BJeremiah Thoronka was born in the fighting of the Sierra Leone civil war and grew up in the gutter(贫民窟)on the suburbs of the capital Freetown,having to burn wood for lighting heating.Jeremiahheating.Jeremiah saw with his own eyes how,in addition to the smog making breathing problems common,his young contemporaries fell behind in their schoolwork because of a lack of decent lighting.Energy poverty is a major issue in Sierra Leone—with just 26%of the population having electricity.Inelectricity.In rural parts of the country,only 6%of people have electricity access,most of whom turn to solar lanterns and dry-cell batteries.As a result,it's led to the destruction of forests as people cut down trees for firewood,which leaves Sierra Le one highly sensitive to extreme events like flooding and landslides.Families reliance on firewood also leads to frequent house fires.These life-threatening disadvantages and hardships fuelled Jeremiah's passion for renew able energy and climate change advocacy.At 17 when studying at the African Leadership University in Rwanda,he launched a start-up called Optim Energy that transforms vibrations(震动)from vehicles and footfall on roads into an electric current.It is different from established renewable energy sources including wind or solar because it generates power without relying on changeable weather.Optim Energy ran a successful pilot program in Jeremiah's neighbourhoods,Makawo in the northern part of Sierra Leone and Kuntoluh east of Freetown.With just two devices,the startup provided free electricity to 150 households comprising around 500 citizens as well as15 schools where more than 9,000 students attend.Jeremiah is currently developing plans to expand into the healthcare field which needs power to cool medicines and create enough light for treating patients after dark.24.What affected the young fellows academic performance?A.The war.C.The poor lighting.B.The smog.D.The breathing problem.25.What can we learn about"energy poverty"from paragraph 2?A.It is caused by solar lanterns and dry-cell batteries.B.It has a worse impact on the city area.C.It brings about the destruction of forests.D.It increases the risk of forest fires.26.What is special about Optim Energy?A.It draws on vibrations to make electricityB.It upgrades the use of solar energy.C.It runs a pilot program throughout the city.D.It helps 9,000 students return to school.27.What message does the text want to convey?A.Electricity is the lifeblood of the city.B.Whoever is happy will make others happy too.C.Life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all.D.We are all in the gutter,but some are making it better.CFor a century,Jordan Creek cut across downtown Springfield.Over the decades the stream regularly flooded into the city's commercial heart.Residents had been tired of the floods so they created concrete banks to cage the stream and in 1932 buried the waterway,hiding it in culverts(排水管)under city streets.It was man's attempt to control floodwater.That was the old way of thinking.For a while,that controlled the floods.But the roads and other hard surfaces prevented water from going into the ground and allowing more rainwater into the enclosed streams than they could handle.Eventually,the water won.The neighborhood flooded in 2000,2008 and2016.For two decades,the city discussed freeing the stream and allowing water to run over the floodplain.Finally,a project to uncover 1,100 feet of Jordan Creek and build three bridges is moving forward.The new way of thinking is to give the water some room,leave some areas for floods and just let nature be nature.Uncovering buried waterways to bring them back to life is a process known as“day lighting”.Coverings are removed and an attempt is made to restore the natural flow and the surrounding ecosystem.The primary goal of the project is flood control.But the work has a variety of benefits.Native plantings will help improve the water quality by filtering(过滤)rainwater.The stream will replace an unsightly landscape and become a“string of pearls(珍珠)”connecting parks and green areas in the city's "Quality of Place"initiative.The benefits go beyond that.Stream restoration is neighborhood restoration.The project may promote economic development and increase property values and tax revenue.While the projects can be expensive,they end costly maintenance.Returning to nature is cheaper than maintaining concrete culverts.28.What did Springfield citizens in the 1930s probably believe?A.Man can control nature.C.Business is the heart of a city.B.Life is prior to development.D.Residents should not live by a river29.What was one result of covering Jordan Creek?A.Three bridges were removed.B.Water went into the ground.C.Floods hit the neighborhood.D.Rainwater was well handled30.Which aspect of the project does paragraph 4 mainly discuss?A.Economic value. C.Flood management.B.Construction planning D.Environmental impact.31.Which can be a suitable title for the text?A.A Solution That Proves a ProblemB.Old Thinking Inspires New ChangesC.“Buried”Streams Turn into Urban CentersD.“Daylighting”Buried Waterways to Refresh CitiesDPhilosophers have a bad reputation for expressing themselves in a dry and boring way.The ideals for most philosophical writing are precision.clarity,and the sort of conceptual analysis that leaves no hair un-split.There is nothing wrong with clarity,precision,and the like —but this isn't the only way to dophilosophy.Outside academic ,abstract philosophical ideas are often expressed through literature,cinema,and song.There's nothing that grabs attention like a good story,and there are some great philosophical stories that delight and engage,rather than putting the reader to sleep.One of the great things about this is that,unlike formal philosophy,which tries to be very clear,stories don't wear their meanings on their sleeve —they require interpretation,and often express conflicting ideas for the reader to wrestle with.Consider what philosophers call the metaphysics(形而上学)of race —an area of philosophy that explorers the question of whether or not race is real.There are three main positions that you can take on these questions.You might think that a person's race is written in their genes(a position known as“biological realism”).Or you might think of race as socially real,like days of the week or currencies ("social constructionism").Finally,you might think that races are unreal —that they're more like leprechauns(一种魔法精灵)than they are like Thursdays or dollars(“anti-realism”).A great example of a story with social constructionist taking on race is George Schuyler's novel Black No More.In the book,a Black scientist named Crookman invents a procedure that makes Black people visually indistinguishable from Whites.Thousands of African Americans flock to Crookman's Black No More clinics and pay him their hard-earned cash to undergo the procedure.White racists can no longer distinguish those people who are "really"White from those who merely appear to be White.In a final episode,Crookman discovers that new Whites are actually a whiter shade of pale than those who were born that way,which kicks off a trend of sunbathing to darken one's skin-darkening it so as to look more White.Philosophically rich stories like this bring more technical works to life.They are stories to think with.32.What does the author think of philosophical stories?A.The meaning behind is very obvious.B.They am extremely precise and formal.C.They often cause conflicts among readers.D.They are engaging and inspire critical thinking.33.Which category might "Christmas"fall into according to paragraph 4?A.Social constructionism.C.Biological realism.B.Anti-realism.D.Literary realism.34.What is Black No More in paragraph 5 mainly about?A.Racial issues caused by skin colors.B.A society view on race and self-image:C.Black people accepted by the white society.D.The origin of sun bathing among white people.35.What is the best title of the text?A.Stories Made Easy C.Positions in PhilosophyB.Stories to Think withD.Nature of Philosophical Writing第二节(共5小题：每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)Do Lobsters Feel Pain?The traditional method for cooking a lobster(龙虾)—boiling it alive —raises the question of whether or not lobsters feel pain. 36 .Lobsters go bad very quickly after they die,and eating a dead lobster,increases the risk of illness and reduces the quality of its flavor.However,if lobsters are capable of feeling pain,the method and others,such as storing the live lobster on ice,raise moral questions for chefs and lobster eaters alike.37 Lobsters have a peripheral system like humans,but instead of a single brain,they possess nerve cluster(神经簇).Because of this difference,some researchers argue lobsters are too dissimilar to vertebrates(脊椎动物)to feel pain.Nonetheless,lobsters do satisfy all of the standard for a pain response.Lobsters guard their injuries,learn to avoid dangerous situations,respond to anesthetics,and are believed to possess some level of consciousness.So most scientists believe that injuring a lobster causes physical pain.38 ,so it is now becoming illegal to boil lobsters alive or keep them on ice.Currently,boiling lobsters alive is illegal in Switzerland,New Zealand,and the Italian city Reggio Emilia.The most humane tool for cooking a lobster is the CrustaStun.This device electrocutes a lobster,making it unconscious in less than half a second or killing it in 5 to 10 seconds. 39 .Unfortunately,the CrustaStun is too expensive for most restaurants and people to afford.Some restaurants place a lobster in a plastic bag and place it in the freezer for a couple of hours,during which time it loses consciousness and dies. 40 ,but it is probably the most humane option for killing a lobster before cooking and eating it.A.This solution is not idealB.And then,it can be cut apart or boiledC.Lobsters are popular food in many countriesD.There is growing evidence that lobsters may feel painE.Scientists disagree over whether or not lobsters feel painF.Many restaurants choose more humane methods to cook itG.This cooking way is used to improve humans' dining

However, they were happy. After all, their forefathers had lived in the same way for centuries.Then one day, some visitors from the city arrived. They told the villagers there were some people elsewhere who liked to eat frog's legs. However, they did not have enough frogs of their own，so they wanted to buy frogs from other places.This seemed like money for nothing. There were millions of frogs in the fields around，and they were no use to the villagers. All they had to do was catch them. Agreement was reached，and the children were sent into the fields to catch frogs. Every week a truck arrived to collect the catch and hand over the money. For the first time, the people were able to dream of a better future. But the dream didn't last long.The change was hardly noticed at first, but it seemed as if the crops were not doingso well. More worrying was that the children fell ill more often, and there seemed to be more insects around lately.The villagers decided that they couldn't just wait to see the crops failing and the children getting weak. They would have to use the money earned to buy pesticides (杀虫剂) and medicines. Soon there was no money left.Then the people realized what was happening. It was the frog. They hadn't been useless. They had been doing an important job—eating insects. Now with so many frogs killed, the insects were increasing more rapidly. They were damaging the crops and spreading diseases.Now，the people are still poor. But in the evenings they sit in the village square and listen to sounds of insects and frogs. These sounds of the night now have a much deeper meaning.24.

No matter what the school's policy is, there are only few basic pieces to the clothes that are necessary, so it won't break the bank. A few wardrobe clothes can last a long time. Parents could also enjoy an easy morning, as it will take less time to choose a set of clothes for the school day.Students wearing uniforms will feel less pressure about what to wear or not to wear when their classmates are dressed similarly. Getting dressed before school becomes less of a complex thing when students are limited in their choices, so there shouldn't be any trouble about choosing an outfit for the day and getting ready quickly. Some students may not like the lack of individuality (特性)with a uniform, but some school dress code policies may offer them the opportunities to show their unique styles.Uniforms today are also becoming more fashionable and can be seen in many areas of pop culture. Celebrities and fashion designers are using uniforms as inspiration for new lookswhich also appeal to students.28. What would be the best title for the text?A. The disadvantages of school uniformsB.

Her mother Cissy Houston was the choir minister at New Hope Baptist Church, and it was there that the young Whitney got her start.When she was 19, Whitney Houston was discovered in a nightclub by the famous Clive Davis of Arista Records. In 1983,Houston made her debut (首演) on national television. In 1985, she released her debut album Whitney Houston and almost immediately became a sensation. Over the next year, her hit singles Saving All My Love for You and How Will I Know helped the album reach the top of the charts, where it remained for fourteen weeks in a row. Houston won a Grammy in 1986 for Saving All My Love for You.By 1992, Whitney Houston was on top of the world, but her life was about to get very complicated very quickly. That year she married the R&B singer Bobby Brown. At first the marriage was passionate and loving, but things turned sour as the decade progressed and both Brown and Houston battled drug abuse.In spite of these growing personal troubles, Whitney Houston continued to progress in her career, crossing over successfully into acting in 1992 by starring in The Bodyguard. Her single from the movie, I will Always Love You, proved to be Houston's biggest hit ever, spending a record-breaking fourteen weeks on top of the US charts.In the late 1990s and early 2000s, Whitney Houston's increasingly rocky marriage, struggles with drug and health problems threatened her career. Over the next few years, Houston attempted to break her drug habit and divorced Bobby Brown in 2007.After almost a decade of struggling with her personal life, Houston seemed to be pulling herself together. She released a new album I Look to You, in 2009.The recording received a warm welcome from music fans.In early 2012, Houston worked on a new musical film Sparkle with Jordin Spark.

He was holding down two jobs at the time — one with the city’s public works department, the other as a barber. Saturday was his busiest hair-cutting day, but he chose to donate his time and give free haircuts to unfortunate kids so they’d look neat on that first day of classes. But then he had a light bulb moment: “The kids should earn their free haircut by having to read a book to me,” Holmes said.The idea was so popular that he continued it the first Tuesday of every month for the next two years. Boys from five to ten years old would grab a favorite book, settle into the barber chair, and read aloud while Holmes was doing their hair. If they were puzzled over a word, Holmes was there to help. After the haircut, they’d review he book, from the characters and vocabulary to the themes — just like in school, only more fun. Holmes, who is married and has two sons, ages three and four, recognizes that not every parent has the time to read with their kids.Holmes admits he, too, benefits from the process. “There was this seven-year-old who struggled through his book, stuttering over words even though he didn’t have a stutter (口吃),” said Holmes. He had the boy take the book home and practice. When the child came back a few days later, “He read it with no problems. That inspires me.”Holmes and his family have recently moved to a Chicago suburb. When they get settled, he plans to take up his role as the Story-book Barber. “The way the world is today with guns and violence,” he says, “it’s a safe heaven for the kids, to come to the barbershop and read books.”4．What do we know about Holmes two years ago?A．He had only one job.B．He earned a lot as a barber.C．He offered free haircuts to the poor kids.D．He was the organizer of Back to School Bash.5．The example in Paragrap3 mainly proves that _______.A．Holmes is very strict with the kidsB．Holmes also learns a lot from the kidsC．being a fluent reader needs plenty of practiceD．many kids have trouble in reading a storybook6．What can we learn from the last Paragraph?A．Holmes is dissatisfied with the world today.B．Holmes’ barbershop will have some changes.C．Holmes’ barbershop has won great popularity.D．Holmes will continue to be a storybook barber.7．What is the best title for the text?A．The Storybook BarberB．Back to School BashC．Reading Counts A LotD．Care About the KidsAny schoolchild knows that a whale breathes through its blowhole. Fewer know that a blowhole is a nostril (鼻孔) slightly changed by evolution into a form more useful for a mammal that spends its life at sea. And only a dedicated expert would know that while toothed whales, such as sperm whales, have one hole, baleen (鲸须) whales, such as humpback and Rice whales, have two.Even among the baleen whales, the placing of those nostrils differs. In some species they are close together. In others, they are much further apart. In a paper published in Biology Letters Conor Ryan, a marine biologist at the Scottish Association for Marine Science, suggests why that might be. Having two nostrils, he argues, helps whales smell in stereo (立体空间).Many types of baleen whales eat tiny animals known as zooplankton (浮游动物), whichthey catch by filtering (过滤) them from seawater using the sheets of fibrous baleen that have replaced teeth in their mouths. But to eat something you first have to find it. Toothed whales do not hunt by scent. In fact, the olfactory bulb—the part of the brain that processes smell—is absent in such creatures. But baleen whales still have olfactory bulbs, which suggests smell remains important. And scent can indeed give zooplankton away. Zooplankton like to eat other tiny creatures called phytoplankton (浮游植物). When these are under attack, they release a special gas called dimethyl sulphide, which in turn attracts baleen whales.Most animals have stereoscopic senses. Having two eyes, for instance, allows an animal to compare the images from each in order to perceive depth. Having two ears lets them locate the direction from which a sound is coming. Dr Ryan theorized that paired blowholes might bring baleen whales the same sorts of benefits.The farther apart the sensory organs are, the more information can be extracted by the animal that bears them. The researchers used drones to photograph the nostrils of 143 whales belonging to 14 different species. Sure enough, baleen whales that often eat zooplankton, such as the North Atlantic right whale, have nostrils that are farther apart than do those, such as humpback whales, that eat zooplankton occasionally. Besides allowing them to breathe, it seems that some whales use their blowholes to determine in which direction dinner lies.8．What do we know about whales’ nostrils according to the first two paragraphs?A．They are adapted ones.B．They are developed merely for smell.C．They are not easy to detect.D．They are fixed universally in numbers. 9．What plays a role when baleen whales hunt zooplankton?A．The teeth that baleen whales have.B．The smell that phytoplankton send.C．The sound waves that zooplankton create.D．The chemical signals that zooplankton give off.10．How is the concept of stereoscopic senses explained in paragraph 4?A．By quoting a theory.B．By using examples.C．By making contrast.D．By making inferences.11．What is the position of nostrils related to according to the last paragraph?A．The sense of smell.B．The possibility to attract food.C．The ability to locate food.D．The ability to communicate.In a world where everyone has their own opinions on just about everything, it’s common for people to be critical of each other’s mistakes and imperfections without noticing their own. Some individuals mistakenly think it’s their responsibility to make you into a better person. They do this by first pointing out your shortcomings directly and then providing advice on how you can improve.So what is the possible solution to criticism? If you are the one forcing others to feel ashamed of themselves, please stop. Make a conscious decision rather than highlight the negative aspect of a person’s performance or attitudes. You are more likely to offer helpful suggestions from the beginning. If you are on the receiving end of criticism, the “OK” response is a perfect solution. When someone comments negatively on a task you are doing or a personality issue of yours, a natural response is to defend and attack. However, this approach is rarely effective as it puts both parties on the defensive. Instead, simply reply with “OK”. This brief one-word response acknowledges the other person’s comment without agreeing with it or feeling necessary to engage in a debate about it.It’s crucial to stay connected to what the other person is talking about, and listen without getting upset, to be an objective observer. In fact, there is much that one can learn from a negative review. You can ask yourself: Did I make a mistake? Could I have done better? Did I give 100% of myself to the task at hand? If so, how can I improve myself? As for chronic criticizers: It is important to set strict boundary with them. Remove yourself from their presence when necessary.In any case, one can learn to be “OK” with criticism and not allow it to negatively impact your life or relationship with the other party.12．What might the author think of people who like to judge others?A．Self-centered.B．Responsible.C．Talkative.D．Warm-hearted. 13．What does a person mean by saying “OK” according to Paragraph 3?A．He thinks the advice is helpful.B．He completely agrees with the comments.C．He wants to avoid unnecessary arguments.D．He defends himself with the response. 14．What is the recommended action for dealing with chronic criticizers?A．Embrace their views.B．Criticize them in return.C．Avoid interaction if needed.D．Engage with them regularly.15．What is the most suitable title for the text?A．The Art of Giving Criticism B．Mastering Self-Defense against Criticism C．Dealing with Personal Relationships Flexibly D．The Path to Self-Improvement through CriticismLessons that are Learned from the OlympicsThe Olympic Games are enjoyed by everyone. Here are some tips about how to bring the deeper meaning of the Olympics into your life.◆Excellence comes with hard work and practice.Learning about the training schedules of Olympic athletes reminds us that success doesn’t come easily.

At long last,in a comfortable home,with a generous pension he should learn to take things easy.“Thank you for your nice words,”he wrote in his letter back,“and I know what you meant,but slowing down scares me.Life isn’t having it made;it’s getting it made.”“The finest and happiest years of our lives were not when all the debts were paid,and all difficult experiences had passed,and we had settled into a comfortable home.No.I go back years ago,when we lived in a three-room house,when we got up before daylight and worked till after dark to make ends meet.I rarely had more than four hours of sleep.But what I still can’t figure out is why I never got tired,never felt better in my life.I guess the answer is,we were fighting for survival,protecting and providing for those we loved.What matters are not the great moments,but the partial victories,the waiting,and even the defeats.It’s the journey,not the arrival,that counts.”The letter ended with a personal request:“Boy,on my next birthday,just tell me to wake up and get going,because I will have one less year to do things—and there are ten million things waiting to be done.”Christina Rossetti,an English poet,once said:“Does the road wind uphill all the way?Yes,to the very end.”Today,at 96,my grandfather is still on that long road,climbing.66.Wh at was the author’s grandfather before he retired?(no more than 5 words)_________________________________________________________________67.What did the author advise his grandfather to do in his letter?(no more than 10 words)_________________________________________________________________68.What is the grandfather’s view on life according to his letter back?(no more than 10 words)_________________________________________________________________69.How do you understand the underlined sentence in the last paragraph?(no more than 10 words)_________________________________________________________________70.Do you agree with the grandfather’s view on life?Give reasons in your own words.(no more than 20 words)_________________________________________________________________六：书面表达（满分20分）假设你是新华中学的学生李华，你校英语协会正在招募志愿者，来接待来访的外国中学生。

河北省邢台市2024-2025学年高二上学期第一次月考英语试题一、阅读理解The UK is an incredibly diverse destination for travelers. Here’s our pick of some splendid places to visit in the country. Grasmere, Lake DistrictEngland’s Lake District has such a breadth of beautiful landscapes that visiting just one doesn’t do it justice. Grasmere is perhaps one of the best places to start. Grasmere houses great hotels as well as an award-winning small bookshop, which is for stocking up on maps and mountain literature. Grasmere’s Dove Cottage was home to poet William Wordsworth. Cairngorms National Park, ScotlandScotland’s Cairngorms is arguably the last truly wild place remaining in the UK. In winter, these hills sit beneath meters of wind-swept snow. In summer, the long days and warm sun make it the perfect place for hiking and camping. Adventurers will go hiking into the hills, while those who want to be quieter should go to Loch an Eilein, a ruined castle located on its central island where you can enjoy the scenery on postcards and see red squirrels (松鼠) up close. Hadrian’s Wall, NorthumberlandThe one-time northern frontier of the Roman Empire, Hadrian’s Wall is arguably the greatest historical site in a country blessed with castles and ruins. Stretching from one side of England to the other, its central section is the most arresting, the wall rising and falling across steep hills. Those with more time can follow the 135-kilometer national path, taking in the wall from Newcastle to the Solway Firth. Glens of Antrim, Northern IrelandThe nine Glens of Antrim extend down from the Antrim Plateau to the Irish Sea. You can hire a car and follow the winding coast road, built in the 1830s, which covers over 160 kilometers, with views of the hills. The Glens of Antrim has a starring role in a TV series, meaning this part of Northern Ireland has attracted a flood of tourists in recent years.1．What can visitors do at Grasmere?A．Visit Newcastle’s wall.B．Attend the local book fair.C．Explore Wordsworth’s life.D．Observe red squirrels at close range. 2．Which has been made famous through exposure in a TV series?A．Grasmere.B．Cairngorms National Park.C．Hadrian’s Wall.D．Glens of Antrim.3．Who is the text most likely intended for?A．Beach-goers.B．Castle-admirers.C．Literature-explorers.D．Travel-lovers.Virginia “Ginger” Hislop, now 105, recently received her master’s degree from Stanford University, 83 years after completing her master ‘ s in education in Stanford in 1941. Originally Hislop desired to be a lawyer, but her father rejected paying law school tuition (学费) because he didn’t support women lawyers. Therefore, Teaching was the next best choice for Hislop with the help of her grandmother and aunt. She enrolled at Stanford in 1936, earning her bachelor’s (学士) degree in education four years later.It’s worth noting that even if she had received her degree, many school systems wouldn’t have hired her as a married woman. Not until the 1964 Civil Rights Act were these “marriage bars” that allowed for schools to not hire wives, and even fire teachers who got married after hiring, completely done away with. Gender (性别) inequality may have put a hold on her career, but they led to her becoming a powerful advocate for all students.Hislop worked to improve educational opportunities for all students, believing everyone should have access to higher education if they desired. Her efforts contributed to transforming Yakima Valley College from a junior college to an independent institution awarding associates, bachelor’s, and master’s degrees. This was achieved through her work with local and state legislators and the Community College Act of 1967. Hislop also served on boards of various education and arts-focused organizations.“I didn’t return to teaching, but I feel I put my teaching certificate to good use serving in committees and on boards and trying to improve educational opportunities every chance I got,” Hislop says. At 105, Hislop remains an active community member. Her son-in-law Doug Jensen notes, “The biggest lesson I’ve taken from her is that you never really stop learning. She’s a reader with a strong thirst for knowledge, and at 105 she’s still energetically moving and shaking.”4．What made Hislop choose teaching?A．Financial difficulties of her family.B．Family responsibilities.C．Her interest in education.D．Her father’s refusal of tuition.5．What can we know about the society when Hislop was young?A．Women faced many limits on career.B．Lawyer was the best job choice.C．Education was open to everyone.D．Men and women had equal chances. 6．What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?A．Hislop’s political ambitions.B．Hislop’s plan to build educational equality.C．Hislop’s desire to change education policies.D．Hislop’s efforts and contribution in education.7．Which of the following can best describe Hislop?A．Determined and devoted.B．Energetic and humorous.C．Wise but indecisive.D．Courageous but impatient.Several companies in different fields are hurrying to develop cool and dry face masks to help people in the upcoming unbearable summer heat in Japan.For instance, a sports marketing company in late May started sales of face masks made with a soft stretch material that is used for its swimsuits and wear for track and field athletics. By using the material, the repeatedly washable mask can fit the face with less stress and help prevent splash infections (感染). The product, which costs 935 yen including tax, gained strong popularity, with 20,000 pieces sold on its first online sales day.Similarly, another Japanese company, a maker of equipment for badminton, tennis and other sports, will sell masks made with its “Very Cool” material containing xylitol from early July. Xylitol absorbs heat, responding to sweat, and the material is used for the wear for the Japan badminton national team, as well as professional tennis players. The company plans to sell the mask at 840 yen, tax included. Notably, the length of the string of the quick-drying mask can be adjusted for a better fit.In addition, a fast retailing company plans to start selling face masks this summer featuring a highly breathable and fast-drying material used for its popular underwear products that are cool and dry quickly. Its spokeswoman said the date of the debut of the mask and its price will be announced once they are determined. But one thing is for sure: It won’t cost more than 1,000 yen, including tax.Moreover, a company, specializing in the production and sale of various knit products, hasput on sale cloth masks equipped with ice packs. The mask has two pockets to hold four refrigerant (冷却的) packs and can cool the user’s face for one to two hours. The new mask sells for 1,300 yen, including tax, in vending machines and online sales are also available. The mask can be used repeatedly if cooled in a freezer.These innovative approaches by various companies highlight the diverse strategies being employed to combat the intense summer heat while ensuring safety and comfort for the users. 8．What is the purpose of this text?A．To warn people to wear face masks.B．To introduce some face masks fit for summer.C．To find some materials suitable for face masks.D．To refer to some famous companies in Asia.9．What’s the unique feature of the masks made by the sports marketing company?A．Absorbing heat.B．Breathable and fast-drying.C．Washable and with less stress on the face.D．Cool the user’s face for one hour. 10．What does the underlined word “debut” in paragraph 4 mean?A．The first public appearance,B．The research of the material.C．The convenience of the material.D．The lowest price.11．Which company’s masks are the most costly?A．The sports marketing company.B．The company selling equipment forbadmintonC．The fast retailing company.D．The company selling various knit products.The China National Space Administration (CNSA) has successfully collected rock and soil samples from the far side of the moon, which will offer scientists an opportunity to study the lesser-understood lunar face unseen from Earth.The samples entered Earth’s atmosphere on Tuesday and landed in northern China. They were secured in a re-entry capsule (太空舱) from a larger spacecraft, called Chang’e-6. The entire mission lasted nearly two months and marked a milestone for lunar research. “Chang’e-6 is the first mission in human history to return samples from the far side of the moon,” Long Xiao, a planetary geologist, tells the media. “This is a major event for scientists worldwide.”Launched on May 3, the Chang’e-6 spacecraft consisted of four modules: an ascender (上升器), an orbiter, a lunar lander and a return capsule. It reached lunar orbit five days later, where it remained for several weeks. On June 1, the lander successfully descended and touched down on the far side of the moon in the South Pole Aitken Basin. Directing the movement of a spacecraft on the far side of the moon is difficult, because the moon blocks radio signals from Earth. To solve this problem, CNSA engineers used two relay satellites, Queqiao and Queqiao-2, launched ahead of this mission, to communicate with the spacecraft.Once on the moon, Chang’e-6 used a robotic arm to collect 4.4 pounds of lunar material. “Collecting samples from the far side is exciting, as we only have very limited information on the geology there,” says Martin Barstow, an astrophysicist at the University of Leicester in England. The collection of rocks launched from the lunar surface in the spacecraft’s ascender on June 3, then united with the orbiter later. It began its earth-bound journey on June 21, and will get to China this week.Scientists hope the lunar soil will offer evidence of the history of the moon, which could also explain that of the Earth. Most lunar basins were formed from asteroid showers 3.9 billion years ago, which also hit the Earth and possibly carried water there.12．Which carried the lunar soil back to Earth?A．The orbiter.B．The lunar lander.C．The ascender.D．The return capsule. 13．How long did it take the Chang’e-6 to reach the moon?A．Nearly a month.B．About a week.C．20 days.D．11 days.14．What is the function of the relay satellites?A．To prevent the Chang’e-6 spacecraft being harmed.B．To repair the Chang’e-6 spacecraft in case of emergency.C．To provide better signals for the Chang’e-6 spacecraft.D．To better observe the flight of the Chang’e-6 spacecraft.15．Why is the soil from the far side of the moon important?A．It is the first time to collect lunar soil.B．It may help scientists know more about the moon.C．The soil is very rare on the moon.D．It is made up of at least 100 chemicalelements.Over the last year, grocery (食品杂货) prices have increased a bit. Mia Moncel, founder of a cooking program, gives tips on how to spend less money at the store. Do online research16 . “Just type each item into the search bar on your grocery store’s website,” Moncel says. “It will show you what they have available at that store, and you can compare them in the comfort of your home instead of waiting in line at the grocery store.”Don’t think bulk (大量) deals are betterIs it always cheaper to buy in bulk? “Not all the time,” says Moncel. 17 . For example, if you decide whether to buy that family size box of cookies, or just a regular box, look at the price per kilogram. If the regular box has a lower price per kilogram than the bulk pack, it’s a better deal. Replace pricey ingredients (原料) with cheap ones“Meat usually costs more than vegetables,” says Moncel. 18 For example, if a dish calls for a pound of beef, you could reduce the beef by half and then take less expensive ingredients like beans. That way, you’ll still get the taste of the beef without the cost. 19 “Before you head to the store, take your shopping list into the kitchen and carefully check whether you have those items. You might not realize you already have some of those things on hand,” says Moncel. Think outside the big-box grocery storeOrganic eggs, for example, are sometimes cheaper at farmer’s markets. So shop around. “Once you get to know the average prices at each of these stores, decide which one is the best to shop this week,” Moncel says. “ 20 .”A．Double-check your kitchenB．Store delicious foods at homeC．There are two options open to youD．She suggests paying attention to unit pricesE．But cutting back doesn’t mean going withoutF．It may take more time, but it can save your moneyG．Compare the prices of foods online before you go shopping二、完形填空When I was 17, my rowing coach declared that taking a day off a week was unnecessary.

She then met her husband and got married. Merrill first thought about going to school part-time to get a degree, but later she decided to follow her dream of attending medical school. Certainly, it was a challenge. Speaking of her successfully returning to university, Merrill thought it was credited to her family largely. “When I was accepted at Mayo Clinic Alix School of Medicine, we moved from Pennsylvania to Arizona,” said Merrill, who is moving to Indiana with her family to begin her residency (实习期) in neurosurgery. “In fact, they volunteered these movements. I know it was tough for all of us.”Merrill and her children often have “homework parties” where they study for their own courses. Merrill’s choice has given a stimulus to her children. Merrill felt touched knowing her 11-year-old daughter wants to become a surgeon and overhearing her son tell his friends his mom’s going to be a cool brain surgeon, though he doesn’t understand that really.Merrill’s next step into a neurosurgery residency will take her into a male-dominated field where only 5% of board certified neurosurgeons are women. Dr. Michele Halyard at Mayo Clinic Alix School of Medicine said Merrill was known as a focused student. Halyard said, “If you can deal with nine children and keep your reason, the residency should be a piece of cake because no amount of stress will make you fail.”Merrill had considered choosing a more family-friendly specialty, but, again, chose to dream big and follow her original pursuit. It’s the same advice she would give to all. “Set the goal that is what you’re really enthusiastic about, and it helps to think small. If you know what your priorities are, focus on the next step. Then you’ll get where you want to go.”4．Why does Merrill speak of their movements?A．To show the support of her family.B．To stress her determination to be a doctor.C．To reflect difficulties in attending college.D．To describe the process of pursuing her dream.5．What does the underlined word “stimulus” mean in paragraph 3?A．Entertainment.B．Inspiration.C．Commitment.D．Confusion.6．What does Halyard mean in paragraph 4?A．Merrill will have more stress to handle.B．Staying focused and sensible is key to success.C．Being Mom makes Merrill a better doctor.D．She is confident of Merrill’s being a neurosurgeon.7．What does Merrill suggest at last?A．Starting with small things.B．Getting your priorities right.C．Being true to your passion.D．Having the courage to dream big.Imagine being able to go to your local park and pick some tomatoes, potatoes or even bananas to take home for dinner. Sounds too good to be true, right? For residents of Andernach, a German city, it’s not just a Utopian dream — it’s their reality. In 2010, Andernach began its “edible city” project, planting 101 varieties of tomatoes in public green spaces around the city centre. Its 30,000 residents are free to help themselves to whatever grows, as are any other visitors. Every year a new type of plant is introduced. In 2011, 100 types of beans were planted, while 2012 saw the introduction of 20 onion varieties. The town’s motto (座右铭) is, “Picking is encouraged — help yourself!”It’s a community effort, as local citizens are encouraged to help plant and maintain thegardens. This offers an opportunity to socialize as well as to learn about planting, cultivating and harvesting food. “I often drop by to pick some herbs that I’m missing at home. Everything is easily accessible. There aren’t any fences. You just take what you need. The only thing is you have to be quick once the fruits are ripe or they’ll all be gone!” said a local historian.Andernach may be the first, but it isn’t the only edible city. It’s part of the Edible Cities Network, an EU-funded project connecting green urban food initiatives (倡议) around the world.
