Sometimes she knitted(编织)hats for babies, and at other times, she cooked chicken soup for sick neighbors. Therefore, I wasn’t surprised when one evening my mother announced she had undertaken a new project.“I am going to telephone seniors,” said my mother. “Every night? But you don’t even know these people.” “It doesn’t matter,” she said, “What’s important is that I listen.”I was sixteen years old and couldn’t understand why my mother was willing to spend her evenings talking to strangers. She had friends and my two older sisters to call if she felt lonely. “They will talk your ear off. Some people didn’t even stop to catch breath.” I said.My attitude didn’t stop my mother’s enthusiasm for the project. That evening, she settled on the sofa and dialed. When she finished the call, I said, “Why do you care whether she had cookies or rice pudding for dessert? ” My mother grasped one of my hands and said in a proud tune, “I’m the only person she talked to today.”It took me more than thirty years to fully understand the meaning of that statement. Now, as my mother is near eighty, I find myself thinking about those nightly calls she used to make.I am often the only person who telephones my mother, and sometimes I’m the only person she speaks to all day. I ask her what she cooked for dinner, but mostly I just listen as she describes a walk she took, or how her dog Lucky stole foods from the refrigerator. I realize that my mother’s calls were life lines that ensured housebound seniors remained connected to the world. Without her, their world would have been empty.4．What is the mother’s purpose of calling the seniors?A．To improve their living conditions.B．To inquire their eating habits.C．To ease their loneliness.D．To teach them surviving skills.5．What does the underlined part in paragraph 3 probably mean?A．Speak all the time.B．Blame others’ behaviours.C．Miss important information.D．Hurt your hearing.6．What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A．The author started to telephone seniors as her mother.B．The author realized the value of her mother’s efforts.C．The author’s mother preferred to live alone.D．The author’s mother remained connected to the world.7．What is the suitable title for the passage?A．Seniors’comfort B．Mother’s evenings C．Aging:my concern D．Nightly calls, lifeline callsAs data and identity theft becomes more and more common, the market is growing for biometric(生物测量) technologies—like fingerprint scans—to keep others out of private e-spaces. At present, these technologies are still expensive, though.Researchers from Georgia Tech say that they have come up with a low-cost device(装置) that gets around this problem: a smart keyboard. This smart keyboard precisely measures the cadence(节奏) with which one types and the pressure fingers apply to each key. The keyboard could offer a strong layer of security by analyzing things like the force of a user’s typing and the time between key presses. These patterns are unique to each person. Thus, the keyboard can determine people’s identities, and by extension, whether they should be given access to the computer it’s connected to—regardless of whether someone gets the password right.It also doesn’t require a new type of technology that people aren’t already familiar with. Everybody uses a keyboard and everybody types differently.In a study describing the technology, the researchers had 100 volunteers type the word “touch” four times using the smart keyboard. Data collected from the device could be used to recognize different participants based on how they typed, with very low error rates. Theresearchers say that the keyboard should be pretty straightforward to commercialize and is mostly made of inexpensive, plastic-like parts. The team hopes to make it to market in the near future.8．Why do the researchers develop the smart keyboard?A．To reduce pressure on keys.B．To improve accuracy in typing.C．To replace the password system.D．To cut the cost of e-space protection. 9．What makes the invention of the smart keyboard possible?A．Computers are much easier to operate.B．Fingerprint scanning techniques develop fast.C．Typing patterns vary from person to person.D．Data security measures are guaranteed.10．What do the researchers expect of the smart keyboard?A．It’ll be environment-friendly.B．It’ll reach consumers soon.C．It’ll be made of plastics.D．It’ll help speed up typing. 11．Where is this text most likely from?A．A diary.B．A guidebook C．A novel.D．A magazine.The essence (本质) of fast fashion is to make clothes inexpensively and quickly, to get new trends and styles into stores and online as soon as possible, and it comes at a high social and environmental cost. Keeping production costs low means they can make their clothes cheap, using cheap labour in unsafe working conditions, and in countries with bad environmental regulations.Throw-away culture is deeply rooted in our society; three in five of our clothing pieces are thrown out within a year. Fast fashion brands keep the consumers hungry and feeling like they need more by attracting them with newness and convincing the consumers that they need what they’re selling. This only results in increasing textile waste as people no longer want but throw it away.Criticisms of the fast fashion industry include its negative environmental impact: water pollution, the use of toxic (有毒的) chemicals and increasing levels of textile waste. Textile dyeing is the second largest polluter of clean water globally, after agriculture. Fast fashion companies rely on their products being made cheaply and quickly, so they avoid talking when it comes to being aware of their impact on the environment. Greenpeace’s recent DetoxCampaign showed that many brands use toxic and dangerous chemicals in their supply chains, and many of the chemicals are either banned or strictly controlled in lots of countries.In conclusion, the fast fashion industry has a bad effect on our environment through fast fashion brands’ ecological practices and only continues to make the problem last for a long time in the future through extreme consumerist culture. In order for change to happen, the common people need to open their eyes and take measures to prevent the fast fashion from growing.12．What’s one of the characteristics of fast fashion?A．Causing a lot of anxiety.B．Making people buy old clothes.C．Selling most clothes through stores.D．Producing clothes quickly.13．Why are fast fashion clothes cheap?A．They are mainly sold online.B．They are made in unsafe countries.C．They are made by cheap labour.D．They save the cost of advertising. 14．How does the society think of throwing away clothes according to the author?A．Natural.B．Surprising.C．Absurd.D．Puzzling. 15．What’s the way to change fast fashion mentioned in the text?A．Changing fast fashion brands’ working conditions.B．Changing clothes stores’ sales model.C．Introducing stricter laws for factories.D．Raising public awareness of preventing fast fashion.二、七选五Memory loss can occur to anyone. If you are unable to take good care of your memory, then chances are you will suffer from memory loss at a very young age. 16 Stress is a state of mental or emotional fatigue(疲劳). 17 This is the reason why we fail to remember or learn new things when we are mentally stressed. To prevent stress-related loss of memory and learning ability, one has to find the factors that increase stress and anxiety and deal with them.If you exercise on a regular basis, your body will become stronger over time. 18 As your brain does more exercise, it gets healthier and works better. This is why students are encouraged to do mind exercises or play mind-related games regularly.19 It allows good blood circulation(循环) in the body and enable the mind to process present as well as past information quickly. However, many people neglect the importance of doing so. Also, always include healthy foods in your daily diet that can improve your memory, such as blueberries, spinach and broccoli.These are just some of the causes of memory loss. At present, experts are unable to tell exactly what the main reason leading to memory loss is. This is because there could be many reasons leading to it, such as environmental factors. The brain is a complex organ. 20 What matters is that you are able to follow the right set of guidelines to prevent yourself from suffering from memory loss.A．It affects the memory and learning ability of an individualB．Having a healthy and balanced diet is very importantC．Trying giving yourself a break will be a good wayD．It makes it almost impossible to find the true cause of memory lossE．This rule applies to the brain as wellF．It is very helpful to have a regular place to put things inG．The following are the top three reason for memory loss and how you can avoid them三、完形填空When I was a young boy, our whole family lived in my grandma’s old house right besideahead can you really move forward, see the life you want to lead, and the 33 you want to make.

The other children laughed at her for the way she spoke, and she struggled to feel like she fit in.Sofia was fitted a bulb (咽球) that fit inside her mouth to help her form accurate sounds. While Sofia began to make great progress in speaking clearly, she still felt embarrassed around her classmates.During school lunches, she didn’t want any of them to see her remove her bulb in order that she could eat. She would slip into the bathroom before the meal to remove it, and then remain silent throughout lunch while her classmates chatted and laughed all around her. The process made her feel lonely even when she was surrounded by others.When she was 15, Sofia learned that Smile Train, the world’s largest cleft charity, would sponsor local professionals at nearby Notti Hospital to perform the operation she had waited so long for. She was overjoyed at the prospect of removing her bulb for good and living a confident life.Now, Sofia no longer requires a bulb! The operation and ensuing treatments Smile Train sponsored also resulted in permanent speech improvements that made an immediate positive impact on the teenager’s daily life.After Sofia shared a few verses of her favorite song in a Smile Train video, something truly remarkable happened. Sebastian Yatra, the Colombian singer and songwriter who wrote the hit, saw the video and recorded a special message just for her!

That’s great news for endangered red wolves, and marks the first time these pups have been born in the wild since 2020.Long ago, red wolves lived all through the US Southeast. But as the wolves were hunted, and as more and more land was taken over for cities, roads and farms, the wolves began to die out.In 1973, a new law called the Endangered Species Act was passed, which was designed to protect animals that were in danger of dying out, like red wolves. At the time, there were only about 17 red wolves remaining in the wild.14 of those wolves were caught and fed by researchers to protect them. Then, the FWS conducted a program called the Red Wolf Recovery Program. But by 1980, red wolves were believed to have been extinct in the wild.Luckily, the wolves did well under people’s care, and their numbers continued to grow. Soon the FWS began releasing red wolves back into the wild. Those wolves with tracking collarsspread out, paired up, and began to have pups. By 2012, red wolf numbers had hit a new high point of about 120 wolves in the wild. The program’s success led to many other programs aimed at bringing animals back from the edge of extinction.Sadly, though, wild red wolf numbers began to drop again. Some wolves were shot and others were hit by cars. As the number of adults fell. the number of pups being born also began to drop. In 2020, a total of four pups were born in the wild. In 2021, 2022 and 2023, no wild pups were born at all.So the news that six pups hatched in the wild this year is a huge boost. But the good news isn’t an accident.8．How did the FWS protect red wolves?A．It made a new law to protect them.B．It kept them in the wild.C．It moved them into a new habitat.D．It carried out a recovery program.9．What is partly responsible for the reduced number of red wolves in recent years? ?A．The lack of food B．The worsened weather.C．The illegal hunting.D．The loss of forests.10．What will be talked about in the following paragraph?A．The accidents that happened this year.B．The effort the FWS has made.C．The wishes from the researchers.D．The health condition of the pups. 11．What can be a suitable title for the passage?A．Endangered Species Act Taking Effect B．Red Wolf Pups Decreasing in the USC．Endangered Red Wolf Pups Born in the Wild D．Future Faced by Endangered RedWolvesPoppins is a new Netflix-like streaming service designed to support children with autism (自闭症). Autism influences the development of the brain and leads to various challenges in social communication, as well as people’s behavior and interests. “Many autistic children are visual (视觉的) learners, meaning they get information better through visual information. Therefore, we’ve made special TV shows and videos,” said Gilad Piker, the founder of Poppins. With the use of visual technology, Poppins mixes special programs with special users’ experiences.“It all started with my nephew when he was 15,” explained Gilad Piker. “He began to sufferfrom autism at the age of 5.” Piker noticed the boy watched cartoons and simple kids’ movies for hours, but what excited him even more were the opening logos and rolling credits (滚动字幕) at the end of a show. “When he saw them, he would stand in front of the screen. Maybe he thought it was the most exciting film he’d ever seen!” Piker added.Poppins’ specially designed TV shows and videos can offer chances for autistic children to learn social skills, such as turn-taking, sharing, and proper behavior in various situations. Autistic children are likely to find comfort and relaxation during the watching experience. Some programs also enable them to learn new words, sentences, and storytelling skills, supporting their language development and communication abilities.Proper selection and parental guidance are important when parents add TV shows and videos to an autistic child’s daily schedule. Each child is unique and interest is the best teacher, so parents should think wisely and choose suitable programs when determining the benefits of screen time.“Through Poppins, autistic children can now watch educational and entertainment programs that can meet their special needs and interests,” Piker said. “Seeing those children enjoy watching the programs provided by Poppins is an amazing experience. It reminds me of the power of technology to change lives.”12．Why are Poppins’ special programs carried out?A．To meet the learning needs of autistic children.B．To help autistic children learn new technologies.C．To recommend interesting TV programs to the public.D．To teach children how to make friends.13．What did Gilad Piker realize from his nephew’s experience?A．Autistic children’s ability to stay focused.B．Autistic children’s interest in special visual information.C．The common behavior problem of autistic children.D．The importance of spending quality time with autistic children.14．What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?A．The ideas for the design of Poppins.B．How Poppins’ programs benefit autistic children’s growth.C．How educators can help improve children’s social skills.D．The ways to encourage autistic children to use Poppins.15．What are parents advised to do when choosing visual materials for children?A．Consider children’s preferences and interests.B．Seek guidance from experts andteachers.C．Be familiar with children’s daily schedule.D．Think about the time spent on screen.In a picture book, pictures, rather than words, tell the story. It’s true that a wordless picture book lacks words for the story. But it follows all the basic requirements of a book. 16 In addition, it possesses a unique identity that is driven by an artist’s vision, which opens up windows to boundless imagination.17 The unique reality is experienced when readers interact with the pictures. The process of reading picture books is a curious interaction between the author and the readers. The readers bring their own imagination and experiences to interpret a space suggested by the author.By opening the pages of such a book, children fall into a story that requires them to provide context and clues from pictures to move the story forward. 18 So, for children who enjoy art, wordless picture books offer them the opportunity to exercise their imagination.The format also allows children to expand their critical thinking skills and creativity. Since every wordless picture book has a structure and a plot, children have to use skills such as prediction and drawing conclusions based on experiences to make sense of the story. Since there are no words, children can feel free to make up the story as they like. 19This is the essence of wordless picture books-they can become anything you want. They give a child the confidence to feel that if you can imagine it, it can exist. 20A．They can even change the ending, if they wish.B．They are attracted to the design and the colors.C．It, in turn, excites and builds up their imagination.D．For example, it has a plot, character development and so on.E．A wordless picture book takes readers into a new level of reality.F．This confidence brings out human creation, from artworks to scientific discoveries. G．Parents and their children can share their feelings by reading these books together.二、完形填空Sometimes, good news appears in small amounts in life. By holding onto a positive secret, even 21 . you can heighten its inspiring power for all parties involved.Last year, a famous shoe company launched a new pair of sneakers (运动鞋).

辽宁省沈阳市2017-2018学年高一英语上学期期中试题第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题;每小题2分，满分30分）AA year ago, my friend and I went to a nearby town to attend a wedding. After the reception, we were waiting for a public transport bus to go back home. It was nine o'clock at night, and although many buses passed, none stopped.We waited for an hour and were getting desperate. We wouldn't be able to stay overnight because it was a weekday, and we both needed to work the next day. It was almost 10 p.m. when a family who had attended the same wedding passed by in their car. Probably sensing that we were waiting for some means of transport, they stopped and gave us a lift. I was so touched by their kindness, and I expressed my gratitude (感谢)to them.When we reached my hometown, the family dropped us at the nearest point from where we could catch a shared taxi to get back to the spot where we had parked our bike. On the way, a laborer（工人） stopped the taxi. The driver saw his clothes and asked him whether he had money to pay the fare（车费）.The laborer shook his head and said, "No". On hearing this, the driver refused to take him. I remembered my own plight a few minutes earlier, and I told the driver to allow him to sit with us, as I would pay his fare. What an immediate opportunity to pass on the family's act of kindness! That night, I felt light-hearted and I went to sleep happily and filled with joy about what I had gotten to do. May this chain of kindness continue!21. Why the author and his friend waiting for a bus at nine o’clock at night?A. Because they were going to attend a wedding.B. Because they planned to help a laborer.C. Because they intended to meet a family.D. Because they wanted to go back home.22. What was the driver’s attitude toward the laborer’s asking for a lift?A. Uncaring. .B. Friendly.C. PositiveD. Respectful.23. The underlined word “plight” in paragraph 4 could best be replaced by “_________”.A. opportunityB. troubleC. kindnessD. tiredness24. What is the best title for the passage?A. A Kind and Helpful FamilyB. An Unusual WeddingC. Magic Chain of KindnessD. Attitude Decides EverythingBToday, we are told, children don’t sp end enough time in the fresh air. Many of them are addicted to screen on a computer or a TV---they seem to be living in a virtual world. They have lost touch with nature.But now 400 organizations in the UK, from playgroups to the National Health Servi ce, are encouraging children to have some “wild time”. They want kids to swap at least 30 minutes of watching TV or playing computer games for time playing outside. Activities such as building dens, climbing trees, and playing hide and seek are just some of the things kids can do. Even if they live in a city, they can go on adventures in the garden or the park.Children often need a helping hand from mom and dad. They need to be shown what to do and where to go. Andy Simpson from National Health Service says, “We want parents to see what this magical wonder product does for their kids’ development, independence and creativity, by giving wild time a go”.So despite the complicated world that young people grow up in now, it seems that going back to basi cs and experiencing “nature’s playground” is what modern children need. David Bond from Project Wild Thing says, “We need to make more space for wild time in children’s daily routine, freeing this generation of kids to have the sort of experiences that man y of us took for granted”.This might sound a bit old fashioned to you or maybe, like me, it’s made youthink about sticking on your boots, getting outdoors and reliving your childhood. There is no age limit on enjoying yourself!25. According to Andy Simpson, we know that_____________.A. wild time is beneficial to childrenB. wild time is hard to designC. parents know the importance of wild timeD. parents like keeping their children indoors.26. Children are encouraged to do the following activities except____________.A. building densB. watching TVC. playing hide and seekD. climbing trees27. What is the best title of the text?A. Adventures of childrenB. Benefits of wild timeC. More space for childrenD. Wild time for childrenCFor an entire day, forget about the clock. Eat when you’re hungry and sleep when you’re tired. What do you think will happen?You may be surprised to find that your day is much like most other days. You’ll probably get hungry when you normally eat and tired when you normally sleep. Even though you don’t know what time it is, your body does.These patterns of daily life are called circadian rhythms（生理节奏）, and they are more than just habits. Inside our bodies are several clocklike systems that follow a roughly 24-hour cycle. Throughout the day and night, our inner clocks direct changes in temperature, body chemicals, hunger, sleepiness and more.Everyone’s rhythms are different, which is why you might like to stay up late while your sister always wants to go to bed early. But on the whole, everyone is programmed to feel tired at night and energetic during the day.Learning about our body clocks may help scientists understand why problems arise when we act out of step with our circadian rhythms. For example, traveling across time zones can make people wake up in the middle of the night. Regularly staying up late can make kids do worse in tests.“There is a growing sense that when we eat and when we sleep are important parts of how healthy we are,” says Steven She a, director of the Sleep Disorders Program at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston. One way to learn about how our body clocks tick is to mess them up and see what happens. That’s what neurologist（神经病学家）Frank Scheer and his workmates did in a recent study.Staying up night after night, their studies suggest, could make kids extra hungry and more likely to gain weight. And regularly sleeping too little, Scheer says, may be one cause of the recent increase in childhood obesity.28. What will happen if you forget about the clock according to the passage?A. Your body will not know what time it is. B . You will feel upset.C. You will behave normally.D. You will probably get hungry more easily.29. Mike feels energetic at 12 midnight while Tom feels sleepy. What advice would be given by the writer?A. Both should see a doctor.B. Tom should see a doctor.C. Mike should have a watch.D. Both should take it easy.30. How do Frank Scheer and his workmates study body clocks?A. By studying people traveling across time zones.B. By asking questions and collecting answers.C. By seeing what happens when they are messed up.D. By programming people with man-made clocks.31. What will the writer most probably talk about next?A. What circadian rhythms are.B. Medicines that can keep people from putting on weight.C. Why it is important to have a normal body clock.D. Other examples of what people will do when their body clocks go wrong.DBabies love reading stories with bright and colorful pictures.

Four steps will help you get the most out of each failure and move on.36 When you feel bad after failing, talk with your parents or good friends, or any other adult. Then decide to take the duty to improve yourself. Read the teachers’ comments on your test carefully.Ask yourself what you were trying to do and why you failed. 37 Maybe you didn’t have all the information you needed; maybe you made a mistake or a poor decision. If so, give yourself a pat on the back. Fewer people ever get something right the first time they try it, and often it takes them many times. 38 Sometimes the failure isn’t because of something you did or didn’t do; it is someone else’s fault. But don’t spend time blaming them; instead, move on toward your goals. 39 Review the situation to see what your choicesare. There is a different between making a decision and giving up. Deciding to follow a better way is one thing; simply walking away means you really have failed.Keep trying again. Successful people are different because they choose their next steps instead of just reacting to feelings. If a goal is still important to you, figure out what to do and go after it again. 40A. If it isn’t, do your best on something else.B. Usually it was because you were trying out a new skill or learning a new subject.C. Failure is unavoidable.D. Actually it was because you were very lazy.E. Don’t give up easily.F. No pains, no gains.G. Remove your bad feelings.第三部分英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节完形填空（共20小题；每题1.5分，满分30分）To me, kindness is a chosen lifestyle. In my classroom, I tell my 41 that every day they are offered a choice.

There’s a good chance you will open one of them this summer.The Joy Luck Club, by Amy TanIt focuses on four Chinese American immigrant families who start a club known as “ the Joy Luck Club”, playing the Chinese game of Mahjong (麻将) for money while feasting on a variety of foods. Because of the differences between Eastern and Western culture, they’ve met lots of troubles.Life of Pi, by Yann MartelAfter a ship full of zoo animals sinks at sea, an Indian boy is trapped on a lifeboat with a Bengal tiger (孟加拉虎).

I admit that I’m a fair-weather bird watcher. Worse, I’m a lazy, fair-weather bird watcher. I don’t like weather extremes, so when it’s very hot or really cold, it is hard to get me to leave the comfortable home. In summer, I only photograph hummingbirds (蜂鸟) in my yard, and in winter, I try to only go out on relatively mild (温和的) days. Most of my bird pictures are done within an hour’s drive of my hometown of Elmira. So it’s all about finding a balance that works.The winter of 2021 was a great period for snowy owls (雪鸮) here in Woolwich Township. One day in early January, I was on my way home from work when I noticed a beautiful snowy owl sitting in a tree right at the crossing. I pulled over to admire him, and then kept heading home unwillingly.Two hundred meters or so down the road, there were two more snowy owls in a field by a fence, and in the next field over, another on top of a fence post. I couldn’t find words to express my feelings at that moment. Thus I rushed home, took my camera and went right back out to get some pictures. It was one of the most magical local birding moments I’ve ever experienced.When I’m looking for excellent opportunities to photograph snowy owls and other birds without spending dozens of hours searching for them, I head to the Canadian Raptor Conservancy (CRC) or the Mountsberg Raptor Centre. I’ve attended so many photo sessions at each of these fantastic places that I’ve lost count of.4．What factor (因素) has the most effect on whether the author goes out to photograph birds or not?A．road conditions.B．personal emotions.C．weather conditions.D．time arrangement.5．How did the author feel when he saw the snowy owls on his way home?A．awkward.B．excited.C．anxious.D．confused.6．What can we learn from the passage?A．Photographing winter birds is gaining great popularity.B．The author prefers to have the pictures done over an hour’s drive from his hometown.C．The author only heads to CRC to photograph snowy owls.D．There were four snowy owls on his way home, one day in early January.7．What can we infer about the author?A．The author only photographs snowy owls.B．The author can take excellent photos easily.C．The author makes a living by photographing birds.D．The author values each chance to photograph birds.Researchers at the University of Alabama in Birmingham suggest that brainwave-sensing headsets (脑电波耳机), also known as EEG headsets, need better safety after a study which shows hackers (黑客) could guess a user’s bank account passwords by monitoring (监测) his brainwaves.Nitesh Saxena, professor in the UAB, and his team found that a person who stopped a video game and entered into a bank account while wearing an EEG headset was at a risk of having his passwords stolen by a bad software program. Saxena and his team used one EEG headset that could be bought by customers online to show how easily an ill software program could eavesdrop on a user’s brainwaves. While typing, a user’s reaction corresponds with his hand, eye and head muscle (肌肉) movements. All these movements are caught by EEG headsets.The team asked 12 people to type passwords into a text box as if they were entering into an online account while wearing an EEG headset, in order for the software to train itself on the user’s typing and the corresponding brainwave. The team found that when a user entered passwords, the ill software program could make educated guesses about the passwords by reading the EEG data recorded. And it just increases the chance of guessing a six-letter password from one in 500,000 to one in five.“With the growing popularity of EEG headsets and all kinds of ways they could be used, they will become part of our daily life,” Saxena said. “It is important to study the possible risks with this new technology to raise users’ awareness to the risks and develop methods of avoiding the bad attacks.” One method suggested by Saxena and his team is to make noise anytime a user types a password while wearing an EEG headset.8．How do hackers guess passwords of a user’s bank account (账户)?A．They use a software program.B．They use a new-type computer.C．They guess the user’s brainwaves.D．They talk with the user on the net. 9．The underlined words “eavesdrop on” in Paragraph 2 refer to “________”.A．recover from B．depend on C．connect closely D．acquire secretly 10．What was the result of the research of Saxena and his team in Paragraph 3?A．They made a very exact answer.B．They got close to the passwords.C．They got a part of the passwords.D．They failed to get the passwords. 11．Why do EEG headsets need to do more to develop solutions?A．More and more hackers come about.B．More people use online bank accounts.C．EEG headsets will become more popular.D．EEG headsets still have problems in quality.Siesta is a Spanish word referring to a nap or rest break usually after lunch. The word “siesta” comes from the Latin base “sexta“, which means sixth and refers to the sixth hour, or “sexta hora”, of daylight.By definition, a siesta takes place six hours after dawn, if the sun rises at 7 am, the “sexta hora” would take place just after noon. However, most people do not time their siesta so literally. Traditionally, a siesta takes place after lunch in the mid afternoon. A small Spanish town called Ador, which still practices a daily siesta, closes all businesses between 2 pm and 5 pm each day. Historically, Spanish companies that built a two-hour break into the workday schedule made the working day end around 8 pm, a practice that continues among many Spanish workers today.Although most people connect the siesta with Spain, its actual birthplace is Italy. Similar midday nap breaks are common around Mediterranean(地中海)and in many Latin American countries, where the midday is often hot. Before air conditioning was invented, the siesta offered a much-needed break from the hottest hours of the day.In recent years, former Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy introduced a plan to end the siesta, which would allow many workers to end their workdays earlier, making Spain’s standard work schedule at the same level with its European neighbors.Although not a widespread practice, some countries outside of the Mediterranean area currently encourage midday napping. For example, parts of Japan have provided nap pods formidday breaks, and falling asleep at work is viewed as a positive sign that a person is working hard. In the US, some sleep researchers are trying to spread the concept of a power nap, which would allow people to briefly(短暂地)sleep while they are at work.12．Why are businesses closed between 2 pm and 5 pm in the town of Ador?A．It is the hottest time of the day.B．It goes with its European neighbors.C．Local people have a daily siesta.D．It is a positive sign of working hard. 13．What can we infer from the practice of siesta around the Mediterranean countries?A．The culture of siesta started from Spain.B．The custom comes from the need of daily life.C．Air-conditioners are a must in hot areas.D．Nap breaks are popular around the world.14．Why did Spain intend to end the siesta practice?A．To have a standard European work schedule.B．There is no need to have a midday break now.C．Spain is not one of the Mediterranean countries.D．To stop workers from working too long.15．What can be the best title of the passage?A．The advantages of midday napping B．The popularity of siesta in SpainC．The reasons to end siestas D．A brief history of siesta二、七选五There are some very strange school rules in the world that might shock you, from not letting you make friends to mopping and cleaning the washrooms. Here are some of them from around the world.Students cannot make best friends in school.That’s right! 16 However, can you imagine if your school banned (禁止) having best friends? No, right? Well, Thomas’s Battersea, a UK-based school, banned having best friends to protect students’ feelings.Teachers cannot use a red ink pen to grade students’ papers.Remember how our entire notebooks were filled with red markings by our teachers?
