According to scientists like Amy Williams, if you sit for many hours every day, you might have health problems Companies have been designing special standing desks. Some people even exercise while working at an "exercise desk". Not everyone likes these new desks. People who wear high heels or fancy suits to work don't like them. They think it isn't a good idea to stand all day in their professional clothing.Some managers are concerned it may look funny to customers. Others have trouble working on difficult projects unless they are sitting down. Standing desks are also expensive. Lisa Brown of Strong International Trading Company agrees: "What a waste of money! If I need to move at work, I take a break and go for a walk. " Yet another worker at Strong, a man named James Ryan, states, "Since I put in my standing desk, I have more energy and I can get more done at work. "。

Strength．B. Exactness．C. Speed．D. Carefulness．19.What can be inferred from the author's example of the Norwegian stuntman？______A. Sometimes an accident can occur to a stuntman．B. The percentage of serious accidents is high．C. Parachutes must be of good quality．D. The cliff is too high．BThe iPhone the iPad：each of Apple's products sounds cool and has become a fad（一时的风尚）．Apple has cleverly taken advantage of the power of the letter "i"-and many other brands are following suit．The BBC's iPlayer-which allows Web users to watch TV programs on the Internet-used the title in 2008．A lovely bear-popular in the US and UK一that plays music and vide is called "iTeddy"．A slimmed-down version（简装本）of London's Independent newspaper was stated last week under the name "i"．In general，single-letter prefixes（前缀）have been popular since the 1990s，when terms such as e-mail and e-commerce first came into use．Most "i" products are targeted at young people and considering the major readers of Independent's "i"，it's no surprise that they've selected this fashionable name．But it's hard to see what's so special about the letter "i" Why not use "a"，"b"，or "c" instead？According to Tony Thorne，head of the Language Center at King's College，London，"i"works because its meaning has becomc ambiguous．When Apple uses "i"，no one knows whether it means Internet，information，individual or intcractive，Thorne told BBC Magazines．"Even when Apple created the iPod，it seems it didn't have one clear definition，" he says．"However，thanks to Apple，the term is now connected with portability．" adds Thorne．Clearly the letter "i" also agrees with the idea that the Western World is centered on the individual．Each person believes they have their own needs，and we love personalized products for this reason．Along with"Google" and "blog"，readers of BBC Magazines voted"i"as one of the top 20 words that have come to define the last decade．But as history shows，people grow tired of fads．From the 1900s to 1990s，products with "2000" in their names became fashionable as the year was connected with all things advanced and modern．How ever，as we entered the new century，the fashion disappeared．20.People use iPlayer to ______ ．A. listen to musicB. make a callC. watch TV programs onlineD. read newspapers21.We can infer that the Independent's "i" is designed for ______ ．A. young readersB. old readersC. fashionable womenD. engineers22.The underlined word "ambiguous" means " ______ ．"A. popularB. uncertainC. clearD. unique23.The writer suggests that ______ ．A. "i" products are often of high qualityB. iTeddy is a live bearC. the letter "b" replaces letter "i" to name the productsD. the popularity of "i" products may not last longCZoe Chambers was a successful PR （Public Relations）consultant （顾问）and life was going well-she had a great job，a beautiful flat and a busy social life in London．Then one evening in June last year，she received a text message telling her she was out of work．The first two weeks were the most difficult to live through．" she said．"After everything I'd done for thecompany，they dismissed me by text!I was So angry and I just didn't feel like looking for another job．I hated everything about the city and my life．"Then，Zoe received an invitation from an old school friend，Kathy，to come and stay．Kathy and her husband，Huw，had just bought a farm in north-west Wales．Zoe jumped at the chance to spend a weekend away from London，and now，ten months later，she is still on the farm．"The moment I arrived at Kathy's farm，I loved it and I knew I wanted to stay．" said Zoe．" Everything aboutmy past life suddenly seemed meaningless．"Zoe has been working on the farm since October of last year and says she has no regrets．"It's a hard life，physically very tiring．" she says．"In London I was stressed and often mentally exhausted．But this is a good，healthy tiredness．Here，all I need to put me in a good mood is a hot bath and one of Kathy's wonderful dinners．"Zoe says she has never felt bored on the farm．Every day brings a new experience．Kathy has been teaching her how to ride a horse and she has learnt to drive a tractor．Since Christmas，she has been helping with the lambing--watching a lamb being born is unbelievable，she says，"It's one of the most moving experiences I've ever had．I could never go back to city life now．"24.When working as a PR consultant in London，Zoe thought she lived a ______ life．A. satisfyingB. toughC. meaninglessD. boring25.The most important reason why Zoe went to visit Kathy's farm is that ______ ．A. Zoe lost her job as a PR consultantB. Kathy persuaded her to do soC. Zoe got tired of the city lifeD. Zoe loved Wales mare than London26.How does Zoe feel about the country life according to the passage？______A. Tiresome and troublesome．B. Romantic and peacefulC. Mentally exhausting but healthyD. Physically tiring but rewarding．27.Which of the following is closest to the main idea of the passage？______A. A friend in need is a friend indeed．B. Where there is a will，there is a way．C. A misfortune may turn out a blessing．D. Kill two birds with one stone．DMy grandfather came from Hungary and was the only one in his family who settled down in the United States．The rest of his family remained in Europe．When World War I broke out，he seemed to have become another man，downhearted．Such obvious change was not born out of concern for his welfare，but out of fear：if his only son，my uncle，had to go to war，it would be cousin fighting against cousin．One day in 1918，my Uncle Milton received his draft notice．My grandparents were very upset．But my mother，at the age of 10，felt on top of the world about her soldier brother going off of war．Realizing how he was regarded by his little sister and all of her friends，my uncle bought them all service pins，which meant that they had a loved one in the service．All the little girls were delighted．The moment came when my uncle and the other soldiers，without any training but all inuniforms，boarded the train．"The band played and the crowd cheered．Although no one noticed，I'm sure my grandmother had a tear in her eye for the only son．The train slowly pulled out，but not about a thousand yards when it suddenly paused．Everyone stared in wonder as the train slowly returned to the station．There was a dead silence before the doors opened and the men started to step out．Someone shouted，"The war is over!"For a moment，nobody moved，but then the people heard someone bark orders at the soldiers．The men lined up in two lines，walked down the steps，and with the band playing，marched down the street，as returning heroes，to be welcomed home．My mother said it was a great day，but she was just a little disappointed that it didn't last a tiny bit longer．28.What the grandfather was most worried about was ______ ．A. the spread of the world warB. the safety of his two cousinsC. a drop in his living standardsD. his relatives killing each other29..

According to scientists like Amy Williams, if you sit for many hours every day, you might have health problems Companies have been designing special standing desks. Some people even exercise while working at an "exercise desk". Not everyone likes these new desks. People who wear high heels or fancy suits to work don't like them. They think it isn't a good idea to stand all day in their professional clothing.Some managers are concerned it may look funny to customers. Others have trouble working on difficult projects unless they are sitting down. Standing desks are also expensive. Lisa Brown of Strong International Trading Company agrees: "What a waste of money! If I need to move at work, I take a break and go for a walk. " Yet another worker at Strong, a man named James Ryan, states, "Since I put in my standing desk, I have more energy and I can get more done at work. "。

I realized I was standing on their shoulders. It was all their hard work, the endless house chores and their toughness that had brought me to this moment.My grandmother Aspasia loved to tell us stories of her first years at elementary school on the small island of Chios, Greece: the songs she learned, her handwriting and her good marks. All this changed in Grade 4 when the family sent her to a local embroideress（刺绣女工）to learn the trade. And after she got married at 23, she had to abandon her needlepoint and devoted the rest of her life to her family, raising four children.My mother Poppy was able to finish high school on Chios. She was an excellent student, and her parents encouraged her to pursue her dream of becoming a teacher. Unfortunately, the Greek civil war clipped her wings. She ended up marrying and looking after her family.As I grew up on Chios, my mother always urged me to get the university education that she was deprived（剥夺）of. When I started going to school, all I ever had to say to escape house chores was that I needed to study. Sometimes I wanted to help her out with cooking Or baking, but my mother would say, “No. Go back to your homework! That is your main job. That takes priority（优先处理的事）!”On my university graduation, my mother presented me with my grandma’s special pendant. My heart overflowed with gratitude. I took my mother’s hands in mine and kissed them. “Thank you ... for everything!”Months after my university graduation, I got a scholarship to pursue graduate studies in Ancient Classics in England.One night, my grandmother appeared in my dreams standing at the doorway of myStudent room. She told me how proud she was that I was following my dream of education, one that was denied to the previous generations of our family’s women. “You have come a long way!” she said.36．What can be inferred about the author’s university education?A．It meant the realization of her parents’ college dreams.B．It brought pride to her family and herself.C．It was her dream since she was a child.D．It was paid for by her grandmother.37．What do we know about the author’s mother and grandmother?A．They both gave up their education because of war.B．They regretted not having studied harder at school.C．They had to focus on their families when they were young.D．They struggled with financial problems throughout their lives.38．The author’s mother supported her education by ________.A．insisting on the author doing household choresB．encouraging the author to prioritize her studiesC．sending her to a local place to learn embroideryD．pushing the author to pursue a career in teaching39．How did the author feel when her mother presented her with the pendant?A．Disappointed and angry.B．Grateful and overjoyed.C．Excited and anxious.D．Ashamed and guilty.40．What does this passage mainly talk about?A．Women in the author’s family passing down the golden butterfly pendant.B．The author’s journey in learning embroidery on Chios, Greece.C．The author’s experience in receiving traditional education.D．Women in the author’s family struggling for education.McCormick Place in Chicago, the largest convention center (会议中心) in North America, is covered in glass that is enjoyable for humans but deadly for birds. On Oct 5, over 1,000 migrating birds died from colliding with (相撞) its glass walls in a single day.According to data from Cornell University, the number of birds killed there during that one night is roughly equal to the typical yearly bird collision deaths at the building.One key reason for the accident is the glass. During the day, birds fly toward glass as it reflects a perfect image of the sky and nearby trees. As night falls, the bright light from glass buildings attracts birds who fly according to the location of the moon and stars. The recent collision happened on the night of Oct 5, when the lights in the building were on for an event.After colliding with a building, many birds will die on the spot from a broken skull. Others may continue to fly for some distance, but they rarely survive for more than a few hours, as Brendon Samuels, who researches bird window collisions at the University of Western Ontario, Canada, told The Guardian.Every year, nearly one billion birds collide with glass in the US, according to the US Fish and Wildlife Service. In China, bird collisions are not uncommon, either. In the autumn of 2022 and spring of 2023, the National Anti-bird Collisions Action Alliance reported a total of 190 cases of bird collisions, which included several types of birds listed as second-class protected wildlife.These tragedies (悲剧) could have been avoided if appropriate (合适的) measures had been taken. Many places around the world have already put forward bird-related guidelines on building design. These include reducing the use of glass in building walls and applying bird-friendly materials and visual markers (视觉标记) to the buildings’ walls.

Before they left, they asked me for advice about how to find accommodation. I suggested that they should stay at “bed and breakfast” houses, because this kind of accommodation gives a foreign visitor a good chance to speak English with the family. My friends listened to my advice, but they came back with some funny stories.“We didn’t stay at “bed and breakfast” houses,” they said, “because we found that most families were away on holiday.”I thought this was strange. Finally I understood what had happened. My friends spoke little English, and they thought “V ACANCIES” meant “holidays”, because the Spanish word for “holidays” is “vacaciones”. So they did not go to house where the sign outside said “V ACANCIES”, which in English means there are free rooms. Then my friends went to house where the sign said “NO V ACANCIES”, because they thought this meant the people who owned the house were not away on holiday. But they found that these houses were all full. As a result, they stayed at hotels!We laughed about this and about mistakes my friends made in reading other signs. In Spanish, the word “DIVERSION” means fun. In English, it means that workmen are repairing the road, and that you must take a different road. When my friends saw the word “DIVERSION” on a road sign, they thought they were going to have fun. Instead, the road ended in a large hole.English people have problems too when they learn foreign languages. Once in Paris,when someone offered me some more coffee, I said “Thank you” in French. I meant that I would like some more. However, to my surprise, the coffeepot was taken away! Later I found out that “Thank you” in French means “No, thank you.”41．The writer’s friends in Spain wanted to get advice about ________.A．the chance of learning English B．the way of going to EnglandC．the traffic rules in England D．finding places to stay in England 42．The writer suggested that they stay at “bed and breakfast" houses because A．it would be convenient for them to have dinnerB．it would be much cheaper than staying in hotelsC．they would be able to practise their EnglishD．there would be no problem about finding accommodation there43．The writer’s friends stayed at hotels at last because ________.A．they misunderstood the signs outside the doorB．there were no such “bed and breakfast” houses in EnglandC．they found there were no free rooms thereD．people there were away on holiday44．If you see a road sign that says “DIVERSION” in England, you will ________.A．fall into a holeB．have to take a different roadC．find that the road is stopped by lots of peopleD．have a lot of fun and enjoy yourself45．When a Frenchman is offered more coffee and he says “Thank you”, he really means________.A．he doesn’t want any more coffeeB．he wants to show his amazementC．he just wants to show his politenessD．he wants to have some more coffeeIn the mornings, as I walked from the train station to the office, I planned my day by making a to-do list in my head: the scientific articles I would read, the data sets I would analyze, and most urgent of all — the insights into human nature that it was my job to discover.Each evening, I went back to the station, again going through my mental checklist but this time sizing up my performance against the expectations Td set for myself that morning. Time and again, when comparing my to-do list with my got-done list, I felt frustrated because I had fallen short.But one day, something very strange happened. During my trip home, without any conscious intention, my thoughts began to change. Instead of feeling bad about my weaknesses, I said aloud very softly: I’m a nice person. I’m a nice person. I’m a nice person. By the time I boarded my train, I was done with my little chant-until the next day when I walked home. And again, after counting my failures, I found myself saying quietly: I’m a nice person. It turns out that there’s a technical term for this practice: values affirmation (肯定). And what it emphasizes is recognizing and strengthening the personal values you hold most dear.When you affirm a core personal value, you raise your sense of self-worth. You broaden your outlook:Instead of focusing on your shortfalls, you switch to a wide-angle view that includes your resources and opportunities. And the people who do this are happier, healthier, and more hopeful. Over time, I made progress in my research and learned a lot about what makes most successful people special, including this: Nobody has passion and determination unless what they do lines up with their values. Try values affirmation for yourself and teach the practice to your students.Take a moment and think of a value you hold dear, whether it’s kindness, creativity, or gratitude. Whatever it is, name it. And then say to yourself: Come what may, I know who I am. Your values are your foundation and your compass, too. Trust them, and they will lead you home.46．How did the author feel when comparing his to-do list with his got-done list at the beginning?A．Satisfied.B．Pleased.C．Disappointed D．Unconcerned. 47．What does the underlined phrase sizing up mean in Paragraph 2?A．Changing.B．Forming.C．Denying.D．Judging. 48．The author affirmed his values by ________.A．strengthening a core personal value to himself B．counting his failuresC．talking aloud to himself on his way home D．chanting with conscious intention 49．What does values affirmation mean to people?A．It changes people’s focus to their shortcomings.B．It improves their sense of self-worth.C．It limits their resources and opportunities.D．It makes them more critical of themselves.50．What’s the author’s suggestion to readers?A．To constantly compare oneself to others.B．To improve one’s kindness, creativity and gratitude.C．To highlight values affirmation and spread the practice.D．To become successful with passion.阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。

Ricky lived in a house which had everything you could ever want. Though he didn’t help much around the house, Ricky was pleased when his parents bought home the latest model of robot. As soon as it arrived, it went off cooking, cleaning, and gathering up old clothes from Ricky’s bedroom floor, which Ricky didn’t like having to walk on. On that first day, when Ricky went to sleep, he left his bedroom in a truly bad state（状态）. When he woke up the next morning, everything was perfectly clean and tidy.In fact, it was actually “too” clean; now Ricky couldn’t find his favorite T-shirt and his favorite toy. However much he searched, the two items did not reappear, and the same was starting to happen with other things. Ricky cast a suspicious (怀疑的) eye on the robot. He began following it around the house. Finally he caught it red-handed, picking up one of Ricky’s toys to hide it.He went off, running to his parents, to tell them that the robot was broken and badly programmed. Ricky asked them to have it changed. But his parents told him absolutely not. They needed the robot very much.One day, the robot heard the boy’s complaints. The robot returned with one of the boy’s toys and some clothes for him. “Here, sir. I did not know it was bothering you,” said the robot, “The objects were left on the floor. I therefore figured that you did not like them. I am programmed to collect all that is not wanted, and at night I send it to places where other humans can use it.”Ricky started feeling ashamed. He had spent all his life treating things as if they were useless. Yet it was true that many other people would be delighted to treat those things with all the care in the world. Since then, Ricky had put real care into how he treated his things. And often, he would buy things, and take them along with his good friend, the robot, to help out those other people who needed them.【题1】The story tries to tell us________.A．to use a robot at homeB．to treat others politelyC．to look after our own thingsD．to give away things to the charity【题2】The robot’s task was to ________.A．help do houseworkB．teach Ricky a lessonC．wash Ricky’s clothesD．get rid of the useless things【题3】What was Ricky’s bad habit?A．He never cared for others.B．He got up late every morning.C．He never listened to his parents.D．He always threw his things about.【题4】The robot hid Ricky’s things because ________.
