Of course I, as most people do, want to see an improvement in my grades. This year, however, I’m hoping for something different.Through the course of my school life, I’ve gradually developed a new understanding of the word “prioritization (优先次序)”. The first thing I wish to get in Senior 1 is the ability to manage my time better. I’ll surely become busier with the coming semester, and proper organization is important. From school clubs to academic competitions, everything should be set up in a way that doesn’t influence my health, which leads me to my second goal.My mother has always told me put my health first, so in the future, I hope to both physically and mentally healthy. A person can’t study without having the energy to do so. In order to stay energetic, they must put their health first, no matter how busy they are, or how much work they have to complete.And finally, I hope that I won’t be discouraged by my failure and never give up on my dreams. I hope that I’ll have the courage to try new activities and clubs. I believe my final goal can apply to every student around the world. We should all respect one another’s likes and dislikes, and focus on each other’s strengths, not our weaknesses. Everyone should try to take part in all of life’s opportunities.Albert Einstein once said, “Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving.” In my case, it’s the other way around. In order to keep moving, I must keep my balance — the balance between studies and activities, efficiency and procrastination (拖延症), academics and health, passions and dislikes. The new journey is going to be a hard one, but if I establish these goals, I believe I will make it through to the end.4．During this school year, what does the author hopes to do?A．Focus on improving her overall grades.B．Join as many school clubs as possible.C．Learn how to manage her time well.D．Spend more time on outdoor activities. 5．According to the article, which of the following students should do?A．Always put their studies first.B．Not be afraid of failing.C．Only do what they're good at.D．Make different kinds of friends. 6．What does the underlined word in the last paragraph mean?A．A strong feeling of dislike.B．A strong feeling of love.C．A strong feeling of anger.D．A strong feeling of joy.7．What does the author intend to do?A．Show what she likes about high school life.B．Stress the importance of health to students.C．Show how to balance our studies and activities.D．Share her goals for the coming high school year.“Snowplow(扫雪机) parenting” is the newest parenting style that can include parents booking their adult children haircuts, calling their college kids to wake them up so that they don’t sleep through a test, and even calling their kids’ employers.“‘Helicopter (直升机) parenting’ means monitoring their kids’ every activity, which is out of date.” Claire Cain Miller and Jonah Engel Bromwich wrote in The New York Times. “Some rich mothers and fathers now are more like snowplows: clearing any problems in their children’s path to success so that they don’t have to meet failure or lose opportunities.”There is a mother who started a charity in her son’s name to try to raise his chances of being accepted to the college. Another parents spent years helping their daughter avoid foods with sauce, which she didn’t like. Once she got to college, she had problems with the food in her school because it was all covered in sauce.A survey says that three-quarters of parents of children between the ages of 18 and 28 ask for doctor visits or haircuts for their children, and 11% say they would call their kids’ bosses whether their children are having an issue at work.As reported, wealthy parents try to get their children into top colleges by giving a large amount of money to a school, such as paying for a building. This parenting has become the most popular way to raise children, whatever the income, education, or race is.Julie, a teacher at Stanford, told the Times that “snowplow parenting” is not a reasonableapproach. “The parents should prepare the kid for the road, instead of preparing the road for the kid,” she said.8．How does Julie like “snowplow parenting”?A．It is unreasonable.B．It is advanced.C．It is accepted by teachers.D．It is refused by rich people.9．What is the character of “helicopter parenting”?A．Parents make kids popular.B．Parents provide little money for kids.C．Parents ask kids to care for themselves.D．Parents watch over kids’ every activity. 10．What should parents do according to Julie?A．Do as wealthy parents do.B．Make kids be prepared.C．Make roads be prepared.D．Do as little as possible.11．What’s the best title for the text?A．Helicopter Parenting.B．The Similarity in Parenting.C．A Research on Parenting.D．A New Kind of Parenting.Cities usually have a good reason for being where they are, like a nearby port or river. People settle in these places because they are easy to get to and naturally suited to communications and trade. New York City, for example, is near a large harbour at the mouth of the Hudson River. Over 300 years its population grew gradually from 800 people to 8 million. But not all cities develop slowly over a long period of time. Boom towns grow from nothing almost overnight. In 1896, Dawson, Canada, was unmapped wilderness(荒野). But gold was discovered there in 1897, and two years later, it was one of the largest cities in the West, with a population of 30,000.Dawson did not have any of the natural conveniences of cities like London or Paris. People went there for gold. They travelled over snow-covered mountains and sailed hundreds of miles up icy rivers. The path to Dawson was covered with thirty feet of wet snow that could fall without warming. An avalanche(雪崩) once closed the path, killing 63 people. For many who made it to Dawson, however, the rewards were worth the difficult trip. Of the first 20,000 people who dug for gold, 4,000 got rich. About 100 of these stayed rich men for the rest of their lives.But no matter how rich they were, Dawson was never comfortable. Necessities like food and wood were very expensive. But soon, the gold that Dawson depended on had all beenfound. The city was crowded with disappointed people with no interest in settling down, and when they heard there were new gold discoveries in Alaska, they left Dawson City as quickly as they had come. Today, people still come and go — to see where the Canadian gold rush happened. Tourism is now the chief industry of Dawson City — its present population is 762. 12．What attracted the early settlers to New York City?A．Its business culture.B．Its small population.C．Its geographical position.D．Its favourable climate.13．What do we know about those who first dug for gold in Dawson?A．Two-thirds of them stayed there.B．One out of five people got rich.C．Almost everyone gave up.D．Half of them died.14．What was the main reason for many people to leave Dawson?A．They found the city too crowded.B．They wanted to try their luck elsewhere.C．They were unable to stand the winter.D．They were short of food.15．What is the text mainly about?A．The rise and fall of a city.B．The gold rush in Canada.C．Journeys into the wilderness.D．Tourism in Dawson.二、七选五Some students prefer to learn by themselves. They think they can learn better in this way because they have more freedom, pressure and independence. There is some truth in their way.16 It is better to have a teacher, especially when they learn something more difficult.First, a teacher can act as a guide to lead you to success. When you learn, you need helpand advice. A teacher will give you a hand when you face difficulties. 17 What is more, a teacher puts real pressure on you. If you study by yourself,you must bestrong-minded enough to keep on. 18 But under the guidance of a teacher, you will feel there is always someone to watch you. The teacher may give you homework to do. You must complete the homework, or you will not pass the course.Last but not least, studying with a teacher will help you receive the benefit of the teacher’s knowledge 19 .They teach students how to learn and how to obtain information. They guide allof you in class to discuss the material and provide extra material to broaden the scope of the topic.20 I choose to learn in a big family---my school. Without a teacher, I would feel there would be no fun and no pressure. I could not learn well in such dull and depressing circumstances.A．Besides, teachers are connected with our life.B．Teachers can help you solve all of your problems.C．In short, I prefer to go to class studying with a teacher.D．Without a guide, you would be searching in darkness.E．And you may become inactive for lack of a strong will.F．But they fail to see the advantages of learning with a teacher.G．In class, teachers do more than just going over the material in the text.三、完形填空job.

They found those who had brought drinks with them all got better grades by between 2 and 10 percent.“We don’t know why drinking water can be helpful. But scientists said having enough water in our bodies may also cut down on nervousness (紧张不安). This kind of feeling would be bad for examperformances,” said Chris Pawson, PHD of the University of East London.“Whatever the explanation(解释) is, it is clear that students should try hard to stay hydrated(含水的) during exams,” he added.So next time, when you are going to have a big exam, try bringing a bottle of water with you.

It had been an unusual day. The sky was dark but there were few clouds. As they drove up the street, there started to be a rumbling (隆隆的) sound heard across the ground.Jason’s father immediately realized that a tornado(龙卷风) was coming. He stopped the car and told Jason to get out immediately. Jason and his father got out of the car and made their way to the closest building. By this time the wind was blowing harder, and it was hard to see or hear. Debris was falling all over the place. Jason couldn’t see his dad anymore. He also realized that he wasn’t getting to the building fast enough. He was afraid he would be picked up by the wind and thrown into the air.As he made his way toward s the building, he noticed a field to his right. He could see an irrigation ditch(灌溉渠). In a panic, he scrambled (爬) to the ditch and lay flat on the ground. More debris and objects flew overhead. His heart was beating hard, and he was nervous. He had never been in a tornado before.After a while, the winds died down and the loud roaring sound was gone. Jason slowly lifted his head and nervously looked around. What he saw was a great mess. Jason could hardly recognize the buildings in front of him because of all the damage.He stood up and with shaky legs walked to the building. Once there, he pushed the door open and went inside. It was a public building owned by the city. It was empty, but Jason could hear noises further inside. He walked into the large room and saw his dad. He ran across the room and gave him a big hug.“Jason! How are you I’ve been worried sick about you!” said his father. “I couldn’t find you anywhere!”Jason breathed a sigh of a relief(松了一口气) and sat down. He did have a story to tell!18．From Para graph 1, we can get the ______ of the story. A．background B．development C．climax (most exciting part) D．ending19．Which of the following is the right order according to the passage①Jason nervously looked around from the irrigation ditch.②Jason ran across the room and gave his father a big hug.③Jason got out of the car.④ Jason noticed a field to his right.A．②①③④ B．③④①② C．④①②③ D．③①②④20．The underlined word “Debris” in Para graph 2 probably means ______.A．parts of the tornado B．apple pies C．broken pieces D．drop of rain21．The story tells us that when we are in danger, ______.A．we should wait patiently until help comesB．we should work hard to make our dreams come trueC．we should be brave enough to change natureD．we should be quick- thinking and believe in ourselvesDFrance is famous the world over for its wonderful food. If you were lucky enough to enjoy a French meal, you would most likely be offered some bread to eat with it. The most popular bread they bake is called a baguette. Ten million baguettes are sold every year in France. Because the French expect their bread to be super fresh, most of France’s 30, 000 bakers have to end their day by throwing into the waste bin any remaining baguettes.Frenchman Franck Wallet has thought about this food waste issue for many years. He originally trained to be an urban (城市的) planner and worked in that area for many years. But his mind would regularly turn to the problems of what to do with wastedfood—especially baguettes. He began to talk with some engineers to see if they could come up with a solution. In 2016, a solution was found. They called the machine the “Crumbier”.When a good baguette is just made, it is crispy on the outside and as soft as a cloud on the inside. Once it has cooled down the bread soon becomes hard. Before the Crumbier, this old bread would be thrown away. Today, if that bread is placed into the Crumbier, it is very quickly turned into very fine breadcrumbs(面包屑). These can be mixed with fresh flour(面粉), salt and water and baked again like normal bread.Bread made with Crumbier breadcrumbs has a darker colour, but just a little bit. The taste is also a little different and has been described as having the flavour of toast. Once the breadcrumbs have been produced, they can last up to six months if they have been packed properly. Because less water is used in Crumbier bread, it will last a little longer. The Crumbier is now on sale and bakers throughout France are making sure they have one. No one wants to waste food.22．What do most of French bakers do at the end of their day A．Prepare the materials for the next day. B．Give the remaining bread out for free.C．Throw the remaining bread away. D．Sell the bread at a very lowprice.23．What did Franck Wallet care about mostA．The waste of bread. B．The new taste of bread.C．The freshness of bread. D．The popularity of bread. 24．What is special about the bread made with Crumbier breadcrumbsA．It has a much darker colour. B．It keeps for a shorter time. C．It takes less time to bake. D．It tastes like toast.25．Which word best describes bakers’ attit ude to Crumbier in FranceA．Doubtful. B．Uninterested. C．Supportive. D．Unclear.第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

2023-2024学年四川省成都石室天府中学高一上学期新生入学考试英语试题Working online has opened the door for many to make a living or earn extra cash from the comfort of their own homes. And that includes teenagers. If you’re looking for such a job, here are some options you can consider.Customer ServiceIf you are 16 years of age or older, you will have the opportunity to become a Uhaul customer service officer. All you need to do the job is a good pair of headphones and a high-speed Internet connection. Base pay starts at $7.50 an hour.Sell Items OnlineSelling items online is one of the easiest ways to make quick cash. Teens can turn it into a good business by selling things on Bonanza. You need to start sorting through (分类) items at your home that are no longer being used and list them for sale.Take SurveysAnother easy task teens can do to earn money is to take surveys online. You don’t need any work experience to do this and can be as young as 13 years old to get started. Survey sites like VIP Voices, Swagbucks, Harris Poll, E-Poll, and Paid Viewpoint allow teens to start taking surveys for cash and gift cards. And your opinions should be expressed clearly in English.EtsyDo you love to make new things? You can open up an Etsy shop to share your works. Etsy is great for DIYers who can create new products. If you are under 18, you just need a parent who is willing to help manage your shop.1. What are teenagers allowed to do in Bonanza?A．Test new products for customers.B．Make money out of their old items.C．Learn about computer science.D．Receive training in customer service.2. What is required to take surveys online for teens?A．Having a wide range of interests.B．Having some related work experience.C．Having a good pair of headphones.D．Having a good command of English.3. What is special about those who own an Etsy shop?A．They have an active mind.B．They enjoy buying things online.C．They are interested in geographic.D．They are good at collecting used things.Criticism is judgment. A critic is a judge. A judge must study and think about the material presented to him, accept it, correct it or reject it after thinking over what he has read, watched or heard.Another word for criticism is appreciation. When I criticize or appreciate some object or another, I look for its good points and bad points. In reading any printed or written matter, I always have a pencil in hand and put any comments in the book or on a separate paper. In other words, I always talk back to the writer.That sort of critical reading might well be called creative reading because I am thinking along with the author, asking him questions, seeing whether he answers the questions and how well he answers them. I mark the good passages to store them in my memory piece of writing; where, how and why could or should I improve upon it?You might think that doing what I suggested is work. Yes, it is, but the work is a pleasure because I can feel my brain expanding, my emotion reacting and my way of living change.Reading exercises is a great influence on a person. If pictures, still or moving, accompany the reading, the memory will retain the material for a long time.Just as evil books can corrupt, so also can good books gradually work a change on a corrupt person.Let's get back to the beneficial effects of thinking while reading. It helps us to enlarge our minds. We understand more about the universe, its people and many of its wonders. We learn to think and observe in new ways. We certainly do get a feeling for the language we are reading. All good writers in any language have been readers who read critically and continuously.4. According to the writer, creative reading is ________.A．raising questions and answering them for the authorB．reading and giving comments on the materials one has readC．thinking in the same line with the authorD．storing up facts in one's memory5. The writer says a critic ________.A．asks what he does not understandB．talks back to the authorC．understand the background on which the works are basedD．looks for the good and bad points of the material he has read6. By the phrase “thinking along with” in the third paragraph, the writer means________.A．following one's thought closely B．acceptingC．considering D．agreeing7. We can learn from the passage that all good readers ________.A．understand more about their surrounding than others.B．have a thorough insight to the problem in life.C．have the feeling of the language they read.D．have read extensively(广泛地) and criticallyAs we all know, children are fast learners when learning a second language. However, adults can study a second language as fast as children, a new study reports. Adults can develop the increased neural (神经的)connections with language study that can avoid dementia(痴呆)by four years, as well as make traveling a lot easier.In an examination of Spanish second-language learners, the researchers found that after simplest training, the brain activity between sentences that relied on grammatical features unique to each language was similar to that of native speakers. “I think it is the reason why people think university foreign language teaching is good. It shows that, even with limited time in the college classroom, learning can h appen quite quickly and well, ”said professor Alison Gabriele, the co-author of the paper.Beyond that, it gives parents more reasons to study a second language as part of a family effort. Further research has shown that learning a language as a family effort improves everyone’s abilities and gives opportunities for learning something that are mostly absent from classroom settings. National Geographic reports in an interview with Christine Jernigan, author of Family Language Learning: Learn Another Language that as for immersion(沉浸)in language study, practicing a second language with people is the most important part, and who talks to each other more than a family? Language learners need to be brave. Besides, they should ready themselves for making mistakes and receive others’ advice.Most people will be far more comfortable making mistakes around family members than in a classroom setting. Furthermore, any home activity, whether that’s gardening, playing in the yard, watching movies, going shopping, cleaning, or cooking a meal, becomes an opportunity for language learning. Jernigan suggests preparing vocabulary before an activity and using it as short homework. Jernigan suggests using subtitles(字幕)too, so you can see which words are being used.8. What does the new study in Paragraph 1 find?A．Kids often travel a lot on their own.B．Adults have learnt a second language better than kids.C．Adults can study a second language as quickly as kids.D．Kids are likely to develop the increased neural connections.9. What does Alison Gabriele think of learning a language in the college classroom?A．It is successful. B．It is challenging.C．It is disappointing. D．It is boring.10. What is the advantage of learning a language as a family effort?A．Helping kids form good learning habits.B．Making parents control kids easily.C．Keeping kids focusing on the classroom.D．Having more chances to learn in different situations.11. What should language learners do according to the text?A．Try to take others’ advice less.B．Fit in with new learning environment.C．Be willing to accept others’ comments.D．Spend much time doing housework.As the concept of emotional intelligence (EI) has gone global, we’ve watched professionals fail as they try to improve their emotional intelligence because they either don’t know where to focus their efforts or they haven’t un derstood how to improve these skills on a practical level. In our work consulting with companies and coaching leaders, we have found that if you’re looking to develop particular EI strengths, it helps to consider areas for improvement others have identified along with the goals you want to achieve and then to actively build habits in those areas rather than simply relying on understanding them conceptually.The first step is to get a sense of how your self-perception (how you see yourself) differs from your reputation (how others see you). This is especially true for the development of EI because we can be blind to how we express and read the emotional components of our interactions. For example, most of us think that we’re good listeners, but very often that’s really not the case. Without this external reality check, it will be difficult for you to identify the ways that your actions affect your performance. Getting teed back from others can also provide proof of the necessity of shifting our behavior and motivation to do so.To give you the best sense of where the differences lie between your self-perception and reputation, you should use a 360-degree feedback assessment that takes into account the multiple aspects of EI. The key is to find one to give you feedback, which is focused on development and not on performance assessment. And that can give you a detailed understanding of how other people’s assessments of you differ from your own assessments.Secondly, when you get your feedback from an assessment, let that inform what you want to improve. But also consider what your goals are. When it comes to cultivating strengths in emotionalintelligence, you’re at a huge disadvantage if you’re only interested because others say you should be. Your emotional intelligence is so tied up in your sense of self that being intrinsically (内在的) motivated to make the effort matters more when changing longstanding habits than it does when simply learning a skill.That means the areas that you choose to actively work on should lie at the intersection of the feedback you’ve gotten and the areas that are most important to your own aspirations (抱负). Understanding the influences of your current EI habits relative to your goals will keep you going over a long period at time as you do the work or strengthening your emotional intelligence.12. What do we know from the first paragraph?A．EI can be better improved with others’ help.B．Leaders are badly in need of improving their EI.C．EI plays a key role in professional development.D．Professionals fail to understand the concepts of EI.13. According to the passage, which of the following is an “external reality check”?A．You help your siblings make a key decision.B．Your career development speeds up with others’ help.C．You reflected yourself and made a New Year resolution.D．Your teacher directed you towards a better attitude in study.14. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 4?A．To improve your EI, following your inner call is the most reliable.B．It’s bard for others to know yo ur EI because it hides deep inside.C．To improve your EI, you should take your goals into consideration.D．Acquiring a new skill is more significant than improving your EI.15. Which of the following might the author agree with?A．Your inner self discourages you from improving your EI.B．Effective EI development is determined by different factors.C．The importance of performance assessment is underestimated.D．EI development is unlikely to happen unless you know what EI is.Fake news spreads faster and more easily today through the internet, social media and instant messaging. 16 , which can harm the public health and add to social disorder and division.Some fake news also contains a mixture of correct information, which makes it difficult to spot what is true and accurate. 17 . They might not have read the full story before sharing or just glanced over it. Before you decide to share, make sure to read stories properly and follow some checks to determine the accuracy.If the story appears to claim a much higher level of certainty in its advice and arguments than other stories, this is questionable. 18 . So, it is only natural to more readily accept information that provides comfort or easy solutions – unfortunately, often in a false way.19 , it is worth double-checking. Fake news will try to grab your attention by being more exaggerated than real stories. Anything written entirely in capital letters or containing a lot of exclamation marks should raise your suspicions.The best sources for authentic information are your government websites. However, even government messaging can get things wrong. 20 . For instance, The Conversation is a more trusted source because all content is written by academics who are experts in their fields. Websites such as APFactCheck and Full Fact highlight common fake news stories. A search engine can be used to look up the title of the article to see if it has been identified as fake news by the mainstream media.Agnes Lloyd’s 70th birthday came, but the day went normally.

Young people and their parents don’t understand each other. The world has always kept changing. During the second century after Christ a wise man said, “Bury me on my face because in a little while everything will be turned upside down.”There has always been a gap between generations, but more people talk about it now. Old Mr. Ellis thinks he understands what has happened.“When I was a boy, I thought the world was a beautiful place. My life was very pleasant. But when I was older, I learned about people who were treated badly, people who didn’t have enough to eat. I wanted to help them, and I married a girl who wanted to help them, too. We went to meetings and talked a lot, but it didn’t seem to make much difference. ”“Our children grew up in a world at war. They didn’t know when the fighting would stop. They wanted their children to have nice clothes and toys. They didn’t want to think about the future. They thought nothing could be done about it.”“Now I have grandchildren, and they have their own ideas. They are trying to make the world better. They are trying to help other people. They’re making people listen to them. I am proud of their generation.”36. The wise man mentioned in the text told people to bury him on his face so that when everything is turned upside down he will _____.A. lie on his stomachB. lie on his backC. stand quietlyD. sit in peace37. Which generation did NOT want to do anything to make the world a better one?A. Mr. Ellis’ generationB. His children’s generationC. His grandchildren’s generationD. None of the above.38. Which generation is/was more efficient in making the world better one?A. Mr. Ellis’ generation.B. His children’s generation.C. His grandchildren’s generation.D. None of the above.39. What is the writer’s attitude towards the generation gap?A. Unacceptable.B. Awful.C. Funny.D. Common.BThe film follows the comedic and eventful (变故多的) journeys of two fish –Marlin and his son Nemo. In the colorful and warm tropical waters of the Great Barrier Reef (大堡礁), a clown fish named Marlin lives safely and hidden in a quiet corner with his only son, Nemo. Fearful of the ocean and its unpredictable risks, he struggles to protect his son. Nemo, like all young fish, is eager to explore the mysterious reef. Marlin and Nemo become separated in the Great Barrier Reef when Nemo is unexpectedly taken far from home and pushed into a fish tank in a dentist’s office overlooking Sydney harbor.In his quest, Marlin is joined by Dory, a Regal Blue Tang fish, who has the worst short-term memory and biggest heart in the entire ocean. The overly cautious father begins on a dangerous journey to rescue his son – who plans a few daring plans of his own to return safely home. As the two fish continue on their journey, going through uncountable dangers, Dory’s optimism continually forces Marlin to find the courage to take risks and overcome his fears. In doing so, Marlin gains the ability to trust and believe, like Dory, that things will work out in the end.Struggling against the difficulties and dangers, father and son’s fateful（灾难性的）separation ends in triumph. Marlin finds himself the unlikely hero on this epic journey. And the once-fearful Marlin becomes a true hero in the eyes of his son, and the entire ocean.40. At the beginning of the film, Marlin and Nemo live a _____ life.A. excitingB. fearfulC. quietD. comedic41. Why is Nemo in a fish tank?A. He is protected by his father.B. He is protected by a dentist.C. He would like to leave his father and live with a dentist.D. He is caught by accident.42. On the journey to save his son, _____ encourage Marlin constantly.A. Dory’s optimismB. his poor sonC. Dory’s fearD. his own epic action43. From the text, we can conclude that _____.A. the story is a tragedyB. the story is a comedyC. it is horror filmD. the film is not suitable for children to seeCYou have heard of Webster toys. Websters have made good safe and interesting toys for more than a hundred years. Now we sell them, and children play with them, in countries from new Zealand to Norway, and from Japan to Brazil. We are looking for someone to sell our toys in the Far East. He (She) will be between the ages of thirty and forty. He will already have some years of selling in world markets behind him.

So he put forty-six African bees with some Brazilian bees. The bees bred and made a new kind of bee. But the new bees were a mistake. They did not want to make more honey. They wanted to attack. Then, by accident, twenty-six African bees escaped and bred with the Brazilian bees outside.Scientists could not control the problem. The bees spread. They went from Brazil to Venezuela. Then they went to Central America. Now they are in North America. They travel about 390 miles a year. Each group of bees, or colony (群体), grows four times a year. This means one million new colonies every five years.Why are people afraid of killer bees? People are afraid for two reasons. First, the bees sting (刺痛、蜇) many more times than a normal bee. Killer bees can sting sixty times a minute non-stop for two hours. Second, killer bees attack in groups. Four hundred bee stings can kill a person.Already several hundred people are dead. Now killer bees are in Texas. In a few years they will spread all over the United States. People can do nothing but wait.48. A scientist in Brazil wanted bees _____.A. to go to Central AmericaB. to grow four times a yearC. to make more honeyD. to breed with Brazilian bees outside49.

Because they sting more and attack in groups.C. Because they won’t make any honey.D. Because each group of bees grows four times a year.EHeavier people are more likely to be killed or seriously injured in car accidents, than lighter people, according to new research.That could mean car designers will have to build in new safety features. In the US, car makers have already had to redesign air bags so they inflates (膨胀) to lower pressures, making them less of a danger to smaller women and children.A study carried out in Seattle, Washington, looked at more than 26,000 people who had been involved in car crashes, and found that heavier people were at far more risk. People weighing between 100 and 119 kilograms are almost two-and-a-half times as likely to die in a crash as people weighing less than 60 kilograms.While they do not yet know why this is the case, it is well worth studying, says Charles Mock, a doctor in Seattle, who led the research team. He thinks one answer may be for safety authorities (当局) to use heavier crash-test dummies (假人) when testing cars as safe to drive.The reasons for the higher injury and death rates are far from clear. Mock says that the inside of the car might not be suitably designed for heavy people. Besides, obese (肥胖的) people, with health problems such as high blood pressure or other diseases, could be finding it tougher to recover from injury.Richard Kent, an expert at the University of Virginia, thinks the new research has shown a connection between obesity and serious injury or death.People who are obese might also be at risk because seat belts do not hold them as safely in a crash.52. In USA air bags _____.A. are not designed for thin peopleB. might hurt smaller women or childrenC. are being replaced by new onesD. don’t have enough pressure inside53. Which of the following has no connection with obesity?A. Higher injury and death rate in traffic accidents.B. More health problems.C. Serious injury and death in life.D. Difficulty in recovering from a traffic injury.54. The reason why heavy people get injured or killed more easily in a traffic accident _____.A. is not clearly known yetB. is clearly known to expertsC. lies in the safety beltD. lies in the air bag55. What’s the main idea of the text?A. Heavy people and light people.B. More heavier people than lighterpeopleC. Obesity and risk in driving. C.

ASpring is just around the corner，but if you are tired of sunflowers，tulips（郁金香）and other standard gardens，why not head to one of these mysterious and wonderful botanical gardens？Butchart Gardens，British Columbia，CanadaOne of the rarest flowers you'll find at Butchart Gardens is the Meconopsis，otherwise known as the Tibetan blue poppy．The most impressive flowers can be found in the borders，where you'll find over one million bedding plants．And although the gardens are famous for their perennials（多年生植物），300，000 spring-flowering plants are grown every year，and over 900 varieties of plants are grown．for the summer gardens alone．Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden，Cape Town，South AfricaKirstenbosch National Botanical Garden is one of a handful of botanic gardens to grow only native plants．Some of the most popular varieties include the king protea，which produces enormous flowers between autumn and summer，and the rare silver tree，a silky-leaved plant，which experts believe could become extinct in the next 50 years．Denver Botanic Gardens，Colorado，USOnce native to South Africa，these oddly-named flowers are famously drought-hardy，making them perfect for this part of North America．This garden is one of the few to focus on draught-tolerant plants from Colorado and the grasslands of Africa，Mongolia and Argentina．In fact，Colorado is home to nine species of endangered plant，and several can be found here．Arctic-Alpine Botanic Garden，Tromso，NorwayVisit the world's northernmost·botanical garden and you'll find a breathtaking collection of plants from the world's polar and mountainous regions including，in the Himalaya section，the rare giant Tibetan blue poppy，with its huge flowers and metre-high stem．You'll also see the Wilander buttercup，which can only．be found in the quite terrible areas of Svalbard's unforgiving icy islands．1．Which botanical garden only plants local species？A．Arctic-Alpine Botanic Garden．B．Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden．C．Butchart Gardens．D．Denver Botanic Gardens．2．Which is typical of the Tibetan blue poppy？A．Rare and hot-tolerant．B．Smelly and ill-looking．C．Large and tall．D．Endangered and colorful．3．What is the purpose of the text？A．To analyze the features of plants．B．To make an advertisement．C．To protect the endangered plants．D．To introduce some fantastic gardens．BI am a strong believer that if a child is raised with approval，he learns to love himself and will be successful in his own way．Several weeks ago，I was doing homework with my son in the third grade and he kept standing up from his chair．I kept asking him to sit down，telling him that he would concentrate better．He sat but seconds later，as if he didn't even notice he was doing it，he got up again．I was getting angry，but then it hit me：I started noticing his answers-were much quicker and right when he stood up．Could he concentrate better while standing up？This made me start questioning myself and what I had been raised to believe．I grew up to believe that a quiet child was more likely to succeed．This child would have．the ability to study hard，get good grades and become someone important in life．Kids that were active and loud would only be losers．Now people perhaps come to realize that their kids are born with their own sets of DNA，and all they can do is loving and accepting them．As parents，throughout their growing years and beyond that，we need to guide them and help them find their way．I have stopped asking my son to sit down and concentrate．Clearly，he is concentrating，just in his own way and not mine．We need to accept our kids，and their ways of doing things．There is nothing sweeter than seeing our children being themselves．It makes us happy and that's just the way I want my kids to live a happy life．4．The author tried to keep his son seated so that _______．A．he could pay more attention to his studyB．he could keep silent in the roomC．he could finish his homework on timeD．he couldn't disturb the author5．Encouraged by the example of his son，the author began to doubt _______．A．the importance of parents B．the love between kids and their parentsC．the good grades of some kids D．the old education concepts6．What does the author think of teaching children？A．Encouragement is important．B．Children shouldn't be punished．C．Children can't be taught in the same way．D．Children should be taught to behave themselves．7．In the opinion of the author，children should _______．A．have no freedom B．have their own styleC．learn from their friends D．be friendly to their parentsCRichard is a very a successful businessman．It is common for him to work hard with a non-stop．He wasn't aware that he might wear himself out or die an early death until he overslept one morning，which was a sort of alarm．And then what happened？He had a week's leave during which time he read novels，listened to music and walked with his wife on a beach，which has enabled Richard to return to work again．In our modern life，we have lost the rhythm between action and rest．Amazingly，within this world there is a universal but silly saying：“I am so busy．”We say this to one another as if our tireless efforts，were a talent by nature and an ability to successfully deal with stress．The busier we are，the more important we seem to ourselves and，we imagine，to others．To be unavailable to our friends and family，and to be unable to find time to relax - this has become the model of a successful life．Because we do not rest，we lose our way．We miss the guide telling us where to go，the food providing uswith strength，the quiet giving us wisdom．How have we allowed this to happen？I believe it is this：we have forgotten the Sabbath，the day of the week - for followers of some religions - for rest and praying．It is a day when we are not supposed to work，a time when we devote ourselves to enjoying and celebrating what is beautiful．It is a good time to bless our children and loved ones，give thanks，share meals，walk and sleep．It is a time for us to take a rest，to put our work aside，trusting that there are larger forces at work taking care of the world．Rest is a spiritual and biological need；however，in our strong ambition to be successful and care for our many responsibilities，we may feel terribly guilty when we take time to rest．The Sabbath gives us permission to stop work．In fact，“Remember the Sabbath” is more than simply permission to．rest；it is a rule to obey and a principle to follow．8．What's the function of the paragraph 1？A．To tell us that Richard lives a healthy lifeB．To give us a brief introduction of RichardC．To bring up the topic of the passage．D．To tell Richard is a successful businessman．9．The “alarm” in the first paragraph refers to “ _______”．A．a signal of stress B．a warning of dangerC．a sign of age D．a spread of disease10．According to the passage during the Sabbath，what we should do except _______．A．Enjoying delicious meal．B．Taking a good break．C．Praying for our family．D．Only working for two hours．11．What is the main idea of this passage？A．We should balance work with rest．B．The Sabbath gives us permission to rest．C．It is silly for anyone to say “I am busy”．D．We should be available to our family and friends．DResearchers have developed a wearable device（设备）．It is stretchy（有弹性的）enough that you can wear it like a ring，a bracelet or any other accessory that touches your skin．It also changes the body's temperature into electricity，about 1 volt of energy for every square centimeter of skin space - less voltage per area than what most existing batteries provide but still enough to power electronics like watches or fitness trackers．It can heal itself when damaged and is fully recyclable，making it a cleaner alternative（替代品）to traditional electronics．The innovation（创新）begins with a base made out of a stretchy material called polyamine．The scientists then stick a series of thin heating chips into that base，connecting them all with liquid metal wires．The final product looks like a Cross between a plastic watch and a minicomputer motherboard or maybe a diamond ring．Just pretend that you're out for a jog．As you exercise，your body heats up，and that heat will radiate out to the cool air around you．The device catches that flow of energy instead of letting it go to waste．A person taking a quick walk could use a device the size of a typical sports wristband to produce about 5 volts of electricity，which is more than what many watch batteries can hold．The new devices are as stretchy as biological tissue．If your device tears，for example，you can put together the broken ends，and they'll seal back up in just a few minutes．Researchers are trying to make their devices as cheap and reliable as possible，while also having as close to zero effect on the environment as possible．While there are still problems to work out in the design，they think that the devices could appear on the market in a few years．12．Which of the following statements is false about the device？A．It can repair itself．B．It can be recycled．C．It can evaluate itself．D．It can transform energy．13．How can a wearer make the device produce electricity？A．By shaking it fast．B．By leaving it in the cool air．C．By connecting it with watch batteries．D．By giving out heat．14．What do the researchers think about the devices？A．They will have a bright future．B．They will be expensive．C．They can not be damaged by force．D．They are completely environment-friendly．15．What is the best title for the text？A．An Innovation in wearable DevicesB．A Great Exercise CompanionC．A New Function of Traditional ElectronicsD．A Biological Battery in the Human Body第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

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 trashcan（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.4．What did Rashid plan to do after his arrival in Sydney?A．Go shopping B．Find a house C．Join his family D．Take a vacation 5．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 Sydney6．What does the underlined word “restored” in the last paragraph mean?A．Showed B．Sent out C．Delivered D．Gave back 7．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.CA stay cation is a vacation when you do not travel at all. Some people use a stay cation to just stay at home, and others prefer to experience the attractions around them without travelling very far.There are many choices for staycations. Any town or city has plenty of choices for things to do if you know where to look. If the weather is nice, you can visit the local gardens or forests for a hike. You can look online for several historic places and create your own history tours. Of course, you can also visit other attractions in the areaslike museums, restaurants, parks, beaches and so on.Others take the term “staycation” word for word and do not leave their houses at all. Some choices for this can include taking time off to cook a great meal and enjoy it together, or spending all day at a pool.Just as a coin has two sides, stay cation has both its advantages and risks. Since you are not travelling or staying in a hotel, a stay cation can be unbelievably cheap. You are also saving by not driving very far and by not taking an airplane anywhere. Travel costs have become really expensive, so the farther you go, the more expensive it is. By staying close to home, you cut that cost by quite a bit. Finally, any stress that you feel with travel, whether that is from driving long distance or looking for an airport, will completely disappear.8．What is the purpose of the text?A．To introduce the general information on staycations.B．To compare staycations with other vacations. C．To provide different ways of staycations.D．To advise people to have staycations.9．When taking staycations, people ______.A．usually travel to cities far away B．spend all day eating and sleepingC．visit famous attractions of different cities D．either relax at home or travel near their homes 10．What will probably be discussed in the following paragraph?A．How to have a stay cation safely.B．Why people prefer a staycation.C．What risks a staycation has.D．When to take a staycation.DWang Xiaojun is twelve years old.

The rest of the days we would practice in the pool what we’d learned with our coach. Every day, we had to dress ourselves up in a tight diving suit and a jacket with a heavy steel tank(钢瓶) on the back.This isn’t how most people would imagine spending their vacation at the beach, but we really enjoyed it. Different from snorkeling(浮潜) in a life jacket, we were able to get away and explore underwater, swimming with turtles and other beautiful sea creatures.As US journalist James Nestor wrote in his book Deep(《深海》, 2015), “There are no mobile phones down there, … no car keys to lose, no terrorist threats(恐怖主义威胁)… All the stress, noise, and distractions(烦心事) of life are left at the surface.”The experience also allowed us to get to know ourselves better. We had to pay attention to how we breathed, because even a little bit of difference in the amount of air we breathed in or out could change our buoyancy. By doing so, we started to realize how we’d been taking it for granted(想当然) and had never truly “felt” ourselves breathe.Now I no longer have any doubt about the attraction of diving. In fact, my friends and I are already planning another diving trip, probably to the Red Sea in Egypt. This hobby truly is addictive.36．According to Paragraph 2, the author ________.A．found diving to be boring B．believed diving was a very dangerous sportC．refused to go diving with her friends D．discovered that she really enjoyed scuba diving37．What do we know from the story?A．They enjoyed the sunshine on the beach most of the time.B．They only needed to wear tight life jackets when diving in the sea.C．They learned about and practiced diving for several days before going in the sea.D．They were too nervous underwater to enjoy the beautiful views.38．By quoting Nestor in Paragraph 5, the author wants to show that ________.A．diving is different from snorkeling B．diving is a very relaxing activityC．the ocean is the quietest place in the world D．it is important to control ourbuoyancy39．The underlined word “buoyancy” most probably means ________ in Chinese.A．浮力B．体积C．弹性D．重量40．The author wrote this story mainly to ________.A．teach readers diving skills B．offer advice on where to diveC．share her first diving experience D．show how we can get to know ourselves betterBuilding a better bagYou have to be careful when throwing away wet waste, which may include food or other kinds of garbage. Maybe these kinds of waste have made a big mess when you’ve thrown them away before.Shi Yuan, 14, from Shanghai Wenlai Middle School, has made a special bag to solve this problem. The plastic bag has a band of adhesive tape(粘贴带). When one end of the tape is open, the bag can be turned upside-down. You can hold the bottom end and easily throw wet garbage into a trash can.Shi came up with the idea after an unpleasant experience in which he got wet waste all over his pants while throwing it away. He found that many other people had the same problem. He became determined to solve this issue and invented his special bag.He first thought about using a gunny (麻布) bag or placing a bag break on his trash cans. But neither of these ideas worked. So he decided to just design his own garbage bag. “I didn’t want to put any extra burden (负担) on the bag, so I used adhesive tape,” Shi said.However, the original bag was a one-off product (一次性产品) and not environmentally friendly. So Shi kept on improving his design. He remembered reading about the adhesiveused for Post-it notes (便利贴). Shi thought this weak glue could be used for the adhesive tape and allow the garbage bag to be reused.Shi’s bag has become popular in many communities. He has already sold 2 million bags online. His father is quite proud of him.“Kids like to play. Shi just changed the way he ‘plays’ and put his mind toward exploring a way to make life easier,” Shi’s father said.41．Shi’s bag makes it easier to ________.A．find one-off products B．clean garbage cansC．throw away wet waste D．throw away plastic42．Shi decided to design the bag because ________.A．he thought he could make money B．common waste bags caused him trouble C．he thought plastic bags were too expensive D．he wanted to design a recyclable bag43．The underlined phrase “became determined” is closest in meaning to ________.A．made up his mind B．became worried C．was interestedD．was doubtful44．Paragraph 5 explains ________.A．why Shi used a gunny sack to make the bag B．why Shi’s bag is better thancommon bagsC．how Shi’s bag helped with his problem D．how Shi made his bag environmentally friendly45．What do we know about Shi from the story?A．He won a prize for his own creation.B．He likes to play rather than study.C．His father didn’t support his work.D．His creation has helped a lot of people.It is the year 1026, the time of the Song Dynasty. You are training to become a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) doctor. You are about to take your final exam. What kind of thing will you face?During the Song Dynasty, doctors needed to show they understood meridians (经络)— paths of energy running through the body.If you were the one to take the exam, you would be asked to show how you would treat symptoms (症状) on a life-sized model covered in wax (蜡). Under the wax, the model wouldbe made of bronze (铜), filled with water, and covered in holes running along the meridian paths.You would need to place an acupuncture needle(针灸用的针) into the correct part of a meridian to pass the exam. If you got it right, the needle would go straight through the hole, and water would pour out of the model. If you picked the wrong spot, the needle would hit the bronze model and that would be that — failed.The exams wanted to make sure all young doctors knew how to treat patients by hitting the same correct acupuncture points.The first “bronze man” acupuncture model was made in 1026 by one of the great doctors named Wang Weiyi. Wang also wrote a book that was used across the country to teach how to use the model. Now you can see a copy of one of these bronze men in China’s National Museum.46．Why was there wax on the model?A．Because the model was totally made of wax.B．Because wax stopped the test takers seeing the holes.C．Because wax can protect the model well.D．Because the meridians of the body were covered with wax.47．What would happen if a test taker put his needle into a wrong point?A．The water would pour out of the model.B．There would be one more hole in the bronze model.C．The needle wouldn’t go straight through the hole.D．The hole would be covered with wax.48．From the last paragraph, we learn that ________.A．Wang Weiyi invented the bronze man to test doctors B．Wang Weiyi was ateacher in the Song DynastyC．doctors now still take the bronze man test D．we can’t see any of the bronze men now49．What does the story mainly talk about?A．Why TCM is still popular now.B．The invention of the acupuncture needle C．How doctors in the Song Dynasty treated different symptoms.D．The exam for the TCM doctors in the Song Dynasty.50．The exams mentioned aimed to test ________.A．if the doctors could find acupuncture points correctlyB．how energy ran through a human’s bodyC．if the tester knew how to treat different symptomsD．whether acupuncture worked well in treating a patientLast January, my wife received a 1,000-piece jigsaw (拼图) puzzle as a birthday gift from some dear friends. The puzzle was of a cabin by the lake that looked like the one we live in. We were not sure when we would actually do the puzzle, but it was nice to have it in case the need arose.Then the need arose.On the 16th day of our isolation (隔离), we cut the box open and ceremoniously (郑重地) dumped (倒) the pieces on the table. We knew the drill. We tackled the frame first and then the large objects with distinctive lines and colors. My wife primarily used the color and shape of the pieces to solve the puzzle; I relied more heavily on the picture on the box as a guide. And so began our odyssey (漫长的历程) of the puzzle.I came to know every piece of that puzzle more intimately than I have known anything in my life. Some pieces found a home in the puzzle the first time I picked them up. Others hung around for more than a week until the puzzle filled in enough to be properly placed. But once a piece joined the collective (整体), it lost its individuality and blended into the puzzle to complete the picture.What is a jigsaw? First and foremost, it is a puzzle to be solved. But unlike many puzzles, it can be solved eventually with some talent and a sufficient (充足的) reserve (储备) of stubborn determination. In our case, three to four hours a day for 16 days.Ultimately (根本上), a jigsaw puzzle is a testament (证明) to one’s character. You usually complete this time-consuming but ultimately useless task for no better reason than not quitting. I documented the odyssey on Facebook and received both encouragement along the way and hearty congratulations upon our eventual success.So what to do with the completed puzzle? The only reasonable option seemed to be tobreak it up and put it back in the box. It took 16 days to put the puzzle together and only two minutes to tear it apart.Once our pieces were back in the box, it became apparent (显而易见的) that the goal was never to complete the puzzle at all. Rather it was merely a mechanism (方法) to kill time. In this way, jigsaw puzzles are like life itself: It’s all about the journey; the destination is, in fact, of little importance.51．Why did the author and his wife decide to do a jigsaw puzzle?A．Their friends encouraged them to do so.B．They were attracted by the picture on the box.C．They wanted to kill time during isolation.D．They wanted to document it on Facebook.52．What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about?A．How the couple solved the jigsaw puzzle.B．How the couple felt about doing the jigsaw puzzle.C．The support the couple got from friends while doing the jigsaw puzzle.D．The problems the couple came across doing the jigsaw puzzle.53．How did other people respond to the couple’s completion of the puzzle?A．They made fun of their efficiency.B．They were pleased for them.C．They persuaded them to tear it apart.D．They considered it meaningless. 54．What does the author want to tell us from this article?A．It is helpful to do jigsaw puzzles.B．Determination matters in life.C．It takes patience to achieve success.D．The process matters more than the result. 55．What can be the best title for the story?A．A wonderful birthday gift B．How to play with jigsaw puzzlesC．Playing with jigsaw puzzles D．Ways to kill time during isolation四、五选五Whether you will be a doctor or a police officer in the future, there are teachers in your life right now. 56 Of course, you want to thank them.Teachers’ Day is the perfect chance for students around the world to thank their teachers.57In China, Teachers’ Day is on Sept 10. But in the US, teachers have a whole week to celebrate. Teacher Appreciation Week is in the first full week of May every year. 58 Now, they bring gifts with pictures of apples, such as mugs, picture frames and teddy bears. Some students also make DIY gifts for their teachers. During the week, school clubs often offer teachers free breakfast or a cup of coffee.South Korea’s Teachers’ Day is on May 15. Many students offer carnations (康乃馨)to their teachers. 59 Thousands of students prepare personalized cards and give them to their favorite teachers.Although different countries have different Teachers’ Days, there’s one day for the whole world to honor teachers. On Oct 5 of every year, over 100 countries, such as Canada and the Philippines, express their thanks by celebrating World Teachers’ Day. UNESCO (联合国教科文组织) started the day in 1994. 60A．Cards are also a traditional gift.B．The festival falls on different days in different countries.C．It wants to remind people of the importance of the teachers.D．They teach you and help you to know who you are.E．Kids used to bring apples for their teachers because apples are healthy.五、用单词的适当形式完成短文阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

While tutoring with the adult literacy(识字)program at my local library, a flyer (传单)for a neighborhood group called Westchester Villages caught my eye. Its main job is about matching aging neighbors with local volunteers who help them in a number of different ways: Making short visits, being a walking partner, or driving to doctors’ appointments and the like.I am happy to offer myself as a responsible person and a comfort to someone who is nervous about their appointment and concerned about getting there safely on time. I’m usually available to stay with the person I’m driving during their visit and accompany them back to my car for the ride home. These drives also can be ideal times for relaxing conversation. I’ve had many discussions with them, discovered many common interests, and heard numerous extended stories of past travels and family histories.I often begin rides by reassuring(使放心)a nervous neighbor by calmly saying, “I know where we’re going, the most direct route, and the best place to park. You’re in good hands with me.” These driving experiences also have afforded me opportunities for reflection and insight. I’ve come to feel united with the neighbors I have come to know, and a keener awareness of the aging process we all share. In living through so much time with them, I realize I’m going through the same stages.A final irony(讽刺)for this movie lover is that I no longer need to go to a darkened theatre and gaze at a big screen in search of high drama. Whether it’s a World War II-era family story or anxiety about current events or good news from a doctor, I experience all from a decidedly front row seat.24．What did the author decide to do during his free time?A．Work for the local library.B．Give rides for aging neighbors.C．Offer neighbors medical care.D．Teach adults in a neighborhood.25．Which of the following can best describe the author?A．Creative and capable.B．Devoted and considerate.C．Talented and hard-working.D．Ambitious and warm-hearted.26．What might the author’s driving experiences remind him of?A．Passengers’ words of comfort.B．The value of conversations.C．A driver’s responsibility.D．His own aging process.27．What can we infer from the last paragraph?A．The author has been anxious about his health.B．The author has no interest in dramas anymore.C．The author has found a new way of experiencing life.D．The author prefers watching movies from a front row.According to a study published by the American Psychological Association, playing an instrument as a child keeps the mind sharper as we age.The study, done at the University of Kansas Medical Center, elected 70 healthy adults between the ages 60 and 83, who were divided into groups based on their levels of musical experience. The musicians performed better in several cognitive(认知的) tests than individuals who had never studied an instrument or learned how to read music. The brain functions measured by the tests tend to go worse with age.“Musical activity throughout life may serve as a challenging cognitive exercise, making your brain fitter and more capable of meeting the challenges of aging,” said lead researcher Brenda Hanna-Pladdy. “Since studying an instrument requires years of practice and learning, it may create connections in the brain that could make up for cognitive drop as we get older.”“Music-making is connected to a number of health benefits for older adults,” said Suzanne Hanser, chair of the music treatment department at the Berklee College of Music in Boston. “Research shows that making music can lower blood pressure, slow heart rate, reduce stress, and ease anxiety. There is also increasing evidence that making music enhances the immunological(免疫)response, which enables us to fight disease,” Hanser said. Hanser said that anyone, without considering age or ability, can make music and benefit from it.“People are not only living longer these days; they want to remain healthy and active for as long as possible,” said Antoinette Follett, editor-in-chief of “Making Music” magazine. “Plus, there is an increasing focus in the medical community on the need to keep the brain as healthy as the body. This focus is as much about making the empty nest and retirement years fun and worthwhile as it is about preventing debilitating dementias(衰弱性痴呆) such as Alzheimer’s disease. Music making is able to do both.”28．Among 4 healthy adults below, who might perform better in the cognitive tests?A．A senior who used to teach reading.B．An aged man who knew a musician.C．A grandpa who often listened to music.D．An old lady who enjoyed playing the guitar.29．What does the underlined word “enhances” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A．Disables.B．Frees.C．Improves.D．Operates. 30．What can we conclude according to the passage?A．Brain functions go worse with age.B．Learning music is able to stop aging.C．Music is beneficial to brain and body.D．Playing an instrument can fight diseases.31．In which part of a newspaper could this article probably be found?A．Culture.B．Art.C．Medicine.D．Health.三、语法填空32．Whether pollution is directly linked to the disease is under (discuss).(所给词的适当形式填空)33．His confidence built up gradually as he (gain) more and more experience in teaching.

The area is also famous for its gold dealers, and there are lots of gold shops along the road.MauritiusFound in Port Louis, this Mauritian Chinatown shows the island nation’s rich multicultural diversity. Built in the early years of the 20th century by settlers from China, its tiny shops and restaurants serve locals and visitors.
