Different families hold different focuses of family tradition, such as unity, love and care, honesty, diligence, respect and responsibility.Now, I’d like to introduce ours to you —hard-working, which my family would appreciate permanently. In the morning, my grandma usually gets up early, prepares us a good breakfast, and then begins to do other jobs. She works slowly, but always makes everything clean. Under the influence of my grandmother, my mother also does quite well both in her work and at home. Because of this attitude, every year she was titled "outstanding communist." After dinner, she often gives up entertainment, helping our family with housework. It’s my grandmother and my mother's diligent deeds that make me believe that if there is dirt just mop it repeatedly, never quitting until removing it. I serve as a good help to my teachers and classmates as well as my family. Hardworking has deeply rooted in my heart in the form of invisible power.Family education is an important part of Chinese traditional culture and education. It can be a life of truth; also the principle of doing things. Good family tradition pushes one generation after another to ensure children’s healthy growth, whose positive energy promotes social progress of civilization.What about your ideas about it? Looking forward to your letter.Yours sincerely,Li Hua听力材料Text 1:W: It was really a wonderful game. Zhejiang team was strong and our family team wasn’t bad, either.M: No, we weren’t. If only I had written the right spelling of the characters.Text2:M: Does Shanghai rain a lot in summer?W: Oh yes! Sometimes it rains very heavily. How about here in Beijing?M: There’s a lot of rain in summer. But it seldom rains in autumn.Text 3:M: How many people are you paying the airport tax for?W: Me and my boyfriend.M: They are 12 US dollars each.W: Oh, OK. Here’s 30 dollars.M: Here are your two receipts and change.Text 4:M: I am interested in purchasing that clock. I have been late to work almost every day this week.W: Well, luckily, this one has an alarm clock. I use the same one every day myself, and it is very helpful.Text 5:M: Did you enjoy holidays in Brighton?W: Yes, we had a good time. And we had some friends with us there.M: Where did you stay? In a hotel?W: No. We camped near the mountains.Text 6:M: There is just one problem, madam. Your driver’s license is no longer valid.W: What?M: Yes. It is the 19th today, and your driver’s license was valid through the 17th. I’m afraid it breaks the rule. Do you have another form of ID?W: Not with me. My passport is at home, but that’s 30 minutes away.M: I’m sorry, but this is our rule. If you want to continue with your deposit or check your account records, you might have to go home and get it.W: That’s OK. I’ll just come back tomorrow with my passport.Text 7M: Can you show me some sweaters, please?W: Certainly, Sir. We have a large variety over here. Do you like any of these?M: That blue one there is very nice. How much is it?W: It’s a hundred and sixty-nine dollars.M: That’s more than I want to spend. Do you have anything less expensive?W: Certainly, Sir. What price range do you have in mind?M: I’d like to stay under a hundred dollars.W: In that case, I strongly recommend this red one. It’s just five dollars over your limit and is worth every penny of it.M: OK. I’ll take it.Text 8M: What’s wrong, Cathy?W: Jackie, do you know how this telephone works? The sign says we can use it for long-distance calls, but I don’t know where to put the money.M: Oh, well, this kind of phone doesn’t take coins. You have to buy a special card to insert down there at the bottom.W: I’ve never heard of that before.M: Here, I have one.W: Where did you get it?M: At the information office on school campus. It costs eight dollars. I think you can also get them directly from the phone company, too.W: Can we save money by using the card?M: No, not really. But it’s pretty convenient indeed.W: I guess I’ll go over to the office and get one now.M: Here, just take mine.W: Thanks.Text 9M: Hi, Wendy.W: Oh, Jonny. How are you doing? Busy?M: No, not at all. I’ve been a couch potato lately, killing time by watching TV. Oh, by the way, did you hear the news?W: What news?M: The government is going to turn the city square into an amusement park.W: Wonderful. I am glad that the big and ugly thing will be gone.M: Why? Don’t you think, the square is 100 times better than any amusement park?W: I don’t think so.M: The square is a symbol of our city.W: Well, I don’t know if that huge and boring thing can be our symbol. What I care is that the city has dozens of parks where you can take a nice walk.M: You’re right, but don’t you think that we will no longer have a peaceful and quiet place once the amusement park opens?W: Does that matter? More importantly, the amusement park means employment.M: Why?W: Income. If you have income, you have money to spend, and in turn, it will create more jobs.Text 10What do Napoleon and Clinton have in common? They are both left-handed.Today, about 15% of people are left-handed. But why are people left-handed? The answer has to do with the way the brain works. The brain has two halves —the right half controls the left side of the body and the left controls the right side of the body. So, right-handed people have a strong left-brain. And left-handed people have a strong right-brain.The two halves of the brain are about the same size. But each side controls different things. The left side controls language, math, and logic. When you remember new words, or when you put things in order, you use your left side. The right side of the brain controls your love of art, colors, and music. It is also good at recognizing faces.This doesn’t mean that all artists are left-handed and all lawyers are right-handed. Some right-handers have a strong right-brain, and some left-handers have a strong left-brain. Very few ofus can use both of our hands equally well.。

Commenting on the findings, Heather Wipfli and Jonathan Samet from the University of Southern California, said policymakers try to __44__ families to stop smoking in the home.While deaths due to passive smoking in children were skewed (曲解) toward poor and middle-income countries, deaths in adults were __45__ across countries at all income levels.In Europe’s high-income countries, only 71 child deaths occurred, while 35,388 deaths were in adults.

In places where smoke-free rules are __49__, research shows that exposure to second-hand smoke in high-risk places like bars and restaurants can be cut by 90 percent, and in general by 60 percent, the researchers said.Studies also show such laws help to reduce the number of cigarettes smoked by smokers and lead to higher __50__ rates in those trying to quit.III.

Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Due to rising pollution and a strengthening yuan, Beijing saw its tourist numbers drop to 4.20 million visits from January to November in 2013 from 5.01 million visits in 2012.The number of overseas travelers to Beijing grew after the city hosted the 2008 Olympics until 2012, when it saw a 3.8% __51__, followed by the further drop last year.

While RMB is on the rise, currencies from some of China’s __59__ for tourism, such as Japan, are depreciating (贬值), meaning travel to some other Asian countries has been getting cheaper while travel to China is becoming more expensive,” Jiang Yiyi said. In 2013, the Japanese yen fell 21% against the U.S. dollar, __60__ 10 million overseas tourists.The Beijing Tourism Development Commission noted that the country’s battle with pollution is another __61__ cities face in attracting overseas tourists.Heavy air pollution from Beijing to Shanghai, where pollution levels went off the charts in December, __62__ don’t do much to help attract tourists.China’s tourism officials are expecting to __63__ the trend of declining overseas visitors in 2014 — possible, experts say, if it __64__ its outdated tour packages and lowers ticket prices.Jiang Yiyi at the China Tourism Academy suggests China adopt a long-term national plan to __65__ the country’s image and investment in overseas tourism to attract more visitors.51.

They are eating pizza, chicken wings and chips and cheering every move. They’re watching the Super Bowl.Why are Americans so crazy about American football? Well, it is more exciting than other sports. One team can lose possession of the ball in a minute, which may allow their opponents to make a touchdown (触地得分). Then that team may win the game unexpectedly.The Super Bowl also entertains its audience with a great halftime show. The football field is turned into a stage. Then an impressive performance of dancing and singing with special effects occurs.Since the Super Bowl is the most-watched TV program in America, commercial airtime is also very expensive. Big money is also spent on commercials. They draw the viewers’attention and advertise their image or products during the commercial break.After football season, the “March Madness”begins.

The virtual wall is designed to _____.A. limit the robot to a certain areaB. prevent the robot from bumping into wallsC. stop the robot from reaching 4 metersD. create a bunch of light outside thedoorway(C)We have entered a new age of embedded (嵌入式的), intuitive (直觉的) computing in which our homes, cars, stores, farms, and factories have the ability to think, sense, understand, and respond to our needs. It’s not science fiction, but the dawn of a new age.Most people might not realize it yet, but we are already feeling the impact of what’s known as the third wave of computing. In small but significant ways it is helping us live healthier and more secure lives. If you drive a 2014 Mercedes Benz, for example, an “intelligent” system tries to keep you from hitting a pedestrian. A farmer in Nigeria relies on weather sensors that communicate with his mobile device. Forgot your medicine? A new pill bottle from AdhereTech reminds you through text or automatic phone messages that it’s time to take a pill.Technology is being integrated (融入) into our natural behaviors, with real-time data connecting our physical and digital worlds. With this dramatic shift in our relationship to technology, companies can adapt their products and services.To understand how revolutionary the third wave is, we ought to consider how far we have come. The first wave began when companies started to manage their operations throughmainframe computer systems over 50 years ago. Then computing got “personal” in the 1980s and the 1990s with the introduction of the PC (personal computer). For the most part, computing remained immobile and lacked contextual awareness.In computing’s second wave, mobile computing and the smartphone took center stage. Billions of people, some of whom might not have had access to clean water, electricity, or even housing, were connected. Developers created applications and provided consumers with access to just about everything through their phone at the cost of a monthly data plan.As the third wave keeps developing, designers must meet the demands of consumers who want to experiment with new technology.Historically, designers have focused their attention on a product’s form and function. While that still matters, of course, the definition of a meaningful user experience has expanded significantly and will continue to do so. Instead of creating a single product, designers will need to imagine a series of connected products and services that have awareness of each other and their surroundings.74. Why are three examples given in Paragraph 2?A. To tell us that human beings are smarter and smarter.B. To illustrate the importance and necessity of technology.C. To prove that we are living healthier and more secure lives.D. To show the impact of the third wave of computing on our life.75. In the first wave of computing _____.A. companies’ operations were reliable on computer systemsB. computing had awareness of people’s needs in the contextC. people could have access to computing almost everywhereD. it was possible for people to experience computing at home76. Which of the following is a situation in the third wave of computing?A. There’s no need to create a single product.B. The definition of the user experience is more significant.C. Products and services are not independent of each other.D. The products’ form and functions are no longer important.77. What can we conclude from the passage about the new age we are facing?A. There’s a shift of attention from people’s physical worlds to their digital worlds.B. There’s closer relationship between technology and people’s natural behaviours.C. People live more happily with the convenience brought by advanced technology.D. People become lazier with the products that can think and respond to their needs.Section CDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.How many hours do you spend sitting in a chair every day? Eight hours in the office plus three hours in front of the TV after work is the usual situation for many people.You probably don’t need an expert to tell you that sitting too much is not good for your health —from an increased risk of heart disease and obesity (肥胖) in the long term, to reduced cholesterol (胆固醇) maintenance in the short term, not to mention the pressure on your neck and spine (脊柱).To make matters worse, a growing body of research suggests that the negative effects of sitting too much cannot be countered with a good diet and regular exercise, according to an article in The New York Times. The article reported that a study of nearly 9, 000 Australians found that for each additional hour of television a person watched per day, the risk of dying rose by 11 percent. In other words, sitting is killing us.Stand up for health. Health experts suggest we break up those many hours spent sitting with more hours spent standing.The BBC and the University of Chester in the UK conducted a simple experiment with a small group of 10 volunteers who usually spent most of the day sitting. They were asked to stand for at least three hours a day. The researchers took measurements on days when the volunteers stood, and when they sat around. When they looked at the data, there were some striking differences. Blood sugar became level after a meal much quicker on the days when the volunteers in the study stood compared with the days they spent in a chair. Standing also burned more calories (热量单位:卡路里)—about 50 calories an hour. Over the course of a year that would add up to about 30, 000 extra calories, or around 3.63 kilograms of fat.John Buckley, a member of the research team, said that although doing exercise offers many proven benefits, our bodies also need the constant, almost imperceptible (感觉不到的) increase in muscle activity that standing provides. Simple movement helps us to keep our all-important blood sugar under control.The researchers believe that even small adjustments, like standing while talking on the phone, going over to talk to a colleague rather than sending an e-mail, or simply taking the stairs instead of the elevator, will help.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)78. According to the context, the underlined expression “be countered with” in Paragraph 3can best be replaced by “________”.79. The two findings of the simple experiment conducted by the BBC and the University ofChester in the UK are that standing _________.80. Why is standing better than doing exercise according to John Buckley?81. What does the passage mainly want to tell us?第II卷(共47分)I.

Apart from her parents, interacting with others often proved to be a painful experience.But Xu's reality was changed when she started receiving help from the Zhang Xinya Rehabilitation (康复) Center in Shanghai. "She used to be totally dependent on us and barely spoke. Now, she has learned how to write in Chinese, how to wash the dishes and how to do the laundry herself," says Yan Ping, Xu's mother.Founded in 2021 by Zhang Xinya, the center since its establishment has helped dozens of individuals like Xu with 21 of them eventually securing a job. Besides those having challenges, the center also provides assistance to those who are visually or hearing impaired (受损的). "We can unearth their potential and teach them theability to take care of themselves," says the 73-year-old, "By doing this, I also hope that their parents can be hopeful of their children's future."Zhang Xinya herself is also a mother to a girl with mental challenges. To help her daughter build meaningful connections with society, Zhang took her to a government-funded center to learn physical exercises that would improve her motor sills Zhang later decided to volunteer at the center, which eventually inspired her to open her own rehabilitation facility (场所).The center provides various classes conducted by professional teachers and psychological counselors and everyday skills are included in the syllabus (教学大纲). More than 400 lawyers, public health professionals and doctors have been invited to the station to give lectures. These individuals with special needs also receive heath checks at Zhang's center."Many of the individuals could not take care of themselves when they first came, but now they can hold chopstick or spoon and eat by themselves. Some used to remain silent all the time but they can now sing and dance," says Zhang. "Seeing them make progress is what makes this all worthwhile. This is what drives me to keep going."〔1〕What's the challenge in her life before Xu Haofang went to the center?A.Her unemployment.B.The pressure from the society.C.Her disability and dependence.ck of trust in others.〔2〕Which word can explain the underlined word "unearth" in paragraph 3?B.removeD.admire〔3〕What inspires Zhang Xinya to set up the rehabilitation center?A.Her desire to see the disabled make progress in daily work.B.Her experience as a volunteer in a government-funded center.C.The encouragement she got from parents of those with special needs.D.Her intention to help her daughter build meaningful connections with society.〔4〕According to the passage, we can conclude that _________.A.the center mainly helps those who have mental challengesB.all of the classes in the center are given by professional teachersC.the center will secure jobs for the individuals with special needsD.many individuals in the center have made progress in many aspects3.阅读理解Do you continue to be healthy in social isolation (隔离)? NASA is looking for people to spend 8 months locked in a Russian lab for a new experiment.When humans go to the moon and travel to Mars, they will need to be prepared for long-term space travel and even longer stays on these far-off destinations. Currently, NASA's Artemis program aims to land humans on the moon for the first time since NASA's Apollo 17 mission landed in 1972.While the moon is the main goal of NASA's Artemis program, the agency's larger goal is to send people to Mars. But long term space travel and habitation (居住) won't be easy. Such missions will present both physicaland mental challenges as astronauts work to not only survive, but perform important scientific research in uniquely difficult environments.In the upcoming NASA-Russia experiment, a group of people will live in a closed facility at Russia's Institute for Biomedical Problems, which is in Moscow. This habitat facility was used in 2021 for a notable series of Russian mock (模拟的) Mars missions known as Mars500. During these missions, groups of people spent 520 and 105 days on two separate missions in the facility.The facility, according to the statement, will have "environmental factors similar to those astronauts are expected to experience on future missions to Mars". The group of people will spend 8 months living together in isolation and working on scientific research.By living and working in this Mars-like environment, participants in this study will help NASA researchers understand the psychological and physiological (生理的) effects of isolation. These missions help researchers not only perform relevant science experiments but also see how people might get on under strange conditions for long periods of time.So, if you're finding that living in social isolation works for you, you might be particularly well-suited for living in a Mars-like environment and this could be for you. But first, you have to qualify. NASA is looking for "highly motivated" Americans between the age of 30-55, who must speak both Russian and English fluently and have a Master of Science, Doctor of Philosophy, Doctor o[ Medicine, or military officer training. Applicants with other related experience may also be considered. Those who are chosen to be a part of this group will be paid for their work.〔1〕Which of the following succeeded in landing humans on the moon?A.Apollo 17 mission.B.Artemis program.C.Mars500.D.Institute for Biomedical Problems.〔2〕What do we know about the new NASA Russia experiment?A.It will send people to live on Mars for 8 months.B.It needs experienced Americans without an age limit.C.It will be carried out in a Mars-like environment in NASA.D.It makes preparations for NASA'S human spaceflight program.〔3〕Why does the author mention "Mars500" in the text?A.To show the progress in space technology.B.To explain why the facility has been chosen.C.To indicate the new experiment will be successful.D.To describe the life of astronauts in the mock Mars missions.〔4〕Which can be a suitable title for the text?A.Want to Have A Trip to Mars? Come!B.Aretmis—NASA'S Latest Programpetent in Isolation? NASA Wants You!D.NASA's Human Space Travel Program4.阅读理解The genetics of human eye color is much more complex than previously thought. according to a new study published recently.An international team of researchers led by King's College London and Erasmus University Medical Center Rotterdam have identified 50 new genes for eye color in the largest genetic study of its kind to date. The study, published in Science Advances, involved the genetic analysis of almost 195,000 people across Europe and Asia.These findings will help to improve the understanding of eye diseases such as pigmentary glaucoma and ocular albinism, where eye pigment (色素) levels play a role. In addition, the team found that eye color in Asians with different shades of brown is genetically similar to eye color in Europeans ranging from dark brown to light blue.This study builds on previous research in which scientists had identified a dozen genes linked to eye color, believing there to be many more. Previously, scientists thought that variation in eye color was controlled by one or two genes only, with brown eyes dominant (显性的) over blue eyes.Co-senior author Dr Pirro Hysi, King's College London, said: "The findings are exciting because they bring us to a step closer to understanding the genes that cause one of the most striking features of the human faces, which has mystified (使困感) generations throughout our history. This will improve our understanding of many diseases that we know are associated with specific pigmentation levels."Co-senior author Dr Manfred Kayser, Erasmus University Medical Center Rotterdam, said: "This study delivers the genetic knowledge needed to improve eye colour prediction from DNA as already applied in anthropological (人类学的) and forensic (法医的) studies, but with limited accuracy for the non-brown and non-blue eye colours."〔1〕What does Paragraph 3 talk about?A.The result and significance of the new study.B.The key role eye pigment plays in eye discases.C.The detailed progress of the newly-published study.D.The difference in eye colors of Asians and Europeans.〔2〕What's Dr. Pirro Hysi's attitude towards the new findings?A.Critical.B.Disappointed.C.Skeptical.D.Supportive.〔3〕Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A.Scientists used to believe that eye color depended on a variety of genes.B.Dr. Manfred Kayser identifies that the study can be applied to all eye colors.C.Published in Science Advances, the study analyzed about 195,000 people globally.D.The research which identified 50 new genes for eye color is the biggest of its kind so far.〔4〕What's the main idea of the passage?A.Eye pigment levels are inked most eye diseases.B.A new study found eye colors may be inked with many genes.C.International scientists conduced a genetic analysis of eye colors and diseases.D.Studies showed eye colors of Asians were different from those of Europeans.二、任务型阅读5.任务型阅读Self-confidence is connected with almost every aspect of a happy and fulfilling life. ________If you have been lacking in confidence, you're probably familiar with over thinking ________But by being confident, you will be able to break the cycle of over-thinking,________If you have ever learned a language, mastered a skill, reached a fitness goal, or otherwise overcome setbacks to get to where you wanted to be, you're well on your way.You might be thinking, "Well, sure, I was proud of my ‘A' in Calculus back in high school, but what does that have to do with anything now?" Looking back on your life, you'll possibly find that every accomplishment takes efforts. ________As your confidence grows, you'll find yourself more driven to improve your abilities. ________But with self-assurance, those thoughts will no longer be paralyzing (令人麻痹的). Instead, you'll be able to smile and act anyway, feeling energized by your progress in achieving goals which mean something to you.A. "What-if" thoughts will still arise: "What if I fail?"B. The more confident you are, the more faith you will have in yourself.C. It is related to anxiety and worry, which can make us cut off from the world.D. Building self-confidence requires you to keep a positive attitude towards your life.E. Building confidence means taking small steps that leave a lasting sense of accomplishment.F. A person with self-confidence generally likes themselves and thinks positively about the future.G. If you could overcome difficulties then, you can do it in other areas of your life where you feel self- doubt.三、完形填空6.完形填空Ida Nelson was in her sister's sauna (桑拿浴室), relaxing.
