APlastic surgery has long been big business in the US, but now the trend is sweeping across Asia.Figures from the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery(ISAPS),suggest that whenpopulation is taken into account. South Korea is now the world's largest market for plastic surgery.In order to change their looks, 20 percent of women between the ages of 19 and 49 in Seoul, the country's capital city, admitted they had gone under the knife.It is believed that the rise of South Korea's pop music industry is behind the popularity, and many patients visit clinics with photos of famous stars. asking surgeons to emulate (复制) their noses or eyes.One of the country's largest clinics, JK Plastic Surgery Center, founded by Joo Kwon, recently opened a hotel to better serve customers, who spend an average of $17,675 during a single visit.An increasing amount of clients are non-Koreans, from China, Japan, the Middle East and evenAfrica, and ministers believe medical tourism will help the Korean economy.However, Mr.Kwon warned that young people should be cautious when seeking such operations. “I think South Korea has a very narrow definition of beauty because we look pretty much the same. It is also related to low self-esteem. I think the situation will somewhat improve in future as society becomes more diverse. But it will take quite a bit of time until we get there,” he told the reporters.Last year, the Education Ministry issued a booklet warning Korean high school students of plastic surgery syndrome, saying a local woman whose addiction to plastic surgery left her with an ugly face.21.What is the main cause of the increase in plastic surgery in South Korea?A.

He is objective about it.23.What does the underlined word "diverse" mean in the passage?A. differentB. specialC. beautiful D .confident24. What is the passage mainly about?A .How to have plastic surgery. B. The famous stars in South Korea.C. Why women have plastic surgery.D. Rapid growth of plastic surgery in South Korea.BComfort zone is the mental place surrounded by borders in our mind where we feel secure. Even though this comfort area and its boundaries are just a state of mind that has nothing to do with reality, it plays a huge role in the progress of our development. Since the comfort zone is limited, there is not much benefit for you inside your comfort zone. Nothing new will happen until you open yourself and leave your comfort zone.As long as you still having the same beliefs, you cannot grow and expect new things in your life. When you change your beliefs, you will change your thoughts, feelings and actions, and only then you can expend and grow in all aspects in your life.Even though your background may be affecting your present situation, what really matters is not where you were born, your skin color, race, age, gender, religion, government, or even the poor environment in which you have been living for so many years, but what really matters and makes a big difference in your life is your attitude, to understand your comfort zone, how you limit yourself within it, who you are, why you behave the way you do it, and mainly where you are going.Sadly many people don't go anywhere because they stay within their comfort zone. They accept defeat after defeat before even trying or knowing how capable or valuable they really are. These circumstances are not the cause of our actual situation but the conformism (因循守旧) and the poverty of our thoughts and therefore the weakness of our broken spirit. Leave your past behind; constantly transcend (超越)your comfort zone! Your past within this comfort zone is nothing but a wasted load that you don't need to carry at all.Take constant action as many times as it is required and never, never quit. As Napoleon Hill said, “A quitter never wins and a winn er never quits. Defeat is never a failure; no circumstance ever is failure until it is accepted by the individual as a failure.” Nothing is impossible for an optimist attitude; everything is possible when we start blindly trusting ourselves, when we have a burning desire to succeed and a blind determination to make our dreams come true; everything is possible when we don't take a no for an answer.25. What is comfort zone according to the passage?A.A place in our realistic life where we obtain comfort.B.A mental place in our mind where we stick to our beliefs.C.A limited place in our mind where we feel safe.D.A secret place in our mind where we communicate with ourselves.26. The author believes staying in our comfort zone can________.A. prevent us from being aware of the realityB. protect us from the cruel realityC. push our development in lifeD. stop us making progress in life27. Napoleon Hill is quoted (引用) in the last paragraph to show that________.A.one should not quit in order to succeedB. there is a great difference between defeat and failureC.it is important to take constant actionsD. a successful person can't leave his comfort zone28.What is NOT necessary for us to succeed?A.A blind determination.B. Refusing to have a no for an answerC. An optimistic attitude.D. The poor environment in which we live.29.The writing style of this passage can be described as________.A. defensive(防守的)B. persuasive(有说服力的)C. subjective(主观的)D. supportive(支持的)CI was sitting in a taxi, wondering if I had overdressed for the evening, when I looked out of the window and saw Mother rooting through(翻找) a dustbin. It was just after dark in March. People hurried along the sidewalks with their collars turned up. I was stuck in traffic two blocks from the party where I was heading.Mother stood fifteen feet away. She had tied rags around her shoulders to keep out the spring cold and was rooting through the dustbin. Her gestures were all familiar ——the way she tilted(倾斜) her head when studying items of potential value, the way her eyes widened with childish joy when she found something she liked. She probably looked like any of the thousands' of homeless people in New York City. But still she reminded me of the mother. She'd been painting in the desert and reading Shakespeare aloud.It had been months since I laid eyes on Mom, and when she looked up, I was overcome with panic that she would see me and call out my name, and that someone on the way to the same party would see us together and that my secret would be out.I slid down in the seat and asked the driver to turn around and take me home.The taxi stopped in front of my building, the doorman held the door for me, and the elevator man took me up to my floor. The apartment was silent except for the click of my heels on the polished wood floor. I still panicked for seeing Mother rooting happily through the dustbin. I put some Vivaldi on, hoping the music would settle me down.I looked around the room. There were bronze-and-silver vases and books with worn leather spines(书脊). There were the Georgian maps I'd had framed and overstuffed(有厚软垫的) leather armchair I liked to sink into. I'd tried to turn the apartment into the sort of place where the person I wanted to be would live. But I could never enjoy it without worrying about my parents on a sidewalk or somewhere else. I was ashamed of myself for wearing pearls and living on Park Avenue while they were busy keeping warm and finding something to eat.What could I do? I'd tried to help them countless times, but Father would insist they didn't need anything, and Mother would ask for something silly, like a perfume atomizer(喷雾器) . They said that they were living the way they wanted to.After sliding down in the taxi, I hated myself——hated my clothes and my apartment. I had to do something, so I called a friend of Mother's and left a message. It was our system of staying in touch. We met for lunch at a restaurant.Mother was sitting at a booth, studying the menu when I arrived. She waved heartily when she saw me. "It's my baby girl!" she called out.We ordered.She started talking about Picasso. She'd seen a retrospective(回顾展) of hiswork.“I'm worried about you,”I said. “Tell me what I can do to help.”Her smile faded. “What makes you think I need your help?”“ Mother, I'm not rich. But I want to do whatever could help you change your life and make it better.”“Help me change my life? I'm fine. You're the one who needs help. Your values are all confused.”"Mother, I saw you rooting through trash in the East Village.""Well, people in this country are too wasteful. It's my way of recycling." She took a bite of her food. "Why didn't you say hello?""I was too ashamed, Mother. ”"You see?" Mother pointed her chopsticks at me. "That's exactly what I'm saying. You're too easily embarrassed. Your father and I are who we are. Accept it.""And what am I supposed to tell people about my parents?"“Just tell the truth," Mom said. "That's simple enough.”30.When the author saw her mother,A. it was a cold day in winterB. she was driving her car to a partyC. it had been days since they last metD. she was stuck in traffic in the East Village31. What can we learn about Mother?A. She lived a miserable life.B. She enjoyed the way she lived.C. She didn't have a good education.D. She couldn't live better because of lacking money.32.What does the underlined part, “my secret”, in the third paragraph, probably refer to?A. The nickname Mother called the author.B. That the author talked to a woman rooting through the trash.C. That the author's parents didn't have a satisfactory life.D. The author's panic in unexpectedly seeing her mother.33.The author provided details about her apartment to show that sheA. made every effort to live in a decent(体面的)wayB. enjoyed her-good life in every wayC. lived where the person she wanted to be would liveD. was rich enough to help her poor parents.34.In the author's opinion, rooting through a dustbin is_________.A. a way of reusing the wasted thingsB. a good method to save moneyC. an interesting way to kill timeD. done by someone who is very poor35. According to Mother, the author needed help because she_________.A. desired a good life to liveB. wasted too many things in her daily lifeC. was too easily ashamed to greet herD. cared too much about what others would think about her第二节（共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分）根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能够填入空白处的最佳选项。

Wang De wen, known as “Grandpa Amu” on YouTube, has been praised as the modern day Lu Ban, a well-known Chinese structural engineer during the Zhou Dynasty, thanks to his rich carpentry(木工手艺) knowledge.Grandpa Amu’s most popular video, which shows him making a delicate wooden arch bridge, has gone viral on YouTube, gaining more than 40 million views. “If you do something, you have to love it, and you have to be interested in it; however, being interested doesn’t mean there’s only happiness and no pain.” Grandpa Amu shared when talking about his excellent carpentry skills.His most popular works include a folding stool, a model of the China pavilion from the 2010 Shanghai Expo, and an apple-shaped interlocking puzzle, known as a Lu Ban lock. Grandpa Amu follows an ancient Chinese mortise and tenon(榫卯) technique, which means no nails or glue are involved in the entire process of building the arch bridge.The master carpenter has also made several wooden toys for his grandson using the same technique. His young grandson’s favorites include a walking Peppa Pig and a bubble blowing machine. Attracting over 1.17 million fans on YouTube, Grandpa Amu’s videos so far have gained more than 200 million views.His wonderful woodworking skills, using the same mortise and tenon joints found in the Forbidden City, were developed from the age of thirteen as a way of supporting his family in East China’s Shandong Province. “The grandson is so happy, as there have been so many fine andunique toys made by grandpa from an early age,” commented one netizen; while another said “It’s amazing. I hope these traditional crafts can be passed on!”4．Why is Grandpa Amu regarded as the modern day Lu Ban?A．For his simple words.B．For his popular videos.C．For his carpentry skills.D．For his excellent arch bridge.5．What do Grandpa Amu’s remarks mean in Paragraph 2?A．Theory is from pracitce.B．Success depends on love.C．Excellent skills lie in hard work.D．Happiness comes from interest.6．What is the unique feature of Grandpa Amu’s craft works?A．No nails or glue.B．Delicate design.C．The apple shape.D．The wooden material.7．What message does this text mainly convey?A．Being popular means more fans.B．Perfect skills earn more money.C．Supporting family needs more skills.D．Traditional crafts deserve passing on.Amazon recently announced its latest launch, a robot called Astro. Small in size, but with impressive technology, Astro is seemingly similar to Amazon’s popular virtual assistant. With all the same capabilities as Alexa, many critics are asking why there’s a need for Astro.Answering this question, Amazon’s Vice-President of Products, Charlie Tritschler, highlights some unique features of Astro that make it a different kind of robot. Astro can move on its own and follow people, offering consumers a far broader range of options. Besides, it can monitor home security. Astro uses Artificial Intelligence to learn more about household members by interacting with users. Users can also register themselves and others into its recognition system. When they leave home, they can make an away mode, which means “Sentry (哨兵) Mode”, or “Patrol Mode” start working. If someone who is not recognized enters the house, Astro will follow and record them. Astro’s mobility seems to be the key feature in its technological enhancement, but what appeals to people most is its “unique persona”. Its big, circular, blinking “eyes” displayed on its screen-like head making it look rather cute are a big reason for this.Years of research show that humans often experience positive emotional connections with robots. According to MIT’s technology review of Astro, it may not fall far from this observation.People have come to love robotic pets, though they are fully aware that the pets are lifeless. Robots at home can play a useful role in helping elderly patients fight loneliness or young children face social anxiety.Amazon is offering people interested in Astro the chance to sign up for Day 1 Editions, a program giving invitations to Astro as soon as it goes on the market later this year. Tritschler is encouraging people to personalize the robot when it becomes available, and he is confident that users will come up with more ideas and features they will want to see in the robot in the near future to make it even better.8．What is paragraph 2 mainly about?A．The convenient operation of Astro.B．The essential functions of Astro.C．The increasing popularity of Astro.D．The distinctive capabilities of Astro. 9．Which aspect of Astro attracts people most?A．Its recognition system.B．Its ability to move on its own.C．Its adorable appearance.D．Its ability to monitor home security. 10．What is Tritschler’s attitude to the future of Astro?A．Critical.B．Positive.C．Uncertain.D．Doubtful. 11．What is the best title for the text?A．Astro: A Robot Assistant B．The New Revolution of AIC．Astro: An Emotional Relief D．The Great Potential of RobotsMany older people around the world have at least one common concern: How to get younger people, hooked on their electronic devices, interested in classic art. Take the Monkey King, or Sun Wukong, as an example. The main character in the 16th-century classic novel, Journey to the West, is a romantic figure of bravery and adventure that charmed millions of readers before the appearance of online attractions.Havoc in Heaven, a new Peking Opera film, attracted the wider public to the glamor of the traditional Chinese performance art, featuring one of the best-known chapters from Journey to the West. This film, expected to create a new channel to promote Peking Opera, includes nearly all the key ingredients of Peking Opera. It covers all the basic techniques, more than 10 classic tunes, and makeup for dozens of facial representations of different figures’ characteristics.It’s actually a big challenge to combine Peking Opera and film, each of which has its own rhythm, according to Cheng Lu, director of the film, who is adopting a fresh approach to present the traditional art form. One challenge that Cheng and his production team faced is how to balance the new approach with maintaining the fundamentals of the art. The basic principles and performance skills in Peking Opera cannot be changed. For example, performances in Peking Opera often emphasize symbolism over the accurate representation of motion. There are never real horses on stage, and the film reflects that. And when Sun Wukong eats peaches, he merely copies the action of eating without taking a bite.Some background images on stage, such as a painted waterfall, remain, and a live band was on the set to provide sound for the film, rather than employing the pre-recorded music. “If we change traditions to cater to people’s taste and preference for a regular film, it will no longer be a Peking Opera piece of art,” Cheng said.On the other hand, some creativity was needed because Cheng and his team did not just want to document a stage performance. Computer technology is also applied to achieve some visual effects and to present impossible scenes, such as explosions or the heavenly court floating in the clouds. Also, the filming process leaves no room for actors to make the slightest mistake in front of cameras, such as those that would probably go unnoticed in an opera house.Peking Opera films played a powerful role in the 1960s and 70s, but their popularity gave way to more diverse entertainment. In recent years, there has been a recovery in the popularity of Peking Opera films. However, the overuse of special effects in many film adaptations of Peking Opera plays has weakened the original charm of the stage performances. The imagination (enabled by the stage) can never be sacrificed for a film’s expression.12．What is the purpose of the first paragraph?A．To blame young people addicted to electronic devices.B．To advertise a new Peking Opera film, Havoc in Heaven.C．To express older people’s concern about the young generation.D．To arouse readers’ interest in traditional Chinese performance art.13．What did Director Cheng do while producing the film?A．He made changes to basic performance skills.B．He made use of symbols and motions equally.C．He insisted on a band playing music on the scene.D．He brought onto the stage exact details of real life.14．What innovation did Cheng’s team make?A．They opposed a rigid recording of the performance.B．They enriched visual effects with modern technology.C．They allowed actors to repeat actions before the camera.D．They adopted real explosion scenes during the shooting.15．What can we conclude from the last paragraph?A．Imagination is a unique charm of Peking Opera films.B．Technology makes up for the loss of stage imagination.C．There is some possibility for a film to replace Peking Opera.D．The original charm of Peking Opera cannot be sacrificed for films.Improving your focus can make you a better student or employee as well as a happier and more organized person. 16Create a clean environment. When it’s a task where you are seated at a desk, then you will need to clean the desk area and become more organized. Let’s suppose you are trying to quit smoking. 17 In other words, on your quit date the house and car you occupy need to be “smokeless” in every way. No ashtrays, lighters, etc.18 For example, if your intention is to be a non-smoker then you are more likely to succeed hanging out in a local gym instead of a local bar. Choose the right place, and you can cut out the distractions you have control over and minimize the ones you can’t stop completely.Focus on one task at a time. Though many people think that multi-tasking is a great way to accomplish goals more quickly and to get two or three things done at once, multi-tasking is actually harmful to your concentration. Occupied with many tasks, you may think you’re getting more done. 19 Therefore, work on getting just one thing done at a time and you’ll see that you get this done more quickly.20 Do this in writing in outline form,and breaking down the steps can help your mind from not getting overwhelmed.A．Set small steps and short term goals.B．Create the environment to allow this to be possible.C．Make a list of goals at the beginning of every day or week.D．Select a proper place where you are most likely to be able to focus.E．If you really want to get good grades,you should keep yourself from getting distracted. F．However,it will harm your concentration not to put all of your focus and energy into only one task.G．If you want to improve your focus, you need to learn how to avoid distractions before accomplishing a task.二、完形填空Maybe it's my love of baseball that connects my aunt Helen and me.

江苏省无锡市2023-2024学年高一上学期期终教学质量抽测英语试卷一、阅读理解（本大题共4小题）Liz Pichon, known for her bcstselling Tom Gates series for children, shares the books that shaped her.The Bad Speller by William SteigReading this as a child was a life-changing moment. Although I loved reading, I found it quite difficult. My mum had an American friend who bought me this book because she knew how much I struggled with spelling, and she thought it would make me laugh. It really did. And it stuck in my memory a lot. Even now, it’s one of those books that never seems to age. I love the drawings—they planted a seed in my head somewhere that pictures and words go together and can be really funny.Silly Verse for Kids by Spike MilliganThis book is so tiny and thin, but I loved that it had all these silly poems inside with rich attractive drawings—and it made me want to write rhymes, and to have a go at drawing. After buying this in a local bookshop, I started reading it. And after finishing reading it, I started writing my own poetry. I’m always including silly poems in my books and I think that’s definitely down to the influence of this book.Jaws by Peter BenchleyThis book has a particular meaning for me. In school, I h ad a teacher who didn’t have a television. It made me think when I had to come up with a story for my homework, I could just change the plot of Jaws a little and he’d never know. When he read it, he thought it was amazing. I tell that story to children now, because copying other people’s stories is a great way of learning how to do things—by seeing how other people do them.1．What is the purpose of the text?A．To explain three bestsellers of Liz Pichon. B．To sell Liz Pichon’s favorite books.C．To introduce three life-changing books. D．To promote Tom Gates series for children. 2．Which of the following books develops Liz Pichon’s interests in poems?A．The Bad Speller. B．Silly Verse for Kids. C．Jaws. D．Tom Gates series.3．What do The Bad Speller and Silly Verse for Kids have in common?A．They’re both difficult to read B．They both have wonderful drawings. C．They’re both given as a present.D．They both contribute to Liz’s spelling. 4．What particular meaning docs the book Jaws have for Liz Pichon?A．It taught her to do things by copying. B．It helped her get along with her teacher.C．It made her fall in love with drawing. D．It planted a seed of reading in her head. 5．Where can we find the text?A．On the best-seller list. B．In the comic column of a newper.C．On the English-talents list. D．In the education column of a magazine.If you thought that your child’s academic performance is based simply on the number of hours spent on studying, you are wrong. Good grades are a result of multiple factors, everything from the child’s brains to the environment they are in. And one of the major, mostly ignored, influencing factor is physical health. Physical activity and health actually can improve a person’s ability to learn. According to the National Academy of Medicine, exerc ise can improve a child’s cognitive abilities, health, and academic performance significantly.According to a study by the University of British Columbia, regular aerobic exercise betters the functioning of the hippocampus, the area of the brain involved in learning and memory. Other forms of exercise like balance exercises, muscle exercises, and resistance training did not have the same result on the brain.The effect of exercise on memory and thinking is both direct and indirect. Directly, regular exercise gives the ability to increase the release of growth factors. These growth factors are chemicals in the brain that affect the growth of new blood vessels, the health of brain cells, as well as the survival of new brain cells. On the other hand, getting enough exercise will improve sleep quality and mood. It will also reduce stress and anxiety.It is believed that the benefits of exercise during the school day are greater than those coming from increasing class time. Furthermore, the greatest cognitive benefits from physical education have been seen to come about when physical education was given either in the first half of the day or midday rather than at the end of the day.In order to get the children moving, rest time, PE classes, biking or walking to school should be promoted. Activities like after-school sports that used to be held at school should be restarted. Physical activity should not be seen as a dispensable option but as an important educational concern. 6．What factor is often forgotten when it comes to good grades?A．Child’s High IQ.B．A good environment.C．Physical health. D．The hours spent on learning.7．Which of the following exercises is best for learning and memory?A．Regular aerobic exercise. B．Balance exerciseC．Muscle exercise. D．Resistance training8．How does exercise influence thinking indirectly?A．By releasing growth factors in large numbers.B．By influencing the growth of new blood vessels.C．By affecting the survival of new brain cells.D．By improving a person’s mood and sleep q uality.9．What does the underlined word “dispensable”mean in the last paragraph?A．Unique. B．Universal. C．Unusual. D．Unnecessary. 10．What is the passage mainly about?A．Mental health should never be ignored.B．Physical education class is really a good option.C．Exercise may bring about good academic grades.D．Different exercises have different results on the brain.Since Zhao Hongshan’s dermal filler injection (皮肤填充注射) four years ago—he has spent around 80,000 yuan on his face. “Getting plastic surgeri es is just as normal as body building. Both make men more handsome and confident,” says the 33-year-old, who owns a gym in Beijing.Zhao is among a growing number of Chinese men using plastic surgeries to change their physical appearance to increase their self-confidence. In 2021, the market for beauty medicine in China was worth more than 495 billion yuan, with males accounting for around 15 percent of customers, according to a report by plastic surgery social networking app Gengmei.There is a rising trend of young men turning to plastic surgeries; most male customers are in their teens or 20s. “Some men just want to please themselves, while others hope to improve their possibility in job hunting or dating,” says Wang Jun, vice-president of marketing for Gengmei. “Menare under the same social pressures as women and their confidence and competitiveness would be more or less weakened by facial and body weaknesses.”However, experts point out the risks of plastic surgeries. Fan Jufeng, director of the Plastic Surgery Department at Beijing Chaoyang Hospital, does not encourage people, no matter men or women, to “blindly” go under the knife.According to the National Health Commission, a total of 2,772 cases related to illegal (非法的) plastic surgeries were handled by China's health departments during a year long attack that started in May 2017.Fan also warned the public of the negative influences of live streaming celebrities (流量明星) who promote the misunderstanding that being pretty goes above all else. “Whe ther to have plastic surgeries is a personal choice, but people should not be addicted (上瘾) to it,” Fan says. “Think twice on it. After all, a rich and beautiful inside world is far more important than a pretty face.”11．How does the author introduce the topic of plastic surgeries?A．By giving an example. B．By providing dataC．By raising a question. D．By making suggestions.12．What does Paragraph 2 mainly focus on?A．The huge cost of men’s beauty market in China.B．The growing beauty market for the Chinese men.C．The rising trend of young men turning to plastic surgeries.D．The reason for the increasing popularity of plastic surgeries.13．What do Wang Jun’s words show in Paragraph 3?A．The benefits of men’s plastic surgeries.B．The great social pressure for Chinese men.C．The reasons for men’s plastic surgeries.D．The misunderstanding of the short cut to success.14．Why does Fan Jufeng advise thinking twice on plastic surgeries?A．They’re unsafe in health.B．They’re expensive in price.C．They’re wrong in beli efs. D．They’re useless in job hunting.15．What is the best title for the text?A．Plastic Surgeries—Male vs Female B．Women’s Plastic Surgeries—Yes or No C．Plastic Surgeries—Price vs Result D．Plastic Surgeries—Blind or NotEuropeans and other western nations have controlled car industry for over a century. But a newcomer will soon be running after them at their heels. 16 It is more than ten years since they did better than America to become the most productive car-makers in the world. China is producing the best cars in the world, and on the way to controlling car production. 17China has gradually built its car-making capabilities during different periods. 18 And then its state-owned companies reached arrangements with western makers like General Motors in the 1980s. This produced cars that were far better designed, and soon China’s roads were becoming busy with western clones.19 It still pays relatively low wages and has millions of skilled workers. Skilled workers are important to reduce the costs because they make vehicles that need fewer rebuilds. Some Chinese vehicles in the past ten years haven’t had the design expected by western buyers, so haven’t sold in enough cars in Europe to worry the western makers.20 Chinese-designed and built vehicles are not far behind in their design, and starting to enter European markets. Xpeng is one Chinese start-up that only produces electric vehicles. Having sold well in China, it is making its first moves into Europe via Norway with its G3 model. The next revolution in car industry is replacing petrol vehicles with electric. With all of China’s advantages, it could finally become the home of the best cars in the world.A．How did this happen?B．Yet this is changing rapidly.C．These cars sold well at home and abroad.D．The Chinese are not exactly newcomers.E．China also has excellent shipping links, like Shanghai.F．China is also in a good position to build cars for the right price.G．It originally began making Soviet-designed vehicles in the 1950s.二、完形填空（本大题共1小题）It was an April evening.

While the Internet offers numerous benefits, it also poses several challenges.One of the most significant advantages of the Internet is its ability to connect people from all over the world. It allows us to communicate, share information, and collaborate on projects without any geographical barriers. This has revolutionized the way we work, study, and interact with others.However, the Internet also has its downsides. One of the biggest concerns is the issue of cyberbullying. Cyberbullying involves using the Internet to harass, intimidate, or threaten others. This can have severeemotional and psychological effects on the victims, leading to depression, anxiety, and even suicide.Another challenge is the spread of misinformation. With the ease of sharing information online, it is difficult to verify the accuracy of what we read. This has led to the proliferation of fake news and false information, which can have serious consequences, such as influencing elections and spreading hate.Moreover, the Internet can be addictive. Many people spend hours online, neglecting their personal relationships and physical health. This can lead to social isolation and a sedentary lifestyle, which are both detrimental to our well-being.Despite these challenges, the Internet continues to play a vital role in our lives. It is essential that we learn to use it responsibly and safely. Here are some tips to help us navigate the digital world:1. Stay informed: Always verify the accuracy of the information you read online.2. Be mindful of your online behavior: Avoid cyberbullying and respect others' privacy.3. Balance your online and offline life: Spend time with family and friends, and engage in physical activities.4. Use cybersecurity tools: Protect your personal information and use strong passwords.In conclusion, the Internet is a powerful tool that can be used for good or bad.

1. A breathtaking trick potentially left over from our ancestors might be found in us ﹣ the ability to sense oxygen through our skin.Amphibians, animals such as frogs that can live both on land and in water, have long been known to be capable of breathing through their skin. In fact, the first known lungless frog that breathes only through its skin was discovered recently in the rivers of Borneo.Now the same oxygen sensors found in frog skins and in the lungs of mammals （哺乳动物） have unexpectedly been discovered in the skin of mice."No one had ever looked, " explained Randall Johnson, a biologist researcher.Mice and frogs are quite distant relatives, so the fact they have these molecules（分子）in common in their skin suggests they might well be found in the skin of other mammals, such as humans."We have no reason to think that they are not in the skin of people too, " Johnson said.These molecules not only detect oxygen, but help increase levels of vital red blood cells, which carry oxygen around the body. Normal mice breathing in air that is 10 percent oxygen﹣a dangerously low level similar to conditions at the top of Mount Everest, and about half that of air at sea level. However, mice that had the oxygen sensor HIF﹣1a genetically removed from their skin failed to produce this hormone（荷尔蒙）even after hours of such low oxygen.These findings, if they hold true in humans, suggest one could raise the level of oxygen ________ inside the body. This could help treat lung diseases and disorders such as anemia （贫血症）without injecting drugs, which make up a multibillion﹣dollar market, Johnson said.Athletes also often try to get more oxygen delivered to their muscles in order to improve their performance. They often do this by training at high altitudes or in low﹣oxygen tents. The new study suggests they might want to expose their skin as well as breathing in low﹣oxygen air to improve their performance. "It's hard to say what exactly might bedone, however﹣there's a lot we don't know yet, " Johnson explained.The scientists detailed their findings in the April 18 issue of the journal Cell.（1）Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage？________A. Johnson believes that Oxygen sensors also exist in human skin.B. People have to surf the Internet to read detailed findings.C. It has been proved that these findings help treat lung diseases.D. It has long been expected oxygen sensors exist in mice's skin.．（2）One of the functions of the molecules mentioned above is________.A. carrying oxygen around the bodyB. improving athletes' performanceC. detecting oxygenD. increasing level of oxygen．（3）What does the underlined word "circulating" in paragraph 8 most probably mean？________A. balancingB. growingC. movingD. gathering．（4）What is Johnson's attitude to the application of the findings to the athletes' training？________A. Negative.B. Doubting.C. Positive.D. Hesitating.．2. To learn to think is to learn to question. Those who don't question never truly think for themselves. These are simple rules that have governed the advancement of science and human thought since the beginning of time. Advancements are made when thinkers question theories（理论）and introduce new ones. Unfortunately, it is often the great and respected thinkers who end up slowing the progress of human thought. Aristotle was a brilliant philosopher whose theories explained much of the natural world, often incorrectly. He was so respected by the scientific community that even 1, 200 years after his death, scientists were still trying to build upon his mistakes rather than correct them!Brilliant minds can ________ up﹣and﹣coming thinkers who are not confident of their abilities. They often believe they are not as good as the minds of giants such asAristotle, leading many to accept current ideas instead of questioning them.I, like many thinkers of the past, once believed in my mental weakness. I was certain that my parents, my teachers﹣adults in general﹣were always right. They were like a textbook to me; I didn't question what was written on those pages. I respected them, and accepted whatever they told me. But that attitude soon changed. My mind's independence was first developed in the classroom.A stern, 65﹣year﹣old elementary﹣school science teacher once told me that light is a type of wave. I confidently went through years of school believing that light is a wave. One day, however, I heard the German exchange student mention that light could be made up of particles（粒子）. As the others laughed at his statement, I started to question my beliefs.Maybe the teachers and textbooks hadn't given me the whole story. I went to thelibrary, did some research and learned of the light﹣as﹣a﹣wave versus light﹣as﹣a﹣particle debate. I read about Einstein's discovery of the dual nature of light and learned the facts of a paradox（悖论） that puzzles the world's greatest thinkers to this day. Light behaves as both a particle and a wave, it is both at once. I realized I had gone through life accepting only half of the story as the whole truth.Each new year brought more new facts, and I formulated even more questions. I found myself in the library after school, trying to find my own answers to gain a more complete understanding of what I thought I already knew. I discovered that my parents and teachers are good tools in my quest for knowledge, but they are never the final word. Even textbooks can be challenged. I learned to question my sources, I learned to be a thinker. I once believed that everything I learned at home and at school was certain, but I have now discovered to re﹣examine when necessary.Questions are said to be the path to knowledge and truth, and I plan to continue questioning. How many things do we know for sure today that we will question in the future? At this moment, I know that our sun will burn for another five billion years, and I know nothing canescape the gravity of a black hole. This knowledge, however, may change in the next 20 years ﹣maybe even in the next two. The one thing we can control now is our openness to discovery. Questions are the tools of open minds, and open minds are the key to intellectual advancement.（1）In the first paragraph， Aristotle is taken as an example to show that________.A. he is the greatest and respected philosopher of all timeB. huge influence of great thinkers may stop human thought from developingC. advancements are made when thinkers question theoriesD. great thinkers often make mistakes and then correct them．（2）What does the underlined word "intimidate" in Paragraph 2 mean？________A. Frighten.B. Encourage.C. Strengthen.D. Persuade.．（3）The author began to question his previous beliefs because________.A. what he learned from textbooks before turned out to be wrongB. he was inspired by the different ideas from an exchange studentC. he was laughed at by other students for his unacceptable statementD. he was not satisfied with his life and desperate to achieve success．（4）According to the passage， the author________.A. looks down upon great thinkers all the timeB. never doubts what he has learned in the textbookC. always throws himself into the laboratoryD. is determined to be a thinker and questioner．（5）We can conclude from the last paragraph that________.A. the author is not quite sure about his futureB. we human beings don't dare to predict futureC. the theory of black holes will change in two yearsD. questioning is necessary to promote advancement．3. I'm one of seven children. My three sisters and I grew up in a small bedroom with two sets of beds. We shared a closet, a dresser, and just about everything else. Our bedroom always had stuff hanging about.①How about the life of only children? I looked longingly at their perfect dolls and toys placed carefully on their perfect shelves in their perfect little girl bedrooms. They had bathrooms to themselves. These little girls would come home to everything just perfect.②Looking back, I had to admit my "only children" friends had nice things. They had designer beds and beautiful bedrooms, but I always had someone to play with and talk to. Even if everyone else hated me, one of my sisters would not and that was all I needed.③Our house was the center of activity for the whole neighborhood. We had dance shows and baseball games in the street.④We had everything we ever needed because we had each other.I have come to realize that there are so many reasons that sisters make a difference to yourlife and I can give you a few here:They get you. Your sisters have grown up with you so they know the entire back story of your situation and everything leading to it. They may not agree with you all the time but they never wonder why you do what you do or say what you say.They have suffered with you through awful times. I know that when one of my sisters is unhappy, I am unhappy too. When some non﹣family member tries to hurt you, the claws of them will come out.They have cheered you on. Sisters do get jealous at times but, even so, they are happy that you are doing well. They ________ at your new bonus as long as you take them out for drinks and foods!They are on the same diet as you. We are women in a world where thinness is equal to beauty. No matter how unjust this is, we are always on a diet. There is nothing like a sister calling and complaining about how she wants an ice cream and can't ever have one again.They are aging at the same rate as you. As we get older, we change, and however miserable this can be, it is heartening to know that someone shares your misery.
