He was the headmaster of a school for boys between the ages of thirteen and eighteen. I know that he was a kind and gentle man at heart, because when I was young, he gave me presents, and seated me on his knees, and told me stories, but I believe the boys at his school were afraid of him.At school, when he walked into a room full of noisy boys, there was silence at once. When he looked at a boy with a certain look in his eyes, that boy went red in the face, and looked down at his shoes. If a boy brought him poor, careless work, which was not the best that boy could do, my grandfather picked up the boy’s book and threw it across the room, shouting, “Do it all again, and bring it back early in the morning!” If the boy was late, or if he forgot to bring the work, he had to do it again and again, and yet again. My grandfather never forgot. He was a very different man at school from the man I saw day by day in his own home.41.

If you start a new school, you'll have to worry about making friends. Here are some simple tips which help you make new friends more easily.·Try speaking to the students you're sitting next to in class. As they're close by, it is easy to chat to them first.·Try to speak to everyone in your class.

You can also chat to them at lunchtimes and after school.·Join a lunchtime or afterschool club. You'll get to meet kids of all years that way.·Ask your teacher to pair you With another student.·Use your "celebrity status"(名人身份）! Since you're the new person, you'll have got celebrity status, which you can use for a couple of weeks.·Talk to classmates, remember to smile, and be open and friendly. Don't break in while your classmates are speaking. When your classmates talk to you, you should listen carefully and look at them in the eye to make them feel important.·As you grow older, it's natural to make new friends and sometimes that means you begin to grow apart from your old friends.

I'd wanted to be allowed to climb the stonewalls. But my parents would never approve, because the walls were old, and some stones were missing. I was still eager to climb it, so I asked for their permission.“Can I climb the stonewalls?” I asked nervously. At this moment, my parents sill didn't agree. Before I left the room sadly, my grandfather said, “Let the boy climb the st onewalls. He has to learn to do things for himself.”It took me about two hours to climb those stonewalls. Later I met with my grandfather to tell him about my adventure. I’ll never forget what he said. “Mike, you made this day a special day just by being yourself. Always remember, there's only one person in this whole world like you, and I like you exactly as you are.”Today I host the television program Mister Roger’s Neighborhood, which is liked by millions of children throughout America. There have been changes over the years, but one thing remains the same: my message to children at the end of every visit, “There's only one person in this whole world like you, and people can like you exactly as you are.”51.

It’s not the first time miniskirts have traveled down thecatwalks and filled the show. This year, the small piece of material is celebrating its 40th anniversary.The se_y skirt was created by London designer Mart.Quant in 1963. Quant was an amateur with an art background. She had been designing and producing her own clothes since the late 1950s for a new youthfulmarket. Quant came to the conclusion that fashion should not only e_ist for therich but for everyone, and especially for the young. 〝I had always wanted youngpeople to have a fashion of their own, 〞 she wrote in a book in 1966.The miniskirt captured the world’s imagination. And ithas continued to catch the eye of women, and men, ever since. 〝If I didn’t makethem short enough, the girls who had wonderful legs would get out the scissorsand shorten the skirts themselves,〞 Quant joked.When the mini first arrived in the US in the mid-1960s,it was reduced to a tiny piece of material about 12cm long, which hardly covered a girl’s bottom.Today’s minis are a more modest 25 to 30cm and reachjust below the bottom. But designer David Wang said he would have his minis upto 45cm long, a length which sits comfortably above the knee. 〝The length should be more acceptable for the general public,〞 he e_plained.72.The miniskirts _____.A.will be fashionable for the first time this yearB.is a hottest item in _ fashion showsC.came down from the longer skirtsD.is a kind of hotpants73.Mary Quant thought _____.A.the mini skirt was se_yB.she should stick out her legs as a girlC.fashion belonged to everyoneD.young girls should catch the eyes of women and men74.The designers view for the fashionable mini is _____.A.A shirt would never be wider than it is shortB.the shorter, the betterC.the last season’s modest minis are OKD.the length ought to be accepted by the general public75.The best title of the passage is _____.A.History of the minis!B.Origin of the minis!C.Se_y Skirts!D._ fashion show!●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●学校:考号:班级:姓名:●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●···········密········封········线·············秭归一中高二期中考试英语答题卡听力单选完形阅读改错表达总分1234567891011121314151617181920A A AAAA A AAAAAAAAAAAAAB BBBBBBBBBBBB B B B B B BBC C C C C C C C C C C C C C C C C C C C212223242526272829303132333435A AAAAAAAA A A A A A AB B B B B B B B B B B B B B BC C C C C C C C C C C C C C CD D D DDDDDDDDDDDD3637383940414243444546474849505152535455A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A AB B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B BBC C C C C C C CC C C C C C C C C C CCD D D D D D D D D D D D D D D D。

I stopped at a gas station (加油站) about 50 miles from Oklahoma City, where I was planning to stop and visit a friend. While I was standing in line at the cash register (收款台), I said hello to an older couple who were also paying for gas.I took off , but had gone only a few miles when black smoke poured from the back of my car. I stopped and wondered what I should do. A car pulled up behind me. It was the couple I had spoken to at the gas station. They said they would take me to my friend’s. We chatted on the way into the city, and when I got out of the car, the husband gave me his business card.I wrote him and his wife a thank-you note for helping me. Soon afterward, I received a Christmas present from them. Their note that came with it said that helping me had made their holidays meaningful.Years later, I drove to a meeting in a nearby town in the morning. In late afternoon I returned to my car and found that I’d left the lights on all day, and the battery (电池) was dead. Then I noticed that the Friendly Ford dealership — a shop selling cars — was right next door. I walked over and found two salesmen in the showroom.“Just how friendly is Friendly Ford?” I asked and explained my trouble. They quickly drove a pickup truck to my car and started it. They would accept no payment, so when I got home, I wrote them a note to say thanks. I received a letter back from one of the salesmen. No one had ever taken the time to write him and say thank you, and it meant a lot, he said.“Thank you” — two powerful words. They’re easy to say and mean so much.41．The author planned to stop at Oklahoma City ________.A．to visit a friendB．to see his parentsC．to pay at the cash registerD．to have more gas for his car42．The words “took off” underlined in Paragraph 2 mean “________”.A．turned off B．moved off C．put up D．set up 43．What happened when the author found smoke coming out of his car?A．He had it pulled back to the gas station.B．The couple sent him a business card.C．The couple offered to help him.D．He called his friend for help.44．The battery of the author’s car was dead because ________.A．something went wrong with the lightsB．the meeting lasted a whole dayC．he forgot to turn off the lightsD．he drove too long a distance45．By telling his own experiences, the author tries to show ________.A．how to write a thank-you letterB．how to deal with car problemsC．the kind-heartedness of older peopleD．the importance of expressing thanks“Have a nice day!” may be a pleasant gesture or a meaningless expression. When my friend Maxie says “Have a nice day” with a smile, I know she sincerely cares about what happens to me. I feel loved and secure since another person cares about me and wishes me well.“Have a nice day. Next!” This version of the expression is spoken by a salesgirl at the supermarket who is rushing me and my groceries out the door. The words come out in the same tone(腔调)with a fixed procedure. They are spoken at me, not to me.Obviously, the concern for my day and everyone else’s is the management’s attempt to increase business. The expression is one of those behaviors that help people get along with each other. Sometimes it indicates the end of a meeting. As soon as you hear it, you know the meeting is at an end. Sometimes the expression saves us when we don’t know what to say. “Oh, you just had a tooth out? I’m terribly sorry, but have a nice day.”The expression can be pleasant. If a stranger says “Have a nice day” to you, you may find it heart-warming because someone you don’t know has tried to be nice to you.Although the use of the expression is an insincere, meaningless social custom at times, there is nothing wrong with the sentence except that it is a little uninteresting. The salesgirl, the waitress, the teacher, and all the countless others who speak it without thinking may not really care about my day. But in a strange and comfortable way, it’s nice to know they care enoughto pretend they care when they really don’t care all that much. While the expression may not often be sincere, it is always spoken. The point is that people say it all the time when they like.46．How does the author understand Maxie’s words?A．Maxie shows her anxiety to the author.B．Maxie really wishes the author a good day.C．Maxie encourages the author to stay happy.D．Maxie really worries about the author’s security.47．What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 mean?A．The salesgirl is rude.B．The salesgirl is bored.C．The salesgirl cares about me.D．The salesgirl says the words as a routine.A．try to be polite to you B．express respect to youC．give his blessing to you D．share his pleasure with youA．sincerely B．as thanksC．as a habit D．encouragingly50．What is the best title of the passage?A．Have a Nice Day — a Social CustomB．Have a Nice Day — a Pleasant GestureC．Have a Nice Day — a Heart-warming GreetingD．Have a Nice Day — a Polite Ending of a Conversation四、选用适当的单词或短语补全句子75．Gradually, they the Kunqu Opera,Yiyang Opera,Hanju Opera and Luantan,and formed the present Beijing Opera.76．her contribution in serving the society,she was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize aged 69.77．She ignored him and with her work.78．Many developed nations are now concerned about saving nature developing or destroying it.79．All the candidates are excellent,but I like the last one — his experience is just what we need at the moment.80．It is impolite to the warm-hearted offer.五、邀请信81．假如你是李华，计划和同学去敬老院(nursing home)陪老人们过重阳节(the Double Ninth Festival)。

I never thought my dream would come true so soon,” Chinese ballet dancer Chun Wai Chan recalled the scene when he got the news in May that he was promoted to the principal dancer with New York City Ballet (NYCB), the company’s first Chinese and fourth Asian principal dancer in 74 years.Born in Huizhou City, South China’s Guangdong Province in 1992, Chan has become attached to dance since childhood. However, his parents preferred him to be a doctor or a lawyer in the future. The uncompromising boy then wrote a seven-page letter to his parents describing his determination to study dance.Thanks to the sincere letter, Chan finally gained the support of his family, and at the age of 12, he was admitted to Guangzhou Arts School, marking the start of his dream-seeking journey. Chan’s first turning point in life came at the age of 18, when he was a finalist in the 2010 Prix de Lausanne, which earned him a full scholarship to study with Houston Ballet’s second company, Houston Ballet II. Two years later, Chan joined Houston Ballet and became a principal in 2017. There, he gained a reputation as a confident and sensitive performer. In 2020, he appeared as a contestant on the Chinese television show Dance Smash on Hunan Satellite TV, which gained him a large following.Chan returned to New York last year, and was finally promoted to the principal dancer with the NYCB in May this year. He attributes his success to his passion, hard work, concentration, perseverance and the pursuit of excellence.In China, Chan’s success has become a source of pride. News of his promotion to principal dancer was widely circulated, and he has been featured repeatedly in the Chinese media, under headlines like “The Ballet Knight” and “After Dance Smash, he conquered New York.”After performances, audience members sometimes tell Chan that they have never seen Asian dancers in leading roles. He has been moved to hear young dancers of color say his example has given them hope for their own careers. “I used to think I danced just for myself,”he said. “Now I’m dancing for my family, for the audience, for the whole dance community.”4．What can we learn about Chan?A．He is the first Asian principal dancer.B．He is fond of dancing when he was young.C．His parents have supported him from the beginning.D．He gained the popularity in the 2010 Prix de Lausanne.5．What does the underlined word “uncompromising” in paragraph 2 mean?A．Fearless.B．Cautious.C．Thoughtful.D．Determined. 6．Which of the following can best describe Chan?A．Generous and considerate.B．Passionate and devoted.C．Warm-hearted and ambitious.D．Perseverant and talented7．Chan changed his opinion about the significance of dancing because ________.A．he got a lot of praises from the audience B．he had been promoted to principal dancer C．he realized his dance inspired other dancers D．he received persistent support from his familyA lot of businesses are started by people who have hobbies or special talents and want to turn these interests into a business. But switching from a hobby to a real business requires business know-how and investments, which stops many people. However, an increasing number of ambitious business owners have found a way to take a first step. They are taking their dreams and talents on the road—in vans and lorries, and even horse trucks.Beginning on a small scale has its advantages, the most important of which is the relatively modest size of start-up costs. These costs, which consist primarily of, the vehicle and any required equipment, usually come to about only £5,000-£10,000. With such tightly controlled costs, mobile businesses often break even in a year or two; in contrast, success comes to brick-and-mortar businesses much more slowly, and they often fail within the first two years. In short, mobile businesses are relatively low-risk.The first entrepreneurs (企业家) to do this have been in the food business. The mobile food vendor trend in the US and Europe has spread to other parts of the globe. The success of these street food vans has inspired other entrepreneurs to consider starting out on wheels.UK entrepreneurs could take inspiration from the US where, today, there are vehicles that sell flowers, shoes, clothes and all kinds of specialty food items. There are also mobilebusinesses that provide services, such as hair styling, pet grooming and repair of high-tech devices. Mobile retail is not without problems, however. Weather, the increasing price of fuel, and just finding a place to set up are all challenges that mobile entrepreneurs have to deal with. These business owners, however, feel the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. In the US, the mobile food business alone generates an average annual revenue of $857 million.Once convinced that their business has achieved enough success, some successful mobile entrepreneurs move on to a brick-and-mortar business. Others are satisfied to stay mobile. As stand-alone businesses or as extensions of shops, mobile retail has huge future potential in these economic times.8．What’s the major cause for the rise of mobile business?A．High profit.B．Strong interest.C．Low investment.D．Convenient transport.9．How does the author prove the advantages of the mobile business in paragraph 2?A．By quoting a famous saying.B．By giving an exampleC．By providing an explanation.D．By making a comparison.10．Which of the following will make it harder for the owners to run the business?A．The vehicle care.B．The business permit.C．The terrible storm.D．The insufficient supply.11．What’s the author’s attitude towards the future of mobile business?A．Negative.B．Positive.C．Unconcerned.D．Neutral.On holiday, many will find themselves in places where they do not speak the language. Once upon a time, they might have carried a phrasebook. The rise of English has made that less necessary. But most people still do not speak English. That leaves options like gestures, or, increasingly, technology.Google Translate may be the best-known name in machine translation, but it often goes wrong. Take “my wife is gluten-free,” the kind of thing you might say at a restaurant abroad. In French or Italian, Google Translate interprets this as “my wife is without gluten (谷蛋白)” — true to the words rather than the meaning.The best tool may not be a translation app at all. ChatGPT, an AI system that generates articles according to users’ instructions, is multilingual. Users can tell ChatGPT to “write a message in Spanish to a waiter that my wife and I would like the tasting menu, but that she isgluten-free, so we would like substitutions for anything that has gluten.” And out pops a perfect paragraph, including the way Spanish-speakers actually say “my wife is gluten-free”: mi esposa es celiaca. It is more like having a native-speaking dinner companion.Travel has long been a motivator for study — unless people start to feel AI tools offer a good-enough service. Some are concerned that apps are turning language learning into a decreasing pursuit. Douglas Hofstadter, a polyglot and polymath writer, has argued that something profound will disappear when people talk through machines. He describes giving a difficult speech in Mandarin, which required a lot of work but offered a sense of accomplishment at the end. Who would boast of taking a helicopter to the top of Mount Everest?Others are less worried. Most people do not move abroad or have lasting contact with a foreign culture that requires them to put in the work to become fluent.

Of course, they know aboutHere are three specific strategies that Juan Rodriguez discovered in a particularly difficult calculus class.17 He had read that students who sit in the front pay more attention and are more engaged. In addition, professors are more likely to notice the students who this behavior is that it required almost no effort.Another strategy was previewing the information that the instructor was going to introduce. Juan would go over the new material the day before the lecture and come to the class with an idea of that day’s lecture topic. 18 In addition, by previewing the information, Juan was able to write down questions to ask the teacher in class.Finally, Juan found a classmate who was already good at calculus. By asking for his help, Juan received different explanations from those of his instructor. He soon understood difficult terms and worked out some problems on his own. 19While many college students work hard to achieve academic success, not everyone knows what it takes to reach this goal. 20 If a student makes these adjustments to his or her academic habits, as Juan did, he or she will likely be more successful.A．However, there are other strategies that can help.B．Students can learn and use these three simple habits.C．Talking with classmates was the final strategy Juan found.D．Choosing to sit in the front of the class was one of Juan’s strategies.E．He was more comfortable with the information because it was not new to him.F．Having an “expert” friend greatly improved his chances of success in the course.G．Juan took the first step toward improving his performance by sitting in the front of the classroom.三、完形填空We all remember our first days of high-school, college, our first job.
