We wanted to lead an environmentally- friendly life. None of us felt this could be accomplished where we were living and we all agreed that a move to the country would be great for everyone.Before long we set about looking for a home in Yucca, a very small town of less than 100 people, where it is normal to record temperatures above 46°C for days on end in summer and it is very wild with practically no snowfall in winter.When I called to inquire about the property, I was informed that there was no electricity available in the area. What? No electricity? I almost denied the idea immediately. But what better way is there to go green? After giving it a second thought, we decided to put in an offer and moved in on Thanksgiving Day.When we first moved to the property, we did some remodeling and stayed in our motor home. We were faced with real challenges at the time. But the frustrations just made us work harder. We slowly got things fixed and moved into the house after 38 days.While living here for the past four months has been a big adjustment, we benefit a lot from living off grid. I think one of the most educational lessons is teaching my kids the importance of conservation. They used to take power for granted. But now they realize the importance of power, together with water and gas. We start taking quicker showers, doing only full loads of laundry, turning off the water while brushing our teeth. And this has a chain effect. We are also trying to make other changes which include reducing the amount of trash we generate by recycling,growing our own organic vegetables and re-purposing things that we would have normally thrown.Overall, going without electricity has been great for our family. I hope that once my kids move out of the house, they will keep the habits that they have learned here.4．Why did the family move to the small town?A．To inspire the kids.B．To try a new lifestyle.C．To cut living expenses.D．To escape air pollution.5．What can be learned about the small town?A．It has an aging population.B．It lacks access to water.C．It has hot summer days.D．It lacks educational resources.6．What does the underlined phrase “living off grid” in Paragraph 5 probably mean?A．Dealing with poverty.B．Dealing with garbage.C．Living without pollution.D．Living without electricity.7．What is the text mainly about?A．A family switching to a simple life.B．A family helping the locals go green.C．A family traveling around the country.D．A family teaching the kids hands- on skills.Dogs are social animals and without proper training, they will behave like wild animals. They will soil your house, destroy your belongings, bar k excessively, fight other dogs and even bite you. Nearly all behavior problems are perfectly normal dog activities that occur at the wrong time or place or are directed at the wrong thing. To prevent or treat behavior problems, you are supposed to teach the dog to redirect its normal behavior to outlets that are acceptable in the domestic setting.One of the best things you can do for your dog and yourself is to obedience train it. Obedience training or training doesn't solve all behavior problems, but it is the foundation for solving just about any problem. Training pens up a line of communication between you and your dog. Effective communication is necessary to instruct your dog about what you want it to do.Training is also an easy way to establish the social rank order. When your dog obeys a simple request of “come here, sit,” it is showing obedience and respect for you. It is not necessary to establish yourself as top dog or leader of the pack by using extreme measure. You can teachyour dog its subordinate role by teaching it to show submission to you. Most dogs love performing tricks for you to pleasantly accept that you are in charge.Training should be fun and rewarding for you and your dog. It can enrich your relationship and make living together more enjoyable. A well-trained dog is more confident and can more safely be allowed a greater amount of freedom than an untrained animal.8．Which statement about dogs’ behavior problems is true?A．They result from training.B．They’re just part of nature.C．They’re wrong dog activities.D．They will be worse unless punished. 9．What is the purpose of dog training?A．To make dogs respect authority.B．To give dogs outlets for their behavior.C．To solve all their behavior problems.D．To teach dogs to perform clever tricks. 10．Why do pet dogs love performing tricks for their masters?A．To get respect from masters.B．To show their willingness to obey.C．To establish the social rank order.D．To show their affection for their masters. 11．What might a dog with effective obedience training get?A．More foods.B．More safety.C．More freedom.D．More love.Sign has become a scientific hot button. Only in the past 20 years have specialists in language study realized that sign languages are unique — a speech of the hand. They offer a new way to look into how the brain generates and understands language, and throw new light on an old scientific debate: whether language, complete with grammar, is something that we are born with, or whether it is a learned behavior. The current interest in sign language has roots in the pioneering work of one wise teacher Bill Stokoe at Gallaudet University in Washington, D．C．, the world’s only liberal arts university for deaf people.When Bill Stokoe went to Gallaudet to teach English, the school enrolled him in a course in signing. But Stokoe noticed something odd: among themselves, students signed differently from his classroom teacher.Stokoe had been taught a sort of gestural code, each movement of the hands representing a word in English. At the time, American Sign Language (ASL) was thought to be no more than a form of pidgin English (混杂英语). But Stokoe believed the “hand talk” his students used lookedricher. He wondered: Might deaf people actually have a genuine language? And could that language be unlike any other on Earth? It was 1955, when even deaf people dismissed their signing as “substandard”. No wonder that Stokoe’s idea was considered academically wrong then.It is 37 years later. Stokoe — now devoting his time to writing and editing books and journals and to producing video materials on ASL and the deaf culture — is having lunch at a cafe near the Gallaudet campus and explaining how he started a revolution. For decades, educators fought his idea that sign languages are natural languages like English, French and Japanese. They assumed language must be based on speech, the adaptation of sound. But sign language is based on the movement of hands, the adaptation of space. “ What I said, ” Stokoe explains, “ is that language is not mouth stuff — it’s brain stuff. ”12．What does sign language bring?A．An end of an old scientific debate.B．A new way to generate languages.C．A challenge to traditional views.D．A change of human languages.13．What inspired Stokoe to study sign language?A．His wish to help the deaf.B．His position as an English teacher.C．Students’ discrimination against ASL.D．Different signs between teachers and students. 14．Which statement did many educators agree to?A．Sign language is just for deaf people.B．Sign language is as natural as English.C．A language should be based on the adaptation of space.D．A language could only exist in the form of speech sounds.15．What is the best title of the passage?A．Sign Language: A Genuine Language B．A Hot Button in Sign LanguageC．Bill Stokoe: A Pioneer in Language D．Sign Language Not Mouth StuffWhy is a compliment so impactful? One of the most important things to humans is to feel valued and respected by others, says Vanessa Bohns, a social psychologist, who has researched compliments. According to her research, people feel “significantly better” after both giving and receiving a compliment. 16“You handled that situation so well.”Bohns recently used her favorite compliment when she saw a server address a difficult situation with a customer at the bar. “I like it so much because you use it in anxious moments where the other person is often unsure of whether they handled a situation OK,” she says. In situations that call for a compliment, don’t second-guess yourself. Give your compliments generously. 17 That concern is unfounded.“ 18 ”This compliment — one of Bohns’ favorites — works well among romantic partners and close family members. “It’s a beautiful way to highlight how their presence turns life into something meaningful, despite boring routines of our everyday lives,” she says. If you’re afraid that giving a compliment like this will feel strange, you’re not alone. 19 If it makes you personally feel like the bar is lowered for you to give a compliment if you write it down, or if you practice saying it out loud or giving your pet cat the compliment first, do that.“Hey, great dress!”Feel free to compliment strangers. In Bohns’ research, students on a college campus were told to approach a stranger of the same gender and compliment them-about, for example, their nice shirt. Before heading out, the study participants tended to underestimate their positive effect while overestimating how annoying it would be. Across all contexts, strangers are more likely to be pleased than confused. Plus, who knows? 20A．I love the way you bring out the best in people.B．Respect is essential when you deliver compliments.C．One way to overcome this fear is to do a practice run.D．You make even ordinary moments feel extraordinary.E．You might make a new friend in addition to making someone’s day.F．With that in mind, we asked her to share some of her favorite compliments.G．People sometimes worry that they’re going over and will start to sound insincere.二、完形填空It was time to go back to school. I was excited to see friends I hadn’t seen in a really long time. But, to be honest, I was also 21 about all the new stuff. That was why I 22 thatI was extra prepared.My plan was to wake up early, put on my carefully 23 clothes and eat my carefully chosen breakfast. I’d ride my carefully cleaned bike to school, 24 my brand-new classroom and feel calm, cool and collected for the rest of the day.I have to say, everything went according to plan — 25 , well, it didn’t.My new teacher, Mr. Jax, who seemed very serious, started out by going over the class rules.

"One day in the summer of 2015, Peterson was relaxing in his living room, reading the book Love Does, about the power of love in action, when his quiet was disturbed by a homeless man outside his apartment. Inspired by the book's compassionate message, Peterson made a decision：He was going to go outside and introduce himself.In that first conversation, Peterson learned that the man's name was Matt Faris. He'd moved to Southern California from Kentucky to pursue a career in music, but he soon fell on hard times and ended up living on the street for more than a decade. "I saw beauty on the face of a man who hadn't shaved in probably a year, because his story, the life inside of him, inspired me," Peterson recalled. Therefore, Peterson asked if he could paint Faris's portrait. Faris agreed.Peterson's connection with Faris led him to form Faces of Santa Ana, a nonprofit organization focused on befriending and painting portraits of members of the community who are unhoused. Peterson sells the paintings for money, splitting the proceeds and putting half into a "love account" for his model. He then helps people use the money to get back on their feet.Many of Peterson's new friends use the donations to secure immediate necessities medical care, hotel rooms, food. Faris used the funds from his portrait to record an album, fulfilling his musical dreams. Another subject, Kimberly Sondoval, had never been able to financially support her daughter. She asked, "Can I use the money to pay my daughter's rent? " When the check was delivered, "They both wept in my arms, "Peterson recalls.Peterson has painted 41 of these portraits himself. But there's more to the finished products than the money they bring to someone who's down and out. He's discovered that the buyers tend to connect to the story of the person in the painting, finding similarities and often friendship with someone they might have otherwise overlooked or stereotyped."People often tell me, 'I was the one that would cross the street, but I see homeless people differently now, ' " Peterson says. "I didn't know that would happen."4．What made Peterson start a conversation?A.The curiosity about strangers.B.The touching story of Matt Faris.C.The disturbance by a homeless man.D.The sympathetic message in Love Does.5．What do we know about Faces of Santa Ana?A.It pays the homeless salaries.B.It is an official nonprofit organization.C.It tries to restore the lives of Peterson's models.D.It spends all the money on helping the unhoused.6．After buying a portrait, a buyer might view the homeless as ______?zy and poorB.odd but inspiringC.disturbing and untidyD.pitiful but respectable7．Which of the following is the best title of this text?A.Art with Purpose: Love Account MattersB.Hope in Paintings: Help Knows No RaceC.Faces of Compassion: Painting a New PerspectiveD.Encounter with Strangers: Embracing New FriendsFilm Puts Justifiable Defense in SpotlightThe film, Article 20, directed by Zhang Yimou, draws its name from Article 20 of the Criminal Law, which focuses on the sometimes controversial legal concept of justifiable defense. Drawing inspiration from real-life cases of justifiable defense, the film gained widespread attention and struck a chord with the public during the Spring Festival holiday. The movie calls for a detailed interpretation of legal terms and urges against compromising on unlawful conduct.According to the Criminal Law, when a person, faced with an unlawful attack, takes action to protect his or her own rights or interests or those of others, and the attacker is thereby harmed, the defender will be considered to have acted in justifiable defense and will not bear criminal responsibility. For some time, justifiable defense has been regarded as a "dormant clause" (沉寂条款) , due to the influence of misconceptions, such as "whoever is injured or killed is right".But the true meaning of the law should be to increase the responsibility for wrongdoers, rather than burdening good people. Recent cases have shown that, for ordinary citizens, justifiable defense is no longer a pipe dream. A high-profile case in Kunshan, Jiangsu province, in 2018 served as a wake-up call and caught the attention of authorities regarding such cases. In that case, a traffic argument led to a motorist who took a knife with him confronting another man.The motorist was killed, and police and judges determined that the defender's actions constituted justifiable defense. Since then, the justifiable defense clause has been applied in several places across the nation. The concern over justifiable defense reflects the public's demand for fairness, justice, security and rule of law.Luo Xiang, a renowned professor of criminal law at China University of Political Science and Law, said in a recent comment about the film Article20 that the public and judges should avoid taking a "godlike" perspective. Instead, they should consider the situation in which the defender was involved, empathize with the defender's position, and stop themselves from making excessive demands on the defender, Luo said.8．Why did the film Article 20 attract the audience's attention?A.It was released during the Spring Festival holiday.B.It is named after one article in the Criminal Law.C.It explores real-life cases of justifiable defense.D.It was directed by Zhang Yimou.9．According to the Criminal Law, the victim will be free from criminal responsibility when ______.A.the victim gave up his legal rightsB.the robber kept silent about the robberyC.the robber was hurt worse than the victimD.the victim knifed the armed robber to stop the ongoing crime10．What is the function of the case in Kunshan in Paragraph 3?A.Making comparisons.B.Listing reasons.C.Explaining misconceptions.D.Providing evidence.11．What does Luo Xiang suggest judges do?A.Take a “godlike” viewpoint with the public.B.Put oneself in the defender's shoes.C.Demand more from the defender.D.Side with the attacker.Researchers have discovered the oldest black hole ever observed, dating from the dawn of the universe, and found that it is "eating" its host galaxy to death.The international team, led by the University of Cambridge, used the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) to detect the black hole, which dates from 400 million years after the big bang. The results, which lead author Professor Roberto Maiolino says are "a giant leap forward", are reported in the journal Nature.This surprisingly massive black hole even exists so early in the universe challenges our assumptions about how black holes form and grow. The size of this newly-discovered black hole suggests that they might form in other ways: they might be 'born big' or they can eat matter at a rate that's five times higher than had been thought possible. Like all black holes,According to standard models, supermassive black holes form from the remains of dead stars, which collapse and may form a black hole about a hundred times the mass of the Sun. If it grew in an expected way, this newly-detected black hole would take about a billion years to grow to its observed size. However, the universe was not yet a billion years old when this black hole was detected.The young host galaxy, called GN-z11, is a compact galaxy, about one hundred times smaller than the Milky Way, but the black hole is likely harming its development. When black holes consume too much gas, it pushes the gas away like an ultra-fast wind. This "wind" could stop the process of star formation, slowly killing the galaxy, but it will also kill the black hole itself, as it would cut off the black hole's source of "food".Maiolino says that the gigantic leap forward provided by JWST makes this the most exciting time in his career. "It's a new era: the giant leap is like upgrading from Galileo's telescope to a modern telescope overnight," he said. "The universe has been quite generous in what it's showing us, and this is just the beginning."12．What does the underlined word "devours" mean in Paragraph 3?A.Changes.B.Swallows.C.Observes.D.Forms.13．According to Paragraph 5, why is GN-z11 likely to be harmed?A.Because the host galaxy is too small.B.Because the black hole is killing itself.C.Because the “wind” ceases star formation.D.Because black holes produce too much gas.14．What is Maiolino's attitude to the new discovery about the black hole?A.Favorable.B.Intolerant.C.Doubtful.D.Ambiguous.15．What can we learn from this passage?A.The black hole took a billion years to achieve its size.B.Supermassive black holes are assumed to form overnight.C.The new discovery of the host galaxy is a giant leap forward.D.The host galaxy and the black hole can be destroyed by the "wind".二、七选五16．The Failed New Year's Resolution: Three Tips to Get on Track January is officially over, and many people are taking stock of their progress towards New Year's resolutions. The fact is that you probably haven't kept up with them as much as you hoped. But that's not your fault. ①______.If you feel like you have already failed, here are three tips before you let go.Practice self-compassionMany people talk to themselves in harsh ways when struggling with new habits, believing self-criticism will help them reach their goals. Research shows, however, that the opposite is true. Self-compassion is more effective for personal improvement, especially when facing failure. ②______, try to be kind and gentle with yourself, just as you would with a loved one.③______Resolutions are often phrased as definitive goals. I will exercise daily. I will kick desserts. ④______. But setting all-or-nothing goals can lead to all-or-nothing decisions that one gives up when faced with challenges. In contrast, intentions focus more on your values than specific actions. For example, the resolution "I will exercise daily" may become an intention of "I want to move my body because it feels good." This approach allows for more flexibility when unexpected stress arises.Solve problems by overcoming barriersIf you are struggling to maintain your desired habits, there are evidence-based techniques available to help you. ⑤______. This involves identifying the specific barriers that lead to your quitting something that you want to do. Perhaps you keep forgetting the new habit, or perhaps you don't understand how to do it. Whatever it is, identify the barrier and cope with it specifically.A. Set all-or-nothing goalsB. Change your resolutions into intentionsC. One such skill is called missing links analysisD. Setting specific behavioral goals can be effectiveE. If you're persuaded to give up on your resolutionsF. Old habits tend to die hard, and new habits tend to die easyG. When you are upset about yourself for not keeping resolutions三、完形填空（15空）My son asked me months ago if he could switch from his mainstream high school to aanother learning environment to complete his study.
