I ____ her and thanked her and proceeded (接着) to eat the cake.For me that day came two weeks later, when I drove back for another short visit. I came upon exactly the same ____: my mom sitting at the kitchen table; a chocolate cake resting next to twobo xes wrapped in curly ribbon. The ribbon was green this time. That was the only ____. “Happy birthday!” my mom said.I was totally ____. “What’s going on?” I asked.Mom smiled. “Can’t I celebrate my daughter’s birthday?”This was no trick.

I’m having a good time on my holiday in Shangri-La. It is the name of a city in Yunnan, China. I decided to come here because I wanted to experience the real Shangri-La for myself, even if it’s different from the paradise we read about in the book. So far, I really like it here.On Monday, I left Lhasa at noon, and after changing flights once, I reached Shangri-La at eight in the evening. That night, I was so tired that I had a quick bite to eat and then crashed at the hotel.Yesterday, I went to the Potatso National Park. The park covers such a wide area that the ticket for the park includes a bus tour, as it is the only way to see all the major sites in one day. Just to give you an idea of how large the place is, imagine a park that spans across vast forests, wetlands, lakes, meadows, and several villages! On the bus, I made friends with the passengers around me, and they said that I had definitely picked the right season to visit the park. The autumn scenery, they said, would be absolutely picture-perfect.On top of its beautiful scenery, the park is also famous for its rich biological diversity. Did you know that Potatso makes u p less than one percent of China’s total land area, but it contains more than 20 percent of the country’s plant and animal species? I even saw two black-necked cranes (鹤) at the picturesque Bita Lake! Bita Lake is absolutely my favorite place in Potatso. Just imagine, a beautiful lake, blue skies, majestic mountains, and golden trees all around me. Spending time there can be an amazing experience, which gives me a good rest.Tomorrow, I am going hiking at the Tiger Leaping Gorge. Fingers crossed that there will be good weather! Anyway, I need to get some sleep now since tomorrow’s going to be a long day, but I’ll tell you all about it when I get back!Love,Chris11.

When returning in a truck one day from a fishing trip, he had an accident and suffered injuries to his spine (脊柱). This 15-year-old young man awoke to find that he had lost the use of his legs. However, he didn’t give up. Many months later he began to compete in wheelchair sports. At the age of 27, he decided to wheel around the world to raise awareness and money for spinal cord research. His tour took him through 34 countries around the world between 1985 and 1987. In this Man of Motion World Tour, he wheeled 24,901.55 miles, which is equal to the distance around the earth.Bad weather and difficult, rocky roads often provided challenges for Rick, but he continued to push himself to complete the trip. He was determined to succeed. Even mountains did not stop Rick Hansen. He wheeled himself up the Rocky Mountains and several other major mountains in the world. He even wheeled himself along the Great Wall of China!“Never Give Up On Your Dreams” was his motto and he hasn’t given up yet. He completed his world tour raising $24 million. He continues to work to increase knowledge of spinal cord injury. He is a true Canadian hero who shows what determination can achieve.15. What happened to Rick after the accident?A．He lost the ability of living. B．He had to spend his life in hospital.C．He couldn’t walk any more.D．He couldn’t do sports any more.16. Why did Rick take his tour around the world in his wheelchair?A．To collect money for the spinal cord research.B．To learn about the people of other countries.C．To travel to different countries for fun.D．To take photos of beautiful mountains.17. From the passage we can see Rick is a(n) ________ person.A．unhappy B．determinedC．careful D．quietMeeting people from another culture can be difficult.From the beginning,people may send the wrong signal(信号).Or they may pay no attention to signals from another person who is trying to develop a relationship.Different cultures emphasize(强调)the importance of relationship building to a greater or lesser degree.For example,business in some countries is not possible until there is a relationship of trust.Even with people at work,it is necessary to spend a lot of time in “small talk”,usually over a glass of tea,before they do any job.In many European countries—like the UK or France—people find it easier to build up a lasting working relationship at restaurants or cafés rather than at the office.Talk and silence may also be different in some cultures.I once made a speech in Thailand.I had expected my speech to be a success and start a lively discussion;instead there was an uncomfortable silence.The people present just stared at me and smiled.After getting to know their ways better,I realized that they thought I was talking too much.In my own culture,we express meaning mainly through words,but people there sometimes feel too many words are unnecessary.Even within Northern Europe,cultural differences can cause serious problems. Certainly, English and German cultures share similar values;however,Germans prefer to get down to business more quickly.We think that they are rude.In fact,this is just because one culture starts discussions and makes decisions more quickly.People from different parts of the world have different values,and sometimes these values are quite against each other.However,if we can understand them better,a multicultural environment(多元文化环境)will offer a wonderful chance for us to learn from each other.18. In some countries,eating together at restaurants may make it easier for people to .A．develop closer relations B．share the same cultureC．get to know each other D．keep each other company19. The author mentions his experience in Thailand to show that .A．the English prefer to make long speechesB．too many words are of no useC．people from Thailand are quiet and shy by natureD．even talk and silence can be culturally different20. According to the text,how can people from different cultures understand each other better?A．By sharing different ways of life.B．By accepting different habits.C．By recognizing different values.D．By speaking each other’s languages.21. What would be the best title for the text?A．Multicultural EnvironmentB．Cross-Cultural DifferencesC．How to Understand Each OtherD．How to Build Up a RelationshipStrangers Under the Same RoofDoes every dinner with your parents seem to turn into an argument? Have your once warm and open conversations become cold and guarded? Do you feel that you just cannot see eye to eye with them on anything? You are not alone. Heated arguments and cold silences are common between teenagers and their parents.Teenagers' physical changes may result in such family tensions. You may feel anxious that you are developing at a different rate to your friends, shooting up in height or getting left far behind. You might worry about your changing voice, weight problems or spots（粉刺）.When it all gets too much, your parents are often the first targets of your anger.It can be a big headache to balance your developing mental needs too. You enter a strange middle ground --- no longer a small child but not quite an adult. You have both a new desire for independence and a continued need for your parents' love and support. You feel ready to be more responsible and make decisions on your own. Unfortunately, your parents do not always agree and that makes you feel unhappy. "Why can't they just let me go?" you may wonder. On the other hand, when you are struggling to control your feelings, you wish they could be more caring and patient---sometimes they forget that growing up is a rough ride. It can be difficult when your parents treat you like a child but expect you to act like an adult. All of this can lead to a breakdown in your relationship.Although sometimes it may seem impossible to get along as a family, you can take action to improve the situation. The key to keeping the peace is regular and honest communication. When you disagree with your parents，take a minute to calm down and try to understand the situation from their point of view. Perhaps they have experienced something similar and do not want you to go through the same pain. After you have thought it through, explain your actions and feelings calmly, listen carefully，and address their concerns. Through this kind of healthy discussion, you will lean when to back down and when to ask your parents to relax their control.Just remember that it is completely a common thing to struggle with the stress that parent child tensions create, and that you and your parents can work together to improve your relationship. The good news is that this stormy period will not last. Everything will turn out all right in the end, and the changes and challenges of your teenage years will prepare you for adulthood.22. The first paragraph is mainly introducing ___________.A．the importance of close family relationshipsB．the quarrels between teenagers and their parentsC．the wall of trust between parents and their teenagersD．the common conversations between parents and children23. What mainly causes the teenagers family tensions according to the author?A．Their parents' attitude towards them.B．Parents' strict control over their teenagers.C．Parents' expectation on their children's development.D．Teenagers' physical changes and their mental needs.24. What would the author agree according to the passage?A．Parents should let go of the control over their teenagers.B．Teenagers should always follow their parents' points of view.C．Parents and teenagers should always keep open conversations.D．Teenagers should not depend on their parents' love and support.25. The author thinks the stress that family tensions cause is ___________.A．normal B．terribleC．avoidable D．natural26.

By the time she was 13, her company was worth millions of dollars with the invention of a super-sweet treat that could save kids’ teeth, instead of destroying the m.It all began when Moore was offered a candy bar. However, her dad reminded her that sugary treats were bad for her teeth. But Moore was sick of missing out on candies. So she desired to get round the warning, “Why can’t I make a healthy candy that’s good for my teeth so that my parents can’t say no to it?” With that in mind, Moore asked her dad if she could start her own candy company. He suggested that she do some research and talk to dentists about what a healthier candy would contain. With her dad’s agreement, she spent the next two years researching online to get a candy that was both tasty and tooth-friendly. She also went to dentists to learn more about teeth cleaning. In the end, she succeeded in making a kind of candy product — Cancandy.Quickl y, Cancandy sells very good in the supermarket. As CanCandy’s success grows, so does Moore’s popularity as a young entrepreneur. Moore is excited about the candy she created, and she’s also positive about what the future might bring. She hopes that every kid can have a clean mouth and a broad smile. Although she founded her company early on in life, she wasn’t driven by profit (利润) .Moore wants to use her special talent to help others find their smiles. She donates 10% of AilicCandy’s profits to Big Smil es. With her talent and determination, it appears that the sky could be the limit for Alice Moore.56.

These symptoms not only affect our academic performance but also our overall wellbeing.To address this issue, I suggest that the school could organize workshops on stress management and time management skills.

浙江省杭州市精诚联盟2023-2024学年高一上学期10月月考英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________二、阅读理解Ideas of making the first week of high school easyFrank, Aged 21I think almost every kid feels both nervous and excited before their first day of high school. You will probably love it. I know I did. You should join some sports or activities that will make your high school experience more enjoyable. Good luck!Sharon, Aged 22The most important thing to keep in mind when going into high school is to be yourself. Besides, I don’t know what your middle school was like, but high school teachers will not care about things such as how much homework you already have in one night. It’s best to learn to deal with things and manage your time wisely so you can achieve everything you need to do.Eddie, Aged 20When I started high school, I was really nervous too, especially since I had been homeschooled (家中教学) all through middle school and didn’t really know anyone. I suppose the best advice would be to just relax. The first couple of days can be a little bit hard, but things will become easier before you know it.David, Aged 19I’m not going to lie. The first day is kind of frightening. But you’ll get used to it. Don’t be afraid of anyone; upperclassmen (高年级学生) will pick on you more if you let them know you’re afraid. Just take it easy. Making some friends and staying with them will greatly help you get used to high school quickly. After the first week it’s really not bad at all. Don’t worry.21．What can we infer (推断) from Sharon about high school?A．Teachers are quite strict.B．Students often stay up at night.C．Teachers provide much care for students.D．Students should make good use of their time.22．How did Eddie feel on his first day of high school?A．Bored. B．Excited.C．Worried. D．Relaxed.23．Who mentions the importance of friends?A．Frank. B．Eddie.C．Sharon. D．David.【答案】21．D 22．C 23．D【导语】本文是应用文。

Of course, they can be more than just a pet as certain 12 are excellent working dogs too. We know about the amazing help that guide dogs give to blind people and, more recently, a new 13 has been found for the animals — working as therapy dogs in universities.Research by Washington State University in the US, has found spending time with a dog can help stressed out students. Patricia Pendry from the university told the BBC that a study of 300 undergraduates had found weekly hour-long sessions with dogs brought to the university by professional dog trainers had made stressed students at high risk of 14 failure or dropping out feel relaxed and accepted. The dogs helped them to 15 , learn and remember information.I know that touching a dog gently helps me to relax; other research has shown that petting animals can reduce stress hormone levels and 16 , so it makes sense to introduce them into an environment where people are stressed. Sean Coughlan from BBC writes that around 1,000 campuses in the US already use therapy pets and it’s becoming more 17 in the UK. For example, The University of Middlesex has employed “canine (犬的) teaching assistants” to help stop lonely students dropping out. Fiona Slithers, head of clinical skills at the university, says that five Labradors (拉布拉多) had a “strict assessment” to 18 they had the right temperament (脾气). But she adds “it’s hard to describe the 19 of just having a dog lying down in the corner of a class.”Using dogs for therapy can also help the dogs themselves. In Wales, Swansea University Students’ Union has used rescued greyhounds (灵缇犬) to help students between exams. Sessionsallow mistreated and abandoned dogs to 20 with humans and begin to trust them again.三、完形填空Geography is the study of the relationship between people and the land. Geographers compare and contrast 21 places on the earth. But they also go beyond the individual places and consider the earth as a 22 . The word geography comes from two Greek 23 , ge, the Greek word for “earth” and graphein, which means “to write”. The English word geography 24 “to describe the earth.” Some geography books focus on a small area like a town or city. Others deal with a state, a region, a nation, or an 25 continent. Many geography books deal with the whole 26 . Another way to 27 the study of geography is to distinguish between physical geography and cultural geography. The former 28 on the natural world; the latter starts with human beings and 29 how human beings and their environment act upon each other. But when geography is considered as a single subject, 30 branch can neglect the other. A geographer might be 31 as one who observes, records, and explains the 32 between places. If all places were 33 , there would be little need for geographers. We know, 34 that no two places are exactly the same. Geography, then, is a point of view, a 35 way of looking at places.21．A．similar B．various C．distant D．famous 22．A．whole B．unit C．part D．ball 23．A．persons B．words C．places D．names24．A．is B．has C．intends D．means 25．A．extensive B．entire C．overall D．enormous 26．A．city B．state C．nation D．earth 27．A．continue B．begin C．divide D．complete 28．A．relies B．holds C．focuses D．calls 29．A．learns B．studies C．realizes D．understands 30．A．neither B．either C．one D．each 31．A．treated B．described C．called D．employed 32．A．exceptions B．sameness C．differences D．divisions33．A．important B．different C．alike D．unknown 34．A．therefore B．thus C．moreover D．however 35．A．special B．right C．wrong D．regular四、阅读理解My son, Toby,17 months old, has just tested positive for COVID-19. He is the first in our household to test positive, and all the information provided for people in this situation is designed for adults who are (or should be) concerned about protecting their families. Toby, obviously, cannot comprehend such advice. He cannot keep a distance from everybody else, or eat and wash in a separate room. We called 911, and the medic we spoke to agreed that the official guidance didn’t really apply to our situation.Indeed. Not much we can do. So, here we are, trapped within our four walls with a little baby infected with COVED-19, who continues to climb on us, spit in our faces, love us and hug us. It seems inevitable that we, and our elder son, are going to get COVID now. Not much we can do.My first reaction, after absorbing his diagnosis (诊断) , was to cook sausages. I didn’t even know that was my comfort food of choice. Perhaps an afternoon crisis would have caused a different cooking desire? Anyway, a full stomach helped me take stock. Yes, it may now be inevitable that we’re going to contract the very virus we’ve spent a year avoiding, but as long as we don’t contract it at the same time, then, hopefully, one or other of us will be available to look after our kids (thus answering my five-year-old’s most pressing concern: “...but who will make the pudding?”).So, to minimise asymptomatic transmission, we’ve opened all the windows. And we’ve decided to wear face coverings whenever we are with Toby. This decision has been insignificant to him -- I imagine he literally cannot remember life before masks—but for me, it’s distressing. I’ve become accustomed to wearing masks in supermarkets and coffee shops, of course, but to actually walk around with half my face covered in my own house is quite another matter—it is telling me that my home has been infected. That it’s no longer a safe space.And so it was, when I sat down to write this column, that I ended up writing about COVID, which is probably the last thing you wanted to read. Sorry about that. COVID has coloured mythoughts today, even though I know that my wife and children will be fine, and that really we should just be grateful we haven’t passed it on to my grandmother.I predict there will be more sausages in the morning.36．By repeating the sentence “Not much we can do” in paragraph 2, the writer implies that________.A．he feels annoyed B．he is really helplessC．he wants professional support D．he needs to keep a distance from Toby 37．According to the writer, what did sausages bring to him?A．Sadness.B．Appetite.C．Concern.D．Relief.38．Why did wearing masks at home cause distress to the writer?A．It discourages him from writing about COVID．B．It lets him remember the days before COVID-19.C．It is a reminder of what is happening to his family.D．It makes him feel at a loss for how to help his son.39．What can be concluded from the passage?A．The diagnosis leaves the writer’s family in a tough spot.B．The writer is sure that his other kids won’t contract the virus.C．Being infected with COVID-19 makes Toby in a bad mood.D．Sausages have long been considered by many to be comfort foodExperiment with Our FoodWant to cook up a delicious meal? It’s not just about the food. We chat to psychologist Prof. Charles Spence about the strange science of gastrophysics. What exactly is gastrophystcs?It’s a combination of ‘gastronomy (美食学)’ and ‘psychophysics’, which involves the scientific study of how our experience of food and drink is affected by our senses and our surroundings, not just the food itself. It’s a small but growing area of research which brings together psychologists, neuroscientists, marketeers, chefs, product designers, and even musicians. So what kinds of things can affect our sense of taste?Pretty much everything! From the colour and shape of the plates to the weight and material of the cutlery (餐具), through to the shape of the table and the feel of the chair you’re sitting on. Thenthere’s the number of people you’re with, the mood you’re in, the lighting and background music in the restaurant, and memories associated with the food. When you put all these factors together, it adds up a lot. What’s the most surprising way in which our taste can be influenced?It’s the idea of sonic seasoning’, which uses sounds to change the taste of food. You can add as much as 15 per cent extra sweetness, sourness, or bitterness to a food simply by playing the right sort of music. We’ve created music to enhance sweetness and bitterness, and we also have music for sour, and spicy foods. Working with the Michelin-starred chocolatier Dominique Persoone in Belgium, we even showed that if we played ‘creamy’ music in his stores we could add extra creaminess to his chocolate.Neuroscientists have found direct connections in the mouse brain between the senses of smell and sound, so it might be that this occurs in humans too. Sonic seasoning is already being used to enhance meals in fancy restaurants, but we could also see it being used to benefit health by, for example, playing ’sweet’ music so that we’re happy with less sugar in our food. What’s the most innovative use of gastrophysics you’ve seen?There’s a lot happening in the world of cutlery design. Heston Blumenthal’s restaurant The Fat Duck is currently serving a dish called Counting Sheep, which comes with a fluffy (毛茸茸的), weighted spoon that smells of baby powder, designed to enhance the eating experience. We’ve found that food tends to taste better with heavier cutlery -- possibly because we associate weight with quality.40．Which of the following statements is true of gastrophysics?A．It covers different subjects.B．It neglects food to some extent.C．It has been in existence for long.D．It is created by a psychophysicist. 41．According to Charles Spence, how can sonic seasoning be used to do good to our health?A．Helping us to be more resistant to the temptation to eat unhealthy food.B．Playing some music to make us feel our food is sweeter than It really is.C．Making experiments with mice to find out what food benefits our health.D．Training human brains to associate certain sounds with a particular flavour.42．Which of the following examples best illustrates the use of gastrophysics?A．A restaurant hires a psychologist to design its layout.B．A restaurant varies the sweetness of its food.C．A restaurant uses heavier plates to serve food.D．A restaurant asks its customers for suggestions.If you watch wolves, it’s hard to escape the conclusion that perhaps no two species are more alike behaviorally than wolves and humans. We can easily recognize the social structures in wolf packs. No wonder human males often face pressure to measure up as “alpha” males — to “wolf up,” as it were. The term alpha male implies a man who at every moment demonstrates that he’s in control in the home and who away from home can become aggressive.This alpha male stereotype (固定印象) comes from a misunderstanding of the real thing.“The main characteristic of an alpha male wolf,” the wolf researcher Rick McIntyre told me as we were watching gray wolves in Yellowstone National Park, “is a quiet confidence, quiet self-assurance.”The point is, alpha males are not aggressive. There is an evolutionary logic to it.“Imagine two wolf packs, or two human tribes,” McIntyre said. “Which is more likely to survive and reproduce: the one whose members are more cooperative, more sharing, less violent with one another, or the group whose members are beating each other up and competing with one another?”McIntyre has spent 20 years watching and studying wolves in Yellowstone for the National Park Service. He rises early, uses radio telemetry to locate a pack through a radio-collared pack member, then heads out with his spotting scope to observe the animals, keeping careful notes of their activities. In all that time, he has rarely seen an alpha male act aggressively toward the pack’s other members.This does not mean that alpha males are not tough when they need to be. One famous wolf in Yellowstone whose radio collar number, 21, became his name, was considered a “super wolf” by the people who closely observed the arc of his life. He was fierce in defense of family and apparently never lost a fight with a rival pack. Yet within his own pack, one of his favorite things was to wrestle with little wolves and to pretend to lose.One year, a pup was a bit sickly. The other pups seemed to be afraid of him and wouldn’t play with him. Once, after delivering food for the small pups, 21 stood looking around for something. Soon he started wagging his tail. He’d been looking for the sickly little pup, and hewent over just-to hang out with him for a while.Of all McIntyre’s stories about the super wolf, that’s his favorite. Strength impresses us. But kindness is what we remember best.43．What do people usually think of “alpha males”?A．They are the group of wolves that resemble humans most.B．They are dominant not only at home but also away from home.C．They are fond of fighting against pressure from opponents.D．They are a necessary part of humans’ social structures.44．McIntyre is quoted in paragraph 5 in order to ________.A．show alpha male wolves’ characteristic helps their packs surviveB．prove cooperative wolves are more likely to be alpha male wolvesC．stress that being willing to share is what wolves have in commonD．illustrate that an alpha male wolf is born to be tough and aggressive45．After a wolf pack gets a prey (猎物), what will an alpha male wolf most likely do?A．Compete with other pack members.B．Keep it in a place unknown to his pack.C．Wait until his pack has eaten and is full.D．Make sure that no pack member eats it alone. 46．It is 21’s ________ that will leave McIntyre and the writer a lasting impression.A．attack B．defense C．strength D．kindnessHow to Keep Your Digital Memories Safe?Do you value your digital stuff? Nearly everyone is creating things with computers, and some do it without any concern for its value. Others recognise its current value, but think little about what it could mean to them in the future, and either isn’t aware or doesn’t think that all of it could be destroyed tomorrow. But hard drives die all the time, and the online services into which people sink their time close with alarming regularity, taking the work of millions of people with it.47Here are the steps:1. Prepare to make a quick backup.If nothing else, get a cheap USB stick and drag-and-drop your documents folder onto it. Worry about the other things later. You should do more than this, but it’s most important to take the mostvaluable, irreplaceable information from your hard drive and put it on a second medium to guard against hard drive failure, theft or loss. 2. Decide what you value.Some questions to ask yourself are: How replaceable is this data? How good are you at assessing the value of items? 48 For things like business accounts and documents, the answer is of course you would. This kind of thing should be your first priority. 3. Start making backups.49 Diminishing returns (效益递减) apply in backups as they do with everything else. The cheapest and simplest backup methods take care of an overwhelming majority of likelyloss-of-stuff. Over-complicating your backup strategy is the biggest trap: the more complicated and expensive you insist on making it, the less likely you are to do it. 4. 50If one of your backup drives fails, replace it immediately. Remember that all storage devices eventually become obsolete (陈旧的). If you have valuable files on obsolete media, those files become increasingly difficult to access with every passing year. So in order to keep your files accessible, remember to migrate your collection to new storage media periodically.A．Keep an eye on your storage media.B．Organisation makes it easy to find your stuff later.C．Write down where you have important files.D．Would you care if this was deleted tomorrow?E．Remember something is better than nothing.F．Preserve your digital memories now, before it’s too late.五、语法填空51．The (create) of an efficient and sustainable transport system is critical. (所给词的适当形式填空)52．Moreover, my (short) of knowledge of foreign languages even held me back. (所给词的适当形式填空)53．It’s definitely wrong to take advantage of others’ (ignore) to reach your expected goal.

They are all free of charge.B.They all involve physical activities.C.They all take place during the daytime.D.They are all related to food and drinks.BMy breakout fashion moment happened in the fourth grade.On this particular day,I was really feeling myself.I pulled on wildly colorful tights(紧身衣)and a black ruffled(有褶边的) skirt,followed by a light green T-shirt with dark purple dots.Then I added my final touch …a pair of yellow rain boots.I climbed onto the school bus,smiling and feeling like a total star.But when I got off the bus,my friend John looked me up and down and said“What are you wearing!?”Everyone turned and looked at me,and I was discouraged.To be fair,John wasn't trying to be mean.He was just shocked.But while my ego(自尊)took a minute to recover,a rebellious(叛逆的)voice in the back of my mind said,“No,I'm not showing up like everyone else.”Style has always lit me up and felt key to my life on this planet.And through all my years, that little v oice has remained.“I'm not showing up like everyone else.”But the truth is, it isn't about clothes.It's about a powerful need to be accepted by the world as my true self Personal style isn't about being rebellious in order to draw attention.It is deeply rooted in a desire to be seen,not looked at,to be taken in as a whole and unique person by others.But somehow , society can fall short of honoring and understanding this.There is a saying that states,“To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you into something else is the greatest achievement.”When it comes to style and clothes,this world very much has ideas on the “something else”we should be.Wear the clothes you love.Let others do the same and accept the fact that in our short time here in this life together,it's a beautiful honor to be human kaleidoscopes(万花简).24.What does the underlined word“mean”in paragraph3 probably mean?A. Unkind.B.Anxious.C.Tough.D.Concerned.25.What is the main message the author wants to express about personal style?A. It is important to dress in a rebellious way to attract attention.B.Clothing choices are not important as long as one is true to oneself.C.Society would never approve and understand everyone's fashion choices.D.Personal style is rooted in the desire to be fully and uniquely seen by others.26.Why does the author quote a saying in Paragraph 6?A To argue readers into following the footsteps of the others.B.To prove it is challenging to stay true to oneself in today's society.C.To encourage readers to make continuous efforts to move forward.D To strengthen the idea that one should try to change himself to fit in.27.Which of the following is the best title for the text?A.A Unique Childhood Fashion IncidentB.The Importance of Being Different in FashionC.The Way to Create a Bold and Unique Fashion StyleD.The Journey of Self-Acceptance Through Personal StyleCWe are now having face-to-face chats with friends instead of talking online.But have you ever been in a conversation that you wish you could run away from? Scientists have proved that you might not be alone.A research team surveyed 806 participants(参与者)about a recent conversation they had with someone close to them. The participants were asked about the actual length and their expected length of the conversation, and how long they thought the other person wanted to talk for.About one-third of the conversation length was unwanted, according to the team's paper published in the journal PNAS.Also,more participants believed that they wanted to end the conversation first. On average,they continued talking for 3.87 minutes before they found that the other speaker wished the same thing.Situations are similar when it comes to strangers.Only about 1.6 percent of the conversations ended when both parties wanted them to.The paper pointed out that when they talk to strangers,what makes people “mask their desires”may.be their politeness. When talking to close friends and family, it may be their kindness as ending the chat too soon may hurt the other's feelings.So, what is the best way to end a conversation? Saying you only have a certain amount of time to talk at the start of the chat is a good place to start.“Remember conversations don't end because people don't know when the other person wants to go," Adam Mastroianni who led the study told the Inverse website.

People call this phenomenon autumn sadness.While autumn sadness is a common seasonal feeling we have as sunlight comes in shorter supply, for some people, it takes on a more serious form known as seasonal affective disorder, or SAD.SAD,a form of depression(抑郁症),mostly starts in late autumn or early winter and goes away in spring and summer. People who have SAD typically oversleep,overeat,and lose interest in activities they once enjoyed.Generally,almost all people suffering from SAD feel sad, helpless. and even desperate.The exact cause of SAD is not yet completely understood, but several factors have been linked to its development.Johns Hopkins University suggests that reduced exposure(接触)to natural light during the autumn and winter months may disrupt the body's internal clock and the hormones(荷尔蒙)produced,such as melatonin(褪黑素)and serotonin(血清素),which are related to sleep and emotions, respectively.This disruption can lead to depression.Addressing SAD often requires medical help.Light therapy is a common and effective treatment. Patients are advised to expose themselves to sunlight or man-made light that imitates natural sunlight Light therapy can help regulate patients’hormones and get their lives back on track.Moreover, living a healthier life,such as maintaining a regular sleep schedule, taking part in regular physical activity,and having a balanced diet, can help manage SAD.But it's also important that people seek help from a medical professional to determine the most suitable treatment plan for their specific needs.It is worth noticing that, according to the National Institute of Mental Health of the US,in most cases,SAD begins in young adulthood.So,while embracing(接受)knowledge in books and classes, don't forget to embrace the sunlight outdoors and get energy from nature!32.
