Triplett- a Mayfield resident and a former soldier — was in Chicago that Friday night. Alarmed by the weather reports, his wife and two young children went to stay in a hotel of the nearby town, Paducah, without suffering the storms and ultimately out of the path of the tornadoes(龙卷风).Able to return home the next morning, Triplett was shocked by how the town was destroyed and wanted to help however he could. He arrived at the volunteer center, where he was asked to guide a photo-journalist through streets filled with remains. That night, the two returned to shelters where they saw many suffered families including one woman comforting her son over their lost Christmas.“It was very heartbreaking, too much for me to handle, ” he said. Therefore, he decided that more needed to be done for the children affected by the storm. Noticing that supplies available were essentials such as generators (发电机) and bottled water, he turned to hisfriends on social media for donations so that he could go to Walmart and purchase toys and gifts for the kids. Around $2, 000 were raised, and the store gave Triplett a discount upon learning of his efforts. As word spread on websites, more donations poured in. He was able to return the following day and another $6,000 was spent on toys and board games, he said. Forty pairs of shoes were also picked up at a local Shoe Sensation. Triplett and other volunteers will wrap and distribute the toys for any child or family in need. He credits the kindness of everyone who tried to help and get families back on their feet right before the holidays.4．Why were Triplett and his families safe from the disaster?A．They were rescued by soldiers.B．They didn’t come back to Mayfield.C．They were helped by an aid agency.D．They happened to be travelling inChicago.5．What did Triplett see in the shelters?A．A volunteer cleaning the street.B．A boy crying for his lost families.C．A photo-journalist taking pictures.D．A mother calming her child down. 6．What do Triplett’s donations mainly contain?A．First-aid kits.B．Emergency food.C．Essential supplies.D．Entertainment items.7．Which of the following can best describe Triplett?A．Generous and hard-working.B．Brave and energetic.C．Sympathetic and warm-hearted.D．Foresighted and determined.Most of us spend our lives surrounded by screens, which offer us convenience as well as connection and an ocean of information. But since it’s easy to feel pressured to keep up with every notification, technology may feel more like a burden than a blessing. Thus, the idea of “digital detox” is becoming increasingly inviting.The phrase “digital detox” describes getting rid of TV, phones, computers and other forms of technology that control our lives for a period of time. Some experts advocate completely avoiding unnecessary screen time for 30 years. Others suggest using an app that will limit the amount of time one can spend on certain websites. A third option is logging out in evenings or on weekends. Others simply turn their phones off at scheduled times. Some even pay high prices to take vacations in places where they can unplug from their digitalroutine.Why might you want to take a digital detox? Perhaps you find that you are spending longer than you intend on certain apps or that they distract you from more important things. Perhaps social media is depressing because you compare yourself to others or you fear missing out on things that other people are enjoying. Constant negative news can also give rise to a lot of stress.Technology can also have physical effects. Many people experience back or neck pain as a result of bending over screens. The blue light coming from most screens can also affect people’s sleep by preventing production of melatonin(褪黑素).Giving up all screens may not be realistic, but strategic breaks from technology may be good for your body, mind, emotions and relationships. It is high time that you picked a time to turn off your devices and focus on really important things.8．Why does the author say “technology may feel more like a burden than a blessing” in paragraph 1?A．To confirm a concept.B．To present a problem.C．To explain a rule.D．To make a prediction.9．What does the underlined word “unplug” in paragraph 2 mean?A．Recover.B．Benefit.C．preventing D．Suffer. 10．Which could be the reason for one to start “digital detox”?A．Apps selection difficulty.B．Fear of missing important things.C．Exposure to false news.D．Pressure from social comparison.11．What is the purpose of the text?A．To recommend healthy lifestyles.B．To call for reducing the use of digital devices.C．To give instructions on starting digital detox.D．To present different attitudes to digital products.Making day-to-day activities more intense for a few minutes — such as briefly steppingup the pace of a walk — could offer people who don’t exercise some of the health benefits that exercisers enjoy, according to a new study of roughly 25, 000 adults who reported no exercise in their free time.Those who include three one-to two-minute bursts of intense activity per day saw a nearly a 40 percent drop in the risk of death from any cause compared with those without such activity. The risk of death from cancer also fell by nearly 40 percent, and the risk of death from cardiovascular (心血管的) disease dropped almost 50 percent, researchers report online December 8 in Nature Medicine.“This study adds to other literature showing that even short amounts of activity are beneficial,” says Lisa Cadmus-Bertram, a physical activity epidemiologist (流行病学家) at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. “So many people are daunted by feeling that they don’t have the time, money, motivation, transportation, etc. togo to a gym regularly or work out for long periods of time,” she says. “The message we can take is that it is absolutely worth doing what you can.”The researchers were looking for bursts of intense activity that met a definition determined in a laboratory study, like reaching at least 77 percent of maximum heart rate and at least 64 percent of maximum oxygen consumption. In real life, the signs that someone has reached the needed intensity level are “an increase in heart rate and feeling out of breath” in the first 15 to 30 seconds of an activity, Stamatakis says.Regular daily activities offer several opportunities for these bursts, he says. “The simplest one is maximizing walking pace for a minute or two during any regular walk.” Other options, he says, include carrying grocery bags to the car or taking the stairs. “The largest population health gains will be realized by finding ways to get the least physically active people to move a little more.”12．What was found about intense activity in the new study?A．It helped to lower the risk of death.B．It was more beneficial to exercisers.C．It relieved the pain of cancer patients.D．It cured people of cardiovascular disease.13．What does the underline word “daunted” probably mean?A．Inspired.B．Surprised.C．Discouraged.D．Confused.14．Which activity might be suggested by Stamatakis?A．Working out every day.B．Taking stairs at an even pace.C．Keeping running at a high speed.D．Adding short bursts to a regular walk.15．What might be a suitable title for the text?A．The Simplest Daily Exercise ActivitiesB．Brief Intense Activities Can Be HelpfulC．The Guidance on Brief Intense ActivitiesD．Regular Exercise Is Necessary for Everyone二、七选五with everything you do — your words, actions, beliefs, habits, and choices. Accepting conscious living takes some effort, but it is worthwhile. Here are some ways you can achieve this goal.●Be conscious about your time.Time is the most precious thing because there is no way to live a moment again. 17 If you waste your precious hours doing negative things, you will regret it later. The first step for living consciously is to be wise about your time. Be selective about things you spend it on, and allocate (分配) it for positive activities.● 18You cannot achieve them unless you understand your needs and intentions. It is easier said than done because most people fail to make an effort to know themselves. Spend time thinking over and knowing your strengths and weaknesses. Once you know yourself better, you can create a plan to work towards becoming more patient, honest, and forgiving.●Learn to be grateful.Gratitude takes you a long way towards conscious living. It opens you up to a happier and a fulfilled mindset. Most people are unhappy because they see only the negatives in life.However, everyone has something to be grateful for. Writing a gratitude journal is a good start for counting your blessings. 19●Believe in yourself.It is the key to making the right choices, yet not regretting the wrong ones. 20 Spending time alone and thinking deeply are effective measures that enable you to identify the inner voice. Care for it and follow it to make it stronger down the line.Conscious living is a skill you need to learn as you go, so be willing to make the effort and master it. You will absorb it soon and be a happier person in the long run.A．Know yourself better.B．Accept the person you are.C．Life can be a lot better with the right decisions.D．It is a healthy choice that enables you to be happy.E．Pick it as a daily habit, and you will notice the difference.F．The way you spend your time determines the course of your life.G．The best way to build self-belief is by reflecting on your own thoughts.三、完形填空Recent snowstorms in Southern California left several people dead and others trapped inDoctors were able to 31 her more time, but her worsening condition urged him to do all he could to get to her.

2024届湖北省武汉市黄陂区第一中学高三下学期一模英语试题一、阅读理解Dear readers,“Persist.” — Viet Thanh Nguyen“Success is no accident.” — Chris Bohjalian“Keep writing and it’ll get easier.” — Lisa Jewell“Be patient with yourself.” — Min Jin LeeThese are words of advice taken from our interviews with award-winning and bestselling authors. Notice, though, not a single mention of their status, prizes, or advances—in other words, their success. And while status, literary awards, and money can be indicators of a successful writer, one must actually sit down and write for any of those things to happen. That’s what all of these pieces of advice have in common: putting words on the page.In this issue, you’ll find articles to help you succeed, no matter your goals. If it’s to figure out whether that mess of a novel you’ve got sitting in a drawer can be rescued or if you need to move on, Andromeda Romano’s article will offer questions to ask yourself. Michael La Ronn’s essay will give you an example of how an unexpected opportunity might be just the push you need. Or, if you’ve had trouble finding an agent, Ryan Van Cleave’s collection of tips and advice from 22 literary agents on every aspect of the business might change your luck. Matty Dalrymple shares ways to reach more readers and build a community with them.Wish you success and happy new year!1．The advice mentioned at the beginning highlights the importance of ______.A．a big dream B．constant practice C．earning money D．achieving success 2．Whose article may help those who are unsure whether to save an unsuccessful novel?A．Matty Dalrympl.B．Michael La Ronn.C．Ryan Van Cleave.D．Andromeda Romano.3．Who might be the target readers of this issue?A．Writers.B．Businessmen.C．Booksellers.D．Literary agents.At my first lesson in Chinese calligraphy, my teacher told me plainly: “Now I will teach you how to write your name. And to make it beautiful.” I felt my breath catch. I was curious.Growing up in Singapore, I had an unusual relationship with my Chinese name. My parents are ethnically Chinese, so they asked fortune tellers to decide my name, aiming for maximum luck. As a result, I ended up with a nonsense and embarrassing name: Chen Yiwen, meaning, roughly, “old”, “barley (薏米)” and “warm”.When I arrived in America for college at 18, I put on an American accent and abandoned my Chinese name. When I moved to Hong Kong in 2021, after 14 years in the States, I decided to learn calligraphy. Why not get back in touch with my heritage? I thought.In calligraphy, the idea is to copy the old masters’ techniques, thereby refining your own. Every week, though, my teacher would give uncomfortably on-the-nose assessments of my person. “You need to be braver,” he once observed. “Have confidence. Try to produce a bold stroke(笔画).” For years, I had prided myself on presenting an image of confidence, but my writing betrayed me.I was trying to make sense of this practice. You must visualize the word as it is to be written and leave a trace of yourself in it. As a bodily practice, calligraphy could go beyond its own cultural restrictions. Could it help me go beyond mine? My teacher once said to me, “When you look at the word, you see the body. Though a word on the page is two-dimensional, it contains multitudes, conveying the force you’ve applied, the energy of your grip, the arch of your spine.” I had been learning calligraphy to get in touch with my cultural roots, but what I was really seeking was a return to myself. Now I have sensed that the pleasure out of calligraphy allows me to know myself more fully.During a recent lesson, my teacher pointed at the word I had just finished, telling me: “This word is much better. I can see the choices you made, your calculations, your flow. Trust yourself. This word is yours.” He might as well have said, “This word is you.”4．What did the author initially think of her name “Chen Yiwen”?A．It was lucky so she gladly accepted it.B．She felt proud of its symbolic meaning.C．She understood the intention but still disliked it.D．Its strange pronunciation made her embarrassed.5．The author decided to learn calligraphy to ______.A．pick up a new hobby B．reconnect with her originC．gain insights into a new culture D．fit in with local community6．From the teacher’s words, the author learns that calligraphy ______.A．reflects the creator’s spirits B．comes from creative energyC．highlights the design of strokes D．depends on continuous practice7．What does the author intend to tell us?A．Appreciate what our culture offers.B．Find beauty from your inner self.C．A great teacher leads you to truth.D．We are the sum of what we create.Any schoolchild knows that a whale breathes through its blowhole. Fewer know that a blowhole is a nostril (鼻孔) slightly changed by evolution into a form more useful for a mammal that spends its life at sea. And only a dedicated expert would know that while toothed whales, such as sperm whales, have one hole, baleen (鲸须) whales, such as humpback and Rice whales, have two.Even among the baleen whales, the placing of those nostrils differs. In some species they are close together. In others, they are much further apart. In a paper published in Biology Letters Conor Ryan, a marine biologist at the Scottish Association for Marine Science, suggests why that might be. Having two nostrils, he argues, helps whales smell in stereo (立体空间).Many types of baleen whales eat tiny animals known as zooplankton (浮游动物), which they catch by filtering (过滤) them from seawater using the sheets of fibrous baleen that have replaced teeth in their mouths. But to eat something you first have to find it. Toothed whales do not hunt by scent. In fact, the olfactory bulb—the part of the brain that processes smell—is absent in such creatures. But baleen whales still have olfactory bulbs, which suggests smell remains important. And scent can indeed give zooplankton away. Zooplankton like to eat other tiny creatures called phytoplankton (浮游植物). When these are under attack, they release a special gas called dimethyl sulphide, which in turn attracts baleen whales.Most animals have stereoscopic senses. Having two eyes, for instance, allows an animal to compare the images from each in order to perceive depth. Having two ears lets them locate the direction from which a sound is coming. Dr Ryan theorized that paired blowholes might bring baleen whales the same sorts of benefits.The farther apart the sensory organs are, the more information can be extracted by theanimal that bears them. The researchers used drones to photograph the nostrils of 143 whales belonging to 14 different species. Sure enough, baleen whales that often eat zooplankton, such as the North Atlantic right whale, have nostrils that are farther apart than do those, such as humpback whales, that eat zooplankton occasionally. Besides allowing them to breathe, it seems that some whales use their blowholes to determine in which direction dinner lies.8．What do we know about whales’ nostrils according to the first two paragraphs?A．They are adapted ones.B．They are developed merely for smell.C．They are not easy to detect.D．They are fixed universally in numbers. 9．What plays a role when baleen whales hunt zooplankton?A．The teeth that baleen whales have.B．The smell that phytoplankton send.C．The sound waves that zooplankton create.D．The chemical signals that zooplankton give off.10．How is the concept of stereoscopic senses explained in paragraph 4?A．By quoting a theory.B．By using examples.C．By making contrast.D．By making inferences.11．What is the position of nostrils related to according to the last paragraph?A．The sense of smell.B．The possibility to attract food.C．The ability to locate food.D．The ability to communicate.Those who had the pleasure of watching Benny Goodman at work saw a rather ordinary-looking man in rimless glasses and a conservative business suit; but they also saw a human being who could play the clarinet(单簧管)like no one before or since. This made Benny Goodman a unique individual.Other Americans who have stood out from the flock include Joe DiMaggio, Beverly Sill, Ernest Hemingway and Jonas Salk. They, like Benny Goodman, were recognized and honored for no other reason than excellence.It is doing something better than other people that makes us unique. Yet a surprising number of people still see individuality as a surface thing. They wear garish clothes, dye their hair strange colors and decorate their skin with tattoos to make some kind of social statement. But anordinary guy who has dyed his hair purple or orange is nothing more than the same person with a funny-looking head.The whole purpose of individuality is excellence. Those who invent, who improvise(即兴发挥), who know more about a subject than other people do, and who take something that doesn’t work and make it work.Charles Kettering didn’t like the idea of making a car start by hand, so he invented the electric starter. Henry Ford figured out the assembly-line technique and made it possible to mass-produce automobiles, and Elisha Otis, inventor of the elevator, indirectly created the city sky-line. These people understood that individualism means working at the top of one’s capacity.The ones with the purple hair and the funky jewelry are just along for the ride, trying to be “different” and not knowing how to go about it.The student who earns straight A’s on his report card has grasped the idea and has found the real meaning of individuality. So has the youngster who has designed his own spaceship, who gives piano recitals, who paints pictures of the world around him.Benny Goodman understood it too. This is why he was at his best, blowing his clarinet, in a blue suit and black shoes.12．Why does the author mention the appearance of Benny Goodman?A．To indicate that he can’t stand out from the flock.B．To contrast with his talent in music performance.C．To show what a talented musician should look like.D．To introduce an important figure in the musical world.13．According to the author, the essence of individualism lies in________.A．pursuing excellence to the fullB．Putting capital in mass productionC．striving to win the recognition of othersD．seeking difference both in character and appearance14．What do the underlined words in paragraph 6 probably mean?A．strive for excellence.B．go along with the crowd.C．stand out from the flock.D．set themselves apart from others.15．For the main thread, the article is organized by way of ________.A．specific to general B．cause and effectC．examples and conclusion D．comparison and contrastWhen you get in a car, you expect it will have functioning brakes. When you pick up medicine at the drugstore, you expect it won’t be polluted. But it wasn’t always like this. The safety of these products was terrible when they first came to market. It took much research and regulation to figure out how users can enjoy the benefits of these products without getting harmed.16Social media risks are everywhere. The dangers that algorithms designed to maximize attention represent to teens have become impossible to ignore. Other product design elements, often called “dark patterns,” designed to keep people using for longer, also appear to tip young users into social media overuse. 17 They say it’s their users’ fault for engaging with harmful content in the first place, even if those users are children or the content is financial trickery. They also claim to be defending free speech.18 Under the Digital Services Act, which came into effect in Europe this year, platforms are required to take action to stop the spread of illegal content and can be fined up to 6 percent of their global incomes if they don’t do so. If this law is enforced, maintaining the safety of their algorithms and networks will be the most financially sound decision for platforms to make.Despite these efforts, two things are clear. First, online safety problems are leading to real, offline suffering. Second, social media companies can’t, or won’t, solve these safety problems on their own. 19 Even safety issues like cyberbullying that we thought were solved can pop right back up. As our society moves online to an ever-greater degree, the idea that anyone, even teens, can just “stay off social media” becomes less and less realistic. 20A．And those problems aren’t going away.B．The current issues aren’t really about offline suffering.C．Platforms already have systems to remove violent or harmful content.D．Similarly, social media needs product safety standards to keep users safe.E．It’s time we should require social media to take safety seriously, for everyone’s sake. F．Internet platforms, however, have shifted blame on the consumers whenever criticized.G．Some authorities are taking steps to hold social media platforms accountable for the content.二、完形填空I’m sitting impatiently in our dusty car looking out. My travel buddy, Lucas, having taken in enough of the 21 , has gone to speak with someone from one of the nearby tourist souvenir huts. After ages, he walks towards me, 22 some sausages, hot water, a new cowboy hat, and a big grin on his face. “We’re giving a man a 23 ,” he tells me.The idea seems 24 but somehow safe, given that there are two of us and Lucas is a 25 to the country. How exciting to create an opportunity to meet people that you wouldn’t have met 26 .Now,as I look at Lucas’ new friend, I see a different kettle of fish. Michael is big. I mean really BIG. I watch in the side mirror as Michael 27 towards the car. In his right boot is a big knife, pushed far enough in that only the handle and the base of the blade poke out. A knife!I would normally be alert to this 28 stranger now sitting in the back of my vehicle. However, with Lucas now eagerly 29 with him in a language I barely understand, I’m trying to let myself 30 . Then Lucas loosely translates the conversation they’re having as Michael proudly 31 his knife, explaining that he uses it for everything: opening bottles, picking his teeth, castrating his cows.Gradually, my 32 towards our new stranger grows as he persistently tries to communicate with me, 33 the mood of the car. Twenty minutes down winding mountain roads and we reach Michael’s house, where we are invited to have a meal with his 34 . Later that day, we leave the house without taking any contact details from Michael. There is an unspoken understanding that this 35 friendship is enough.21．A．meal B．gift C．money D．view 22．A．leaving B．carrying C．taking D．offering 23．A．treat B．welcome C．ride D．coin 24．A．daring B．pleasant C．practical D．worthwhile 25．A．newcomer B．foreigner C．local D．visitor 26．A．otherwise B．instead C．though D．nevertheless27．A．climbs B．cycles C．flies D．marches 28．A．cold B．friendly C．enormous D．slim 29．A．singing B．chatting C．arguing D．complaining 30．A．sleep B．wait C．ease D．forget 31．A．pulls out B．gives out C．picks out D．sets out 32．A．fear B．warmth C．anger D．sympathy 33．A．maintaining B．ruining C．darkening D．lifting 34．A．family B．friends C．neighbors D．guests 35．A．permanent B．brief C．close D．renewed三、语法填空阅读下面短文，在空白处填入 1 个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

武汉市黄陂区第一中学2022-2023学年高一上学期10月期中联考英语试卷学校：___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________ 一、阅读理解Urban gardens are valuable assets to communities. They provide green spaces to grow sustainable food, build community cohesion (凝聚力), make new friends, connect with the earth, and much more. So, let's check out our list of 4 inspiring urban gardens in the US. Gotham GreensWhere: New York &ChicagoWhat: Gotham Greens first started in Brooklyn and now has four locations in New York City and Chicago. Their flagship farm in Brooklyn produces over 100,000 pounds of greens per year. But it doesn't just produce healthy local vegetables. It is using high-tech greenhouses with solar panels to make sure the food grown is healthy and sustainable. Baltimore Urban Gardening with StudentsWhere: Baltimore, MarylandWhat: The Baltimore Urban Gardening with Students (BUGS) program encourages students to get their hands dirty and plant vegetables through their after-school and summer programs. Many of these kids don't have access to green spaces, and have never had the opportunity to grow food.ReVision Urban FarmWhere: Boston, MassachusettsWhat: ReVision Urban Farm in Boston works in partnership with the ReVision Family Home-a shelter for 22 homeless parents and their kids. The farm provides these families with information on healthy eating, and access to the farm’s fresh vegetables. The organization also provides job training to help families escape the cycle of poverty.SwaleWhere: New YorkWhat: Swale, a floating food forest located on a large boat, is an innovative project meant to inspire citizens to rethink the relationship between our cities and our food. This urban garden serves as both a living art exhibit and an educational farm. Food forests are sustainable gardens that include vegetables, fruit, nut trees, bushes, herbs, and vines -each one complementing the other in a symbiotic (共生的) relationship.1、What does the BUGS program mainly do?A.Provide job training for students.e high-tech greenhouses to grow healthy food.C.Create a sustainable garden on a large boat.D.Offer students the opportunity to grow vegetables.2、Which urban garden helps people get out of poverty?A.Gotham Greens.B.Baltimore Urban Gardening with Students.C.ReVision Urban Farm.D.Swale.3、Where can citizens go to see a food forest?A.Chicago.B.Baltimore.C.Boston.D.New York.Another person’s enthusiasm was what set me moving toward the success I have achieved. That person was my stepmother.I was nine years old when she entered our home in the countryside of Virginia. My father introduced me to her with these words, “I would like you to meet the fellow who is well known for being the worst boy in this town and will probably start throwing rocks at you no later than tomorrow morning. “ My stepmother walked over to me, raised my head slightly upward, and looked at me right in th e eye. Then she looked at my father and replied, “You are wrong. This is not the worst boy at all, but the smartest one who hasn’t yet found a way to give out his enthusiasm.”That statement began a friendship between us. No one had ever called me smart. My family and neighbors had built me up in my mind as a bad boy. My stepmother changed all that. She changed many things. She persuaded my father to go to a dental school, from which he graduated with honors. She moved our family into the county seat, where my father’s career could be more successful and my brother and I could be better educated.When I turned fourteen, she bought me a secondhand typewriter and told me that she believed that I could become a writer. I knew her enthusiasm, and I saw how it had already improved our lives. I accepted her belief and began to write for local newspapers and finally reached the goal she set for me. I wasn’t the only beneficiary. My father became the wealthiest man in town. My brother and stepbrothers became a physician, a dentist, a lawyer, and a college president.4、What can be learnt about the author from Paragraph 2?A. He was the worst boy in the town.B. He liked throwing rocks at people.C. His father had a low opinion of him.D. His stepmother praised him for his kindness.5、What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about?A. Stepmother’s influence on the family.B. Friendship between mother and son.C. Changes in the family relationship.D. Reasons for receiving education.6、Why did the stepmother buy the author a typewriter?A. To congratulate on his success.B. To encourage him to write.C. To help him find a good job.D. To teach him to read and write.7、What may be the best title of the text?A. Enthusiasm changes lifeB. Success lies in educationC. A stepmother’s amazing lifeD. The secret of a good writerIn Japan, you are what your blood type is. A person’s blood type is popularly believed to decide his/her character and personality. Type-A people are generally considered sensitive perfectionists and good team players, but over-anxious. Type Os are curious and generous but stubborn. Type ABs are artistic but mysterious and unpredictable, and type Bs are cheerful but eccentric, individualistic, and selfish. Though lacking scientific evidence, this belief is widely seen in books, magazines, and television shows. Last year, four of Japan’s top 10 bestsellers were about how blood type determines personality, through which readers seemed to be able to discover the definition of their blood type or have their self-image confirmed.The blood-type belief has been used in unusual ways. The women softball team that won gold for Japan at the Beijing Olympics is reported to have used blood-type theories to design training for each player. Some kindergartens have adopted teaching methods along blood group lines, and even major companies reportedly make decisions about tasks based on an employee’s blood type. In 1990, Mitsubishi Electronics was reported to have announced the formation of a team composed entirel y of AB workers, thanks to “their ability to make plans”.The belief even affects politics. One former prime minister considered it important enough to reveal in his official profile (简介) that he was a type A, while his opposition rival was type B. In 2011, a minister, Ryu Matsumoto, was forced to resign after only a week in office, when a bad-tempered encounter with local officials was televised. In his resignation speech, he blamed his failings on the fact that he was blood type B.The blood-type craze, considered simply harmless fun by some Japanese, may reveal itself as prejudice and discrimination. In fact, this seems so common that the Japanese now have a term for it: bura-hara, meaning blood-type harassment (骚扰) . There are reports ofdiscrimination leading to children being bullied, ending of happy relationships, and loss of job opportunities due to blood type.8、What’s the main idea of paragraph 1?A. The Japanese attach great importance to blood type.B. The books about blood type are popular in Japan.C. The Japanese confirm their personality totally through blood type.D. The Japanese think blood type bestsellers are important to their self-image.9、According to the passage, which blood type can we infer is the LEAST favored in Japan?A. Type A.B. Type B.C. Type O.D. Type AB.10、Prime Minister Ryu Matsumoto resigned from office because __________.A. he revealed his rival’s blood typeB. he blamed his failings on local officialsC. he was seen behaving rudely on TVD. he was discriminated against because of blood type11、What is the speaker’s attitude toward the blood-type belief in Japan?A. Positive.B. Negative.C. Encouraging.D. Unconcerned.You’ve most likely heard the news by now: A car-commuting (通勤) , desk-bound, TV-watching lifestyle can be harmful to our health. All the time that we spend rooted in the chair is linked to increased risks of so many deadly diseases that experts have named this modern-day health epidemic the “sitting disease”.Sitting for too long slows down the body’s metabolism (新陈代谢) and the way enzymes (酶) break down our fat reserves, raising both blood sugar levels and blood pressure. Small amounts of regular activity, even just standing and moving around, throughout the day is enough to bring the increased levels back down. And those small amounts of activity add up — 30 minutes of light activity in two or three-minute bursts can be just as effective as a half-hour constant exercise. But without that activity, blood sugar levels and blood pressure keep increasing, steadily damaging the inside of the arteries and increasing the risk of diabetes, heart disease, stroke, and other serious diseases. In essence, fundamental changes in biology occur if you sit for too long.because you exercise regularly, right? Well, not so fast. Recent studies show that people spend an average of 64 hours a week sitting, whether or not they exercise 150 minutes a week as recommended by World Health Organization (WHO) . Regular exercisers, furthermore, arefound to be about 30 percent less active on days when they exercise. Overall, most people simply aren’t exercising or moving around enough to prevent all the harm that can result from sitting nine hours or more a day.Scared straight out of your chair? Good. The remedy is as simple as standing up and taking activity breaks.12、What is the best way to bring down high blood sugar level and blood pressure?A. Exercising for 150 minutes or more every week.B. Getting rid of the habit of car commuting and TV watching.C. Interrupting sitting time with light activity as often as possible.D. Standing or moving around for at least two or three minutes every day.13、What does the word “sedentary” in the third paragraph most likely m ean?A. Modern.B. Risky.C. Inactive.D. Comfortable.14、Which of the following may be inferred about those who do serious exercise?A. They usually do not meet the standard of exercise recommended by WHO.B. They generally spend less time sitting than those who are inactive.C. They often live longer than those who don’t exercise.D. They tend to stand or move around less on their work-out days.15、What is the passage mainly about?A. The challenges of the modern lifestyle.B. The reasons for the spread of a modern epidemic.C. The effect of regular exercise on our body.D. The threat to our health from long hours of sitting.二、七选五16、Some shy people find that they can talk fine with their old friends, but struggle with strangers.They want to “fit-in” with new people, but it’s really not easy for them. ①_______ Work on Raising Self-confidenceHaving high self-confidence helps you to be outgoing because you get recognition from yourself. ②_______Be in the Present MomentShy people spend too much time in their heads. ③_______ Being mindful of the present moment increases social ability because you have “more to work with”.
