Although they have equal degrees of health and wealth and the other comforts of life, one becomeshappy, the other becomes unhappy. This arises from the different ways in which they consider things, persons, and events, and the resulting effects upon their minds.The people who are to be happy fix their attention on the conveniences of things, the pleasant parts of conversation, thewell-prepared dishes, the goodness of the wines, and the fine weather. They enjoy all the cheerful and positive things. They are in good spirits all the time. People like to make friends with them and are happy when they are successful. It can make you popular among your classmates and strengthen the relationship with others.Those who are to be unhappy always thinkand speak the negative things. So they are continually discontented. Those people tend to criticize and offend others, which makes themselves disagreeable everywhere. No one loves them and treats them as their friends. No one shows respect to them, either. They should change this bad habit, or they would not live a happier life.参考答案：1~5 ACCAA 6~10 BCBBA 11~15 ABBCB16. health and wealth 17. in good spirits 18. negative 19.

More than 60 million of them are thrown away each day. Many of the plastic bottles end up in landfills or are burned with other waste products.A San Francisco start-up company called Rothy’s, however, turns this plastic waste into environmentally friendly shoes. Roth Martin is the company’s co-founder. He explains how they turn plastic into soft material for women’s feet. They take the plastic, clean it, and break it down into small pieces. Then they press them through a device that makes soft fibers. Those fibers are then combined together. This is done by a 3D machine. It is designed to reduce waste while making the shoes. The knitted stuff and the inner part of the shoe are then attached to the shoe’s outer part, called the sole (鞋底). This outer sole is also made from environmentally friendly material: responsibly sourced no-carbon rubber.Rothy’s shoes are sold online. They are flat shoes, with either a rounded or pointed toe. They come in different colors and designs. They cost either $ 125 or $ 145 per pair, depending on the design. After American actress Gwyneth Paltrow discovered them last year, the demand for the shoes grew. Martin says there is no shortage of material to fill that demand. “We’re not going to run out of water bottles any time soon. So we have a limitless supply of material, and I think thatis a good sign for our future.” When the environmentally friendly shoes wear out, customers can return them at no cost to a company that uses the recycled materials to make other products.For now, the shoes are only available to be shipped in the United States. However, the company says it will add international shipping in the near future.4．What does the underlined word knitted in the third paragraph mean?A．attached B．combinedC．fixed D．repaired5．Which of the following directly helped to increase the sales of Rothy’s shoes?A．The design and color.B．The reasonable price.C．The star power of Gwyneth Paltrow.D．The company’s advertisement.6．What is the purpose of the text?A．To introduce a new way of recycling plastic waste.B．To describe the process of making shoes.C．To advertise a new kind of shoes.D．To stress the importance of environmental protection.3.（8分）CThere was a gardener who looked after his garden with great care. To water his flowers，he used two buckets(水桶).One was a shiny and new bucket. The other was a very old and dilapidated one，which had seen many years of service，but was now past its best.Every morning，the gardener would fill up the two buckets. Then he would carry them along the path，one on each side，to the flowerbeds. The new bucket was very proud of itself. It could carry a full bucket of water without a single drop spilled. The old bucket felt very ashamed(惭愧的)because of its holes: before it reached the flowerbeds，much water had leaked(渗漏)along the path.Sometimes the new bucket would say，"See how capable I am! How good it is that the gardener has me water the flowers every day! I don’t know why he still uses you. What a waste of space you are!"And all that the old bucket could say was，"I know I am not very useful，but I can only do my best. I am happy that the gardener still finds a little bit of use in me ，at least.’’One day，the gardener heard that kind of conversation. After watering the flowers as usual，he said，"You both have done your work very well. Now I am going to carry you back，and I want you to look carefully along the path."Then the two buckets did so. All along the path, they noticed，on the side where the new bucket was carried，there was just bare earth；on the other side where the old bucket was carried，there was a joyous row of wild flowers，leading all the way to the garden.7．What was the old bucket ashamed of?A．Its past.B．Its aging.C．Its manner.D．Its leaking. 8．What does the underlined word "dilapidated" probably mean?A．Dirty.B．Dark.C．Worn out.D．Ordinary-looking.9．The new bucket made conversations with the old one mainly to________.A．take pity on the old one B．laugh at the old oneC．show off its good look D．praise the gardener's kindness10．Why was the old bucket still kept by the gardener?A．Because it was used to keep a balance.B．Because it stayed in its best condition.C．Because it had its own advantage.D．Because it was thought of as a treasure.二、阅读七选五（本题共计1小题，总分10分）4.（10分）二：七选五（每小题2分，满分10分）When the winter comes, millions of Americans realize they don’t feel as happy as usual, and may be depressed If you’re one of them, you may be suffering from “seasonal affective disorder” or SAD, whose symptoms include exhaustion, difficulty concentrating, sleep problems, body aches and pains, and a loss of interest in activities you normally enjoy. 11．Take extra Vitamin D．Researchers at the University of Georgia analyzed more than 100 articles that examined the link between Vitamin D and depression.

浙江省名校2023-2024学年高二上学期12月阶段性联考英语试卷学校：___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解WHEN CHOCOLATE BECOMES A WORK OF ART!Chocolate is delicious, we all know that. But it isn’t just for eating, as these chocolate works of art clearly show.Chocolate MailboxIn 2011, chocolate company Godiva made a chocolate mailbox with white truffle hearts to celebrate Valentine’s Day. The mailbox was on display at its shop on Fifth Avenue in New York City. Customers could post their love letters there, and the company would stamp and mail them for free during the three weeks leading up to Valentine’s Day.Chocolate CouchIn 2009, chocolate company Galaxy used 250 kg of their own chocolate to make a chocolate couch. The couch was a part of their “Irresistible Reads” campaign, which was designed to promote reading. It was put on display in Victoria Embankment Gardens in London. Photos were taken of British TV actress Emilia Fox sitting on the couch reading a book.Chocolate Hotel SuiteIn 2011, French chocolatier Patrick Roger worked with fashion icon Karl Lagerfeld. The room, at the La Reserve hotel in Paris, had a chocolate carpet, chocolate bed and chocolate nightstand full of chocolate books. Sitting on the bed was a chocolate man eating a Magnum ice cream.Chocolate TreeIn 2012, Patrick Roger made a five-metre tree from five tons of chocolate. The sculpture, which was at Roger’s shop in Paris, even had chocolate monkeys hanging from chocolate branches. Roger wanted to raise awareness of the problems facing African wildlife. 1．How much chocolate was needed to make a Chocolate Couch according to the passage?A. 600 kgB. 250 kgC. 5 tons.D. 12 meters.2．Which of the following appeals to wildlife protectors most?A. Chocolate Wall.B. Chocolate Hotel Suite.C. Chocolate Tree.D. Chocolate Mailbox.3．In which column of a newspaper can the passage be found?A. SportsB. Science.C. Culture.D. Fashion.Losing an eye might be an unthinkable thing, especially for a young woman, but not for Xintong. She chose to become an ocularist (义眼师) who makes prosthetic eyes (义眼) for herself and people in the same situation to help them get back their confidence. Xintong is the name that she gave to herself – which she prefers people to call her instead of her real name –because “xintong” in Chinese sounds like “new pupils”.Nearly 10 years after losing her right eye in a car accident, 28-year-old Xintong from Beijing transformed the hollow of her eye socket –a “flaw” she used to hide – into a fashion statement. She shared a short video online in which she wears a glowing prosthetic eye. As she waves her hand, the prosthetic eye begins to shine with red light. With another wave, the light changes to green and then purple and white.The video soon went viral on social media, with many comments praising her for being “creative”, “beautiful” and “optimistic”. But that wasn’t the case 10 years ago.“The prosthetic eye I wore at that time was torturing me,” Xintong said. “It hurt and gave me a red and swollen eye socket, and it looked so dull and fake. I was young and I wanted to look attractive.”She took matters into her own hands and began researching prosthetic eyes. Beginning in 2019, she dedicated about two years to mastering the production techniques and skills under the guidance of an ocularist. This journey led her to establish her own prosthetic eye studio, providing personalized services for those requiring them.She produces prosthetic eyes as if she is creating pieces of artwork. “The posi tion, direction, and even stroke thickness of the blood streaks on the prosthetic eyeballs matter,” the ocularist said. Sometimes she also paints special patterns according to customers’ needs: twinkling stars, cartoon characters like Cardcaptor Sakura and effects like colored contact lenses.Now when Xintong hears her customers say words such as “Finally, I can accept myself” or “Now I feel free to take selfies”, she feels deeply moved.4．Why did Xintong give the name "Xintong"to herself?A. To attract more people.B. To forget her real name.C. To look like new pupils.D. To start a brand new life.5．Why did the video gain much popularity on social media?A. The prosthetic eyes had various colors.B. She cured her hollow by waving her hand.C. Many comments praised her for her beauty.D. She changed a “flaw” into a fashionable state.6．What can we learn about Xintong from paragraph 5?A. She failed to set up her own prosthetic eye studio.B. She began researching prosthetic eyes on her own.C. She was able to offer some specific services on prosthetic eyes.D. She paid no attention to grasping the production techniques and skills.7．What can be inferred from the passage?A. Xintong is a woman with determination and creativity.B. Becoming an ocularist helped Xintong gain much profit.C. Xintong lost all her hopes in her life after the car accident.D. Many customers are deeply moved by Xintong’s artworksPeople’s likelihood of being vegetarian seems to be influenced by several genetic variants, and two of the three most important genes found so far appear to be involved in fat metabolism (新陈代谢).Genetic factors are known to influence aspects of diet, such as whether people like coffee or alcohol. To see if genes also affect vegetarianism, Nabeel Yaseen at Northwestern University in Chicago and his team turned to data on about 5300 strict vegetarians and 330,000 meat eaters. They found that three gene variants were more common in vegetarians. Two, called NPC1 and RMC1, are involved in the transport and metabolism of cholesterol and other fatty molecules. The third gene, called RIOK3, has various functions, including affecting the immune system.It isn’t known how these genes may relate to vegetarianism. But one of the chief differences between animal-based foods and plant-based ones is the chemical make-up of their fats or oils, collectively known as lipids (油脂). Yaseen conclude that some people may function better on a vegetarian diet because they are more able to synthesize (合成) certain lipid molecules that are present in meat.Some people who try vegetarianism but give up may be doing so because their body becomes deficient in the essential lipids, says Yaseen. “They decide that this diet is not for them or gradually go back into an omnivore (杂食) diet. Some people might think they just don’t have the willpower.”Another possibility is that the apparently vegetarianism-promoting gene variants affect people’s taste. “Alot of information about genes is yet to be known,” Yaseen says.Richard McIlwain at the UK Vegetarian Society says the number of vegetarians has almost doubled in the UK between 2012 and 2019. “That would seem to suggest something other than potential genetic factors are at play,” he says. “People go vegetarian because, more and m ore, they are concerned about climate, about animal welfare or about their health,” he says, which are more important determinants than physiological factors.8．What's the effect of RIOK3?A. To affect the metabolism of cholesterol.B. To influence the immune system.C. To shift cholesterol and fatty molecules.D. To affect the diet of vegetarianism.9．According to Yaseen’s study. who are more likely to produce lipid molecules appearing in meat?A. Omnivores.B. Meat-eatersC. Vegetarians.D. Weight-losers. 10．What does the underline word “deficient” in paragraph 4 mean?A. lacking.B. limited.C. rich.D. enough.11．Which of the following might Richard agree most?A. Genetic factors are the decisive reasons for being a vegetarian.B. The popularity of vegetarianism has been on a sharp increase globally.C. People choose to be a vegetarian mainly for ethical and health concerns.D. Some people fail to be a vegetarian because they tend to give up halfway.The rainforests are alive with the sound of animals. Besides the pleasure of the din, it is also useful to ecologists. If you want to measure the biodiversity of a piece of land, listening out for animal calls is much easier than digging about in the undergrowth looking for tracks. Bu t such “bio-acoustic analysis” is still time-consuming, and it requires an expert pair of ears.In a paper published on October 17th in Nature Communications, a group of researchers led by Jörg Müller, an ecologist at the University of Würzburg, describe a better way: have a computer do the job. Smartphone apps already exist that will identify birds, bats or mammals simply by listening to the sounds they make. Their idea was to apply the principle to conservation work.The researchers took recordings from across 43 sites in the Ecuadorean rainforest. Sound recordings were taken four times every hour, over two weeks. The various calls wereidentified manually by an expert, and then used to construct a list of the species present. As expected, the longer the land had been free from agricultural activity, the greater the biodiversity it hosted.Then it was the computer’s turn. The researchers fed their recordings to artificial-intelligence models that had been trained, using sound samples from elsewhere in Ecuador, to identify 75 bird species from their calls. “We found that the AI tools could identify the sounds as well as the experts,” says Dr Müller.Of course, not everything in a rainforest makes a noise. Dr Müller and his colleagues used light-traps to capture night-flying insects, and DNA analysis to identify them. Reassuringly, they found that the diversity of noisy animals was a reliable proxy (指标) for the diversity of the quieter ones, too.The results may have relevance outside ecology departments, too. Under pressure from their customers, firms such as L’Oreal, a make-up company, and Shell, an oil firm, have been spending money on forest restoration projects around the world. Dr Müller hopes that an automated approach to checking on the results could help monitor such efforts, and give a standardized way to measure whether they are working as well as their sponsors say 12．Which of the following best describes Dr Muller's method of bio-acoustic analysis?A. Costly.B. Impractical.C. High-tech.D. Labor-consuming. 13．What can we learn from the research of Dr Muller?A. The species in the rain forests have increased.B. Agricultural activity negatively influenced the richness in species.C. There are more reliable sound recordings in Ecuadorean rainforest.D. Trained AI models can identify as many kinds of sounds as experts.14．Why did the Dr Muller and his colleagues do the survey in Paragraph 5?A. To figure out the species of quieter animals.B. To confirm the biodiversity of the quieter animals.C. To emphasize the biodiversity of the noisy animals.D. To compare the noisy animals and the quieter ones.15．What's the main idea of the last paragraph?A. The investment in bio-acoustic analysis.B. The importance of forest restoration projects.C. The standard to measure the automated approach.D. The research’s impact on forest restoration projects.二、七选五16．There are two kinds of people climbing a mountain. The first, they are smiling, laughing and fully enjoying the journey no matter the effort they have taken. Another group, however, they are struggling. They have to stop and catch their breath 10 times on the way up.①_______It’s their lifestyle choices. We’ll give you three main reasons your pursuit of health and youth through lifestyle choices is an essential.You should build a strong foundation now.You probably know people who’ve survived a horrific disease —and it was said that their preexisting physical and spirits str engthen their bodies for battle and made them better equipped to endure stresses. That’s true with the recent COVID-19 pandemic: Severe cases are more likely for those with preexisting conditions, such as obesity, diabetes, heart disease, chronic lung disease and so on.②_______That is, healthy choices will help prevent chronic disease and set you up for a long life.It’s unclear how many reboots you’ll get.Perhaps in a utopian 25th-century world, there will exist some places that allows you to walk into a booth, press a few buttons, and erase every cigarette you’ve smoked, every couch you’ve potatoed, every potato you’ve ever fried.③_______Your ability to maximize their effectiveness will depend on your commitment to improving your biology through proven means: nutrition, physical activity, sleep, not smoking, and stress management.④_______The human brain remains the final biological frontier. So even if science ultimately allows us to correct our cells, genes, and other mechanisms that make our bodies work, when your brain goes, you will too.⑤_______And the steps are the same as those you can take to protect the rest of your body.A. What's the difference between them?B. No matter what happens, your brain needs you.C. You have the ability to change how your brain works and reacts.D. The same thinking will apply when we're talking about longevity.E. So you will definitely self-engineer your DNA switches to protect your brain.F. Your longevity depends more on the aggregate of what you do most of the time.G. But for the near future, it’s far more likely that your reboot chances will be limited.三、完形填空（15空）I didn’t really plan to learn percussion (打击乐器).

With such a tidy definition, it was easy to spot the difference. Not so in adulthood, where we are expected to “foot” bills, “chair” committees, and “dialogue” with political opponents. Chances are that you didn’t feel uncomfortable about the sight of those verbed nouns.“The verbing of nouns is as old as the English language,” says Patricia O’Conner, a former editor at The New York Times Book Review. Experts estimate that 20 percent of all English verbs were originally nouns. And the phenomenon seems to be snowballing. Since 1900, about 40 percent of all new verbs have come from nouns.Even though conversion (转化) is quite universal, plenty of grammarians object to the practice. Some most leading experts, William Strunk Jr. and E. B．White, in The Elements of Style—the Bible for the use of American English—have this to say: “Many nouns lately have been pressed into service as verbs. Not all are bad, but all are questionable.” The Chicago Manual of Style takes a similar standpoint, advising writers to use verbs with great care.“Sometimes people object to a new verb because they resist what is unfamiliar to them,” says O’Conner. That’s why we’re comfortable “hosting” a party, but we might feel upset by the thought of “medaling” in sports. So are there any rules for verbing? Benjamin Dreyer, copy chief at Random House, doesn’t offer a rule, but suggests that people think twice about “verbifying” a noun if it’s easily replaceable by an already existing popular verb. Make sure it’s descriptive but not silly-sounding, he says.In the end, however, style is subjective. Easy conversion of nouns to verbs has been part of English grammar for centuries; it is one of the processes that make English “English”. Not every coined word passes into general use, but as for trying to end verbing altogether, forget it.4．What can we learn about the verbing of nouns?A．It hasn’t recently been opposed by many grammarians.B．It is more commonly accepted by children than adults.C．It hasn’t been a rare phenomenon in the past century.D．It can be easily replaced by existing verbs in practice.5．What is most leading experts’ attitude towards the practice of the verbing of nouns? A．Cautious B．Objective.C．Optimistic.D．Unconcerned.6．What does the author think of ending the verbing of nouns?A．Predictable.B．Practicable.C．Approaching.D．Impossible.7．What is the best title for the text?A．Are 40 Percent of all new verbs from nouns?B．Are Summering and Medaling Annoying?C．Are You Comfortable about a New Verb?D．Are There Any Rules for Verbing?According to a new study, teens focus on rewards and have a hard time learning to avoid punishment or consider the consequences of alternative actions.University College London researchers compared how teens and adults learn to make choices based on the available information. They tracked the way in which 18 volunteers aged 12-17 and 20 volunteers aged 18-32 completed tasks in which they had to choose between abstract symbols.Each symbol was consistently associated with a fixed chance of a reward, punishment, or no outcome. As the trial progressed, participants learned which symbols were likely to lead to each outcome and adjusted their choices accordingly. Teens and adults were equally good at learning to choose symbols associated with reward, but teens were less good at avoiding symbols associated with punishment. Adults also performed significantly better when they were told what would have happened if they had chosen the other symbol after each choice, while teens did not appear to take this information into account.“From this experimental lab study we can draw conclusions about learning during the teen years. We find that teens and adults learn in different ways, something that might be relevant to education,” said lead author Dr. Stefano Palminteri. “Unlike adults, teens are not so good at learning to adjust their choices to avoid punishment. This suggests that incentive systems based on reward rather than punishment may be more effective for this age group. Additionally, we found that teens did not learn from being shown what would have happened if they made alternative choices.”To interpret the results, the researchers developed computational models of learning and ran simulations (模拟) applying them to the results of the study. The first was a simple model, one that learned from rewards, and the second model added to this by also learning from the option that was not chosen. The third model was the most complete and took the full context into account, with equal weight given to punishment avoidance and reward seeking. For example, obtaining no outcome rather than losing a point is weighed equally to gaining a point rather than having no outcome.Comparing the experimental data to the models, the team found that teens’ behavior followed the simple reward-based model while adults’ behavior matched the complete, contextual model. “Our study suggests that teens are more receptive to rewards than they are to punishments of equal value,” said senior author Dr. Sarah-Jayne Blakemore. “As a result, it may be useful for parents and teachers to frame things in more positive terms.”8．It can be learned from the study that .A．adults made choices faster than teensB．adults understood rewards better than teensC．teens reacted better to reward than punishmentD．teens were aware of the outcome of each choice9．What do we know about the three computational models?A．They mainly reflected people’s desire for punishment avoidance.B．They took different situations into consideration.C．They all paid equal attention to reward and punishment.D．They equaled having no outcome to losing a point.10．What is the most possible meaning of the underlined word “receptive” in the last paragraph? A．addicted B．opposedC．resistant D．responsive11．According to the writer, which of the following statements works best for teens?A．“If you insist on doing things in this way, you will lose ten points.”B．“If we had talked about this earlier, you wouldn’t have made the mistake.”C．“If you hand in your assignment ahead of time, you will get an extra award.”D．“If you want to approach a problem differently, you can talk to your parents.”A terrible thing happened to me while I was watching TV recently: I realized that I had aged. Now of course I know that I am aging, it’s just that I hadn’t realized quite how old I was until I saw a participant who I recognized on a reality TV show. Well, I didn’t recognize her but I recognized her name, I’d slightly known her in my 20s when she’d been the celebrity who had stolen my roommates’ boyfriends.However, here’s the thing that shocked me—I hadn’t recognized her because rather than the beauty I remembered, on my TV was a middle-aged mum cooking. And then it hit me: that’s what I look like too.It’s a particularly cruel change of nature that we can’t see ourselves as others do. We see our own face so often that the wrinkles that start to cut through it just go unnoticed. Occasionally we might get a rude awakening when suddenly our bodies stop working as expected but, for the most part, we’re left to get on with growing oreminder...oof many reminders. But when you get a reminder...oof! Since that show aired, I have sat in front of the mirror analyzing my face and wondering how I came to look so like my mother without noticing. I’ve also realized that my waist no longer fits into baby fat but a middle-aged spread.I also fear that I don’t know what middle age looks like for my generation. Did my mother still feel 24 when in reality she was 15 years older? And why do I not feel like I’m where I should be as I approach 40? I definitely remember writing a list of things I will have achieved by the time I’m 40 at 19. Where is the house in the South of France or the Porsche 911 she so desperately wanted?Since then, I’ve started to redefine myself. I don’t want to put everything down to age but I can’t quite stop myself. Tired again? Must be my age. Thank God then for social media. All around me Isee amazing women at the other end of their 40s. They’ve accepted their age and seem to love it, so I’m hopeful that as I move into the next decade that will be me too. And maybe I’ll get the Porsche before I’m 50.12．What is implied in Paragraph 1?A．The author has been friends with the TV celebrity.B．The TV celebrity used to be popular among boys.C．The TV celebrity now lives a life of extreme luxury.D．The aging process doesn’t affect the TV celebrity.13．In most cases, how do we perceive the aging process?A．We clearly know what happens.B．It is very likely to slip our mind.C．We can accept it quite peacefully.D．It always brings about hopelessness.14．The underlined word “that” in the last paragraph refers to .A．a lady denying being old B．the ambitious self aged 19C．a woman accepting her age D．the celebrity on the TV show15．What is the theme of this article?A．It matters not how long we live but how.B．Wrinkles are just evidence of great wisdom.C．Age is a very high price to pay for maturity.D．The best tunes are played on the oldest violins.Human bodies were actually designed for walking, a wonderful form of exercise at no cost. It’s kind to our bodies and great for our waistlines. 16Probably you already love to walk, but you’re getting bored of tracing the same old route day after day, or maybe you’re new to walking and aren’t sure how to get started. 17 Ask yourself, what do you want to get out of walking aside from the health benefits? Do you want to meet other people? See new places? Get out into the countryside or explore a new city? Knowing your goals will help you decide on the type of walk you want to do.Call up your friends and schedule walks with them if socializing is your aim. 18 Many malls have groups that come every day, or every weekend, to “walk the mall”. These groups are always happy to include one more walker!19 Many large cities have incredible gardens and parks that include quiet walking trails getting you off the beaten path. Thanks to the Rails to Trails program, railways across the country are being transformed into scenic walking paths that are a perfect way to seek calmness.From the benefits to your heart to your overall happiness, walking is just plain good for you.20 It’s a fantastic way to get to know a place by the power of your own two feet.A．This month, pick up a map and start walking.B．Ask your friends where they like to walk and just go there.C．You may as well consider heading to a new city for a change.D．Either way, it’s time to accept the idea of walking with a purpose.E．Recently, science has proved that walking is good for your body shape.F．And best of all, it’s a great way to see new things and meet new people!G．If you’re after walking alone, ask about local hikes that get you away from the crowd.二、完形填空（本大题共1小题）My husband and I had an argument last week.

International non-governmental organization World Wide Fund for Nature worked with Sky Ocean rescue to invent Waste Shark. The autonomous robot mostly functions on its own WasteShark wanders through distances of up to 5km of water. It collects plastics and other waste that pollute the oceans. Wasteshark is claimed to collect more than 15, 000 kilograms of waste a year if used five days a week. Additionally, it's designed in such a way that it doesn't give off carbon or produce light or noise pollution. So, it doesn't seem to harm nature. According to World Wide Fund for Nature, eight million tonnes of plastics are thrown into the oceans each year, which is horrible! Shockingly enough, 90 per cent of the world's sea birds have plastic in their stomachs. WasteShark is able to work for up to eight hours straight on a single charge, and its path can be customised and monitored remotely. In addition to cleaning up the ocean waste, it can gather other valuable data about the marine ecosystem to help further studies.A 篇21．推理判断题。

At 2,999m,Jabal Sawda had been considered the kingdom's highest peak until twin mountaineers, Matthew and Eric Gilbertson, climbed it in 2018，finding it to be about three metres shy of Jabal Ferwa.For more than a decade, the twins have traveled to one country after another around the world, rewriting the mountain record books about places across the Middle East and West Africa. So far they have reached the peaks of more than 100 countries and newly identified the highest points in Togo, Guinea-Bissau and Ivory Coast.Matthew, a research scientist at Lockheed Martin in Palo Alto ,California, and Eric, an instructor in mechanical engineering at Seattle University, said their work was motivated by a need for accuracy and love for mountaineering. "If we're going to go through all the effort to visit a country and visit the highest mountain," we want to be sure that we have indeed visited the highest mountain, Matthew said. "We consider it assistance to future mountaineers to have an accurate survey done so that they can focus their efforts on getting to whichever peak they want to get to."The twins' love of mountaineering began when they were children with family trips to the Great Smoky Mountains in the southeastern United States. When they were students at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology （MIT），they started climbing as many mountains as possible. In 2012，after achieving their goal of reaching the highest point of each US state, they turned their attention to the rest of the world.4、What can we learn about Jabal Sawda？A.It's Saudi Arabia's best place.B.It's lower than Jabal Ferwa.C.It's Saudi Arabia's highest peak.D.It's better-known than Jabal Ferwa.5、Why have the twins traveled to different countries in past years？A.To write books about mountains.B.To rename the peaks of mountains.C.To measure their highest mountain.D.To admire good views of the mountain.6、What do Matthew's words indicate about their work in paragraph 3？A.It satisfies their need for accuracy.B.It deepens their love for climbing.C.It makes them focus their efforts on life.D.It helps climbers choose their destination.7、What might the following paragraph talk about？A.The twins' other goals in their life.B.The twins' experiences in other countries.C.The twins' influence on other mountaineers.D.The twins' achievements in finding peaks.Electric bicycles have established themselves as an important mode of transportation worldwide, and their fame continues to improve as the electric vehicle revolution (革命) is slowly spreading over the world. Embracing the advantages of electric bikes not only benefits the economy but also improve the general well-being of the population.Germany, in particular, has witnessed a remarkable upswing in the e-bike industry, displaying no signs of slowing down despite initial hesitations earlier this year. In May, favorable weather made it more convenient to ride e-bikes, which contributed to the increase of e-bike sales. By the end of May this year, Germany had produced over one million electric bikes, marking a significant five-percent growth compared to the same period last year. This growth is particularly impressive considering the challenging economic climate the country has faced.Burkhard Stock, the Managing Director of the Zweirad-Industrie-Verband (ZIV), discussed this unbelievable turn of events in a report published by German e-bike publicationthe first half of the year. However, it turned out that a positive change in the industry wasseen in May.ZIV, a famous organization in the German and international bicycle industries, plays a key role as a governing body and major stakeholder (股东) in the European e-bike field. About 90 percent of all electric bikes produced by German companies are made by ZIV member companies. Their presence ensures the industry’s steady growth and development.In addition to the market within the country, German-made electric bicycles have gone to other parts of the world. In the first quarter of this year, an astonishing 190, 000 electric bikes were sold abroad, meaning a significant 28-percent increase compared to the previous year. A majority of these electric bikes were transported to European Union and European Free Trade Association member countries. It is expected that the German e-bike market will produce a total of two million electric bicycles by the end of this year.8、What resulted in a better e-bike market in May?A. Effective marketing strategies.B. Favorable turn of economic climate.C. Improved environmental awareness.D. Weather conditions suitable for cycling.9、What does the underlined word “anticipated” in paragraph 3 mean?A. Prevented.B. Guaranteed.C. Encountered.D. Expected.10、What do the numbers of German-made e-bikes in the last paragraph show?A. A greater demand for electricity.B. A complete hold of the global market.C. A strong export performance of e-bikes.D. A higher political rank in the United Nations.11、Which part does this text probable appear on the website?A. Travel.B. Industry.C. Sport.D. Advertisement.I have spent the last few months with Yang, my new dog, one I am co-raising to be a service dog. He will stay with me for 14 months or so. If he proves to be good enough, he will be sent to the guide dog school for further training and eventually become a seeing-eye dog.Dogs help people in lots of ways, but service dogs are different from working dogs, therapy (治疗) dogs, and emotional support animals. Service dogs are trained to do specific tasks for people with disabilities. They can pull wheelchairs, get medicine, remind you to take your medicine, help keep you stable while walking, and alert (警示) you to important sounds or dangerous things in your way. Service dogs have lots of different skills, depending on the disability they are trained for.No matter how you get a service dog, they usually go through a tough training program with an experienced trainer. In the last month of training, the service dog spends time with you and the instructor. The instructor teaches the dog to help you, and tells you how to command, handle, and care for the dog.Service dogs need obeying skills and other very special skills. When you think about how to get a service dog, consider finding one with relevant characters. They should be calm, be able to learn and hold onto information. To train a service dog, you should start with basic skills like focusing on you, ignoring disturbing factors and being able to stay on task in new places with new people, smells, and animals.It’s important to keep your dog healthy so that they can best help you. Give your dog access to plenty of fresh water and a balanced diet, and keep their vaccinations (疫苗) updated. Yearly visits to the vet are also important to make sure you catch any changes in your dog’s health.12、Why does the author mention Yang in paragraph 1?A. To show his emotions.B. To present a mystery.C. To describe his daily life.D. To introduce the main topic.13、Who is advised to keep a service dog?A. A healthy animal lover.B. A person with sight disability.C.

Her family was very poor. She decided to help her family even when she was very young, so she learned to use a gun, and began hunting (打猎) animals for food. She could shoot them without losing the important parts of the meat．Soon her shooting ability became well known. When she was sixteen, she was invited to a competition with a famous marksman (神枪手), Frank Butler. Annie surprised everyone by winning the competition. Later that year she and Frank married.In 1882, Annie Oakley and Frank Butler started putting on shows together. Frank Butler was the star of the show and she was his assistant. The famous Native American leader, Sitting Bull, thought so highly of her shooting ability that he called her “Little Sure Shot”. Later Annie Oakley became the star of the show and Frank Butler was her assistant. Posters (海报) for the show called her the “Champion Markswoman”.During World War One, Annie Oakley wanted to train a group of women volunteers for the army, but the United States did not accept it.

Haven't you noticed that you have become smarter since you started to learn a language?According to a new study by a British university, learning a second language can lead to an increase in your brain power. Researchers found that learning other languages changes grey matter. This is the area of the brain which processes information. It is similar to the way that exercise builds muscles.The study also found the effect is greater, the younger people learn a second language.A team led by Dr Andrea Mechelli, from University College London, took a group of Britons who only spoke English. They were compared with a group of "early bilinguals" who had learnt asecond language before the age of five, as well as a number of later learners.Scans showed that grey matter density(密度) in the brain was greater in bilinguals than in people without a second language. But the longer a person waited before mastering a new language, the smaller the difference."Our findings suggest that the structure of the brain is changed by the experience of learning a second language," said the scientists.It means that the change itself increases the ability to learn.Professor Dylan Vaughan Jones of the University of Wales, has researched the link betweenbilingualism and maths skills．"Having two languages gives you two windows on the world and makes the brain more flexible(灵活的), "he said．"You are actually going beyond language and have a better understanding of different ideas."The findings were matched in a study of native Italian speakers who had learned English as a second language between the ages of two and 34．Reading, writing, and comprehension were all tested. The results showed that the younger they started to learn, the better．"Studying a language means you get an entrance to another world," explained the scientists.13.The main subject talked about in this passage is ______ .A．science on learning a second languageB．man’s ability of learning a second languageC．1anguage can help brain powerD．1anguage learning and maths study14．In the second paragraph, the writer mentions “exercise” in order to ______ .A．say language is also a kind of physical laborB．prove that one needs more practice when he(she) is learning a languageC．to show the importance of using the language when you learn the languageD．make people believe language learning helps grey matter work well15．The underlined word “bilingual” probably means ______ .A．a researcher on language learningB．a person who is good at learning foreign languagesC．a person who can speak two languagesD．an active language learner二、阅读七选五（本题共计1小题，总分10分）5.（10分）第二节七选五（共5小题，每题2分，共10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
