Megan Piphus Peace is one of them: In late 2021, she became the show’s first full-time black woman puppeteer, playing a 6-year-old black girl named Gabrielle. Last month, she officially left her real estate career. “I always dreamed of working in television, but I never imagined myself being on Sesame Street,” she says.Piphus Peace, now 29, grew up watching Sesame Street. As a young child, she considered the puppets to be her companions, not realizing until she was older that they weren’t real. She has been pursuing puppeteering since then. At Vanderbilt University, where she studied economics, she was known as the “Vanderbilt Ventriloquist (腹语表演者).” She even appeared on The Tonight Show in 2012 and America’s Got Talent in 2013.One of Piphus Peace’s teachers, Leslie Carrara-Rudolph, who played the Sesame Street character Abby Cadabby in 2006, says that Piphus Peace is a gifted storyteller and natural leader. “To say that I was amazed by Megan would be an understatement,”Carrara-Rudolph says. “I was inspired by her loving heart, strength of character, humor, humanity and what an energetic creative force she is.”Although Piphus Peace submitted her first video audition (试演) to Sesame Street in 2017, she didn’t hear back until 2020, when Matt Vogel, the puppet captain of the show, reached out to her. “She comes from a different kind of puppetry background than most of other Sesame Street puppet performers,” Vogel says. “We went to college to learn puppetry, or acting schools, etc., but Megan learned the art of ventriloquism by herself.”4．What do we know about Piphus Peace?A．She used to work in television. B．She is now part of Sesame Street. C．She was called Gabrielle at a young age.

A．She is a self-trained ventriloquist. B．She is the most popular performer. C．She has played many different characters. D．She is the only female actress in the show.Reading books can obviously make you a better, smarter entrepreneur. According to a 2018 study of over 160,000 adults in 31 countries, the more books that were present in participants’ childhood homes, the more competent they now were as adults with skills in literacy, mathematics, and technological problem-solving. Researchers note that book-oriented socialization, indicated by home library size, equips youth with lifelong tastes, skill and knowledge.Growing up with home libraries boosts adult skills in literacy, numeracy and technological problem-solving beyond the benefits acquired from parental education or your own educational or occupational attainment. Kids who grow up in a home where reading is valued and modeled are more likely to be good readers. Strangely enough, though, advanced education doesn’t necessarily offset the “lots of books in the home” advantage. Adults who grew up with relatively few books in their homes and later earned a college degree had literacy levels approximately equal to adults who grew up in homes with large libraries but only attended school for nine years.Jessica Stillman [of Inc.] writes, surrounding yourself with more books than you could ever read says good things about your mind. Those books serve as a constant reminder of all the things you don’t know — which helps keep you intellectually hungry and curious. And possibly, this will keep you a little more modest, since research shows the quicker you are to admit you don’t know something, the faster you can then learn it. As Jeff Bezos says, a key sign of intelligence is the willingness to change your mind, something that only happens if you’re willing to admit that your current thinking may not be the best thinking. Modesty, learning and the willingness to change your mind when new data presents itself: That’s another three bonus every entrepreneur can benefit from.8．What does paragraph 1 mainly talk about the research?A．Tough process. B．Inspiring discovery.C．Numerous data. D．Advanced technology.9．Which of the following can best replace the underlined word “offset” in paragraph 2?A．Compete with. B．Differ from. C．Go against. D．Compensate for. 10．Why does the author mention Jessica?A．To keep readers intellectually hungry. B．To stress the significance of modesty.C．To remind readers of their ignorance. D．To evidence the benefits of home library.11．What is the passage mainly about?A．Home library size indicates lifelong skills. B．Home reading equals to a college degree.C．Modesty makes a promising entrepreneur. D．Childhood libraries lead to adulthood success.The Gold Coast family holidays are always great fun whether you are from Australia or from abroad. There are beautiful beaches, adventure parks, nature parks and so much more.There are so many sights to see here. It is a pity to drive in a car and you’ll miss a great part of it. Australia is home to many animals and birds that can only be seen when moving slowly and going into the areas that they live.When you are on a bicycle, you have the strength of being able to stop whenever you want to see an interesting animal or bird that you have never seen before. It is a quieter mode (方式) of transportation as well, so you might even be able to take a picture. When you are on the beach, you can breathe that clean air and view the beauty of the water and sand. It is a totally different experience from either simply sunbathing or passing it in a car.There are many choices of hiring a bicycle to experience the Gold Coast attractions. There are stores that will fit a bike perfectly to your size. These bikes for both adults and children are in many styles and colors to please any taste. If you have ever wanted to try a tandem bike (双人单车), now is your chance, because they have those too.A bicycle hire on Gold Coast is something that everyone should try at least once. This is a wonderful chance for anyone who likes to cycle and it is also a cheap way to travel with your family.12．You’d better not drive in a car on Gold Coast because ________.A．you will break the traffic rulesB．you will cause much noiseC．you can’t enjoy the beautiful sights wellD．you can’t drive into some parks13．The following advantages of hiring bikes are mentioned EXCEPT that ________.

It turns out that just looking at green, growing things can reduce stress, lower blood pressure, and put people into a better mood (情绪).Greenery is good for us. Hospital patients who see tree branches out their window are likelyto recover at a faster rate than patients who see buildings or sky instead. 19 It gives us a great feeling of peace.20 While the sun’s rays can age and harm our skin, they also give is beneficial Vitamin D．To make sure you get enough Vitamin D—but still protect your skin— put on sunscreen right as you head outside. It takes sunscreen about fifteen minutes to start working, and that’s plenty of time for your skin to absorb a day’s worth of Vitamin D．A．Being in nature refreshes us.B．But is fresh air really as good for you as your mother always said?C．Fresh air cleans our lungs.D．So what are you waiting for?E．Another side benefit of getting fresh air is sunlight.F．All across the country, recovery centers have begun building Healing Gardens.G．Just as importantly, we tend to associate air with health care.三、完形填空Music can make us happy, peaceful or sad.

AWild Times In The Lone Star StateWhether you are enjoying the atmosphere in old-time towns, hiking into untouched wilderness or preparing for horseback adventures, the plains, grasslands and valleys of Texas make for an astonishing journey. This is a land rich in natural wonders—read on to discover how you could absorb yourself in a little authentic western culture.Hike A Natural WonderLocated in the Texas, Palo Duro is the second largest canyon(峡谷) in North America, dropping more than 240 metres. The highlight of along walk in this rough but beautiful region is to climb to the Lighthouse, a sandstone rock structure. From here, you will be amazed at the view across miles of dramatic Texas wilderness.Enjoy An Enchanted DuskShaped like a large, pink loaf of bread, the Enchanted Rock stands 130m highat the top. Hike up to its summit before sunset to take in the view across the uneven land below-and listen carefully: as night falls, you might just hear the rock start to make a screeching noise, just as the old legends insist it does at dusk.Meet The Real CowboysFort Worth, as Texans will tell you, is known as Cowtown. Every morning and afternoon, a herd of longhorns moves along Exchange Avenue in the world’s only daily cattle drive. The cows are heading to the stockyards. This energetic district is full of exciting bars and restaurants set among grand early 20th-century buildings.Explore The DepthsPreviously only accessible to experienced explorers, a section of the Natural Bridge Caverns—a huge cave system near San Antonio—has now been opened to all comers. It includes a new viewing area overlooking a passage called the Box Canyon, which provides a natural theatre for a sound and light show.21. What is Texas abundant in?A. Natural attractions.B. Old legends.C. Grand buildings.D. Ancient towns.22. Which place is recommended to enjoy the sunset scenery?A. Palo Duro.B. The Enchanted Rock.C. Fort Worth.D. The Natural Bridge Caverns.23.

Tourists can overlook the Texas wilderness in the Natural Bridge Caverns.D. Climbing to the Lighthouse is the most attractive part of the hike in Palo Duro.BWhen I was in senior high school, I was scared of writing application letters. One of my biggest fears was the fear of rejection. Keeping myself in a safe space and doing things that I know I can perform well was my favorite pastime. But I knew I had to make a change, so I tried to apply for the college myself.When I received the first reply letter, I was taking a class then. My heart was beating wildly while I waited for the school internet to connect faster. When I saw the letter starting with “Thank you for your application. After a careful review...”, I felt my face growing hotter. Although it was a college I was not thinking of going to even if I did get in, I was heart-broken.This fear is applicable anywhere else: the fear of having your projects or ideas rejected or even the fear of being rejected from your friend group, to name but a few. I cannot tell you how many times I passed up the opportunity because I always thought there were better applicants out there, and for this reason, I missed out on so many opportunities to grow.Even nowadays, when I get a rejection letter from a scholarship application, I have the same immediate reaction, no matter how many rejections I’ve gone through. But the aftermath(创伤) does get easier Every time I am rejected, I am able to bounce back and hand in another application more quickly. Along the journey of rejections, I realize that I am not incompetent, but that everyone else maybe more capable. And that is okay.This fear will never truly go away. I’m still terrified to write and publish my articles. But it is thrilling to know that I write what I want to say, explore my mind and learn more about myself. Uncertainty is scary, but without experiencing the scariness, we would never grow, would we?24. What can we know about the author’s applying for the college?A. He knew he could perform it well.B. He stepped out of his comfort zone.C. He was unwilling to make a change.D. He couldn’t write application letters25. What caused the author to give up so many chances to grow?A. His discontent at the chances.B. His inner uncertainty about himself.C. His poor ability to take up the task.D. His previous experiences of being rejected.26. How does the author respond to being rejected nowadays?A. He struggles with self-doubt.B. He doesn’t feel scared any longer.C. He makes faster adjustments.D. He feels disappointed and desperate.27. Which can be the best title for the text?A. Relieve yourself of fear.B. Brave the fear of rejection.C. Reject saying no to yourself.D. Seize the opportunity to grow.CFor 32 years, Brenda Richardson has provided nutrition(营养) services to a diverse group of people aged 50 and older.

An education newspaper.DIf you’ve ever cooked a complex meal with someone, you know the level of cooperation required. American researchers recently showed that in a virtual kitchen, artificial intelligence (AI) learned how to cooperate with ahuman just by watching humans work together.There are some ways researchers have already trained AI to work with people. Many approaches involve reinforcement learning, where an AI interacts with an environment online-which can include other AIs or humans—and is rewarded for making decisions that lead to desired outcomes. Google Deep Mind’s program Alpha Go, for example, learned the board game Go using reinforcement learning.But starting training an AI from zero to interact with people through complete trial and error can waste a lot of time and can be risky. Another choice is to train one AI to model human behavior, and then use that as a tireless human replacement for another AI to learn to interact with. Researchers have used this method in a simple game. But repeating human behavior in more complex settings can be difficult.Thus in the study, researchers used offline reinforcement learning—a method for developing strategies by analyzing recorded behavior rather than through real-time interaction. Previously, offline reinforcement learning had been used mostly to help virtual robots move or to help AIs solve mazes (迷宫), but here it was applied to the tricky problem of working with humans. Instead of learning by interacting with people, this A I learned by watching human interactions.“The research work introduces away for AI to learn to team up with humans, without even practicing with us. It could help improve human-AI interactions.” says Nikolaidis, director of a lab.In the future, humans will increasingly work with AI, both online and in the physical world. Sometimes we’ll want an AI to silently guide our choices and strategies, like a good teammate who knows our weaknesses. “It solves an important problem how AI can learn to work with people,” says Nikolaidis.32. What is the function of reinforcement learning in the passage?A. It’s how AI learned to work with peopleB. It’s how researchers helped AI learn cooking.C. It’s how Google Deep Mind developed AlphaGo.D. It’s how AI got rewards for making correct choices.33. What is the advantage of offline reinforcement learning?A. It relies on real-time interaction.B. It helps AI learn by interacting with people.C. It takes less time and has less danger.D. It is realized through mistakes and corrections.34. What is AI expected to do in the future?A. To cook a complex meal on its own.B. To point out our weaknesses directly.C. To offer voiceless guidance sometimes.D. To solve difficult problems for humans.35. What is the text mainly about?A. AI learns cooperation by practising.B.AI learns cooking from humans.C. AI learns cooking without humans’ help.D.AI learns teamwork by watching humans.第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

Then I remembered a movie I’d seen with my son. I wanted him to understand that disabled people are likeanyone else—their feelings can be hurt, too.“David, rem ember the movie Mask about the boy with the facial deformity畸形?”“Yes, Mom.

I saw he was able to continue todo almost anything a see ing person could do.”To test the concept, Dillon took the first 3D print to the Blind Institute of Finland, “They were very excited to touch the Mona Lisa!”says Dillon. In a video for the project, one can see ablind woman experiencing da Vinci’s masterpiece through touch. Justlike countless others throughout history, she is interested in Mona Lisa’s mysterious expression.“It’s a little bit…mysterious,” she says happily. “She wasn’t exactly a classicalbeauty!”28.

Deforestation speeds up climate change, which is worsening droughts in the Horn of Africa, including Kenya, where rains have failed for five seasons in a row. So the government has set aside more than $ 80 million this year, managing to augment tree coverage to more than 10%.“It is a moment for Kenyans to stand together in the defense of our environment,” said Soipan Tuya, the Environment Minister. He referred to the day as “a ‘hummingbird(s)’ contribution day”. Hummingbirds are small birds, but they play an important part in the environment by pollinating(授粉)flowers.He added, “H aving been planting trees for most of my life, I thought I was doing ratherwell, but the government’s plan to plant 15 billion trees by 2032 was ‘an unprecedented(史无前例的)show of promise by the government towards our climate action duties.’”8．What is the purpose of the public holiday?A．To increase economic income.

D．It is time to protect hummingbirds. 11．What is the best title for the text?A．Kenya Is Taking Action to Protect WildlifeB．Kenya Is in Face of Environmental ProblemsC．Kenya Improves Relationships with Their NeighborsD．Kenya Surprises the Public with a Holiday to Plant TreesDAre you a fan of birds? If so, you may have admired their beautiful colors and sweet songs. But do you know these feathered friends can actually do more than that?A new study published in the journal Scientific Reports finds that exposure to birds, either in the home or outdoors, can boost people’s moods.Researchers at King’s College London used a smartphone app built by the school’s Urban Mind project to collect the real-time feelings of study participants upon seeing or hearing a bird. A total of 1,292 people living in the United Kingdom, Europe, and the United States participated in the study which was conducted between April 2018 and October 2021.The app asked participants three times a day whether they could see or hear a bird followed by a series of questions on their mental well-being. Participants were also asked questions about whether they could see trees, plants or hear any water to see if people were experiencing better mental well-being due to being in or seeing nature, and not just because of exposure to birds.According to the study, the mental well-being of study participants with and without depression was significantly improved after seeing a bird or hearing birdsong compared to not seeing or hearing a bird.There is a growing number of studies that link spending time outdoors (either in green leafy places or next to bodies of water) to improved mental health. But there are few studies that look at how different aspects of nature can play into humans’ me ntal well-being.And while the study adds to the small pile of research on birds and mental health, the report marks the first time researchers have studied the responses to birds and mental well-being in real-time, according to Ryan Hammoud, lead author of the study.“They kind of examine nature as a single object when nature includes many different characteristics and features like trees, plants, water, birds,” said Hammoud, “We choose to focus on bird life to try and understand which specific characteristics of nature benefit mental well-being.”12．What is the purpose of paragraph 1?A．To introduce a phenomenon. B．To bring in the topic.C．To ask an interesting question. D．To provide background information. 13．How did the researchers conduct the study?A．By analyzing previous studies. B．By observing the behavior of birds.C．By gathering feelings of participants. D．By studying people’s effect on birds. 14．What does Hammoud think of the new study?A．Pioneering. B．Interesting. C．Conventional. D．Practical. 15．What is the main idea of the text?A．Bird watching has become a popular hobby.B．Exposure to birds can improve mental well-being.C．Nature is the best medicine for mental health issues.D．Spending time outdoors can impact mental health positively.第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余选项。

D．Mealtime dessert."I feel unlikable, lonely and hopeless," said Lisa, a bright teenager from a loving home. "It seems that nobody wants to become my friend. What's wrong with me?"Like Lisa, many of us experience loneliness. The truth is that all people, nomatter what their age or character—even the most outgoing, wealthy and popular —experience loneliness at least sometimes. It's healthy and natural to want to be around people who care. After all, we've all heard "No man is an island." That's true. We all need others in our lives.Solomon, the wisest man who ever lived, explains that if we want friends, we must be friendly and reach out to others. But it has risk. Because we are often afraid of rejection(拒绝), many of us are unwilling to reach out to others. We take a safer way and wait for others to make friends with us. But if we want friends, we've got to get beyond this.If making friends is your goal as well, you need to consider taking some measures(措施).Be willing to take the initiative(主动权). If you see someone whom you would like to know, don't wait for her to make the first move. Get close to her and begin a conversation. Let her know in a non-aggressive(无攻击性的)way that you are interested in being friends with her.Reach out to those who are lonely. When you see someone at school sitting alone, go over and talk to her. And don't let popularity decide whom you reach out to. You'll often be surprised at the beautiful qualities behind a shy appearance.Ask questions. Start your first conversation by asking this possible friend what she likes to do or asking about her family. Be sure to ask questions that cannot be replied with "yes" or "no". For example, don't ask "Do you have a dog?" Instead, say "So, tell me about your pets." Avoiding asking "yes" or "no" questions makes your possible friend not end your communication with a one-word answer. 34．Why does the author begin the text with Lisa's worry'?A．To set a sad tone.B．To introduce the topic.C．To share Lisa's pain.D．To teach readers a lesson.35．What can be a risk caused by reaching out to others according to the passage? A．Being refused by others.B．Putting ourselves in danger.C．Being treated in a rude way.D．Losing interest in communicating.36．What can we know from Paragraph 5?A．Popular people are often easy-going.B．Just waiting for chances will help you make friends.C．A proper manner is important in making friends.D．Shy people are hard to talk to.37．Why does the author suggest not asking "yes" or "no" questions?A．It is considered unfriendly.B．It will leave a bad first impression.C．It shows the poor quality of the speaker.D．It isn't good for keeping a conversation going.Food serves as a form of communication in two fundamental ways. Sharing bread or other foods is a common human tradition that can promote unity and trust. Food can also have a specific meaning, and play a significant role in a family or culture's celebrations or traditions. The foods we eat—and when and how we eat them—are often unique to a particular culture or may even differ between rural (农村的) and urban areas within one country.Sharing bread, whether during a special occasion (时刻) or at the family dinner table, is a common symbol of togetherness. Many cultures also celebrate birthdays and marriages with cakes that are cut and shared among the guests. Early forms of cake were simply a kind of bread, so this tradition hits its roots in the custom of sharing bread.Food also plays an important role in many New Year celebrations. In the southern United States, pieces of corn bread represent blocks of gold for prosperity (兴旺) in the New Year. In Greece, people share a special cake called vasilopita. A coin is put into the cake, which signifies (预示) success in the New Year for the person who receives it.Many cultures have ceremonies to celebrate the birth of a child, and food can play a significant role. In China, when a baby is one month old, families name and welcome their child in a celebration that includes giving red-colored eggs to guests. In many cultures, round foods such as grapes, bread, and moon cakes are eaten at welcome celebrations to represent family unity.Nutrition is necessary for life, so it is not surprising that food is such an important part of different cultures around the world.38．According to the passage, sharing bread______.A．indicates a lack of foodB．can help to develop unityC．is a custom unique to rural areasD．has its roots in birthday celebrations39．What does the coin in vasilopita signify for its receiver in the New Year? A．Trust. B．Success.C．Health. D．Togetherness.40．The author explains the role of food in celebrations by______.A．using examples B．making comparisonsC．analyzing causes D．describing processes41．What is the passage mainly about?A．The custom of sharing food.B．The specific meaning of food.C．The role of food in ceremonies.D．The importance of food in culture.Make stew and dumplingsThis hearty dish is your perfect winter holiday warmer.What you need● The original materials:1 onion,2 carrots, 1 parsnip, 1 celery stick, 1 small swede, 1tbsp olive oil, 175g pearl barley,1 litre vegetable stock, 1 handful of herbs (thyme and rosemary), 150g self-raising flour, 75g vegetable suet, 1tsp salt, water.● Tools:Chopping board, knife, casserole dish, wooden spoon, large bowl.Instructions1. Cut the vegetables into small pieces(about 2cm). You may need to ask a grown-up for help.2. Heat the olive oil in the casserole dish and brown the onions for a few minutes. Pop in the rest of the vegetables and the pearl barley. Stir for a minute or two before adding your herbs and stock. Then cover the pan with a lid. Leave to simmer on a low heat for 45 minutes.3. Meanwhile, make your dumplings. Combine self-raising flour, suet and salt in a bowl. Slowly add water until your mixture forms a dough(生面团).4. Using your hands, mix it all together. Divide the dough into 10 balls and pop them on top of your stew 20 minutes before the end.5. You're done when the vegetables and pearl barley have softened and your dumplings have expanded.How does it work?To make the perfect, fluffy dumplings, you need suet. Traditionally, suet is made from the fat that surrounds the kidneys of animals, such as cows or sheep. However, you can also get vegetarian suet, which is made out of vegetable oils. As the suet melts, it traps air bubbles from the self-raising flour, causing the dumplings to puff up(膨胀). For a fat, suet has quite a high melting point, which means it stays solid longer and melts later in the cooking process, making light and fluffy dumplings. Try not to overwork the dough, because warmth from your hands can melt the fat.42．Who is the passage mainly intended for?A．A grown-up B．A housewife C．A kid D．A cook43．What is the right time for putting the dumplings on top of your stew?A．At the beginning. B．At the end of the process.C．In the middle. D．20 minutes before the end.44．What is the most essential for making the wonderful and light dumplings? A．Vegetarian suet B．SaltC．Fish D．Warmth from the hand四、七选五We are all victims of climate change. Fighting with climate change can feel stressed, but there are a lot of things you can do to protect yourself and your loved ones.

This is especially important if you live inan area where flooding, hurricanes, or wildfires break out easily. Your family needto be safe. 46●Eat less meat, and take more vitamins.

The park itself covers an area of around 2,850 square kilometers, making it the sixth largest park of its kind in the country. I recently visited Tarangire to see what it was like….One of the first sightings upon entering the park which I found was a huge herd（群）of elephants. Our guide told us that Tagrangire was probably the best place in Tanzania to find large herds of elephants, and that their population in the park was around 2,500. We continued to watch the elephants as they stood under trees and scratched themselves against the trees to hit the spot of an itch（痒处）.To the right of the elephant herd, we noticed a big tree! Our guide informed us that this was a Baobab tree and that they could live for hundreds of years. Compared with this tree, the elephant just looked like dwarfs（侏儒）! We were informed that Tarangire was one of the best National Parks in Africa to see so many Baobab trees.As we continued our drive through the park, we finally reached a watering hole. Our guide warned us that there were lions all around us. It took us all a while to find them, but there they were! Most of them are resting in the shade under brushes, but there was one that was drinking from the watering hole directly in front of us. We then noticed just to our right, therewere a couple of fresh zebra corpses（尸体）— it seemed as if the lions which were resting had killed them! We were unlucky not to have seen the actual kill, as our guide had mentioned that the zebra corpses were fresh and the kill had occurred within the last hour.Our final big sighting was one that none of us were expecting to see, even our guide! We pulled over to where there was a large gathering of cars, with a sleeping leopard（美洲豹）there! We took photos happily and excitedly and observed its surprising body before returning to our hotel as it was getting late.So, I hope you enjoyed my description of Tarangire, and that I have inspired you to add this amazing park to your very own Tanzania travel route.56. How did the writer travel in Tanzania Tarangire?A. By carB. On horsebackC. On footD. By bicycle57. Which statement is correct about the park?A. It covers an area of about 2,580 square kilometersB. There are a lot of Baobab trees in it.C. It is the largest park of its kind in the countryD. Their population in the park was around 2,00058. What does the writer think of his trip in Tanzania Tarangire?A. BoringB. ChallengingC. DangerousD. Enjoyable59. What did they see when they stopped with some other cars?A. A large herd of elephantsB. Some lionsC. Some zebrasD.A leopard60. What may this passage be probably taken from?A. A dairy entryB. A travel guideC. An advertisementD. A travel agencyBSome students get so nervous before an exam that they do poorly even if they know the material. Sian Beilock, a psychology professor at the University of Chicago, has studied these highly anxious exam-takers.“They start worrying about the results. They might even start worrying about whether this exam is going to prevent them from getting into the college they want. And when we worry, it actually uses up attention and memory resources that you could otherwise be using to focus on the exam,” says Sian Beilock.The researchers tested the idea on a group of 20 anxious college students. They gave them two short math exams. After the first one, they asked the students to either sit quietly or write about their feelings about the coming second exam.The researchers added to the pressure. They told the students that those who did well on the second exam would get money. They also told them that their performance would affect other students as part of a team effort.Professor Beilock says those who sat quietly scored an average of 20% worse on the second exam. But the students who had written about their fears improved their performance by an average of 5%.Next, the researchers used younger students in a biology class. They told them before final exams either to write about their feelings or to think about things unrelated to the exam.Professor Beilock says highly anxious students who wrote about their feelings got an average grade of B+, compared with a B－for those who did not.But what can they do if students do not have a chance to write about their fears immediately before an exam orpresentation? Professor Beilock says students can try it themselves at home or in the library and they can still improve their performance.61. In which paragraph does the author introduce the background(背景) of his study?A. In the first paragraph.B. In the second paragraph.C. In the third paragraphD. In the last paragraph.62. According to Sian Beilock, if you want to succeed in an exam you should ______.A. be as serious as you can about the exam.B. focus your attention on the exam.C. set clear study goals and keep themD. make a careful preparation for the exam63. We can infer from the study that students who sit quietly before the exam ______.A. are more likely to get better exam results.B. have a positive attitude towards exam results.C. worry more about the exam in their mind.D. have a strong will to be successful in the exam.64. The underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refers to “______”.A. looking for a chanceB. preparing for the examC. writing about the feelingsD. taking the exam65. If a student writes about his feelings before an exam, he ______.A. will improve his exam resultB. can keep a good memory of the examC. will get support from his teachersD. will forget what he has prepared for the examC66. Why does the author mention Bell and Edison at the beginning of the text?A. To remember both of them.B. To prove their wisdom.C. To introduce the topic of the text.D. To explain their relationships.67. Philo Farnsworth got the idea for TV from ______.A. the radioB. science booksC. potato fieldsD. a machine68. According to the text, how old was Philo when he finished his invention of TV?A. 27 years old.B. 21 years old.C. 33 years oldD. 39 years old69.

Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage. Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.CPR is cardiopulmonary resuscitation (心肺复苏). It forces air into the lungs and pumps(用泵抽) blood and oxygen to the brain in order to increase the chances that a person whose heart stopswill survive. It increases the chances that he or she will suffer little or no brain damage.The American Heart Association suggests two ways to perform CPR. One combines the use of hands to pump the victim’s chest（胸腔）with rescue breathing. The other method is called “Hands-Only CPR”, which is for people who are unwilling or unable to perform rescue breathing. Some people fear infection(感染). Others say they are afraid of making the patient worse.But the American Heart Association strongly asks people in contact with a victim(受害者) to take action and tells how to take it. It says you can recognize a person needing CPR. He or she is unconscious(无意识) -- unable to communicate or react to surroundings or speech. His or her skin has lost color. The person is not breathing. If such conditions describe the situation, chances are the heart has stopped beating.You should act by calling for help, or sending someone else. Even if you cannot do mouth-to-mouth rescue breathing, you can perform Hands-Only CPR. You can do chest compressions(压迫) that help to keep blood flowing to the brain and the heart. To perform the compressions, place one hand over the other and press firmly on the center of the victim’s chest. Push down about five centimeters. Aim for one hundred compressions each minute.Doctor Sayre suggests that medical workers do both the breathing method and chest compressions as usual. He says some victims, including babies, need the mouth-to-mouth breathing with the compressions. Still, the doctor says it is better to do just chest compressions than to do nothing.Title: CPR71____________To increase the chances of survivalTypes of CPR•The use of hands to pump the victim’s chest with 72. ____________.•73. ________________.Who to perform “Hands-Only C PR”People ---• unwilling or unable to perform CPR•74. ____________• afraid of making the patient worseWho to receive CPRPeople ---• 75. ____________• 76._____________ or react to surroundings or speech• pale in pale• unable to breathe77. _________ CPR• Place one hand on the other• Press firmly on the center of 78. _________•79. ____________ about 5 centimeters• Perform 100 compressions each minuteDr. Sayre’s suggestions•In usual cases:the breathing method and chest compressions.•In some cases (babies related):80. ____________.Section B（10 marks）Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage and required words limit.March 22nd every year has been the World Water Day since 1993. Everyone knows that over 70% of our planet is covered with water, but do you know that only 3% of the water is fresh and less than 1% of this fresh water is available for human use?Water shortageThe World Bank reports that 80 countries now have water shortages, while 40% of the more than 2 billion people, have no access to clean water. Fresh water is such a life-or-death issue(问题) in many parts of the world that every eight seconds a child dies from drinking dirty water.How to save waterTurn off the tap while you brush you teeth in the morning and before bedtime, and you can save up to 8 gallons of water! That adds up to more than 200 gallons a month, enough to fill a huge fish tank that holds 6 small sharks!Keep your shower under 5 minutes long. In fact, a 5-minute shower uses more water than a person living in poverty in a developing country uses in an entire day.Fix the leak. If your toilet has a leak, you could be wasting about 200 gallons of water every day. That would be like flushing your toilet more than 50 times for no reason!We each share responsibility for the sustainable management(可持续管理) of our water resources, which means using less water at home, in the workplace, at school, on holidays, on the farm,… everyone, everywhere, ev ery time.81.

Disappointed with the colors of traditional Russian art, he loved to paint with strong blues, reds and yellows.So in 1911, he moved to Paris, France, where artists from around the world were creating novel art forms and he acquired fresh ways of painting eagerly. He stayed true to his childhood memories. While others chose modern subjects, he painted scenes of fantasy based on an older, farmer-like way of life. Blue dogs, yellow skies and red trees were all creations of his imagination.Chagall went through two world wars and personal sufferings. In 1941, because his family were Jewish, the Chagalls had to leave France to escape the Nazis during World War Ⅱ. In 1944 came another blow. Chagall’s beloved wife Bella died of an illness. Despi te the hardships, his passion for painting never faded. In the 1950s, he returned to France and continued to make his dreamlike paintings.One day, during a walk in a village, he discovered a 700-year-old church (教堂), where he saw a stained-glass (彩色玻璃) window that contained a green horse. It looked as if Chagall might have created it himself. Here was a sure sign, he thought, that he should create his own stained-glass windows.Then Chagall devoted all his energy and time to the work. As we know, many stained-glass windows are made of flat colors, but Chagall used various techniques to create the effects he wanted. He made flexible use of bright colors, putting light into the works. He painted images on glass, then had them fired to high temperatures, making the lines and colors part of the glass.Chagall created the stained-glass windows for churches and other buildings around the world until his death in 1985. He gave them as gifts to the world and often refused payment. Today, people are still amazed at how his stained-glass creations shine and change with the sun.4．Why did Chagall choose to go to Paris?A. To learn new painting skills.B.

The reason is that sharks are cold-blooded and their body temperature matches the waters they swim in. To do deepRoyer, a leading researcher at the University of Hawaii, set out to study the diving habits of hammerheads sharks. They’re known for swimming in warmer coastal waters, but earlier studies showed they can also dive to over 800 meters below the surface. At those cold depths, the water temperature falls to as low as 5℃.For these sharks, the fall in temperature is a matter of life and death. Because a shark can’t produce its own body heat, it begins to freeze the deeper it goes. Its muscles, eyes and brain become sluggish (迟钝). If it gets too cold, it can’t swim. And if it stops swi mming, water doesn’t go across its gills. It can’t breathe and will eventually drown (溺亡).How is it that hammerheads are able to go down into these deep depths and survive? To find out, Royer and his colleagues caught the fish and attached an electronic sensor to each shark. The sensor would release itself from the shark’s body after several weeks. The data they found amazed them: The sharks dived, spent just a few minutes at depths and then they shot towards the surface. They closed their gills and kept water out of their gills so that their body wouldn’t cool down.“Unlike animals with lungs, the sharks don’t return to the surface to breathe. Instead, they simply go to a depth where it’s warm enough for them to feel comfortable and reopen their gills. Hammerheads are probably not the only species doing so. Our work is another example of how new electronic sensors help to explain the extraordinary ability of these animals across 400 million years of changing ocean environments,” Royer said.8．What does the new research focus on concerning the sharks?A. Their hunting habits.B. Their basic types.C. Their special behaviors.D. Their body structures.9．What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 1 refer to?A. Keeping body heat.B. Holding their breath.C. Swimming on the surface.D. Diving deep in the sea.10．What does paragraph 3 mainly tell us about hammerheads sharks?A. How their gills work in the sea.B. How the temperature drop affects them.C. Why they can survive the terrible environment.D. Why they can protect themselves from the cold.11．What can we know from Royer’s words?A. Hammerheads depend on their lungs to breathe.B. The diving strategy may not be unique to hammerheads.C. It’s hard for hammerheads to adapt to the cold conditions.D. It’s common for hammerheads to stay long at great depths.Scientists have created a new tool that can turn people’s thoughts into words. It works by using an Artificial Intelligence (AI) program to translate brain activity into words. The scientists say the program could help people who cannot speak because of damage to the brain.Alexander Huth, a team leader of the scientists, says, “We’re engaged in the study and are looking forward to the benefits the study can bring to people.”The study involves two main parts. The first is a scanner (扫描仪) that allows the scientists to record brain activity. The second is an AI system that the researchers train to turn videos of brain activity into words.To record brain activity without surgery (外科手术), Alexander and his team used a big machine called FMRI, which uses strong radio waves to create pictures showing which parts of the brain are active. FMRI can record the activity of the brain as it happens. To translate these recordings into words, they used an AI tool ca lled “GPT-1”. It guesses which word is most likely to come next, based on the facts and details that came before.The researchers first trained GPT-1 on lots of stories people had told about their lives. Next, they trained it to make connections between brain scans and spoken words. Then a test was done on three human volunteers to see whether the AI tool really worked. Each person spent sixteen hours in FMRI listening to stories. The people imagined the stories as they heard them, and FMRI recorded their brain activity. GPT-1 then used these recordings ofbrain activity to make connections between the words and ideas in the stories and the brain activity of the listeners.Alexander found the words GPT-1 guessed were very similar to the words in the storyth at the people were listening to. Although the words weren’t exactly the same, they often carried the same meaning.Alexander says that GPT-I is the first AI program to tum what people are thinking into words without brain surgery. The program isn’t somethi ng that can be easily used today, mainly because of the size and cost of FMRI.12．Who is the AI program targeted at?A. Health experts studying human brains.B. V olunteers performing medical service.C. Doctors in need of advanced equipment.D. Speech-disabled patients with brain injury.13．On what basis does GPT-1 translate brain activity into words?A. Previously gained information.B. Processed radio waves.C. Instructions from the scientists.D. Videos of brain surgery.14．For what purpose was the test carried out?A. To improve the function of FMRI.B. To confirm the weaknesses of the scanner.C. To check the effectiveness of the AI system.D. To measure the volunteers’ memory abilities.15．What can be the best title of the text?A. FMRI: A Powerful Device to Cure Brain Illness.B. FMRI Has Been Used and Won Public Recognition.C. Scientists Are Training AI to Read Human Thoughts.D. Alexander: An Expert Devoted to Developing AI Language.二、七选五16．Turn FOMO into JOMOIt’s weekend.
