A large dinner party is being given in an up-country station by a colonial official and his wife. The guests are army and government officers and their wives, and an American naturalist.At one side of the long table, a spirited discussion springs up between a young girl and an army officer. The girl insists women have long outgrown the jumping-on-a-chair-at-the-sight-of-a-mouse era, and that they are not as anxious as their grandmothers were. The officer says they are, arguing women haven't the actual nerve control of men."A woman's reaction in any crisis," the officer says, "is to scream. And while a man may feel like it, he has that ounce more of control than a woman has."The American scientist does not join in the argument but sits and watches the faces of the other guests. As he stares, he sees a slight, though strange look of anxiety come over the face of the hostess. With a small gesture she summons the servant standing behind her chair. She whispers to him. The servant's eyes widen. He turns quickly and leaves the room. No one else sees this, nor the servant when he puts a bowl of milk on the balcony outside the glass doors.The American understands. In India, milk in a bowl means only one thing. It is bait for a snake. He realizes there is a cobra in the room. The American's eyes move across the room but he sees nothing. He realizes the snake can only be in one place—under the table.His first reaction is to jump back and warn the others. But he knows any sudden movement will frighten the cobra and it will strike. He speaks quickly, the quality of his voice so arresting that it quietens everyone. "I want to know just what control everyone at this table has. I will count three hundred—that's five minutes —and not one of you is to move a single muscle. Now! Ready!"The 20 people sit like stone images while he counts. He is saying "…two hundred and eighty..." when, out of the corner of his eye, he sees the snake emerge and make for the bowl of milk. Four or five screams ring out as he jumps to slam shut the balcony doors."There is your proof!" the host says. "A man has just shown us real control.""Just a minute," the American says, turning to his hostess, "How did you know that cobra was in the room?"A faint smile comes across the woman's face as she replies. "Because it was lying across my foot."（1）What is the argument between the army officer and the young girl about?A.Whether women are afraid of mice.B.Whether men are calmer than women.C.Whether men are cleverer than women.D.Whether women would make suitable soldiers.（2）Why is the servant asked to put out some milk?A.To play a trick.B.To serve the guests.C.To attract the snake.D.To feed the hostess's pet.（3）Why does the scientist suggest the guests play a game?A.He doesn't want anyone to panic.B.He intends to test the officer's theory.C.He sees there was a snake in the room.D.He wants to entertain the other guests.（4）What does the author imply through the hostess's final statement?A.The army officer's opinion is wrong.B.The hostess understood the American's intention.C.The American was surprised by the snake's presence.D.The hostess has had previous experience dealing with snakes.6.Have you ever heard of a pawpaw（木瓜）? If not, do not feel bad. Most Americans do not know of the fruit, though it is native to the United States.Once, however, it was one of the most popular fruits in North America. Happily, those who love the pawpaw are trying to return it to its former position in American foods. A pawpaw is a tropical-like fruit that grows on trees found all over the eastern United States. It's also the largest fruit native to the US.It is similar to a typical mango in size. It has a dull green-colored skin, and a soft, almost-creamy orange inside. The pawpaw was not sold commercially in the past. The fruit requires a very special environment-low, wet areas that sometimes flood. It has a very short harvest season, from two to three weeks in September and October. In addition, the fruit is good to eat for only two to three days after harvesting. This makes it hard to sell anywhere distant from the pawpaw tree it came from.Planters are again growing pawpaw trees and harvesting the fruit. In several states farmers haveorganized "pawpaw festivals" to reintroduce people to the food. At such a festival in Maryland recently, farmers displayed different products made with pawpaws. There were pawpaw jams, pies, gelato（冰淇淋）and beer. Michael Judd helped organize the Maryland pawpaw festival.Farmers are trying to grow kinds of pawpaws that will be easier to ship and sell commercially. Donna and Jim Davis are pawpaw farmers in Westminster, Maryland. They said that they purchased their pawpaw trees in the 1990s and now sell the fruit at farmer's markets and online.（1）What can we know about the pawpaw according to the text?A.Its harvest season lasts long.B.It grows in Europe originally.C.It has already returned to its former position.D.It used to be well-received in North America.（2）What limited the pawpaw to being sold commercially in the past?A.It was unknown to the world.B.It's hard to grow, store and transport.C.It has similar taste with typical mangoes.D.The planters were unwilling to grow them for low profits.（3）Why do farmers hold "pawpaw festivals"?A.To show lots of delicious food to people.B.To make the pawpaw known to people again.C.To introduce people to a completely new fruit.D.To tell people the forgotten history about the fruit.（5）What is the best title for the text?A.The History of Pawpaws.B.How to Grow Pawpaws.C.The Comeback of Pawpaws.D.The Origin of Pawpaw Festival.四、七选五（本题共计 1 小题，共计5分）7. （5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。

Researchers varied the price tags placed on the sugary drinks over the eight-week study: one tag that simply said the price for the 12-ounce drink($1.52)and one that had the price and the message "Includes SF Sugary Drink Tax". All non-sugary drinks, which weren't subject to the tax, simply had the price of the drink($1.40).The researchers compared sales of the drinks during the study period to the two weeks before the study began when the sugary drink tax was in effect but there were no price tags on any drinks. Results showed sales of sugary drinks weren't lower during the two weeks, compared to sales before the tax, indicating the tax itself didn't reduce purchases of sugary drinks.The researchers then looked at the effects of the two different price tags. Results showed the share of sugary drinks purchased when the tags simply showed the price wasn't significantly different from the two-week period before the study, but did decline slightly when the tags mentioned the price included the added tax.In a separate online study, the researchers asked participants to estimate what the tax wouldbe on a can of their favorite drink that cost $1.52.The average estimate was 40 cents-much higher than the 12 cents actually demanded in San Francisco. When told the tax was only 12 cents, they reported they'd still purchase the drink.The findings suggest price tags should mention the tax but not the amount, for consumers tend to overestimate how much the tax is. "If cities want these policies to be effective, they need to regulate how sugary drinks are labeled at stores and they currently don't do that," said Donnelly, lead author of the study.4．What does the underlined word "flaw" mean in the first paragraph?A.Weakness.B.Solution.C.Imbalance.D.Evidence.5．What kind of price tags may discourage customers from buying sugary drinks?A.Price tags bearing sugar content.B.Price tags with the exact tax on them.C.Price tags saying added tax included.D.Price tags just showing the total price. 6．Which of the following may be Donnelly's suggestion?A.Stores label sugary drinks at will.B.Cancel sugary drink taxes at once.C.Publicize the impacts of sugary drinks.D.Cities urge stores to use proper price tags. 7．What might be the best title for the text?A.A New Way to Prevent FatnessB.Eating Habits and Food ConsumptionC.Sugary Drink Taxes Aren't Working WellD.Non-sugary Drinkers Benefit from New PoliciesHumans are emotional beings, showing feelings in our behavior and facial expressions. But whether these mean the same thing in different cultures has been hotly debated. Now a new study has found that in different social contexts, such as weddings, funerals and sports, people indeed show universal facial expressions.For the new study, Alan Cowen’s team used a machine learning model, Deep Neural Network (DNN), to systematically analyze facial expressions in thousands of different contexts. These contexts come from more than six million videos uploaded to YouTube by people in 144 countries.Facial expressions were rated by English speakers in India by selecting applicable emotions from a list of 31 labels, resulting in a total of 16 distinct facial expressions. Meanwhile, contexts were classified in a separate experiment. The results showed that people from different cultures share about 70% of the facial expressions used in response to different social and emotional situations.“This supports Darwin’s theory that expressing emotions in our faces is universal among humans,” the study co-lead author Dacher Keltner said. “The physical display of our emotions may define who we are as a species, enhancing our communication and cooperation skills an d ensuring our survival.”However, Lisa Barrett, from the Northeastern University College of Science notes that the English speakers in India were given the emotional word ratings rather than labeling the expressions themselves. They used emotion labels su ch as “anger” “fear” and “sadness” instead of descriptive terms, thereby inferring the emotions behind the expressions.She further comments that the raters (评定者) saw the faces in contexts which can’t necessarily be separated from the emotions themselves, and that the key point is that the raters are from just one country. “The ultimate value of Cowen and his colleagues’ study might lie not in the answers it provides,” she concludes, “but in the opportunity for further discovery that it opens up.”8．What can we learn from the text?A. The study is opposite to Darwin’s theory.B. People in different cultures show similar facial expressions.C. The team conducted the study by downloading facial expressions.D. Facial expressions and contexts were classified in the same experiment.9．How did Alan Cowen’s team conduct the study?A. By using a learning machine.B. By uploading videos to YouTube.C. By analyzing facial expressions.D. By using emotion labels.10．What can we infer from Dacher Keltner’s words?A. Social success is dependent on facial expressions.B. Facial expressions have constantly changed over time.C. Social skills reflect the ability of one’s expression management.D. Facial expressions play a vital role in humans’ development.11．What is Lisa Barrett’s attitude towards the study?A. Objective.B. Ambiguous.C. Critical.D. Contradictory.You may never know why the email will arrive and reasons offered for your rejection might be the real ones—or not. Bosses have always spied on their employees, then judged them. Now the rise of the online self means the employer’s eye can travel still farther.Even before the pandemic, research found that 28% of large companies had turned down applicants after carrying out such checks. And it is becoming more popular: Reed Screening,a large agency, was asked to run over a third more social-media checks in December this year than a year earlier. This month the government gave the practice approval when the Department for Education said schools and colleges “shou ld consider carrying out an online search as part of their due diligence (尽职调查)”.The way screening works is simple: Any “problematic” behaviours will be marked with a red flag. There are laws governing such online screening. David Erdos, head of the Centre for Intellectual Property and Information Law, says that companies are supposed to warn candidates before screening their social media and tell them that they have the right to hold back permission. Some companies follow these rules, but others may not. As for the right to refuse, it is hardly practicable. “Who on earth is… going to be that person who says, ‘Hang on a minute. I’m not happy about that?’” asks Mr Erdos. “That itself is likely to be a red flag.”All agree that the spread of online screening is alarming, as it is so unforgiving. People may be unable ever to be free of their online past, says Mr Erdos. As indeed some footballers, recently punished for comments made almost a decade ago when they were but teenagers, have found to their cost.Those within the industry think laws should be tightened, with punishment for illegal act. In the meantime, being very careful is advisable. In talks to university students, Mr Erdos warns them what companies will do to their social media when they apply for j obs. “They are universally terrified,” he says. And rightly.12．What can we know about online screening from Paragraph 2?A. It is turned down by large companies.B. It boosts the development of education.C. It is becoming increasingly acceptable.D. It highlights the wisdom of employers.13．What do applicants tend to do with online screening?A. They reject the red flags.B. They have to submit to it.C. They will charge the company.D. They postpone carrying it out.14．What is Mr Erdos’ opinion on postin g comments online？A. Companies are tolerant of it.B. Its influence is hard to erase.C. It should be under strict laws.D. University students are free to do it. 15．What could be a suitable title for the text?A. Big Employer Is Watching YouB. Fix Your Eyes on Online ScreeningC. Social-media Checks Are Around the CornerD. Checks Online Are to Blame for Unemployment二、七选五16．Technology has changed our lives and reshapes the way we live. Some of us love it and some of us are frustrated (懊恼的) with it. This is clear as most of us are guilty of being addicted to the Internet and social media.①_______Technology has created a whole new world and brought endless opportunities.The invention of airplanes, ships and spacecraft always allows people to visit other countries and even other planets. As long as we follow the laws of immigration, we can go to any country we like.②_______In addition, technology is also used by a large number of teachers to improve their teaching. It can make the lessons more interactive and interesting for students. E-learning is possible with the use of the Internet connection and computers. People wishing to study for a degree can do so at their comfortable homes.③_______Teachers can post notes and videos on the Internet and students can study and learn whenever they are ready.④_______You don’t have to walk around with a large sum of cash any more because you can make purchases and payments electronically. Online banking is secure and convenient for online shopping. You don’t hav e to worry that your cash might be stolen by someone.However, we have to say that technology can be a double-edged sword. Nowadays, instead of paying attention to the conversation we are having face to face, we just take the phone. We are distracted by sm artphones and technology in general. But we can’t blame technology. We should not blame ourselves, either.⑤_______Indeed, technology is addictive, but our focus shouldn’t be on phones or computers, but on people and face-to-face conversations.A.

External university colleagues are also welcome to attend.A Certificate of Completion can be earned by all participants who complete the workshop deliverable, a lesson plan for a new or existing course. While earning the Certificate of Completion is not required for participation in the workshop, it is encouraged to get the most of out of your time with us.ScheduleTuition Remission InformationFull-time, benefits-qualified Johns Hopkins employees may submit for 100% tuition remission (减免), and this does not check off from the annual $5,250 allotment (配额) for credit courses. You are qualified for tuition remission once you have completed 120 days of full-time employment as long as you are Johns Hopkins faculty or staff and continue in a full-time position. You will need to fill out the form in order to receive the tuition benefits.Payment or the tuition remission form must be received to secure your seat in theworkshop.1．What will participants learn at the workshop?A．How to discipline learners.B．How to develop interest in teaching.C．How to base lectures on evidence.D．How to be excellent at practices.2．How can a participant get a Certificate of Completion?A．By having credit courses.B．By filling out a form in advance.C．By working full-time for 120 days.D．By making a teaching plan for a course. 3．What will be taught at 9 a. m. on Friday?A．Course Design.B．Assessment.C．Classroom Communication.D．Grading and Evaluation Strategies.Not so long ago, I was admiring online a pair of floral bib overalls (印花工装裤) that were way out of my price range and felt it, frankly, quite expensive for a person who buys most of her clothing from second-hand stores.They were made by a company I admire because it uses actual, real-life women in its ads. I’ve admired this particular pair of overalls for a long time, knowing I would never be willing to spend the money on them.One afternoon, I posted the following on the Internet, along with a photo just for fun: “I mean I already have dreams of becoming a Fargo Trading Co. model because those ladies rock, but if they would pay me with these overalls, I would be set for life.”It was a fun post, not meant to accomplish anything except acknowledging that I like gardening overalls. I figured that would be the end of the story, until I was checking my email that evening and saw one that gave me pause: “Bill has sent you an e-gift card for (insert dollar amount of overalls here) from Fargo Trading Co.”I called my dad, whose name is Bill and thanked him for the gift. But it turned out that this Bill was not my dad, but a complete stranger. I reread the email, and figured out the mystery gifter had chosen to use a cryptonym. I sent the company an email of thanks and told them that their generosity was an encouragement to my heart.I like to tell the story because it reminds me that generosity doesn’t come with a price tag. It doesn’t cost money to speak into someone’s life; buying a cup of coffee can be relativelyinexpensive; passing along plants from your garden is basically free. It is your reminder to be like “Bill”. Go and do that thing today. You never know who might need it.4．What do we know about the author?A．She collects overalls.B．She is short of money.C．She wants to be a model.D．She owns a second-hand store.5．What does the author want to do through her post?A．Express her great ambition.B．Make a joke on the overalls.C．Show her love for the overalls.D．Find someone to give her a gift.6．What is the probable meaning of the underlined word “cryptonym” in Paragraph 5?A．False name.B．Paper card.C．New overall.D．Real address. 7．What idea does the author want to convey through the story?A．Generosity can start small.B．Honesty is the best policy.C．Penny wise, pound foolish.D．One good turn deserves another.Lacking money makes people focus on the present — but lacking water makes them plan for the future. The human brain is sensitive to scarcity (稀缺). Take money, for example: when people play a game that makes some players immediately wealthier or poorer, those who lose money start making decisions that result in their being better off now but worse off later. One potential explanation for this tendency is that the sense of not having enough of what we need makes it harder for us to focus and plan.In one experiment, college students read articles about a severe water shortage or plenty of water due to increased rainfall. Those exposed to scarcity thoughts showed a heightened focus on the future, agreeing more with saving resources and planning ahead. Contrarily, those who read about a water surplus prioritized living in the present and were less concerned about saving.Moreover, we compared attitudes in two Iranian cities, Shiraz and Yazd, which differ greatly in water availability. Residents of water-scarce Yazd valued “long-term purpose” more than those in water-abundant Shiraz.Expanding our investigation globally, we found individuals from historically water-scarce nations tended to place a greater emphasis on saving and planning for the future. For example, in Europe, people in water-rich Iceland thought less about the future, whereas those in dry Spainthought more about the future.Moreover, countries’ history of water scarcity seemed related to cultural differences in a way that more obvious factors didn’t. For example, income per capita (人均) did not explain differences across cultures. And although corruption (腐败) might make it hard for people to think about the future, it was not a strong predictor, either. You might guess that people think about the future more in places where they tend to live longer, but astonishingly, national life expectancy was not as strong a predictor as water scarcity.Our work suggests that as many places dry up, global warming could reshape how people think, pushing entire communities toward more cautious, environmentally friendly, future-oriented behavior. Water scarcity could be uniquely powerful motivation for us to prepare for and respond to a warmer world.8．What does the example of game-playing in Paragraph 1 illustrate?A．Scarcity results in shortsighted decisions.B．Game-playing needs a higher focus.C．Game players become rich overnight.D．Losing money makes us plan for the future. 9．Who might have a long-term purpose?A．People living in Shiraz.B．People in dry Spain.C．People focusing on the past.D．People reading about water surplus. 10．What most likely accounts for cultural differences?A．Corruption.B．Income per capita.C．A sense of water scarcity.D．National life expectancy.11．What will water scarcity inspire people to do?A．Respond to climate change actively.B．Change our attitude toward family.C．Make people care about community.D．Be more cautious about their relationship.Perhaps artificial intelligence doesn’t have to be as scary as news reports have made it out to be.“We’re already starting to move away from organizations like Reuters and Associated Press and things like that into more sort of niche (小众的) publications that focus on specific topics like the environment or tech. And that’s been happening for a couple of years now. And I think it’ll continue to happen,” reporter Hilton said.So how is the rise of digital platforms impacting traditional journalism?How can journalists respond to the challenges that arise with new technologies such as AI-generated content? “There will be certain teams or even departments that will check to see timestamps, check the geographic information and things like that,” reporter Heneghan said.How would journalists be able to call out fake (伪造的) videos? Hilton said fake news reports require journalists to be more cautious and that makes for better journalism. “We’re learning new skills in order to make sure that we’re doing our part and making sure that the truth is out there,” Hilton said.Photojournalist Shore showed a photo of a penguin in a desert and pointed to a label in the corner of the photo. He explained that you can identify an unedited photo because every detail from the moment the photo was taken to any changes made afterward is recorded in protected layers that can be read.When asked whether artificial intelligence would take over the jobs of journalists, Hilton said, “It will take away a lot of the donkey work that journalists have to do. Once those tasks are automated, journalists can pursue more substantive (实质性的) stories. Artificial intelligence would not replace journalism. I don’t think AI is going to make us jobless because we are human beings telling stories about human beings and no machine can do that.”12．Which statement does Hilton agree with?A．Traditional journalism still takes the lead.B．AI is scary in traditional news coverage.C．Journalism is going through huge changes.D．The focus of journalism is ondigitalization.13．What does Shore want to show us by the photo of a penguin?A．What journalists care about most.B．Who are the targets of fake news.C．Why deepfake is too harmful.D．How people identify fake content. 14．What does Hilton stress in the last paragraph?A．AI might improve the work of journalists.B．AI will take the place of journalists.C．AI may tell stories of human beings.D．AI will treat humans as machines. 15．What is the best title of the text?A．AI Will Pose a Threat to Journalism Soon B．The Future of News Is MoreTrustworthyC．Journalism in the Future Will Be Different D．Journalists Use AI for Humanized WorkWhile doing a particularly boring task at work or home, have you ever stopped thinking about what you were doing, and started thinking about your last vacation or another event that made you happy? Or do you sometimes daydream about meeting Taylor Swift or whoever is your favorite pop star instead of focusing on work? 16 Almost everyone at some point experiences that their thoughts drift (转移) away from the task at hand to something else.One interesting question is how mind-wandering affects our emotions. 17 Thinking about the sandy beaches of Hawaii instead of a crucial work email surely is not positive for work performance. On the other hand, it could be argued that mind-wandering may make us feel better in some situations. For example, when Uncle Greg is telling the same annoying story for a twelfth time at a family reunion, thinking about your favorite food may not be the worst thing. In that case, mind-wandering may help regulate negative emotions and create positive emotions in an unpleasant situation. 18To clarify how mind-wandering affects emotional well-being, a team of scientists published a new meta-analysis (元分析). 19 It has the advantage that data from many more volunteers than in typical studies can be analyzed. This makes the results of meta-analyses particularly trustworthy. Overall, the meta-analysis results revealed a negative association between mind-wandering and emotional well-being.20 First, the emotional content of the thoughts experienced during mind-wandering. When the unprompted (自发的) thoughts were negative, the effect on emotional well-being was also negative. However, when the content of the unprompted thoughts was positive, the effect on emotional well-being was also positive. Second, intentionality played a major role. If we intentionally let our minds wander, the effect on emotional well-being is more positive.A．Mind-wandering could make us feel bad.B．More thinking occurs during mind-wandering.C．So it prevents a larger conflict at the reunion.D．However, two factors affected this relationship.E．Mind-wandering can be personally embarrassing.F．Such examples of mind-wandering are quite common.G．It is a statistical integration of previously published studies.二、完形填空Ellie Walker, a 22-year-old employee at the British grocery chain Sainsbury’s, experienced something extraordinary.Known for her 21 behavior, Ellie enjoyed the daily chat with customers but never 22 how deeply these interactions could impact her life.

Cynthia was a primary school student. She was curious about everything. She made efforts to get a good grade in every subject. She was a kind-hearted and outgoing girl. At school, she was always ready to help her classmates. At home, she helped her mum do some housework. She was never a concern to her mum, Mrs. Anderson.However, Mrs. Anderson noticed a change in Cynthia these days. There were more quiet moments. Mrs. Anderson saw Cynthia looking out of the window, lost in thought. She also learned from her teacher that Cynthia wasn’t as focused on school as before. A sense of worry rose in Mrs. Anderson’s heart and she wondered about what was behind Cynthia’s unusual behavior.Before going to bed, she started talking with Cynthia, asking about her day. However, Cynthia just said that nothing in particular happened. Mrs. Anderson’s concern grew. She decided to keep a closer eye, hoping to uncover the challenges her daughter might be facing.One day, while cleaning up Cynthia’s bedroom, Mrs. Anderson discovered something unexpected — on her desk lay some books on how to treat injured birds. It was quite surprising. Cynthia had never told her about this. It also amazed Mrs. Anderson. She had a deep love for nature and birds and she could always find inspiration in their freedom and the beauty of their songs. She couldn’t help but wonder what had inspired her daughter’s newfound interest in birds. 注意：1.续写词数应为150左右;2.开头已给出。

河北省保定市部分学校2023-2024学年高一上学期1月月考英语试题一、阅读理解The Henan Museum was founded in 1927, and is one of the first museums in China. Let’s take a look at some favorites of the museum’s collections.Jiahu bone fluteThe Neolithic Age, around 10,000 years agoThe Jiahu bone flute is the oldest Chinese musical instrument. It is also the earliest known wind instrument in the world. People found more than 40 bone flutes in Jiahu, Henan. They are all made of bird bones. Most of them have seven holes. Our ancestors found a way to make musical instruments with nice sounds.‘Fuhao’ owl-shaped zunThe Shang Dynasty(c.16th century-11 century BC)People in the Shang Dynasty thought the owl was a powerful bird. This owl-shiaped bronze war e was found in the tomb of Fuhao. Fuhao was a queen in the Shang Dynasty. In some people’s eyes, she was a war goddess.Bronze ji n with cloud designThe Spring and Autumn Period (770-476 BC)Jin is a table for wine cups and pots. It’s to remind people not to get drunk. It’s rare to find jin. This ji n is made up of many cloud-shaped parts. And it is 1.03 meters long!Gold slip of Wu ZetianThe Tang Dynasty (690-705 AD)Empress Wu Zetian was the only empress in China.

Just over two years later, Su is the name on everyone’s lips at the venue’s Olympic debut — drawing the whole nation’s attention to the sport he loves.“The biggest motivation for me is my love for snowboarding,” Su said, when asked about the secret to his success. “In snowboarding, I feel like I can demonstrate my own style andcreativity. Every time I ride my board, it’s always a wonderful moment. I hope through my experience, I can inspire more young people to get interested in the sport.”Su, a former child actor who featured in action movies, said the Olympic gold would encourage him to seek for more breakthroughs — even beyond his athletic career.4．What was Su Yiming’s childhood dream?A．To win a gold medal in Olympics.B．To become a professional athlete.C．To reach the top of the sport.D．To demonstrate his own style and creativity. 5．What can we know from the text?A．Su won one championship in Beijing Winter Olympics.B．Su has been an excellent athlete since he chose the game.C．Su won a silver medal in the first international event in Shougang Big Air venue.D．Su drew the whole nation’s attention when he was an action movie actor.6．What characteristics of Su can you infer from the passage?A．Talented and hardworking.B．Brave and kind-hearted.C．Humorous and outgoing.D．Ambitious and helpful.7．What contributes most to Su Yiming’s success?A．His talent.B．His coach’s help.C．His hard work.D．His passion for snowboarding.Amur tiger coming from the coldThe number of Amur tigers, also known as Siberian tigers, removing from Russia into northeastern China, is rising because of lower levels of human activity, improvements in their habitat and a smoother transit corridor (走廊) between the countries, experts said.The area the tigers lived across the Sino-Russian border expanded by about 12 kilometers every three years from 2003 to 2016. “This expansion highlights the importance of the construction of the Sino-Russian cross-border environmental corridor for tigers. Data from the research team show that between 2013 and 2016, nearly 80 percent of the tigers walked back and forth across the border. As natural habitats are being repaired in China, more Amur tigers are giving birth and raising cubs in the country, meaning that they are gradually expanding into China.” Jiang Guangshun, a professor of wild animal resources at the Northeast Forestry University inHarbin, Heilongjiang province, said.In 2021, it was announced that the Northeast China Tiger and Leopard National Park would be built, along with four other parks across the country. By the end of 2021, the number of wild Amur tigers living in the area had risen to 50 from 27 in 2017. Jiang said that before the 1980s, at least 150 Amur tigers lived in the forests of Northeast China. However, economic development in the area saw their numbers fall to about 12.The collaboration between these neighboring parks creates a shared home for the animals. Efforts are required by both sides to promote the corridor, he said.Wang Zhigang, head of Dongning’s forestry bureau said: “As the population of prey species including wild boar and deer rises, Amur tigers are going farther into China for food. Tiger fur has been seen in ditches (沟) along the borders. The expansion of the tigers’ range is expected to continue. The central government has taken measures to protect these tigers.”8．What’s the purpose of the first paragraph?A．To make the story interesting.B．To draw people’s attention.C．To introduce the topic.D．To attract the reader.9．What does the expansion of tiger settlements across the Sino-Russian border stress?A．Natural habitats are being repaired in China.B．The population of the tigers hasincreased 80%.C．The tigers are gradually expanding into China.D．It’s important to construct this corridor for tigers.10．What does the underlined word “collaboration” in paragraph 4 probably mean?A．Competition.B．Teamwork.C．Challenge.D．Arrangement. 11．What will the author continue to write at the end of this passage?A．The benefits of the animal protection.B．The specific content of the measures.C．The population of the tigers.D．The changes of the habitat.Buying shampoo can be challenging—there are so many brands to choose from, across a huge range of prices. Some brands promise to repair and nourish our hair, while others promise to strengthen and add volume. But are any of these claims true? Do we even need shampoo at all?Since long before shampoo was invented—some say in India—our bodies have beenproducing sebum (皮脂) which keeps our skin from getting dry, manages the health of our head skin and makes our hair shiny. But it also collects dirt, and, if left untouched for too long, sebum can cause our hair to become oily.There are no disadvantages to letting our hair be oily, says Eleanore Richardson, Trichologist at Fulham Scalp and Hair Clinic, but many people choose to wash their hair regularly for aesthetic (审美的) reasons.And so we reach for the shampoo bottle. Shampoos contain a group of chemicals called surfacents (表面活性剂). They grab the dirt and oil from the surface of our hair, meaning when we wash down the shampoo, we also wash away the oil and. dirt. But, as Laura Waters, who’s a Professor of Pharmaceutical Analysis in the School of Applied Sciences at Huddersfield University; points out, “some surfacents work too well” and take the natural oils out of the hair, as well. More expensive shampoos may contain less harsh surfacents, but-adds Laura Waters—the type of shampoo doesn’t really matter. It’s on our hair very briefly and gets washed away.” It’s the conditioners and styling products that we use after the shampoo that make a bigger difference to the feel of our hair.Of course, the more we put onto our hair, the more we need to wash it off, creating a unhealthy circle. So, yes, it seems we do have a need for shampoo, but we also shouldn’t expect it to be a miracle cure. And, finally, next time you’re buying shampoo, remember that hair is made up of dead protein cells and that, sadly, not even the most expensive shampoo can bring them back to life.12．What is paragraph 2 mainly about?A．The advantage of sebum.B．The source of sebum.C．The type of sebum.D．The function of sebum.13．What do we know about according to Laura Waters?A．Expensive shampoos containing less harsh surfacents is better for our hair.B．Some surfacents of shampoos can remove the natural oils out of the hair.C．It is the surfacents of shampoos that make a bigger difference to the feel of our hair.D．It’s not necessary to wash our hair regularly for aesthetic reasons.14．What is the author’s attitude towards expensive shampoo?A．Disapproving.B．Supportive.C．Positive.D．Indifferent.15．What is the best title of the passage?A．Shampoo—A necessity or not.B．Shampoo—An expensive productC．Shampoo—A magical cure for our hair.D．Shampoo—A challenge to buy.Tips For Making Travel Easy & FunCurious about how to travel the world? I’ve been traveling around the world for many years as a digital nomad. And I have tons of useful travel tips from my journey. I’ll share my favorite ones with you all.Make yourself patientPatience is my top travel tip. Don’t sweat the things you can’t control. Life is much too short to be angry and annoyed all the time while traveling. Did you miss your bus? 16 . ATM out of money? Great! Take an unplanned road trip to the next town and explore. I know it can be hard sometimes, but just take a deep breath and remind yourself that it could be worse.17Rise before sunrise to have the best attractions all to yourself while avoiding large tourist crowds. It’s also a magical time for photos due to soft diffused light, and it’s usually easier to interact with locals getting ready for their day.Observe daily life around youIf you really want to get a feel for the pulse of a place, why not spend a few hours sitting ina park or on a busy street corner by yourself just watching day to day life happen in front of you.18 : the smells, the colors, the sounds, and human interactions. You’ll really absorb the destination, and remember these moments long after you leave.Laugh at yourself sometimes19 . Rather than get embarrassed, laugh at yourself. Don’t be afraid to screw up, and don’t take life so seriously. Relax! One time a whole bus full of Guatemalans laughed with glee when I forced the bus driver to stop so I could catch up my hat blown away by the wind on the side of the road.Volunteer occasionallyMake it a point to volunteer some of your time for worthwhile projects when traveling.20 , but you’ll often learn more about the country and its people while also making some newfriends.A．You need to get there before the bus arrivesB．No worries, there will be another oneC．Not only is it a very rewarding experienceD．You will definitely look like a fool many timesE．Break out of your comfort zoneF．Wake up early to avoid crowdsG．Slow down your train of thought and pay close attention to the details around you二、完形填空Several years ago, a teacher was hired and sent to visit children who were patients in a city hospital. Her job was to teach them with their schoolwork so they wouldn’t be too far 21 when well enough to return to school.One day, this teacher received a call 22 that she visit a particular boy. She was told by the teacher on the other end of the line, “We’re studying nouns and adverbs now. I’d be 23 if you could help him with his homework so he doesn’t fall behind the others.”It wasn’t until the visiting teacher got outside the boy’s room that she 24 it was located in the hospital’s burn unit.When she had finally walked into the room, she found the young boy, 25 urned, was obviously in great 26 . The teacher felt awkward and didn't know what to say.Finally she was able to stammer out (结结巴巴地说). “I’m the special visiting hospital teacher, and your teacher 27 me to help you with your nouns and adverbs.” Afterward, she thought it was not one of her most 28 lessons.The next morning when she returned, one of the nurses asked her, “What did you do to that Boy?”Before she could finish her apology, the nurse 29 her by saying, “You don’t understand.

Firstly, what confuses me most is the proper use of tenses. I often mix up tenses, leading to low scores on my writings, What’s more, I s truggle to find appropriate wordsto express myself accurately. Despite my massive efforts to expand my vocabulary, words still fail me when I need to write. In addition, I find it difficult to make my writing well-structured and coherent, which frustrates me a lot.I’d appreciate it if you could give me some practical suggestions on my problems. Looking forward to your reply.Yours,Li Hua第二节(满分25分)Before I knew it, I had only one day left for the project. In a panic I quickly glued together whatever materials I could find, my hands shaking with the weight of each hasty decision. The finished result looked miserable. However, several of my classmates, including Nate, had created amazingly detailed buildings. They used materials like clay, wood and so on and their constructions were highly praised by Mr. Smith. When I saw their models, I felt even more embarrassed about mine. It was apparent that they had put a lot more time into the assignment than I had.That taught me a great lesson. I learned from that day the importance of deciding on my priorities and budgeting my time. From then on, I tackled things a lot earlier instead of putting things off until tomorrow. As a result, not only did I finish my tasks ontime, but I also felt better because I didn’t have to panic at the last minute. At the end of the semester, my work was chosen by Mr. Smith on another occasion. Seeing my change, my parents and my sister were so proud of me. It dawned on me that getting things done on time instead of being a procrastinator really counted.听力录音稿Text 1M: Do you have any idea what’s wrong with my houseplant It gets plenty of sun and enough plant food...W: Are you watering it too often Remember this plant comes from the desert where there’s hardly any rain.M: Ah..Maybe that’s the problem!Text 2M: It seems to be human nature to pursue what we don’t have. Tall people want to be shorter, and short people want to be taller... W: I know. For example, when I was younger, my cousin always wanted my golden hair, and I wanted dark hair like hers.Text 3W: Hi, are there any tickets left for tonight’s concertM: Sorry, they’re sold out.

Hey, what’s wrong with your screen It’s all dark and the colors look strange.W: Oh! I’ve been using an app called “Sunset” to help me sleep at night.M: Really HowW: Well, studies show that too much blue light from screens can make sleeping difficult.

I also listen to white noise, which helps me fall asleep too.Text 7M: Can we do something about the temperature in here I have so many emails to deal with today, but my hands are so cold that I can hardly type my report!W: I know.

But how are we supposed to work in these conditionsW: I guess we always have the choice to work from home.M: True. But before my youngest daughter starts school, it’s just too difficult for me to do that.

I can’t wait to get inside and see what’s on offer!M: I heard this year’s Mini Fair is going to be even bigger and better than last year’s.

Here are the basketball courts. Then just behind them, you’ll see the football field and the running track. And that building over there is our swimming pool.M: Wow! There wasn’t room for anything like this at my previous school. I was on the swimming team, but we had to travel to use the city pool for our practices.W: Well, we’ve certainly got plenty of space. The arts teaching here is also excellent. We have a music studio and our own theater. M: Amazing!W: So, where would you like to go firstM: Well, I’m quite interested to see the science facilities. I’m hoping for a career in medicine.W: Okay, great! Well, the laboratories have all been updatedrecently, so we’ve got some really good equipment. Follow me. Text 10On my recent business trip to Shanghai, I met up with a local friend who took me out for a very interesting evening meal. At the Community AI Canteen, everything is done by robots. When you walk in there, you place your order on a screen. Using robotic arms, the intelligent cooking system then cooks your food before packing it up... It even adjusts the temperature, depending on whether you want to eat it straight away or take it home with you! To pay, you place your food on a smart cash desk, which immediately calculates (计算) the cost. There’s even a 24-hour noodle machine just outside, which offers hot and fresh food around the clock. The canteen offers a huge amount of choices and the dishes taste great. It is really fun to get “a taste of the future”. However, I’m not sure I would like all restaurants to be run by robots. I can see the benefits for busy families or office workers needing a quick lunch, but what about lonely older people who would miss the human touch I do think we will see more places like this in the future, though. At best, a human waiter can serve around 100 people in a day. The AI system can serve double that figure, making it good for business.荆州中学2024-2025学年高二上学期9月月考英语试题命题人：审题人：（全卷满分150分考试时间120分钟）第一部分听力(共两节，满分30分)第一节(共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分)听下面5段对话。

The festival started more than seven hundred years ago. For nine days, people come to the northern Spanish city for bull running, bullfighting and partying.The festival affected Hemingway so deeply that he returned eight times. Here is a description of what happens at the start of the bull running: A rocket would be lit. And the bulls would charge out of the gate. At that moment, a crowd of runners wearing white clothes and red scarves would start to run. They would look back, move and dance to avoid being injured by the charging bull’s horns. Onlookers would cheer them on from balconies above.In 1926, Hemingway wrote his first book, The Sun Also Rises. He wrote about his experiences in Pamplona and established himself as the voice of what became known as the Lost Generation. “I can’t stand it to think my life is going so fast and I’m not really living it,” says one character in the book. “Nobody ever lives their life all the way up except bull-fighters,” is the answer.Bill Hillman is a 41-year-old professor from Chicago. He first read the book at college. When he turned to the last page, he learnt two things: He wanted to become a writer, and he would run in front of Pamplona’s bulls someday. His first running of the bulls was in 2005interest.Last year, 1.7 million people came to the festival. Pamplona native Miguel has written about the festival’s links to Hemingway. He believes the writer’s influence on its popularity has been as large as people say.

The team trained nine goldfish to swim a set distance of 70cm and then return to their starting point when waved at. The experiment aimed to investigate how the fish would estimate this distance without any gestures, under different patterns.when presented with the vertical 2cm-wide stripes. However, when the stripe pattern was altered to either narrower vertical stripes, checked patterns, or horizontal stripes, the fish’s behavior changed significantly. Narrower vertical stripes led them to overestimating the distance by 36%, while horizontal stripes resulted in highly inconsistent estimations.According to the researchers, the goldfish appeared to be using an “optic (光学的) flow mechanism” based on the visual density of their environment. They kept track of how frequently the vertical pattern switched between black and white to estimate how far they had traveled. The study suggests that different optic flow mechanisms are used by mammals, including humans, based on angular (有角度的) motion of visual features. The study implies that the use of visually based distance information could have emerged early in the evolutionary timeline.“This study is novel because, despite knowing that fish respond to geometric information regarding direction and distance, we don’t know how they estimate distances,” Professor Colin Lever, although not involved in the study, said, “it’s exciting to explore fish spatial mapping because fish navigation evolved earlier and better than most mammals.”8．Why did Dr. Adelaide Sibeaux conduct the study on goldfish?A．To test the accuracy of goldfish’s internal GPS.B．To create an advanced navigation system for humansC．To uncover how an inbuilt GPS helps calculate distances.D．To explore the relationships between goldfish and humans9．What can we learn about the experiment?A．People gestured the goldfish throughout the experimentB．The tank was decorated with colorful background patternsC．Goldfish tended to underestimate distances with horizontal stripes.D．The change in the tank setting led to the goldfish's incorrect judgment.10．It can be concluded from the fourth paragraph that ____________.A．optic flow mechanism is unique to humansB．mammals developed flow mechanism long before goldfishC．goldfish evaluated the distance with multidimensional visual informationD．visual density of the environment strengthened the locating ability of goldfish 11．What attitude does Professor Colin hold towards the study?In our information-driven society, shaping our worldview through the media is similar to forming an opinion about someone only based on a picture of their foot. While the media might not deliberately mislead us, it often fails to provide a comprehensive view of reality.Consequently, the question arises: Where, then, shall we get our information from if not from the media? Who can we trust? How about experts — people who devote their working lives to understanding their chosen slice of the world? However, even experts can fall prey to the allure of oversimplification, leading to the “single perspective instinct” that prevent our ability to grasp the intricacies of the world.Simple ideas can be appealing because they offer a sense of understanding and certainty. And it is easy to take off down a slippery slope, from one attention-grabbing simple idea to a feeling that this idea beautifully explains, or is the beautiful solution to, lots of other things. The world becomes simple that way.Yet, when we embrace a singular cause for or a solution to all problems, we risk oversimplifying complex issues. For instance, depending the concept of equality may lead us to view all problems through the lens of inequality and see resource distribution as the cure-all medicine, However, such rigidity prevents us from seeing the multidimensional nature of challenges and hinders true comprehension of reality. This “single perspective instinct” ultimately clouds our judgment and restricts our capacity to tackle complex issues effectively. Being always in favor of or always against any particular idea makes you blind to information that doesn’t fit your perspective. This is usually a bad approach if you would like to understand reality.Instead, constantly test your favorite ideas for weaknesses. Be humble about the extent of your expertise. Be curious about new information that doesn’t fit, and information from other fields. And rather than talking only to people who agree with you, or collecting examples that fit your ideas, consult people who contradict you, disagree with you, and put forward different ideas as a great resource for understanding the world. If this means you don’t have time to form so many opinions, so what?Wouldn’t you rather have few opinions that are right than many that are wrong? 12．What does the underlined word “allure” in paragraph 2 probably mean?A．Temptation.B．Tradition.C．Convenience.D．Disapproval.A．They meet people’s demand for high efficiency.B．They generate a sense of complete understanding.C．They are raised and supported by multiple experts.D．They reflect the opinions of like-minded individuals.14．What will the author probably agree with?A．Simplifying matters releases energy for human brains.B．Constant tests on our ideas help make up for our weakness.C．A well-founded opinion counts more than many shallow ones.D．People who disagree with us often have comprehensive views.15．Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?A．Embracing Disagreement: Refusing OvercomplexityB．Enhancing Comprehension: Simplifying InformationC．Understanding Differences: Establishing RelationshipsD．Navigating Complexity: Challenging OversimplificationIn a world that often feels fast-paced and restrained to routines, the desire for van (房车)From the freedom to explore new horizons to fostering a minimalist mindset, here are some captivating advantages of embracing van life.Liberation from MaterialismThe confined space of a van encourages a minimalist lifestyle, where experiences are valued over possessions. 17 With minimal monthly expenses, such as parking fees and fuel costs, van dwellers can allocate resources to experiences rather than high rent or house payments. This mobile living is supported by the degrowth movement, which believes that economies should focus on securing the minimal basic needs instead of consumption and consumerism.Exploration and FlexibilityThe ability to follow adventure wherever it takes you is one of the most amazing aspects of living in a van. You can choose to wake up at dawn over the ocean one day and find yourself in a forested mountainside the next. Living in a van frequently involves being close to the outdoors surrounded by the beauty of nature. 1819 They adopt solar panels and efficient water systems , further minimizing their impact on the environment. People who choose to live in mobile homes believe that eventually, global warming and extreme weather might bring an end to sedentary (定居的) living patterns.Through the open road, the beauty of nature, and the friendship of fellow adventurers, van life presents a unique avenue for enriching the human experience. 20 A．It’s thrilling to travel the world.B．Many van lifers tend to go green.C．Living in a van can often be more cost-effective.D．They’ll find a sense of freedom of constant exploration.E．The natural world becomes an essential part of your daily lifeF．Better yet, it offers a way to reconnect with the essence of living.G．The concept of van life offers benefits beyond just a change of scenery.二、完形填空A little girl was enjoying the beautiful garden in her home.

When I first moved to America, I started eating like most Americans do. But to my surprise, I started gaining weight quickly. I soon realized that the typical American diet was filled with hidden calories. With such a high calorie intake, the only way to lose weight seemed to be through a lot ofexercise but time was not on my side. So after consulting professionals, I tried the Mediterranean diet, which focuses on healthy fats and whole foods. Slowly, I added Mediterranean recipes to my usual diet. After a month, my entire diet was Mediterranean-based. I felt energized, I felt full. But most importantly, I felt free. I wasn’t focusing on weight loss because I knew I was losing weight naturally. My experience inspired me to create: The Mediterranean Refresh, a book for anyone struggling with food. I’m here to tell you that if I can do it, you can too. My book isn’t for chefs; it’s for everyone.。

材料一：中华文明作为原生性的文明，延续数千年且历久而弥新，显示了极为强大的生命力。

中华文明特有的生命线，值得我们深入探究和深切体认。

以人为本位，而不是以超越人间的神明为本位，这是贯穿整个中华文明的第一道生命线。

春秋战国时期诸子学一个重要的贡献，就是他们用以现实的人为中心的真实世界取代了先前巫术以神统人的虚拟世界。

《尚书·泰誓》记述周武王一段名言：“惟天地万物父母，惟人万物之灵。

”《左传·庄公三十二年》记载：“吾闻之：国将兴，听于民；将亡，听于神。

”这更明白无误地说明决定国家命运的是民众而非神灵。

《老子》中强调：“天地无常心，以百姓心为心。

”在这里，现实中的平民百姓才具有至高无上的决定性地位，而不是天地、神明。

在中华文明中，人是一个社会性的存在，是一个群体性的存在。

人的本质，从来都是各种社会关系的总和。

中华文明的不断发展，就是人的群体联系的不断扩大、不断强化，社会关系越来越复杂化，人越来越能够自觉地和合理地处理好这些关系。

樊迟问仁，孔子说：“爱人。

”樊迟又问仁，孔子说：“夫仁者，已欲立而立人，己欲达而达人。

”仲弓问仁，孔子说：“已所不欲，勿施于人。

”人作为社会群体中的一员，具有其他生物所没有的社会性。

作为社会群体中一个成员的人，对于社会群体中的其他人能够做到爱人、立人、达人，能够做到已所不欲，勿施于人。

Originally Hislop desired to be a lawyer, but her father rejected paying law school tuition (学费) because he didn’t support women lawyers. Therefore, Teaching was the next best choice for Hislop with the help of her grandmother and aunt. She enrolled at Stanford in 1936, earning her bachelor’s (学士) degree in education four years later.It’s worth noting that even if she had received her degree, many school systems wouldn’t have hired her as a married woman. Not until the 1964 Civil Rights Act were these “marriage bars” that allowed for schools to not hire wives, and even fire teachers who got married after hiring, completely done away with. Gender (性别) inequality may have put a hold on her career, but they led to her becoming a powerful advocate for all students.Hislop worked to improve educational opportunities for all students, believing everyone should have access to higher education if they desired. Her efforts contributed to transforming Yakima Valley College from a junior college to an independent institution awarding associates, bachelor’s, and master’s degrees. This was achieved through her work with local and state legislators and the Community College Act of 1967. Hislop also served on boards of various education and arts-focused organizations.“I didn’t return to teaching, but I feel I put my teaching certificate to good use serving in committees and on boards and trying to improve educational opportunities every chance I got,” Hislop says. At 105, Hislop remains an active community member. Her son-in-law Doug Jensen notes, “The biggest lesson I’ve taken from her is that you never really stop learning. She’s a reader with a strong thirst for knowledge, and at 105 she’s still energetically moving and shaking.”4．What made Hislop choose teaching?A．Financial difficulties of her family.B．Family responsibilities.C．Her interest in education.D．Her father’s refusal of tuition.5．What can we know about the society when Hislop was young?A．Women faced many limits on career.B．Lawyer was the best job choice.C．Education was open to everyone.D．Men and women had equal chances. 6．What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?A．Hislop’s political ambitions.B．Hislop’s plan to build educational equality.C．Hislop’s desire to change education policies.D．Hislop’s efforts and contribution in education.7．Which of the following can best describe Hislop?A．Determined and devoted.B．Energetic and humorous.C．Wise but indecisive.D．Courageous but impatient.A popular nature park called the lees Railway Land Local Nature Reserve, was damaged by over use. Many of the park’s native wild flowers and grasses had disappeared after decades of use. “It was a degraded(退化的) woodland,” aid Dylan Walker, a wildlife manager in lees. “We weren’t seeing any plants coming up. People were loving our city nature reserve to death.”In March, dog owners were surprised when they saw an unusual offer: They could bring in their dogs and let them run free in the reserve, as long as the pumps would wear backpacks while playing. The Railway Land Wildlife Trust decided that using dogs would be a simple way to scatter(撒) native wild flower and grass seeds from the backpacks, which had small holes in them. As the dogs raced around and played, the seeds would drop from the backpacks in areas that humans couldn’t easily reach on the 25- acre reserve.Walker said he’d seen a story about two sisters in chide who had used their three dogs to scatter seeds in areas destroyed by wild fires. “We looked at that and thought it was a brilliant idea,” Walker said. “We also thought it was a good way to share how wolves once walked around the UK and picked up seeds on their fur, which were then dropped in other places.”Five months later, people in the lees area are beginning to see the dogs’ forts work. Small green shoots are appearing all over the forest floor. “It was a great pleasure to watch the dogs running around, especially in out-of-reach places that we couldn’t get into,” he said. “The dogscovered four times the distance that a human walker could do.” The restoration(恢复) project was a fun way to allow dogs to run off lash. Walker said, “We’re going to try it again this fall, and we hope to keep it going for a couple of years.”8．What happened to the Nature Reserve in lees according to paragraph 1?A．It was closed to the public.B．It had too many wild animals.C．It was over crowded with visitors.D．It suffered losses in some native plant species. 9．How did the Wildlife Trust carry out their seed-scattering plan?A．By hiring professional gardeners.B．By using small planes to spread seeds.C．By organizing volunteer planting events.D．By employing dogs with special backpacks. 10．What can be inferred about the seed-scattering project from the last paragraph?A．It has shown promising results.B．It has failed to meet expectations.C．It has caused unexpected problems.D．It has completely restored the park. 11．What would be the best title for the text?A．The Reduction of England’s City ParksB．Dogs Are Helping Restore a Nature ReserveC．Novel Gardening technique in Wildlife ManagementD．Balancing Recreation and Conservation in Nature ReservesMothers whose parents help out with child care are more likely to show their children parental warmth than mothers who do not receive any support, according to a study led by Nanyang Technological University, Singapore(NTU Singapore)and published in a journal.According to the NTU Singapore-led study, which analyzed data from 615 mother-child pairs in the Growing Up in Singapore Towards healthy Out comes(GUSTO)study, mothers of children aged 4 and a half said they used less frequent authoritarian (专制的) parenting styled when the child’s maternal grandparents stepped in to help. When their children were 6, mothers who had been supported by their own parents also reported using more positive parenting styled, which is characterized by warmth, responsiveness, and a friendly home environment. Interestingly, the study did not find evidence to support a connection between support from other types of care giving arrangements — paternal grandparents, both maternal and paternal grandparents, or domestic helpers — and the above-mentioned positive parenting approaches in mothers.Associate Professor Set oh, who is also the Director of NTU’s Early Cognition Lab, said, “While maternal grandparents, paternal grandparents, and domestic helpers may all provide instrumental assistance and emotional encouragement when it comes to child care duties, our study found that child care support from maternal grandparents was the most beneficial.” This finding supports the idea introduced in earlier research that maternal grandparents are in a unique position to provide support in a manner most aligned with the needs of mothers, possibly due to shared valued and easiness of communication.While the study was done in Singapore, the research team said the findings that tell maternal grand parental support from paternal grand parental support could be relevant across Asian countries, where grand parental involvement in child care is considered a cultural expectation. The research team added that it would also be interesting and meaningful to examine whether the benefits of maternal grand parenting reach adolescence and early adult hood to influence the family’s life tracks.12．What do we know about the mothers of children aged four and a half?A．They used less controlling parenting styled with the aid of their mothers.B．They received financial support from their mothers.C．They expected to work in senior positions.D．They did some housework alone regularly.13．How many kinds of assistance in caring for children were mentioned according to the text?A．Two.B．Three.C．Four.D．Five.14．What does the underlined phrase “maligned with” in paragraph 3 probably mean?A．Dealt with.B．Agreed with.C．Started with.D．Varied with. 15．What is the main idea of the last paragraph?A．The future arrangements of the study.B．The social meaning of high-quality child care.C．The significance of the study in other situations.D．The details of grand parentalinvolvement in child care.It’s normal to face math anxiety.
