Some eye doctors say all the screen time hascaused more children to have what they call computer vision syndrome ( 视力综合症). Nathan Warford is an optometrist(验光师) in the US. He says he hasseen more children having eye problems.“More children come into my office because their parents have noticedthat they have headaches or red eyes,or because their degree ofshort-shortsightedness appears to be increasing(增加) very fast and they’reworried,” he said.Dr.Warford says part of the problem is that even if their eyes start to feel uncomfortable or they start to get a headache, some children don’t tell their parents, because they don’t want their games or the computer to be taken away.Another part of the problem is that people blink (眨眼睛) less often when they look at the screen. A person who uses a computer or a digital product blinks about one third as much as we normally do in everyday life. If eyes can’t stay wet or are too tired, they will not be protected like normal.1.Which of the following may be caused by too much screen time?A.Having headaches.B.

Some people send videos of personal events like holidays or weddings.Using live streaming (网络直播) is particularly popular among thepeople aged 18 to 35. They can leave danmu comments (弹幕). They canalso communicate directly with the hosts by buying virtual (虚拟的) giftssuch as flowers, toys and cars for them online. The most recent examplewas the Olympic swimmer Fu Yuanhui. She did one-hour live streamingwhich attracted more than 11 million viewers.What’s more, live streaming allows users to communicate withstrangers and express themselves. A 19-year-old college student called NicLi says she spends three to four hours each week chatting and singing with viewers through one app called Ingkee (映客直播). “Sometimes I feel lonely and want to talk to people,” she says. “It feels nice when viewers are paying attention to me.”However, there are worries about the misuse of live streaming. Papi Jiang (papi酱,网络红人)promised to correct her unsuitable and impolite language after she was warned by government officials. As there are more than 80 apps and 300 websites for live streaming in China, the Internet regulator (网网网网网网) can hardly monitor the content all the time. “We support the use of live streaming.

But few have done this as well as Coco (《寻梦环游记》), Disney’s up-to-date film.“One thing’s for certain— ▲,” Katie Walsh wrote a film review in The Record.The film comes from the Mexican holiday of Dia de los Muertos (亡灵节),or Day of the Death in English. In the story, a young boy named Miguel wantshis family to help with his musical dream. On Dia de los Muertos, an accidenttakes him to the “Land of the Dead”. There, Miguel meets his dead familymembers and has an adventure.As The Atlantic said, the “Land of the Dead” is not a scary place. There arefriendly skeletons(骷髅). They can cross a bridge made of flowers on Dia de los Muertos to “visit” their living family members. As long as their family puts their photos on a family shrine (神龛), they can do this every year. Otherwise, their spirits will disappear completely.With its wild imagination, the story sends a clear message about the importance of family. Family is at the center of Mexico culture. On Dia de los Muertos people in Mexico remember their ancestors(先人) just like the characters in the film. They also share food and drinks to keep the spirits of their family members alive. The film teaches kids to keep and respect the memories of their elders, Peter Debruge wrote in Variety.1. Which of the following sentence can be put into the ▲underlined place?A.

It teaches the kids how to face the friendly skeletons bravely.D. It tell the kids what is the Mexican holiday of Dia de los Muertos【B】①On May 15, Zhang Rongqiao wiped(抹掉) tears from his eyes as China’s Mars rover(巡视器) Zhurong landed safely on Mars. “I was so excited,” said Zhang.①As the chief designer of China’s Tianwen 1 Mars mission(任务), Zhang was chosen by the magazine Nature on Dec 16 as one of the top 10 people “who helped shape science” in 2021. Under Zhang, China made a huge step in interplanetary(行星间的) exploration. “I got a taste of the old Chinese saying – it takes 10 years to sharpen a good sword,” Zhang told Nature.①In the Mars mission, Zhang led a team of thousands of researchers.The team worked not only on technical work like launches and flightcontrol, but also on scientific research on Mars.①The challenges were many. They knew little about the strange andcomplex(复杂的) environment of Mars. “We may not even know whatwe do not know about,” Zhang told Nature.①During the process, Zhang played a key part in the decision to send an orbiter(轨道飞行器), a lander(着陆器) and a rover to Mars together at a time – making China the first country to do so. “That’s a big leap(飞跃) because China is doing in a single go what NASA took tens of years to do,” said Roberto Orosei from the Institute of Radioastronomy of Bologna in Italy.①Zhang also made the important decision to land the rover on Utopia Planitia, where there are special landscapes for scientists to study. He hopes that the mission can do as much research as possible and bring back “rich” information.①“The buck stops with him(他敢作敢当),” said David Flannery, an astrobiologist(天体生物学家) at Queensland University of Technology in Australia.4. What is included in the Mars mission?a. Doing scientific research.b. Bringing back space junk.c. Controlling the flight.d. Launching the rover.A. abcB. abdC. acdD. bcd5. What does Paragraph 4 show?A.

What is Roberto Orosei’s opinion?A. China’s Mars mission will last for tens of years.B. China made its road short to exploring Mars.C. China finished its Mars mission with NASA’s help.D. China is the first country to send only a rover to Mars.7. The rover was sent to Utopia Planitia to _____.A. avoid bad weatherB. find treasure on MarsC. receive messages from EarthD. study special landscapes8.

Then I realized I would have to give up summer football camp to earn the money.When I told Coach Jarvis,he was as angry as I expected him to be."You have your whole life to work," he said,"Your playing days are limited.You can't afford to waste them."I stood before him with my head hanging."How much are you going to make from this job?" he asked."$3.25 an hour."I replied."Well," he asked,"Is $3.25 an hour the price of a dream?" That question made me think about the difference between wanting something right now and having a goal.I dedicated(献身）myself to football that summer,and within the year I was chosen by a professional(职业的）team.I finally achieved my goal in life because I insisted on chasing(坚持追求）my dream, The point is that no matter who you are and no matter where you are, you should always have a dream.And this dream will show you your direction like a beacon to a ship at sea at night.5.According to the article, why did I want to work during the summer holiday?A. Because I was tired of playing football.B.Because I wanted to change my life.C.Because I wanted to know more about the world.D.Because I was poor,I wanted to get more money.6.How much money can I earn if I work for 8 hours?A.$3.25B.$7.50C.$ 13.00D.$26.007.What is the meaning of the underlined word limited?A.足够的B.有限的C.很多的D.较少的8.What's the best title of the article?A.The priceless dreamB.Playing football is more importantC.Achieving a balanceD.My goal四、词汇运用（共19空；每空1分，满分19分）1.

They celebrate the holiday with the lighting of the menorah (多连灯烛台) , traditional foods, games and gifts. Hanukkah is a Jewish festival.It falls on the 25th day of the Jewish month of Kiskv (犹太教历), which is usually sometime in December. The festival celebrates the time, over 2,000 years ago，when the Jewish people fought against an emperor who would not let them follow their own traditions and religion (宗教) . When the Jewish people won back their temple in Jerusalem(耶路撒冷), they found there was only enough holy(神圣的) oil to keep the sacred light (神圣之灯) burning for one day. However, to their surprise, this small amount of oil kept the light burning for eight days and nights, until the people had time to make more oil.At the center of the Hanukkah celebrations is a candle stick (called a Menorah) that holds nine candles. On the first night of Hanukkah the first candle is lit, and each day this candle is used to light another candle, until on the eighth day, the last day, all the candles are lit. During Hanukkah, people go to the synagogue (犹太教堂) to pray and to remember the miracle (奇迹) of the holy oil. Hanukkah is a time for family and friends to come together. People exchange gifts and greeting cards, and children go to parties. Parents often give their children money at Hanukkah. Potato cakes, called latkes, are a traditional Hanukkah food.

You pick up things and prepare to wait in line and pay. But evenmore strangely, there is no cashier（收银员) at all. So what has happenedto this store?Well, you may have entered Tao Cafe, a cashless store created byChinese-commerce giant Alibaba. In July, the public got to see the storefor the first time at Alibaba’s Taobao Maker Festival in Hangzhou.The 200-square-meter store sells drinks, fast food and snacks. It can hold up to 50 shoppers at a time. To enter and shop, people only need a smartphone with a Taobao app and an Alipay account（账户）.By scanning their Taobao QR code（二维码）, shoppers are followed with cameras for facial recognition （面部识别）. The store has also digitalized（数字化）all goods and their placement on the shelves. So when shoppers pick up goods, the system（系统）will be able to “watch”and “remember”their selection.When shoppers are ready to leave, they don’t wait in line to pay. Instead, they go through two checkout （结账）doors. Then the bills will automatically（自动地）be paid with a Taobao account connected to Alipay.According to Alibaba, the checkout machines can recognize goods even when shoppers put them in pockets or bags. So it is almost impossible to steal things from the store.Tao Cafe is not the only cashless store in China. A 24-hour store with no staff called Bingo Box opened in Shanghai in June.

But why is it that some people could find their way across the Sahara without a map while others can lose themselves in the next street?Scientists say we’re all born with a sense of direction, but it is not properly understood how it works. One theory(理论) is that people with a good sense of direction have simply worked harder at developing it. Research being carried out at Liverpool University supports this idea and suggests that if we don’t use it, we lose it.“Children as young as seven have the ability to find their way around,” says Jim Martland, research director of the project. “However, if they are not allowed out alone or are taken everywhere by car, they never develop the skills.”Jim Martland also emphasizes that young people should be taught certain skills to improve their sense of direction. He makes the following suggestions:If you are using a map, turn it so that it relates to(与……有联系) the way you are facing.If you leave your bike in a strange place, put it near something like a big stone or a tree－something easy to recognize. Note landmarks(地标) on the route as you go away from your bike. When you return, go back along the same route.Simplify(简化) the way for finding your direction by using lines such as streets in a town, streams, or wells(井) in the countryside to guide you. Count your steps so that you know how far you have gone and note any landmarks such as towerblocks or hills which can help to find out where you are.Now you will never get lost again!( ) 1. Which of the following things cannot be used as landmarks?A. Tower blocks.B. Hills.C. Wells.D. Bikes.( ) 2. What does the underlined word “emphasize” mean in the passage?A. To give special importance to something.B. To express thanks for somebody.C. To understand or know a fact.D. To admire somebody.( ) 3. Scientists believe that __________.A.some babies are born with a sense of directionB. people learn a sense of direction as they grow olderC. everybody has a sense of direction from birthD. people never lose their sense of direction ( ) 4. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Children have a better sense of direction.B. Children have the ability to find their way out.C. The ways to improve sense of direction.D. Everyone is born with a sense of direction and it can be improved.【B】Wind power is a very clean source of energy. This is how wind power works. Wind makes windmills spin (旋转). When the windmills spin, they make electricity. Then we can use the electricity.A lot of people think that wind power is new, but that’s not true.For thousands ofyears, people have used wind to sail boats and move water. We still do those thingstoday, but these days we mostly use wind power to make electricity.Wind power is a very popular source of energy. Most people think that we should use it more and more. First of all, it’s clean. Windmills don’t pollute the environmentat all. Second, we can use wind power forever. After all, we will always have wind.Also, wind power is cheap, and it’s getting even cheaper.A lot of people don’t understand wind power very well. They believe that there are problems with wind power, but many of those problems are not real. For example, some people say that windmills are dangerous for birds. They used to be true, but it isn’t true any more. Old windmills killed birds because they spun very fast. New windmills spin slowly, and they aren’t dangerous for birds.However, there are real problems with windmills. One problem is that many people think windmills are very ugly. This is a problem for people, because windmills are often in very pretty areas. Also, wind doesn’t blow all the time, so we can’t use wind power all the time. Finally, windmills are noisy.Wind power is becoming more and more common. Right now, more than 80 countries use wind power. About 2.5 percent of the world’s power comes from the wind. For some countries, that number is a lot higher. Wind power gives Denmark more than 25 percent of its electricity.( )5. Why DON’T new windmills kill birds?A. Because birds don’t fly near themB. Because they spin slowlyC. Because they are shorter than old windmillsD. Because new windmills don’t spin( ) 6.Why can't we use wind power all the time?A. Because windmills break all the time.B. Because we can’t use windmills at night.C. Because sometimes wind doesn’t blow.D. Because windmills are too expensive to use all the time. ( ) 7. What does the article say about wind power?A. Most people don’t like it.B. It’s getting cheaper.C. Denmark doesn’t use it.D. It’s getting more expensive.( ) 8. What is the best title for the passage?A. Expensive WindmillsB. Cheap and Clean EnergyC. Popular and Clean Wind PowerD.

Around 15 percent go to Italy, and 10 percent go to both England and Germany. A little less than 10 percent go to Australia, and around 5 percent go to Canada.No matter where a student chooses to study, there are some things universities around the world need. First, all students must graduate from high school before they can apply (申请) to a university. Most universities also need some kind of test for students to enter the university. Universities in the United States, Australia, and Canada usually need some kind of standardized (标准化的) exam, such as the SAT in the United States. Students who do not come from English-speaking countries also must take a test such as the TOEFL in the United States and Canada to show they know enough English to study in English. England and Australia require students to take the IELTS.In most countries, students must apply to each university they hope to go to. However, students applying to universities in England can use one form to apply to six universities at one time through the British Council (英国文化学会). Many students like this because it can save them a lot of time and money. For universities in other countries, students must fill in different forms for each university and pay a fee (费用) with each application.1.According to the passage, those who want to study abroad can’t apply to any university until .A. They get their passportsB. they choose the right countryC. They graduate from high schoolD. they pass the TOEFL or the IELTS2.If Chinese students want to apply to a university in Australia, they have to .A. take the TOEFLB. take the IELTSC. take the SATD. take the CYLE3.One of the advantages for students to apply to universities in England is that .A. it saves time and moneyB. they needn’t pay for any applicationC. they can choose six countries each timeD. they have six chances to go to other countries【B】Many parents set rules for their children’s online activity, such as limiting(限制) the amount of time they can spend online. They complain that their parents share too many photos of them online.In a 2016 study, it was found that parents in the US share an average (平均) of 116 photos of their kids after they are born. Most were taken before the child turned 8 years old. Many of the photos showed kids in embarrassing(尴尬的) situations, like having food all over their faces.Parents do like to share their child’s progress as he or she grows up. But their kid doesn’t like it as much. In a survey of UK children between the ages of 12 and 16, 70 percent said they felt their parents didn’t respect their online privacy (隐私).In addition, many kids said that other students at school sometimes pick on them after their parents post photos online. In one case, a girl was bullied (欺负) by boys at school after they found her Mom’s blog. There were many family photos in the blog.“Each time a photo or video is uploaded, it creates a digital footprint of a child, which can follow them into adult life,” a spokeswoman for a leading children’s charity in the UK said. “It’s always important to ask children for their permission (允许) before posting photos or videos of them.”4. Which sentence can be put in the blank of the first paragraph?A. It is necessary for parents to do so because some children have spent lots of time onlineB. And they have also made more rules to control the time children spend on online activitiesC. Lots of children are so angry that they have lots of complains because of the limiting timeD. But some children in the US and UK are saying that they’d like to make rules for parents too5.The second paragraph shows us .A. some photos shared by parentsB. a study from the US and UKC. the fact of sharing photos in the USD. embarrassing situations of kids6.What does the underlined phrase “pick on” in Paragraph 4 mean?A. 捉弄B. 捡起C.挑选D. 发现7.From the passage, we can know that the writer .A. encourages more parents to share their children’s photos onlineB. asks children to understand why their parents share their photosC. shows it’s important for parents to ask children if they can post their photosD. hopes that parents will not post photos or videos of their children四、词汇运用（共16空；每空1分，满分16分）1.

She was born on February 22, 1975, in California. Being from a family thatproduced great actors, she quickly found her way into the spotlight (聚光灯).When she was 11 months old, she made her first advertisement on TV. She made her first movie at the age of 2. Five years later, she acted Gertie in StevenSpielberg’s famous film E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial(1982).However, it wasn’t all roses and sunshine when Barrymore was growing up.She was drinking wine by the time she was 9, smoking marijuana (大麻) at 10.Most kid stars in Hollywood fail to become stars as adults. And most of the time, once they’re out of the spotlight, they stay out. But Drew Barrymore doesn’t.As she was growing older, Barrymore started to realize that life is more meaningful than dangerous actions in the films. She started to build a career in 1997. She has made a series of successful films since then, including Charlie’s Angels (2000) and 50 First Dates (2004).“In my life, there is darkness and d rama, and I have yet to explore some of that in my work life. I just want to challe nge myself and prove that I can do more.”Actually, anyone who’s not familiar with her disordered childhood might find it hard to be lieve she’s such a sweet person now. Like many of the characters she plays in her comedy, Drew is easy-going andlaughs a lot. In 2007, she was on the cover of People magazine’s 100 Most Beautiful People issue.“Life is very interesting … in the end, some of your greatest pains, become your greatest strengths,” Drew said.( )1. Drew Barrymore can be a Hollywood legend mainly because .A. she was born form a family that produced great actorsB. she used to be a famous kid star in HollywoodC. she always has roses and sunshine in her lifeD. she didn’t give up even when she met difficulties( )2.

Which of the following chart can best describe Drew Barrymore’s career (till 2007)?【B】Do you know some people have memories that are completely wrong? They remember things that never happened. Sometimes, many people have the same wrong memory. When this happens, it’s believed that it is because of the Mandela Effect.People first noticed the Mandela Effect in 2013. That year,Nelson Mandela passed away. However, thousands of peopleremembered him dying in the 1980s. They described watching hisfuneral (葬礼) on TV. But in fact, Mandela lived to be 95 years old.How could that be? How could so many people have the samewrong memory?Most experts explain the Mandela Effect using brain science.When we make memories, our brains keep them in groups. Each group includes memories that are similar to each other. Sometimes, our brains messed up (混乱). They mix two similar memories together. That’s why people thought Nelson Mandela died in the 1980s. They knew he was imprisoned (坐牢) during the 1980s. For some reason, they mixed his imprisonment with his death.That would explain why so many people in 2013 thought Nelson Mandela was already dead. But would it explain why all those people gave similar descriptions of his funeral? Could all those people have mixed up the same two memories?There are many other examples of the Mandela Effect. Have you ever seen the Mona Lisa? Many people remember the woman in the painting with a frown (皱眉). Others say she was straight-faced. If you look at the Mona Lisa today, you’ll find she’s smiling. Did you ever read a series of children’s books about The Berenstein Bear s? No, you didn’t. In our reality, the books are about The Berenstein Bears, spelled with an “a” instead of an “e”. Still, thousands of people believe they remember the name spelled differently.Are these wrong memories the result of mixed memories, or is there another explanation Without further science research, we can’t say for sure!( ) 4．What is the Mandela Effect?A．Some people have worse memory than others.B．Some people may have the same wrong memory.C．People are better at remembering certain things.D．People remember unhappy experiences more easily.( )5．Why does the author give the example in Para. 2?A．To prove his point. B．To introduce the topic.C．To correct the view above. D．To provide the background.( ) 6．What is the reason for the Mandela Effect given in Para. 3?A．People are easily influenced by others. B．People pay little attention to the fact.C．People mix two similar events up. D．People have poor memory.( )7．What does the author think of the Mandela Effect?A．Its reason is unknown. B．It lasts for a long time.C．It is hard to avoid.

Is reading better than playing video games? I’m not so sure if it is.

For others, it might be during their lunch break. You only need to read for 10 to 20 minutes a day to form the habit.Then，you need to find a place that’s comfortable. Make sure it has good lighting, the temperature is nice and you’re in a good chair. Or you can find some place that you can relax in without falling asleep, although there’s nothing wrong with sleep.Next，be sure to shut off the TV，Internet，cell phone，radio, or other music. Let reading be a quiet time. Mark an “x” on your calendar every day you read, and try to keep your unbroken “x”es going as long as possible. A habit is much easier to form if it’s something you enjoy, not something you are made to do. So make the time, you spend reading a joy. I’ve been a lifelong reader, so the pleasure of a good book is one of my favorite things in the world. I love to lose myself in the world of a book.( )1.

The other carried a wooden cage with a chicken inside it.“Only one gift can be yours,” the queen said. “Choose wisely.” “That’s easy,” Peter said. “I’ll take the chicken.” Some of the queen’s men laughed. It was clear that they thought he had made a foolish choice.“And why did you choose the chicken?” the queen asked. “Well, I don’t know much about jewels,” Peter answered. “But I do know ab out chickens. The chicken will provide eggs for my family for a long while.”Queen Olivia smiled. “Then you did make a wise choice,” she said. “That mirror may look beautiful. But the jewels you see are only colored glass, and the frame is painted silver. The chicken is much more valuable.” Peter took the chicken and bowed. “Thank you, your majesty(陛下).”“You are a smart child,” the queen added. “I could use a smart boy to help take care of my horses. Would you like to take the job?” Peter smiled. “Thank you very much!” he said excitedly. A job at the castle paid well.

I think he is one of those greatest American song writers. It took me a long time to realize how great Johnny Cash's music was. In my family，the first person that listened to Johnny Cash was my dad.That all changed when I met my first girlfriend. She liked all the old country stars，including Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard, and Bill Monroe. Whether it was country, bluegrass,or Western music, she could not get enough of it. She loved Johnny Cash's music best.I hated the music that she listened to. At first，I pretended(假装)to like Johnny Cash's music just tohumour her, but soon it started to grow on me. I guessed that I’d never give it a chance. But honestly，once I started listening to the music of the man，it blew my mind. I had never heard anything like it.I got my heart broken by that girl，and it was a long time before I could listen to anything that she had played for me.

Maybe your mouth goes dry when your teacher says you will be given a test, or your palms(手掌) sweat when it's your turn to give your report in front of the class. Perhaps you get butterflies in your stomach when you see the bully(欺负人的人) who chooses you.We all have fears sometimes. That's true no matter how big we are or how brave we can be. Fear of getting too close to a campfire may save you from a bad burn. And fear of getting a bad grade on a test may make you study hard. Being nervous can also sharpen your senses and help you perform better during a track meet(田径运动会). Some people even enjoy being a little scared(恐惧的). That's why they like to watch scary movies.Usually, our bodies go into fight only when there is something to fear. However, sometimes this happens when there doesn't seem to be anything to be frightened about. When you feel scared but there doesn't seem to be a clear reason, that's called anxiety(焦虑). For some kids, the feeling of anxiety or worry can happen at any time. For others, it might appear only at certain times, like when they are leaving their home or family to go somewhere. For some people, this feeling of anxiety happens almost all the time and gets in the way of what they want to do.Tell your parents if your anxiety becomes strong and is getting in the way of what you want to do. Your parents can take you to a doctor, who can help to find out if a medical problem is making you feel anxious. But you can also try these ways to kill the feeling yourself.( )6.

It means that life is always changing and bringing us new challenges._________I’ve experienced it many times throughout my life. New teachers, new coworkers … it can be difficult to deal with sometimes. And not all change is good. It can be frustrating (令人沮丧的) to get used to new situations.However, I do have some suggestions. First, you can talk with your teacher after class and discuss your problem. Do make sure to be polite when you do this – it’s not your teacher’s fault that you’re having difficulty with her methods. Try to find some common points. Good teachers will do their best to make sure that all of the students in their classes can benefit (从……受益) from their teaching.Mike※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※Dear Linda,You should know that studying English is important for your future, but not for your teacher. Try to talk to your teacher. If they can’t help you, I’m afraid you will have to solve the problem by yourself.I assume (假定) that this teacher is not the only English teacher in your school. You could askother English teachers some questions during your breaks. You can also learn Englishoutside of school, such as by taking an online English course. You can surely find a suitableteacher for yourself.In all, if you don’t want to give up studying English, then you’d better work hard on it, no matter who teaches you. It’s always a good idea to be active about any situation you’re in.Zhao Xin( )4.What is Linda’s problem?A. She can’t find a good English teacher.B. She doesn’t want to take on any new challenge.C.

Stars like Bruce Lee and Jackie Chanmade kung fu popular in the Western world. The flashy(炫酷的)andimpressive performances they gave in films like Rumble In The Bronx and Enter The Dragon made them household names in the US and elsewhere.However, my own personal interest in kung fu was actually inspired by a hip-hop group. Wu-Tang Clan(“武当派’’), founded in the early 1990s in New York City, is one of the most influential(有影响力的)hip-hop groups in history.In their songs, they sometimes mention philosophical concepts(哲学理念)that come from wudang quan—the style of Chinese martial arts from which they take their name—and the ShaolinMonastery. I was just a teenager when I first started listening to Wu-Tang Clan—little did I know that I would actually end up living in China later in my life!I myself do not practice kung fu. However, the concepts behind it are quite interesting to me. There is a Bruce Lee quote that I often think of when I’m struggling with challenges in life.
