Put on a happy face.Compared to unhappy people, those who are cheerful and relaxed are less likely to suffer from cold, according to a new study. It’s possible that being happy helps the body fight illnesses, say the researchers from New York University.“It seems that positive feelings may reduce the danger of illness,” said the study’s chief researcher Sheldon Cohen.In an earlier study, Cohen found that people who were cheerful and lively caught coughs and colds less often. People who showed positive feelings werealso less likely to tell their doctors that they felt ill.In this study, Cohen’s study interviewed 193 adults every day for two weeks. During the interviews, the people told researchers about the happy or sad feelings they had that day.After the two weeks, the people were given colds by doctors and had to stay alone in a room for six days.The result showed that everyone in the study was equally likely to get ill. But for people who said they felt happy during the research period, their illness was less serious and lasted for a shorter time.Cohen believes that when people experienced positive feelings, their body may produce a chemical that helps fight illness and disease. So if you are worried about your health, look on the bright side more often.（1）What did the study find?A . People who felt happy never got ill.B . People’s feelings didn’t influence their health.C . People with positive feelings had less serious illnesses.D . People with good feelings became ill more easily.（2）This passage is probably a/an ________.A . advertisementB . scientist’s diaryC . storyD . newspaper report（3）What is the best title for this passage?A . Smiles Can Fight ColdsB . Cause of Colds FoundC . The Danger of ColdsD . How People Get Sick3. 阅读理解Charlie studied in a famous college for four years. He studied hard anddid well in all his subjects.

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. B．To encourage people to plant trees.C．To allow people to get more rest. D．To remind people to get close to nature. 9．Which word is the closest in meaning to “augment” in paragraph 3?A．Increase. B．Figure. C．Record. D．Stop.10．What does Soipan Tuya want to say by referring to the day as “a ‘hummingbird’ contribution day”?A．We should get on well with birds. B．No contribution is too small to leave animpact.C．Each animal is important to nature. 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。

She correctly spelled 22 words during a 90- second spell-off. Most Americans, however, would find it difficult to spell any of these words!From an early age, native English speakers know there are clear differences between how words are pronounced and how they are spelled. But they do not know that the difference is unique to English among major languages.Languages like Italian or Finnish can be spelled more easily because each letter of the alphabet matches to one sound. Students studying these languages can have 90 percent reading accuracy after the first year. However, because of the history of English language, it has old spellings, but new sounds. In English, many letters of the alphabet have two or more sounds. This is why even after years of learning, students of English are still far below Italian or Finnish students in reading accuracy.English has 26 betters in the alphabet, but over 44 individual sounds depending on the variation of spoken English. Take vowel letters for example. There are only 5 or 6 vowel letters in the English alphabet. They include A, E, I, O, U, and sometimes Y. But there are 20 different ways to sound them! These sounds are formed by air moving through the mouth and throat freely. At the center is the most common vowel sound of “uhhh” It is the m ost relaxed and natural sound. It takes almost no effort of the tongue or throat to create the sound.Brian M. Sietsema is an Associate Pronouncer for the scripts National Spelling Bee. Heobserve that since it takes little effort, the sound “uhhh” often m akes its way into pronunciations. For example, the word “please” often turns into “PUH-lease” when someone is trying to call attention. This is another reason why spelling in English is so difficult!8、Why is the language like Italian or Finnish spelled more easily?A. Because it has old spellings.B. Because each letter has a fixed sound.C. Because it has sounds easy to pronounce.D. Because it has 44 individual sounds.9、From what aspect does the writer mainly talk about the spelling difficulty?A. Grammar.B. Pronunciation.C. Reading accuracy.D. Speaking.10、What does the writer want to express by giving the example in the last paragraph?A. A word pronunciation includes a sound “uhhh”B. There is difficulty in pronouncing the word “please”C. A word pronunciation can cause its spelling mistakes.D. The pronunciation of “PUH -lease” should be paid attention to.11、Which is the most suitable title for the text?A. Why Spelling in English Is So DifficultB. Why English Is Different from Other LanguagesC. how Most American Have Spelled English WordsD. How haring Log an Won the scripts National Spelling BeeAn increasing number of the youth have become more worried about the climate change than ever before. Katie Cielinski and Aaron Regunberg are millennials (千禧一代). Before marrying in 2017, the couple struggled for nearly a decade on whether to have a baby on an already crowded planet. Katie argued for raising a climate guard to fight for a healthy planet, but Aaron feared for the future climate changes their child would face.They are hardly alone in that struggle.

It also found that more than 96 percent said they are concerned about the well-being (幸福) of a child in a climate-changed world.There is a piece of good news in all the anxiety. In the United States, the young who have the most anxiety are also the most confident that they could do something about it. They havemillions of youths took part in the same-day protests that went throughout the globe, fromSydney to New York to Mumbai, Indi a’s largest city.Jennifer Atkinson is a professor of the University of Washington, Bothell. “My students feel a mix of ‘sadness, fear and anger’ at the climate changes they’ve seen in their 20-odd years of life.” she says, “I don’t tell them to avoid these ‘negative (负面的) emotions’ —which are not actually negative at all, but a healthy response to loss. Sadness makes us clear what we love and do not want to lose, and anger drives us to fight against unfairness. I encourage my students to see these strong feelings as a kind of superpower to help make a better world.”12、What causes the disagreement on whether to have a baby for the couple?A. Climate change.B. The crowded planet.C. The way to raise it.D. The cost to feed it.13、What is the function of the second paragraph according to the text?A. To list figures.B. To offer an evidence.C.

B．Pay $37.50 for his ticket.C．Be a member of a group D．Enter the park before 9:00am.Forty-three years seems like a long time to remember the name of a mere acquaintance (认识的人). I have forgotten the name of the old lady to whom I delivered newspapers but I can’t forget the lesson she taught me in forgiveness .On a winter afternoon, a friend and I were throwing stones onto the roof of the old lady’s house . I found myself a perfectly smooth rock and threw it out. The stone was too smooth, however, so it slipped from my hand as I let it go and headed straight not for the roof but for a small window of the house.At the sound of broken glass, we knew we were in trouble. We turned and ran away fast.I was too scared about getting caught that first night by the old lady with the broken window. Howeve r, a few days later, when I was sure that I hadn’t been discovered, I started to feel guilty for her misfortune.She still greeted me with a smile each day when I gave her the paper, but I was no longer able to act comfortable in her presence. I made up my mind that I would save my paper delivery money, and in three weeks I had the seven dollars that I thought would cover the cost of her window.I put the money in an envelope with a note explaining that I was sorry for breaking her window and hoped that the seven dollars would cover the cost for repairing it. I waited until dark, and put the letter I didn’t sign in her letter box.The next day, I handed the old lady her paper and was able to return the warm smile that I was receiving from her.She thanked me for the paper and gave me a bag of cookies she had made herself. I thanked her and ate the cookies happily.After several cookies, I felt an envelope and pulled it out of the bag. When I opened the envelope, I was stunned. Inside were the seven dollar s and a short note that said, “I’m proud of you.”5．What happened when the author broke the old lady’s window?A．He was caught red-handed. B．He thought he was not discovered. C．He left seven dollars right now. D．He reported to the police at once. 6．What is true according to the passage?A．The author borrowed seven dollars to give to the old lady.B．The author felt quite all right after the accident .C．The old lady had already discovered who broke her window.D．The old lady kept the money given by the boy.7．We may know from the passage that the old lady was_____.A．critical B．suspicious C．generous D．gentle 8．The author wrote the passage to_____.A．tell the readers the life story of a nice old ladyB．tell the readers a lesson he remembered for 43 yearsC．talk about his paper-delivery adventureD．talk about a young boy’s interesting storyI remember that it was a fall morning when the orchestra (管弦乐队) teachers came into Miss Newell’s third-grade classroom. “You have hands for the viola (中提琴),” Miss Ciano told me. I was excited because my hands were finally good for something. I told my parents I wanted to play, and naturally, they agreed.Since I first touched the viola, I haven’t been able to put it down. Ignoring the difficulty, I am pulled closer to it each day.Classical music is truly my best friend. It is the trusted friend of every man, woman and child. Various feelings are expressed in classical music. I discovered that when I was eleven and played a cello concerto (大提琴协奏曲) of Bach in a competition, the first movement was joyful, but the second movement was mysterious and full of pain. From the piece, I learned that music expresses not only feelings, but also sudden mood changes. By listening toclassical music, I know that someone else shares these feelings. Since I am lucky enough to be able to play classical music, I am comforted by it when I am upset. It gives me a way to escape from my problems for a short period. Classical music can express my joy, sadness and anger.Now look back at that fall day in the third grade and think how gullible I was for believing that anyone, even music teachers, could tell whether hands were perfect for a certain instrument. I’m certain they told me I had “ viola hands” not because they were fortune-tellers (算命师), but because there was a lack of violists in our district. Classical music is one of the best things that ever happened to mankind. If you get introduced to it in the right way, it will become your friend for life.9．What’s the author’s purpose in writing the first and second paragraphs?A．To introduce an interesting musical class.B．To offer the evidence of her gift for music.C．To show the importance of proper guide.D．To tell the power of support from parents.10．According to the passage, in what way does classical music help the author?A．By developing social skills. B．By improving mental health.C．By broadening life experience. D．By building close relationship. 11．What does the underlined word “gullible” mean in the last paragraph?A．Easily tricked. B．Firmly loved.C．Greatly challenged. D．Secretly hidden.12．Which could be the best title for the passage?A．Special event, sweet memory. B．Classical music, endless friendship C．Lifetime dream, great effort. D．Happy childhood, unforgotten experience.Every year, thousands of people gather in Spain’s northeastern city of Pamplona for the opportunity to run for their lives as six fighting bulls are set free to charge through the town.But the event is of interest not just to adventurous tourists. Daniel Parisi and his team realized that the Pamplona bull runs offered a perfect natural experiment to study the activities of frightened crowds.That is a useful topic to explore. Architects, civil engineers and urban planners must tryto work out how people will behave in the event of a disaster so they can design their creations to avoid potentially deadly crushes. Unfortunately, reliable information is hard to come by. Authorities, after all, are likely to frown on researchers putting volunteers into serious danger simply to study how they might behave.In July 2022, the researchers set up two cameras on the rooftops and recorded the runners’ behaviors as the animals were charging through the town. Then they brought their recordings back to the lab to calculate the speeds of the runners, the density of the crowd and the probability of a runner tripping and falling. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the researchers found that runners picked up speed when the bulls drew near. Less expected was the finding that the speed of indiv idual runners increased with the density of the crowd. At the crowd’s maximum speed of around four metres per second, density reached roughly one runner per square metre. This finding is contrary to a long-held assumption that people will slow their pace as group density goes up. Their data further suggests that, in the heat of the moment, people pay little attention to the danger of running into each other, and do not slow down.Their conclusion? The only option for the urban designers is to plan wider stairs, tunnels, bridges and other passages in the future.13．What attracted Daniel Parisi to Pamplona?A．The beauty of the small Spanish city. B．The behaviors of frightened crowds. C．The unique traditions of the festival. D．The adventurous spirit of the event. 14．What does the underlined phrase “frown on” in paragraph 3 most probably mean? A．Disapprove. B．Encourage. C．Fund. D．Permit. 15．What surprised Daniel Parisi?A．The crowds moved faster as the bulls came near.B．The fastest runner’s speed reached 4m per second.C．The runners picked up speed as group density went up.D．Some people stopped to help others in the face of danger.16．What is the best title for the text?A．In Pamplona, Wild Tourists Behave BadlyB．In Pamplona, Bulls Run and Tourism GrowsC．Researchers Survived the Bull Run in PamplonaD．Pamplona Bull Run Shows How Crowds Behave二、七选五How to Train Y our Brain to Show KindnessIt is always good to learn new things, especially kindness. 17 , here are some ways for you.Show kindness to yourself firstYou might think that the first step should be helping others, but that won’t make a lasting change. If you keep being strict with yourself, that attitude will show how you treat others. If you are always in a bad mood, this feeling will also influence others in your actions.18 .19If you want to be kind, you need to listen to people. Most of the time, if a stranger on the street asks for some money, you may first think they are trying to cheat. But what if you’re wrong? You’ll never know unless you listen. Therefore, from now on, ma ke an effort to listen actively.Build positive thinking skillsA positive thought is one of the most important things you can do when learning to be kind. If your life is full of negativity, you will never be able to spread positive emotions into the world. How to build positive thinking skills? One of the best ways to do it is to practise gratitude. 20 , always try to see the good in things. Make an effort to take some time and enjoy the small things.Be activePractice makes perfect 21 . And kindness is a skill you need to learn, much like riding a bike. All it takes is just a little bit of practice. Once being kindness becomes part of your daily routine, you’ll internalize(内化)it.A．Make an effort to listenB．Offer to help strangersC．If you try your best to do itD．If you want to train your brain to show itE．No matter how dark the world might seemF．This saying is true when you want to gain any new skillG．So, to make a lasting change, you must learn to be kind to yourself first三、完形填空We all feel blessed by the great field of love that surrounds us all.

Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage.ATanzania Tarangire is a national Park which lies in Tanzania. 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.
