I wanted to share it—have a good day!”And I walked away. Actually, I walked away leisurely (悠闲地), and I did giggle andlaugh out loud for the next 200 meters. Really, you should have seen his face. He totally had not seen that coming! The joy, I think, did not just come from the fact that I love being generous. It also came from breaking up his expectations of what would happen, to allow for that tiny moment of amazement.4．How did the beggar feel when the writer said “No”?A．Worried.B．Surprised.C．Disappointed.D．Grateful. 5．The underlined phrase “doing a double-take” indicates that the beggar ________.A．wasn’t used to being refused B．hesitated before reactionC．accepted my offer immediately D．understood me without difficulty 6．The author’s delight doubled because ________.A．the beggar didn’t expect so much money B．he was attracted by the beggar’s face C．he found the beggar was blind D．the beggar wished him a good day 7．What kind of person is the author?A．He’s always generous to people in need.B．He enjoys making fun of poor people.C．He lacks sympathy for the poor.D．He can find happiness from little things.It’s called the Bank of Happiness, but it has nothing to do with money. Founded a year ago in Estonia’s capital Tallinn, it’s a forum in which more than 2,000 members from Estonia and other countries connect to offer or receive services free of charge.The site carries more than 500 ads in English, German and Estonian from people offering or seeking all kinds of things, including teaching and tips on cooking. The website is also translated into French and Spanish.Founder Airi Kivi says the goal is to make people think and act with their hearts. “After the worldwide outbreak of the pandemic, I thought, ‘Wow, our bank is perfect for the crisis and a lot of people are unemployed and they can use it to harvest what they need.’”So how does it work? It’s simple: You sign up using your real name and post what you are offering or what your need is, as long as it doesn’t involve money or products.Masseuse Terge Reintem says she signed up when she was unemployed because she needed to improve her skills by learning from others. But she stayed on even after finding a new job because she says it feels good to volunteer. “If I discover a new technique, I want my bank customers to first experience it,” Reintem says, adding they are often nicer than the paying ones.Member Veronika Davel says she infringed the rules with her first request when she asked for a product: a computer. But she did it unknowingly. Later, she began offering services of her own on the bank’s website. “The main thing I really could offer was English,” Davel explains. “There was a young girl who needed to have better English for her job and I gave her a hand.”The site has many more offers of help than requests for it. That’s as it should be, Kivi says, adding that the bigger reward comes from giving.8．How can the Bank of Happiness benefit its members?A．They can help each other at no cost.B．They can place ads for their products.C．They can travel to many countries for free.D．They can read much news about happiness.9．What does the underlined word mean in paragraph 6?A．Obeyed.B．Broke.C．Made.D．Bent. 10．Why does Reintem keep serving the bank?A．To improve her skills.B．To win more customers.C．To enjoy the helpfulness.D．To learn new techniques.11．How does the writer introduce the bank?A．By using specific data.B．By giving examples.C．By referring to common knowledge.D．By using comparison and contrast.Space tourism is the term used to describe space travel for recreational or leisure purposes. What was once only a dream, as described in A Space Odyssey by Arthur C．Clarke, is now becoming a reality.Futurologists attempt to make predictions of what life will be like in the future. After the first man landed on the moon, they thought that hotels would be built on the moon by the year 2000. They also considered the possibility that, in the 21st century, families might go for a holiday on the moon. Neither of these predictions have come true yet-but the rapid development of technology may mean these predictions are possible in the years to come.Space Adventures is currently the only company to have succeeded in sending paying passengers into space. It worked with the Federal Space Agency of Russia and Rocket and Space Corporation Energia to provide flights for the world’s first private space explorers. Each paid over $20 million for their 10-day trip to the International Space Station.Following successful explorations into space, other companies are now considering the possibility of enabling tourists to visit space. To make it affordable, suborbital space travel is being considered by some companies, like Virgin Galactic. Passengers would be transported to a height of between 100 and 160 km above earth, experience 3 — 6 minutes of weightlessness and a view of the stars before back to earth. This is expected to cost around $200, 000 per person.Whilst it could be an enriching experience, there are some disadvantages. Many critics say that a huge growth in the spaceflight industry could drastically speed up the process of global warming. The ozone layer would be damaged further and the polar regions would suffer. In addition, space travel is only really affordable for the super-rich, though Virgin Galactic claims to be ‘opening space to the rest of us’.12．What do you know about space tourism?A．It is nothing but a dream.B．It’s only in some fairy tales.C．It’s a sightseeing tour in space.D．It’s a scientific expedition.13．What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?A．The future life on the moon.B．Landing on the moon in 1969.C．Predictions about trips to the moon.D．The history of the moon exploration. 14．Why is suborbital space travel considered possible?A．It’s cheaper.B．It’s safer.C．It’s greener.D．It’s convenient. 15．What is some critics’ major concern about space tourism?A．Its safety.B．Environmental effect.C．Social equality.D．Its expense.二、七选五Phone addiction has a number of negative effects. Here are some ways to remove it.In order not to look at your phone as soon as you wake up in the morning, place your phone in another room or your coat pocket. Then spend at least the first 30 minutes of your day building good habits. 16Studies show that on average we use the phone 50 to 150 times a day. So you should do something meaningful to avoid looking at it. You could do some reading, do a crossword puzzle or even something as simple as a walk in the yard. 17One of the main problems with smart phones is that you worry if you don't check your phone regularly, you may miss out on something important, such as invitations to events or work emails. 18 When someone has something important to tell you, they may give you a call. Therefore, it is necessary to stay away from your phone sometimes.What's going on in the real world, right in front of you, is almost always more important than what is happening online. Put away your phone when you are with someone important.19 For example, having dinner with friends will become awkward when you always check your phone.20 That is because being addicted to the phone before going to bed greatly influences your sleep. This can harm your physical and mental health in the long run. Therefore, make it a rule to stop using your phone an hour before you go to sleep.A．Ask your friends or family for help.B．However, it is almost never the case.C．Anything helping you get rid of your phone is OK.D．Your smart phone has almost every tool that you need.E．A good rest should be more important than your phone at night.F．This could be exercise like a morning run or cooking a good breakfast.G．Many relationships have suffered because of our addiction to the phone.三、完形填空Beer is the founder of United Hatzalah, a volunteer-run organization in Israel, devoted to saving lives. Every year many people die from waiting for an ambulance (救护车) to arriveand stages of life and trained them to respond to emergencies. He then gave each of them adaily lives.United Hatzalah has a call center staffed 26 by volunteers. When someone calls to tell them of an emergency, they answer it in three seconds or less. Then Beer’s technology calculates (计算) which volunteer is closest to the 27 . As soon as that volunteer is notified he or she 28 everything and rushes over.When a volunteer arrives, he or she 29 CPR (心肺复苏) if necessary, and uses the medical equipment in the motorcycle to help the ill or 30 . The goal is 31 : Keep the patient alive until the regular ambulance arrives. According to Beer, an ambulance’s average response time is 12 to 15 minutes, while United Hatzalah volunteers 32 in three minutes.United Hatzalah’s medical care is 33 for patients because it’s run mostly by volunteers, and donations cover the 34 of supplies and staff. It clearly shows the 35 of individuals willing to use their abilities to help others.21．A．lost B．crashed C．hit D．stuck 22．A．joined B．aided C．employed D．gathered 23．A．professions B．structures C．levels D．titles 24．A．properties B．demands C．orders D．supplies 25．A．alone B．back C．off D．down 26．A．entirely B．slightly C．probably D．literally 27．A．stage B．scene C．direction D．mission 28．A．drops B．defeats C．cheats D．seizes 29．A．assigns B．indicates C．performs D．treats 30．A．terrified B．injured C．attacked D．endangered 31．A．remarkable B．achievable C．simple D．unique 32．A．come up B．end up C．show up D．stay up 33．A．worthless B．chargeable C．priceless D．free 34．A．reward B．cost C．salary D．income 35．A．power B．honor C．courage D．energy四、单项选择36．The article is well ________ reading, but it is not ________ of being translated.A．worth; worthy B．worthy; worthC．worth; worthwhile D．worthwhile; worth37．Blamed for the failure to accomplish the task, Tom was ________ bad mood.

It allows you to see what has led you here and, hopefully, how society has changed and improved.Take, for instance, my career goal. First, I wanted, in 1999, to be a “farmer”, soon archaeologist, then driving instructor and somewhere along the way, footballer.I had grown up in a football-loving family. I remember the exact moment when I said “I’m sad I can’t be a footballer” while watching the game with Dad as a pre-teen. He asked why not. “Because I’m not a boy.” He immediately responded, “You can, if you want to.” “Yeah, I suppose so,” I sighed, “but no one watches women’s football.”Looking back, I can see exactly why I felt like that. At school, there was an unwritten rule that sports like hockey and netball were “girl” sports and rugby and football were for the boys. I’d never seen a women’s football match on TV. You see, you can’t be what you can’t see, and lack of representation leads, at best, to misunderstanding, and at worst, fear and negative opinions.Today, the Lionesses will take on Scotland in the World Cup, and people across the world will tune in — over 950,000 tickets have been sold so far. But, although women’s football is one of FIFA’s best investments — with a pound for pound return, the majority of female players are earning under a fair wage. Some argue that’s because viewing statistics are lower than those of men’s, but the rise in support shows the demand is there. Hopefully, more investment will push female football forward.Today, I’ll be cheering on the Lionesses, because it’ll mean talented, skillful female footballers being broadcast into millions of homes and maybe, just maybe, a little girl believing that she can also be a Lioness one day.4．Which of the following best describes the author’s career goals?A．Realistic.B．Changeable.C．Consistent.D．Long-sought.5．Why didn’t the author believe she could be a footballer?A．She was not talented enough.B．People lost faith in women’s football.C．Girls were forbidden to play football.D．She had no example to follow.6．What can we know about women’s football from Paragraph 5?A．It’s better paid than men’s.B．It is increasingly popular.C．It has no market demand.D．It is not profitable.7．What does the text mainly want to tell us?A．Society advances with time.B．Women deserve equal rights.C．Each goal is worth pursuing.D．Hard work always pays off.The Assassin’s Creed series has been about building immersive (沉浸) and accurate historical worlds. As their newest game releases Assassin’s Creed Origins, they have also released their Discovery Tours. These tours give players a chance to walk the streets of ancient Egypt, explore Alexandria and the pyramids, and learn about wildlife and geography.and effective than just reading a textbook or watching a documentary about what they are studying.Assassin’s Creed is not the only game series that can be educational either. What is important about the role of historical games is the level of choice. When watching a film, students are passive receivers of the content. However, when playing a game, students have an active role to play in history. A focus on choices and consequences is an important element of teaching and understanding history, so historical games can be a valuable teaching tool even if they aren’t completely historically accurate. They have the power to immerse students in faraway worlds and allow them to think critically about the cause and consequence, think about why historical events unfolded in the way they did, and even think about possible alternative outcomes. All of these are critical for historical thinking processes. No longer do students need to rely only on reading textbooks or on instructors for knowledge.When carrying this out in your class, remember that not all students enjoy playing video games, but they can still be a valuable leaning tool. The instructor also needs to be an active facilitator (促进者) and take note of teachable moments. A video game is not going to teach a class; it requires an awesome instructor to make everything come together. With the power of video games, ancient worlds no longer need to be limited to the pages of a textbook. 8．What does the underlined phrase “this interactive way” in Paragraph 1 refer to?A．Reading a textbook.B．Playing a new game.C．Walking an ancient street.D．Watching a documentary.9．What does Paragraph 2 mainly tell us about Assassin’s Creed?A．Why it gains popularity.B．How it came into being.C．How it benefits teaching.D．Why it is different from the film. 10．Who plays an important role in game-aided teaching?A．The teachers.B．The players.C．The designers.D．The audiences. 11．What’s the key message of this text?A．A vivid description of ancient architecture.B．A detailed explanation of a social problem.C．An online advertisement for a stylish trend.D．An account of a new historylearning method.Sperm whales (抹香鲸) living in the Eastern Mediterranean numbered not more than 200-300 individuals during the past decade. Alarming results from the Pelagos Cetacean Research Institute, conducting systematic observations since 1998, indicate that the population might have been halved to only 100-150 whales. The main threat to this population is the more than 30,000 ships that annually cross their habitat at high speed and the risk of collision with them.International and regional agreements force Greece to take action to protect the sperm whales, including their habitat, the Hellenic Trench. The pilot system SAvEWhales, which was developed by a team of Greek researchers, contributes to this direction.SAvEWhales records the clicking sounds of the sperm whales, processes them and sends the data to a land-based analysis center where computer models are used to detect, precisely locate the animals, and finally forward the localization fixes (定位) to nearby ships, all in real time. Specifically developed software combines localization results with shipping information from Marine Traffic, a leading ship tracking service provider, to assess collision risk. If a ship is on a collision course with a whale, its captain can be warned well in advance, so that the ship slows down and/or changes course in time to prevent the collision.Despite its promise, it may be some time before SAvEWhales, or something like it, can be in permanent use. So far, Emmanuel Skarsoulis, research director of Greece’s Foundation for Research and Technology-Hellas, and his teammates have already identified a few barriers. These include analytical challenges, such as the difficulty of differentiating individual whales when a group is traveling together. Besides, SA VEWhales can’t pick up the location of singing whales like the Mediterranean fin whale which is also endangered.Still, passive whale detection is relatively inexpensive and can protect at least one of the endangered whale species in the Hellenic Trench.12．What can be learned from paragraph 1?A．Sperm whales’ habitat almost disappeared in a short time.B．Ship strikes are the leading cause of death for sperm whales.C．Many ships have caused sperm whales to leave their habitatD．The population of sperm whales has increased slightly since 1998.13．What is SAvEWhales used to do?A．Provide ship tracking service for Marine Traffic.B．Assess sperm whales’ behavior and health in real time.C．Send the real-time location of sperm whales to passing ships.D．Give warnings to prevent some ships from crashing into others.14．Which of the following is a limitation of SAvEWhales?A．It may cause a great deal of harm to singing whalesB．It may cost quite a lot of money to be effectively used.C．It can’t be used for whales that communicate through clicks.D．It can’t distinguish between individual whales traveling together.15．Which is the most suitable title for the text?A．A new detection system can save sperm whales.B．Sperm whales are classified as an endangered species.C．SAEWhales has become applicable around the world.D．A computational technique offers the power to locate ships.Slash (斜杠) CareersWhat is your job? Are you a teacher or a businessperson? Or maybe you are a lawyer/writer or a teacher/photographer. 16 The term “slash career” comes from the punctuation mark (标点符号) — a slash that comes between job titles.People with slash careers often have a primary job that provides for most of their needs. The primary job usually comes before the slash. 17 This secondary job can help supplement income.Why would anyone want more than one job? Some people think secondary jobs are enjoyable if they include interests that the primary jobs don’t touch. Some people who encourage slash careers say they actually help with work-life balance, 18 However, in a way, a slash career can also be dangerous for work-life balance. 19 One might give up necessary things like relaxation, exercise or time with one’s family. Peoplewith slash careers need to think carefully about how they use their time. This includes knowing when to stop working.The clear advantage of slash careers is the extra income that secondary jobs provide. It’s always helpful to have a little extra money to spend or to save.20 With a slash career, losing one’s job does not mean losing one’s entire income. Or a secondary job may be so successful that it can turn into one’s primary job.If your interests stretch beyond your ordinary job, a slash career may work for you.A．Slash careers provide extra money.B．Slash careers also make one’s life more stable.C．Taking more than one job can fill up all of one’s time.D．If you have more than one job, you have a slash career.E．as it shows the person is creative and willing to work hard.F．The job after the slash is often based on a person’s interests.G．because they offer opportunities to express their real selves in life.二、完形填空for the homeless, still free of charge.21．A．resigned B．graduated C．hesitated D．failed 22．A．square B．sidewalk C．market D．platform 23．A．taking over B．setting aside C．keeping up D．giving out 24．A．report B．business C．scene D．condition 25．A．fool B．objector C．exception D．fun 26．A．compromise B．explain C．leave D．decline 27．A．encourage B．attract C．comfort D．support 28．A．turning to B．running into C．hearing of D．looking for 29．A．unbelievable B．unreasonable C．uneasy D．unnecessary 30．A．keys B．tools C．tasks D．choices 31．A．consistent B．wonderful C．creative D．familiar 32．A．alternative B．experiment C．opportunity D．attempt 33．A．kindness B．advice C．application D．politeness 34．A．new B．normal C．modern D．unique 35．A．occasionally B．extremely C．casually D．merely三、单项选择36．They said the greatest virtues in a politician were ________, correctness and honesty.A．concept B．deposit C．evolution D．integrity 37．Smoke alarms are used to quickly _____ fire or smoke in a building and give a early warning.A．reflect B．disturb C．detect D．represent 38．When building the Qinghai-Tibet Railway, the government made a lot of efforts to protect the ________ ecosystem, for any slight damage would lead to tragic consequences.A．delicate B．abstract C．innovative D．gradual 39．The seller said the price for the house was ________, but not by much.A．distant B．legal C．negotiable D．primitive 40．We clean and repair the machines before leaving work every day as a matter of ________.A．evidence B．routine C．virtue D．election41．I firmly believe that it is his father rather than his grandparents who ________ for thespoiled child.A．are to blame B．should blame C．is to blame D．is to be blamed 42．The police think the investigation can ________ the fact that the woman is not guilty of the terrible crime.A．clarify B．wander C．overcome D．invest43．I do not want to ________ you from continuing your own path to becoming your authentic self.A．cherish B．digest C．promote D．distract 44．Despite having worked for a long time feeling tired and depressed, doctors have to________ their personal feelings ________.A．use ... up B．turn ... out C．lay ... aside D．switch ... on 45．Unless you are trying to lose weight to please yourself, it’s going to be tough to keep your ________ level high.A．motivation B．ingredient C．qualification D．profile 46．The newly-shown movie is well worth ________.
