When it got dark, they went quietly into the neighbor's garden and put the dead rabbit into the hutch.The next afternoon, Mrs. Green's neighbor found her in the garden with the dead rabbit. She walked to the neighbor and she felt very afraid. Because she knew she did something wrong. “You know what?” her neighbor said. “Yesterda y morning I found one of my rabbits dead in the hutch.

In order to rule his kingdom, he decided to learn all the wisdom of world. Therefore, he gathered all the wise men from his kingdom and abroad and ordered them to look for books for him to read and learn from.Five years passed quickly. The wise men returned with their camels, carrying 5000 books full of wisdom. Seeing so many books, the king was so shocked that he didn’t know how to start. So he ordered the wise men to condense the books and bring them back to him. Another five years passed. The wise men again went to see the king, this time bringing 500 books, but the king still thought there were too many. Five more years passed. The wise men brought back 50 books. At this time, the king was troubled with many problems, but he still felt were too many books.During the next few years, the wise men worked hard to condense the 50 books into one book and present it to the king. The king took no interest in reading this book, nor did he have time to learn from it. More problems broke out in his kingdom---his enemies endlessly attacked and diseases affected his people. He did not have the wisdom to solve these problems.

Shenzhou X, China’s fifth manned spacecraft, was sent into space. Three astronauts, Nie Haisheng, 49, Zhang Xiaoguang, 47, and Wang Yaping, 33, stayed in space for 15 days.Tiangong-1 is China’s first space module(舱). It was sent into space in 2011. It will be developed into a large space station around 2020. A space station is a lab for scientific studies.Shenzhou X performed its first docking(对接)with Tangong-1 on June 13. It docked twice during the 15 days.The US, Russia, Japan, Canada and Europe are working together on the International Space Station (ISS).China wanted to join the ISS but was refused by the US. China decided to build its own space station.Shenzhou X flew around the Tianggong-1 lab for the first time. This was to make sure that spacecraft could dock from more than just one direction. The astronauts carried out repair work and did experiments on the Tiangong-1. Teaching from spaceWang Yaping, China’s second woman astronaut, taught high school and primary scho ol students about space science. Wang talked about how things move in a micro-gravity(微重量)environment. This helped the students better understand some physics ideas, like Newton’s Law. The lessons aimed to encourage more students to learn about the universe and science.Life up in spaceThe three astronauts followed a work and rest schedule(作息时间)that is similar on the Earth. They had Chinese dishes, such as Kung Pao Chicken and fried rice. The food was kept in special bags. At the time of the Dragon Boat Festival, they had Zongzi.1.Shenzhou X, China’s fifth manned spacecraft was sent into space _______.A.on June 11, 2013 B.on June 13, 2013C.on June 11, 2011 D.on June 13, 20112.Among the three astronauts Nie Haisheng is _______.A.the youngest B.the oldestC.the tallest D.the strongest3.Tiangong-1 is _______ which was sent into space in 2011.A.a space station B.a manned spacecraftC.a space module D.a space lab4.China decided to build its own space station because________.A.China was very richB.the US refused China to join the ISSC.Chinese scientists wanted to do experiment in spaceD.the astronauts wanted to stay there5.Wang Y aping taught the lesson to encourage students to________.A.become the next NewtonB.experience micro-gravityC.learn more about the universe and scienceD.know more about the life of astronauts6.From the last paragraph, we can learn that the three astronauts _______.A.had a different time schedule in spaceB.cooked Chinese food for dinnerC.celebrated Dragon Boat Festival by having ZongziD.slept in special sleeping bagsF18、If you ever go to the US and eat at a restaurant, there’s a very important difference you should know about. US people have a custom to give money to waiters and waitresses as a tip for their work.But why is this? Shouldn’t waiters get paid enough by their bosses? Well, many waiters and waitresses get paid below the US minimum wage (最低工资) and work for tips to make up for that. According to the American travel website TripAdvisor, some states pay their servers (服务员) only $2.13 (about 14 yuan) per hour.While no one makes you tip, if you are at a sit-down restaurant, it is usually expected that you tip your waiter 15 to 20percent of what your bill is.It’s not just for waiters either. Hotel maids, hairdre ssers and taxi drivers also usually work for tips. But it is much more expected to tip waiters.The US hasn’t always had this tipping culture. In fact, people were mostly against it until the Prohibition Era (禁酒令时代) in the 1920s. The government said no one could sell alcohol (酒). Then, restaurants had trouble making enough money. So they started to ask people to tip their waiters.This tipping culture has lasted through the years, but most people don’t like it. Some think restaurant bosses use it as an excu se to not pay their workers well. There isn’t much action being taken to make a change yet. So for now, be sure to tip your waiter when in the US.1.If a server works eight hours a day, he can get from his boss.A.$2.13 B.$17.04 C.¥142.Besides waiters and waitresses, also works for tips in the US.A.customers B.taxi drivers C.restaurant bosses3.When the restaurants couldn’t sell alcohol,.A.they were bankrupt (破产的) and closed downB.the bosses still made much moneyC.they started to ask people to tip4.We can learn from the passage that .A.the waiters and waitresses aren’t well paid in the USB.the custom of giving tips only appears in the USC.all Americans are glad to tip their waiters5.About American’s tipping culture, foreign visitors think .A.they need to fight for their own rightsB.they should “do as the Romans do”C.they can leave it aloneⅤ.书面表达19、书面表达根据青少年读书少的现象,请根据表格中所提供的信息,用英语写一份向全校同学提出的倡议。

bus,I was so thankful to find a window seat.When I sat there,I saw an old man watching me."Excuse me?Can I sit here?"His voice was deep."Yes,of course!"I said.He looked kind of nervous,or tired.He let out a sigh(叹气)and relaxed a bit in his seat."Hi,I'm Tony."I said as I gave him my right hand to shake."George."He looked at me for a couple of seconds before accepting my hand.He was friendly and we talked about this trip.I knew he was 70 and headed to Birmingham to visit his son and grandchildren.I told him about my grandfather,and we both seemed to relax.Our conversation was rudely interrupted by my stomach.I took out a sandwich and took a big bite.I noticed George was watching me eating.He probably was hungry."Would you eat with me?"I said as I handed him my second sandwich."No,no,I don't want to eat your food.You will need that for your next coach.""No,I won't.I will eat again on the plane.Plus,I don't really like eating alone."The determination(决心)on my face must have been very persuasive(有说服力的),because after a moment's hesitation(犹豫),he nodded his head weakly and accepted the sandwich.After eating,I decided that I should have a nap.I had an hour to kill before we reached Birmingham.The sudden tap(轻拍)on my shoulder made me open my eyes.It was George.He told me we had reached Birmingham.I said,"Nice to meet you,George.I hope you have a great time with your family."As I extended(伸出)my hand for a final handshake,he not only took it,but cupped it in both his hands."Thank you for being so kind to me.Safe travels."He said and turned around to get off the bus.I didn't

one kind of exercise in controlling attention.Meditators use some practices,like keeping focus on breathing,to strengthen the ability to take control over what their minds are doing.While meditators have long experienced its benefits,science only recently discovered that the mental effort of meditation is good exercise for the brain.Meditation has much to do with cognition,a term to describe the thought processes inside our heads(like focusing,making decisions,and remembering)that allow us to understand the world.Meditators are really good at using several cognitive abilities to stay focused.When they learn that their minds wander(走神),they quickly bring their attention back,which is like doing a mental push﹣up.All these mental push﹣upsend up strengthening their ability to change their thoughts based on what they are doing right now,like changing from doing math to reading when they go to different classes.Groups of brain areas that communicate are called brain networks,and the health of the brain depends on the ability of brain networks to communicate well.Science has shown that meditation can improve sustained attention,which is how well a person can keep their attention on something hard for a long time.Scientists can measure improvements in sustained attention by looking for increases in certain brain waves,using EEG(脑电图).It proves that meditation can make the brain areas involved in attention communicate with each other more easily.Meditation can even change the way that meditators' brain networks communicate,by bringing new,helpful brain areas into the conversation or getting rid of a brain area that is too loud and distracting (分心的).As a result,meditators get better at focusing their attention away from negative thoughts and feelings and putting themselves into a good mood.These changes take a long time and a lot of work.People need to make meditation a habit and guidance from a teacher can be helpful.Yet,not everyone can afford a personal teacher.That's where technology steps in.Scientists have made apps that provide tips and help people meditate at their own levels.While some digital meditation apps have been carefully studied by scientists,some need to be tested.So,it is important to be careful at first about whether an app really works.(1)According to the passage,when people meditate,they .A.try to control their focusB.focus on what goes aroundC.make important decisionsD.develop the ability to communicate(2)What can we learn from the passage?A.Meditators end their practice when their minds wander.B.Meditation makes it possible for people to have happier moods.C.Certain brain waves decrease when sustained attention improves.D.Digital meditation apps work better than personal meditation teachers.(3)What might be the best title for the passage?A.How does meditation benefit the brain?B.How do people make meditation a habit?C.How does technology improve meditation?D.How do meditalors better their mental health?16.We all experience different levels of stress,and we can manage a certain amount of it while still feeling comfortable and fulfilled.But everywhere you look today,some people are stressed out.Why do people seem to have more stress?Many researchers agree that stress comes down to the larger number of tasks and our higher expectations.But we believe there is more to consider.The attitudes towards the tasks can also influence the level of stress.An attitude is the way that you think and feel about things.Bad attitudes towards the tasks can slow down the management of the tasks.Some people may be overwhelmed(压倒)by their growing list of to﹣do items.This can lead to anxiety.For many,anxiety can be painful.For some,anxiety can be so painful that they may avoid tasks big and small.Avoidance can lead to an expanding list of unfinished tasks.When some one reminds us to face what we have not completed or when a new pressure has been added,the burden(负担)becomes too much.For example,if someone tells us tomorrow is the deadline of our projects or a new one is given to us,we are facing the accumulation(积累)of stress.One of the elements that influence attitudes is emotions.Emotions are powerful internal(内部的)experiences that influence attitudes and behaviors by shaping ideas,evaluations,and decision﹣making processes.Pleasant emotions tend to promote positive attitudes,while unpleasant emotions can lead to negative attitudes.Furthermore,negative emotions will reduce the thinking process that is necessary to handle stress.For example,shame over unfinished projects or unmet expectations can push us down,and negative judgment can create a lack of self﹣belief,which can affect performance and the overall management of stress.When you're stressed out and have a bad attitude on top of that stress,you will feel that even the simplest tasks are boring and impossible to do,which can increase your stress level.But if we want to have less stress on our tasks,it's time to have proper attitudes.(1)You will most probably experience the accumulation of stress when you .A.leave your tasks to the last minuteB.have comfortable feelings at schoolC.have positive attitudes towards your workD.are able to finish your homework correctly every day(2)Why does the writer talk about anxiety in Paragraph 3?A.To provide examples of the growing list.B.To show a new way to face the stress.C.To help us know the importance of the tasks.D.To explain the relationship between attitudes and stress.(3)What do you know about the attitudes and emotions from the passage?A.Emotions are a kind of behaviors guided by attitudes.B.Pleasant emotions can lead to negative attitudes.C.Emotions are easier to change than attitudes.D.Attitudes are affected by emotions.(4)The writer probably agrees that .A.positive attitudes can help people feel less stressedB.people can change attitudes by observing people around themC.high expectation is a key part of effective stress managementD.people have pleasant emotions when they fall behind on tasks17.Every time I look at the many recent orders on my online shopping account,or I receive a new package on my doorstep,I get a feeling of happiness that is hard to give up.Although I know that my shopping habits are bad for the planet,I just can't stop.But Ann﹣Christine Duhaime's new book,Minding the Climate:How Neuroscience Can Help Solve Our Environmental Crisis,has helped me understand that my desire(渴望)to keep buying things isn't necessarily a personal weakness —it's the way our brains have developed.According to Duhaime,we managed to stay alive even when things were hard because our brains learned to repeat decisions like moving towards a tasty treat or backing away from danger.Today,we have some 86 billion neurons (神经元)in the brain continuously working to strengthen rewarding behavior—a kind of action thatresults in a positive outcome,which makes a person want to do it again.As the neurons work,they produce dopamine(多巴胺),which makes our rewarding behavior feel even better than usual.We actively look for more dopamine,and at the same time,learn to repeat the actions that lead to it.However,Duhaime stresses that our brains are not programmed to keep buying more and more.All humans are different,and our brains work differently depending on our genetics(遗传性)and our life experiences.The challenge is that our brain systems are designed for short﹣term decision﹣making.When we buy something new,we get rewarded immediately.But the long﹣term worsening of the planet is harder for the reward centers of our brains to understand,even if we know about it.And there may be some ways to break the cycle.The best is not to stop buying things completely;a better solution may be to substitute the old rewards that we know aren't good in the long run with new ones.For example,you can have a glass of milk,which gives you fewer calories,instead of eating chocolate just before bed for comfort.Once you start losing weight,the reward of being able to fit into your old clothes feels as good as what the chocolate would do.We need that same substitution for shopping.Buying used things could also help satisfy our desire to get more things without using more natural resources.Additionally,creating social rewards,like encouragement and support from a community with similar

"Curious,she asked her grandmother about it."That is the tradition of our family,"her grandmother explained."Every day,for generations(世代),we complete one act of kindness and take it down.No matter

behaviours.Winston Churchill noted:"We shape our buildings and then our buildings shape us."Buildings and the city environment have been found to influence our general emotion and wellbeing.Architects(建筑师)have often been focused on their imagination and design above how a space may influence its residents(居住者).However,there are a number of architects moving in a new direction,interested in creating people﹣centred building designs.Research carried out by Colin Ellard of the University of Waterloo,Canada,has found that people are often strongly affected by building plex (复杂的)and interesting appearance design influences people much more positively than simple design.Many studies have shown the value of green space and woodland in a city environment and how they can help to reduce the stress that comes with city life.The visual (视觉的)complexity of green spaces plays into Ellard's theory that the human brain prefers complex and lively environment.Another study in Iceland in 2023 found that streets which vary because of their architecture were the most emotionally pleasant.This all leads to the idea that we want variation in our environments.Another research has shown that growing up in an city environment can double a person's chance of developing problems such as worry.It shows that the stress of city life is something that needs to be considered and new spaces should be designed with stress management and wellness in mind.It would be wrong to say style isn't important.We want things which look fantastic as well as work practically,but things can go wrong and influence us negatively if style becomes more important than the building itself.Architects who want to show their skills must consider the purpose of the building.For example,schools should look bright with open spaces,green areas and comfortable corners for reading and learning.No one wants a building to create bad feelings.If we can create spaces which appeal to residents,as well as achieving their purpose,then the end result is much more satisfying and much more likely to stand the test of time.Our cities are set to grow year on year with no end in sight,so we should make sure new development s are built more with people in mind.(1)What do you know about architects from the passage?A.They are running out of creativity.B.Their stress needs to be considered.C.They have to take tests from time to time.D.Their design starts to focus on human feelings.(2)The writer probably agrees that .A.there should be more buildings in green colour in citiesB.visually complex design is more likely to create stressC.it is a must to consider the building itself and its styleD.buildings with simple appearance bring us comfort(3)The words"appeal to"in the last paragraph are closest in meaning to .A.pleaseB.houseC.shapeD.upset(4)What is the writer's main purpose in writing this passage?A.To criticize architects for their great mistakes.B.To call for the people﹣centred design of buildings.C.To suggest how to make architectures emotionally pleasant.D.To stress the importance of architectures to a city environment.15.A 16﹣year﹣old boy named Li Tao lived in a small town in China.One day,while Li Tao was doing his science homework,he came up with a great idea.He worked out a way to make a new type of power supply(供应)for his town,which had a problem with its electricity supply.To make his idea come true,Li Tao began to experiment at home.He was so confident that nothing could stop him from inventing.He made and took apart many models.Even though he faced lots of challenges and failures,he didn't give up.He fixed his mistakes,changed his plans,and kept working hard.After two years of hard work,he finally succeeded.He made a small device(设备)that could change wind power into electrical power successfully.This was a new,environmentally﹣friendly way for his town's power problem.News about Li Tao's invention quickly spread around his school and town,and everyone really took pride in his achievement.The group of science﹣technology of the town decided to help him improve the invention.He was invited to give a speech to encourage other teenagers to learn more about science and be more creative in the Science and Technology Meeting.His story encourages teenagers that being young is not a barrier(阻碍)to achieve their dreams.Even a common teenager can do something amazing!(1)What was the problem of the town where Li Tao lived?A.Water pollution.B.Experiment device testing.C.Electricity supply.D.Wind power lightning protection.(2)When Li Tao faced challenges and failures,he .A.encouraged other teenagers to join himB.fixed his mistakes and kept working hardC.gave a speech and learnt more about scienceD.asked the group of science﹣technology for help(3)How did people feel after knowing Li Tao's invention?A.Excited.B.Proud.C.Confident.D.Surprised.16.We rely on our memory for sharing stories with friends or learning from our past experiences.Yet evidence shows that our memory isn't as consistent as we'd like to believe.There are countless reasons why tiny mistakes might happen each time we recall past events.And whenever these mistakes happen,they can have long﹣term effects on how we'll recall that memory in the future.Take storytelling for example.When we describe our memories to other people,we might ask ourselves whether it's important to get the facts straight,or whether we only want to make the listener laugh.And we might change the story's details depending on the listener's attitudes.It isn't only the message that changes,but sometimes it's also the memory itself.This is known as the"audience﹣tuning effect",showing us how our memories can change automatically over time,as a product of how,when,and why we access them.In fact,sometimes simply the act of repeating a memory can be exactly what makes it easy to change.This is known as"retrieval﹣enhanced suggestibility".In a typical study of this effect,participants watched a short film,then took a memory test a few days later.But during the days between watching the film and taking the final test,two other things happened.First,half of the participants took a practice memory test.Second,all of the participants were given a description of the film to read,which contained some false details.Participants who took a practice memory test shortly before reading the false information were more likely to reproduce this false information inthe final memory test.Why might this be?One theory is that repeating our memories of past events can temporarily make those memories malleable.In other words,retrieving (找回)a memory might be a bit like taking ice﹣cream out of the freezer and leaving it in direct sunlight for a while.By the time our memory goes back into the freezer,it might have naturally become a little misshapen,especially if someone has influenced it purposely in the meantime.These findings lead us to wonder how much our most treasured memories have changed since the very first time we remembered them.Remembering is an act of storytelling,after all.And our memories are only ever as reliable as the most recent story we told ourselves.(1)The writer takes storytelling for example to prove that .A.it is impossible to change the listener's attitudesB.it is important to describe our memories directlyC.we can make other people laugh to y telling storiesD.we may change our memories according to the listener(2)What do you know about memory from the passage?A.Our memories can change our personalities.B.Our memories can correct mistakes on their own.C.We can take a practice memory test to strengthen our memories.D.We can reproduce the information while repeating our memories.(3)The word"malleable"in Paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to .A.reasonableB.valuableC.changeableD.controllable17.Clean electricity is the power of the future,but engineers are facing a big challenge.How can we store electricity to be used at times when the wind is not blowing and the sun is not shining?In some cases,the answer will be batteries;but in other cases,it could come from a variety of different solutions—starting with gravity.Gravity is the most abundant source of power on Earth.It's always been everywhere since the beginning of time.Nobody knew about it until around 1700,when Isaac Newton saw an apple fall from a tree in hisgarden.Newton asked himself the question:"Why did that apple fall to the ground?" And he soon worked out the answer.Everything will fall to the ground if it can do so,because there is a massive force that pulls things towards the centre of the earth.Newton decided to call this force "gravity",a word that then just meant "weight".Engineers have used gravity as a source of power for centuries,long before Newton first explained it.In particular,they used gravity to move water from one place to another to irrigate(灌溉)field s and bring water to cities.They knew that water would flow downhill,but never uphill,so they built structures to use the force of gravity most effectively.In 1907,engineers in Switzerland first used gravity for a new purpose:to store energy.They pumped(用泵抽送)water up a hill,where they stored it in a lake.Then when they needed more electricity,they let the water come back down the hill,driving electric turbines(涡轮机)as it fell.The idea was just so simple,and it is now used in many parts of the world.However,the problem is that "pumped storage" hydro schemes(抽水蓄能水电方案)can't be built just anywhere,as they need lots of water and big hills or mountains.Some experts believe that gravity systems are the cheapest way to store electricity.Gravity﹣stored electricity is maybe half the price of battery﹣stored electricity,but even so it is not cheap.In order to make gravity more effective,we would need to increase its force—and that,of course,is quite impossible.Yet gravity is not the only way of storing energy,and engineers are working on systems that store it using water pressure or compressed air...and even sand!Storage is one of the big scientific challenges of our time,as storage is the essential partner of wind power and solar power.We need clean electricity 24 hours a day,not just when the sun is shining or the wind is blowing.(1)The word "abundant" in Paragraph 2 probably means .A.expensiveB.environmentalC.famousD.plentiful(2)From the passage,we can know that .A.gravity systems are the cheapest way to store electricityB."pumped storage" hydro schemes can be built on small hillsC.engineers in Switzerland first stored energy by using gravity creativelyD.experts have already made gravity more effective by increasing its force(3)Why does the author write this passage?A.To tell the story of finding gravity.B.To show the importance of gravity.C.To call on people to use clean electricity.D.To introduce a good way to store electricity.四.书面表达(共1小题)18.某英文网站正在开展以"突破自我,我拼过"为主题的征文活动。

" Carter asked Grandma.Grandma laughed."I've wondered that for many years."They were sitting on the beach watching Grandpa and some of his friends in the ocean."None of my friends even knows what a waveski is,"Carter continued."Just tell them it's a lot like surfing(冲浪),but the riders sit on top of a waveski.When the waves come,they will ride the wave just like a surfer;only they paddle to get out to the waves.""Nobody's grandpa does this."Grandma laughed."Well,what should he be doing instead?""I don't know.Maybe things that old people do.""Look!A big wave is coming in!"Grandma pointed to the ocean.Carter saw Grandpa in front of his friends.He was leaning(倾斜)forward and paddling hard,just ahead of the large incoming wave.Carter was surprised at how hard Grandpa was paddling and how fast he wasmoving.Just then,another huge wave came.Carter jumped to his feet and held his breath.This was not good.What if something bad happened?As the wave drew near,Grandpa paddled harder.He was suddenly lifted by the water and stopped paddling.He leaned toward the wave,changing the direction of the waveski.Now,he was riding the wave,moving fast.Carter was amazed.Grandpa was totally in control.Carter now realized his grandpa wasn't weird at all.He was amazing.Absolutely amazing!"Go Grandpa!"Carter shouted,even though he knew Grandpa couldn't hear him.When the wave was gone,Grandpa turned toward the beach and waved to Carter and Grandma.He looked so happy.Carter waved back.He wasn't sure why,but he had tears in his eyes.He quickly dried them and then waved again."Do you think I can be the one riding waves like him?""Of course,"Grandma said.(1)Carter thought his grandpa was weird because Grandpa .A.had a special hobbyB.disliked being with his friendsC.seldom played with

oral exam in the local library and people kept disturbing(打扰)me.I was getting more and more annoyed and the more upset I got,the less I was able to concentrate.I couldn't stand when I heard someone singing loudly behind me.I turned around and glared at the person who was singing.It was a tall girl about the same age as me and she was standing with a book in her hands.I picked up my books,looked at her and said angrily,"Thanks to your noise.I've been unable to study.You're so selfish!"Then I left the library in a hurry.When I got home,I realized I'd left my textbook behind and there was nothing I could do as the library was closed.I was so upset that I almost cried.Just then,the phone rang.A girl named Jenny had noticed my book in the library and she got my phone number from the librarian.She said she didn't live far away and could bring it around for me.I was so grateful and agreed to meet her at the store down the road.When I recognized Jenny was the girl I had shouted at for singing,I was filled with shame and apologized several times for my rude behavior.Jenny was kind enough to pardon me.Ever since then we've been best friends and we got along very well.I often think how lucky I am!We two girls are much alike and I trust her more than anyone else.From the experience I know that the first impression is untrue sometimes and we can't judge a person only by the first impression.(1)The writer went to the local library to .A.meet her best friendB.borrow some booksC.prepare for the examD.get back her textbook(2)What did the writer do when she heard someone singing?A.She left the library nervously.B.She shouted at the girl angrily.C.She was too upset to say a word.D.She argued with the girl immediately.(3)Why did the writer think she was lucky at last?A.Because she met kind Jenny.B.Because Jenny pardoned her.C.Because Jenny returned her book.D.Because she passed the exam.16.When Helen Keller was nineteen months old,a brief illness made her both deaf and blind.With such limitations,how could Keller ever be expected to find happiness?Because happiness has been considered a personal concept,it is difficult to define (定义).Many people throughout history have tried.Greek scientist and philosopher Aristotle wrote,"Happiness depends upon ourselves," which is not a definition but an observation that individuals are responsible for their own happiness.Roman statesman and philosopher Lucius Seneca wrote of a particular quality of happiness,saying,"True happiness is to enjoy the present,without anxious dependence upon the future."Is there a scientific basis (基础)for happiness?Researcher suggests happiness is a matter of perspective:"Truly happy individuals construe life events and daily situations in ways that seem to maintain their happiness,while unhappy individuals construe (理解)experiences in ways that seem to reinforce unhappiness".Basically,this means the way you choose to remember events and situations affects your happiness.Some research concludes happiness is made up of three parts:pleasure,engagement and meaning.Pleasure involves things that give physical and emotional joy,such as playing a sport or seeing beautiful art.Engagement involves positive interactions (互动)with other people,such as studying or working with people whose company you enjoy.Meaning relates to feeling that your work is useful and important to others.Even with scientific rationalization (合理化),questions remain.For example,are younger people happier than older people?In fact,the opposite seems to be true.This may be because younger people tend to experience higher levels of negative emotions,such as anxiety and anger.The young also have less control over their lives because they lack both independence and the ability to make many of their own decisions.Perhaps the most important question is whether you can change how happy you are.Studies of identical twins suggest that genetics forms about half of your happiness level.Your quality of life influences about 10 percent ofyour happiness.That means about 40 percent of your happiness is determined by your choices and actions.From this explanation we can see that one way you can make yourself happier is to set goals.Keller had a definition of happiness in keeping with this idea.She felt happiness did not come from simply trying to satisfy your own desires but rather by contributing your time and skills to improve the world in some way.Even if you are unable to achieve a goal that makes the world better in some small way,simply trying will likely give your life meaning and,at the same time,happiness.(1)Why does the writer mention the words of Aristotle and Seneca?A.To show what is the definition of happiness.B.To suggest that we should enjoy the present.C.To explain why we can choose to be happy or not.D.To stress that people have different ideas about happiness.(2)What can you learn from the passage?A.People should communicate with others positively.B.The young may prefer to make decisions on their own.C.Your happiness influences the way to understand your life.D.Your happiness largely depends on your situation of your life.(3)According to Helen Keller,you may feel happier when you .A.choose your dream schoolB.do clean﹣up in your neighborhoodC.watch your favorite movieD.talk with your closest friends(4)Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A.A Special Quality of HappinessB.The Positive Effect of HappinessC.The True Meaning of HappinessD.A Scientific Basis of Happiness17.It is so easy to describe people as being talented.Just look at any headline praising a piece of artwork,music,or other great feat,and you are likely to see the word "talented" or "gifted".However,is being talented a true marker of success?Some people believe that talent plays a key role in achieving success fast.Those with natural ability in a particular field can often gain success rapidly with less effort.For example,a person with a natural ear for music may find it easier to learn to play an instrument.Take a look at Wolfgang Mozart.He composed his first musical masterpiece(杰作)at the age of 5.And at the age of 7,he went on his first tours to perform his abilities for the world.In the process of highlighting the "natural" gifts of achievers,hard work can get lost in the mix.The result is that many "talents" believe they only need to depend on their innate(内在的)abilities in order to produce great works.Inevitably,this can lead to disappointment,frustration,and even mental health problems,because the reality is that talent alone is not enough.One is often led to believe that being naturally gifted is the ultimate prerequisite(最终的先决条件)for success in any field.But almost every example of a big achievement involves some degree of putting in some amount of work.In athletics,for example,standout athletes such as Michael Jordan,Usain Bolt,and Serena Williams are often praised for their natural abilities.However,closer analysis of their careers shows that these athletes spent huge chunks of their lives practicing.Aside from working hard,talent can only become useful if the owner of that talent does what is necessary to expand(拓展)it.If your talent is just being good at playing the guitar,for instance,that ability can only get you so far because there are many other people who also know their way around the instrument.How will you set yourself apart from the crowd?You would do so by finding ways to expand your guitar﹣playing capabilities,whether that means learning new finger tricks or mastering different types of guitars.Then you will be more successful than others.Nothing is wrong with having natural abilities.After all,everyone is born to be good at something.However,finding success at any level,and in any field,requires more than talent.The relationships you create with people and habits you develop also play a role in your ability to grow your career.But,ultimately,working hard is the main factor as to how far you can go.(1)The writer uses the example of Mozart to tell us that .A.natural ability can help speed up successB.being famous should be as early as possibleC.talent can take the place of effort completelyD.everyone is born to be good at something(2)What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?A.The result of an art competition.B.The achievements of famous talents.C.The problems of overvaluing innate abilities.D.The process of producing great works by talents.(3)What can we learn from the passage?A.Hard work helps people find out their natural abilities easily.B.Almost every great achievement requires a certain amount of effort.C.Relationships with people and habits are more important than talent.D.Talented people are more likely to succeed than hardworking people.(4)The writer probably agrees that .A.hard work brings people more success than talent doesB.talent gives people a head start in achievement s in any fieldC.having talent is not enough to ensure success unless talent is improvedD.hard work is no more necessary unless it is done by people successfully四.书面表达(共1小题)18.某英文网站青少年板块正在开展以"学会和父母相处"为主题的征文活动。

"We decide what kind of content we want to experience and choose how we experience it,"wrote Masback.It is believed that Generation Z is the generation that is going to shape our future,which is why policy makers, sociologists and company leaders are trying their best to understand these young people.11.A person who is called Generation Z______.A.was born in1990or later B.created high technologyC.grew up in the internet era D.changed the society greatly12.What can we infer from paragraph2?______A.Gen Z-ers are proud of being the first true digital natives very much.B.Gen Z-ers have no interest in the information they get from the internet.C.It's impossible for Gen Z-ers to do more than one thing at the same time.D.Social media has changed the way Gen Z-ers understand information.13.According to Masback,why are Gen Z-ers culture creators?______A.They have the courage to fight against traditional culture.B.They enjoy sharing their own experiences on social media.C.They get many different ideas from videos and news online.D.Their parents give them more freedom to express themselves.14.Which of the following best describes the author's attitude towards Gen Z-ers?______ A.Confident.B.Wait-and-see.C.Sympathetic.D.Worried.15.Where can we possibly read this article?______A.In business newspapers.B.On digital reports.C.On culture magazines.D.On job advertisements.阅读理解In a digital age,we almost never write things by hand.However,new brain research,led by researchers at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology,confirms handwriting has many benefits.It results in better learning and memory over using a keyboard.The study was conducted using equipment to track and record brain wave activity.The participants included 12young adults and12children.Each was asked to write by hand and type on a keyboard while wearing a hood (风帽)with over250electrodes(电极).The sensors(传感器)in the electrodes are very sensitive and pick up the electrical activity that takes place in the brain.Each person took turns to have a45-minute examination.The results showed that the brain in both young adults and children is much more active when writing by hand than when typing on a keyboard.According to Van der Meer,plenty of senses are activated by pressing a pen on paper.These sense experiences build contact between different parts of the brain,opening the brain up for learning.Van der Meer believes that the results stress the importance of children being challenged to draw and write at an early age,especially at school."Learning to write by hand is a bit slower process,but it's important for children to go through the tiring phase of learning to write by hand.Writing by handrequires control of your fine motor skills(精细动作)and senses.It's important to put the brain in a learning state as often as possible,"Van der Meer added.16.What does the underlined word"It"in paragraph1refer to?______A.Learning.B.Memorizing C.Typing.D.Handwriting. 17.What do we know about the study?______A.The study involved24children in altogether.B.All the participants were divided into two groups.C.Sensors were used to record brain wave activity.D.Participants took examinations at the same time.18.Why does the brain become more active when writing by hand?______A.Writing by hand is easier to make the brain work.B.Hearing the sound made by writing takes much brain.C.Seeing letters while writing attracts more attention.D.Plenty of senses are activated to open the brain up.19.How does handwriting help people according to Van der Meer?______A.It makes people become smarter.B.It improves people's motor skills.C.It helps people get more patience.D.It arouses people's interest in learning.20.Why did the author write this article?______A.To present a new research on handwriting.B.To tell people the history of handwriting.C.To show the importance of writing by hand.D.To teach people how to improve handwriting.阅读理解Maddie Camargo and her mother,Stephanic Dufour,thought the screams for help were just Boy Scouts(童子军)messing around(瞎闹).But then they saw the scene:scouts surrounded a hiker who had taken a scary six-meter drop in an area near the Hoover Dam,a fall that had left his right arm with a bone sticking out.The mother and daughter were supposed to be having a fun-filled weekend to celebrate Camargo's17th birthday.But the kayaking(划独木舟)trip turned into an emergency life-saving adventure.They pulled onto some sand.The boy scouts,who had called911,had tied a loose bandage(绑带)around the hiker's broken arm to stop the bleeding.Camargo knew another bandage was needed and thought back to her lifeguard training.She asked if anyone had a pen or a stick,and someone picked up a branch.She turned the bandage,careful not to hit the bone,until it stopped most of the bleeding.The girl grew up doing junior guards and had recently taken a CPR(cardiopulmonary resuscitation,心肺复苏)and first-aid class as part of her training to become a lifeguard."This is something she will never forget,"said her mom,Stephanie Dufour."She now really likes the emergency medical field and has been considering her college and future career choices."It's not the first time Camargo has quickly jumped into action when needed.In2015,during the Surf City Marathon,she was near a man who dropped at mile26.She pulled him out of the road and treated him for shock until doctors arrived.She was just15."I felt accomplished,like I actually did something to help someone,and my studies weren't just going to waste, "she said.21.What happened to the hiker?______A.He screamed loudly for messing around.B.He played with scouts near the Hoover Dam.C.He broke his right arm seriously in a fall.D.He scared scouts from a height of6meters.22.What did Camargo and her mother do after seeing the hiker?______A.They had a walk on the sand near the river.B.They continued enjoying the kayaking trip.C.They planned a birthday party on the sand.D.They stopped and began to save the hiker.23.Why did Camargo need a pen or a stick?______A.To replace another loose bandage.B.To help stop most of the bleeding.C.To make an emergency rescue sign.D.To show her life-saving knowledge.24.What do we know about Maddie Camargo?______A.She attended a lot of professional training to become a lifeguard.B.Her mom asked her to consider emergency medical field as career.C.It was her first time to use what she learned to help those in need.D.She will never forget the difficulties in learning life-saving skills.25.Which of the following would be a good title for this article?______A.Learning Skills for a Job B.No Wasting StudiesC.Using Skills to Do Good D.Training to be Skilled阅卷人三、信息匹配(本大题共10小题,共10.0分)得分任务型阅读Climate change is one of the biggest challenges we're facing.Human activity over the last200years has meant that we're standing on the brink(边缘)of an environmental disaster.Yet we're told that there are still things we can do to protect the planet.26..Drive less often27..Instead of driving to your workplace,take public transportation,walk,skate,or ride a bike. Not only are they good for the planet,but they're also good for your health.Depending on the weather,you may enjoy this new trip mode even more than sitting in traffic.28.Though it may seem unimportant in the whole wide world,your shopping habits can actually influence our environment.By selling and buying gently used clothes online,more resources(资源)will be saved.Some studies have shown that online shopping is better for the environment.29..Change your dietWhat we eat can have a great effect on the environment.30..They also create a lot of methane(甲烷),a greenhouse gas.Additionally,food shipped from overseas uses a lot more resources than local produce.By eating fewer animal products,especially red meat and shopping for locally-grown food,you can make a big difference.The Earth is a fine place and worth fighting for.Do something every day that will improve your surroundings to make the planet a better place to live in.A.Make travelling carbon-cleverB.Reuse and recycle your clothingC.It's important to form good eating habitsD.Let's take a look at what steps you can takeE.For example,meat and dairy products require a lot of land to produceF.Because it takes about30%less resources to sell products than offline以下材料A~F分别介绍了六个不同的深圳踏青好去处。

Every time he drove home at noon, he found cars parked all along the road outside his house, and there was no room for his own car. He had to walk back home. This made him very angry.He put up a board which said “No Parking” in the garden facing the road, but nobody seemed to take any notice of it. People would obey a police notice, but not a private(私人的) one. There were no parked cars where there was a blue board with white letters on it “Police notice: No parking”. Mrs Brown suggested that he steal a police notice, but Mr Brown dared not(不敢), being afraid of going to prison(监狱). Mrs Brown then suggested that he make a notice just like the police notice. He said he wasn’t the police and couldn’t use the word “police”. He had to find a different way to solve the problem.Several days later, Mr Brown made a blue board with white letters saying “Polite notice: No parking”.“Oh!” Mrs Brown said, “But you told me you weren’t going to use the word ‘police’. That’s exactly like a police notice.”“Is it?” he said, “Look it again.”She started to laugh. “You’re really clever.”From then on Mr Brown didn’t feel angry any more.( ) 56.

They’re man-made satellites. And the biggest of all is theInternational Space Station (ISS). From May to July is the best season to watch the ISS flying over the earth. And people can see it with their eyes.The ISS is the biggest satellite(人造卫星) and scientists want to live on it. They think that the best way to learn more about space is to live there.When the space station is finished, it will be like a city in space. People will stay and study there with many of the things they have at home. Laboratories, living rooms and power stations are being built. The ISS is the most expensive space program. Billions of dollars are being spent on it every year.Scientists hope that the ISS will be a stepping stone for future space exploration(探测). “The ISS will help us understand the human body better, explore space and study the earth. It can help us make life on the earth better,” said Kathryn Clark, an ISS scientist.Sixteen countries are part of the program: the US, Russia, Canada, Japan, Brazil and 11 European countries. China isn’t an ISS country, but it has helped with some of the experiments. In 2003, China sent some rice up to the ISS to find out what space would do to it.( ) 61.

It’s a great pleasure to visit your school and meet all of you here.I would like to tell you about myself. I have been a reporter for the past fifteen years. I chose this job because I could travel the world, but the job has taught me many unforgettable lessons. The work is sometimes difficult. I have seen wars, earthquakes, poverty(贫穷) and death. But I have also seen courage(勇气), hope and happiness.In India, I visited a city. There were many homeless children in it. Some were young and lived in the streets. But then a lady called Rosa opened a home for them. In a year, she was looking after twohundred children, feeding them, teaching them and giving them hope.Another time, I was in Japan after a terrible earthquake. In a place, I found an old lady. Her house fell down. Her son was missing and people said her son could hardly be alive. But the lady didn’t give up hope. For four days, she moved heavy stones by herself. She didn’t stop until she found her son. He was still alive.Here in China, I met a young boy with a serious illness. He had to have twenty operations(手术) in hospital. But when I met him, he was still smiling.Now when my life is difficult, I always remember the courage of the three people.( )66.

The passage above is ______.A. a news reportB. a letterC. a speechD. a diaryDAlmost all people like flowers. Some people like flowers because they have different smells, shapes, colors and so on. Others like flowers because they think of different things. Flowers have their own language. For example, red roses mean “love” and sunflowers mean “loyalty(忠诚)”. So people in more than 100 countries have their own national flowers. People choose a flower that says something about their country’s spirit(精神).What is China’s national flower? In fact, this is a question that no one can answer. But Chinese people are still trying to decide it. In 1994, China talked about choosing a national flower. Most people liked the peony(牡丹) or the plum blossom(梅花), but not everyone agreed with it. Another idea was “one country, four flowers”. That means that the peony can be China’s national flower, but each season can also have its own special flower: The orchid(兰花) for spring, the lotus(荷花) for summer, the chrysanthemum(菊花) for autumn and the plum blossom for winter.Most people agree that China only needs one national flower. But no one has answered the big question: what should the flower be?Chen Junyu, a professor at Beijing Forestry University, said it’s OK for China to have two national flowers. “That’s because it’s such a large country with so many different kinds of places, people and weather,” he said.( ) 71. A young man had better give ______ to his girlfriend.A. red rosesB. red sunflowersC. red peoniesD. red plum blossoms( ) 72.

The writer mentions ______ kinds of beautiful flowers in the passage.A. twoB. fourC. fiveD. seven( ) 75. Why can’t Chinese people decide which flower should be their national flower?A. There are no fit flowers.B. Only a few people like the peony.C. There are so many beautiful flowers in China that it’s hard to choose one.D. They don’t think that it’s necessary for China to have a national flower.第二部分非选择题(45分)五、词形变换(10分)1.When spring comes, the snow_________________.
