I r ested a little bit longer, bandaged (包扎) it up, and then tried again,” Harrington said, adding that although she “kind of didn’t really want to try again,” she powered through because “ I felt like I should try again.”After 21 hours and 13 minutes, Harrington scaled all of El Capitan, achieving a feat (壮举) she failed to finish twice last year. “That was my life dream. I achieved it,” she said.Harrington said she’s hopeful that her journey has inspired others. “I hope that as a result of my story more peo ple will get to experience climbing, or at least try.”Harrington previously scaled Mt. Qomolangma, the tallest mountain in the world. As a former member of the USA climbing team, Harrington has competed in five U.S. sport climbing championships and two North American championships.4. What does the underlined word “scale” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A．Remove. B．Mount. C．Measure. D．Weigh.5.

Where is this passage probably taken from?A．A travel journal. B．A story book.C．A news report. D．A science magazine.Pigeons in London have a bad reputation. Some people call them flying rats. And many blame them for causing pollution with their droppings. But now the birds are being used to fight another kind of pollution in this city of 8.5 million.“The problem for air pollution is that it’s been largely ignored as an issue for a long time,” says Andrea Lee, who works for the London-based environmen tal organization Client Earth. “People don’t realize how bad it is, and how it actually affects their health.” London’s poor air quality is linked to nearly 10,000 early deaths a year. Lee says, if people were better informed about the pollution they’re br eathing, they could pressure the government to do something about it.Nearby, on a windy hill in London’s Regent’s Park, an experiment is underway that could help —the first week of flights by the Pigeon Air Patrol. It all began when Pierre Duquesnoy, the director for DigitasLBi, a marketing firm, won a London Design Festival contest last year to show how a world problem could be solved using Twitter. Duquesnoy, from France, chose the problem of air pollution.“Basically, I realized how important the problem was,” he says. “But also I realized that most of the people around me didn’t know anything about it. “Duquesnoy says he wants to better measure pollution, while at the same time making the results accessible to the public through Twitter. “So,” he wondered, “how could we go across the city quickly collecting as much data as possible?” Drones were his first thought. But it’s illegal to fly them over London. “But pigeons can fly above London, right?” he says. “They live here — actually, they are Londoners as well. So, yeah, I thought about using pigeons equipped with mobile apps. And we can use not just street pigeons, but racing pigeons, because they fly pretty quickly and pretty low.”So it might be time for Londoners to have more respect for their pigeons. The birds may just be helping to improve the quality of the city’s air.8. What can we infer about London’s air quality from Paragraph 2?A．Londoners are very satisfied with it.B．The government is trying to improve it.C．Londoners should pay more attention to it.D．The government has done a lot to improve it.9. Why did Duquesnoy give up using drones to fly across London?A．Because they fly too high.B．Because they are expensive.C．Because they fly too quickly.D．Because they are not allowed.10. What is the text mainly about?A．Clean air in London.B．London’s dirty secret.C．London’s new pollution fighter.D．Causes of air pollution in London.11. 将下列几个部分 (A、B、C、D 和 E) 按题号排序，构成一个符合逻辑的完整语篇。

广东省佛山市南海区南海中学分校2023-2024学年高一上学期10月月考英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解Is digital technology weakening our ability to communicate? Fingers flying, we can blog, email and enter chat rooms. As we type our millions of words, something is being lost. Our virtual skills increase, our ability to communicate using speech is on the decline (下降).We are addicted to the power of the typed word and it is getting in the way of our ability to look people in the eye and talk. A good example is how much digital technology has affected public speaking.At conferences and meetings, I hate it when speakers show their long and boring slides (幻灯片). I don’t mind maps and pictures, but all those words of text drive me crazy. “And now for my introduction...” and up comes the word “introduction”. “There are four main points” and we see “four points”. Lots of facts and data follow. These should all have been given out as an information sheet, or put on a website. Instead, while you are trying to go through the material, the lecture r is reading all about it, word for word. There’s a confusion of focus, and it gives me a headache. As the slides flash by, the most important relationship in public speaking is being destroyed—the connection between the speaker and the audience.Good speakers watch their audiences. They don’t allow them to be distracted. If heads are nodding or feet moving around, it is time to attract their attention. Change the tone (音调) of your voice, slow down, and then suddenly speed up. “And most importantly!”, you shout, and then say the next thing very softly, so people prick up (竖起) their ears in case they miss important information.We would be better off if we stop clicking away crazily on a mouse, as the ability to communicate face to face and hold the attention of others is a necessary human skill. Be careful of a technology in which the speed of our fingers is more important than the quality of our voices.1．What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about?A．Tips on being an excellent public speaker.B．Unusual mistakes that public speakers make.C．The author’s expectations of slides for meetings.D．Digital technology’s ill effects on public speaking.2．Which is the author’s advice for attracting the audience’s attention?A．Changing the talking speed.B．Pricking up ears while talking.C．Nodding heads while listening.D．Walking around in the room.3．What does the author try to express in the last paragraph?A．We need to improve our typing skills.B．We should stop using digital technology.C．We’d better think twice before using technology.D．We should balance our virtual life and the reality.4．Which section of a newspaper is the text most likely from?A．Opinions.B．Lifestyle.C．Breaking News.D．Art and Design.Arriving in Sydney on his own from India, my husband, Rashid, stayed in a hotel for a short time while looking for a house for me and our children.During the first week of his stay, he went out one day to do some shopping. He came back in the late afternoon to discover that his suitcase was gone. He was extremely worried as the suitcase had all his important papers, including his passport.He reported the case to the police and then sat there, lost and lonely in a strange city, thinking of the terrible troubles of getting all the paperwork organized again from a distant country while trying to settle down in a new one.Late in the evening, the phone rang. It was a stranger. He was trying to pronounce my husband’s name and was asking him a lot of questions. Then he said they had found a pile of papers in their trash can(垃圾桶) that had been left out on the footpath.My husband rushed to their home to find a kind family holding all his papers and documents. Their young daughter had gone to the trash can and found a pile of unfamiliar papers. Her parents had carefully sorted them out, although they had found mainly foreign addresses on most of the documents. At last they had seen a half-written letter in the pile in which my husband had given his new telephone number to a friend.That family not only restored the important documents to us that day but also restored our faith and trust in people. We still remember their kindness and often send a warm wish their way.5．What did Rashid plan to do after his arrival in Sydney?A．Go shopping B．Find a houseC．Join his family D．Take a vacation6．The girl’s parents got Rashid’s phone number from_________.A．a friend of his family B．a Sydney policemanC．a letter in his papers D．a stranger in Sydney7．What does the underlined word “restored” in the last paragraph mean?A．Showed B．Sent outC．Delivered D．Gave back8．Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A．From India to Australia.B．Living in a New CountryC．Turning Trash to Treasure.D．In Search of New Friends.阅读理解。

一、现代文阅读（本题共6小题，20分）气（一）现代文阅读I（本题共3小题，10分）阅读下面的文字，完成1~3题。

材料一：汉字变形表意的现象古已有之，大约肇始于变体字的产生。

变体字是指通过改变某一个字的字形来表意的汉字。

改变字形的方法主要有两种：一是增减笔画表意。

如表示半木的“片”，取自“木”的篆文字形右半。

二是改变字形方向表意。

如表示不可之义的“叵”的字形是反写的“可”。

这种变体字可以说是后人利用汉字变形来表意的雏形。

之后，后人在景观中增添变形后的汉字，以达到加强汉字艺术表现力和表达某种寓意的目的。

例如，泰山上有一块摩崖刻石，刻着清光绪年间刘廷桂书写的“虫二”二字，是“风月”二字的变形，“虫”字由“风”字的繁体“風”省去声符“凡”而来，“二”字省掉了“月”字的外边轮廓，寓意“风月无边”。

汉字的结构由部件组合，横、竖、撇、点、折等笔画构成部件，部件与笔画的变化也会影响字义。

例如，秦皇岛山海关牌匾上的“天下第一关”五个大字中，“第”字写作“第”，“第”在《说文》中被释为“草也”，《集韵》有“一曰卉木初生叶儿”，这里借用“第”来表达谦逊的态度。

在汉字发展演变几千年后的今天，我们仍能见到将汉字和图画紧密结合的景观变形字。

例如，浙江杭州的城市形象标志就是“杭”字的变形。

“杭”在上古也有航渡义，与“航”相通，后来专用“航”指乘船济渡，遂使“杭”“航”成为古今字。

广东省佛山市南海区2024-2025学年高一上学期学业水平测试英语试卷一、阅读理解Rohan Chakravarty, a cartoonist from Nagpur, is the creator of Green Humour — a series (系列) of cartoon books focused on wildlife, nature protection. His works bring to life a world where tigers worry about their future and whales throw ocean plastic waste back to humans.Chakravarty was drawn to cartoons, like many children when he was young. Although he would get punished for often drawing on school desks and his textbooks, it didn’t stop him from creating cartoon books based on the cartoons he saw on TV.His turning point came during his first wildlife trip as a volunteer for a Non-Governmental Organization (NGO), where he saw a tiger and was inspired to draw cartoons on wildlife. Originally aiming for a job in medicine, Chakravarty realized it wasn’t his interest. Soon, Chakravarty started working as an animation (动画) designer in a Bengaluru company, and chose cartoons as his medium to communicate serious problems like environmental protection in a more attractive manner.In 2013, Chakravarty started Green Humour, which was published on GoComics, becoming the first Indian cartoon series to reach the world. So far, Chakravarty has published nine books, including Making Friends with Snakes, which has been translated into 14 foreign languages and won a prize at the Green Literature Festival in 2021.As a cartoonist, Chakravarty’s work is not simply saying or drawing something funny, but it relates to a lot of understanding and research. He explained that working with scientists helped him deepen his understanding of wildlife protection and balance humour and hard science. Faced with challenges like losing popularity among young readers and difficulty gaining acceptance from publishers, Chakravarty still continues to create a space for environmental protection through his art, aiming to attract people of all ages to care for the environment.1．What does Green Humour center on?A．Wildlife service.B．Wildlife research.C．Wildlife protection.D．Wildlife organization.2．What can we learn about Chakravarty from paragraph 2?A．He preferred TV to cartoon books.B．He disliked going to school.C．He was attracted to cartoon games.D．He was crazy about drawing.3．What motivated Chakravarty to draw cartoons on wildlife?A．His first wildlife trip.B．His job in medicine.C．His school requirement.D．His interest in volunteering.4．Which of the following can be used to describe Chakravarty’s works?A．Difficult but inspiring.B．Boring but informative.C．Shallow and outdated.D．Interesting and educational.Most of us are all too familiar with that tired feeling after a restless night. However, some social media users have pushed their tiredness further by taking part in a “no-sleep challenge”. One 19-year-old video creator, Jack, shared his effort live about trying to break a world record for several days in a row without sleep. He finished with 264 hours and 24 minutes without sleep, but it was not enough to beat the 1986 Guinness World Record of 453 hours. Guinness stopped keeping track of this record in 1997 for safety reasons, and they were right — going without sleep for a long time can be very dangerous.Adults should aim for more than seven hours’ sleep per night regularly. Sleep enables many of our bodily systems to rest and recover. During the first three stages of sleep, the nervous system that controls rest and digestion takes over, lowering heart speed and blood pressure. The final stage, the rapid eye movement (REM) stage, is key to functions like creativity, learning, and memory.Lack of sleep can lead to a higher risk of health problems, such as serious sadness, heart problems, and high blood pressure. Even 24 hours without sleep can cause serious problems. Signs of lacking sleep can include tired eyes, feeling angry easily, and wanting more food. On the second day, things get worse, thinking weakens and microsleeps — short moments of sleep lasting around 30 seconds — begin. By day three, people may feel disconnected from reality and have a strong need to sleep. Once into day four of sleeplessness, all signs get much worse, leading to a state where you can’t tell what is real and have a painful desire to sleep.Recovery varies from person to person. For some, a good night’s sleep may be enough,while others may take days or weeks to recover. However, even after catching up on sleep, it often doesn’t fix all the changes in the body caused by a lack of sleep. To stay healthy, avoid social media challenges and instead choose good sleep habits to get your seven to nine hours of quality sleep. Your body will thank you.5．What do we know about Jack?A．He broke the Guinness World Record.B．He stayed awake for more than 11 days.C．He suffered no harm from the challenge.D．He shared his experience after the event. 6．Why is the REM stage important?A．It improves digestion.B．It increases heart rate.C．It supports certain brain functions.D．It helps with physical growth.7．What is the best title for the text?A．The Dangers of Lack of Sleep B．Health Benefits of REM SleepC．Recovery from Sleep Loss D．The No-Sleep ChallengeTrying to convince kids to eat their food can be challenging. The tears, the uncontrollable anger — many parents will know the feeling only too well. But those failing to get their child to eat some vegetables can get some relief, as a new study has found that picky eating is largely down to genes (基因), while environmental factors, such as the types of foods eaten at home and where meals are eaten, may only be important when the child is between one and three years old.The research, led by researchers from University College London, King’s College London and the University of Leeds, included more than 2,000 pairs of both identical and non-identical twins born in 2007 in the United Kingdom. Parents answered questions about their children’s eating behaviors from the ages of 16 months to 13 years old. Most identical twins share 100% of their genetic material, while non-identical twins do not, which meant the researchers could compare genetic and environmental influences on picky eating across both groups. Researchers found that non-identical twin pairs were much less similar when it came to picky eating than identical twin pairs. This shows that genes have a large influence on how unwilling a child is to try new foods.Picky eating “often causes a lot of stress for the children and their families,” Moritz Herle, one of the study’s lead authors, said. “Our research shows that differences between children’spicky eating can be largely caused by genes, which hopefully will help to reduce some of the blame directed at parents.”The study also found that the environment can, however, have an influence on a child’s food pickiness when they are between one and three years old. This could mean that, if a child is picky at this age, early efforts to help them learn to eat a wider range of food could reduce their pickiness in the future. For example, parents can try to create a relaxed environment around mealtimes.8．What should be primarily responsible for picky eating according to the new research?A．Foods.B．Genes.C．Age.D．Feeding.9．What can we learn about each pair of identical twins from paragraph 2?A．They have different genetic material.B．They are more willing to taste new foods.C．They are under varied environmental influences.D．They tend to develop similar preferences for foods.10．According to Moritz Herle, what will the research help with?A．Food variety.B．Family harmony.C．Child independence.D．Environment protection.二、其他11．Going for yum cha or dim sum is a practice that has become increasingly popular in the western world —but what does it mean? Yum cha literally translates to “drink tea”, and it is the practice of going to a restaurant to eat dim sum—bite-sized portions of food, usually steamed or fried. People in southern China go to yum cha with family and friends—it is a time to relax and catch up in a laid-back environment.The most popular time to go for yum cha is late morning—or what is known in the West as brunch. In fact, some say that brunch was inspired by yum cha.It is believed that the custom began thousands of years ago when teahouses started cropping up along the Silk Road to provide rest for weary travellers. Later, it was discovered that tea aids digestion, so teahouse owners started offering snacks with their tea and yum cha was born.From the passage, we know that yum cha is ________.A．a moment for relaxation B．a fast-paced dining experienceC．a strictly regulated eating tradition D．a popular custom for the whole day三、阅读理解Last year, Zhang Tian completed his university education and earned his teaching certificate. Like many parents, his own wished for him to pursue a teaching career in a metropolitan area. Similarly, his peers had all migrated to cities like Shanghai or Beijing for job opportunities. Yet, Zhang Tian held a different perspective. He was determined to embark on a new life path. His inspiration came from the remarkable educators he had encountered in rural schools during his early school years, which motivated him to teach in areas where his skills were most desperately required. As a result, he applied to become a volunteer teacher at a rural school and was accepted.Armed with an abundance of books, clothing, and a pair of athletic shoes, Zhang Tian set off for the village with a spirit full of anticipation. He was brimming with excitement about the prospects of self-sufficiency and the adventure of village teaching.However, reality did not entirely align with Zhang Tian’s expectations. The school was smaller than he had imagined, with only three classrooms. A playground lay in front of the classrooms, which turned into a dustbowl on windy days and became muddy on rainy ones. Adjusting to village life proved to be more difficult than anticipated. The power and water supplies was unreliable, so he could only shower every three or four days, and he had to learn how to cook. The idea of leaving did cross his mind, but he swiftly dismissed it, instead seeking solutions to overcome these challenges.12．Why did Zhang Tian become a volunteer teacher in a village school?A．His parents pushed him to do so.B．He failed to land a job in big cities.C．His previous teachers influenced him.D．His friends all chose to work in the village. 13．What can be inferred about Zhang Tian from the passage?A．He is adaptable and resourceful.B．He is easily defeated by difficulties.C．He is athletic and good at basketball.D．He is overly reliant on modern conveniences.四、其他14．根据所学课文，将下列文段重新排序，从A、B、C和D中选择一个最佳选项，构成一个符合逻辑的完整语篇。

Not knowing what else to do, they agreed to pray(祈祷) to God on opposite sides of the island.Of course, the first thing they prayed for was food. The next morning, the first man saw a fruit tree on his side. But there was nothing on the other man’s side.Later the first man prayed for a house, clothes and more food. The next day, all of these things were given to him. However, the second man still had nothing.Finally, the first man prayed for a ship so that he could leave the island, and the next morning he found a ship.The first man decided to leave alone. As the ship was about to leave, the first man heard a voice, “Why are you leaving your friend on island?”“My blessin gs are mine alone, since I was the one that prayed for them,” the first man answered. “His prayers were all unanswered.”“You are wrong!” the voice said. “He had only one prayer, which I answered. If not for that, you would not have received any of our blessings.”“Tell me”, the first man asked, “what he prayed for?”“He prayed that all your prayers would be answered.”For all we know, our blessings are not the fruits of our prayers alone, but those of others’ prayers for us1．The first man decided to leave alone because he thought ________.A．the second man didn’t like himB．the second man didn’t want to leaveC．he was the one that prayed for the shipD．the second man’s prayers were all answered2．The underlined word “blessings” means _______ in Chinese?A．祈福B．同意C．善良D．责任3．The first man could get all the things because ________.A．God was kind to him B．the second man prayed for himC．God thought he was unlucky D．the second man prayed for nothing4．What’s the best title of the passage?A．How to live on an island B．Two men on a shipC．How to pray D．A friend’s prayerC15、In 1826, a Frenchman named Niepce needed pictures for his business. But he was not a good artist. So he invented a very simple camera. He put it in a window of his house and took a picture of his garden. That was the first photo.The next important date in the history of photography was in 1837. That year, Daguerre, another Frenchman, took a picture of his reading room. He used a new kind of camera in a different way. In his picture you could see things very clearly, even the smallest thing. This kind of photo was called a Daguerreotype.Soon, other people began to use Daguerre's way. Travellers brought back wonderful photos from all around the world. People took pictures of famous buildings, cities and mountains.In about 1840, photography was developed. Then photographers could take pictures of people and moving things. That was not simple. The photographers had to carry a lot of films and other machines.Mathew Brady was a famous American photographer. He took many pictures of great people. The pictures were unusual because they were very lifelike.Photography also became one kind of art by the end of the 19th century. Some photos were nor just copies of the real world. They showed their feelings, like other kinds of art.1．The first photo taken by Niepce was a picture of__________________ .A．his business B．his house C．his garden D．his window2．The Daguerreotype was______________ .A．a Frenchman B．a kind of pictureC．a kind of camera D．a photographer3．If a photographer wanted to take pictures of moving things in the year of 1840, he had to________________________ .

It started from Manchu people of Qing Dynasty in the early 17th century.Once there was a young fisherwoman living near a place called Jingbo Lake. She made a living by fishing. Her only problem was that when fishing she often felt bad because of her long wide clothes. Then an idea came into her mind —why not make a more comfortable dress to wear？Then she invented Qipao that helped herself fish easily.The young emperor who was in control of China at that time had a dream one night. In the dream his dead father told him a lovely fisherwoman wearing a long dress who lived by Jingbo Lake would become his wife. After that，the emperor sent some people to look for that woman. At last they found her in the place which his father told him. Then she became the emperor’s wife bringing her beautiful Qipao with her. Manchu women all liked Qipao and soon it became popular across China. Now it's also well known all over the world. Not only Chinese women but also women from foreign countries such as Indonesia are interested in wearing it. This kind of traditional dress is made of either silk or cotton. And anyway, it becomes one of the symbols of China.1．When did the Cheongsam start?A．It started in the late 17th century.B．It started it in the Ming Dynasty.C．It started in the early 17th century.D．It started in 1900s2．According to the passage, this kind of traditional dress can be made of _______.A．silk B．cotton C．silk or cotton D．cotton or paper3．What’s the best title for the passage?A．The History of the Cheongsam B．The Fisherwomen’s ClothesC．How to Make Cheongsam D．The Emperor and His WifeE17、Getting electricity(电)has always been a problem for the 173 people living in Nuevo Saposoa, a small village in Peru, South America. However, things went from bad to worse in March 2015 after heavy rains damaged(损坏)the only power cables(电缆)in the area. The villagers were forced to use oil lamps, which are not only expensive but also dangerous because of the harmful gases they produce.Luckily, researchers at the University of Technology(UT)in Lima, Peru heard about their problem and found a wonderful solution(解决方法).They made a lamp that can be powered by plants and soil, both of which can be easily found in the Amazonian rainforest where the village lies. The lamp takes energy from a plant growing in a wooden box and uses it to light up an LED light bulb.While that may sound amazing and even impossible, the science behind the idea is quite simple. As plants create their food (using the sun's energy, water and chemicals from the soil )，they also produce waste which they return to the soil. Tiny animals in the soil eat this waste and they produce electrons一the building blocks of electrical energy. The UT team put special sticks inside the soil to get the energy and keep it in the lamp's batteries for later use. The researchers say a single charge can power a 50-watt LED light for two hours 一enough time for local villagers to get their evening work done.The university gave ten Plant Lamps to the villagers of Nuevo Saposoa in October 2015. So far, they have been a huge success! Elmer Ramirez, the UT professor who invented the lamp，believes the Plant Lamp could help improve the lives of many people, especially small rainforest communities. 2% of whom have no electricity.1．What is true about the Plant Lamp?A．It can be made by local people.B．It is much easier to use than oil lamps.C．It can produce all the electricity the villagers need.D．The things it needs to make electricity are easy to find.2．The Plant Lamp's inventor believes it could be most helpful for .A．rainforest communities B．carsC．poor people in cities D．farmers3．What is the purpose of the passage?A．To report on a new inventionB．To explain a new scientific theory(理论)C．To describe how electricity is madeD．To discuss the problems of poor villagesF18、Are you interested in doing some voluntary work this summer holiday?

2023-2024学年广东省佛山市第一中学高一上学期入学素养测试英语测试试题Lying on the north-south axis (轴线) line of Beijing City, Bell and Drum Towers were built in 1272 and rebuilt twice after two fires. In one period in history they were the time-telling center of the capital city during the Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties (1271-1911).Bell TowerThe Bell Tower is 47. 9 meters high. This brick-and-stone-made building has two floors. Located on the second floor, the bell is the largest and heaviest in China. It is 7. 02 meters high, with a weight of63tons (吨). It was made of copper (铜), and you can hear its clear sound from far away.Drum TowerSituated 91 meters south to the bell tower, it was placed on a 4-meter-high stone and brick groundwork. It is 46. 7 meters high. It is a two-floor wooden building. There was one big drum and 24 smaller ones before, but only the big remains now.On New Year’s Eve 1990, the bell was rung again and the drum was rung on New Year’s Eve 2001 after being silent for so long. Since then, the drum and the bell have sounded 108 times every New Year’s Eve.How to get to Bell Drum TowersBy Subway:1. Take Subway Line 8 and get off at Shichahai Station.2.

The Great Wall of China is huge, after all, and you can see large things from far away. But even from a low orbit, it’s pretty much in visible (看不见的) to the naked eye, and not exactly easy to pick out with an advanced camera lens. Strangely, this myth (谬论) existed before we even went into space, so it had the opportunity to become a “fact” before it could even be checked. There are many other man-made objects visible from space, but because the Great Wall is made from rocks gathered in the surrounding area, it doesn’t stand out against the landscape enough to be visible. How Stuff Works helpfully suggests that China could paint the wall in hot pink to fix the matter.No.2 Einstein failed at schoolEinstein, the modern archetypal genius (天才), failing at school is a “fact” which serves as an encouragement to under-performing schoolchildren and is repeated by motivational speakers wanting to make some point about failure and success. It would be fairly comforting if true, but reality doesn’t tend to care about how comfortable you are. There are versions of this myth focusing on maths, but in either case, it’s just not true. The myth seems to re sult from the fact that the grading system used in his school was changed the year after he left—from 1 being the highest mark to 6 being the highest. Einstein got 1s, but to anybody looking back at his grades, it would seem like that meant he’d failed.No.3 ______________________Many people claim that if you wake someone when they’re sleepwalking, the shock of finding themselves not in bed will lead them to suffer a heart attack or otherwise do some serious damage. In actual fact, waking somebody who is sleepwalking does them no harm whatsoever. They might be a little confused. In fact, they could hurt themselves by continuing to sleepwalk freely, for obvious reasons. So, it’s better to guide a sleepwalker back to bed without waking, but if you do wake him, it won’t do any harm.No.4 Sharks don’t get cancerThis fact has gained acceptance despite having merely been invented as a reason for selling people shark cartilage pills as a cancer cure. Firstly, even if it was true that sharks didn’t get cancer, that wouldn’t mean that using a part of it was a cure or treatment for cancer. There were some initialpositive results, but they were also gained with other animal cartilages and didn’t translate into a reliable treatment. In short, eating shark cartilage pills does nothing for cancer patients. And to pile more stupidity on top of it, sharks clearly do get cancer.4. Why are we unable to see the Great Wall directly in space?A．The colour of the rocks is not hot pink.B．Advanced cameras are not employed.C．It’s too small to stand out from far away.D．The Great Wall is made from nearby rocks.5. What does the underlined sentence in No.2 mean?A．Failure is the mother of success.B．Reality has something to do with imagination.C．Success and failure should be both experienced.D．Assumption （设想） is one thing, but reality is another.6. Which of the following may be the subtitle of No.3?A．Sleepwalkers might be at a loss B．Sleepwalkers might attack othersC．Waking sleepwalkers will harm them D．Waking sleepwalkers will shock them 7. Who are more likely to benefit from the lie “Sharks don’t get cancer”?A．Drug sellers. B．Health advisors.C．Cancer patients. D．Shark researchers.Bullied (受欺凌的) kids face a high risk of mental health problems as teens and as young adults. Indeed, kids troubled by bullying may be worse off than those who had suffered physical abuse (虐待) or neglect, as the study found.Until recently, most studies of child victims focused not on bullying but on maltreatment (虐待), Dieter Wolke says. Maltreatment includes physical or emotional abuse, neglect or other behaviors that can harm a child.Wolke’s team wanted to better understand bullying’s long-term effects compared to those due to maltreatment. They focused on 4,026 children in the United Kingdom and 1,420 more in the United States. Information about bullying and maltreatment was collected for American children to age 13. They collected the same information for British youth up to age 16. The researchers also gathered data on each i ndividuals’ mental health as a young adult.Among the Americans, 36 percent of bullied kids had mental problems later. Those problems included anxiety, which is a state of excessive worry. They also included depression. That is a feeling of hopelessness that can last a long time. Among kids who had been maltreated by adults, 17percent later suffered mental health problems. That was less than half the rate seen in people had been bullied as school kids.In the U.K. group, the difference was less dramatic. Roughly 25 percent of the bullied kids reported mental health problems later, compared with about 17 percent who had been maltreated. But however you look at it, the findings are disturbing. And that’s why Wolke says schools, health services and other agencies must work together to end bullying.Studies like this are important, says Corinna Jenkins Tucker. They bring attention to the lasting impacts of bullying. Tucker does, however, question the value of comparing bullying to other types of abuse. Such an approach can make it seem like one type of bad experience is worse than the other, she says. In fact, both types have short-term and long-term effects on health. She’d like to see researchers study the big picture. They should try to understand how all of these negative experiences together shape children—and sometimes harm them.8. What can be interred from the passage?A．Researchers should pay less attention to maltreatment.B．More bullied kids have mental problems in the USA.C．A similar number of children are maltreated in America and Britain.D．Either bullying or maltreatment has negative effects on children’s health.9. What is the author’s purpose of writing this passage?A．To advertise. B．To inform. C．To compare. D．To entertain. 10. Where is the passage taken from?A．A news section. B．A science section.C．A culture section. D．An entertainment section.11. What does Tucker think of Wolke’s study?A．Disappointing. B．Improvable. C．Satisfactory. D．Unreasonable. Las Vegas city in Nevada is built in a desert.The city may be known to the outside world for its partying.But officials have found that there are 21 square kilometers of useless grass.The grass is never laid on, played on or even stepped on.The grass is only there to look nice.Now, the city is asking the Nevada state legislature (立法机构) to ban useless grass.It is trying to become the first place in America to ban that kind of grass often seen between streets, in housing developments and in office parks.It is estimated that useless grass makes up 40% of all the grass in Las Vegas and it needs a lot of water to survive.Grass needs four times more water than dry climate plants like cactus.By tearing out the grass, the city could reduce yearly water usage by 15%.In 2003, the Southern Nevada Water Authority banned developers from planting grass in front of new homes.It also offered homeowners $30 for each square meter of grass they tear out.But fewerpeople are now using the program.Water usage has increased in southern Nevada by 9% since 2019.And last year, Las Vegas set a record of 240 days without major rainfall.The Colorado River provides much of Nevada’s drinking water.The river could lose more water as climate change affects it.Water officials in other dry cities said water usage needs to be reduced.But they fear the reaction to reforms like the ones in Las Vegas if their communities do not accept them.Cynthia Campbell is the water resources adviser for the city of Phoenix in Arizona.“There might come a point when city restrictions get too severe (苛刻的) for some residents (居民).They’ll say that is the point of no return for them,” Campbell said.“For some people, it’s a pool.For some people, it’s grass.”12. Why does Las Vegas city try to ban useless grass?A．To protect the local people.B．To beautify the city.C．To reduce water usage.D．To reduce waste.13. What program was carried out in Las Vegas in 2003?A．Allowing planting grass before new houses.B．Encouraging the residents to tear out grass.C．Praising those who signed on the program.D．Awarding those who reduced water usage.14. What is implied in Campbell’s words in the last paragraph?A．Many residents won’t follow the ban.B．Reaction to the reform will vary personally.C．Other measures should be taken to protect wetter.D．Water officials should take many factors into consideration.15. Which of the following could be the best title for the text?A．Las Vegas Plans to Ban Useless GrassB．A Method Is Adopted to Save Las VegasC．Choices between Beauty and PracticeD．Grass Is Important but Useless in Las VegasFriendship is a very important human relationship and everyone needs good friends. But there are times in our lives such as when we have recently moved into a new town, or changed our schools orjobs. Such changes often leave us without a friend. 16 But for many of us, the process is difficult and requires courage. Below are some helpful suggestions on how to make and keep friends.Start a conversation.Starting a conversation is an important step in making new friends. 17 You can always start the conversation. Being able to make small talks is a very useful skill in relating (关联的) with other people.18Choosing friends with common interests is important in building friendship as these interests always bring you and your friend together. Hanging out will always be a pleasant experience.Let it grow.It is a good thing to stay in touch. However, try not to press your new friend with calls, messages or visits as this would likely wear him or her out and finally you may lose your friend. 19Enjoy your friendship.The best way to enjoy your friendship is to allow your friends to be themselves. 20 Try not to change them from who they are to what you want them to be. Become the kind of friend you will want your friend to be to you.I can still remember the afternoon when we climbed the mountain as if it were yesterday.
