I don’t know what your junior high school was like, but senior high school teachers will not care about such things as how much homework you have already finished in one night. It means that you had better learn to manage your time wisely.Frank, Aged 16I think almost every kid feels both nervous and excited before their first day. You’ll probably love it. I know I did. You should join some clubs where you can meet people with the same interests. And taking part in some outdoor activities will also help to make your senior high school experience more enjoyable. Good luck!Bill, Aged 15When I began senior high school I was really nervous, especially since I had been taught at home all through junior high school. I think the best advice is that you should relax. The first couple of days can be a little bit hard, but things will become easier before you know it.James, Aged 16I have to tell you the truth that the first day of my senior high school is kind of frightening. But you’ll get used to it soon. Don’t be afraid of anyone. Just take it easy. It really helps if you make some friends and stay with them. After the first week, you’ll feel better. Don’t worry.1．According to Frank, how can you make your senior high school life enjoyable?A．By making many friends.B．By talking with your teachers.C．By joining clubs and taking part in activities.D．By meeting people with the different interests.2．How did Bill feel on his first day of senior high school?A．Nervous.B．Bored.C．Easy.D．Excited. 3．Who mentioned the importance of friends?A．Eddie.B．Frank.C．Bill.D．James.At most schools in the U. S., it’s customary to have a cheer squad (啦啦队) to support athletics. Cheerleaders drum up excitement before games, put on jaw—dropping routines at games, and provide support on the sidelines of most events. But students who participate in performing and visual arts seldom receive the same displays of support as athletes do. A group of students at Mountain View High School in Orem, Utah, decided to change that fact by creating a cheer squad just for the arts.Their school’s athletics cheer squad is called the Bruin Crazies, so they named their artistic cheer squad the Bruin Classies! This is a new brand with which they could create something for all of the arts, whether it is band, dance show, photography and art galleries—to give them some publicity and cheer them on.Classies wear a “uniform” of bow ties to indicate the “sense of class”artistic efforts bring their school. They carry around signs to advertise the upcoming play, musical, or dance performance. Hoping to drum up ticket sales, they encourage their fellow students to come out to support the hard work of others. They also attend performances and displays at school to cheer their classmates on.After years of discussion to make a cheer squad for the arts, this is the first time they’ve been able to pull it off. More than 90 students have already signed up to be a Bruin Classy! “The students have poured their time and energy into their arts, and it is worthy to be celebrated. ”Caleb Stay, the cheer squad leader, said, “If you worked really hard on something and no one showed up, it would be disappointing. We just want to make sure that no one feels that way. ”This is such an amazing idea! We can’t believe no one has come up with it before, but hopefully these thoughtful teens have started a new trend to support the arts in other schools, too.4．Why did the students in Mountain View high school set up the Bruin Classies?A．To support the arts in their schoo1.B．To compete with the Bruin Crazies.C．To participate in the art performing.D．To cheer the athletes on in the games. 5．How do Classies make the art performances appealing to students at school?A．By offering free tickets to students.B．By popularizing the art performances.C．By inviting students to attend performances.D．By wearing a special uniform for art festivals.6．What can be inferred from Caleb Stay’s words?A．More students will sign up the Bruin Classy.B．Few students like to attend the art performance.C．The artistic cheer squad will become a new trend.D．The students’artistic efforts deserve to be admired.7．What is the best title of the text?A．Move over, “Crazies,” the “Classies” are hereB．“Crazies” keep up, never give in to “Classies”C．The Bruin Crazies, a “uniform” of bow tiesD．The Bruin Crazies, a big hit in Orem, UtahStudents from Taizhou Middle School, Jiangsu Province, experience farming during their labor course. As we all know, the life skills like cooking and painting are important and should be taught as part of labor education.On June 3, 2020, the Ministry of Education ( MOE) gave a document showing the revised curriculum (修改后的方案) for senior high schools across the country. Labor education includes housework, school labor and community voluntary services and so on.“Labor education must be carried out with the purpose to make the right view of the world, life and values and develop an interest in doing chores,” said Vice-Minister of Education Zheng Fuzhi.According to China Youth Daily, the labor course will take six credits (学分)—the same as foreign language and physics. V oluntary service, as part of labor education, would take two credits. The MOE also asks schools to make sure 40 hours of voluntary service during the full three school years.According to Xinhua, adding labor education was out of care that the country’s young people do too little housework and that they think labor jobs aren’t important. Because of a lot of school pressure, schools pay more attention to the course of education, and parents may think that the chores waste their kids’ time.According to a survey, middle school students in China only spend 12 minutes a day on chores, compared with 72 minutes in the US, 42 minutes in South Korea and 30 minutes inFrance.However, doing housework does not distract young people. Instead, they are necessary for developing a strong working spirit, according to Julie Lythcott-Haims, the writer of How to Raise an Adult. “The earlier you started, the better…”, he said.8．If you , you can get the credit s of the labor course.A．do volunteer work B．do homework C．learn to drive a car D．go traveling9．What did Zheng Fuzhi talk about?A．The time to carry out labor education.B．The way to carry out labor education.C．The place to carry out labor education.D．The purpose to carry out labor education. 10．Who spend the most time on housework?A．Students in China.B．Students in South Korea.C．Students in America.D．Students in France.11．In which column of a newspaper may we read this passage?A．Health.B．Education.C．Sports.D．Art.“Why do people enjoy saying that they are bad at math?” wonders Petra Bonfert, a professor of engineering at Dartmouth College. After seeing too many examples of adults “passing on mathematical anxiety like a virus,” Bonfert has an important message for math-phobic parents and educators: “We are passing on from generation to generation the fear for mathematics.”Many people hold the view that math is inherently hard, and only people with an inborn mathematical ability can understand it. While well-meaning adults may think they’re encouraging kids by sharing their own math fears, research has shown the opposite. Research has found that the problem is particularly significant for girls, who “are especially affected when a teacher publicly announces math hatred before she picks up the chalk.” Moreover, a study published recently reported that female mathematical achievement was diminished in response to a female teacher’s mathematical anxiety. The effect was correlated: the higher a teacher’s anxiety, the lower the scores.”Parents’ anxiety about math can have a similar effect on kids’ achievement and their attitude toward the subject. Children who received math homework help from mathematically fearful parents showed weaker math achievements than their peers, which in turn resulted inincreased math anxiety for the children themselves. New research on math anxiety confirms that these parents unintentionally teach kids to expect that math will be beyond their capabilities.Fortunately, Sian Beilock, a cognitive scientist of Barnard College, has found a surprisingly easy way for parents to stop passing on math anxiety and build their children’s math confidence. The most important finding is the importance of normalizing math at home in a way that’s relaxing and playful: from using math-themed books and stories, playing with math games and toys to cooking together. He argues that we need to teach kids that “working on mathematical skills is not unlike practicing a sport. Neither can be learned by watching others perform the activity and both require encouragement and effort. You do not need an inborn mathematical ability in order to solve mathematical problems. Rather, what is required is perseverance, a willingness to take risks and feeling safe to make mistakes.12．Why do some people share their math fear with kids?A．To expect kids to learn from their mistake.B．To prove only geniuses can learn it well.C．To give encouragement to their kids.D．To stress the importance of geneticfactors.13．What does the underlined word “diminished” mean?A．Decreased.B．Measured.C．Improved.D．Influenced. 14．What can be learned from the last paragraph?A．Normalizing maths at home is relaxing and full of fun.B．Having an inborn math ability is essential to children.C．Developing mathematical skills differs from doing a sport.D．Encouragement and efforts help yield math learning success.15．What’s the main idea of the text?A．Math-phobic adults are to blame for math failure.B．Math anxiety is nothing to be afraid of at all.C．Parents and teachers pass on math fear to kids.D．Risks and mistakes are what success takes.Easy Ways to Make New FriendsMeeting new people and making friends can be challenging, but it’s important to makenew friends. Good friends help you to be happier. You can benefit a lot from them. 16 Believe in yourself in a new class. 17 Pick up your courage and talk to someone.

Most weeks, I’d greet Kevin as he set up gloves, mats, and other equipment. So I was shocked when I arrived one day to find him standing in front of the room telling a story, with tears streaming down his cheeks. I was worried something had gone terribly wrong in his life, but as I listened to him talk, I heard him use words like “amazing”and “accomplishment.”I realized his tears weren’t out of sorrow, but happiness. Just a few days earlier, he’d received his GED (General Equivalency Diploma), at the age of 52.Having dyslexia (阅读障碍), Kevin left school at a young age and then managed to support himself by taking odd jobs. In his mid-30s, Kevin finally landed an opportunity for a job with some promise: working for a sheriff’s department (治安部门). Amazingly, when he came clean with them about his education, they said they’d hire him as long as he got his GED．He agreed, optimistic about this new career potential, and kind of excited about giving school another chance.Kevin studied with a tutor (家庭教师), and he did it for more than a decade, learning and practicing and correcting his mistakes, every free moment he had, often late into the night. It was a huge challenge, something Kevin compares to“climbing a mountain.”In fact, as Kevin took tests along the way, he did something interesting with each of his results. He posted them on his bedroom wall so that he could watch his progress.“I needed to see myself moving forward, and I wanted to speak,”he said.Finally, he made it.“I can’t really describe what it’s like to finally achieve this,”he said.“I can hardly even put it into words. People are giving me graduation gifts! It’s a dream come true.”This might sound like a perfect ending. But for Kevin, it’s a new beginning. He’s on a roll, and his next step is college. “Now that I’ve accomplished my GED, I’m hungry for education,”he said.4．Why did Kevin cry in the classroom?A．He was worried about his future.B．He had reached one of his goals.C．He was moved by a touching story.D．He had experienced something terrible.5．What was the response of the sheriff’s department when they learned of Kevin’s education?A．They recommended a part-time job to him.B．They assessed his suitability for the job.C．They refused him directly.D．They gave him hope.6．How did Kevin encourage himself to keep going to get his GED?A．By taking time to do things that interest him.B．By reporting his test results to his tutor.C．By writing himself encouraging words.D．By reminding himself of his progress.7．What can we learn from Kevin’s story?A．Where there’s a will, there’s a way.B．The early bird catches the worm.C．Practice makes perfect.D．Grasp all, lose all.Women usually live longer than men, but they also get sick more often. New research from the University of Georgia shows that eating a good diet with lots of colorful fruits and vegetables can help women stay healthier. These foods have something called carotenoids (类胡萝卜素), which are good for our eyes and brains.The study looked at many past studies and found that women get more health problems than men. These problems include diseases where the body fights itself and memory loss. Women are more likely to get these diseases because of their biology. “Women have more body fat than men, which is good for having babies, but it also means they need to eat more healthy things to stay well,” said Hammond, a researcher.Why are women more vulnerable (脆弱的) to health problems? One reason is how they store vitamins (维生素) and minerals. Women’s bodies keep more fat, and fat can hold these important nutrients (营养物). This is helpful when they are having babies, but it also means there might not be enough for their eyes and brains.Eating foods with carotenoids is important because they help protect our bodies from damage. Some carotenoids are found in parts of our eyes and brains and can help with problems in the nervous system. “Both men and women eat these foods, but women need more because their bodies use them up faster,” said Hammond.The food we eat can affect our brains and how we feel. It can even change our feelings and how likely we are to get angry. Now, scientists are learning that the food we eat also affects the bacteria (细菌) in our stomachs, which are important to our health too.8．What does the study suggest about carotenoids?A．They are only beneficial to men.B．They are not necessary for a healthy diet.C．They are good for women’s eyes and brains.D．They have no effect on the central nervous system.9．What is one of the reasons women may need a better diet?A．Women need less food than men.B．Women’s diets are short of carbohydrates.C．Women need more vitamins to support their body fat.D．Women have a higher risk of developing health problems.10．What is the connection between diet and the bacteria in our stomachs?A．Certain bacteria can only be found in women’s stomachs.B．The bacteria in our stomachs have nothing to do with our health.C．The bacteria in our stomachs determine our food preferences.D．The food we eat affects the bacteria in our stomachs.11．What is the best title for the text?A．Why do women live longer than men?B．Why do women lose more memory?C．Women may have a higher risk of mental illnessD．Diets with more carotenoids can help women stay healthierDeepfake technology, which uses AI and machine learning and can change videos and photographs in a way that appears realistic, has frequently been covered in a negative light. Thetechnology can be used to violate (侵犯) privacy and create fake videos. While these potential abuses of the technology are real and concerning, it doesn’t mean we should turn a blind eye to the technology’s potential.Jaime Donally, a math teacher and technologist, has written about how a type of deepfake technology called Deep Nostalgia that went viral in 2021 can allow students to form a stronger connection with the past. She never met her grandfather in her real life. Using deepfake technology she was able to make one of the few photos that exist of her grandfather come to life, which was moving for her. “It just gave this deeper connection,” she says.Teachers have used the deepfake technology to bring historical figures such as Albert Einstein to life. One teacher Donally has “communicated” with Frederick Douglass to help students connect with Douglass’ famous 1852 speech about the meaning of the Fourth of July to Black enslaved Americans. Another teacher has plans to use the technology to have students interview a historical figure and create dialogue for them. “It makes them want to learn more,” Donally says of using deepfake technology.” It drives them into kind of the history and understanding a bit more, and I think it also helps them identify who they are in that process.”As much potential as deep fake technology has, there are still important privacy concerns educators need to weigh and evaluate. It’s important to check the legality (合法性) of data collection of facial structure, features, and expressions, and how that information is stored or shared. Teachers should help their students learn to navigate this new technology that will likely be a part of society going forward.12．What can we learn from the first paragraph?A．Deepfake has aroused much interest in public.B．Deepfake can produce more realistic photos.C．The benefits of deepfake shouldn’t be ignored.D．More and more fake videos created by deepfake.13．What does “went viral” underlined in Paragraph 2 refer to ?A．Became unpopular.B．Spread fast.C．Was ignored.D．Remained fresh.14．What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about?A．Reasons for popularity of deepfake technology.B．Application of deepfake technology in education.C．Expectation for deepfake technology in society.D．The wide use of deepfake technology in classrooms.15．What is the authors’ attitude towards the uses of deepfake?A．Objective.B．Disapproving.C．Unclear.D．Favourable.How To Fight Back-To-School AnxietyAugust is the time to prepare for a new school year. 16 These simple tips can help you or someone you love deal with the year ahead.17 Like any new activity, a new school year is always easier when you’re prepared for it. Get your class schedule in advance so you know exactly what to expect that first day. Make sure you’re prepared with all the supplies you’ll need. If you’ll be attending a new school, get familiar with the campus in advance of the first week.Talk about it. Change is never easy, and can often be scary.

Find activities, clubs or organizations that truly interest you. Chances are, when you do, you’ll find a sense of belonging that’s completely genuine.Get help. It’s not abnormal for any teen to feel stressed about an upcoming school year. But if your feelings of anxiety or depression are affecting your ability to eat, sleep or function on a daily basis, it’s time to seek professional help. 20A．Get ready.B．Stick to a tight schedule.C．When you’re a teen, fitting in is important.D．It is common for people to feel stressed after holiday.E．For teens, the “back-to-school” period can be especially troubling.F．A parent or adviser can help you find an expert to help you get through the upcoming year.

There are too many mosquitoes in our town.” One of them said to him.Mark Twain, however, made a joke, saying to the waiter, “The mosquitoes are very clever. They know my room number. They didn’t come into the wrong room.” What he said made all the people present laugh heartily.But that night Mark Twain slept well. Do you know why?

Maybe it is true that we do not know what we have got until we lose it ，but it is also true that we do not know what we have been missing until it arrives.It takes an hour to like someone ， and a day to love someone ， but it takes a lifetime to forget someone. Giving someone all your love is never an assurance( 保证 )that they will love you back. Do not expect love in return ；but if it does not ， be content it has grown in yours. Do not rely on one's appearance ； it can trick you. Do not rely on wealth ； even that fades away. Rely on someone who makes you smile ， because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright.There are moments in life when you miss someone so much that you just want to pick them from your dreams and hug them. Dream what you want to dream ； go where you want to go ； be what you want to be ， because you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you want to do.The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past. You cannot go on well in life until you let your past failures and heartaches go off. Mayyou have enough happiness to make you sweet ， enough trials( 考验 )to makeyou strong ， enough sorrow to keep you human ， enough hope to make you happy. The happiest people do not necessarily have the best of everything ； theyjust make the most of everything that comes along their way. Happiness waitsfor those who cry ， those who appreciate the importance of people who have touched their lives. Always put yourself in others' shoes. If you feel that it hurts you ， it probably hurts the other person ， too.When you were born ， you were crying and everyone around you was smiling.Live your life so that when you die ， you are the one who is smiling and everyone around you is crying.1. In this passage ， the writer wants to tell us ______.A. what to do in our lifeB. where to go with other personsC. how to treat our lifeD. how to get on well with other persons2. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. If you give someone your love ， you are sure to receive love in return.B. We often don't know what we have lost until it happens someday.C. It is wise not to rely on anybody because you are likely to be cheated.D. If it takes you a short time to love someone ， you will forget the person.3. One should ______ the painful past according to the writer.A. valueB. rememberC. considerD. forget3. In ancient Egypt，the pharaoh(法老)treated the poor message runner like a prince when he arrived at the palace，if he brought good news. However，if the exhausted runner had the misfortune to bring the pharaoh unhappy news，hishead was cut off.Shades of that spirit s pread over today’s conversations. Once a friend and I packed up some peanut butter and sandwiches for an outing. As we walked light-heartedly out the door，picnic basket in hand，a smiling neighbor looked up at the sky and said，“Oh boy，bad day for a picnic. The weatherman says it’s going to rain.” I wanted to strike him on the face with the peanut butter and sandwiches. Not for his stupid weather report，for his smile.Several months ago I was racing to catch a bus. As I breathlessly put my handful of cash across the Greyhound counter，the sales agent said with abroad smile，“Oh，that bus left five minutes ago.” Dreams of head cutting!It’s not the news that makes someone angry. It’s the unsympathetic attitude with which it’s delivered. Everyone must give bad news from time to time，and winning professionals do it with the proper attitude. A doctor advising a patient that she needs an operation does it in a caring way. A boss informingan employee he didn’t get the job takes on a sympathetic tone. Big winners know，when delivering any bad news，they should share the feeling of the receiver.Unfortunately，many people are not aware of this. When you’re tired from a long flight，has a hotel clerk cheerfully said that your room isn’t ready yet？When you had your heart set on the toast beef，has your waiter merrily told you that he just served the last piece？It makes you as traveler or diner want to land your fist right on their unsympathetic faces.Had my neighbor told me of the upcoming rainstorm with sympathy，I would have appreciated his warning. Had the Greyhound salesclerk sympathetically informed me that my bus had already left，I probably would have said，“Oh，that’s all right. I’ll catch the next one.” Big winners，when they bear bad news，deliver bombs with the emotion the bombarded(被轰炸的)person is sure to have.1. In Paragraph 1，the writer tells the story of the pharaoh to________.A. make a comparisonB. introduce a topicC. describe a sceneD. offer an argument2. In the writer’s opinion，his neighbor was________.A. friendlyB. warm-heartedC. not helpfulD. not considerate3. What is the main idea of the text?A. Helping others sincerely is the key to business success.B. Delivering bad news properly is important in communication.C. Receiving bad news requires great courage.D.

When she returned to England, Florence started a nursing home for women.During the Crimean War in 1854, she went with a group of thirty-eight nurses to the front hospitals. What they saw there was terrible. Dirt and death were everywhere to be seen and smelled. The officer there did not want any woman to tell him how to run a hospital, either. But the brave nurses went to work.Florence used her own money and some from friends to buy clothes, beds, medicines and food for the men. Her only pay was the smilesfrom the lips of dying soldiers. But they were more than enough for this kind woman.After war, she returned to England and was honored for her services by Queen Victoria. But Florence said that her work had just begun. She raised money to build the Nightingale Home for Nurses in London.She also wrote a book on public health, which was printed in several countries.

I was young and strong and I had been to most parts of the world and I spent one fifth of my time in the trains or planes. I liked such a life and sometimes I called myself “traveler”.But one day I got into trouble. It was a cold morning. It blew heavily and the ground was covered with thick snow outside. I was still in bed though it was nine. I finished a long journey the day before and decided to have a good rest. Suddenly the telephone rang and my manager told me to fly to New York to take part in an important meeting. I had to get up and after a quick breakfast I hurried to the airport. The taxi went slowly and I missed the first flight. I had to take the next one. It meant I would wait for nearly five hours in the waiting-room. But five hours later a passenger said the information showed there was a bomb in our plane and the policemen were looking for it. And another five hours passed and most passengers lost their patience before we were allowed to get on the plane. At the entrance each passenger and their baggage had to be examined. A young man who seemed a soldier shoute d at the policemen at the entrance, “If I had a gun in my baggage, I would shoot you two hours ago!”1．The writer called himself “traveler” because he .A．sold cars for his company B．often took trains and cars C．traveled all over the world D．liked traveling in many places2．He didn’t get up until the phone rang because he .A．felt very cold outside B．wanted to have a rest that dayC．was going to have a meeting D．was waiting for the manager’s call3．The taxi went slowly because .A．there was much snow on the roadB．it was very cold that morningC．the driver didn’t know he would fly to New YorkD．the manager told him not to hurry4．The young man became angry because he .A．wouldn’t be examinedB．had a gun in his baggageC．waited for a long time at the airportD．hated the policemen at the entrance5.

But machine power has its limitations (局限).It cannot survive without electricity and manhandling. Ifit doesn’t have these two then it is completely useless.So man shoul d not completely depend on machines. One morepoint is that because of the use of machines man has becomelazy. This laziness has brought in many problems likeobesity, arthritis (关节炎) and other health problems. ButI am not saying that man should completely turn fromma-chine power to man power. He should have a balance ofboth. Even I can’t think of life without a car, a com puterand a cooler.Sally 9-May-2020Humans only created the machines. So, human power is greater than machine power. To d o the things quickly we created the machines. But machines cannot think. That thinking power beats machine power.Tina17-May-2020But without humans there is no value of any machine. If someone wants to use his machine perfectly then one must have expert labor or man power.Tommy19-May-2020Hi to all, my opin ion is that human power is more powerful than machine power, because human beings created the machines. Human brain works more com-pared to machines.Mike20-May-2020I think human power is better than ma-chine power because even if we travel on foot to near places the money will not be wasted and we can get exercise.6.Who agrees with Smith generally?A.

She began swimming when she was eight, after the family had moved to Nashville, Tennessee. While unwilling at first to swim in cold water or get her face wet, she began to train in earnest (认真地) as her talent became clear. Though her father worked for the public schools, the family sent her to a private school when the public schools could not accommodate (适应) her training schedule.At age 13, Tracy Caulkins took part in the trials for the 1976 Olympics, but did not make the team. She continued to win national and international titles, and was disappointed in 1980 when the U.S. didn’t attend the Moscow Olympics. She continued to train and compete.In 1981, Tracy Caulkins began college, graduating in 1985. In college, she continued competing and training, though she had slowed down from her peak (顶峰) years.Caulkins trained especially hard for the 1984 Olympics, and not only made the team, but was captain of the swim team, and at Los Angeles, won three gold medals and was named Sportswoman of the Year by the U.S. Olympic Committee. After that she retired from swimming, and was a commentator (解说员) for swimming events as well as taking advantage of her fame to do business.Tracy Caulkins married Australian swimmer, Mark Stockwell, in 1991, their romance having begun at the 1984 Olympics when he jumped into a warm-up pool to introduce himself. They married in Nashville and moved to Australia, where they had three children who have dual citizenship. Caulkins continued to be professionally involved in sports.10.

With its shocking green body, red mouth, long tail and noisy screech, the rose-ringed parakeet (长尾小鹦鹉) brought a vivid splash of colour to parks in and around London.However, the parakeets are no longer welcome. The government has suddenly woken up to the fact that there are many more parakeets in and around London making life harder for the local bird population. Government experts put the number of parakeets at around 30,000. They fear that if the number of parakeets keeps rising, these birds will push out local birds like wood-peckers, starlings and nuthatches from trees to build their own nests.Not only that. According to an online report by The Independent, the parakeets will then also get control of most of the food available in the parks —seeds, berries, fruit and nuts. The local bird population will thenhave a hard time staying alive. An organization called the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB) has asked the government to investigate (调查) what kind of a threat the parakeet brings to local birds. If the government decides that these birds are indeed a threat to local birds, steps will be taken to control the number of parakeets.The most surprising thing about the case of the rose-ringed parakeet is that no one quite knows how the parakeets came from India and started breeding (繁殖) in areas around London.14. Parakeets are no longer welcome mainly because ______.A. the local birds are being driven outB. the government doesn’t like the birdsC. they a re a threat to people’s healthD. people have a great fear of this kind of birds15. According to an online report by The Independent, ______.A. the parakeets’ future threat is impossibleB. the number of the parakeets is around 3,000C. the parakeets should fly back to the HimalayasD. the local birds won’t have enough food第二节阅读理解七选五(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)第三节根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

It uses gaming technologies to show the historical scenes of the Library Cave in the digital world.The Library Cave in Mogao Grottoes was discovered in 1900, with more than 60,000 cultural relics unearthed. It was one of the most important archaeological discoveries in the 20th century.On the platform, visitors can role-play and "time travel" to ancient dynasties and talk with eight historical figures. The public can enter the platform through the Digital Dunhuang website and its WeChat mini program."In the digital age, the model of 'culture + technology' has been introduced to promote the development of Chinese culture. The digitalization rate of China's precious cultural relics is over 70%, " according to iResearch.Institutions such as the Palace Museum have also started online digital services of their own.AI technology allows the public to view the interior of the buildings through the Palace Museum's WeChat mini program.The Ministry of Culture and Tourism has also encouraged the development and transformation of culture by digital means. The CCTV has created a series of digital collections with different Dunhuang themes, such as the divine deer, Youyou. It was created based on the image of the nine-colored deer from Dunhuang murals (壁画) ."Digital collections are welcomed among young people, who grow up in the information age. They not only protect the cultural intellectual property (知识产权) but also bring the public closer to China's 'excellent traditional culture'," noted Dunhuang Art Institute.Su Bomin, director of the Dunhuang Academy, told Xinhua that more efforts will be made to explore new forms for showing cultural relics and offering the public greater cultural experiences in the future.4．What can we know about the virtual copy of the Mogao Grottoes' Library Cave?A.The Dunhuang Academy developed it secretly.B.Both time-traveling and gaming technologies were used in it.C.It was discovered in the 20th century with more than 60,000 cultural relics.D.People can have access to it through the Wechat mini program of Digital Dunhuang 5．According to iResearch, what has the model "culture+technology" been applied for?A.Showing the latest technologies in China.B.Helping cultural institutions make a profitC.Pushing the development of Chinese culture.D.Encouraging young people to explore Chinese cultural relics.6．How does the author introduce the success of digital collections in Paragraph 7?A.By listing numbers.B.By giving examples.C.By giving definitions.D.By making comparisons.7．Which of the following best expresses the main idea of the passage?A.China's new way in rebuilding Mogao Grottoes' Library Cave.B.China's interactive digital platform in developing Dunhuang culture.C.China's success in promoting the digitization rate of cultural relics.D.China's latest advances in the development of cultural intellectual property.Research led by an ecologist Bart Hoekstra shows that birds are affected by the mass use of fireworks on New Year's Eve.The research studied how many birds take off immediately after the start of the fireworks, at what distance from fireworks this occurs and which species groups mainly react. "Birds take off as a result of an acute flight response due to sudden noise and light. Wealready knew that many water birds react strongly, but now we also see the effect on other birds throughout the Netherlands, "says Bart Hoekstra.Last year, a study discovered that geese are so affected by fireworks that they spend about 10% longer looking for food than normal during at least the next 12 days. They apparently need time to restore their energy to their former condition, after escaping from the fireworks.Because 62% of all birds in the Netherlands live within a radius (半径) of 2.5 km of inhabited areas (居民区) , the effects of fireworks are high for all birds throughout the country. "Flying requires a lot of energy, so ideally birds should be disturbed as little as possible during the cold winter months. Measures to ensure this are especially important in open areas such as grasslands, where many larger birds spend the winter. The effects ofbirds live there, which are less likely to fly away from disturbance, " says Bart Hoekstra.People who argue for fireworks-free zones in areas where large birds live advise that fireworks should mainly be lit as far away from birds as possible. It would be best for birds if people try to use light shows without sound, such as drone (无人机) shows instead of fireworks.8．How many aspects did the research mainly study?A.One.B.Two.C.Three.D.Four.9．If geese normally spend 10 days looking for food, how long will they spend after escaping from the fireworks according to the study in Paragraph 3?A.About 11 days.B.About 12 days.C.About 13 days.D.About 14 days.10．What does the underlined word "pronounced" in Paragraph 4 mean?A.Adaptable.B.Noticeable.C.Admirable.D.Avoidable.11．What can be the best title for the passage?A.Anxious in The Air!B.Amazing Fireworks-free Zones!C.Fireworks in The World!D.Birds Throughout The Country!Coming into the town of Santa Catarina Palopó, in the highlands of Lake Atitlán in Guatemala, the first thing you notice is the bright colors. Most of the buildings along the main street are eye-catching, in deep, varied hues of blues and greens; interspersed with red and yellow to form complex patterns and designs.Santa Catarina Palopó was once a sleepy town of 5,000 people, most of them indigenous (土著的) and dependent on agricultural work. As agriculture began to dry up here, decline for the town and poverty for many of its families came. To deal with poverty and stimulate economic growth through tourism, a small but mighty group of laborers, artisans, domestic workers and stay-at-home moms created the Pintando Santa Catarina Palopó project.The project was initially to paint all 850 homes and buildings in bright colors, in an effort to change the hillside town into a work of art. "We wanted to paint the houses with colors and figures that represent the community, says the project's executive director Stephany Blanco." A range of designs were created so that families can choose designs for their house that are representative of the family.One of the most representative characteristics of the region is the blue huipil, a traditional blouse which has been worn prominently by local women since the 16th century. That deep sky blue was chosen as the primary color for the Pintando project, with secondary colors found in the sunsets and the nearby lake to make the design more attractive. As for the designs that would be used, they would also find inspiration in local culture, symbols such as volcanoes, flowers, Mayan-styled butterflies and the national bird of Guatemala.Each week, local artists, community members and tourists pick up paintbrushes to make buildings colorful. "At first, the idea of the project left many unsure about participating, but now you can see a considerable difference in the town, "Melissa Whitbeck said. "The color of the buildings is believed to improve the quality of life of the people.
