ASomething you may not know about End of HeatThe traditional Chinese lunar calendar divides the year into 24 solar terms. End of Heat is the 14th solar term of the year, which implies that most parts in China are getting rid of the hot summer and entering autumn. But in some areas, especially in South China, autumn is late in coming and people are still bothered by hot weather. End of Heat is also the busy harvest season for farmers.The following are the things you should know about End of Heat.Time for night-blooming cereus(昙花)The night-blooming cereus is a flower full of mystery, which often blooms during the period of End of Heat. This is because the climate during End of Heat, characterized by warm days and cold nights, is similar to tropical deserts. Night-blooming cereus originates in the tropical deserts from Mexico to Brazil in South America. They blossom at night to avoid the blazing daytime sun.Eating DuckDuck has a sweet flavor and according to Chinese traditional medicine it has a“cool”nature. Afolk tradition is to eat duck during the End of Heat period.

The tradition of eating duck during the End of Heat period is still popular in China.The Fishing Season FestivalFor fishermen, the End of Heat is a season of harvest. During this period, the Fishing Season Festival is held in regions along the coastline of the East China Sea in Zhejiang province. The festival is held on the day when the fishing ban ends and fishermen can start fishing again. Due to high temperatures in the sea, stocks of fish remain and become mature. People can enjoy many kinds of seafood during this period.1．About End of Heat, which of the following statements is true?A. It means the whole China has entered autumn.B. The areas beyond the Great Wall are still hot.C．In south China, the temperature is still high．D. It is the end of the harvest season for farmers.2.

When a library goer scanned Tutu’s QR code, Wangbao seemingly became annoyed, which brought a great amusement to the library goer who posted a video of the exchange that occurred on December 30 and has gone viral on social media.“Tutu, let’s stop fighting, OK?”said Wangbao．“Your mood sure swings a lot!”Tutu said.Wangbao raved, “Aren’t you a drama queen, I’m giving you an out. Stop being petulant!’’The library goer was even more amused, as the two robots grew noisier and angrier with each other, and finally, abruptly turning away from each other like naughty children.“It looks like how you quarrel with your girlfriend, ha-ha. ”one netizen posted.“I see myself from the quarrel, ”wrote another on Sina Weibo, which was echoed by many others.“It’s annoying to hear people arguing, and I didn’t expect I'd have to listen to robots arguing, ”another netizen wrote.The online video was widely circulating on Sina Weibo, with some 500, 000 views as of press time on Saturday. Tutu and Wangbao became internet hot figures, even attracting attention from major news outlets in the country.When the two online celebrities were interviewed by reporters on Friday, the two seems already forgave each other after three days．“It was a thing last year…Isn’t it normal to have quarrels between friends?’’Wangbao said in video posted by the Xinhua News Agency on Saturday.4. What’s the purpose of paragraph one?A. To show how smart the two robots are.B. To increase our awareness of AI technology.C. To introduce the following parts.D. To criticize the quarrel between the two robots.5. What was the library goer’s attitude towards the argument?A. Amazed.B. Entertained.C. Puzzled.D. Excited.6．By presenting some netizens’comments, the author intends to tell us____．A. the fight draws the public’s great attentionB. the fight has an awful effect on people’s lifeC. the fight takes place on a regular basisD. the fight feels like a real one7. Where is the text most likely from?A. A textbook.B. A diary.C. A magazine.D. A website.CAs Australia experiences record-breaking drought and bush-fires, koala populations have declined along with their habitat, leading to koalas becoming“functionally extinct”. The chairman of the Australian Koala Foundation, Tabart, estimates that over 1, 000 koalas have been killed from the fires and that 80 percent of their habitat has been destroyed.Functional extinction is when a population becomes so limited that they no longer play an important role in their ecosystem and the population becomes no longer possible to live.Deforestation and bush-fires destroy the main food source of koalas, the eucalyptus(桉树)tree. An adult koala will eat up to 2 pounds of eucalyptus leaves per day as its main food.Many are asking the Australian government to pass The Koala Protection Act, written in 2016 but never passed into law. The Koala Protection Act would work to protect habitat and trees important to koala as well as protect koalas from hunting.Recent videos of Australians saving koalas has led to increased donation to help burned koalas. The Port Macquarie Koala Hospital set up a Go Fund Me page seeking donations to help the hospital treat injured koalas. To date, they have raised$1. 33 million, well over their $25, 000 goal, which comes from over 30, 000 donors. The funds will also be used for a“Koala Ark”as a refuge for burned koalas to live in healthy habitat.8．According to the first paragraph, what can we know about the drought and bush-fires?A. They are the most serious ones in the history of Australian.B. They have made koalas extinct.C. They have killed 80％of the koalas.D. They brought the most serious influence to Australian.9. When does functional extinction happen?A. When a species becomes extinct.B. When a species is limited to certain habitat.C. When ecosystem no longer plays an important role.D. When the number of a species becomes so small that they have little chance to live. 10．According to the passage, the following statements are true EXCEPT that_____．A. koalas mainly feed on eucalyptus tree leavesB. the Australian government has passed The Koala Protection Act into lawC. The Koala Protection Act is aimed to protect koalas and its habitatD. a good many Australians are quite concerned about koalas11. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. Some videos require people to donate for koalas.B. Go Fund Me page treated injured koalas.C. Australians have deep love for koalas and donate generously to help them.D. The funds will be used to set up healthy habitat for koalas.DChildren born in the past four decades had the luxury of being the center of their parents’attention. The entire family’s resources were poured into their education and well-being.However, when the same resources are split between two children, the amount distributed to each one is going to shrink.According to the Hangzhou Daily, when there are two children in the family, parents tend to choose public schools instead of private schools, which are usually more expensive．Each child is enrolled in fewer after-school training classes．But having a second child may cure some deep-rooted problems in China’s traditional family education.Having two children in the family can help to prevent one child being spoiled by too much attention, according to People’s Daily. It also spares the only child from the pressure of shouldering parental expectations all alone. Taking care of a sibling also enables children to gain a sense of responsibility, cooperation, obedience and caring.China’s public education system is also expected to shift. Currently, there are not enough vacancies in kindergarten and schools to accommodate the potential increase in children.“It’s not only the enrollment capacity of educational institutions that will feel the pressure．People are also placing more emphasis on the quality of education, ”Peng Xizhe, director of the Population and Development Research Policy Center at Fudan University, told China Education Daily．He predicts the government may have to invest more to support the educational system as a result of the new family planning measure.12. What can children benefit from a two-child family?A. They can have less pressure.B. They can study in private schools.C. They can get much more attention.D. They can take more after-school training classes.13. Which of the following words can replace the underlined word“accommodate”?A. holdB. adaptC. solveD. consider14. What can we infer from Peng Xizhe’s words?A. People are placing more emphasis on the quality of education.B. The government may have to invest more to support the educational system.C. The new family planning measure will challenge the current educational system.D. The educational institutions will feel the pressure that their capacity is not enough.15. What is the purpose of this text?A. To show benefits of owning two children.B. To persuade people to bear more children.C. To encourage people to have only one child.D. To introduce the impact of two-child policy.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填入空白处的最佳选项。

AI first learned about Robert Munsch when I was in primary school. Our librarian read us The Paper Bag Princess, which I loved. I loved the way Munsch told a story and how the illustrations by Michael Martchenko complemented it perfectly.Since then, I’ve read several other books by Munsch, including Love You Forever, The Fire Station and The Snowsuit, and I have enjoyed them all.The Paper Bag Princess is a classic story about a princess who saves a prince from a dragon, only to have the prince reject her because she is no longer pretty due to her ragged clothes. The story is still as popular today as it was when it was first published in 1980.Love You Forever is a heart-warming story that explores the relationship between a mother and her son, beginning with the birth of the son and following him through his life as he grows up, moves away and eventually becomes a father himself.The Fire Station is the perfect book for children who are fascinated by fire trucks and firefighters. It tells the story of a young boy who visits his local fire station and learns all about the equipment firefighters use to fight fires.The Snowsuit is a hilarious story about a little boy who stubbornly refuses to wear his new snowsuit, despite the cold weather. The story, which is based on Munsch's own experiences, is relatable and funny.I would recommend Robert Munsch’s books to anyone who loves stories with heart, humour and relatable characters. His books are great for children of all ages and are sure to become treasured favourites.1. What impressed the author most about Robert Munsch's stories?A. The way Munsch told a story.B.

Successful landscape photographers know how to choose the right locations and use the right techniques to turn their vision into stunning images.Location is key in landscape photography. Photographers carefully research and scout out locations, looking for places with interesting geographical features, unique lighting conditions, and easy access. Popular landscape photography destinations include national parks, mountains, beaches, and city skylines.The time of day is also crucial in landscape photography. Many photographers prefer the “golden hour”, which is the hour after sunrise or the hour before sunset, when the light is soft and warm. Others prefer to shoot during the “blue hour”, the time around dawn or dusk when the sky has a deep blue color.Landscape photography requires more than just a good location and good timing. Photographers must also have strong technical skills, such as the ability to use filters and control exposure. They must also know how to compose a beautiful shot, using techniques such as the rule of thirds or leading lines.Despite its challenges, landscape photography can be a deeply rewarding pursuit. By capturing beautiful images of the natural world, photographers can inspire others to appreciate and protect the environment.4. What is the focus of landscape photography?A. The beauty of the natural world.B. The technical skills required to take good photos.C. The use of filters to control exposure.D. The importance of timing when taking photos.5. What factors do photographers consider when choosing a location for landscape photography?A. Geographical features, lighting conditions, and accessibility.B. Color schemes, artistic style, and historical significance.C. Distance from urban areas, cost, and weather conditions.D. Availability of power sources, internet access, and cell phone coverage.6. Why do many photographers prefer to shoot during the “golden hour”?A. Because it is the time of day when the sky is blue.B. Because it is the hour after sunrise or before sunset.C. Because it is the hour before sunrise or after sunset.D. Because it is the time of day when the light is artificial.7. What must photographers know in order to take good landscape photos?A. How to travel to remote, exotic locations.B. How to work with models and direct poses.C. How to edit photos using software programs.D. How to use filters, control exposure, and compose shots.CMost people assume that chess is a form of entertainment, but for some players it is more than that. There are people who play chess for a living, and they travel all over the world participating in tournaments. These players are called professional chess players, and they have an international rating system that levels the playing field. It iscalled the Elo rating system.The Elo rating system was named after its creator, Hungarian physicist Arpad Elo, who calculated the formula in 1960. His system was based on the assumption that chess is like a physical game; a player’s performance is dependent on their level of skill and their physical condition. The rating system also takes into account the strength of the opponent and the result of the game.The Elo system assigns everyone who plays chess a rating based on their performance in tournaments. The system is set up so that players who have higher ratings are more likely to win against players with lower ratings. A player’s rating can go up or down depending on how well they play against their opponent.A professional chess player can have a rating of over 2700, while an average player has a rating of around 1500. The difference between ratings can affect how much prize money is awarded to the winning player. For instance, the winner of a tournament may get $50,000 while second place may only get $30,000.To become a professional chess player, you need to have talent, skill, and patience. It takes years of practice and training to compete at the highest levels. Most chess players start as children and study the game intensely. They join chess clubs and participate in tournaments. It is not uncommon for a player to spend six to eight hours a day studying chess.8. According to the passage, what is the Elo rating system?A. An international rating system for chess playersB. A system for calculating prize money in chess tournamentsC. A way to level the playing field for physical gamesD. A method of ranking players based on their physical condition9. What is the significance of the opponent’s strength in the Elo rating system?A. It affects the Elo rating of the opposing player onlyB. It determines the prize money awarded to the winnersC. It helps to objectively determine a player’s Elo ratingD. It is considered to be of little importance10. What does the article suggest about the training required to become aprofessional chess player?A. It requires a lot of time and hard workB. It is more important than talentC. It is not commonly taken seriously enoughD. It is typically begun in adulthood11. What is the main purpose of the article?A. To explain the history of chessB. To argue for the inclusion of chess in the OlympicsC. To highlight the physical demands of playing chessD.

In a review of studies published from 2005 to 2015, researchers from the University of Copenhagen analyzed evidence comparing groups who exercised alone with those who worked out together, either in person or virtually.The meta-analysis, which included data on nearly 2,000 participants, found that those who exercised in a group setting, either in person or remotely, reported greater “adherence” (持续性) to their workout routine than those who exercised alone. The findings also suggest that working out as a group appeared to reduce the participants’ perceived exertion, meaning they felt they were getting more of a workout while feeling less physical strain.The results, published Thursday in the journal Obesity, add to the body of evidence that suggests that being part of a group, whether in person or virtually, can lend important support to achieving and maintaining personal fitness goals.One of the main advantages of working out in a group is the opportunity to share one’s successes and feelings with others, according to the report’s senior author, Marit B. Rise, a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Copenhagen’s Center for Social Data Science. The coaches and the social environment provided by exercisingwith others can also motivate individuals to exercise more often, she said.But if someone is having difficulty sticking to an exercise regime, it may be difficult to find a group to join, Dr. Rise cautioned. In those cases, people who work out alone should consider ways to mimic the support mechanisms found in a group setting, such as joining an online support program on a social media platform dedicated to fitness.The researchers did not gather information on factors such as how frequently a group worked out together or how long they stayed in contact with one another outside of exercise sessions.12.
