AWhen I came to Cincinnati (a city in the US) as an au pair (家庭打工留学生), a lot of things there were different from what I knew. My host family lived in a huge house I could only describe as a “castle”. In Germany I had lived in a small apartment together with my mom. Soon I found out that the “castle” was actually rather small in our neighborhood.Everybody there was very friendly and polite. They greeted you when they were walking by at least 3 feet away from you. They must not have seen a German au pair before, for most people I met asked me all kinds of questions about Germany. I enjoyed answering their various strange questions. I made a lot of friends and I started to hang out with them.Of course, there were a number of new things, and it took me the whole year to find them all out. I never got homesick. Perhaps it was because I did not have too many negative (负面的) experiences and felt loved and welcomed there.However, I had undergone some painful experiences back in Germany. I was frustrated by the way people would run me over and not even say “Sorry.”Taking up my studies at the TU-Dresden, I felt lonely. Everybody here seemed to be withdrawn (离群的) and I missed everything I h ad in Cincinnati. Germany was so “cold”. I found it so much harder to make new friends. After six months I got a roommate and only two good friends. I also flew back to Cincinnati several times for long periods. I felt that without those visits I was not able to make it.Now I am over this German culture shock. It almost took me an entire year. I am still going back and forward between Dresden and Cincinnati four times a year.21. When the author lived in Cincinnati, _______________.A. some people were not very kind to herB. many people were curious about her motherlandC. she lived in a real castleD. she lived in the biggest house in the neighborhood22. In the opinion of the author, life in Cincinnati was ________.A. hardB. painfulC. wonderfulD. strange23. Which of the following statements is TRUE about the author?A. She lived with her mother in a big house in Germany.B. She did miss her friends in Cincinnati when she was at the TU-Dresden.C. She never went back to Cincinnati after she came back to Germany.D. She seldom hung out with her American friends as she was too busy. 24．What is the best title for this passage?A. University life in GermanyB. Advantages of living in USAC. My culture shock experienceD. How to be an au pair in USABAs a music teacher for twenty-seven years, I have always known that music touches the soul. It can break through all kinds of barriers to reach students in a very special way. It can be the means for each child to find their light.A few years ago, I was blessed with the opportunity to teach pre-school students one afternoon a week. One of my most memorable students was Vanessa. She was five years old, had difficulty walking, and could not speak. We mostly sat on the floor for our music lessons and Vanessa liked to sit on my lap.One of her favorite songs was John the Rabbit. It was a call and response song where I sang the call and the students clapped two times while singing the repeating phrase,"Oh, yes!" Vanessa liked to put her hands together with mine and clap with me. We performed that song during every class, Vanessa and I clapping together. She never said or sang a word.One day late in the school year, when the song was finished, Vanessa turned around, looked me in the eye, clapped her tiny hands two times and said the words "Oh, yes!"I opened my mouth and for that moment I was the one who could not speak. Through music, we had made a connection. Several years later, I came acrossVanessa on the street in town. I stopped my car and waved to say hello. She waved back with a big smileon her face and then clapped her hands two times, mimicking (模仿) the song we had performed in our music class. This precious little girl, through her connection with music, left an impression on me that will last forever. Every child has the ability to learn and grow. It is up to us educators to discover the way to reach each and every one of our students. We all must find each child's light.25. The author thinks music _____.A. can make children calm downB. can connect heart to heartC. is difficult for pre-school studentsD. is a good means to find a job26. According to the second paragraph, Vanessa ______.A. got used to singing songsB. was too shy to speakC. was the youngest in the classD. enjoyed the author's class27. What message does the author want to convey to readers most?A. Music is the universal language of mankind.B. Disabled children are natural music lovers.C. Teachers should find a way to discover students' light.D. A good educator ought to help students learn through music.CRomantic comedies have long been regarded as the perfect movie for a first date. But according to a study, romantic comedies such as Bridget Jones's Diary and Notting Hill could be bad for your love life.Rather than being harmless entertainment, 'rom-coms' give people unrealistic and potentially unhealthy expectations about real-life relationships, scientists say.Researchers found that those who watched romantic comedies were more likely to believe in predestined love (缘份) than those who preferred other kinds of movie.They were also more likely to believe that perfect relationships happen instantly, and were less likely to believe that couples need to work at relationships.Watching just one romantic comedy is enough to sway people's attitudes to romantic love, they found.Dr Bjarne Holmes, who led the research, said: "We are not killing joys -- we are not saying that people shouldn't watch these movies. But we are saying that it would be helpful if people were more aware and more critical of the messages in these films. The problem is that while most of us know that the idea of a perfect relationship is unrealistic, some of us are still more influenced than we realize."For the first part of the study, Dr Holmes and colleagues at the Family and Personal Relationships Laboratory at Heriot Watt University, Edinburgh, studied 40 box office hits from 1995 to 2005.Most of those comedies described couples falling instantly in love and promoted the idea of fate --the belief that there is just one perfect companion out there, they found."There's a belief of destiny and couples in romantic comedies immediately understand each other," said Dr Holmes. "If you think that's how things are, you are setting yourself up to be disappointed."In a second study, Dr Holmes asked around 100 student volunteers to watch Serendipity -- the 2001 romantic comedy starring Kate Beckinsale and John Cusack, while 100 watched a David Lynch drama.In a questionnaire after the film ended, students watching the rom-com were far more likely to believe in fate and destiny than those who had watched the 'straight' film.28. According to the passage if you are fond of watching romantic comedies, you _____.A. are more likely to believe in future loveB. must be influenced by filmsC. may expect a perfect relationship in your love lifeD. may fall instantly in love with one of your classmates29. The underlined word "destiny" most probably means______.A. fateB. loveC. beautyD. romance30. The purpose of Dr Bjame Hohnes' research is _____.A. to promote the idea of fateB. to ask us to keep away from romantic comediesC. to show how romantic comedies have influence on our lifeD. to remind us of the negative effect of watching romantic comedies31. It is implied in the passage that _____.A. watching comedies is harmful to a stable marriageB. it is necessary for couples to work at their relationshipC. couples falling instantly in love end up with an unhappy marriageD. we should watch more 'straight' films instead of romantic comediesDBelieve it or not, going to school is not a legal(法定的) requirement in the United States. It is a legal requirement that all kids be educated, though. When parents believe they can give their kids a better education--- or have other reasons for not wanting to send their kids to a local school --- they may choose home schooling.However, if a kid hates school, home schooling is probably not the escape he is looking for. Home schooled students can learn just as much as they would in regular school if they and their parents work hard to cover all the subjects and experiences necessary. Parents who home school usually have higher levels of education than parents who do not. They already have the skills to educate themselves about teaching their kids.Parents who home school have to be able to put the time and skill into not just teaching, but also researching lesson plans and resources(资源). So they have to know how to find the information necessary to teach their kids. State schools often provide home-schooling parents with a curriculum(课程), books and materials and places to meet. Some state schools will point parents to other resources for brushing up on forgotten subjects. Or parents may receive continuing education at local colleges or universities.32. According to American law, _______________.A. all kids shall go to schoolB. all kids must receive educationC. home schooling parents shall receive continuing educationD. state schools must give support to home-schooling parents33. According to the text, most home-schooling parents________________.A. are short of moneyB. dislike schoolsC. used to work as teachersD. are well-educated34. The underlined phrase “brushing up on” in the last paragraph can best be replaced by _____.A. reviewingB. changingC. choosingD. discussing35. What can be inferred from the text?A. Home schooled kids learn fewer.B. Home schooled kids spend less time studying.C. Being a home-schooling parent needs a lot of effort.D. Home schooling will replaced school education.根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

第一节（每小题 2 分，满分 30 分）ABright Side did some research on many places throughout the world where you can buy a house for 1 dollar or for free !Roubaix, FranceIf you like France, Roubaix located in the north of France is just for you.

The buyer is supposed to live in this house for 3 years.Buffalo, USABuffalo offers whoever qualifies to buy a house for $1. All you need is to be a lawful citizen of the city and invest amount of money into its decoration. Doing this, the authorities are hoping to make the city beautiful again without spending money.Liverpool, Great BritainIn Liverpool, most of houses were abandoned by the working class during the years of unemployment. The government is trying to sell the houses for just $1. If you want to buy such a house, it has to be your first deal on buying property(不动产).Candela, ItalyIf you still have any doubts about spending $1 on a house, you should know: the government will pay you some money, if you move to Candela. In order to be paid, you need to become a permanent citizen and have an income of $7500 per year.

Where does this passage come from?A. a textbookB. a magazineC. the InternetD. an announcementBWhen the tornado(龙卷风) passed, Lewis returned to her house after that awful night, and the Bible was the first thing she looked for. She had bought it 35 years earlier, at the start of her marriage. Like many folks, she’d used it to preserve the family’s hi story: decades-old photos, newspaper obituaries(讣告) of loved ones, a handkerchief from her great-grandmother, even a piece of a scarf her uncle had brought back from the Korean War.The Bible was not where she’d last seen it, on top of an antique dresser i n her bedroom. The only thing left was the solid pieces of marble that had been on the top of the furniture. After an hour of searching, one of the volunteers ran up to her and found the Bible while clearing through ruins. She had tears streaming down her cheeks. It had flown about ten feet from the dresser. Surprisingly, while many books had been destroyed beyond recognition, the Bible was still intact, even though ithad sat in the rain for days. “It was a miracle,” says Lewis.A few of the Bible’s treasu res did go missing. Yet ever so slowly, they, too, began reappearing in Lewis’s life. Days after the Bible was found, volunteers discovered one of the newspaper obituaries outside the home. Two weeks later, a neighbor found another newspaper clipping（剪辑） b y her house. “It was a shock,” says Lewis.Now the Bible already has its well-deserved place of honor, on the dresser. She knows that while every good book tells stories of disastrous weather and unlikely survival, this one actually lived it.5. What does the underlined word “intact” probably refer to?A.UnfoldedB. NewC. UndamagedD. fragile6. Why was the Bible the first thing to look for?A. It is a book telling good stories.B. It was a valuable gift at hermarriage.C. It records her f amily’s trees and history.D. It keeps things recallingfamily’s stories.7. What is the best title for the text?A. The Bible Beats a TornadoB. The Bible Blesses LewisesC. Antique Treasures Are Never GoneD. Family Treasures Are Along With USCYou can't see your sleeping pet’s brain waves, but its behavior can tell you when your cat might be dreaming. If you watch closely, you'll see that as she falls asleep, her breathing becomes slow and regular with her body still. She has entered the first stage of sleep, called slow-wave sleep. After about 15 minutes you’ll notice a change in her breathing. Her eyes move under her closed lids ,her paws twitch(抽动）and she flicks(尤指用手指或手快速地轻抚）an ear. She has entered dreaming. Although she twitches and makes little grunting（嘟囔）noises, messages from her brain to the large muscles in her legs are blocked, so she can't run about. She is in a state of "sleep paralysis（麻痹）”.Michel Jouvet, a French scientist, interrupted their sleep paralysis. Even though they were completely asleep, the dreaming cats began to run for balls that Jouvet couldn't see and arched(弓起) their backs at unseen enemies. He figures he was watching them act out their dreams! Obviously，the dreaming cats seemed to be practicing important cat skills: following, pouncing（猛扑）, and fightingIn another study, Matt Wilson recorded rats brain waves while they learned mazes （迷宫）. One day, he left the brain-wave-recording machine on while the rats fell asleep. The pattern of brain waves in the sleeping rats matched the pattern from the maze so closely that Wilson could figure out exactly which part of the maze each rat was dreaming about！Many researchers now think that in both people and animals, one purpose of dreams is to practise important skills and figure out recent learning. This may explain why so many people dream about fighting and escaping, skills that were probably important to our ancestors, and why dreaming affects our ability to learn.Do all animals dream? From looking at the brain waves of sleeping animals, how often animals dream seems to be tied to body size. Cats dream about every 15 minutes, mice every 9 minutes, and elephants every 2 hours. And though cows and horses usually sleep standing up, they only dream when lying down.8. What does Michel Jouvet find in his study？A. The dreaming cats are in a state of body paralysis.B. The dreaming cats often practice their important skills.C. The eyes of dreaming cats moved while bodies are still.D. The muscles of the dreaming cats are blocked to move.9. What can you infer from the third and the fourth paragraphs?A. Dreaming a lot can help humans learn more.B. Learning mazes is the basic skill for cats to learn.C. Rats often dreams to make certain their recent learning.D. Fighting and escaping are not important skills for ancestors.10. Which animal may dream most frequently?A. Rats.B. Dogs.C. Cows.D. Elephants.11. How does the author develop his passage?A. By making comparisons.B. By using figures.C. By telling stories.D. By showing facts.DNowadays six Amazon Scout delivery robots rolled out in a pilot program in Snohomish County, Wash. The robots carry meals, groceries and packages to homes and offices in this region just north of Seattle. They have appeared on the sidewalks of London, Beijing and other cities and communities worldwide. These machines must overcome pedestrian legs, naughty dogs and broken pavement, which raises some questions.These services are gaining attraction as a growing number of city residents expect immediate or scheduled delivery for just about everything. Between 2017 and 2018 online retail sales in the U.S. increased by 16 percent. On the final step of all these deliveries, called the last mile, humans on bicycles, motorized scooters ( 电动车) or large delivery trucks typically deliver packages. All the vehicles compete for space on busy urban streets. “Deliveries are trending upwards in all crowded city centers, and if city and state leaders don’t st art thinking about creative solutions like robot deliveries, we can expect even worse traffic jams,” says Paul Mackie, director of a transportation policy research center in Arlington.A study by this center found 73 percent of delivery vehicles in Arlington were parked outside of authorized areas, often blocking bike lanes and crosswalks. By moving the last step of deliveries from the road to the sidewalk, cities could reduce traffic jams and solve the parking problem entirely, Mackie says.Companies such as Amazon are not developing this delivery technology simply to clear up urban traffic. Self-driving vehicles and sidewalk robots could cut down last-mile delivery costs in cities by as much as 40 percent, according to a 2018 report by a consultancy firm. A delivery robot can cost thousands of dollars to manufacture, and most currently require human management and conservation. But in the long run companies that use autonomous delivery vehicles in the next several years could end up saving billions of dollars, the report stated.12．Why does Amazon introduce delivery robots ?A．To amuse its customers.B．To avoid pedestrians, dogs and broken pavement.C．To meet the increasing demand of delivering packages.D．To confirm the company’s innovation spirit.13．What does Paul Mackie mean by his words in paragraph 2?A．Retail sales in the U.S. increased fast.B．Deliveries stay steady in all crowded city centers.C．Regardless of robot deliveries, traffic jams will remain the same.D．Robot can help ease the traffic pressure.14．What can robots delivery bring to the city?A．Block bike lanes and crosswalks. B．Relieve urban traffic as well as save delivery costs.C．Increase danger to pedestrians. D．Lead to traffic jams.15．Which word can best describe the future of the robot delivery?A．Uncertain. B．Hopeless. C．Promising. D．Unacceptable.第二节（共5小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

The Benton, Arkansas native launched her own non-profit, Lisowe’s Lights, in 2018, donating over 500 nightlights to kids in the Arkansas foster (寄养的) system that year alone.Since, she has expanded to all 50 states (and 9 countries) and raised funds to distribute more than 15,000 nightlights — with no plans of slowing down.“Kids in foster homes sometim es have to leave in the middle of the night without taking anything with them,” she says. “I wanted to help them feel less scared and more safe.” The 12-year-old hopes to give away at least 2,500 more lights in 2023.Amelia grew up volunteering with her mom, Lauren, who encouraged her daughter to find something she was good at and use it to make the world a better place. “I’m so proud of her,” Lauren adds. “She’s involved in every decision we make. Every time we spend money, she helps decide if something i s a good idea or will further our cause.”Amelia also gets help from friends in the Royal International Miss Pageant system, who run their own nightlight drives in person and online. Amelia, a sixth grader who also volunteers at her local food bank and nursing home, says she feels the impact of her work most when she hears from organizations that have put her lights to use.“I heard about one boy in Oklahoma who never turned off his hall light, not because he was scared, but because he wanted to make sure his little sister was always doing okay across the hall,” Amelia shares. “When they got their nightlight, he knew she wouldn’t be afraid anymore.”4．What was the reason for Amelia’s being refused as a volunteer?A. Her young age.B. Her slow reaction.C. Her busy schedule.D. Her little experience.5．How can nightlights help kids in foster homes?A. By easing their scare.B. By encouraging them to explore.C. By ensuring their safety.D. By putting them to sleep.6．What is Lauren’s attitude to Amelia’s wor k?A. Opposed.B. Doubtful.C. Supportive.D. Worried.7．Why did Amelia mention a boy in Oklahoma in the last paragraph?A. To explain why he kept light on.B. To express her pride in her job.C. To decide what she would do next.D. To show how nightlights help kids.Animals being extinct from the Earth is a serious issue. When this happens in order to use their fur or skin for fashion, it is even worse, since it’s not even for a matter of human survival. That’s why a London zoo decided to make a powerful s tatement at the Siamese crocodile enclosure (鳄鱼围栏).When visitors come in expecting to see a crocodile, they’re greeted with the handbag instead, making a very effective and powerful point about illegal wildlife trade and the harm it takes on the species involved.A sign by the enclosure reads, “This bag u sed to be found swimming in slow-moving rivers and streams across Southeast Asia and Indonesia. Over the last 75 years, more than 80% of Siamese crocodiles have disappeared. Many, like this one, were hunted for their skins as part of the illegal wildlife t rade.”.Native to parts of Southeast Asia, Siamese crocodiles are critically endangered and have become virtually extinct in the wild. Due to hunting as well as habitat loss, they are now absent from nearly 99% of their original range. A huge part of the decline of population is due to humans using their wetland habitat for rice farming, and things only took a turn for the worse when large-scale hunting for their skin for commercial purposes began in the 1950s.according to Benjamin Tapley, leader of reptiles and amphibians at ZSL London Zoo.Tapley told The Huffington Post, “We made this exhibit, within ZSL London Zoo’s Reptile House, to draw visitors’ attention to the d estructive impact the Illegal Wildlife Trade (IWT) is having on species around the world. At ZSL, we are working globally with governments and local communities to protect wildlife, support law enforcement (执法) that targets illegal trade networks, empower local communities affected by IWT and reduce demand for threatened wildlife.”8．Why does the sign say this handbag used to swim?A.

Despite only covering 0.2 percent of the ocean floor, coral reefs support at least 25 percent of marine species, as well as providing food and economic security for hundreds of millions of people.However, coral reefs across the world are under threat. Warmer oceans can cause the coral bleaching(漂白). It happens when the corals lose colored algae(海藻) living in their bodies and turn completely white. Without the algae, the corals lose their main food source and can die. In addition, as oceans become more acidic(酸性的) from absorbing CO2, corals in acidic conditions become weak in forming reefs.In 2021, the United Nations reported a 14 percent loss of corals across the world largely from rising sea temperatures in the previous 13 years. Australia declared mass bleaching events in 2022 across large parts of the Great Barrier Reef, four times since 2016. Data from the Philippines showed higher than usual ocean temperatures between 2015 and 2017 had caused a serious three-year bleaching events in reefs across the planet.Scientists have been cooperating to see how coral reefs can be protected. Thankfully, they find those coral reefs in the hot parts of the globe are the worst affected. They contain corals with better heat resistance. So their research focus on finding genes(基因) for heat tolerance so that they can be passed on to future generations. Biologists also mix corals that are more resilient to higher temperatures with those that are not and the resulting generation has a better chance of survival.Ultimately, scientists add that without a serious reduction in greenhouse gas, 99 percent of the worl d’s coral reefs will be gone by the end of the century. There is a limit to howquickly corals can adapt warm climate, but if temperatures rise rapidly, then extinction is certain.12．Which is the main threat to coral reefs?A. Declining ocean acidification.B. Loss of colored algae.C. Increasing sea temperatures.D. Lack of food source.13．What do we know from paragraph 3?A. No actions are taken to protect coral reefs.B. Coral bleaching is the worst in Australia.C. Coral reefs have grown rapidly for years.D. Coral reefs receive impacts globally.14．What can be the basic way to protect coral reefs?A. Lowering emission.B. Transplanting them to the hot parts.C. Relying on genes science.D. Limiting their spread.15．Which can be the best title for the text?A. Where Are Coral Reefs Spread?B. How Can Coral Reefs Survive?C. Coral Reefs, A New Threat To Ocean LifeD. Coral Reefs, A Busy Underwater Community二、七选五16．Companion planting (混栽) is the practice of planting things together to help each other grow.
