Life on the FarmLife on a farm is always changing. New technologies and a rising interest in healthier and organic eating have had a huge impact on how farms do business. At the same time, a growing population has put more demands on farmers. They need to find ways to increase their production levels. The small family farms that used to produce most of the products have been largely replaced by factory farms. Small family farms that are still operating are struggling to keep up.Technology has made most aspects of farm life easier than it has ever been before. Bigger and more efficient equipment makes work such as plowing up fields and sowing the seeds easier. Such tasks used to take two or three times as long. These advances have allowed farmers to work faster and more efficiently than ever before.In addition to newer technology, factory farms produce more products for less money than traditional farming would require.Modern farm life, despite the introduction of new technologies, has not changed much from what has always been. Farmers still wake up early, and spend their days doing hard work. There are animals to feed, cows to be milked, and fields to be plowed. Farm still requires a lot of hard work and sacrifice.The main change in modern farm life is still in the way farms are run. It is common for even small farms to have several hired workers and even an animal manager. Family-run farms are becoming rarer. Factory farms, with other larger farm corporations, are becoming the norm. Although there are still many traditional family farms, they are quickly dying as modern practices change farm life forever.1.Factory farms now produce most of the productsA.TrueB. FalseC.

It was always hard to choose a good Christmas present for them. They didn’t need much, and it was hard for her to be creative every year.One year, she sent a big wooden elephant. It sat on the counter for a year, but then it disappeared, probably into a closet somewhere. Another year, she made handmade soaps with nice smells, but they probably weren’t any better than store-bought soaps. Last year, she sent lots of nice pictures of herself in frames, but grandparents’ house was small, and they couldn’t hang up very many.This year, she decided on fruit. She lived where it was warm and there was lots of nice fruit. Her grandparents lived up north, where it was colder and they couldn’t get fresh fruit all year, or at least not oranges and grapefruit. Fresh fruit was healthy for her grandparents, too.Mary went to a fruit store and sampled the red oranges. She really liked them and bought a kilogram. Then she tried three kinds of grapefruit. The white ones were sour. The star grapefruit were interesting, but the dark red grapefruit were great. So she got a kilogram.Mary carefully packed the fruit in a box to keep them safe and dry in case one got smashed and its juice got everywhere. Then she wrote the address on the box andmailed it from the store. She felt happy with what she bought. A few days later, Mary got a phone call from her grandparents, thanking her for the lovely fruit. They said it was a healthy, tasty, and very thoughtful gift. Mary had never felt so good before.11.Mary was troubled because she ___________.A.had no idea for a holiday giftB. was not creative in her workC. could not afford Christmas giftsD. found her grandma hard to please.12.

As chief engineer, I oversee thedesign and construction of rides at Six Flags parks all over the world. In North America alone,there are more than 1,000 rides in these parks, including 157 roller coasters. Right now, ourengineers are designing the tallest, fastest and longest rollercoaster t hat has ever been built. It’scalled Falcon’s Flight. It’ll be the main attraction at Six Flags in Saudi Arabia. My job involvescreativity and problem-solving. For instance, I wanted to make roller coasters accessible to peoplewith disabilities. So I worked with engineers to install a system that would make the rides inclusive.I often walk around the Six Flags Great Adventure Park in Jackson Township, New Jersey. That’swhere my office is. I like to observe visitors and figure out what makes a ride fun for them.英语试卷参考答案第4页（共4页）2023年4月高中毕业班第三次联合调研考试英语2023.04注意事项：1．答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。

英语写作 2018 年 4 月试题真题及答案（00603）1、HappinessWhat makes a person happy? If people want to be happy, should they seek money and professional success? Many experts are trying to find out the obstacles to happiness and the ways to overcome them. The strategies they have offered are simple yet effective: to be true to oneself, avoid comparison with others financially, and welcome laws and rules that increase the general happiness of the population.One of the chief obstacles to happiness is being untrue to one’s real desire. Researchers have found that people who follow their authentic desires generally report being happier than those who do not. At its core, authenticity implies discovering and pursuing what people care about most. Take Linda's choice of career as an example. She found herself caught in the middle between her own dream of being a navigator and following her parents' advice of becoming a teacher. Her compromise to family expectations and social traditions has caused her lifelong regret. Therefore, people need to be true to themselves to increase the sense of personal happiness.Finally, people often benefit from some laws and social rules, which may even cost money, like paying taxes. People need to realize that some taxes can make the public happier, because they improve the overall quality of life. In one study of cigarette taxes, researchers conclude that “taxes may affect the happiness of former smokers (by making it easier to resist the temptation to resume smoking) or would-be smokers (by making it easier to never start smoking).” This example demonstrates how social rules can lead to the general happiness of its population, even through the apparently negative practice of increased taxation. Taxes also contribute to the funds available for other social purposes. This further proves the need for taxation.These are merely three ways that scholars of happiness studies have recommended to help enhance personal happiness. People should seek to live as their authentic selves in their personal and professional lives. They should avoid social comparison and live within their means. Furthermore, they should welcome any practice that increases the general happiness of the population. Everyone says they want to be happy, and happiness studies may help people learn how to lead happier lives rather than to passively expect happiness to find them.问题内容：试题答案：Comparison with others financially can also be a chief obstacle to happiness. When people compare themselves with others, they prefer to see themselves as in some way superior. In an experiment, social scientists asked whether people would prefer earning $50,000 per year while their peers earned $25,000, or whether they would prefer earning $100,000 while their peers averaged $250,000 annually. Although people would earn more in the latter scenario, most chose the former, as they wished to see themselves as more successful than others. Thus, a simple way to increase happiness is for people to reject the urge to compare themselves with others based on their financial situations.【评分参考】1、本部分满分 20 分，按四个档次给分。

2018年4月高等教育自学考试全国统一命题考试英语（二）试卷(课程代码00015)第一部分、阅读判断（第1〜10题，每瓸1分，共10分）Life on the FarmLife on a farm is always changing. New technologies and a rising interest in healthier and organic eating have had a huge impact on how farms do business. At the same time, a growing population has put more demands on farmers. They need to find ways to increase their production levels. The small family farms that used to produce most of the products have been largely replaced by factory farms. Small family farms that are still operating are struggling to keep up.Technology has made most aspects of farm life easier than it has ever been before. Bigger and most efficient equipment makes work such as plowing up fields and sowing the seeds easier. Such task s used to take two or three times as long. These advances have allowed farmers to work faster and more efficiently than ever before.In addition to newer technology, factory farms produce more products for less money than traditional farming would require.Modern farm life, despite the introduction of new technologies, has not changed much from what it has always been. Farmers still wake up early, and spend their days doing hard work. There are still animals to feed, cows to be milked, and fields to be plowed. Farm life still requires a lot of hard work and sacrifice.The main change in modem farm life is in the way farms are run. It is common for even small farms to have several hired workers and even an animal manager. Family-run farms are becoming rarer. Factory farms, with other larger farm corporations, are becoming the norm . Although there are still many traditional family farms, they are quickly dying as modern practices change farm life forever.1. Factory farms now produce most of the products.A. TrueB. FalseC. Not Given2. Farmers prefer to grow healthy and organic food.A. TrueB. FalseC. Not Given3. Small family farms find it hard to survive.A. TrueB. FalseC. Not Given4.

Another year, she made handmade soaps with nice smells, but they probably weren’t any better than store-bought soaps. Last year, she sent lots of nice pictures of herself in frames, but grandparents’ house was small, and they couldn’t hang up very many.This year, she decided on fruit. She lived where it was warm and there was lots of nice fruit. Her grandparents lived up north, where it was colder and they couldn’t get fresh fruit all year, or at least not oranges and grapefruit. Fresh fruit was healthy for her grandparents, too.Mary went to a fruit store and sampled the red oranges. She really liked them and bought a kilogram. Then she tried three kinds of grapefruit. The white ones were sour. The star grapefruit were interesting,but the dark red grapefruit were great. So she got a kilogram.Mary carefully packed the fruit in a box to keep them safe and dry in case one got smashed and its juice got everywhere. Then she wrote the address on the box and mailed it from the store.

Learning to coopera te with others towards a common goal in sports is what builds character, friendship and important life skills for players.②Working towards a common goal will keep the team firmly together. Entering into a new season in sports, you might only know a few of the players on your team. Some of the players may be people you do not like. But when your team decides to be the winner of the season, personal differences are often setaside for the common good of the team. By the end of the season, players who ha ve fought through the whole season may become good friends, much like brothers.③ For kids and young adults, team sports offer a way for them to get out and meet with friends. This can help them avoid spending too much time at home watching television and playing video games. Team work teaches people how to help each other and encourage each other. It can also give players a greater respect for one another and can build friendships that last a lifetime.④Team work in sports offers a way for people to compete for something together. It is important to know that winning is not everything in sports and healthy competition can be good for people. Working towards a goal can teach people the value of hard work, commitment and devotion. Team sports are a great way to learn these values.⑤ Team work in sports can help young people develop stronger communication skills. As every member must work for the same goal, they learn how to work with one another successfully.Task 116 Paragraph①17、Paragraph②18、Paragraph③19、Paragraph④20、Paragraph⑤A、The common goalB、Healthy competitionC、Team cooperationD、Exercising and friendshipE、Problems between team membersF、Building communication skillsTask 221、Cooperation in team sports helps build .A、set a goal22、When your team decides to win the season, B、characteryou set aside .

AThe Essence of Cantonese Morning Tea: A Journey Through Guangzhou's Tea Houses Welcome to Guangzhou, the heart of the Cantonese culinary world. Experience the city's vibrant culture through the lens of its traditional morning tea, a ritual that is as much about the community as it is about the cuisine. Savor the flavors of Guangzhou as you indulge in the leisurely pace of a morning spent in one of its renowned tea houses.Why Guangzhou's Tea HousesGuangzhou's tea houses have been an integral part of the city's social fabric for centuries.

However, it wasn't until her first visit to China that she truly began to appreciate the depth of Chinese culture. One particular experience stood out: her first encounter with the art of Chinese tea.Lily had grown up with the aroma of tea wafting through her home, a legacy of her mother's Chinese roots. Yet, it was in the ancient teahouses of Hangzhou that she discovered the soul of Chinese tea culture. There, amidst the gentle rustle of bamboo and the soft murmur of conversation, she observed the ritualistic preparation of tea, a process as natural as the flow of the streams she had once explored in the English countryside.Her mother, a connoisseur of Chinese teas, introduced Lily to the subtleties of tasting. Why do certain leaves unfurl to reveal hidden flavors? Which infusions can evoke the essence of a mountain mist or a summer breeze? With each sip, Lily felt a connection to her ancestral home, a bond that transcended language and tradition.The journey of tea from leaf to cup became a metaphor for Lily's own journey of self-discovery. She decided to embark on a quest to understand the art of tea, to learn how the Chinese have cultivated and cherished this ancient beverage for centuries. She would later refer to this pursuit as her "cultural eco-journey."The task Lily set for herself was to immerse herself in the tea culture, to experience firsthand the process from tea picking to brewing. First, she visited the lush tea gardens of Longjing, where she learned about the meticulous care required for each leaf. Then she traveled to the workshops where artisans crafted the tea, each step a testament to the harmony between human skill and natural bounty.She was captivated by the results. The tea she tasted was not just a drink; it was a story, a history, and a tradition that had been passed down through generations. Within moments, the flavors unfolded on her palate, a testament to the purity and wisdom of Chinese tea culture.Over time, Lily has delved deeper into the world of tea. She has explored the tea ceremonies of various regions, each with its unique customs and significance. She also discovered the therapeutic properties of tea, how it has been used in traditional Chinese medicine to promote health andwell-being."Cultural immersion" is what Lily calls her approach to understanding her heritage. "The world is a treasure trove of experiences for the curious," she says. "You immerse yourself in new cultures and observe the traditions. Then you let these new insights shape your own understanding of the world."4.What can we learn about Lily from the first two paragraphs?A. She was curious about her dual heritage.B. She preferred the British lifestyle.C. She had a deep interest in tea.D. She longed to visit China.5.Why did Lily visit the tea gardens and workshops?A. To learn about the tea-making process.B. To find the perfect cup of tea.C. To understand the cultural significance of tea.D. To test her knowledge of Chinese tea.6.What is the author's purpose in mentioning Longjing?A. To review Lily's cultural journey.B. To show an application of Lily's interest in tea.C. To compare different tea regions in China.D. To dispel doubts about the quality of Chinese tea.7.What is the basis for Lily's cultural exploration?A. The desire to connect with her Chinese roots.B. The belief in the therapeutic properties of tea.C. The fascination with the art of tea preparation.D. The curiosity about the cultural significance of tea.CThe goal of this book is to make the case for Chinese fashion minimalism, including a detailed exploration of what it entails and why it resonates, and then to guide you on how to adopt this aesthetic if you decide it's the right path for you.To achieve this, I have divided the book into two parts. In part one, I delve into the philosophicalunderpinnings of Chinese fashion minimalism, beginning with an examination of the cultural forces that have shaped the traditional Chinese sartorial experience, before moving on to a detailed discussion of the principles of Chinese fashion minimalism.Part one culminates with an introduction to my recommended approach for embracing this aesthetic: the sartorial declutter. This process involves stepping away from non-essential fashion choices for a set period. At the end of this period, you will reintroduce a select few clothing items and accessories that you believe will significantly enhance your personal style and cultural identity.In the final chapter of part one, I will guide you through conducting your own sartorial declutter. I will draw on an experiment I conducted in 2018, where over 1,600 individuals participated in a cultural wardrobe cleanse. You will hear their stories, learn which strategies were effective, and be warned of the pitfalls to avoid.The second part of this book takes a deeper look at concepts that will help you cultivate a sustainable minimalist Chinese fashion lifestyle. In these chapters, I explore the significance of traditional craftsmanship and the importance of nurturing high-quality cultural experiences to replace the time often spent on superficial fashion trends. Each chapter concludes with a set of practices designed to help you implement the chapter's key ideas. Consider these practices as a toolkit to assist you in constructing a minimalist wardrobe that suits your unique cultural context.8.What is the book aimed at?A. Teaching traditional Chinese fashion skills.B. Advocating a minimalist Chinese fashion lifestyle.C. Solving cultural fashion dilemmas.D. Promoting the purchase of traditional Chinese garments.9.What does the underlined word "declutter" in paragraph 3 mean?A. Streamline.B. Accumulate.C. Inventory.D. Dominate.10.What is presented in the final chapter of part one?A. Cultural narratives.B. Quantitative fashion trends.C. Practical wardrobe examples.D. Historical costume analyses.11.What does the author suggest readers do with the practices offered in part two?A. Apply them as needed.B. Share them with the community.C. Assess their cultural impact.D. Recognize the traditional values they represent.DThe film "Catch the Doll" is a poignant and thought-provoking work that, on the surface, delivers the signature humor of the Happy Twist team, but underneath, it presents a cruel allegory that resonates deeply with the audience. Here are my impressions of the movie, articulated in English: "Catch the Doll" is a masterful blend of comedy and tragedy, a film that starts with laughter but ends with a profound reflection on life's ironies. The movie, starring the iconic duo Shen Teng and Ma Li, is akin to a sugar-coated shell that initially offers the sweet taste of humor but gradually reveals the bitter pill of social satire and a probing examination of human nature.The film's narrative is a stark portrayal of the extreme pressures and expectations placed on children by their parents. Shen Teng's character, Ma Chenggang, a wealthy businessman, and his wife,the point of deception and manipulation, to ensure their son's success. Their approach to parenting is chilling, turning the concept of a nurturing home into a prison of expectations and control.The movie cleverly uses exaggeration to highlight the absurdity of such an extreme parenting style. Ma Chenggang's belief in the necessity of hardship for his son's growth is a twisted interpretation of the saying, "Heaven will confer a great responsibility on a person, it will first exercise his mind with suffering, and his sinews and bones with toil.""Catch the Doll" also invites us to consider the broader implications of such behavior. It raises questions about the value of individual freedom and the right of children to have their own dreams and aspirations, rather than being mere tools to fulfill parental ambitions. The film serves as a mirror, reflecting the often-overlooked issues of excessive expectations, out-of-control education, and the disregard for personal value in modern society.In the end, "Catch the Doll" is not just a comedy; it's a social commentary that provokes deep thought and self-reflection. It's a film that, despite its humorous facade, leaves a lasting impact, urging viewers to question the nature of love, control, and the true meaning of success. The movie's ending, which is both happy and tinged with regret, encapsulates the complex emotions that it stirs within us, reminding us that often, we spend our lives trying to heal the wounds of our childhood.12.What is the central theme of the film "Catch the Doll"?A. The importance of parental guidance in children's success.B. The balance between humor and social issues in filmmaking.C. The paradoxical nature of extreme parenting and its impact on children.D. The journey of a child's pursuit of happiness and success.13.In the film, the character Ma Chenggang's parenting style is depicted as:A. Encouraging and supportive of his son's personal aspirations.B. Strict but ultimately beneficial for his son's character development.C. Excessive and potentially damaging to his son's well-being.D. Indifferent and neglectful of his son's emotional needs.14.The film "Catch the Doll" uses the character of Ma Chenggang to:A. Critique the societal pressure on children to succeed academically.B. Advocate for a more lenient approach to parenting.C. Illustrate the potential consequences of extreme parental control.D. Demonstrate the effectiveness of traditional parenting methods.15.The author's tone in discussing the film "Catch the Doll" can be best described as:A. Critical and disapproving of the depicted parenting methods.B. Neutral, simply presenting the film's narrative without bias.C. Admiring and appreciative of the film's social commentary.D. Skeptical, questioning the effectiveness of the film's message.二、阅读七选五：本大题共5小题，共12.5分。

AAre you looking forward to watching some great films in this summer？Here are four films you won’t miss.Wonder WomanWonder Woman is this summer’s most exciting film. Though being a superhero film, it is the most unique: you will see the first female superhero starred by Gal Gadot. On general release from 1 June.The MummyTom Cruise awakens an ancient princess who has now become a mummy. Cruise jumps from the sky, runs around a lot and wakes up naked in a sleeping bag –but it’s Sofia Boutella as the Mummy who draws the most attention. Director Alex Kurtzman speaks highly of Sofia Boutella as the Mummy: “If you look at her eyes, there's a whole performance going on here. Even not saying anything, she can convey something very emotional to me.”On general release from 8 June.Baby DriverAnsel Elgort is a getaway driver, who is forced to work for a crime boss. This is a comedy-action-romance from British writer-director Edgar Wright. The sound in the film is as great as the visuals, which makes it much like a musical, but it is quite different from La La Land. Baby Driver isn’t just a series of song pieces. Instead, it finds its form in the elegant, rapid-fire combination of movement and sound. Released 28 June in Canada and the US.A Man Called OveThis film has become one of Sweden’s most popular comedies. In the film a lonely retiree who has given up on life, was trying to kill himself, but all his attempts failed. Meanwhile, hedeveloped an unlikely friendship with his Persian neighbor. It is really a tearjerker (赚人热泪的) film, which is funny, tragic, and heartwarming as well. Released 25 May in Hong Kong, 30 June in the UK.21. If you are a big fan of Batman and Superman, which film will you like best?A. Wonder WomanB. The MummyC. Baby DriverD. A Man Called Ove22. Alex Kurtzman speaks highly of Sofia Boutella because________.A. her eyes are very beautifulB. she doesn’t say anything as the mummy in the filmC. she gives an excellent performanceD. she is a woman with strong emotions23. Which of the following statements is right according to the text?A. Wonder woman is the first female superhero.B. Sofia Boutella performs as well as Tom Cruise.C. Baby Driver is a musical like La la Land.D. The audience of A Man Called Ove may experience different feelings.BWhen I was a boy there were no smart phones, and our television only got one channel clearly. Still, I was never bored. The fields, hills, and woodlands around my home were the perfect playground. I can remember once hiking to a nearby lake. At the backside of it I was amazed to find an old dirt road that I had never seen before. It was full of muddy tracks and deep woods bordered it on both sides, but exploring it still seemed like a fine adventure.I walked on and on for hours. I was sure my guardian angel was whispering in my ear “turn around and head back home”, but I was stubborn, so I walked on. There was still neither a car nor a house in sight. I noticed that the sun was starting to go down and I grew scared. I didn’t want to end up trapped on this road, and I was worried that it would be dark before I could make my way back to the lake again.I continued to walk on with something growing inside of me. My heart was pounding and my legs were aching. I was almost in tears when I turned one last curve and saw something in the distance. It was a house that I recognized. I jumped up and down and laughed out loud. It was still over a mile away but my legs felt like feathers and I hurried back to my house in no time. I walked in with a big smile on my face just in time for dinner.I remembered this recently when I saw a sign that said: “All roads lead home.”It is true. In this life, all roads, no matter how they twist and turn, can lead us home again. What is important, though, is how we travel them.

Every effort is worthwhile.CIn many ways, Providence Mount St. Vincent in Seattle is a typical senior living community. It is home to about 400 elderly residents and provides them with different types of assistance. However, it is also the Inter-generational Learning Center---a preschool where children and seniors have the chance to bond.Established in 1991, the ILC’s purpose is to allow kids to learn about acceptance while also being nurtured. It also aims to help seniors develop a greater sense of self-worth and strengthen social interactions. Babies to prekindergarten-aged children are placed into six different classes at the ILC. The kids attend art and music classes, as well as story time and exercise time with the seniors. Marie Hoover, ILC director, said that interacting with the seniors has proven beneficial for the young ones, making them more open-minded.“For the ILC children, interacting with the residents is simply part of their day-to-day life here and the way aging is ‘normalized’, which may be the most important benefit they receive ,”Hoover said. “I’ve had parents call me years after their children have graduated from our program to let me know about some incidents when their child was the first to warmly greet someone who happened to be in a wheelchair.”As for the seniors, they’re delighted by the companionship the children provide. The children bring so much energy and joy to our residents. Many of residents are widows or widowers and can become lonely. Their adult children may still be working, so they may not get to see them as often as they would like. Having the children stay with the old makes our residents feel they are still part of a community. The young and the old connect and learn from one another at this unique facility.28. ILC is intended to _______.A. build a typical senior living communityB. take good care of the childrenC. benefit both the children and the seniorsD. rid the seniors of loneliness29. From what Hoover said in Para. 3, we can learn that the ILC children _________.A. keep in touch with the seniors even if they have left ILCB. come to realize that aging is a normal part of lifeC. take different attitudes to the elderly after graduationD. think it easy to interact with the elderly residents in ILC30. The last paragraph mainly tells us _________.A. the benefits the seniors receiveB. the situation of the seniorsC. children’s companyD. the interaction between the children and the seniors31. The underlined words this unique facility may refer to _________.A. a special buildingB. a typical familyC. a typical teaching programD. a special learning centerDAre you content with the shape of your nose? If not, the climate may be to blame , not your parents.This is according to a recent study carried out by scientists from Pennsylvania State University, US. They found that climate played a key role in shaping our noses. The findings were based on an examination of the size and shape of noses of 476 people from four regions---West Africa, East Asia, South Asia and Northern Europe, using 3-D facial imaging technology.“People have thought for a long time the difference in nose shape among humans across the world may have arisen as a result of natural selection because of climate,”Arslan Zaidi, one of the lead authors of the study, told The Guardian. But while previous studies were based on measurements from human skulls, Zaidi and his team looked at nose shape itself.The result showed that wider noses are more common in warm and humid climates, while narrower noses are more common in cold and dry climates. That, Zaidi said, could be because narrower nasal passages help to increase the moisture(潮湿) content of air and warm it，which is easier on our lungs. This, in turn, led to a gradual decrease in nose width in populations living far away from the equator.More study is still needed to test the link between climate and nose shape, but Zaidi believes the current findings are valuable in understanding potential health issue.“As we become more of a global community, we are going to come across climates that we are not adapt to,”he told the Guardian. This means moving to a very different climate might increase the risk of breathing problems.However, he added, “This may not be necessarily true for various reasons such as of modern medicine and the fact that our current climate is very different from what it used to be.”32. From the passage we know most people from Singapore have ________ noses.A. widerB. narrowerC. smallerD. larger33. Narrower noses are helpful to ________.A. cool the airB. warm the airC. take in more oxygenD. dry the air34. What can be learned about the study?A. Zaidi’s team measured human skull using 3-D technology.B. Shapes of our noses are determined by our parents.C. Nose shape helps people adapt to the environment.D. It’s certain that people will suffer from more breathing problems.35. Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?A. What factors shape noses?B. How to make your nose attractive?C. Nose shapes cause breathing problemsD. Climate shapes noses第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

ALife experiences can show one’s “grit”(坚韧). Complex challenges early in life helped the following people develop skills that got them to the top of their professions.Ursula Burns, Chairwoman, VEON; Former CEO, XeroxHer family was so poor that her single mother traded office cleaning for health care.But Burns’ early gift for maths won her a scholarship and an internship at Xerox, where she would compete her way to the top. “ I'm a black lady from the Lower East Side,” she says, “Not a lot scares me.”Howard Schultz, Executive Chairman, StarbucksSchultz grew up in public housing in Brooklyn, surrounded by poverty, and was the first in his family to go to college (on a football scholarship).After training in sales, he set up the company that would later buy Starbucks. “In the course of the year I spent trying to raise money, I spoke to 242 people, and 217 of them said no.” he said.Sean Combs, CEO, Sean JohnCombs began a generation of hip-hop talent and made a lasting influence on fashion.But he story could have turned out much differently: His drug dealer father was killed when hewas3. “It made me work even harder.” he recently said.Geisha Williams, CEO, PG&EHer parents fled Cuba when Williams was 5. By 7, she was her parents main translator in talks with lawyers and accountants at grocery stores they owned.The experience did help her. “I went from thinking I could be a manager to thinking I could do something much bigger.” she told Fortune.21.Who did best in math at school?A. CombsB. BurnsC. SchultzD. Williams22.How did the death of Combs’ father influence him?A.It made him a failure.B.He became a drug dealer.C.It made him even stronger.D.He became a hip-hopper.23.What can we learn from the passage?A.Cuba is a good place to do business.B.No one wanted to help Schultz at first.C.Poor family kids can be successful easily.D.Difficulty in life pushed Williams forward.BLooking at a pile of old photos, I couldn't help feeling rather regretful.I've never got into the habit of sorting out photos. However, it's almost a habit of mine to have photos taken thoughtlessly. Thus, photos have been piling up in my childhood to womanhood. In spite of that, those black-and-white pictures taken in my early years are rarely kept, except a few survivals regarded as antiques.The bald(秃头的) baby picture of me that I treasured, the only one left, it's now missing.Familiar faces flash one by one before my eyes. Though the world is so small and we all live in it, yet we are separated by physical and psychological distances, some smaller, some larger.With the passage of time, one cannot, regretfully relive(重温) it with the same feeling as one had in the picture.What one can get from the old photos is but a bit of the past joy.One takes pictures with different persons in different time and places.They fill one with nostalgia(怀旧) in various degrees--some more, some less, and others none.That's why one has conflicting feelings towards the old photos. Still kept with the current ones, they're even less favored than a daily-used cup, which is always close to the owner.How these pieces of thought influence me. Photos keep our images rather than our sentiment, which may not remain.The image is always there but not its owner, whom the photo can't keep ,neither can it keep the event.Of course, there are some of the photos still holding my affection, such as those taken with my family members, with favorite playmates, fellow girl-students and best friends, not only in pictures but also in my life and heart.Now, since I have learned all this, I will not allow myself to be included casually in a photo taken with others. I'll make sure that the friendship can last before I take a photo with somebody.24.Why did the writer have only a few black-and-white pictures?A She took fewer of them.B She took photos thoughtlessly.C She didn't take good care of them.D She only liked the bald baby picture.25.What can we get from the old photos according to the writer?A All the past events.B Some past happiness.C All the past excitement.D The everlasting memory.26.What does the underlined word “sentiment” in paragr aph 5 probably mean?A LookB ThoughtC FeelingD Influence27.What is the writer likely to do when asked to take photos others?A To take the photo happily.B To refuse the request politely.C To ignore the request casually.D To think carefully before action.CAs an Asian country, Singapore has a reputation for being highly westernized, with English among the country’s four official languages, but a couple of signs found on local buses that have recently become a hit online may say otherwise.Quite different from English we know, the sign read, for example, “Here cannot go in” instead of “No entry”, and Here can charge phone instead of Charge phone here. This language that resembles English is called Singaporean English or Singlish.The New York Times calls Singlish “patchwork” because Singapore consists of migrants(移民) from several countries including China, India and Malaysia, and they all speak their own versions of “English”.“Everyone who speaks it shapes it,” wrote the new spaper.For example, in Singlish, you can easily recognize influences from Chinese, including vocabulary such as” Mee Siam” and “da bao”. Sentence structures like ” toilet where” instead of “where’s the toilet” also come from Chinese.Interesting and diverse as it may see m, the trend for Singlish is worrying Singapore’s government. It is concerned that the dialect is lowering the country’s English standard and may affect its relationship with visitors.It even started the Speak Good English Movement.Unfortunately, the problem was not solved. Instead, Singlish has boomed, especially among young people who think of it as a sign of being cool and a way of identifying themselves as Singaporean.But this does not mean that standard English is being abandoned by young people. In fact, they are much more capable than the government gives credit--they can speak both.“We are a nation good at code switching-- we know that the way we speak to friends or drivers must be different from how act at work or school,” wrote C heryl, a Singaporean author, in Time magazine, “To actively urge us to give up a language that speaks to the very heart of who we are, that's so beautifully represents the melting pot of Chinese, Indians, Malaysians and Eurasians that we are, is shortsight ed, surely.”28 Why does Singapore have many different versions of English?A It is made up of migrants.B It is highly westernized.C It is influenced by Chinese.D It is affected by official languages.29 What is the purpose of starting the Speak Good English Movement?A To stop the new trend.B To better the relationship.C To keep the English standard.D To give the government credit.30 What do the young people think of Singlish?A It’s interesting.B It’s their identity.C It’s a sign of status.D It’s a way of code-switching.31 What can we learn from what Cheryl said?A Different people speak different styles of Singlish.B Singlish is a more beautiful language than others.C People speaks Singlish only to friends and drivers.D People can use Singlish to express themselves well.DLong before iphones, the cigarette was the companion of choice for restlessness. And long before Facebook and WeChat, it was tobacco that promised to better your social life. Now, quitting smartphones has become the new quitting smoking.Of course, technology does not yellow your teeth, cause disease or lead to cancer. But some individuals are so concerned that device addiction is damaging their mental health. In order to reduce their dependence, even in Silicon Valley, people are turning off the messages that constantly buzz for their attention, banning smartphones from the bedroom and, curiously, changing the colors on their screens to a less tempting scale of gray.The big tech companies will have to work out how to respond to this new generation of quitters. Facebook is the first to go public with its attempt, hoping its recent move can make the social network more homely.Last year the tech industry got a bad name- Big Tech-with unfortunate echoes of other industries that have faced fierce opposition, including Big Tobacco. Like them, the tech industry has to reduce concern from a new generation of activist shareholders(股东) that are questioning its role in the world. These campaigns are never as fierce as those faced by Big Tobacco. In the 1990s, socially responsible investors refused to put money in tobacco stocks.It is far difficult for investors to challenge Big Tech and hard to separate the good these companies do in the world--connecting old friends and giving space for people to share their ideas--from the bad.In the meantime, stopping using technology remains problematic. In The World Without Mind: The Existential Threat of Big Tech,Franklin Foer argues that tech should be seen in a similar way to junk food: a convenience that some reject for more continuing nutrition.So we need to do more to turn the tide. In the same way that public service announcements made smoking around your children taboo(禁忌),we can warn parents against losing themselves in their smartphones while taking care of kids.We can also create no-smartphone zones at dinner. Eventually smartphones could be banned from all public places and help us give our attention to the people around us instead.32 How did people keep close relationships with others in the past?A By smoking.B By drinking.C By phoningD By dining out.33 Why is the tech industry called Big Tech?A It plays a bad role in the world.B It is as big as Big Tobacco.C It has an unfortunate name.D It is a giant in Silicon Valley.34 What can we infer from Franklin Foer’s argument about the tech?A It promotes social development.B It is still favored by some people.C It is worse than Big Tobacco.D It offers continuing nutrition.35 Which can be the best title for the passage?A Creating a No Smartphone LifeB Smartphones Enrich Our Social LifeC Smoking Does Greater Harm Than Smartphones DoD Quitting Smartphones Is the New Quitting Smoking第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。

AYingge Dance is a traditional folk dance that has gained significant popularity in recent times.

Just at that moment, a kind- hearted young girl approached him. She asked him gently what was wrong and listened patiently as he struggled to explain.Without hesitation, the girl took his hand and slowly guided him along the path, chatting with him to ease his anxiety. They walked together until they reached the place the old man was supposed to be. The old man smiledwith thankfulness and relief.After helping the old man, the girl didn’t just leave. She spent some more time with him, sharing some interesting stories and making him laugh. The old man’s eyes sparkled with joy, and it was clear that this interaction had brightened his day. The girl’s kindness seemed to have an effect, as other people in the park also noticed and were inspired by her actions.I continued to observe as the girl then decided to stay with the old man for a while longer. They sat on a bench together, and the girl began to tell him about her own life, her dreams, and her adventures. The old man listened attentively, nodding and smiling from time to time. It was a beautiful sight to behold, this unlikely pair sharing such a genuine and heartwarming connection.This encounter made me reflect on the importance of kindness in our society. In a world that can often seem cold and hurried, acts like the girl’s are like the tower of light, showing us the way to a more empathetic（同情的）and caring existence. It also made me think about how we all have the potential to make a difference in someone else’s life, no matter how small the act may be.Now, whenever I recall this scene, it warms my heart and reminds me to be more willing to offer a helping hand, to spread kindness wherever I go, and to believe in the goodness that lies within each of us.24．What did the girl do for the old man?A．She gave him a warm and comforting hug to make him feel better.B．She took his hand and guided him along the path to help him find the place he was supposed to be.C．She asked to take a photo with him to capture the moment.D．She went to a nearby store and bought him a refreshing drink.25．How did the old man feel in the end?A．He felt extremely grateful and had a big smile on his face because he was happy.B．He was still hungry and sad as no one really cared about his needs.C．He felt fearful and angry because the girl was too pushy.D．He felt cold and tired as the walk was too long.26．What can we infer about the author’s attitude?A．Doubtful.B．Disapproving.C．Negative D．Admiring. 27．Where is this passage most likely from?A．A detailed and informative travel guide filled with places to visit.B．A complex and educational science textbook with various theories.C．A personal blog where the author shares personal experiences and thoughts.D．A trendy and fashionable magazine featuring the latest styles and trends.CChina’s tea culture is an ancient and profound（意义深远的）cultural heritage that has been passed down and developed for thousands of years. It weaves an complicated and fascinating pattern within Chinese society.Tea growing in China is an art form in itself. The tea- growing areas, with their special climates and lands, produce teas of exceptional quality. From the misty mountain s of Fujian to the green landscapes of Yunnan, different areas offer a rich variety of tea types.The process of making tea is careful and detailed. It involves exact measurements of water temperature, the right amount of tea leaves, and a certain steeping time to get the fullest flavor and smell. This care for details shows the Chinese people’s search for excellence in all parts of life.Tea is not merely a beverage; it is a thing that helps social relations. It brings people together, whether in family get- togethers, friendly meetings, or business talks. The act of sharing a cup of tea is a sign of kindness and connection. And the many tea- houses all over the country offer places for people to relax, talk, and enjoy the peace that tea gives. Moreover, tea ceremonies are an important part of Chinese culture. These ceremonies are complex and formal, showing the grace and elegance of Chinese traditions. They involve exact movements and a deep respect for the tea and the process.In addition to its social and cultural importance, tea in China is also known for its possible health benefits. It is thought to have anti- oxidant（抗氧化的）features and is linked to various good effects on physical health.As China keeps moving forward and modernizing, its tea culture is still strongly fixed, a proof of its historical and cultural importance. It keeps attracting both the Chinese people and those from around the world, inviting them to explore and enjoy the beauty and depth of this great cultural phenomenon.28．What is the main reason for the rich variety of tea types in China?A．Different processing methods.B．Different people’s preferences.C．Different regions’ climates and lands.D．Different times of harvest.29．What does the word “beverages” mean in the passage?A．A type of food that is sweet and usually served as dessert.B．A tool or equipment used for cooking.C．A kind of medicine that helps to cure diseases.D．Something that people drink, such as water, juice, or coffee.30．What is the main feature of tea ceremonies in China?A．Simple and casual.B．Complicated and formal.C．Fast- paced and efficient.D．Loud and lively.31．Why is tea culture still firmly rooted in China?A．Because of its long history.B．Because it is profitable.C．Because it is easy to maintain.D．Because the government promotes it.DChina successfully launched the Chang’e-6 spacecraft on Friday. A Long March-5rocket lifted it off from the Wenchang Space Launch Site in Hainan. This was a huge success and a remarkable achievement for China’s space exploration program. The launch not only shows China’s advanced technological abilities but also makes scientists and space lovers around the world excited.Collecting samples from the far side of the moon is a new thing for humanity. We have very little knowledge about this mysterious side. If the Chang’e-6 mission is successful, it will give scientists important and direct facts to know more about the far side’s environment, geological features, and material make- up. This will be an important step forward in our exploration of the moon and the universe as a whole.The Chang’e-6 spacecraft has an orbiter, a lander, an ascender（上升器）, and a returner. When it reaches the moon, it will land carefully on the far side. Within 48 hours after landing, a robot arm will carefully collect rocks and soil from the lunar surface. Also, a drill will go into the ground to take samples from deeper layers. At the same time, a series of complex scientific tests and analyses will be done to get valuable data.The far side of the moon is very different from the side we can see. The Apollo basin in the South PoleAitken Basin is chosen as the landing and sampling place for the Chang’e-6 mission. This area is thought to have precious clues about the moon’s formation and development, giving possible ideas about the early history of our celestial （天体）neighbor.This mission has many technical difficulties and needs the latest technologies. It also gets help from international cooperation, showing the spirit of working together in the global search for space exploration. The exploration of the far side of the moon may provide valuable scientific data and open up new possibilities for future space activities, such as setting up long- term lunar bases and using lunar resources.The success of the Chang’e-6 mission has the possibility to make more international cooperation in space exploration. It shows China’s strong wish to add to the growth of global knowledge about the universe and encourages other countries to work together to find out the secrets of the universe.32．What is the main purpose of the Chang’e-6 mission?A．To build a base on the far side of the moon.B．To study how the moon moves around.C．To collect and bring back samples from the far side of the moon.D．To look for water on the moon.33．Which of the following is true about the far side of the moon?A．It’s different from the side we can see.B．It’s the same as the side we can see.C．We know a lot about it.D．It has no rocks or soil.34．What might the exploration of the far side of the moon lead to?A．No change in the future.B．New chances for space activities.C．Fewer friends for China in space.D．No new technologies.35．What could be a suitable title for this passage?A．“The Mystery of the Moon”B．“The Far Side of the Moon: Unknown Territory”C．“Space Exploration and Challenges”D．“China’s Chang’e-6 Mission: Unveiling the Secrets of the Moon’s Far Side”第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

AIf you are looking for something fun and educational to do in Maryland,why not visit the Maryland Science Center?It is located at 601 Light Street,Baltimore,MD 2.The ticket prices vary depending on ages,groups and the exhibits you choose.IntroductionThe Maryland Science Center is basically a museum,but it gives everyone a chance to learn through experience and play,rather than just glance at an exhibit.ActivitiesYou can learn about various topics,including outer space,the human body,dinosaurs,electricity,marine （海洋的）biology,energy,and much more.You can also take part in the interactive activities,such as racing bubbles,digging for dinosaur fossils,using puzzle pieces to construct cars,and so much more.The Davis Planetarium（天文馆）At the Davis Planetarium,you can lie back in a chair and look at the stars while still inside the Science Center. The stars will appear on the ceiling of the theatre as you watch them.There are different shows to catch at the Davis Planetarium.You can learn about the galaxy and astronomy during the Dark Matters show.Learn about the stars and planets during the Sky Live show.The One World One Sky show allows children to explore the stars.The Live from the Sun show will teach you all about the hot sun.The Kids RoomFor children,they can't miss the Kids Room.They will be able to play in a water area,construct dams and water towers,push buttons,ring doorbells,build with blocks,and more,and definitely they will learn alot.In addition,there is also an area for kids of two years old and under,where they can crawl,walk and explore safely with soft toys.1.What do we know about the Maryland Science Center?A.It charges different prices for parents and Children.B.It is regarded as the most popular museum in Maryland.C.It is a museum where there are many famous exhibitions.D.It is mainly designed for children and their families to play together.2.Which activity is not available in the Maryland Science Center?A.Taking part in bubble competitions.B.Learning the structure of the human body.C.Watching famous science fiction films.D.Gaining knowledge of marine creatures.3.If you want to know why the sun shines,which show should you choose?A.Dark Matters.B.Live from the Sun.C.One World One Sky.D.Sky Live.4.What can we learn about the Kids Room from the passage?A.It is designed for parents who have children.B.It provides a good opportunity for parents to relax.C.Children there need to be accompanied by their parents.D.It is a good place for children to learn and play at the same time.5.Where is the passage most probably taken from?A.A newspaper.B.A science journal.C.A marketing report.D.A travel brochure（小册子）.BEvery May it happens.I drop to my knees,just outside the back door,raise my arms to the sky and shout,"That's it!I give up!Take my flower beds,you killer weeds!Blackberry vines（藤蔓）,this land is yours!Vines,climb up and kill my trees one by one!I’m done!”Then I get up,lie down on the swing,and close my eyes.I'm sure I can hear the weeds growing and the vines creeping in（悄悄爬进）.I swear they are all laughing at me,too.They don't even have the manners to wait until I leave there.There is no denying that gardens are battle zones in the spring.I blame it on those April and Mayrains.Once the heat moves in,I can control what gets watered and survives,but those early showers even out （平均分配）the battlefield.Garden tools alone make it clear that gardening isn't an easy thing.My old cart seems to have the personality of a tank,and I'm pretty sure my spade is second cousin to a dagger.By late June,both sides are worn down.I've given some of the yard over to the weeds—you just can't win them all.That's a battle for next year.There is no clear victory for me,but I've stood my ground for yet another season.6.What is the best title of the passage?A.A victory over weeds.B.My love for the yard.C.A battle against weeds.D.The skills of gardening.7.What does the underlined "it" in Paragraph 1 most probably refer to?A.That heat moves in and evens out the battlefield.B.That vines creep in and kill all the trees one by one.C.That weeds take whole possession of the flower beds.D.That the author gets exhausted from fighting against weeds.8.What can we know from Paragraph 3?A.Spring is the best time to kill weeds.B.Spring's heal helps weeds to win the battle.C.The rain makes it hard for the author to win her battle.D.The spring rain makes the plants to suffer too much.9.Why does the author compare her garden tools to weapons?A.To show the power of the tools.B.To stress the difficulty of gardening.C.To describe the shapes of the tools.D.To provide ways of gardening.10.What can we learn according to the passage?A.The author is exhausted by the battle and has finally given up.B.The author has decided to battle with the weeds next year.C.The author enjoys the battle with the weeds and expect another fight.D.The author does not want to kill all the weeds since they are also helpful.CEvery one can try his best to achieve.We don't need to be the best,but to tough out the limits of what we are capable of.I gained this belief from my third grade teacher,the mast special honored,trustworthy,and loved person in my life.Mr.Myrus was always perfectly dressed and spoke with the belief that talking to eight-year-olds d idn’t mean he had to sacrifice proper statements or grammars.And he was demanding but he wasn't unreasonable or cruel.He simply felt that no matter what your best was,you should achieve it.As luck would have it,I met him again as my eighth grade math teacher.I was not,nor ever will be,gifted in math. I remember my struggles in class."I don't know the answer,"I would say,"I can’t do it!"“Perhaps you don't know the answer,”he wou ld say quietly."Do you think we might figure it out together?How do you know what you can do until you try?"Mr.Myrus lived around the comer,and I would often stop by to talk while he worked in his garden.I knew there was someone who let me know that if I had really tried,that was enough."Don't be so hard on yourself,"he'd say."Stop blaming yourself.Did you try your best?Well,then you're not a failure,"he often told me these words.Mr.Myrus died in 1978.I had never thought about his death.He was too young.I felt sorry.But when I think about him now,I don't feel so sorry.He taught me to be kind,not only to others,but to myself.He taught me my own value.He taught me about honor,about truth,and about doing my best—and that all feelings and beliefs have dignity and deserve respect.And of all the things I know,this I believe: We can't all be “the best”,but we can,each of us,be our best,and I know that's true because Mr.Myrus told me that.11.What can we learn about Mr.Myrus according to the passage?A.He is usually hard on the students.B.He is responsible for his students and his teaching.C.He is a person who isn't particular about what be wears.D.He sometimes is cruel and unreasonable to his students.12.What does the underlined word “dema ndi ng” in Paragraph 2 most probably mean?A.Strict.B.Serious.C.Critical.D.Careful.13.Why did the author think he was a lucky dog?A.He had got a great belief from his teacher.B.Mr.Myrus trad been his teacher for

math.B.The author preferred other subjects to math.C.The author was ashamed to admit his poor math.D.Mr.Myrus helped the author build up his confidence.15.What can we conclude by reading the passage?A.The author may have become a teacher.B.The author liked to recall his childhood.C.The author believed he would be the best of all.D.The author ended up being a man of self-confidence.DIn an unmanned supermarket,a customer waits to pay.With the use of advanced digital payment technology, including biological recognition and in-depth learning,the man leaves in a minute.There's no cashier in the store.At a large university,students use a hand-scanning machine that authorizes their entry into the gym.Those people are using “smart mac hi nes” which iden tify people by their physical characteristics.These new devices use fingers,hands, faces,eyes and voices.Some machines may even use smells.This new technology,called biometrics,gets information from parts of the body.In the past,biometric machines were used mainly in government agencies or in prisons.But now that the cost of the technology is lower,these machines are starting to be used everywhere,from border services to schools.Some people,however,are concerned that these machines will mean the destruction of personal privacy.They worry that the machines will get personal information about them.“I know it seems like these machines are invading our privacy,but actually,biometric machines help to protect it,”say s Jay Tarkett,who works at a company that develops the machines.“They can be used instead of passwords on a computer,for example.They can also identify criminals at airports.So,really,they help to promote public safety,and all the information stored is kept conf idential by the machine itself.”Some people don't like the idea of using fingerprints because they associate them with criminals,andfeel like they are being accused of something.In addition,they don't work for some people,such as bricklayers,who wear down their fingerprints.Yet,face recognition does work well because the subject doesn't really have to do anything.To cash a check at a bank,for example,the customer has to do nothing more than look at a machine similar to an automatic teller.If the face matches the picture kept on fie,the customer gets the money with no problems.The need to carry identification with you from place to place,then,would all but cease.It has been found that the hand scan works well in the college gym.Before this machine was used,students at the college entered the gym using cards similar to credit cards.The problem was that students often lost or forgot their cards.With the hand-scanning machine,however,the problem was solved right away.But the machines are still new,and there can be problems.For example,voice recognition works on the phone, but it is not precise,and can be tricked.Another constraint（限制）we notice,with machines that use face recognition in particular,is that they can be fooled if people color their hair or gain a lot of weight.However,this particular problem may be solved by a new type of technology that scans a person's iris,the colored part of the eye.It can even identify the person from a few feet away,recognizing a customer as he or she approaches the ATM.16.What's the author's intention by presenting two examples in Paragraph 1?A.To stress how smart machines work.B.To bring in the topic of the passage.C.To show the popularity of smart machines.D.To introduce the convenience smart machines offer.17.Why don't people like using finger-prints while using the machine?A.They want to keep their mistakes a secret.B.They don't want to damage their fingers.C.They are afraid of losing money in the bank.D.They are afraid of being thought of as criminals.18.Why are biometric machines starting to be used in many fields?A.They are not as expensive as they were.B.They no longer invade people's privacy.C.People enjoy face and voice recognition.D.Criminals are often hidden at airports.19.What is the author's attitude towards the new technology?A.Worried.B.Bitter.C.Optimistic.D.Satisfied.20.What is the passage mainly about?A.An introduction to biometric machines.B.An advertisement for biometric machines.C.A brief description of hand scanning machines.D.An analysis of biometric machines' value in economy.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
