He happened to look up and saw Zeus fly by. The king of gods was carrying a lovely river spirit (小精灵) in his arms.“That Zeus,” sighed (叹气) King Sisyphus. “What a trouble-maker!”Soon after, the river god Asopus flew by. “Sisyphus! Have you seen my daughter?” he asked.“If you give my city a source of fresh water, I will tell you what I saw,” King Sisyphus shouted back. Immediately, a clear stream (水流) of fresh water appeared.“Zeus took her that way,” the king pointed.The king knew Zeus would be angry when he found out what he had done. But Corinth badly needed a source of fresh water. And finally, it had one.Sure enough, Zeus was very angry. He told his brother Hades (the god of the underworld) to take Sisyphus to the underworld immediately!“When they tell you I am dead, do not put a gold coin under my tongue,” King Sisyphus said quietly to his wife. As a good wife, she did exactly as the king had told her.Because Sisyphus was an important person, Hades himself met him at the River Styx, the entrance to the underworld. Because no gold coin was placed under his tongue(舌头), the king arrived as a poor beggar.“Where is your gold coin?” Hades asked. “How can you pay for a trip across the River Styx and arrive in the underworld?”King Sisyphus hung his head in shame. “I had a terrible wife. She didn’t give me anything after I had died.”“Go right back there and teach that woman some manners!” Hades raised his voice. He then sent Sisyphus back to Earth.

In his lifetime, he not only proved that bacteria are the cause of diseases, but also discovered the process of vaccination (接种疫苗) which has saved billions of lives.When Pasteur worked with chickens that were suffering from cholera(霍乱) during his experiments, he accidentally spread cholera to his chickens. Pasteur’s chickens became mildly sick but did not die. This was strange as every chicken that came near cholera earlier had died. He realized soon that the cholera had become weak. By the time he tried again, the chickens he had cured earlier did not get cholera anymore. He realized that a weak cholera helped his chickens develop an antibody against it.Later, Pasteur went on to try this on cows, pigs and dogs. All his research helped him develop different vaccines. We now know that the process of vaccination introduces a weakened kind of bacteria into our body. Our body reacts by creating antibodies to fight the bacteria. Now, when our body comes across the same bacteria which are much stronger, it can fight them off.Louis Pasteur received numerous awards for the advancement of biology, chemistry, and medicine. He founded the Pasteur Institute to study diseases. It was the first university to teach microbiology and today there are 32 institutes across 29 countries. For every childvaccinated against a deadly disease, we have Louis Pasteur to thank.8．What do we know about Louis Pasteur?A．His discoveries weren’t used at his time.B．He discovered the connection between bacteria and diseases.C．He was a professor at the Pasteur Institute.D．His discoveries brought many profits and awards to him.9．What can we learn from his experiment with chickens?A．Cholera was not a deadly disease then.B．Pasteur spread cholera to chickens on purpose.C．All chickens suffered from cholera died at last.D．The weakened cholera couldn’t kill the living creatures10．What is the function of the process of vaccination?A．It builds up people’s body.B．Without it, people will die.C．It improves people’s ability to avoid diseases.D．It can kill all the diseases and make the sick bealthy.11．Why does the author write the passage?A．Because he wants to honour Louis Pasteur and his contribution to the world.B．Because he wants to show the discoveries of the vaccination.C．Because be wants to call on children to learn from Louis PasteurD．Because he wants to introduce an important invention in microbiology.Tall, long-necked giraffes are famous for their spots which are believed to help the animals hide from their enemies. Just like no two humans have the same fingerprints, each giraffe has its own special pattern of spots. However, a Tennessee zoo made headlines recently after it welcomed one of the world’s most uncommon giraffes.On July 31, a baby giraffe was born at Brights Zoo with light brown fur which is a reticulated (网状的) giraffe, one of the four different kinds of giraffes. Unlike most giraffes, she was born without spots, a unique feature of the reticulated giraffe. At six feet tall, this baby giraffe is growing well under her mother’s care. She shows typical baby giraffe behavior, such as eating rocks.Experts said the young giraffe was the only single-colored reticulated giraffe livinganywhere on the planet. The last time this happened was 1972 in Japan. A giraffe’s pattern of spots is created when the animal is still growing inside its mother. That means that this giraffe will never have spots.“The new giraffe might not have survived if she had been born in the wild. Being single-colored, she may not be able to hide quite as well,” said Mr. David Bright, who runs the zoo, “It will easily be a key target for poachers (偷猎者) because she’s so unusual.”Brights Zoo stressed that reticulated giraffes had already become imperiled. In 2018, they were officially listed as “threatened”. Thirty-five years ago, there were 36,000 reticulated giraffes. Now, the number has been cut by more than 50%. Only about 16,000 reticulated giraffes remain.This brown giraffe’s birth is not only a rare and fascinating event, but also an opportunity to raise awareness about the challenges faced by giraffes in the wild. By supporting efforts like this, we can contribute to the conservation of these large creatures and ensure their survival for generations to come.12．What do we know about the spots of giraffes?A．They help protect giraffes.B．They are the same pattern.C．They look like giraffes’ footprints.D．They appear on giraffes occasionally. 13．What makes the young giraffe born at Brights Zoo special?A．Its extremely large size.B．Its light brown fur.C．Its unusual eating habit.D．Its absence of spots.14．What does the underlined word “imperiled” mean in paragraph 5?A．Recognized.B．Endangered.C．Doubled.D．Balanced. 15．Which word can best describe the birth of the young giraffe?A．Awkward.B．Worrying.C．Meaningful.D．Foreseeable.二、七选五V olunteering your time to support a cause you like is something you will never regret.better understand how you fit into the world around you.17 In fact, spending time enriching your community is a great way to broaden your perceptions of the world.

She gets everything she wants! Why do you feel sorry for her?” I burst into tears.My mom sat down next to me and said softly. “Yes, I do feel sorry for her. I have beenteaching you a lesson that she will never be taught.”I looked up at her. “What are you talking about?”Mom said with care, “One day she will really want something. Maybe she’ll find out that she can’t have it. Her mother won’t always be around to give her money, and what’s more, money can’t buy everything.”She continued, “I have taught you valuable lessons by not giving you everything you want. You’ll know how to look for bargains and save money, but she won’t. You’ll understand that you need to work hard to get the things that you want but she won’t. When Tiffany is a grown woman, she’ll wake up one day and she will be wishing that she had a mom like the one you’ve got. Life lessons are more important than modern clothes and delicious food.”It took some time, but I eventually understood my mom’s words.

However, this has not stopped the country from creating great building projects. On September 26, UAE officials announced another ambitious project — Mars Science City. Expansive deserts and miles of coastline provide plenty of options for safe rocket launches (发射). And its position on the Earth makes it especially appealing as the spin of the Earth provides an extra push, meaning less fuel is needed to get payloads into orbit. All these seem to make it possible.The Mars City Project, designed by Bjarke Ingels Group, or BIG, will provide a realistic model to simulate (模仿) living on the surface of Mars, the red planet. It is part of the UAE’s Mars 2117 Project to lead the global race to land humans on Mars and be the first to build a settlement there. Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid, Prime Minister and ruler of Dubai, says, “The UAE seeks international support to develop technologies that benefit humans, and lay the foundation of a better future for more generations to come.”Built outside Dubai, the 1.9 million square feet city is expected to cost $135 million. It will consist of several dome-shaped laboratories, similar to the ones imagined for the first Mars settlers. Scientists from around the word will be invited to conduct research to come up with methods to create food, water and energy, using techniques which can be copied onto the red planet. The living spaces, where the researchers can live for up to a year, will simulate the planet’s conditions as much as possible.The research city will also include a museum featuring famous space achievements to help educate and inspire children to undertake space exploration and discovery. To discover whether the construction method works on Mars, the museum’s walls will be 3D printed using the sand from the nearby desert. Now, if they would only add some living quarters for the general public to experience life on Mars without leaving Earth, life would be perfect. 8．What can we conclude about the United Arab Emirates?A．It is short of fine weather.B．It is a nice place for launching.C．It can provide adequate fuel supply.D．It has the greatest architects in the world.9．What will scientists do in the laboratories?A．Educate visitors on trips to Mars.B．Develop the Mars settlers’ imagination.C．Find ways to produce food, water and energy on Mars.D．Create a climate-controlled environment for future use.10．Why will the museum’s walls be 3D printed?A．To show famous space techniques.B．To make full use of the nearby desert.C．To inspire children to love exploration.D．To test building skills used by Mars settlers.11．What’s the best title for the text?A．UAE to Build Mars Science CityB．UAE’s Great Exploration of MarsC．UAE to Build First Mars SettlementD．UAE’s Scientistific Contribution to HumansWhich comes first, happiness or money? Are richer people happier? And if so, how do people get much richer? A recent study could tell you the answer.The study looked into thousands of teenagers and found that those who felt better about life as young adults tended to have higher incomes by the time they turned 29. Those who were happiest earned an average of 8,000 more than those who were the most depressed.The researchers, from University College London and the University of Warwick, say that very gloomy teens, no matter how tall or smart they were, earned 10% less than their peers, while the happier ones earned up to 30% more.Happier teenagers have an easier time getting through school, college and a job interview, chiefly because they always feel better about life.It may also be true that happier people find it easier to make friends, who are often the key to homework help or networking.A report in June suggested that professional respect was more important than dollars in terms of workplace happiness.In August, scientists announced that they had found the gene for happiness in women.However, the same gene doesn’t appear to have the same effect on men.And in October researchers in the UK and in the US announced that people who eat seven portions of fruit and vegetables a day report being the happiest.The big question is: if it really is true that happier kids end up being wealthier kids, is it necessary for parents to get their kids to do the homework?The fact is that no homework will make kids happy but surely hurt their grades.Studies do show, after all, that more educationleads to better­paid jobs, which may give us a deep thought.“These findings show that the teenagers’ happiness is important to their future success, ” one of the report’s authors writes.” But what is the most important is that we should find a way to help children gain more satisfaction from doing schoolwork.”12．What conclusion can the researchers draw from the recent study?A．Wealth has nothing to do with happiness at all.B．Money can make people become happier.C．Happy teenagers grow up to be wealthier.D．Schoolwork can help teens achieve success.A．they are hopeful and optimistic about their lifeB．they are good at doing their schoolworkC．they are easy to communicate with othersD．they eat much more fruit and vegetables a dayA．wealthy B．generousC．happy D．upset15．What can be the best title for the text?A．The Way to Educate Kids B．The Secret of Being WealthierC．How to Achieve Your Goal D．The Source of Happiness二、七选五How to Do Well in Science ClassDoing well in science depends on developing useful study skills and learning to participate (参与) in class. 16 If you've got good study skills that you've developed in other courses, you'll be able to use many of these to do well in science.Read the required material. When your teacher requires reading from a textbook or a website, take time to read it before you come to class. If you don't have time to read it well, it's a good idea to look quickly at it so that you have an idea of what it's about. 17 Take clear and organized notes. The notes you take in class will help you know what to study between classes. 18 Instead, pay careful attention to any information your teacherstresses, which is likely to be included on tests.19 Many science classes include laboratory experiments, which are practice of techniques you've learned about in your textbook or lectures. Your teacher will expect you to show up ready to start your experiment. Read the instructions for the laboratory in advance of class.Reread your notes after class. If there's anything in your notes that confuses you, or which you feel might be wrong, check with your teacher or a classmate to ensure you have the right information. 20 This tests your understanding of the material in a way that ensures you've really grasped (理解) the meaning.A．It includes doing a good job in laboratories as well.B．Work in a group with others in class.C．Be prepared for the laboratory experiment.D．Recording a lecture will allow you to hear it again.E．It also helps you be prepared to answer questions and have discussions.F．It may help you to rewrite your notes in a better way.G．Don't try to write down everything that the teacher says.三、完形填空I’ve noticed that conversations with my children have started to turn into something Ias they’re finished, I go into mom mode.“You should...”, “You need to consider...”, “If I were you, I’d...” “Mom!”The tone is full of 24 and annoyance.When I get one of my adult kids on the phone, I become a(n) 25 on everything, which I’m obviously not. I want to be part of their lives and 26 them from making mistakes that seem so obvious to me.I’m hardly 27 in this. Over lunch the other day, a friend told me that her son 28 listened to anything she said. “It’s like talking to a wall!” I know that feeling well. But I’m learning slowly that talking at is not the same as talking with.Giving advice to children can be full of problems. Though we may see ourselves 29the wisdom of our years, they see something else. They see a 30 parent who hasn’t accepted the fact that they’re adults with their own thoughts and feelings. They’re not 31 any tips. They may not even want a(n) 32 solution to a difficult problem. What they’re hoping for is a safe place to talk with a person who loves and 33 them no matter what.Because of this, I’ve given myself the 34 of becoming a better parent by being a better listener. It’s not an easy task for parents like me but I’m 35 .21．A．fault B．offer C．guilt D．charge 22．A．predict B．hesitate C．panic D．think 23．A．controlling B．bothering C．educating D．frightening 24．A．amusement B．criticism C．debate D．embarrassment 25．A．expert B．adult C．fighter D．partner 26．A．inspire B．protect C．prevent D．affect 27．A．creative B．alone C．actual D．desperate 28．A．rarely B．carefully C．eventually D．frequently 29．A．evaluating B．selecting C．sharing D．opposing 30．A．respectable B．confusing C．challenging D．controlling 31．A．leaving out B．looking for C．trying out D．settling for 32．A．immediate B．optional C．complex D．wicked 33．A．praises B．shapes C．remind D．supports 34．A．stress B．pressure C．goal D．possibility 35．A．stressed B．determined C．respectful D．disqualified四、用单词的适当形式完成短文五、根据汉语意思填写单词professional player.

AHere are top 4 destinations to start your new trip.IrelandIf you’re looking for the right mixture of history, culture and nature, you’ll find it in Ireland. You can enjoy surprising views here. If you’re in the mood for a boat trip, consider giving it a try in the evening in Cork—it’s truly magical.ItalyItaly has so many fascinating cities and places to visit, but it would be impossible to see them all in one go. A road trip could work, and Rome is a great place to start. You’re steeped in history throughout the city with the Pantheon and the Colosseum, as well as the historic and architectural gems in the Vatican City. Throw a coin into the Trevi di Fontana before you leave the city, which means you’ll return here one day.ThailandThailand has some of the best beaches in the world, even before Leonardo DiCaprio made Maya Bay, on Phi Phi Leh, lamous in The Beach. Admittedly, the film does a great job of describing this beautiful island, yet green waters and white sands are pretty standards in this country.United Arab EmiratesIf you’re one of those people who love all luxurious (奢侈的) things, then a trip to Dubai is for you. With year-long sun and grand hotels, this is the place for endless shopping, cocktail drinking by a plush pool and sunbathing on an artificial beach—the Palm Islands. Head to theGolden Souk for a spot of jewellery (珠宝) shopping. If you’re feeling hungry, you can eat at the Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest building.1．What may one mean by throwing a coin into the Trevi di Fontana?A．Getting more coins.

She shared her thoughts on Tuesday at an event in New York, where she was among those honored as being among Time magazine’s 100 most influential people of 2022, and she discussed her motivation and the possible roles she may play after the Olympics.Asked whether she had second thoughts about her decision to represent China in the Olympics, considering the current tension between the US and China, Gu said not at all.“No, I don’t have any regrets,” she said, because every day on her social media she receives messages from hundreds of young girls worldwide who call her their inspiration. “Sports are a shared experience transcending gender, age, race, background and culture,” Gu said, adding that they can bring about cultural exchanges, communication and uplift one another, generating a cycle of positivity.Gu also announced that she would be the ambassador for the US Winter Olympic Games bid in Salt Lake City in 2030. Gu said, “This is a beautiful exa mple of globalism and the capacity that we can use skiing, we can use sports, we can use the winter sports to connect people.”4．What do we know about Gu Ailing?A．She was a China-born Olympic skiing gold medalistB．She won four medals at the Beijing 2022 winter gamesC．She didn’t regret having represented China in the OlympicsD．She was honored as one of the 100 most influential people of 2022 by Thames5．Why did Eileen Gu compete for China?A．To win gold medals in the Winter OlympicsB．To motivate China’s young girls to love skiingC．To promote cultural exchanges, communication and uplift one anotherD．To announce that she would be the ambassador for the US Winter Olympic Games 6．What do sports mean to Gu?A．They are of benefit to health B．They are entertaining eventsC．They make athletes famous D．They create a positive cycle7．What is the text?A．A book review B．Health magazineC．Celebrity interview D．Personal diaryCSomalia, Kenya, and now Ethiopia are warning of a serious drought (干旱)that affects millions of people in Eastern Africa. In Ethiopia’s Somali area, people have seen the failures of what should have been three straight rainy seasons. Droughts do come and go over the years. However, the lack of rainfall has led to the driest conditions in 40 years in parts of Somalia and Ethiopia.UNICEF is the United Nation’s children’s agency. Local Zaynab Wali told a visiting team with UNICEF that she and her seven children had never seen a drought like this. She said the government gav e out food for animals during the last drought five years ago. “This time, we even don’t have enough food for our family.”Children walk among the bodies of dead animals, which died from lack of food and energy. Somalia Consortium works to improve international aid for Somalia. It said in a separate statement that in Somalia, more than 7 million people need emergency help. It is asking international organizations to give much more to the country.“We are just one month into the long dry season, and I have already lost 25 goats and sheep,” Hafsa Bedel in Ethiopia’s Somali area told UNICEF. She also lost four camels, a large desert animal, as well. She said there was nowhere for her animals to eat. She added that there was not enough food for her own family, including her six children.UNICEF thinks that more than 150,000 children in such areas of Ethiopia have dropped out of school. They are needed to help find the limited amount of water and help their families with other work.One young boy was seen supporting an animal, a donkey. The donkey was once important for carrying goods. But now, it had become too weak to walk on its own.8．Why did Zaynab Wali mention the last drought?A．To show the need to protect animals. B．To express her disappointment this time. C．To prove the high frequency of drought. D．To praise the government for its timely help. 9．What is Somalia Consortium trying to do now?A．Get more foreign help.B．Warn people of the risk of drought.C．Offer more education to the children there.D．Make clear the number of people in need.10．What does the last paragraph mainly want to tell us?A．The sweet picture of the boy and the animal.B．The functions of animals in farming.C．The importance of taking care of the weak animal.D．The seriousness of the drought.11．Which is the most suitable title for the text?A．Drought in Eastern Africa Leaves Animals in DangerB．Drought Makes People of Eastern Africa Leave Their HomeC．UN Officials Care for Children Affected by DroughtD．Millions Face Risk as Drought Affects Eastern AfricaDCan you imagine there being a community where boys and girls growing up together can finally speak different languages? In Ubang Nigeria, it really happens. It’s not exactly clear what percentage of the words in the men’s and women’s languages are different, but there are enough examples to make sentences sound different when spoken by the opposite sex. For “clothing”, men use the word “nki”, while women say “ariga”; “kitchi” means tree for men, while women say “okweng”. The se are not just some slight pronunciation differences, but totally different words. “It’s almost like two different lexicons (词汇集),” a language expert, Chi Chi Undle said. “There are a lot of words that men and women share in common, but there are others which are totally different depending on your sex. They don’t sound alike, and don’t have the same letters. They are completely different words.”Interestingly, both men and women are able to understand each other perfectly in Ubang, as both boys and girls grow up around their parents and get to learn both languages, but by the age of 10, boys are expected to speak in the male tongue. It seems that there is a stage the male will reach and he discovers he is not using the rightful language. When he starts spe aking the men’s language, you know the maturity is coming into him.No one really knows how or why the double-language tradition of Ubang began. Chi Chi Undie believes the two languages are the result of a “double-sex culture” where men and women operate in two separate spheres (范围) and live in separate worlds that rarely come together. However, she admits this is a weak theory, as the double-sex culture is present in many parts of Africa, where there are no different languages for men and women.Today, wit h English words constantly entering the lexicon of young Nigerians, Ubang’s two languages are in danger of being lost forever. Worse still, neither the male nor female language is written down, so they both rely on young people passing them down to the next generation. 12．What do we know about languages in Ubang?A．Word differences account for a high percentage.B．Men and women speak totally different languages.C．Word differences partly exist between the opposite sex.D．Men and women pronounce differently on the same word.13．What does the underlined word “maturity” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A．Graduation. B．Adventure. C．Responsibility. D．Adulthood.14．What does Chi Chi Undie want to explore in Paragraph 3?A．The change of double-sex culture. B．The theory of doube-sex culture.C．The origin of double-language tradition. D．The sphere of double-language tradition. 15．How does the author feel about the disappearing languages in Ubang?A．Frightened. B．Concerned. C．Confused. D．Stressed.第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.Health Warning as UK SweltersPeople across the UK have enjoyed the sunshine this week, but they have also been advised to be careful as a heat wave hits much of the country.A heat wave is defined 1 a period of hot weather where temperatures are higher than is expected for the time of year. They usually happen in summer.However, climate change (long-term changes to weather patterns, mostly 2 (cause) by human activities such as burning fossil fuels, farming and cutting down forests) is increasing the chance of heat waves happening and making then more extreme. The current hot weather is even 3 (much) extreme in some European countries — temperatures in southern Spain have reached 46℃.Heat waves can be a danger to people’s health, especially for vulnerable groups such as the elderly, children and people 4 certain health conditions. However, anyone 5 suffer from the effects of extreme heat, including dehydration (not having enough water) and heatstroke (a condition caused by the body overheating). A group of leading UK scientists have recommended that heat waves 6 (name) in order to raise awareness of the health risks.The Met Office, the UK’s national weather service, has issued an amber warning. Temperatures are expected 7 (rise) to 35℃, and there have been predictions 8 the record for the UK’s hottest day could be broken. Government officials have met to discuss whether to introduce a heat wave emergency.To cope with hot weather, the NHS (National Health Service) says people should try to keep out of the Sun between 11 am and 3 pm, 9 temperatures are at their highest and the sun is strongest. Make sure you wear a hat, 10 (apply) sunscreen under the sunlight and drink plenty of water. If you are swimming outdoors to cool down, make sureyou’re with a trusted adult and follow local safety advice.二、选用适当的单词或短语补全短文Golden Rules of Good DesignWhat makes good design? Over the years, designers and artists have been trying to 11 the essentials of good design. They have found that some sayings can help people understand the ideas of good design. There are four as follows.Less is more. This saying is associated with the German-born architect Mies van der Rohe. In his Modernist view, beauty lies in simplicity and elegance, and the aim of the designer is to create solutions to problems through the most efficient means. Design should avoid unnecessary 12More is not a bore. The American-born architect Robert Venturi concluded that if simplicity is done badly, the result is 13 design. Post-Modernist designers began to 14 with decoration and color again. Product design was heavily influenced by this view and can be seen in kitchen 15 such as ovens and kettles.Fitness for purpose. Successful product design takes into consideration a product’s function, purpose, shape, form, color, and so on. The most important result for the user is that the product does what is 16 . For example, think of a(n) 17 desk lamp. It needs to be constructed from materials that will stand the heat of the lamp and regular adjustments by the user. It also needs to be stable. Most importantly, it needs to 18 light where it is needed. Form follows emotion. This phrase is associated with the German designer Hartmut Esslinger. He believes design must take into 19 the sensory side of our nature——sight, smell touch and taste. These are as important as rational. When choosing everyday products such as toothpaste, we appreciated a cool-looking device that allows us to easily 20 the toothpaste onto our brush.三、完形填空The beauty, majesty, and timelessness of a primary rainforest are indescribable. It ishad the awe-inspiring experience of standing in the heart of a primary rainforest.Rainforests have 22 over millions of years to turn into the incredibly complex environments they are today. Rainforests represent a store of living and 23 renewable natural resources that for an immeasurably long period of time, by virtue of their richness in both animal and plant species, have 24 a wealth of resources for the survival and well-being of humankind. These resources have included basic food supplies, clothing, shelter, fuel, spices, industrial raw materials, and medicine for all those who have lived in the majesty of the forest. 25 , the inner dynamics (动力学；相互作用的方式) of a tropical rainforest is a complex and fragile system. Everything is so 26 that upsetting one part can lead to unknown damage or even destruction of the whole. Sadly, it has taken only a century of human intervention to destroy what nature designed to 27 forever.The scale of human 28 on ecosystems everywhere has increased enormously in the last few decades. Since 1980 the global economy has tripled in size and the world population has increased by 30 percent. Consumption of everything on the planet has risen — at a cost to our 29 . In 2001, The World Resources Institute estimated that the demand for rice, wheat, and corn is expected to grow by 40% by 2025, increasing irrigation water demands by 50% or more. They further reported that the demand for wood could double by the year 2050; 30 , it is still the tropical forests of the world that supply the most part of the world’s demand for wood.In 1950, about 15 percent of the Earth’s land surface was covered by rainforest. Today, more than half has already gone up in 31 . In fewer than fifty years, about half of the world’s tropical rainforests have fallen 32 to fire or deforestation, and the rate of destruction is still 33 . Unbelievably, more than 200,000 acres of rainforest are burned every day. That is more than 150 acres lost every minute of every day, and 78 million acres lost every year! More than 20 percent of the Amazon rainforest is already gone, and much more is severely 34 as the destruction continues. If nothing is done to control this 35 , the entire Amazon could well be gone within fifty years. Fewer rainforests mean lessrain, less oxygen for us to breathe, and an increased threat from global warming. 21．A．establish B．claim C．capture D．prove 22．A．extended B．evolved C．expanded D．resolved 23．A．energizing B．healing C．isolating D．breathing 24．A．destroyed B．contributed C．reduced D．affected 25．A．However B．Furthermore C．Therefore D．Otherwise 26．A．active B．positive C．interdependent D．dominant 27．A．restore B．support C．relieve D．last 28．A．pressure B．resources C．concern D．strengths 29．A．existence B．ecosystem C．species D．survival 30．A．unfortunately B．consequently C．naturally D．similarly 31．A．store B．food C．smoke D．wealth 32．A．subject B．down C．apart D．victim 33．A．running out B．going up C．holding back D．falling down 34．A．released B．revealed C．threatened D．boosted 35．A．trend B．practice C．intention D．attitude四、阅读理解Seasickness and sunburn.

But after five sleep-deprived (睡眠不足的) years working as a junior doctor, I was willing to take the risk.Hungry for adventure, I boarded a bright white ship in Singapore. With 2,000 passengers and crew, she was the size of a small town.To my relief, the hospital was well equipped, with an X-ray machine and a blood analyzer.That first cruise (航行) was a learning experience, a tight schedule full of safety drills (演习). There was so much new information to take in. Even remembering which of the uniforms to wear each day was a challenge. Most confusing, I often forgot to change my clock when the ship crossed time zones.As a doctor, I was responsible for the 600 crew including waiters, engineers, cooks andnavigators (领航员), and I was on call (随时待命的) for the entire ship.Far from treating seasickness and sunburn, as I’d been warned, my patients were wide and varied. The ship’s medical center was essentially a floating emergency room, but we didn’t have a team of specialists on hand for a second opinion. With long and unpredictable hours, it required mental toughness.As you can guess, many of the passengers were elderly. Heart attacks don’t care about geography and emergency evacuations (疏散) were difficult to arrange.I recall one such patient, who was taken off the ship on a stretcher (担架) halfway through the Panama Canal. After a terrifying ride in the back of an old ambulance, I was relieved that the patient survived long enough to arrive at the hospital in Panama City.Thankfully, there were several unexpected benefits to the job. I regularly enjoyed the passenger facilities, including the gym, spa and deck buffet (甲板自助餐). I even hosted my own table of passengers in the evenings. On rare days off, I volunteered as a tour guide on trips ashore (在陆地). I got to fly over Alaska in a seaplane and watched a ballet in St Petersburg.I now understand that being a cruise ship doctor is not a job — it’s a way of life.One year at sea became two. I lost my career ambitions, but I redefined happiness in my life.36．What can we know about the author’s first cruise?A．She missed her job as a doctor.B．She enjoyed a relaxing lifestyle.C．She had to learn a lot of things.D．She often felt confused about her job duties.37．Why does the author mention the patient who was sent to the hospital in Panama City?A．To tell that it was difficult to look after old patients.B．To prove that being a cruise ship doctor is more tiring.C．To stress the importance of a well-equipped hospital on the ship.D．To show it was challenging to handle emergency situations on the ship.38．What is Paragraph 9 mainly about?A．The author’s experience as a tour guide.B．The advantages of being a cruise ship doctor.C．The loneliness of being the ship’s only doctor.D．Various facilities for passengers on the cruise ship.39．What does the author think of her experience as a cruise ship doctor?A．It was too stressful to tolerate.B．It helped her build a better career.C．It changed her understanding of happiness.D．It provided opportunities to make more friends.Are You a Moring Person?Mornings are not for everyone. Knowing that our own bodies may be wired to prefer a certain time of day is certainly a relief. But many of us still have to wake up and function during those first daylight hours. So what can you do?We tapped a variety of experts - from sleep experts to nutritionists to life organizational pros (生活管理达人) — to share their tricks on how to make morning less stressful and more pleasant for even the most after-hours of night owls.1. Night wakingPoor sleep quality can explain why we sometimes wake up from eight hours of snoozing and feel like we only clocked in at four. “It’s normal to have one or two awakenings, but more than that leaves us feeling groggy (昏昏沉沉) in the morning because of the fragmented sleep,” explains Shelby Harris, director of the behavioral sleep medicine program at Montefiore Medical Center.2. The Science of snoozingThe snooze button does more harm than good. Nodding off again sends you into a light and fragmented sleep! Multiple snoozes can leave you feeling groggier than just getting out of bed the first time. Instead, be honest about the time you intend to get up and then enjoy every last minute of sleep, so you can wake up alert and ready to go.3. Don’t ease into your workdayIt can be tempting to plow through the easy things early on—checking e-mail, scanning the headlines—but it’s wise to tackle the bigger stuff first. “Getting to work on the most important tasks not only ups the chances that they actually get done, but it also leaves you with a burst of accomplishment to take with you the rest of the day,” says Jason Selk, coauthor of Organize Tomorrow Today.4. Save social media for laterSchedule a social media block later in the afternoon to check in when you’re likely toneed a break anyway, and save the morning for the important stuff.40．What’s the purpose of the passage?A．To help us to get the most out of our mornings.B．To relieve us from the guilt of multiple snoozes in the morning.C．To warn us of the harm of not getting out of bed immediately.D．To inform us about the fact that our bodies are wired to prefer a certain time of day. 41．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A．One or two awakenings ensure us a good night’s sleep.B．To be an early bird, better forget about the snooze button.C．It’s important not to block social medium if you want to save your morning.D．Beginning a day with easy things aroused our interest and a sense of accomplishment. 42．Where can we find the passage?A．Classified Advertisement B．Travel BrochureC．Life and Study D．Scientific JournalWe all have a tendency to fake laugh, particularly when authority figures in our lives try to make a joke that just doesn’t land. Though it might feel rude not to laugh when your in-laws or boss try to say something funny, pretending to do so might not be much better. It turns out, even if you think that your forced laughing sounds genuine, people are usually pretty good at separating truly spirited belly laughs from fake ones. But how can they possible know the difference?Well, when researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles studied the acoustic and perceptual differences between real and fake laughter, they found that some of the sounds associated with genuine laughter is “really hard to fake.” In their study, the researchers determined that subjects were only fooled by 37 percent of fake laughter.The most prominent factor distinguishing real laughter from fake laughter is duration --or, more specifically, the number of breaths taken in in between sounds. Seeing as it takes more effort and concentration to fake a laugh as opposed to do it genuinely, people tend to pause more in between their “ha-ha’s” when they’re faking it. Evidently, that pausing is pretty noticeable.“A fake laugh is basically an imitation of a real laugh, but produced with a slightly different set of vocal muscles controlled by a different part of our brain,” Greg Bryant, thelead UCLA researcher on the study, explained. “The result is that there are subtle features of the laugh that sound like speech, and ... people are unconsciously quite sensitive to them.”People have also proven to be emotionally sensitive to laughter as well. “Our rains are very sensitive to the social and emotional significance of laughter,” said Carolyn McGettigan, a scientist at Royal Holloway, University of London.McGettigan conducted a 2014 study that recorded participants’ brain responses as they listened to the same people produce genuine laughter by watching funny videos, as opposed to fake laughter. “During our study, when participants heard a laugh that was posed, they activated regions of the brain associated with mentalizing in an attempt to understand the other person’s emotional and mental state,” she said.So, while we may understand that certain social situations sometimes require fake laughter, most of the time, our instincts and emotional intelligence are just too smart to buy into them.According to McGettigan, that’s a good thing. “Evolutionarily speaking, it’s good to be able to detect if someone is authentically experiencing an emotion or if they’re not,” she said. “Because you don’t want to be fooled.”43．What do researchers at the University of California want to find out in this study?A．What is the difference between a fake laugh and a real one.B．Which part of the brain controls the sound of our laughter.C．Why do people need to fake laugh when they don’t want to.D．How to laugh as genuinely as possible when you are faking it.44．Your forced laughing is more noticeable than you think, mainly because_______.A．you seem more concentrated when you laugh for realB．you take more breaths when you try to fake a laughC．a fake laugh often happens after a sudden pauseD．a real laugh usually lasts longer than a fake one45．Which of the following is true according to Greg Bryant?A．Real laughter is not at all controllable by our brain.B．People may notice fake laughter without knowing why.C．People use the same set of muscles to laugh and to speak.D．Faking laugh shares the same techniques as making speech.46．What has Carolyn McGettigan’s 2014 study proven?A．Certain social situations may require us to fake a laugh.B．Evolution has enabled us to recognize other’s emotions.C．By instincts, we are able to tell a person’s mental state.D．We can sense other’s emotional state when they laugh.五、六选四Early Childhood EducationEarly childhood education is the formal teaching and care of young children. It primarily focuses on learning through playing to encourage children’s different kinds of development.47Studies with Head Start programs throughout the United States have shown some evidence that there are quite a few advantages to early childhood education, which can produce significant gains in children’s learning and development. Compared with a child who does not attend pre-school, children completing their early education programs are found to be better at math and reading skills. They are excited to learn and have the tools to do so.48 These children are more competent in their pre-school, kindergarten and school-age years, and they are usually reported as “friendlier” by parents and the children’s peers.49 In studies with matched control groups, more students who had early schooling experiences were employed at the age of 19, fewer were on welfare, and fewer were involved with the criminal activity. What’s more, some studies show that children attending pre-school are more likely to graduate and have higher education, and be well integrated as an adult.Early childhood education gives most children a jump-start on education for their kindergarten and primary school years. It is clear that early childhood education do a lot of good to children. 50 If early childhood education is less effective, perhaps the best model is finding strategies for allowing a parent to stay home with his or her child for at least the first two to three years. Also important is considering a child’s own personality. Individual differences in children mean that not all children will get equal benefits from early childhood education.A．The long-term influence of early education is significant as well.B．They can benefit greatly from encouragement in their early childhood.C．Yet its quality must be assessed to see what kind of benefits it actually provides.D．They are also able to relate to others in a superior way and that improves their social skills.E．Many experts of education, however, are concerned about what early childhood education means today.F．It consists of activities that serve children in the pre-school years and is designed to improve later school performance.六、概要写作51．Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.What Is Zero Waste?The goal of the “zero waste” movement is to get rid of all waste from products. “Zero waste” means using every part of a product. Today, the zero waste idea can be found everywhere from food to fashion.Creating a zero waste restaurant is a challenge. It is very difficult to use every part of produce and leave nothing behind. Creating a soup from unused ingredients is a popular way to use up extra food items. Other ways are more advanced. Some restaurants use coffee grounds（咖啡渣）to flavor dishes. Some cooks also crush shrimp shells and reuse them in sauces. While it’s challenging, zero waste restaurants appear to be on the rise.In the fashion industry, zero waste isn’t a new idea. But in today’s world of fast fashion, zero waste is growing more popular. Usually, cutting cloth creates lots of waste. In zero waste fashion, designers try to avoid this. One way to do so is by adding these extra pieces of cloth to the final design. Another way is to design clothing without wasteful cuts.Beyond restaurants and fashion, there are many other possibilities for zero waste products. All restaurants need utensils（器皿）. Bakey’s is a company that is developing edible （可食用的）utensils. After using them, you can eat them! Their spoons are made of flour and come in all kinds of flavors. While these spoons are not hard enough to cut meat, they are perfect for rice dishes. Meanwhile, Air New Zealand is experimenting with edible coffee cups that are made by the company Twice. They have already introduced a line of flavored cups. After you finish your coffee, you eat the cup, just like a cookie!Whether products are made to be edible or reusable, hopefully the movement will helpreduce waste all over the world._______________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ ________________________七、汉译英（整句）52．性格温和的人也会在特定场合下发牌气。

The kids didn't laugh about his name, but they all played baseball and had lunch together without him. That was the whole problem. No one saw him or talked to himor even knew he was there.So when Telesforo went to school this morning, his head was bowed and his feet kicked at anything on the sidewalk.As usual, his teacher Mrs Benson read to the class from the newspaper, and today Telesforo was surprised when she read about the US Mint (铸币厂) making five special coins every year to honor each of the 50 states.He knew all about those shiny new state coins. He and his dad collected them. Dad gave him a small album to hold them. By the end of the year, Telesforo would have all 50. By the time he was ready for bed that night, he decided to take his coins to school tomorrow.The next day, when the kids settled, Telesforo opened his album and held it high for the class to see. “These are the coins Mrs Benson read about. And this is John Muir on the California coin，〞he said, pointing. “Muir wanted to save the wilderness.〞 Telesforo spoke rapidly as he explained the designs: North Carolina and the first airplane flight. South Dakota, with four presidents carved on Mount Rushmore.“How can I get some of these coins? Why don't we meet after school？〞 Josh asked. “And Tel can explain everything we need to know.〞Tel? Josh just called him Tel? Like they knew he existed? Like they were longtime friends? Telesforo held his album and smiled. So he did have friends.4．Why didn't Telesforo want to go to school at first?A．Because he wasn't good at playing baseball.B．Because his teacher didn't like him asking questions.C．Because his classmates were cold to him.D．Because his classmates laughed at him.5．From whom did Telesforo get the idea to make friends with his new classmates?A．His father. B．His mother.C．His classmates. D．His teacher.6．How did Telesforo manage to make friends in the new school?A．By giving each of his classmates a special coin.B．By sharing the story of his collections with his classmates.C．By helping his teacher to read the newspaper to the class.D．By giving a brief introduction to American history in class.7．When he heard that he was called “Tel〞, Telesforo felt ________. A．glad B．angry C．nervous D．ashamedCChina is a land of bicycles. At least it was back in 1992 when I traveled the country. Back then everyone seemed to be riding a bicycle. Millions of them, all black. Cars were rare. Yet since my arrival in Beijing last year, I've found the opposite is true. There are millions of cars. However, people still use their bicycles to get around. For many, it's the easiest and cheapest way to travel today. Bicycles also come in different colors—silver, green, red, blue, yellow, whatever you want.It's fun watching people biking. They rush quickly through crossroads, move skillfully through traffic, and ride even on sidewalks(人行道). Bicycles allow people the freedom to move about that cars just can't provide.Eager to be part of this aspect of Chinese culture, I decided to buy a bicycle. Great weather accompanied(陪伴) my great buy. I immediately jumped up on my bicycle seat and started home.My first ride home was orderly(守秩序的). To be safe, I stayed with a “pack〞of bikers while cars on the streets came running swiftly out of nowhere at times.I didn't want to get hit. So I took the ride carefully. Crossing the streets was the biggest problem. It was a lot like crossing a major highway back in the United States. The streets here were wide, so crossing took time, skill and alittle bit of luck.I finally made it home. The feeling on the bicycle was amazing. The airhitting my face and going through my hair was wonderful. I was sitting on top of the world as I passed by places and people. Biking made me feel alive.8. According to the author, why are bicycles still popular in China today?A. Because they are traditional and safe.B. Because they are convenient and not expensive.C. Because they are colorful and available.D. Because they are fast and environment friendly.9 The author decided to buy a bicycle because he intended _______.A. to ride it for funB. to use it for transportC. to experience local cultureD. to improve his ridingskills10. How did the author feel about his street crossing?A. It was boring.B. It was difficult.C. It was lively.D. It was wonderful.11. Which of the following best describes the author's biking experience?A. The author enjoyed showing off his biking skills.B. The author was annoyed by the air while riding.C. The author was praised by the other bikers.D. The author took great pleasure in biking.DThe history of civil engineering (土木工程) is a very important story in the development of civilization (文明). Civil engineers began practising their profession four thousand years ago.What is left of their work is the proof that they were wise. These engineers of the ancient world built entire cities. They designed systems of pipes which supplied fresh water. They built water pipelines for farmlands as well as bridges of great length. The relics of their buildings tell us much about the work of early engineers.Consider the pyramids(金字塔) of Egypt. They are evidence that some of the earliest engineers had great scientific ability. There is also evidence that those engineers could make lasting work of art and design. Although they lived thousands of years ago, the Egyptian engineers used very exact measurements. The base of the largest pyramid—the Great Pyramid near Giza—comes to within inches of being a perfect square. The pyramid is perfectly placed.

AFour Special Hotels Around theworld Amangiri,Canyon Point,UtahThis place in the Utah desert is a favorite of many celebrities.While every room here has character,none matches the elegance(高雅)of the Girijaala Suite.The room has a large private lap pool,a sweeping balcony,and a sky lounge area where guests can bed down for the night under the clear Utah skies.Beyond Ngala Safari Lodge,South AfricaAt this place on the border of Kruger National Park,guests can reserve a one-night experience in a four-level tree house to see animals that wander the park.With no ordinary structure,the house has a supply of solar power,a water collection system,and a bio-rock sanitation(卫生)system.Here,guests can sleep under the night sky taking in the magic of their surroundings.Beverly Wilshire,Beverly Hills,CaliforniaBeverly Wilshire has been an attraction to many rich and powerful people since its opening in1928.Guests who reserve the Veranda Suite located on the roof of the hotel are in for a serious surprise.Not only is the room accessed by a hidden entrance behind a staircase,but it also has a2100-square-foot balcony with dreamy views of the Hollywood Hills.In the middle of this private,urban place is a10-foot-tall tent with crystal lamps and fur carpets.In a city full of stars,you can get a special feeling as well as a good sleep.La Valise Tulum,MexicoIf you can’t decide whether you would prefer to sleep indoors or outdoors,why not book a room that lets you do both in the same bed?Such is the feature of the Master Suite at this property in Tulum.The king-size bed can be rolled out onto the Caribbean Sea-facing balcony for a night under the stars or rolled in for a more private experience.1.Which of the following can offer guests a close encounter（遇见）with some wildlife?A.AmangiriB.Beyond Ngala Safari LodgeC.Beverly Wilshire Valise Tulum2.What is special about La Valise Tulum,Mexico?A.It gives guests two sleeping choices in the same bed.B.It is designed in an environmental-friendly way.C.It provides the best view of deserts and rocks.D.It is equipped with a bio-rock sanitation system.3.What do the four hotels have in common?A.They are all located in a national park.B.They all provide guests with a great view of hills.C.They are all modern and well-equipped.D.They all offer the experience of sleeping outdoors.B“Come on!All of us are cutting maths.Who wants to take that quiz?We are going to take a walk and get lunch instead.Let’s go!”says the coolest kid in your class.Do you do what you know is right and go to maths class,take the quiz and all? Or do you give in and go with him?People who are at your age,like your classmates,are called peers.When they try to influence how you act and get you to do something,it’s called peer pressure.It’s something everyone has to deal with--even adults.Peers influence your life,even if you don’t realize it,just by spending time with you.You learn from them,and they learn from you.It’s only human nature to listen to and learn from other people in your age group.Peers can have a positive influence on each other.Maybe another student in your science class taught you an easy way to remember the planets in the solar system,or you got others excited about your new favorite book,and now everyone is reading it. Sometimes peers influence each other in negative ways.For example,a few kids in school might try to get you to cut class with them.It’s difficult to say“no”to peer pressure,but you can do it.Paying attention to your own feelings and beliefs about what is right and what is wrong can help you know what is the right thing you should do.It can really help to have at least one other peer,or friend,who is willing to say “no”too.If you continue to face peer pressure and you are finding it difficult to handle it,talk to someone you trust--a parent or a teacher.They can help you feelmuch better and prepare you for the next time you face peer pressure.4.With the author’s words in the first paragraph what is the kid doing?A.Planning some interesting activities after school.B.Making an announcement about a dinner party.C.Persuading other kids to take a quiz with him.D.Encouraging other kids to cut class.5.What can be known according to the author?A.For kids,peer pressure may do more harm than good.B.Maths is the most difficult subject for most kids.C.Kids today are under greater pressure than before.D.Peer pressure exists among people of all age groups.6.What is suggested to the readers in the last paragraph?A.Making more close friends while at school.B.Learning to refuse their friends in a polite way.C.Getting support from someone else if necessary.D.Building closer relations with their parents and teachers.7.Whom is the text probably written for?A.Students.B.Parents.C.Teachers.D.Friends.C“Dad,”I said one day,“Let’s take a trip.Why don’t you fly out and meet me?”My father had just retired after27years as a manager for IBM.His job filled his day,his thought and his life.While he woke up and took a warm shower,I screamed under a freezing waterfall in Peru.While he tied a tie and put on the same Swiss watch,I rowed a boat across Lake of the Ozarks.My father saw me drifting aimlessly,nothing to show for my33years but a passport full of funny stamps.He wanted me to settle down,but now I want him to find an adventure.He agreed to travel with me through some national parks.We met four weeks later in Rapid City.“What is our first stop?”asked my father.“What time is it?”“Still don’t have a watch?”Less than an hour away was Mount Rushmore.As he stared up at the fourPresidents carved in rocks,his mouth and eyes opened slowly,like those of a little boy.“Unbelievable,”he said,“how was this done?”Sculptor Gutzon devoted14years to this sculpture and then left the final touches to his son.We stared up and I asked myself,“Would I ever devote my life to anything?”No directions,no goals.I always used to hear those words in my father’s voice.Now I hear them in my own.The next day we were at Yellowstone National Park,where we had a picnic.“Did you ever travel with your dad?”I asked.“Only once”he said.“I never spoke much to my father.We loved each other--but never said it.Whatever he could give me,he gave.”The last sentence--it’s probably the same thing I’d say about my father--is what I would want my child to say about me.In Glacier National Park,my father said,“I have never seen water so blue.”I have,in several places of the world.I can keep traveling,I realize--and maybe a regular job won’t be as dull as I feared.Weeks after our trip,I called my father.“The photos from the trip are wonderful,”he said.“We have got to take another trip like that sometime.”I told him I had decided to settle down,and I’m wearing a watch.8.What can we learn about the father from paragraph2and3?A.He followed the fashion.B.He got bored with his job.C.He was unhappy with the author’s lifestyle.D.He liked the author’s collection of stamps.9.What can be known about the author from the underlined paragraph?A.He wants his children to learn from their grandfather.B.He comes to understand what parental love means.C.He learns how to communicate with his father.D.He hopes to give whatever he can to his father.10.What could be inferred(推断)about the author and his father from the end of the story?A.The call solved their disagreements.B.The Swiss Watch has drawn them closer.C.They decided to learn photography together.D.They began to change their attitudes to life.11.What could be the best title for the passage?A.Love nature,love life.B.A son lost in adventure.C.A journey with dad.D.The art of travel.DI live in New York city and my neighbours are people I don’t know.My city, neighborhood and block are filled with people who don’t know me,don’t care to know me,and don’t talk to me.I find that it’s pretty hard to love people you don’t even know.And sometimes,we all,myself included,use that as an excuse not to try.I read Brendan’s story recently and was moved.One day,Brendan,a young man in New York was on the way back to his Brooklyn apartment when a homeless woman called Jackie asked him for money.He said that he had no money.By the end of the week,she asked two more times,and each time he answered“No”.The woman looked sad,so Brendan said,“I am on my way to a job interview.If I get the job,I’ll take you out for lunch.”Brendan got the job.He took Jackie out for lunch.That was when their friendship began.They built a strong friendship by supporting each other and spending their birthdays,holidays and difficult times together,over a period of eight years.When Brendan’s heater broke,Jackie made a blanket for him.Two days later when he told her that he had lost his job,she left and returned minutes later,bring him food to eat. She continued to do that during the whole winter.Even with so little,she often gave back.Over these years,Jackie moved from the streets and subway stations into a halfway house,and is now moving into an apartment.To celebrate it,Brendan wanted to do something special for Jackie.He went with her and helped her to pick out everything she would need for her new apartment.May Brendan’s story encourage us to find a new way to honour,serve and love the people around us.12.What can we learn about the author from paragraph1?A.He often stays indoors.B.He cares about his neighbours.C.He is good at making friends.D.He hardly talk to his neighbours13.What did Brendan do when Jackie asked him for money?A.He was angry with her.B.He didn’t give her any.C.He offered her some food.D.He gave her some spare change.14.What happened after Brendan and Jackie had lunch together?A.They developed a new friendship.B.They helped each other to find work.C.They fell in love with each other.D.They discovered they were classmates.15.What does the underlined word“it”in paragraph4refer to?A.Jackie’s finding work.B.Jackie’s moving from the streets.C.Jackie’s moving into an apartment.D.Jackie’s moving into a halfway house.第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

The youngest isvery happy about the 4 .Every day when his elder brothers come home, they find the house clean, tidy and 5 .Foods and drinks have been 6 on the table, and their beds are 7 and all the dirty 8 have been washed.But one of the older brothers is 9 of the youngest. So he says to the other boys that the job of the 10 is too easy and that he should also go to the field. And the others agree to his suggestion. 11 now when they come home they find that their home is 12 ,and that the table is 13 ,they realize that their youngest brother has played a very important role ,and they have underestimated(低估) his 14 to the home.15 what can we get from this story? Never underestimate people who work behind the 16 . , Who is “useless” in your house? Maybe your grandpa or grandma who is 17 there every day; maybe the servant who seems lazy. Unconsciously(无意识的) we may say arrogantly(傲慢地) to these people, “You are 18 ! ” If we really do this kind of thing ,one day we will find that we have lost the best people in our life.

It’s over a hundred years old. In the winter of 1891, a certain college was having some trouble with its boy students. The weather was bad and the students had to stay indoors. As they could not play outdoors, they were unhappy, and some even got into fights from time to time.Some of the teachers at the college asked Dr. Naismith to invent a game so that the students might have something to play with. It was not easy to invent such a game because it had to be played indoors, and the court was not very large.Dr. Naismith thought for a few days and invented a kind of ball game. It was a fast, wonderful game with much moving and passing of the ball, It played between two teams. To make a score, the ball had to be thrown into the basket ten feet above the floor on the wall. At each en of the court there was such a basket. At first, Dr.Naismith wanted to throw the ball into a box. As he could not find boxes of the right size, he had to use fruit basket instead. That is how the game got its name.( )1、How long is it since basketball was invented?A 1,000 years.B Less than 100 years.C 1,100 years.D More than 100 years.( )2、The students felt unhappy because .A they could not play outdoorsB they often got into fightsC they had much homework to doD they had little time to study( )3、Who asked Dr. Naismith to invent a game?A Some students.B Some teachers.C Some students’ parents.D Some of his friends.( )4、When a student , he makes a score.A receives the ballB throws the ball to another studentC runs quickly with the ball in his handD throws the ball into the basket(B)Which of your hands do you use most? Very few of us use both of our hands well. Most of us use our right hands well. Only about five people out of a hundred are left-handed. New –born babies can take things with either of their hands, but in about two years they like to use their right hands.Scientists don’t know why this happens. They have studied it. They think of our animal ancestors in the animal world. Scientists have found that monkeys like to use one of their hands more than the other but it can be either hand. There are so man right-handed ones. Next time you visit the zoo, watch the monkeys carefully. You’ll see that some of them will swing from their right hands and the others will use their left hands. But most human beings use their right hands better and many tools are made for the right-handed people, and this makes life difficult for the left-handed ones. We live in a right-handed world.1、Very few of us can use both of our hands well. It means “”A many people can’t use hand as well as the otherB many people can’t use both handsC many people can use one hand as well as the otherD many people can use both hands2、New-born babies at first.A can only use their right hands.B can only use their left handsC can’t use both of their handsD can use both their hands3、Which of the following is true?A Monkeys are left-handed.B Monkeys are right-handed.C In a zoo you can see some of the monkeys are left-handed; the others re right-handed.D There are much more right-handed monkeys than left-handed monkeys.4、Man live in aA left-handed worldB right-handed worldC monkey worldD lifeless world(C)Everyone needs friends. We all like to feel close to someone. It is nice to have a friend to talk, laugh, and do things with. Surely, there are times when we need to be alone. We don’t always want people around. But we would feel lonely if we never had a friend.No two people are just the same. Sometimes friends don’t get along well. That doesn’t mean that they no longer like each other. Most of the time, they will make up and go on being friends.Sometimes friends move away. Then we feel very sad. We miss them very much. But when we call them and write to them? It could be that we would even see them again. And we can make new friends. It is surprising to find out how much we like new people when we get to know them.Families sometimes name their children after a close friend. Many places are named after men and women who have been friendly to people in a town. Some libraries are named this way. So are some schools. We think of these people when we go to these places.There’s more good news for people who have friends. They live longer than people who don’t Why? It could be that they are happier. Being happy helps you stay well. Or it could just know that someone cares about you, you take better care of yourself.1、The first paragraph tells usA none need friendsB we always need friends around usC making friends is the need in people’s lifeD we need to be alone2、Which of the following doesn’t the writer say in the passage?A People are not happy when their friends leave them.B People will never see their friends after their friends move away.C People can know their friends in different ways.D People like their friends very much if they get to know them.3、Which of the following is most probably the place people name after friendly people?A A cityB A roomC A townD A library4、People who have friends live longer than people who don’t becauseA they feel happier and are healthyB they get a lot of help from their friendsC they take better care of themselvesD both A and C(D)What is your favorite color? Do you like yellow, orange, red? If you do, you must be an optimist(乐观), a leader, an active person who enjoys life, people and excitement. Do you prefer greys and blues? Then you are probably quiet, shy, and you would rather follow than lead. You tend to be a pessimist(悲观). At least, this is what psychologists(心理学家) tell us, and they should know, because they have been seriously studying the meaning of color preference(偏爱), as well as the effect that colors have on human beings. They tell us, among other facts, that we do not choose our favorite color as we grow up-we are born with or preference.Colors do influence our moods-there is no doubt about it. A yellow room makes most people feel more cheerful and more relaxed than a dark green one; and a red dress brings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day. On the other hand, black is depressing(沮丧的，消沉的). A black bridge over the Thames River, near London, used to be the scene of more suicides(自杀(者)) than any other bridge in the area-until it was repainted(重画) green. The number of suicide attempts(试图，企图) immediately fell sharply; perhaps it would have fallen even more if the bridge had been done in pink or baby blue.1、If you like greys and blues, you are likelyA a person who enjoys lifeB a leader followed by othersC a follower leading othersD a person always expecting worst things will happen2、If you happen to love brown,A you did soB you learned to do soC psychologists said soD psychologists thought so3、There is no doubt thatA most people like yellow and redB yellow and red are better than black and blueC colors have an effect on our lifeD workers will work better with their machines painted grey or black五、短文改错此题要求改正所给短文中的错误。

山东省新泰市第一中学（实验部）2023-2024学年高一上学期第二次月考英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读选择3 Most Walkable Cities in EuropeWalking on holiday is a great way to stay fit, but also to see the sights a city has to offer. Here are the three most walkable cities in Europe.Athens, GreeceAthens is one of the oldest cities in the world. The capital of Greece ranks fifth, with a slightly longer—but very worthwhile—route of 2.1 miles between its top-rated tourist attractions.Visitors to Athens can set off at the Acropolis, climbing to discover the ancient Parthenon that stands as a landmark to the city’s ancient legacy. Then it leads to the Acropolis Museum, with the neighbourhood of Plaka waiting to be explored in the shadow of the Acropolis. The National Archaeological Museum is also close-by.Seville, SpainSeville is home to some wonderful sights that are best seen when walking. Seville in Spain takes the top spot as Europe’s most walkable city, offering the shortest walking route between the top five tourist attractions.Visitors to this charming Spanish city can explore the impressive Plaza de Espana public square, before wandering over to the UNESCO-listed palace of Real Alcazar and Seville Cathedral. After that it’s only a short trip on foot to visit the beautiful Barrio Santa Cruz neighbourhood and admire the Torre Giralda bell tower hanging above. With just 20 minutes of walking between these attractions.Venice, ItalyVenice is famous for walkers, so it’s no surprise it ranks as the second best location for walkable city breaks. Walking is the best way to explore the bridges over the canals the city is famed for. There are endless charming alleyways to explore, as well as plenty of bridges over the canals that the city is famous for. Just under half an hour of walking here will take you on a tour of the impressive Grand Canal.1．What’s the recommended starting point of the city walk in Athens?A．Plaka.B．The Acropolis.C．The Acropolis Museum.D．The National Archaeological Museum .2．Why is Sevilla the top destination as a walkable city in Europe?A．It offers some wonderful sights.B．Visitors can explore five tourist attractions.C．It makes visitors enjoy their time to the full.D．Visitors can tour five tourist attractions in the shortest walking distance.3．Who is the text intended for?A．Those who are hiking during the vacation.B．Those who want to find suggestions on where to travel.C．Those who are looking for the best traveling destinations.D．Those who usually choose walkable cities for their vacation.English is full of funny expressions that don’t always make sense. Idioms are phrases and sentences that do not mean exactly what they say. Even if you know the meaning of each word, you may not understand the idiom because you don’t understand the culture behind it. Here are some English idioms based on animals.When children jump around and act silly, their parents may tell them to stop “monkeying around”.To “monkey around” means to do things that are not useful or serious, or to simply waste time.Many American families have and love pet dogs. But for some unknown reason, Americans use “dog” in a phrase that means to feel unwell. If you are “as sick as a dog”, you’re really, really sick.Sometimes you may also hear cats mentioned in conversations, “I told you to keep that secret, but you have just ‘let the cat out of the bag’!” You probably guessed it — that idiom means to reveal a secret or tell facts that were previously unknown.Dogs and cats don’t always get along, but they appear side by side in a commonly used idiom. When it rains heavily, people might say it’s “raining cats and dogs”．Heavy rain often ruins people’s plans for outdoor activities. But on a lovely day, you can have a picnic. If a swarm (一群) of tiny bugs love your food and start to hover (盘旋) aroundyou, it would be really annoying. That experience perfectly explains why people often tell someone who keeps bothering them to “stop bugging me”．Idioms are very common in both spoken and written English. If you want to have a better understanding of English, you have to learn idioms.4．According to Paragraph 1, which is right about idioms?A．Expressions which are based on animals.B．Expressions with rich cultural background.C．Expressions that always make sense.D．Expressions which are easy to understand.5．What can “monkeying around” be used to describe?A．Children jump around and waste time.B．Children do something useful and serious.C．Children play with monkeys with their parents.D．Children spend time playing with their family pets.6．What can be learned from the text?A．Dogs and cats always get along nicely.B．Bugs can be used to show your annoyance.C．Americans believe cats can give away secrets.D．Americans use the idiom “as sick as a dog” to describe a healthy man.7．How does the text mainly develop?A．By sharing experiences.B．By making comparisons.C．By giving examples.D．By listing figures.As I walked into the primary school, I looked down at my new Mary Jane shoes -I wanted to be anywhere in the world but Fountain Inn Elementary School.I stood at Mrs. Blackstone’s door. The door suddenly opened to the sing-song voice of Mrs. Blackstone, my new fifth grade teacher. “We’ve been waiting for you!” she said in an unusually high voice.Over the next few days, Mrs. Blackstone found me a new best friend and helped me join a choir (合唱团). During history lessons, as I didn’t want to speak in front of the class, shewould have me stand up to address my classmates. She made me smile and feel much relaxed in the new environment.One spring afternoon, Mrs. Blackstone asked me to stay after class. “I’d like to speak with you, Amanda.” My mind raced. Had I made a bad grade? Had I hurt someone’s feelings?“Are you enjoying your new school?” She said.“I want to tell you something, between you and me, not to be shared with anyone else.” “Okay.” My throat all of a sudden felt very dry.With her eyebrows (眉毛) raised, she said, “I see something special in you.

AI usually refers to the advanced technologies, such as the naked-eye 3D, VR, AR and so on. These terms might sound familiar, but how smart are they whenapplied to the 56 Asian Games venues (场地)?Their smartness can be found in running the venues with less human labor forces and with more connections between man and machines. At the Huanglong Sports Center, a system called Smart Stadium Brain is built. The Brain, a 25-square-meter high-definition (高清晰度) screen in the venue’s information center, displays the entire venue in 3D visualization to keep an eye on the temperature, the lighting, the energy consumption, and the facilities to guarantee a friendly environment for the athletes and audiences. For the benefit of audiences, a small screen on each seat is designed to be at the audience’s service. By finger touching, the audience can control it from three parts — angle, speed, and size to watch and keep in contact with the event. What’s more, supported by the 5G technology, a 360° playback function is fixed.AI also means further protection on environment. At the Fuyang sports Center, although it has been raining for days, the roof of the venue still remains dry. And the secret lies in its attractive sky garden. The garden, covering the roof, is not only eye-catching but also useful. It allows the greening rate of the entire stadium to reach as high as 45%, being energy-saving. Under the cobblestones (鹅卵石) of the sky garden, a recovery system is filtering (过滤) and collecting rainwater for the venue’s water system, fountain, and irrigation water.Smart devices are employed both inside and outside the venues. For example, the Tonglu sports Center starts a WeChat mini-program for any follower to learn about the venue through VR games and videos before the Hangzhou Asian Games. During the Games, the program will allow the athletes and audiences to place orders online, waiting in the venue for a robot waiter to deliver and serve their food.12．Which of the following can replace the underlined word “guarantee” in Para 2?A．Make sure of.B．Take advantage of.C．Get used to.D．Keep up with.13．What can we infer from Para 2?A．The audience can’t see the whole venue on the large screen.B．The stadium is environmentally friendly and advanced but costly.C．The audience can control small screens on their seats as they wish.D．Small screens make the game watching enjoyable and convenient.14．How does the roof of the venue keep dry while it’s raining?A．By saving energy.B．By using the cobblestone of the skygarden.C．By recycling the rainwater.D．By improving the greening rate. 15．What can be a suitable title for the text?A．Asian Games with Artificial Intelligence.B．A Sports Center with Smart Stadium Brain.C．More Connections with Smart Devices.D．Smart Asian Games with High-tech Venues.Creative ways to change your workoutsMost people know working out is good for your health, both physical and mental.16 Sure, you may get excited about training for a 5 K or 10 K, but once the race is over, only to become tired of it after a few weeks.Create a word or image with your exercise routeRunners often map routes through city streets that create a word or image, then use a GPS device to “draw” it as they run. 17 Not sure what image or message to create?
