She was born around 1887. As a young woman, Maria was known for fine pots she made. Maria and the other village women made pots for their families. They also sold pots to visitors. Compared to the pots made by the other women, young Maria’s were lovelier. But they were not outstanding. They were not the pots that would make the name Maria Martinez known around the world.In 1908, some archaeologists came to Maria’s village. They finally found broken bits of pottery. The pots had belonged to a group of Native Americans who had lived there seven hundred years before. These finds changed Maria’s life.One of the archaeologists showed Maria the pieces of broken pots. They were thinner than the pots Maria was making. They had an odd, shiny black finish (抛光) . He asked Maria if she could make such a pot. Maria said she would try.Maria’s husband, Julian, helped her. First they had to find a way to make the wall of the pot thinner. Maria knew that the clay (黏土; 陶土) she was using would not work. A thin pot made out of that clay would crack (破裂) when it was fired. Maria ‘mixed differe nt amounts of clay, sand, and. water. At last, she discovered a mix that would not crack.Maria and Julian then had to find out how the shiny black finish had been made. They discovered that it took two steps. First, Maria began by polishing the dried clay surface of the pot. She used a smooth stone as her polishing tool. It was slow work. Then, when the pot was polished, she placed it in a fire that was built in a certain way. The fire and ashes worked their magic on the pot. Its finish was now shiny and black.Maria and Julian had discovered the secrets of the early pottery makers. Then Maria produced many pots. Under Maria’s direction, her son and grandson are keeping the old ways alive just as Maria had done before them.4. What can we learn about Mara from paragraph 2?A．She donated her pots to museums. B．She was good at making lovely pots.C．She was a world-famous pottery maker. D．She taught other women villagers tomake pots.5. When did the turning point of Maria’s life come?A．When her husband helped her. B．When she met an archaeologist.C．When a new mix was discovered. D．When broken pottery bits were found.6. Which was the last step Maria took to create a new shiny pot?A．Polishing the dried surface. B．Gluing the broken pieces.C．Placing the pot into the fire. D．Mixing clay and other materials.7. Why is Maria known around the world?A．She discovered a special clay mixture. B．She spent a lifetime making many pots.C．She passed down the way of making pots. D．She could make pots with a shiny black finish.Sending a thumbs-up can be seen as passive aggressive(冒犯的), according to Gen Z (those born between 1995 and 2009) who say they feel attacked whenever it is used. Whether the chat is informal, between friends or at work the symbol appears to have a very different, ‘rude’ meaning for the younger generation.A 24-year-old on Reddit summed up the Gen Z argument, saying it is best ‘never used in any situation’ as it is ‘hurtful’. “No one of my age in the office does it, but the Gen X (those born between 1966 and 1980) people always do it. Take me a bit to adjust and get it out of my head that it means they’re mad-at me,” he added. Other young people agreed it is bad form, especially at work where it can make the team appear unfriendly and not easygoing.“My last workplace had a WhatsApp chat for our team to send information to each other on, and most of the people on there just replied with a thumbs up. I don’t know why but it seemed a little bit hostile to me,” one woman said. One Reddit user also said the thumbs up actually means that “I’ve read your message and have nothing to add and I hope and pray...all the people in this group chat have nothing to say on it too.”Older workers appear confused by the reaction, saying they use the thumbs up in work-related chats to show “I agree” or “I understood and will follow.”Part of the issue is that young people tend to use the thumbs-up in jokes. Barry Kennedy, 24, he said he only used it to communicate with older people like his parents or older colleagues. A survey of 2, 000 people conducted by Perspectus Global showed that a majority of people between the ages of 16 and 29 believe that you are “officially old” if you use thumbs-up or heart emoji.8. Which of the following point is not the Gen Z’s under standing of the emoji thumbs-up?A．Being rude. B．Being agreeable.C．Being hurtful. D．Being unfriendly.9. What does the underlined word “hostile” mean in paragraph 3?A．Unfriendly and aggressive. B．Tough and difficult.C．Unwanted and unacceptable. D．Strange and unusual.10. Why can’t older workers understand the young’s reaction to the thumbs-up emoji?A．Because of their poor communications kill.B．Because of their being old with worse memory.C．Because of their less communicating with the young.D．Because of their different understanding of the emoji.11. Which is the most suitable title for the text?A．The Thumbs-up Emoji: Rejected by the younger generationB．The Thumbs-up Emoji: Highly Welcomed by Old PeopleC．The Thumbs-up Emoji: A Sign of Generation GapD．The Thumbs-up Emoji: A Sign of Being AggressiveFaced with changing product prices and pressure to be more efficient and environmentally friendly, farmer Jumie Butler is trying out a new worker on his 450-acre farm in England’s Hampshire countryside.Carefully inspecting Butler’s winter crops for weeds (杂草) and pests, the laborer doesn’t complain or even sweat. That’s because it’s a four-wheeled robot named “Tom” that uses GPS, artificial intelligence (AI) and smartphone technology to digitally map the field.Tom’s creator is the Small Robot Company. It works to transform production in an industry that is under economic stress. due to market pressures to keep. food. cheap, a rising global population and the uncertainties of climate change. Most robots are still only being tested, but they give an idea how automation (自动化) will spread into rural areas.“If we can keep our costs to an absolute minimum by being on the leading edge of technologies as one method of doing that, then th at’s a really, really good thing,” said Butler, one of the 20 British farmers that are enlisted in a year-long trial.This year, the economy will start trials for two more robots, Dick and Harry. Dick will deliver fertilizer directly to soil around roots, instead of wasteful spraying (喷洒). Harry will put seeds into the earth at the same depth and spacing.The aim is to cut down a great deal on fertilizer and pesticide (杀虫剂) use to lower costs and increase profits for struggling farmers. As such, it not only helps economically, but it also lowers the environmental effect of farming.“What we’re doing is something that people can’t do,” said Ben Scott-Robinson, co-founder of the Small Robot Company. “It’s not physically possible for a farmer to go round and check each individual plant and then treat that plant individually. That’s only possible when you have something as tireless as a robot and as focused and accurate as AI to be able to achieve that.”12. What does the robot Tom do on Jamie Butler’s farm?A．It puts seeds into the earth. B．It makes a map of the field digitally.C．It delivers fertilizer to soil around roots. D．It tells the difference between wheat andweeds.13. The underlined word “enlisted” in the fourth paragraph can possibly be replaced by “________”.A．focused B．interested C．investing D．participating 14. What is Ben Scott-Robinson’s attitude towards the use of robots in farming?A．Skeptical. B．Favorable. C．Cautious. D．Disapproving. 15. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the text?A．The exact appearance of the robot Tom. B．The work of the Small Robot Company.C．The advantages of using robots in farming D．The reasons for increasing automation in farming.With the rapid development of science and technology, we don’t know how different our life will be in the future. 16 .At first we think about human relationships. In the year 2050, we will use computers almost every day. We will be making new friends through the Internet — even our husbands or wives will be met in this way. 17 . On the other hand, our relationship with people won’t be as important as they are today — we will feel a little lonely.Computers will also help us in many other activities in 2050. For example, they will be used by the children at school to make their learning easier. In addition, there will be much more other machines which will play a similar role as computers, like robots which will do the housework for us.18 . Traveling to other planets or to the moon will also be available for everyone. Means of transport will, of course, change, too. We will be using solar-powered cars, which will be much more environmentally friendly.We could expect that the faster technological progress would lead to a more polluted environment. But it isn’t true. 19 . And, scientists will probably find cures for many dangerous diseases, like cancer or AIDS. Therefore, our surroundings as well as health will be in a better condition.Alt hough we can’t predict the exact changes which will be made in the world, we often think about them. We worry about our and our children’s future; we have expectations, hopes as well as fears. But I think we should be rather confident about our future. 20 .Three-month-old Tony Hudgell had both legs cut off due to the neglect from his parents and was deserted by them.Luckily, he was_________by a loving lady, Paula Hudgell. He received both his _________legs in February, 2020.

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.

Mr. Setiadi runs his own business, importing machinery from Europe and selling it all over the country. He employs over three hundred people and lives in a very large house in Jakarta, the capital city. However, as he will tell you, he had to travel down a long, hard road to get to where he is today.“I built this business up from nothing through my own hard work,” said Darno. “I come from a poor family and have thirteen brothers and sisters. My dad died when I was fourteen and I had to go out to work to try to support the rest of my family. To begin with, I sold ice cream in the street; then I got a job selling cloth door-to-door. After that, I started traveling all over the island selling things to people and slowly I started getting ideas about what kind of products the different markets wanted.“When I was twenty-one, I left my wife and two children at home and moved to Jakarta to set up my own business, selling all kinds of machines, particularly propellers (螺旋桨) for boats. There are over thirteen thousand islands in Indonesia, so there’s a huge market for that kind of thing. Business was increasing and I could finally afford to bring my family over to join me.“The only real problem I have now is who’s going to take control of the business when I retire. I’d like my son to run it, but he’s not really strong enough to do it! I think perhaps his childhood was too easy, and that has made him a bit too soft to do work like this!”24. What does Darno sell now?A. Cloth.B. Boats.C. Machines.D. Ice cream.25. When Darno was in his early teens, he ______.A. helped with his family businessB. struggled to raise a big familyC. left his family to do businessD. traveled all over the world26.

Which of the following words can best describe Darno?A. Kind-hearted and easy-going.B. Sharp-eyed and hard-working.C. Open-minded and self-centredD. Well-educated and self-confident.CNext time you hear a funny joke you’d better not laugh too hard. According to a paper published by the British Medical Journal, laughter isn’t always the best medicine. Sometimes it can even be harmful. Professor Robin Ferner from the University of Birmingham, one of the authors of the study, found that bad things could happen to people who laughed too much. He says: “We found people with heartbeat problems which had stopped their heart, we found people who had fainted(昏倒), and we found people who’d dislocated their jaws or burst their lungs.”It seems that laughing can be no laughing matter. But it’s not all doom and gloom. Professor Ferner says there are benefits to laughing when you want to lose weight, for example. Yes, that’s right: laugh and be slimmer! Professor Ferner explains that: “You use energy when you laugh, you move your diaphragm(横膈膜), you expand your lungs, and both those things can be helpful.”According to the research, laughing for a quarter of an hour can burn up to 40 calories, and if you laughed all day you’d use up about 2,000 calories, which is what most people consume in a day. But don’t do that or you might end up with a painful jaw. Ouch! Or you might find people looking at you in a funny way.But I don’t want to finish this article leaving you feeling desperate. Laughter comes naturally for most of us. Babies begin to laugh at around 3-6 months. So give in to your sense of humour and keep smiling. Life is short anyway.28. Laughing too much may cause the following harmful results EXCEPT_________.A. heart stopB. diaphragm movementC. lung burstD. jaw dislocation29. The underlined phrase “doom and gloom” in Paragraph 2 probably means_______.A. hopelessB. funnyC. painfulD. nervous30. How many calories can you use if you laugh for half a day?A. About 40.B. About 1,000.C. About 2,000.D. About 2,040.31. What is the author’s attitude towards laughing in the last parag raph?A. Uninterested.B. Disapproving.C. Worried.D. Favorable.DResearchers at Stanford University have developed a new material that can move heat out of buildings and send it into space. The researchers say the material cancool buildings even on hot days. The cooling material is a very thin sheet with many layers that could be placed on a roof like solar panels (板). However, instead of turning sunlight into energy as solar panels do, the material turns heat into radiation (辐射).Shanhui Fan is an electrical engineering professor at Stanford University. He says that the panels have a layer of material that is like sand. The panels act like a mirror. They take heat out of buildings and reflect the light from the sun. And he says both the heat a nd sunlight are sent 100 kilometers into outer space. “It’s a structure that cools itself without electricity input, even under the sun. So, what it does is to basically radiate heat to outer space and also reflect the sunlight so it doesn’t get heated up by the sun." Mr. Fan says it is like having a window into space. The heat is sent directly into space without warming the air.He says buildings in developing countries that do not have electricity or air conditioning could use the panels. “In areas where electricity is out of reach for many people, there is a potential benefit for storing medicine or even food. In many of these situations, being able to reduce the temperature is important. And this would provide a way to do it.”The researchers say the main problem is creating actual cooling systems using the high-tech panels. They say it may be possible to develop a cooling spray(喷涂) that could be used on present solid structures. They believe the cooling spray technology could be developed in the next three to five years. They say as much as 15 percent of the energy used in the United States is spent providing power to air conditioning systems.32.The first paragraph mainly tells us ________.A. living on hot days is no longer a big problem nowB. a new material is developed to cool buildingsC. researchers are developing new solar panels on roofsD. the new material is a very thin sheet with many layers33. How does the panel work?A. It takes in the heat and cools it down.B. It uses a mirror to reflect the sunlight.C. It sends heat away right into space.D. It has a window to let out the heat.34. The new material is especially useful in areas that ________.A. suffer high temperatureB. have poor air qualityC. have plenty of foodD. are short of power35. What can you infer from the passage?A. The appliance of the new panel is still under research.B. Some people got benefits from producing the panels.C. People may have problems in using the new material.D. The new panels may save 15 percent of the energy.其次节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)依据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

2023-2024学年上海市华东师范大学张江实验中学高二上学期12月月考英语试题Directions: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.Background music may seem harmless, but it can have a powerful effect on those who hear it. 1 (record) background music first found its way into factories, shops and restaurants in the U. S. But it soon 2 (spread) to other parts of the world. Now it is becoming increasingly difficult to go shopping or eat a meal without listening to music.To begin with, background music was intended simply 3 (create) a comfortable atmosphere, Nowadays, however, it’s become a big business. Dr. Ronald Milliman, an American marketing expert, has shown that music can increase sales or factory production by as much as a third.But, it has to be light music. A fast one has no effect at all 4 sales. Slow music can increase sales by 38%. This is probably 5 shoppers slow down and have more opportunities to look for the things they like to buy. Yet, slow music meant customers took longer to eat their meals, 6 reduced sales. So restaurant owners might be advised to play up-tempo music to keep the customers 7 (move). Directions:Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.A. targetB. randomC. seeminglyD. engagingE. carefullyF. awarenessG. campaignH. improveHave you ever been on social media and seen your favourite celebrity talking about a product? These endorsements (名人代言)might not be totally 8 , and are actually seen as a vital part of the marketing process. The question is: What do these endorsements actually do?Firstly, they can be used to build brand 9 . A social media influencer should have a strong understanding of the platform they operate on, and therefore can create 10 content that not only sticks to the brand image, but sparks their followers’ interests in a product they might never have seen before.Secondly, influencers can 11 a company or product’s relation ship with their customer base. According to US Retail CX Trends Report on customer loyalty, 77% of buyers have been brand loyal for more than ten years. A popular celebrity can 12 key demographics (客户群) and talk or blog about a product, which can create an instant and lasting bond with the consumer.Lastly, influencers can improve customer buying habits with 13 ‘unbiased opinions’. We are more likely to respond to ‘peer recommendation’ than traditional ads, meaning the fact we see an influencer as a ‘friend’ can make us less likely to be doubt what we are seeing.So, the next time you see a celebrity talking about a product, you might want to consider that this could be a 14 crafted marketing strategy designed to target your core needs. If you find yourself perusing a product you’ve seen on social media, you may well have been influenced.How many times have you complained about airline food being tasteless? New research suggests that, to a large degree, the reason for the “bad food” might just be a change in our ability to perceive taste.The Fraunhofer Institute, a German research organization, conducted a study on why a dish that would be perfectly ________ in a restaurant would seem unattractive while in the air. In a mock aircraft cabin, researchers tried out ingredients at both sea level and in a pressurized condition.The air inside an airplane cabin is 15 percent drier than the air that we would ________ breathe while on the ground. In an environment like this, our powers of smell begin to drift away. ________ actually starts to deteriorate the moment we step on a plane. The situation worsens once the airplane begins to climb. In this situation, our nasal cavities swell (肿胀). The swelling messes with our taste buds, making food taste less ________. You know how dining in such conditions can be like if you have ever tried to eat while you are suffering from a cold or the flu. Research has also shown that the lower temperature and air pressure inside of an airplane can make it harder to detect aroma. These airborne molecules (空中的分子), by ________ the nose’s sensory cells, play an important role in the process of tasting.________, vibrations from the air striking the hull (机身), as well as the roaring of the plane’s engines and the winds outside of i t, collectively produce a rather constant “________”, which is equivalent to city traffic. Researchers have found that loud noises ________ our ability to appreciate sweet flavors.All that being said, “bad food” can’t be blamed solely on the in-cabin conditions. Preparing and serving tasty food for passengers above the clouds is no ________ task. All meals must be cooked on the ground, which demands that the food be robust (味道浓郁的). Such ________ for mass production definitely ties down the chef’s hands.15.A．intangible B．available C．acceptable D．incredible16.A．originally B．normally C．respectively D．flexibly17.A．Scent B．Sight C．Flavor D．Breath18.A．rewarding B．amusing C．appetizing D．astonishing19.A．adjusting B．stimulating C．evaluating D．consuming20.A．However B．Therefore C．Instead D．Moreover21.A．movement B．noise C．strike D．problem22.A．spread out B．hold back C．take away D．pull over23.A．complex B．crucial C．easy D．ethical24.A．requirement B．argument C．improvement D．treatment Chemists in mid-1500s Nuremburg had discovered that bird droppings were a rich source of saltpetre, a vital ingredient in the making of gunpowder. As a consequence pigeon droppings used to be almost as valuable as silver. Understandably, by the middle of the following century, there were an estimated 26,000 pigeon houses in Britain.The practice of keeping the pigeon was introduced to Britain by the Romans. The Normans kept pigeons in specially constructed niches in castles and courtyards. When the pigeon houses in Britain were built, they were a vital source of meat and feathers. The latter were particularly prized as a source of warmth. Droppings gathered from the pigeon houses was a rich fertilizer, too.The pigeon house was not only a source of food and revenue in medieval times, but also a status symbol. The privilege of building or owning pigeon houses was reserved for the rich. Towards the end of her rule, Queen Elizabeth I decided to open pigeon-breeding to the free market. Then, pigeon houses sprang up all over the countryside.The number of pigeon houses across the British countryside was not universally welcomed. Each day the birds flew off to feed themselves on other people’s crops. By the middle of the 17th century, the problem of pigeons was so great that people feared that the destructive pigeons would turn England into a desert.Luckily, an agricultural revolutionary, Charles Townsend, had introduced the turnip to Britain around 1700, keeping farm livestock fat enough to eat through the dark winter months. Later, vast quantities of natural saltpetre were discovered in Chile and California. Keeping pigeons went out of fashion.Now, the homeless pigeons flew off to find somewhere else to live. One species discovered that Britain’s r apidly growing towns and cities were full of the sort of rock-faces they liked to rest on—humans called them “buildings”. Over time they’d become the wild urban pigeon that we know today.25. Which of the following people in Britain would be least likely to keep pigeons in the late Middle Ages?D．The miners.A．Fruit growers. B．The nobles. C．Gunpowdermakers.26. What can be inferred from the passage?A．Farm livestock used to be too thin for lack of food in the dark months in Britain.B．Townsend revolutionized agricultural development in Britain around 1700.C．The Normans set an undesirable example of raising pigeons for the British people.D．England was once faced with the threat of disappearance because of pigeons.27. According to the passage, why are there so many pigeons in the cities in Britain today?A．Because people think it a sign of status and keep them to show off.B．Because pigeons like to stay on hard surfaces which can be abundantly found in cities.C．Because pigeons find enough food supplies when tourists and citizens feed them insquares.D．Because the government encourages pigeon raising as a profitable investment.28. Which is the best title of the passage?A．A brief history of pigeon houses in Britain.B．From function to fashion — the pigeon houses in Britain.C．Profitable pigeon houses in Britain.D．Pigeon houses in Britain as valuable as silver.SamsungSaying that Samsung makes great tablets might sound strange to someone not too familiar with their devices, but the company has made some interesting strides with tablets. And much like their phones, Samsung has a wide variety in their products, with the very affordable Tab A7/A8, to the high-end flagship S8 ultra. So if you’re team Android as opposed to Apple, Samsung is probably the way to go.Best tablet: Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 UltraMicrosoftMicrosoft has traditionally been a major player in computing so it’s no shock that they also make well-designed and more than capable tablets — the Microsoft Surface. With the idea of the Surface tablets being a 2-in-1 device, a tablet that can functionally run like a laptop, running windows, and featuring basically the same processors that you’d find in a laptop.And with an additional keyboard, great displays and long battery life, the Surface tablets make for great machines for work or play respectively.Best tablet: Microsoft Surface Pro 8AmazonAmazon does indeed make tablets and, they’re capable too. Amazon’s Fire HD tablets are firmly in the budget tablet range but that doesn’t make them less capable. In terms of size, they range from seven up to ten inches and even include a kids’ tablet for the young ones. So if you prefer tablets over ten inches, you may be wanting to look elsewhere.But all in all, they’re a good shout for a first-time tablet buyer that isn’t looking to spend a few hundred pounds on a device, but still wants to watch videos or browse the web on the go.Best tablet: Amazon Fire HD 10 plus* This post contains affiliate links, so we may earn a small fee when you make a purchase through links on our site at no additional cost to you.29.

One answer is that in fact each sibling grows up in a different family. The firstborn is, for a while, an only child, and therefore has a completely different experience of the parents than those born later. The next child is, for a while, the youngest, until the situation is changed by a new arrival. The mother and father themselves arechanging and growing up too. One sibling might live in a stable and close family in the first few years; another might be raised in a family crisis, with a disappointed mother or an angry father.Sibling competition was identified as an important shaping force as early as in 1918. But more recently, researchers have found many ways in which brothers and sisters are a lasting force in each other’s lives. Dr. Annette Henderson says firstborn children pick up vocabulary more quickly than their siblings. The reason for this might be that the later children aren’t getting the same one-on-one time with parents. But that d oesn’t mean that the younger children have problems with language development. Later-borns don’t enjoy that much talking time with parents, but instead they harvest lessons from bigger brothers and sisters, learning entire phrases and getting an understanding of social concepts such as the difference between “I” and “me”.A Cambridge University study of 140 children found that siblings created a rich world of play that helped them grow socially. Love-hate relationships were common among the children. Even those siblings who fought the most had just as much positive communication as the other sibling pairs. One way children seek more attention from parents is by making themselves different from their siblings, particularly if they are close in age. Researchers have found that the first two children in a family are typically more different from each other than the second and third. Girls with brothers show their differences to a maximum degree by being more feminine than girls with sisters. A 2003 research paper studied adolescents from 185 families over two years, finding that those who changed to make themselves different from their siblings were successful in increasing the amount of warmth they gained form their parents.

The underlined part “in a different family” (in Para.1) means ________.A．in a different family environment B．in a different family traditionC．in different family crises D．in different families33. In terms of language development, later-borns ________.A．get their parents’ individual guidance B．learn a lot from their elder siblingsC．experience a lot of difficulties D．pick up words more quickly34. What was found about fights among siblings?A．Siblings hated fighting and loved playing. B．Siblings in some families fought frequently.C．Sibling fights led to bad sibling relationships.D．Siblings learned to get on together fromfights.The Last Straw?Every second, the world uses 160,000 plastic bags — that is a total of over five trillion per year. Up to 99 percent of these plastic bags hang around for at least 1,000 years and pollute Earth. And yet, plastic bags are hardly a necessity in our lives. Of all the changes we could make to create a more sustainable lifestyle, a total ban on plastic bags should be simple.At the beginning of 2021, Shanghai put in effect a ban on all plastic bags in shopping malls and supermarkets, as well as a ban on non-degradable plastics in many other areas. Over the years, individuals and companies have worked to replace plastic items, such as cups and straws, with paper ones. 35 .Customers complain that paper straws often become soft and break before they can finish their hot drinks. Experts, however, have repeatedly stressed plastic substitutes (替代品) are not the ultimate solution, and that our consumption habits need a bigger change.In college, one of my environmental science professors promoted a type of waste-free living. She carried around a small glass jar with her, and in it was all her trash she collected for the entire year. She was able to do this by bringing her own cup to Starbucks, her own bags to the shops, and never buying anything that came wrapped in plastic. Her food waste also became compost. 36 .Plastic bags are incredibly easy to forget about when they become increasingly common. 37 . Once they are in the trash, we take it for granted that they are someone else’s problem. The sad fact is that plastic bags break down into microplastics which then get mixed into the air, soil and water, and eventually end up in plants, animals, and our very own human bodies. So what are you going to do about them?How to Deal with Pressures at SchoolAs a high school student, if you are feeling stressed out or frustrated by teachers, classmates,or schoolwork，it is important to know that you aren't the only one． Believe it or not，everyone has these feelings at some point， and everyone should learn how to deal with them properly．First of all， you need to keep a positive attitude and not take things to heart． That someone got a better grade than you doesn't mean that they are smarter—perhaps they studied longer or knew the material more． It's easy to become frustrated if you are not doing as well as your friends， but being optimistic will help you deal with future similar situations．Secondly， if students at school are bullying you， know when to stand up for yourself． Don't let other classmates make you feel that you are not good enough． They are simply insecure and do not know how to deal with the pressures of school． They are just trying to make others feel bad， so they can feel better about themselves．Lastly， it is necessary to keep things correctly． For any situation that is stressful， take a second look from a different point of view． When I look back to the frustrations of my high school days，I notice that many of them seem very unimportant to me now．It's not easy to be confident when there are so many students who seem like they "have it all"，but try to realize that you, too, are good enough. It’s not a competition about who is smarter, more beautiful—everyone is different—so believe your individuality.________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ 39. 这项发明使她在学术圈内获得赞誉。
