Usually strawberry season runs through April. This is entirely weather dependent, however.It's easy not to think much about the intelligence of insects. Small creatures with even smaller brains—how smart can they be? But as researchers begin to rethink how animals think, even insects are being seen in a newlight. Now a new study from the University or Bristol finds that Heliconius butterflies(蝴蝶) have the ability to learn about space.To test the butterflies’ spatial learning abilities, the researchers set up experiments across three different spatial levels, each reflecting behaviors significant to their natural environment. First, they checked if the butterflies could find food among 16 flowers in a small area. Next, they enlarged the space, seeing if the butterflies could choose the correct side of a larger maze(迷宫) for food. Finally, they used a big outdoor cage to see if the butterflies could find their way through a wide T-maze for food. The butterflies succeeded in all tests.The study's senior author, Dr. Stephen Montgomery, notes that these findings show the difficult behaviors that even familiar animals like butterflies exhibit as part of their natural ecology(生态). These species are processing diverse information from their environment and utilizing it to perform difficult tasks—all with brains just a few millimeters wide.The researchers plan to further investigate Heliconius butterflies’ spatial learning abilities by comparing them to closely related species that do not feed on pollen(花粉). This will help show how an animal's environment can affect the development of its thinking skills.Co-lead author Dr. Priscila Moura stresses the significance of these findings, saying that they provide actual evidence of the butterflies’ fascinating spatial learning abilities, a subject that has been discussed for nearly a century. With the new understanding, the researchers can continue to explore insect intelligence and behavior.24. What did the University of Bristol's study find about Hehiconius butterflies?A. They are capable of spatial learning.B. They require assistance in finding food.C. They can fly long distances without rest.D. They have a social circle like other insects.25. What does paragraph 2 mainly focus on?A. The research benefits.B. The research process.C. The research papers.D. The research team.26. What does the underlined word “utilizing” in paragraph 3 mean?A. Checking.B. Seeking.C. Judging.D. Using.27. What is Dr. Priscila Moura's attitude toward the findings?A. Doubtful.B. Puzzled.C. Supportive.D. Unclear.CAnimal lovers have long suspected that playing with pups is good for the mental and physical health, and now science has confirmed it — for students in particular.A new study done by researchers at the University of British Columbia concluded that the college students who spent time on drop-in dog therapy (治疗) sessions experienced an increase in feelings of wellness and a reduction in overall stress. The study, as reported by Science Daily, indicates that playing with pups is not only popular with the students, but also beneficial to their mental and physical health. This finding was seen across gender (性别).The study, published on March 12 in the journal Stress and Health, involved 246 students who were surveyed before and after they dropped by dog therapy sessions. The young participants were given free access to pet, hug and talk to 7 to 12 therapy dogs. Additionally, they filled out questionnaires right before and right after hanging with the dogs, as well as 10 hours later.According to researchers, these young adults experienced a notable increase in happiness, a significant reduction in stress and a flood of energy right after their sessions with the pups. Although the feelings of happiness and satisfaction weren’t long-lasting, researchers say these effects have clear, positive advantages.“These therapy sessions clearly provide benefits for students in the short term, so we think universities should try to schedule them during particularly stressful times, such as around exam periods,” Frances Chen, assistant professor of psychology at the University of British Columbia and the study’s senior author, told Science Daily. “Even having therapy dogs around while students are working on their out-of-class assignments could be helpful.”28. What can we infer from Paragraph 2?A. College students don’t like to play with pups.B. Playing with pups is not popular among college students.C. People, especially college students, are under great pressure.D. Playing with pups benefits males and females mentally and physically.29. What does the new study say about the pups?A. They are only good for college students.B. They are only beneficial to the students’ physical health.C. They can increase people’s feelings of happiness and satisfaction.D. They can create positive feelings that last very long.30. According to Frances Chen, universities should allow their students ______.A. to have therapy dogs around to avoid great stressB. to have therapy dogs around during each examC. to have therapy dogs around during their classD. to have therapy dogs around to achieve good grades31. What may be the best title for the text?A. Pups, best friends of humansB. Pups, therapies for studentsC. Animal lovers and pupsD. Pets keeping and the soulmean the difference between dignity and indignity?”A. He enjoys being alone.B. He has an innovative mind.C. He used to be a health worker.D.

Seeing an adult sounding out the words and linking them to the shapes on the page begins to build up vocabulary that they will use for the rest of their life.Then there are a variety of good effects of hearing stories which improve their minds anddevelop social awareness and skills. At a time when they are perhaps stuck indoors more than ever before, reading is the best way to motivate (激发) children’s imagination. They can travel to the moon, meet the Gruffalo and pop into a chocolate factory all before they’ve even had lunch!There’s no better way to walk a mile in someone else’s shoes than reading their stories and seeing things from another’s point of view is a great way to build empathy (共鸣), tolerance and other qualities needed. There are some fantastic children’s books which show characters acting as strong role models. These stories can encourage future leaders and thinkers, so every child can feel they can achieve their dreams, from the Little Leaders series to Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls (叛逆女孩).Now is the perfect time to build up a library of excellent reads ready for children to enjoy now and in the future. They will create memories to last a lifetime. On top of the benefits for your little ones, it’．s fun, relaxing and a great chance to go back and reread the best books from your own childhood.8．What kind of people is the text written for?A．Parents.B．Children.C．Teachers.D．Leaders.9．What does the underlined phrase “pop into” in paragraph 3 probably mean?A．Start.B．Visit.C．Build.D．Leave.10．In which way does Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls do good to children?A．Going to bed easily at bedtime.B．Building good qualities.C．Building a strong body.D．Bringing back sweet memories.11．What is the text mainly about?A．Children’s reading habits.B．Children’s reading materials.C．Benefits of reading to children.D．Ways of reading children’s books.Many people believe that you lose the ability to learn new languages as you get older. Language experts, however, will tell you that you're never too old to learn a new language. As youget older, it can be more difficult to learn a new language, though.Children and adults learn new languages in different ways. For children, language is their life. They study for thousands of hours every year, because they need to learn languages to become part of their communities. Adults, on the other hand, are already part of a language community. Learning a new language means becoming part of another language community, and adults rarely get the chance to practise as much as young children do.Moreover, children learning a new language are expected to make mistakes. This gives them freedom when learning to be daring and confident. Adults, however, often feel pressured to be perfect when learning a new language. This can discourage many people and make it even harder to learn a new language.When young children learn a new language, they come to see various languages as a “normal” part of society. This mindset helps them embrace learning a new language without feeling like they're doing something unusual or “too hard”．So if you want to learn a new language, go for it! It's never too late to learn a new language. If you're older, it may take more work, but it can be done. If you're a young child, though, now is the time to step out and learn a new language!12．By saying “language is their life” in Paragraph 2, the author means that children ________．A．can't live without language B．lead a happy life every dayC．practise a new language a lot D．are taken good care of by adults13．What may make it hard for the old people to learn a new language?A．They are afraid of being laughed at.B．They usually have too many interests.C．They think making mistakes is natural.D．They always make different kinds ofmistakes.14．Which of the following shows the difference between children and adults in learning a new language?A．The behaviour they have.B．The learning attitudes.C．The future plans they have made.D．The materials they are using. 15．According to the author, a new language ________．A．can never be learnt by the old people B．can be grasped by the old people easilyC．can be understood only by the old people D．can be learnt by both the old and the youngWe all experience stress(压力) at some point. 16No one can “make” you feel anything.The way you deal with a situation is a choice. You can ask yourself “Is this something I can change?” 17 If the situation cannot be changed, accept it and find ways to deal with it. In this way, stress can be greatly reduced.Exchange attitude for gratitude(感恩).Our attitude has a big influence on how we deal with situations. 18 Instead of being angry about the traffic, find some gratitude. Think of things you can be thankful for.Relax, relax, relax.19 It will help you relax and make you better prepared to deal with stressful situations.20Look at your stressful situation from a “big picture” point of view. Ask yourself “How important is this?”and “Will this matter in the long run?” If the answer is no, it’s likely not worth your time and energy.A．Look at the big picture.B．Did you find what is best for you?C．Stress is different from person to person.D．If so, start doing something to change the situation.E．When you are stuck in traffic, change your attitude.F．Try to find something that you enjoy and do it every day.G．Here are four points to consider when dealing with stressful situations.二、完形填空Afraid to have a start, I was walking slowly into my first school in America.

They often talked of opening their own store one day.When Mary was hospitalized with heart trouble in 1989, they decided it was time to get serious. Richard, who worked for a business company, was eager (渴望的) to work for himself, and Mary needed to slow down from her demanding (很费劲的) job.They started by talking to bookstore owners and researching the industry. “We knew it had to be a specialty store because we couldn’t match the big chains dollar for dollar,” says Mary. One figure (数字) caught her attention: She’d read somewhere that about 20 percent of books sold were mysteries (推理小说), and many buyers spent more than $300 a year on books. She and Richard were themselves mystery readers.On Halloween 1992, they opened the Mystery Lovers Bookshop and Café near their home. With three children in college, the couple could not spend all the family’s money to start a shop. To cover the $100,000 cost, they drew some of their savings, borrowed from relatives (亲戚) and from a bank.The store merely broke even in its first year, with only $120,000 in sales. But Mary was always coming up with new ways to attract customers (吸引顾客). The shop had a coffee bar and it offered gifts to mystery lovers and served dinners for book clubs that met in the store. She also invited dozens of writers to discuss their stories.Today Mystery Lovers makes sales of about $420,000 a year. After paying taxes, business costs and the six part-time sales clerks (店员), Richard and Mary together earn (赚) about $34,000.“The job you love may not go hand in hand with a million-dollar income,” says Richard. “This has always been about an enjoyable life for ourselves, not about makinga lot of money.”12. When Mary was in hospital, the couple realized that .A. they had to put their plan into practiceB. health was more important than wealthC. heart trouble was a serious illnessD. they both needed to stop working13. After Mary got well from her illness ,they began .A. to study industrial managementB. to buy and read more mystery booksC. to do market research on book businessD. to work harder to save money for the bookstore14. How did their bookstore do in the first year?A. They had to borrow money to keep it going.B. They made just enough to pay all the costs.C. They succeeded in earning a lot of money.D. They failed though they worked hard.15. According to Richard, the main purpose of running the bookstore is .A. to pay for their children’s educationB. to get to know more writersC. to set up more bookstoresD. to dowhat they like to do其次节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）依据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

As the father of a student, I have e_perienced first hand what a great teacher is. My son was in the 4th grade last year, and he had a teacher called Miss Green. I believe that when he is an adult he will surely look back on her as the best teacher he has ever had.My son has attention deficit disorder(注意力缺损症) that makes it a little more difficult for him to learn. She was able to change her teaching methods for him so that he could keep up with the rest of the class. As a result, he got straight As on many subjects. She regarded her class as a family and they even had their own class song. She would often have them sing it to encourage them and develop a team spirit for them. When she saw that they were no longer listening carefully to what she was teaching, she would have them close their te_tbooks, stand up all around the room and throw around a small football. This helped them clear their minds and then focus on the lesson again. Besides, she was quick to reply to anyphone calls or emails from us and got rid of our worries about children quickly.When my son went to the 5th grade this year, we happened to pass her classroom. When she saw my son, she smiled, and she came out and hugged him. She generally loves all of the children in her classroom and that love really shows. I can only pray that my son will continue to get teachers just like her for the rest of his school years._. With the teacher’s help, the writer’s son ______.A. became the best student in his classB. was interested in singing songsC. quickly finished his 4th grade lessonsD. improved his grades greatly_. Which of the following is NOT true about Miss Green?A. She regarded the students as members of a family.B. She had special ways to help students study.C.

Miss Green didn’t teach the writer’s son in the 5th gradeB. Miss Green was the best teacher at the schoolC. all the students in the school liked Miss GreenD. the writer’s son had many teachers like Miss Green24. In the passage, the writer mainly tells us ______.A. what his son studied at schoolB. his son once had a good teacherC. how to be a good and popular teacherD. a teacher who liked playing with studentsMy husband, my four-month-old daughter and I set out on a five-day driving journey from California to Washington. We had to stop frequently because our little child needed to stretch from the car seat.One of our stops, once we crossed the Oregon border, was at a Black Bear Diner. Walking towards the front door we noticed a gentleman standing at one side. He was clearly untidy, without shoes and wearing worn clothing. We passed right by him and opened the restaurant door. Then something told me to go back.Holding my daughter, I tur ned around and said to the gentleman, “Sir. Are you hungry?” He said, “Yes.” I then asked, “May we b uy you something t o eat?” He responded with, “Sure, I can order something myself.”My husband opened the door and the gentleman went straight to the counter.I told him to order whatever he wanted. The manager of the restaurant came over quite quickly and looked frightened. I s poke before he had an opportunity to. “This gentleman will have lunch with us today,” I said. “Please add his order to our bill.” T he manager said with a frown(皱眉), “Okay.” We turned to our table and the g entleman said, loudly and quic kly, “Thank You!” We were seated and upon completing our meal we were handed our bill. I asked my husband what the gentleman had ordered. One fresh orange juice, one coffee, one breakfast combination with a side of hash browns.When we left the restaurant I looked for the gentleman but didn’t see him, but that very small act just made my day. I hope in some small way we were able to add some joy to his life, even if only for a few minutes.25. From the appearance of the gentleman, we can guess he was probably a(n) _____.A. waiterB. actorC. beggarD. worker26. The manager of the restaurant looked frightened because _____.A. the man was not f riendlyB. the man had stolen something from the restaurantC. he had fired the man beforeD. he was afraid the man wouldn’t afford to pay the food27. From the passage, we can infer the man _____.A. was thankful for their kind actB. felt ashamed and slipped awayC. was hungry and ate a lot of foodD. was too proud to accept their offer28. The phrase “made my day” in the last paragraph probably means ______.A. wasted my moneyB. made me very happyC. made me feel sorryD. moved me deeplyIf you have a chance to go to Finland, you will probably be surprised to find how “foolish” the Finnish people are.Take the ta_i drivers for e_ample. Ta_is in Finland are mostly high-class Benz with a fare of two US dollars a kilometer. You can go anywhere in one, tell the driver to drop you at any place, say that you have some business to attend to, and then walk off without paying your fare. The driver would not show the least sign of an_iety.The dining rooms in all big hotels not only serve their guests, but also serve outside diners. Hotel guests have their meals free, so they naturally go to the free dining rooms to have their meals. The most they would do to show their good faith is to wave their registration card to the waiter. With such a loose check, you can easily use any old registration card to take a couple of friends to dine free of charge.The Finnish workers are paid by the hour. They are very much on their own as soon as they have agreed with the boss on the rate(价钱). From then on, they just say how many hours they have worked and they will be paidaccordingly(相应地).With so many loopholes(漏洞) in everyday life, surely Finland must be a heaven to those who love to take “petty advantages”. But the strange thing is, all the ta_i passengers would always come back to pay their fare after they have attended to their business; not a single outsider has ever been found in the free hotel dining rooms. And workers always give an honest account of the e_act hours they put in. As the Finns always act on good faith in everything they do, living in such a society has turned everyone into a real “gentleman”.In a society of such high moral practice, what need is there for people to be on guard against others?29. While taking a ta_i in Finland, _____.A. a passenger can go anywhere without having to pay the driverB. a passenger pays two US dollars for a ta_i rideC. a passenger can never be turned down by the ta_i driver wherever he wants to goD. a passenger needs to provide good faith demonstration (证明) before leaving without paying30. We know from the passage that big hotels in Finland ________.A. are mostly poorly managedB. provide meals for any dinersC. provide free wine and charge for foodD. provide meal for only those who live in the hotels31. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. The workers in Finland are paid by the hour.B. The workers are always honest with their working hours.C. The workers and their bosses will make an agreement in advance about the pay.D. The bosses in Finland are too busy to check the working hours of their employees.32. The word “those” in t he last but one paragraph probably refers to _____.A. people who are dishonestB. people who often have meals in big hotelsC. people who often take ta_isD. people who are worthy of trustWhen we talk about intelligence, we do not mean the abil ity to get good scores in certain kinds of tests or even the ability to do well in school. By intelligence we mean a way of living and behaving, especially in a new or an_ious situation. If we want to test intelligence, we need to find out how a person acts instead of how much he knows what to do.For e_ample, when in a new situation, an intelligent person thinks about the situation, not about himself or what might happen to him. He tries to find out all he can, and then he acts immediately and tries to do something about it. He probably isn’t sure how it will all work out, but at least he tries. And, if he can’t make things work out right, he doesn’t feel ashamed that he fails; he just tries to learn from his mistakes. An intelligent person, even if he is very young, has a special outlook(人生观) on life, special feeling about life, and knows how he fits into it.If you look at children, you’ll see great difference between what we call “bright” children and “not bright” children. They are actually two different kinds of people, not just the same kind with different amounts of intelligence. For e_ample, the bright child really wants to find out more about life --- he tries to get in touch with everything around him. But the unintelligent child keeps more to himself and h is own dream-world; he seems to have a wall between him and life in general.33. What’s the main idea of the passage?A. What’s real meaning of intelligenceB. What’s the “bright” children’s behaviorC. What’s a special outlook on lifeD. How to live and behave in a new situation349. In the author’s opinion the biggest difference between “bright” children and “not bright” children lies in ____________.A. the amount of intelligenceB. the different situations they faceC. the different attitudes to lifeD. the background of life35. What might the author continue to talk about in the passage that follows?A. how to determine what intelligence isB. how an unintelligent person should be taughtC. how to judge whether a person is intelligentD. how education should be changed第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共_分）根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑，选项中有两项为多余选项。

Then pick five Yin postures to hold for3-5minutes,or even longer if you are enjoying them!As ever with yoga,if you are a beginner or have health issues,always attend a class with a trained instructor first to guide you safely through the yoga practice and avoid injury.12.What can be inferred from paragraph1?A.Most of our sports time should be spent on Yin Yang yoga.B.We’d better devote as much time to physical exercise as we can.C.Busy schedule makes it impossible for us to do any form of sports.D.Yin Yang yoga can be a choice of physical exercise when we are busy.13.What does the underlined word“complementary”probably mean in the second paragraph?A.Independent from one another.petitive against one another.C.Similar to each other but unable to work together as a whole.D.Different from each other but together making a good combination.14.Which of the following might be the advantage of Yin postures?A.Relaxing muscles.B.Building stamina.C.Strengthening the body.D.Quickening the heartbeat.15.What suggestion does the writer give in the last two paragraphs?A.Hold each Yin posture for longer than5minutes.B.Do not practice yoga when you are not in good health.C.Start your yoga practice with an expert trainer.D.Spare half an hour for five Yin postures in every yoga practice.第二节：七选五（共5小题，每小题2.5分，共12.5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。

She completed much of her first work, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone in a poor situation, often planning out her chapters in cafes near her small apartment in Edinburgh.Before penning the Harry Potter books, Rowling’s life was one of struggle and loss. Her mother died in 1990 because of the multiple sclerosis(多发性硬化症). Her first marriage ended just three years later. Unable to find work, Rowling struggled to support herself and her daughter on State Aid. Her financial conditions would not change until the late 1990s, when the Harry Potter series became a success beyond all expectations. Aided by the Scottish Arts Council, Rowling was able to complete her first novel, but primary encouragement from publishers was actually non-existent. She was told to find a day job, and the UK publisher, Bloomsbury, firstly published only 1,000 copies of the novel, titled in the UK as Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone.Within a half year of its publication in 1997, the novel achieved its first award, the Nestle Smarties Book Prize. A few months later, it received the British Book Award for Best Children’s book of the year. In 1998, Scholastic purchased(购买)publication rights, and Rowling, now on her third payment of the series, was enjoying great success.The popularity of the series has made Rowling the most popular children’s author ever. Both adults and children who show great interest in the books are eager for the publisher’s next payment for Harry’s adventures.Queen Elizabeth II honored Rowling in 2000, titling her as an Officer of the Order of the British Empire. She remarried in 2001, to Dr.Neil Murray, with whom she has two children. In her public life, she devotes time to causes dear to her, including supporting Amnesty International and funding research on a medical treatment for multiple sclerosis.4．How did Rowling make a living before the late 1990s?A．By receiving government support.B．By depending on her husband.C．By working in a cafe near her home.D．By writing articles for local publishers.5．What does the underlined word “support” mean ?A．Encourage sb. by saying or showing you agree .B．Provide everything necessary so that sb. can live or exist.C．Be ready to give help.D．Hold sb. in place.6．What can we infer from the last paragraph?A．Rowling works for the British royal family.B．Rowling suffers from multiple sclerosis.C．Rowling has done much for public charity.D．Rowling stays single till now.7．What main message does the author tell us with the story?A．J.

Since 2012. he has used his love of photography for a good cause: protecting wildlife. As more and more animal species began to disappeer from Kandal Province, he grew worried. So he created a photo project which he hoped would bring more attention to the loss of natural habitats in Cambodia.He hopes to educate Cambodians about the importance of bird species and the effect they have on nature. He said, “The biggest issue is the damage to habitats and poaching".Besides that, it is due to the demand from the rich who desire wild meat and who consider wild meat chemical-free.His photography work has shown “how lack of education and law enforcemen” makes the problem worse. Hunting is at the root of Cambodian culture.“Education is very limited,” he said. “And in terms of legal enforcement, only one organization is standing out, and that is the Wildlife Alliance.” He noted that the group had carried out a number of successful crackdowns against hunting. But there were few major campaigns on wildlife hunting.as a whole.Protected areas within forests have disappeared at the same rate as forests in other parts of the country Poaching and hunting have led to the loss of animal and plant species in Cambodia.To Chantha Nasak, a wildlife expert, the damage to wildlife habitats is the main reason for the decrease in the number of wild animals.He says the destruction of forests and the use of land for agricultural and other purposes are the biggest threats, as well as the climate change.However. there are already agreements between some NGOs and the Cambodian government to help wild species. Also. Chantha Nasak says some communities are working together to protect wildlife around the country.“All Cambodian citizens should join hands in the protection of wildlife, not just the NGOs and the government,” he said. “It should be everyone.”12．What problem did Suy meet in his photography work?A．Cambodians have a poor knowledge of protecting wildlifeB．Cambodians are lacking their culture of huntingC．Cambodians like major campaigns on hunting wildlifeD．Cambodians have limited education about hunting.13．Why do the rich find wild meat in Cambodia?A．It contains high nutrition.B．It is free of chemieals.C．It tastes delicious and fresh.D．It is a symbol of social positions. 14．What is the main factor in leading to the decrease in wild animalsChantha thinks? A．the climate change B．the wild meat tradeC．the damage to wildlife habitats D．the still-not-prohibited hunting 15．What is the main idea of the text?A．A Cambodian is teaching the hunting culture.B．A photographer has a good knowledge of wildlife.C．A photographer is struggling with poachersD．A Cambodian photographer urges to protect wildlife二、七选五Phone addiction has a number of negative effects. Here are some ways to remove it.In order not to look at your phone as soon as you wake up in the morning, place your phone in another room or your coat pocket. Then spend at least the first 30 minutes of your day building good habits. 16Studies show that on average we use the phone 50 to 150 times a day. 17 You could do some reading, do a crossword puzzle or even something as simple as a walk in the yard—anything helping you get rid of your phone is OK.One of the main problems with smart phones is that you worry if you don’t check your phone regularly, you may miss out on something important, such as invitations to events or work emails. 18 When someone has something important to tell you, they may give you a call. Therefore, it is OK to stay away from your phone sometimes.What’s going on in the real world, right in front of you, is almost always more important than what is happening online. Put away your phone when you are with someone important.19 For example, having dinner with friends will become awkward if you always check your phone.20 That is because being addicted to the phone before going to bed greatly influences your sleep. This can harm your physical and mental health in the long run. Therefore, make it a rule to stop using your phone an hour before you go to sleep.A．Ask your friends or family for help.B．However, it is almost never the case.C．Your smart phone has almost every tool that you need.D．So you should do something meaningful to avoid looking at it.E．A good rest should be more important than your phone at night.F．This could be exercise like a morning run or cooking a good breakfast.G．Many relationships have suffered because of our addiction to the phone.三、完形填空asked, “You can’t see these flowers. 25 are you busy taking care of them every day?”The old man smiled and said, “I can tell you four 26 .

At some point, we all wonder if we need a hero and what a hero really is.Although there are a lot of differences in cultures, heroes around the world generally share a number of characteristics (特点) which give us courage and make us want to learn from them.A hero does something worth talking about. A hero has a special story to tell and people think highly of it. But a hero is not just the person with great fame (声誉) .A hero has powers (力量) larger than himself. Some people want to live like a hero, and they have to experience life with new and further meaning. A sure test for would-be heroes is what or whom they serve. What do they want to live and die for? If the answer suggests they serve only their own fame, they may be famous persons but not heroes.A hero has a vision from the mountaintop. He has the power to move people. He creates new possibilities. Without Gandhi, India might still be part of Britain. Without Martin Luther King, Jr., Americans might take different buses, eat in different restaurants, go for walks in different parks, and shop in different stores because of the different colors of their skin.There might be changes in society without a hero, but the speed of change would be rather slow. Thanks to heroes in history, they make the society develop so rapidly.1．According to this passage, a hero is a person who always .A．gives us courage B．thinks highly of othersC．shares great fame D．stands on the mountaintop2．If you want to live like a hero, you should .A．experience a new and meaningful life B．listen to something worth talking aboutC．serve your own fame and try to be famous D．know where and how you want to live3．The underlined word “vision” in the passage means “”.A．风景B．想象C．远见D．形象4．Black people in America used to before Martin Luther King, Jr.A．shop at the white’s stores B．take buses with the whiteC．take walks in the white’s parks D．eat in restaurants without the white5．What can we learn from the passage?A．We don’t need heroes anymore at some point now.B．Heroes are all the same though different in cultures.C．People get power from heroes to move to a new place.D．Our society has developed faster because of heroes in history.B14、阅读理解.1．（小题1）You can choose Tour 1 to ______.A．take a look at the kitchenB．see a movieC．visit the largest guest houseD．experience the Castle at night2．（小题2）If a father takes Tour 2 with his 3-year-old son, how much will they pay?

We have a short-term memory and a long-term memory. When we get old, our short-term memory becomes weaker, but we can still remember things that happened a long time ago. There are many things we can do to improve our memory, such as using various memorizing methods as well as taking special care of our health.It is important that we regularly stimulate(刺激) our brain to make our memory more efficient(有效). For example, we can do activities that we do not usually do and change our daily habits. Learning a new skill helps our brain develop. When trying to memorize something, we should focus our attention on the most important things about it. Do not allow other thoughts to enter our mind because this will lower our chances of remembering things correctly.One basic way of improving our memory is to use the link method. If we want to memorize something, we should make a picture in our mind. If the picture is silly, strange and colourful, we will remember it better.Taking notes, being organized and keeping a diary will also be useful tools.Sometimes, memory is connected with our feelings. When something dramatic happens, we usually remember it well, and we also remember where we were and what we were doing.Healthy food and plenty of vitamins are important to our memory. Drinking a lot of water also helps maintain our memory.When we are asleep, our brain stores memory. Not enough sleep can, therefore, cause problems with storing information. In addition, being tired will stop us from being able to remember well. As a result, keeping fit and having regular health checks are both important as well.1．How does people’s memory change when they get older?A．The short-term memory becomes stronger.B．The short-term memory becomes weaker.C．The long-term memory becomes stronger.D．The long-term memory becomes weaker.2．According to the passage, which of the following CANNOT be remembered better in a short time?A．A strange insect.B．A colourful letter.C．A dramatic event.D．A boring talk.3．When people try to remember the word ‘smiles’, an easy way to do this is to imagine there is a ‘mile’ between the first letter and the last letter. This is because they .A．use the link methodB．connect it with feelingsC．have a good restD．take some notes4．What SHOULD people do when they try to make their memory more efficient?A．Always do the same things and never change their daily habits.B．Memorize something while listening to music or watching TV.C．Keep other ideas out of their mind when focusing attention.D．Sleep at most 6 hours a day and drink a lot of coffee or tea.5．What’s t he best title of this passage?A．How to Use Memory ToolsB．How to Keep Long-term MemoryC．How to Improve Our MemoryD．How to Stay HealthyE17、“Yangzhou is wonderful! The teahouse is a popular place for local people to treat their important visitors…”This poem of the Qing Dynasty describes the comfortable life of living in Yangzhou. In Yangzhou, various snacks and refreshments(茶点) make each morning a pleasant one.For many years, Y angzhou snacks and refreshments have been well known for their great variety with different fillings and elegant shape. By the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Yangzhou city was praised as “a place whose pastry(糕点) shops were the finest under heaven”. Listening to A Hundred Tunes while Enjoying the View of Jiangnan talks of Huaiyang snacks, “Huaiyang snacks and refreshments are known for a perfect mixture of freshness and sweetness. Huaiyang snacks in Yangzhou won high praise from both at home and abroad.Among the famous masters making Huaiyang snacks and desserts during the middle of the Qing Dynasty, the most celebrated was Beauty Shaw in Yizheng country. The snacks she made were said to be as valuable as gold. Yuan Mei, afamous Qing-dynasty writer , wrote in his book The Menu of Sui Garden: “Outside the south gate of Yizheng country liv es Beauty Shaw, who is an expert in making snacks and desserts.” She is also regarded as one of the top ten masters of ancient China. Yin Changshan, Zhang Guangqing, Dong De’an, Chen Ende and many others are reputed as modern masters. Take Chen Ende for example. He mixed his idea with the traditional cooking skills and recreated the snacks in the Red Mansion Banquet style, which is designed to present the theme and background of A Dream of the Red Mansions(红楼梦).These masters have been abroad many times to show their skills in making Huaiyang-style pastry. With their efforts, Huaiyang-style pastry has become popular at high speed and is showing its charm to the world. The pastry of Fuchun Teahouse is the most outstanding one.1．This passage is most probably taken from .A．children’s magazineB．a personal diaryC．a short-story collectionD．an introduction to tourist attractions2．What does the underlined word “celebrated” mean in Paragraph 3?A．beautiful B．well-knownC．important D．serious3．Which of the statements is true according to the passage?2-1-c-n-j-yA．Y angzhou snacks were famous for their great variety and elegant shapeB．Huaiyang snacks in Yangzhou won high praise only from China.C．Beauty Shaw is considered as one of the top ten masters of modern China.D．These masters have been abroad to show their skills to earn much money.4．After the last paragraph, what is the writer likely to talk about next?A．A Dream of the Red MansionsB．Chen Ende’s cooking skillC．Fuchun TeahouseD．Other masters one by one.F18、My name is Liu Ying .

As a young girl, she dreamed of becoming a flight attendant and traveling the world, so she learned at least three languages. Although she was not able to become a flight attendant, Sadikova could speak Uzbek, Russian, English and Turkish. Sadikova has never traveled abroad but reports feeling connected to people around the world.American Trina Bright worked in education for nearly 25 years and she traveled to many countries, including China and South Africa. Bright used stories from her travels to help her students in the U.S. understand their place in the world and see value in their own cultures. But Bright, unlike Sadikova, does not report feeling connected to people around the world.Bright is not alone. Pew Research Center recently asked people in 24 countries a series of questions about how connected they feel to the world to see how travel experience relates to feelings of connectedness.The study found that respondents （调查对象）who had traveled to at least one other country feel more connected to people around the world . 99 percent of respondents in the Netherlands reported having visited at least one other country and 77 percent of respondents from the Netherlands said they feel at least somewhat close to people all over the world. But international travel does not always mean a person feels a closeness to people around the world. 99 percent of Swedish respondents said they had visited at least one other country. Yet a much smaller number of Swedish respondents-47 percent - report feeling close to people all over the world.Sadikova said she felt connected to the world because of media, which makes it quite easy to get to know events and news.4. Why did Saodat Sadikova learn several languagesA. To move abroad.B. To broaden her view.C. To connect to the world.D. To achieve her flying dream.5. What benefit did Trina Bright get from her travelsA. She improved her education.B. She applied them to herteaching.C. She understood the value of culture.D. She could speak a foreign language.6. What did the Pew research focus onA. How people get to know the world.B. Why people enjoy international travel.C. How people feel connected to the world.D. Why travel influences the connection of people.7. What can we learn from paragraph 4A. The result of the research.B. The aim of the research.C. The method of the research.D. The process of the research.CIf you thought that your child’s academic performance is based simply on the number of hours spent on studying, you are wrong. Good grades are a result of multiple factors, everything from the child’s brains to the environment they are in. And one of the major, mostly ignored, influencing factor is physical health. Physical activity and health ac tually can improve a person’s ability to learn. According to the National Academy of Medicine, exercise can improve a child’s cognitive abilities, health, and academic performance significantly.According to a study by the University of British Columbia, regularaerobic exercise betters the functioning of the hippocampus, the area of the brain involved in learning and memory. Other forms of exercise like balance exercises, muscle exercises, and resistance training did not have the same result on the brain.The effect of exercise on memory and thinking is both direct and indirect. Directly, regular exercise gives the ability to increase the release of growth factors. These growth factors are chemicals in the brain that affect the growth of new blood vessels, the health of brain cells, as well as the survival of new brain cells. On the other hand, getting enough exercise will improve sleep quality and mood. It will also reduce stress and anxiety.It is believed that the benefits of exercise during the school day are greater than those coming from increasing class time. Furthermore, the greatest cognitive benefits from physical education have been seen to come about when physical education was given either in the first half of the day or midday rather than at the end of the day. In order to get the children moving, rest time, PE classes, biking or walking to school should be promoted（推动）. Activities like after-school sports that used to be held at school should be restarted. Physical activity should not be seen as a dispensable choice but as an important educational concern.8. Which of the following exercises is best for learning and memoryA. Regular aerobic exercise.B. Balance exercise.C. Muscle exercise.D. Resistance training.9. How does exercise influence thinking indirectlyA. By releasing growth factors in large numbers.B. By influencing the growth of new blood vessels.C. By affecting the survival of new brain cells.D. By improving a person ' s mood and sleep quality.10. What does the underlined word " dispensable " mean in the last paragraphA. Unique.B. Unnecessary.C. Unusual.D. Universal.11. What is the passage mainly aboutA. Mental health should never be ignored.B. Physical education class is really a good option.C. Exercise may bring about good academic grades.D. Different exercises have different results on the brain.DThe planet is in trouble, and a gas-car ban just might help. But how will it affect you Cars are not small investments. They make a big impact on our wallets--but also on t he environment. That’s why when California announced a gas-car ban in August and other states suggested they’d follow suit, there was a mixed response. Sure, reducing our use of gas by choosing more eco - friendly carscould slow climate change and help everyone live more sustainably, not to mention save money on gas in the long run. But what would happen to people 's cars Would they have to buy an expensive new electric vehicle right nowWell, let's set a few things straight first: This isn't a full - on ban. People living in or visiting California will still be able to drive gas cars, as well as buy and register used internal combustion engines (ICE) vehicles, well after the law takes effect. But in a little over a decade, residents will not be allowed to register new gas - burning cars. It will take more than a decade for the ban to take effect fully -2035, to be exact.Why is California banning gas cars It ' s all about the environment. More than half of California ' s carbon pollution comes from the transportation sector, and eliminating ICE vehicles is a critical first step in addressing the climate crisis. California has seen the impact of climate change firsthand in the form of natural disasters such as floods, mudslides, record - breaking droughts and extreme wildfires, all of which have increased in frequency and intensity in recent years.However, new rules and laws can be fearsome, and hard to carry out at first. For example, electric vehicles (EVs) also don ' t get as many miles per charge, making them difficult for long - distancetrips and states with few charging stations. Related to that, the country needs more public charging stations. But, of course, the biggest barrier to more people getting excited about electric vehicles is price, which is currently higher than traditional vehicles due to their expensive batteries.Still, Rauch is hopeful." As someone who is focused on the health benefits of reducing pollution, I see the benefits as vastly outweighing the challenges," she says." At the end of the day, who doesn't want their children and grandchildren to breathe clean air "12. What ' s people ' s attitude towards the gas - car banA. They were totally indifferent to it.B. They held mixed opinions towards it.C. They had a flood of complaints about it.D. They thought highly of it and welcomed it.13. Why did California decide to ban gas carsA. To prevent natural disasters from happening.B. To deal with the severe transportation problem.C. To ease the influence of serious climate change.D. To follow the example of other states with gas - car ban.14. Which is NOT a possible disadvantage of EVsA. Limited miles per charge.B. Limited charging stations.C. Higher prices at present.D. More carbon pollution.15. Where might this text be taken fromA. A magazine.B. A textbook.C. A biography.D. A research report. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2. 5分, 满分12. 5分）阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

广东省揭阳市普宁国贤学校2023-2024学年高一上学期第一次月考英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解Dear Daisy,Phew! I’m so glad the day is over. I’m really tired, but my first day at school went well.First of all, we met outside the school building. I was very nervous because my primary school only had 300 pupils but in the middle school there are about 1,300. What a difference! The older pupils are really big. I felt so small waiting there in front of the school.The head teacher came out and told us to go into the school hall. Then he called our names out to tell us which class we were in. My class teacher is called Mrs Black. She took us to our classroom. It’s on the 5th floor. We aren’t allowed to use the lift! I couldn’t believe it.We spent all morning with Mrs Black looking at our timetables. Everyone in the school had a different timetable. I’m worried that I’ll forget my timetable and go to the wrong room.Lunchtime was OK. I had salad, fish and fruit, which was quite good, and then I went to play football with some of the other boys. They were all friendly and I don’t think it will take me long to make friends.After lunch we started lessons. I had maths and then history, where we started to learn about ancient Greece. That looked interesting. I have to do some homework tonight to find out how the ancient Greek people lived, so I’m going to do an Internet search and look it up in the library.So far so good. I am quite looking forward to tomorrow, even though I’ve got science. I hate science!Yours,Jason 1．Why did the head teacher come?A．To give the pupils a timetable.B．To tell the pupils which class they were in.C．To show the pupils how to use the lift.D．To take the pupils to their classrooms.2．What can we learn from the passage?A．Jason didn’t realize the new school was smaller than his primary school.B．Jason was lucky enough to have someone else in the same class.C．Jason thought it unbelievable, for they are not allowed to use the lift.D．Jason didn’t think the boys were friendly when playing football.3．How did Jason feel on the first day of his new school?A．Terrible.B．Disappointed.C．Worried.D．Good.In the mid-1990s, Tom Bissell taught English as a volunteer in Uzbekistan. He left after seven months, physically broken and having lost his mind. A few years later, still attracted to the country, he returned to Uzbekistan to write an article about the disappearance of the Aral Sea.His visit, however, ended up involving a lot more than that. Hence this book, Chasing the Sea: Lost Among the Ghosts of Empire in Central Asia, which talks about a road trip from Tashkent to Karakalpakstan, where millions of lives have been destroyed by the slow drying up of the sea. It is the story of an American travelling to a strange land, and of the people he meets on his way: Rustam, his translator, a lovely 24-year-old who picked up his colorful English in California, Oleg and Natasha, his hosts in Tashkent, and a string of foreign aid workers.This is a quick look at life in Uzbekistan, made of friendliness and warmth, but also its darker side of society. In Samarkand, Mr Bissell admires the architectural wonders, while on his way to Bukhara he gets a taste of police methods when suspected of drug dealing. In Ferghana, he attends a mountain funeral(葬礼)followed by a strange drinking party.
