Grandparents Peter and Chris stepped on the long journey after deciding to “do something a bit different”. They traversed (横穿) cities, deserts, mountains and everything in between across Europe, the Middle East and the East Asia. The married couple of 37 years enjoyed themselves with delicious local food and spent most nights inside a tiny tent put up wherever they could find shelter.Peter, 66, said the moment they finally had a look at the famous Great Wall after a year and a half of cycling 30 miles a day was “really exciting”. At the end of their journey, the special pair didn’t fly home but instead choose to book a cabin (舱) inside a 400m-long container ship. The final part was a three-week voyage from Singapore across the Indian Ocean and into the Mediterranean Sea before arriving at Southampton.“You never know what the day is going to bring. All you know is that you aregoing to get on your bike and cycle. Every day is an adventure and every day is new. Overall, the experience is absolutely unbelievable, ” Peter said.Peter and Chris initially set out to cycle from Britain in January 2017 but were forced home. They had cycled all the way to Hungary when Peter slipped on tiles and broke his leg. After seven months of recovery, the couple set out again in Britain. They finally arrived in China in November 2018.Both Peter and Chris agreed that the best part of the entiretrip was coming across the kindness of strangers along the way, many of whom invited the couple for food and drink.

Fine particle pollution declined rapidly following the new rules on industrial emissions and the promotion of cleanfuels, according to the study, published on Monday in the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America. The study, which focused on the period from 2013-2017, was conducted by a group of Chinese researchers and scientists.PM2.5, as this kind of pollution is known, is so small that it can enter the bloodstream, potentially leading to cancer, stroke and heart attack in the long term. After rapid industrialization and weak regulations left the country with a reputation for smog and bad air quality, Chinese authorities started to take air pollution seriously in 2008.In 2013, Beijing had PM2.5 concentrations 40 times higher than levels recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO), and the governmentintroduced its toughest-ever clean air policies that year. The study found “signif icant declines” in PM2.5 levels across China from 2013-2017, with new standards for thermal power plants and industrial boilers, the replacement of old factories, and new emissions rules for vehicles. The authors say this “confirms the effectiveness of Chi na’s recent clean air actions.”These recent actions have seen Beijing fall out of the top 100 most-polluted cities in Asia in recent years, with the pollution levels 10% lower across Chinese cities between 2017 and 2018, according to a report by Greenpeace and AirVisual. Shanghai, the country’s largest city and financial capital, has also made environmental advances, such as adopting strict recycling regulations. Public pressure has been the driving force of pollution policy in China.Air pollution is a global issue, and India is now home to 22 of the 30 most polluted world cities, according to the Greenpeace and AirVisual report. In the US, a recent study said air pollutionwas linked to more than 107,000 deaths in 2011 and cost the country $866 billion.8. What saved many lives in China?A. China’s clean air policies.B. The increased particle pollution.C. The study by researchers.D. The reduction of the clean fuels.9. Why did PM2.5 cause many diseases?A. It was called smog.B. It made the air cleaner.C. It went into the blood.D. It had a bad reputation.10. When did Chinese government decide to treat the pollution?A. In 2008.B. In 2013.C. In 2017.D. In 2018.11. What did people in Shanghai do to protect the environment?A. They built the thermal power plants.B. They stopped using industrial boilers.C. They made Shanghai financial capital.D. They tried to recycle some rubbish.DIn the 1994 film Forrest Gump, there’s a famous saying, “Life is like a box of chocolates; you never know what you’re gonna get.” The surprise is part of the fun. Now blind box toys are bringing the magic of surprise to online shopping.A blind box toy is hidden inside uniform packaging(包装) butinvisible from the outside. You don’t know what will be inside, although the toys typically come from pop culture, ranging from movies to comics and cartoons.Blind boxes have caught on since they were first introduced from Japan to China in 2014. According to a 2019 Tmall report, the mini-series of Labubu blind box. designed by Hong Kong -born Kasing Lung, was named Champion of Unit Sales with 55,000 sold in just 9 seconds during the Singles Day shopping event. Most customers for blind boxes are young people aged 18 to 35.According to The Paper, blind box toys are popular in part because of their cute appearances. The typically cute cartoon figurines (小塑像) come in miniature (微型的) sizes, making them suitable for display almost anywhere.Even if blind boxes are not their top choice for decorations(装饰品), the mystery and uncertainty of the process also attracts people. It’s the main reason why people buy blind boxes one after another.“Fear of the unknown is always a part of the box-opening process,” said Miss Cao, 24, who lives and works in Shenyang. Speaking to Sina News, she said: “Until you open all the boxes, you cannot know what it is inside.”Opening a blind box is a delightful little surprise for our mundane daily lives, something small but fun to wait for each day, week or month. When people open this simple little box, they may be disappointed, but the uncertainty is part of the fun. People will open more blind boxes and hope for a better outcome.When someone re-makes Forrest Gump, don't be surprised if he says, “Life is like a blind box.”12.What feature of blind boxes attracts people?A.They often get toys designed by famous artists.B.They don’t know what they’ve got until they open them.C.They can learn about pop culture from the packaging.D.They can experience the excitement of online shopping.13.Why does Miss Cao love blind box toys?。

A billion thoughts raced through my brain in the closet. I didn’t want to come off as trying too hard, but I also didn’t want to be see n as a slob (懒汉). Not only was it my first day of high school, but it was my first day of school in a new state; first impressions are everything, and it was important for me to impress the people who I would spend the next four years with.This was my third time being the new kid. But this time was different because my dad promised that I would start and finish high school in the same place. This time mattered, and that made me nervous.cotton was comfortable, and the ruffled (有褶饰边的) shoulders added a hint of fun. Yes, this outfit was the one. An hour later, I felt powerful as I headed toward room 1136. But as I entered class, my jaw dropped to the floor.Sitting at her desk was Mrs Hutfilz, my English teacher, sporting exactly the same dress as me. I kept my head down and tiptoed to my seat. I made it through my minute (简短的) introduction speech until Mrs Hutfilz stood up, jokingly adding that she liked my style. Although this was the moment I had been afraid of from the moment I walked in, all my anxiety surprisingly melted away, and the students paid attention as I shared my story. My smile grew as I laughed with the students. After class, I stayed behind and talked to Mrs Hutfilz, relieved to make a humorous and real connection.Looking back four years later, the ten minutes I spent afraid of giving my speech were really not worth it. My first period of high school certainly made the day unforgettable in the best way and taught me that Mrs Hutfilz has an awesome sense of style!4.Why did the author attach great importance to her clothes on the first day of high school?A. She followed her father’s advice.B. She was unconfident about herself.C. She cared too much about her appearance.D. She wanted to make a good impression.5.

To introduce her stylish English teacher.D. To stress the importance of first impressions.CEach country has its own set of national stereotypes (刻板印象), but perhaps the most famous is Britain’s love of tea.According to the BBC, they drink over 60 billion cups each year. The most popular tea type in the UK is black tea. It’s a simple recipe:You find a mug, add a tea bag, pour boiling water, add milk and sugar (according to your taste) and finish by stirring.Usually, the only debate is whether milk should be added before or after the boiling water. But a recent popular video has outraged (使愤怒) Britons after completely changing this long-established method.American TikTok user, Sophie, posted her version of “British tea”, which involved microwaving cold water, then adding milk, sugar and an instant teabag containing powdered lemonade, cinnamon and clove (丁香) leaves.Mainstream media called the method “profoundly disturbed”, and a Twitter user even wrote, “I would rather see tea dumped (倾倒) into the Boston harbor than drink this abomination (可恶的东西).”As you can tell, tea is a precious part of B ritish life, whether you’re having afternoon tea at a fancy hotel or drinking it in a takeaway cup.“Rosie Lee” – a common slang term for tea – first came to Britain in the mid-1600s from China. Since then, the country’s love for it has not declined.Types of tea can even indicate someone’s social class, according to anthropologist (人类学家) Kate Fox. In her book, she notes that “teas get progressively weaker as one goes up the social ladder”, like black tea served during afternoon tea. At the opposite end, yo u have “builder’s teas”, which are standard black teas that are brewed (煮) stronger and include more milk and sugar.Fox added, “Taking sugar in your tea is a lower-class indicator: More than one and you are lower-middle at best; more than two and you are definitely working class.”Despite the disputes (争论) on what makes a perfect “cuppa”, Britons can at least agree on the saying, “No matter what is happening in your life, you always offer tea.”8. What do we know about tea drinking in the UK?A. They drink over 60 billion cups each month.B. They pour boiling water over the tea bag.C. “Rosie Lee” is Britons’ favorite tea type.D. Its history dates back to the 16th century.9. Why did Sophie’s video anger Britons?A. She criticized the way Britons drink tea.B. She added milk after the boiling water.C. Her way of making tea was against their tradition.D. She used a strange tea bag.10. If John is from the upper class, he probably puts ____ sugar(s) in his tea, according to Fox.A. noB. oneC. twoD. three11. What is the text mainly about?A. British tea traditions among different social classes.B. The debate on how to make perfect tea.C. The influence of tea drinking on Britons’ lives.D. Tea drinking culture in the UK.DA little over a year ago on Jan 3, 2019, China’s Chang’e 4 spacecraft did something that had never been done before –landing on the moon’s far side. Ever since then, the rover (探测车) it carried – Yutu 2 – has been sending back pictures of the lesser-seen side of our neighboring satellite.Now, the rover has shifted its sight from horizontal to vertical. In a paper published in the journal Science Advances on Feb 26, Chinese scientists revealed the underground structure of the Von Karman crater (火山口) –the area where Yutu 2 touched down. Using ground-penetrating radar (探地雷达), Yutu 2 was able to detect three distinct layers in the 40 meters beneath the flo or of the crater, which Science News compares to “layers of a cake”.The top 12-meter layer is made up of fine (细密的) dust and soil – a bit like the frosting (糖霜) on a cake. The second layer, stretching another 12 meters below, contains a great number o f large stones that are like “cherries in a fruitcake”, wrote Science News. And the next layer – which runs from 24 meters down to 40 meters – is a mixture of both large and fine materials, just like the whole-wheat bread base of a cake.This “layered cake” provides us with a glimpse into moon’s four billion-year history –and it was likely to be a violent one.According to the study’s leader, Su Yan, based at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the rocks in the layers are possibly leftover debris (碎片) from past impacts, suggesting asteroid collisions (小行星撞击). The finer soil is the sign of smaller meteorite (陨石) collisions, breaking down the rocks into smaller pieces, which were then gradually degraded (降解) by the radiation from the sun.But quite unlike a cake, the moon floor doesn’t just stop at the third layer. Instead, it stretches miles deeper. The reason th at Yutu 2’s data stopped at 40 meters was that it reached its maximum range. It may seem like a pity that it couldn’t go any farther for now, but the truth is that the technology has improved a lot since it was first used in 1972 by America’s Apollo 17 orbiter to map the structure of the moon.“The previous measurements indicated different layers, but they don’t seem to have come up with the level of detail about the physical properties of the subsurface that Chang’e 4 is producing,” Gretchen Benedix, a planetary scientist at Curtin University, Australia, told ABC News.Forty meters down is just the beginning of our research into the moon’s far side. With the aid of new technology, who knows what we could discover if we delved (钻研) even deeper?12.What does Paragraph 2 suggest?A. The rover detected the atmosphere of the moon.B. The rover had left the far side of the moon.C. The rover discovered the Von Karman crater with its radar.D. The rover detected the underground structure of a crater.13. What does the second layer of the crater contain?A. Fine dust.B. Soil.C. Large stones.D. A mixture of both large and fine materials.14. What does Paragraph 5 tell us?A. How important the three layers are to the crater.B. Why the moon probably had a violent history.C. How asteroids changed the moon’s surface.D. Why meteorite collisions happen frequently.15. What does Gretchen Benedix probably think of the measurements of Chang’e-4?A. They lack details.B. They are beyond expectations.C. They repeated the previous study.D. They are praiseworthy.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）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。

We can become wise because of the Internet．2.According to the third paragraph，we can do the following on the Internet EXCEPT______ ．A. go shoping without leaving homeB. see a doctor without going to the hospitalC. study without going to schoolD. draw money without banks3.The underlined sentence"The Internet also helps to open our minds．"means ______ ．A. we cannot think without the InternetB. something is wrong with our minds because of the InternetC. our minds can't be opened unless we search the InternetD. we can get some new ideas from the Internet4.The passage mainly tells us ______ ．A. the Internet helps us a lot in many waysB. we don't need banks，schools or hospitalsC. the Internet is everythingD. we cannot live without the Internet．BSports can help you keep fit and get in touch with nature．However，whether you are on the mountains，in the waves，or on the grassland，you should be aware that yoursport of choice might have great influence on the environment．Some sports are resource-hungry．Golf，as you may know，eats up not only large areas of countryside，but also tons of water．Besides，all sorts of chemicals and huge amounts of energy are used to keep its courses（球场）in good condition．This causes major environmental effects．For example，in the dry regions of Portugal and Spain，golf is often held responsible for serious water shortage in some local areas．There are many environment-friendly sports．Power walking is one of them that you could take up today．You don't need any special equipment except a good pair of shoes；and you don't have to worry about resources and your purse．Simple and free，power walking can also keep you fit．If you walk regularly，it will be good for your heart and bones．Experts say that 20 minutes of power walking daily can make you feel less anxious，sleep well and have better weight control．Whatever sport you take up，you can make it greener by using environment-friendly equipment and buying products made from reused materials．But the final goal should be"green gyms"．They are better replacements for traditional health clubs and modern sports centers．Members of green gyms play sports outdoors，in the countryside or other open spaces．There is no special requirement for you to start your membership．And best of all，it's free．5.Which of the following is the author most probably in favor of？ ______A. Cycling around a lake．B. Motor racing in the desert．C. Playing basketball in a gymD. Swimming in a sports center．6.What do we know about golf from the passage？ ______A.

To find out how people might react to it．B. To help passers-by reach their destinations．C. To see if it will give rides to strangers．D.

It will be put into the market quickly．D. It experienced a long and amazing journey．DThere is an old Chinese proverb that states “One Generation plants the trees; another gets the shade,” and this is how it should be with mothers and daughters. The relationship between a mother and daughter is sometimes confusing. If close, the relationship can be similar to friendship. However, the mother and daughter relationship has unique characteristics that distinguish it from a friendship. These characteristics include a hierarchy(等级) of responsibility and unconditional love, which preclude mothers and daughters from being best friends.Marina, 27 years old, says, “I love spending time with my mom, but I wouldn’t consider her my best friend. Best friends don’t pay for your wedding. Best friends don’t remind you how they carried you in thei r body and gave you life! Best friendsdon’t tell you how wise they are because they have been alive at least 20 years longer than you.” This doesn’t mean that the mother and daughter relationship canˈt be very close and satisfying.While some adult relationships are still troubled, many find them to be extremely rewarding. This generation of mothers and adult daughters has a lot in common which increases the likelihood of shared companionship. Mothers and daughters have always shared the common experience of being homemakers, responsible for maintaining and passing on family values and traditions. Today contemporary mothers and daughters also share the experience of the workforce and technology, which may bring them even closer together.Best friends may or may not continue to be best friends, but for better or worse, the mother and daughter relationship is permanent, even if for some unfortunate reason they aren’t speaking. The mother and child relationship is closer than any other. There is not an equal relationship. Daughters should not feel responsible for their mother’s emotional well-being. It isn’t that they don’t care deeply about their mothers. It’s just that they shouldn’t be burdened with their mother’s well being.The mother and daughter relationship is a relationship that is not replaceable by any other. Mothers never stop being mothers, which includes frequently wanting to protect their daughters and often feeling responsible for their happiness. Mother always “trumps”(王牌) friend.13.What does the underlined word “preclude” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?A. Differ.B. Prevent.C. Benefit.D. Change.14.What do we know from the text?A. The mother and daughter relationship can be replaced by a best friend.B. A mother’s love brings her and her daught er a close friendship.C. The mother and daughter relationship goes beyond best friends’ friendship.D. Marina has a troubled relationship with her mother.15.How does the author mainly prove his statements?A. By listing data.B. By giving explanations.C. By quoting sayings.D. By making examples.第二节 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)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。

高一英语期末试题答题时间：120分钟满分：150分第一部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节：阅读理解（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）AVolunteer Opportunities for Young AdultsWhen you give back——to others less fortunate or in need of special help, you will definitely feel good about yourself and the world. If you have a wish to be personally connected to the charity or organization where you are giving your time and money, here are some volunteer opportunities.★WatsiFounded by Chase Adams after a bus ride in Costa Rica in 2011, Wastsi is a digitally focused heath nonprofit for young adults.Watsi offers real-time tracking of where money donated goes, from basic medical services to surgeries.★Pencils of PromisePencils of Promise was founded by Adam Braun in October 2008. It is an on-profit organization that puts all of its time and funds into education in the developing world. Pencils of Promise encourages their donors to connect with others to increase donation. All the donation will be used to build schools, provide supplies and train teachers in poor and under educated countries.★Project LinusEverywhere you see young men and women knitting and crocheting(钩). They are using those skills to make blankets for children in need. Founded in 1995, in Denver, Colorado, Project Linus is an non-profit organization. Its goal is to provide warmth and safety through blankets to children across the nation in need.The organization is now led by Carol Babbit with the headquarters in Normal, IL.★Girls on the RunGirls on the Run was set up in1996 in Charlotte, North Carolina, with a team of 13 brave girls. Program founder Molly Barker struggled in her own life, and came to realize that a running program gave her “respect for my body and all t he things it can do”. Girls on the Run is a volunteer opportunity for teaching young girls about the benefits of running.1.Which organization has existed for about 9 years?A.Watsi.B.Pencils of Promise.C.Project Linus.D.Girls on the Run.2.How does Pencils of Promise help the world?A.It sells pencils to poor students.B.It focuses on children's health.C.It provides social media for poor kids.D.It helps increase educational opportunities.3.Which is right about Project Linus?A.It was set up by Carol Babbit.B.Its goal is to teach children how to knit.C.It supplies blankets to kids in need.D.It's an all-female organization.4.Who set up Girls on the Run?A.Chase Adams.B.Molly Barker.C.Carol BabbitD.Adam BraunBFor centuries, people have moved to and lived in cities. These urban centres are places to find work, friends and fun. It's no surprise that they continue to grow as more and more people flood in hoping to make the most of the chances they offer but adding to the congestion and pollution that already exist.According to a report by the United Nations, 54 percent of the world's population lives in urban areas and it predicts that by 2050,this figure will have increased to around 70 percent. But as more and morepeople move from the countryside to the city to get better chances, they can end up with nowhere to live.This is true in places such as Rio de Janeiro, where the people from the countryside can't rent or buy a home,and they end up building their own communities and houses on unoccupied land. These are called shanty towns— poor communities where the houses are built out of cheap materials—and often don't have any electricity or water supply.These are, of course, not the future cities we want to see. Some serious urban planning is needed to make our cities of the future good, safe and modern places to live in. This involves improving the housing conditions, the chances for education and employment and so on.Something urban planners are looking at now is th e creation of“smart cities”. According to John Rossant, founder and chairman of the non-profit organisation New Cities Foundation, technology is the way forward. He thinks that it's generally accepted that “cloud computing, ubiquitous Internet, robust 5G networks etc, will change our cities”. He says technology is really “a game changer” in urbanization (城市化). It would collect large amounts of data about how a city is working and may improve how a city functions.5.Why will a larger population be living in a city by 2050?A.Because the government encourages the development of cities.B.Because more people will have more children.C.Because the countryside will disappear.D.Because more people will move into the city to get more good opportunities6.What can we know about shanty towns?A.They have good quality housing built for poor people.B.They are filled with people living under poverty.C.They are built by the government.D.They are developed and modern.7.What name is given to a city that uses technology to help it function properly?A.Traditional cities.B.Future cities.C.Smart cities.D.Developing citiesC.Breathing dirty air can cost someone's life span(寿命) months一even years, a new study finds.Worldwide, air pollution lowers average life spans by a year. Scientists shared their new findings in Environmental Science & Technology Letters.Air pollution has been linked to many health problems.Most earlier studies has looked at how tiny air pollutants affected rates of illness or death. But now an environmental scientist, Joshua Apte, is going even further. He works at the University of Texas, Austin. He together with his team is looking at life expectancy, hoping to make the threat easier to understand.PM 2.5 is what scientists call tiny particles of pollution in the air. Higher levels of PM 2. 5 can cause health problems and cut months,if not years, from the average lifespan. This analysis show show pollution affects life expectancy in different parts of the world.The World Health Organization(WHO) recommends limiting PM 2.5 to 10 micrograms(微克) per cubic (立方)meter of air. Apte's group used data to try to find how this low level would help people. But meeting the WHO standard won't get rid of health damage from dirty air.That's because even below 10 micrograms per cubic meter pollution still causes huge risks.Reducing air pollution could increase life expectancy. The scientists also compared how other threats shorten life spans across the globe. These risk factors included smoking and cancer.These results show that in poor countries, cleaning up dirty air could greatly increase life spans. It could have as big an effect as cleaning up drinking water, or curing lung cancer. However, in wealthier countries air pollution shortens life expectancy by less than half a year. All forms of cancer, in fact, shorten the average life expectancy by more than 3.5 years.“Knowing this can really help people, or policymakers, decide where to spend their money,” says Kirk Smith.8.What is Joshua Apte's team trying to do?A.Let people understand air pollution better.B.Know how small air pollutants are.C.Study the life expectancy of different people.D.Study many different healthy problems.9.What will happen if one country limits PM 2.5 to 10 micrograms per cube meters?A.Its people will live a healthy life.B.Its air is very clean.C.It will get a prize from WHO.D.It still has pollution risks.10.What can we infer from the last paragraph?A.Cancer is the leading killer in all kinds of diseases.B.It's very hard to clean up dirty air in a short time.C.The study will help different countries take different policies.D.Reducing air pollution can increase all people's lifespans much.11.What can be the best title for the text?A.The Effect of Cancer Is Worse than Dirty AirB.Air Pollution Is Shortening Lives WorldwideC.Many Factors Are Affecting People's Healthernments Are Trying to Make Life Span LongDOnce when I was facing a decision that involved high risk, I went to a friend. He looked at me for a moment, and then wrote a sentence containing the best advice I’ve ever had: Be bold and brave––and mighty (强大的) forces will come to your aid.Those words made me see clearly that when I had fallen short in the past, it was seldom because I had tried and failed. It was usually because I had let fear of failure stop me from trying at all. On the other hand,whenever I had plunged into deep water, forced by courage or circumstance, I had always been able to swim until I got my feet on the ground again.Boldness means a decision to bite off more than you can eat. And there is nothing mysterious about the mighty forces. They are potential powers we possess: energy, skill, sound judgment, creative ideas––even physical strength greater than most of us realize.Admittedly, those mighty forces are spiritual ones. But they are more important than physical ones. A college classmate of mine, Tim, was an excellent football player, even though he weighed much less than the average player. “In on e game I suddenly found myself confronting a huge player, who had nothing but me between him and our goal line,” said Tim. “I was so frightened that I closed my eyes and desperately threw myself at that guy like a bullet––and stopped him cold.”Boldness––a willingness to extend your self to the extreme—is not one that can be acquired overnight. But it can be taught to children and developed in adults. Confidence builds up. Surely, there will be setbacks (挫折) and disappointments in life; boldness in itself is no guarantee of success. But the person who tries to do something and fails is a lot better off than the person who tries to do nothing and succeeds.So, always try to live a little bit beyond your abilities—and you’ll find your abilities are gre ater than you ever dreamed.12. Why was the author sometimes unable to reach his goal in the past?A. Fear prevented him from trying.B. He lacked mighty forces.C.He faced huge risks.D. Failure blocked his way to success.13. What is the implied meaning of the underlined part in Paragraph 3?A. Swallow more than you can digest.B. Act slightly above your abilities.C. Develop more mysterious powers.D.Learn to make creative decisions.14. What was especially important for Tim’s successful defense in the football game?A. His physical strength.B. His basic skill.C. His spiritual force.D. His real fear.15. What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage?A.To recommend people to develop more abilities.B.To advise people to build up physical power.C. To tell people the ways to guarantee success.D. To encourage people to be courageous第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）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。

Z20名校联盟（浙江省名校新高考研究联盟）2023-2024学年高三上学期第一次联考英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________二、阅读理解The ebike has become an essential item, and even the King has been spotted riding one. According to the market research company Mintel, sales have almost tripled over the past five years. While ebikes have become increasingly commonplace, they are still undeniably expensive. You can pick up a perfectly adequate push bike for £300, but most ebikes cost nearly £2,000. Now, Cycling Electric, designed to help consumers choose an ebike, offers the following recommendations.Best folding bikeCarbo Model XPrice: £2, 799 | Weight: 13.3kgRange: up to 34 milesThis is one of the most convenient bikes, from a little-known label. The lightweight Carbo X is the perfect example of convenience thanks to its carbon frame and belt drive, instead of a metal bike chain. This makes it lighter and less likely to get messy than an electric Brompton, with its more traditional, oily chain.Most stylishTemple Cycles ClassicPrice: from £2, 995 | Weight: 19kgRange: up to 74 milesThis Bristol-based brand is known for its elegant pushbikes, which are hand-built in the city.This is its electric version. It’s a very sleek and functional commuter option and not too heavy. Temples have fewer proprietary (品牌专卖的) parts and so are serviceable in any bike shop. Stylish as they may be, the VanMoofs and the Cowboys can be a bit more complex to get back-up and service.The money-no-object optionRiese & Müller Nevo4 GT Vario GXPrice: £5, 380 | Weight: 28.4kgRange: up to 93 milesThis is a prime example of the attention to detail delivering a high-quality experience in functionality, comfort and practicality — if you can afford it. It has the capacity to handle 25kg of luggage in a pannier, powerful road lights and a beautifully smooth motor.21．What is the advantage of the Temples over other stylish ebike brands?A．They are more lightweight. B．They have more functions.C．They have easier access to service. D．They are more comfortable.22．Which ebike will a consumer probably choose, who cares most about an excellent experience?A．Carbo Model X. B．The VanMoofs and the Cowboys.C．Temple Cycles Classic. D．Riese & Müller Nevo4 GT Vario GX. 23．Where is the text probably taken from?A．An online post. B．A magazine column.C．A market research report. D．An official document.【答案】21．C 22．D 23．B【导语】本文是一篇应用文，主要介绍的是Cycling Electric推荐的三款电动自行车。

Employee.BGeorge and Carol were medical students at the same college, and like many other college students, they enjoyed playing jokes on people. Both of them smoked, but they knew that their professor was strongly against it, because smoking was dangerous to one’s health. One day they decided to play a joke on their professor.At one of their medical lectures there was always a skeleton（骨骼）in the room so that the professor could show the students different bones in the human body.That afternoon, Carol and George put a cigarette in the mouth of the skeleton that was to be used to the next lecture.When the professor came in, he began talking and then noticed the cigarette. He went up to the skeleton, took the cigarette out of its mouth and said, “You really should give them up, old boy, look what they are doing to you!”6. What do you know the professor’s words mean?A.

English speakers are always creating（创造）new words, and we should be able to know where most words come from.Sometimes, however, no one may really know where a word comes from. Did you ever think about why hamburgers are called hamburgers, especially when they are not made with ham（火腿）? About a hundred years ago, some men went to America from Europe. They came from a big city in Germany called Hamburg. They did not speak good English,but they ate good food. When some Americans saw them eating round pieces of beef（牛肉）,they asked the Germans what it was. The Germans did not understand the question and answered, “We came from Hamburg.” One of these Americans owned a restaurant and had an idea. He cooked some round pieces of beef like what the men from Hamburg ate. Then he put them between two pieces of bread and started selling them. Today “hamburgers” are sold in many countries around the world.Whether this story is true or not, it certainly is interesting. Knowing why any word has a certain meaning is interesting, too. The reason may be found in any large English dictionary.11. According to the writer, English ___.A. is as old as ChineseB. is older than GermanC. is not so old as ChineseD. is very difficult to learn12.
