When will the stadium open?A. At 6:10 p.m.B. At 8:30 p.m.C. At 5:00 p.m.D. At 8:10 a.m.2. Which transport means can you take for free?A. Rail buses.B. Trains.C. Shuttles.D. Queensland Rail.3. Who is this passage written for?A. Businessmen.B. Audiences.C. Passengers.D. Tourists.BIn Shakespeare’s HAMLET, Polonius asks the prince, “What are you reading, my Lord?” Hamlet replies, “Words, words, words.” Either, as is likely, Hamlet wasn’t interested in what he was reading, or, less likely, he didn’t understand the words he was reading. In this case, Polonius should have lent Hamlet a good dictionary.Dictionaries are essential tools for people who like to read. There are so many words in English that even the most educated person will sometimes meet an unfamiliar word and have to look it up. Languages keep changing, too, with new words constantly being added and new meanings being applied to old words. For example, the 12th edition of Xinhua Dictionary, the most popular dictionary in China, has added new words such as “chu xin” “fen si” “er wei ma” etc. As for new meanings, “girl” once meant “a small child of either sex”. And “naughty” didn’t mean youwere “enjoying playing tricks”; it meant you were poor.A printed dictionary can’t keep pace with all the changes, which is why most dictionaries have websites and apps to help you keep up-to-date. However, I still prefer printed dictionaries because they give you more definitions and more examples of how a word is used. Even a simple word, such as “set”, has 430 meanings (the most of English words) but an online dictionary would only offer two or three. A printed dictionary also gives you the opportunity to discover new words as you run your finger down the page looking for the word you want.There is no “official” English dictionary, but the Oxford English Dictionary is considered to be the best. For English language learners, however, I would recommend the Collins COBUILD Dictionary for Advanced Learners. Hamlet, by the way, was Danish and a college student. He would have appreciated the Collins Dictionary to help himself with his words, words, words. This dictionary has over 40,000 words and gives you full-sentence definitions with good examples of how words are used.4. What’s the function of paragraph 1?A. To introduce the topic.B. To let the readers know more about HAMLET.C. To arouse readers’ interest in Shakespeare.D. To explain when it’s necessary to use a dictionary.5. Why does the author mention “girl” in paragraph 2?A. To show how powerful Xinhua Dictionary is.B. To support the idea: languages keep changing.C. To prove new words are being added to dictionaries.D. To imply “girl” also means “boy” in some cases.6. What’s the author’s attitude to printed dictionaries?A. Favorable.B. Ambiguous.C. Negative.D. Critical.7. What’s the author’s purpose of writing the last paragraph?A. To introduce the history of dictionaries.B. To call on learners to use dictionaries.C. To recommend Collins Dictionary.D. To explain why Hamlet likes Collins.CThere’s been a frightening increase in the number of people feeling lonely, brought on or made worse by COVID-19. In fact there’s been an epidemic (流行病) of loneliness.Loneliness is awful and dangerous. For one thing it weakens self-control and that, University of Bristol researchers have found, makes quitting smoking very difficult. Moreover, data from hundreds of thousands of people led Dr. Robyn Wootton, senior research associate at Bristol University and colleagues to conclude that loneliness appears to increase the need to smoke.According to the Office for National Statistics, the equivalent of 7.4 million people said their wellbeing was affected through feeling lonely in the first month of lockdown. Lonely people were also more likely to be struggling to find things that would help them cope and were also less likely to feel they had support networks to fall back on.Dr. Robyn Wootton said, “We found evidence to suggest that loneliness leads to increased smoking, with people more likely to start smoking, to smoke more cigarettes and to be less likely to quit.” Senior author Dr. Jorien Treur from Amsterdam UMC added, “Our finding that smoking may also lead to more loneliness is tentative (不确定的), but it is in line with other recent studies that identified smoking as a risk factor for poor mental health. A potential explanation for this relationship is that nicotine from cigarette smoke has a great impact on neurotransmitters (神经传导物质) such as dopamine (多巴胺) in the brain.”Dr. Wootton said with millions of people now being more socially separated, incidences of loneliness will climb. “We were really interested to find that loneliness decreases the likelihood of stopping smoking and we think this is a really important consideration for those trying to stop smoking during COVID-19,” she said. To ease your loneliness and improve your chances of succeeding in quitting, I think one of the best things you can do is to find a “buddy” who’ll try to give up smoking with you. Together you can compare notes, share progress, talk through difficulties, and encourage each other to keep on going when all you want is to give in.8. What can we infer from paragraph 3?A. Lonely people tend to seek something to deal with loneliness.B. Lockdown do more damage to physical than mental health.C. People suffering from loneliness often turn to others for help.D. Self-control is the most important thing to overcome loneliness.9. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 4 refer to?A. Evidence.B. Smoking.C. Loneliness.D. Finding.10. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. Millions of people failed the attempt to stop smoking.B. A good way to stop smoking is to get a like-minded person.C. Smoking is not advocated officially during COVID-19.D. Those who want to quit smoking need to find good habits.11. Which of the following could be the best title for the text?A. Health Problems Caused by COVID-19B. Opinions on How to Give Up SmokingC. Some Ways in Which Loneliness Harm YouD. Loneliness Makes it Hard to Quit SmokingDWe may be wishing some memories could last a lifetime, but a large quantity of physical and emotional factors can have a negative impact on our ability to keep the information throughout our whole life. A new study which had been published in the journal Psychological Science found that people who feel enthusiastic and cheerful — what psychologists call “positive effect” — are less likely to experience memory decline as they get older. This result adds to a growing body of research on the role of positive effect on healthy aging.A team of researchers analyzed data from about 991 middle-aged and elderly U.S. adults who participated in a national study conducted in three periods: between 1995 and 1996, 2004 and 2006, and 2013 and 2014. In each assessment, participants reported on a wide range of positive emotions they had experienced during the past 30 days. In the final two assessments, participants also completed tests of memory performance. These tests consisted of recalling words immediately after their presentation and again 15 minutes later.The researchers examined the association between positive effect and memory decline, which accounts for age, gender, education, depression, and negative effect.“Our findings have clearly showed that memory declined with people becoming older,” saidClaudia Haase, an associate professor at Northwestern University and senior author on the paper. “However, individuals with higher levels of positive effect had a less steep memory decline over the course of almost a decade,” added Emily Hittner, a PhD graduate of Northwestern University and the paper’s lead author. Areas of future research might address the pathways that could connect positive effect and memory, such as physical health or social relationships.12. What can we infer from paragraph 1?A. Our memory can last for a lifetime.B. Enthusiasm can make people healthier.C. Positive people can have a much better memory.D. Physical and emotional factors can better memory.13. Who might have participated in the study?A. Old people.B. Young teenagers.C. Small kids.D. Lovely babies.14. What will the scientists research in the future?A. How to make people live healthily and long.B. Association between being positive and memory.C. How to make people have a good physical and mental health.D. Connection between physical health and mental health.15. Where is this text most likely from?A. A report.B. A guidebook.C. A brochure.D. A magazine.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。

2024-2025学年度第一学期高一英语期中考试卷试卷满分：100分第一部分阅读理解(共20 小题;每小题2.5 分，满分50 分)第一节阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C 和D 四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

AHere are some pet-friendly universities in the UK and US.University of IllinoisStudents are allowed up to two pets in each apartment, as well as a fish tank of no more than 50 gallons.To keep a pet, you will need to get approval from the Family & Graduate housing department at the University of Illinois. You will have to provide proof that your pet is up to date with its vaccinations(疫苗), and pay a monthly US$30 pet fee, which is non-refundable(不可退款的).Your pet can’t be left for extended periods of time, and if there’s evidence that you’ve left it alone due to vacation or illness, the university may remove it.Harvard UniversityWith as many as 12 pet-friendly apartments, Harvard is a very pet-friendly university. It allows students to have fish in a tank of no more than 50 gallons, except for Harvard’s Cronkhite Graduate Center.In Harvard’s pet-friendly apartments, you’re allowed: one cat or one dog, which can’t be over 40 pounds when fully grown. At most, two pet birds.University of British Columbia Students can take advantage of the university’s B．A．R. K program, which uses the calming power of therapy dogs to help them.B．A．R. K started at the University of British Columbia, after an assistant professor called Dr. John-Tyler Binfet noticed that he couldn’t walk across campus without students running over to play with his dog, Frances. The students told him they were homesick and missed their pets, which encouraged Binfet to establish B．A．R. K as a way of fighting their loneliness.University of OxfordThe University of Oxford is famous for its resident pets, who happily wander around college grounds. Many Oxford colleges have their own tortoise and take part in the annual Corpus Christi tortoise race.Although you are not allowed to keep your own pet as a student, several Oxford colleges hold dog petting and walking therapy sessions.1．What is one of the rules for keeping pets at the University of Illinois?A．Pet keepers should pay a monthly US$ 30 pet fee which will be returned.B．Pets can’t be left alone in the apartments due to vacation or illness.C．Students have to keep fish in a fish tank of no more than 20 gallons.D．The cat or dog can’t be over 40 pounds when fully grown.2．Why did Dr. John-Tyler Binfet start B．A．R. K?A．To help students to fight against homesickness.B．To do research on dogs and train them to be pets.C．To help more professors to do exercise on campus.D．To give assistance to the pet dogs by offering them foods.3．Which university doesn’t allow students to keep pets?A．Harvard University. B．University of Oxford.C．University of Illinois. D．University of British Columbia.BA survey by the American Psychological Association shows that one in ten adults reads online news at least once an hour. A lot has been written about the mental health influence from news addiction, and in particular from reading negative reports. Just like junk food, “junk” news can be bad for our health.In recent years, things have been getting increasingly more negative. A study of the content of New Zealand’s largest newspaper showed that while in 1973 the average number of stories about death on the front page was 0.75, by 2013 it was 4.1(and no, there weren’t five times more people dying).What’s more, online news, and the stories we read on mobile phones in particular, tend to be even more negative than print. A 2019 study of 50 U.S. newspapers showed that mobile versions of newspapers report three times more stories about disasters and accidents than paper ones.Such negative reports lead people to believe that things are worse than they really are. They can lead to stress, worry and lower spirits.Experiments also suggest that loneliness and poor relationships have been connected with reading negative reports. After reading negative reports, people are less likely to help others. Even worse, when we check news on smart phones, we may “phub” our loved ones, which leads to lower relationship satisfaction.Negative reports attract our attention far more than positive ones. That’s a global happening. I hope, however, that if we realize that negative news is spoiling our moods, we might all be more willing to change. 4．Why is “junk food” mentioned in the first paragraph?A．To entertain readers.B．To introduce the topic.C．To make an advertisement.D．To keep readers away from it.5．What can we learn about the study in Paragraph 2?A．The death rate in New Zealand is very high.B．Print newspapers have become less popular.C．Stories about death have become less popular.D．Negative reporting has been increasing over years. 6．What may negative reports lead people to do?A．Live a hopeful life.B．Become more careful.C．Become less likely to help others.D．Pay more attention to their physical health.7．What does the underlined word “phub” in Paragraph 5 mean?A．Ignore B．Hate C．Laugh at D．Care about8．Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A．A Survey on News Reading Habits B．Negative Effects of Mobile PhonesC．Is Online News Better Than Print?D．Is Junk News a Danger to Health?CThere was once a boy called Mario who loved to have lots of friends at school. However, he wasn’t sure whether or not his classmates were his true friends, so he asked his grandpa. The old man answered, “I have just exactly what you need; it’s in the attic (阁楼). Wait here for a minute.”Grandpa left, soon returning as though carrying something in his hand, but Mario could see nothing there. “Take it. It’s a very special chair. Because it’s invisible (无形的) it’s rather difficult to sit on, but if you take it to school and you manage to sit on it, you’ll be able to tell who your true friends are.”Mario took the strange invisible chair and went to school. At break time he asked everyone to form a circle, and he put himself in the middle, with his chair. “Nobody move. You’re about to see something amazing,” Mario said.Then Mario tried sitting on the chair. He missed and fell straight onto his backside. Everyone had a pretty good laugh. Mario wouldn’t be beaten. He kept trying to sit on the magic chair, and kept falling to theground... until, suddenly, he tried again and didn’t fall. This time he sat, hovering (悬停) in mid-air.Looking around, Mario saw George, Lucas, and Diana — three of his best friends — holding him up, so he wouldn’t fall. At the same time, many others he had thought of as friends were doing nothing but make fun of him, enjoying each and every fall.Leaving with his three friends, Mario explained to them how his grandpa had so cleverly thought of such a good idea. Now he knows that those who take joy in our misfortunes (不幸) when we are in difficulty are not our true friends.9．What did Mario’s grandpa take from the attic?A．An invisible chair.B．An old chair.C．A real chair.D．Nothing.10．Why did Mario’s grandpa give him the invisible chair?A．To see whether Mario could sit on it. B．To test who were Mario’s true friends.C．To let Mario have fun with his classmates.D．To test whether Mario was popular at school. 11．How was Mario able to hover in mid-air?A．He saw the invisible chair suddenly. B．He managed to sit on the chair finally.C．His friends held him up with their hands. D．His classmates gave him a chair to sit on.12．What does the story tell us?A．Never laugh at our friends. B．True friends can help us do magic.C．True friends are those who care for us. D．Having too many good friends isn’t a good thing.DSure, it’s good to get along well with your teacher because it makes the time you spend in the classroom more pleasant.And yes, it’s good to get along well with your teacher because, in general, it’s smart to learn how to get along well with the different types of people you’ll meet throughout your life.In fact, kids who get along well with their teachers not only learn more, but they’re more comfortable with asking questions and getting extra help. This makes it easier for them to understand new materials and makes them do their best on tests. When you have this kind of relationship with a teacher, he or she can be someone to turn to with problems, such as problems with learning or school issues (问题).Here is a question：What if you don’t get along with your teachers? In fact, teachers want to get along well with you and enjoy seeing you learn. But teachers and students sometimes have personality clashes (个性冲突), which can happen between any two people. If you show your teacher that you want to make the situation better, he or she will probably do everything possible to make that happen. By dealing with a problem like this, you learn something about how to get along with people who are different from you.However if a certain teacher isn’t your favorite, you can still have a successful relationship with him or her especially if you fulfill (履行) your basic responsibilities as a student.Here are some of those responsibilities (责任)：Attend class ready to learn.Be prepared for class with the right stationery, books, and completed assignments (作业).Listen when your teacher is talking.Do your best, whether it’s a classroom assignment, homework, or a test.13．According to the passage, what will happen to you when getting along well with your teachers ?A．We will have no problems with studyB．We will get a better seat in the classroomC．We will get the best scores in the examsD．We will have more pleasant time in the classroom14．What does the underlined word “that” refers to in the fourth paragraph?A．The happy time you have in the classroomB．Getting along very well with classmatesC．A better relationship between you and your teacherD．The disappearance of personality differences15．What does the passage mainly talk about?A．The importance of friendship in schools.B．The importance of a good relationship with your teachers.C．Studying skills for students.D．Useful skills to get along well with your teachers.16．As a student, what will you do if you don’t like a certain teacher ?A．You fulfill (履行) your basic responsibilities as a studentB．You are thought of as a good studentC．You know some basic social skillsD．You are easygoing and helpful第二节七选五(每小题1分，共5分，根据短文内容，选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Umbrellas in the yard are a must while dining in early August, and as for me, I wear my bike helmet while working in the garden.The black walnut also releases a chemical substance through its roots as a competitive strategy. It’s poisonous to several common plants. There have been many new plant varieties tha t I brought home with hopes that maybe the black walnut would accept them, but they failed toflourish.What does work are native plants that naturally grow in the area. Native plants are important to have around since they provide beneficial pollinators (传粉者) like birds, bees and butterflies with seeds and contribute to a healthy and biodiverse environment. Native plants for this area are generally easy to grow, so they experience less stress.Have I thought of getting rid of this giant pain in my tiny backyard? Yes, however, getting rid of this tree standing at 50 feet with an 87-inch trunk is next to impossible. It’s also protected under the law. Rightfully so. Trees are important to the urban forest and for all of those that inhabit it.Sometimes I think about my life without the black walnut. I can’t imagine a spring without the birds who arrive every year and loudly sing their songs before dawn. I’d miss falling asleep on lazy weekend afternoons as I look up into its leaves.Every spring, I wonder what the season holds: What are the chances of being knocked unconscious while barbecuing? Like any good relationship, I’ll never be pleased. I’m stuck with this tree, so I’ll listen to its needs and give it the space it requires. In return, my walnut offers a habitat for wildlife and a reminder.19．Why does the author wear a bike helmet while working in the garden?A. To protect the injured skull.B. To prevent herself from sunburn.C. To avoid being hit by the nuts.D. To reduce the chance of getting bitten by bees.20．What is the tree’s survival strategy?A. It attracts beneficial pollinators.B. It lets out poison to drive away pests.C. It produces a chemical fatal to some plants.D. It competes for nutrition with similar species.21．Which of the following DOESN’T account for the author’s love-hate relationship with the tree?A. The volume of its fruits may bring inconvenience.B. The tree outcompetes the native plants in the garden.C. The tree is home to numerous birds and other creatures.D. The presence of the tree takes up much space of the garden.22．The author most probably got a reminder from the tree that ________.A. it’s better to give than to takeB. trees and plants have their own ways to flourishC. even a good relationship is not always trouble-freeD. acceptance, instead of resistance, is the better way to beCIt was raining like nothing before when Ehdaa Bujeldain, an English teacher living with her family in the mountains of Derna in eastern Libya , heard a loud noise that sounded like an explosion (爆炸). Later they learned that a dam (大坝) in Derna had broken down under the pressure of running water. For the next four days, they had no power or internet, and it was only recently that they started to fully understand of the damage caused by the floods.“Half of the city has been destroyed. My mom’s relatives, my friends, my coworkers ——they are all gone. Now we, the survivors, are just ghost s in shells,” says Bujeldain, whose sadness can be easily told from her blank expression.Five days have passed since the terrible flooding in Derna, Libya’s Red Crescent organization estimated that 11,300 people have died, while the city’s mayor believes the number of deaths could be as high as 20,000.Derna is a coastal city with a seasonal river called the Wadi Derna. Despite the abnormally heavy rain, people living near the river had little warning before the floodwaters came rushing in on that terrible morning. United Nations aid chief Martin Griffiths described the scale of the flood as “appalling” (令人惊骇的) and blamed the flood partly on sudden climate change.Now international aid teams are arriving in Derna, but they face challenges due to damaged roads, lack of access to power, water, and fuel. Tarhoni, doctor of the rescue team, warns that the most difficult weeks lie ahead. “One disaster is done and there is another to come,” he says. “The thousands and thousands of people who lost everything these people now need comfort, they need company, t hey need psychological support.”23．What do we know about Bujeldain’s family from paragraph 1?A. The explosion they heard led to the destruction of the dam.B. Bujeldain saved her family from the floods with her bravery.C. Bujeldain immediately recognized the outbreak of the floods.D. For several days, they didn’t fully realize the seriousness of the floods.24．What does Bujeldain mean by saying they are “just ghosts in shells” in paragraph 2?A. They run out of energy and are very tired.B. They feel lucky as they are safe and sound.C. They are completely saddened and shocked.D. They are sorry for the loss of their homeland.25．According to the passage, which of the following does NOT contribute to the loss of lives?A. The absence of warning.B. The extraordinary rainfall.C. Unexpected climate change.D. The damage to environment.26．What might be the main focus of international aid efforts in Derna?A. Addressing mental problems.B. Providing immediate medical care.C. Conducting climate change research.D. Rebuilding roads and access to resources.DBy the end of the century, if not sooner, the world’s oceans will be bluer and greener thanks to a warming climate, according to a new study.At the heart of the phenomenon lie tiny microorganisms (微生物) in the ocean called phytoplankton. Because of the way light reflects off the organisms, these phytoplankton create colorful patterns at the ocean surface. Ocean color varies from green to blue, depending on the type and concentration of phytoplankton. Climate change will fuel the growth of phytoplankton in some areas, while reducing it in other spots, leading to changes in the ocean’s appearance.Phytoplankton live at the ocean surface, where they pull carbon dioxide into the ocean while giving off oxygen. When these organisms die, they bury carbon in the deep ocean, an important process that helps to regulate (调控) the global climate. But phytoplankton are vulnerable to the ocean’s warming trend. Warming changes key characteristics of the ocean and can affect phytoplankton growth, since they need not only sunlight and carbon dioxide to grow, but also nutrients.Stephanie Dutkiewicz, a scientist in MIT’s Center for Global Change Science, built a climate model that projects changes to the oceans throughout the century. In a world that warms up by 3C, it found that multiple changes to the color of the oceans would occur. The model projectsthat currently blue areas with little phytoplankton could become even bluer. But in some waters, such as those of the Arctic, a warming will make conditions more suitable for phytoplankton, and these areas will turn greener. “Not only are the quantities of phytoplankton in the ocean changing.” she said, “but the type of phytoplankton is changing.”And why does that matter? Phytoplankton are the base of the food web. If certain kinds begin to disappear from the ocean, Dutkiewicz said, “it will change the type of fish that will be able to live on.” Those kinds of changes could affect the food chain.Whatever color changes the ocean experiences in the coming future will probably be too gradual and unnoticeable, but they could mean significant changes. “It’ll be a while before we can statistically show that the changes are happe ning because of climate change,” Dutkiewicz said, “but the change in the color of the ocean will be one of the early warning signals that we really have changed our planet.”27．What are the first two paragraphs mainly about?A. The cause of the changes in ocean color.B. The various patterns at the ocean surface.C. The way light reflects off marine organisms.D. The efforts to fuel the growth of phytoplankton.28．What does the underlined word “vulnerable” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A. beneficialB. sensitiveC. significantD. unnoticeable 29．What can we learn from the passage?A. Dutkiewicz’s model aims to project phytoplankton changes.B. Phytoplankton have been used to control global climate.C. Phytoplankton play a declining role in the ecosystem.D. Oceans with more phytoplankton may appear greener.30．What is the main purpose of the passage?A. To explain the effects of climate change on oceans.B. To assess the consequences of ocean color changes.C. To introduce a new method to study phytoplankton.D. To analyze the organization of the ocean food chain.The Chubby Diaries creator is part of a community of larger-bodied travelers who are showing the world that they can do anything. Following them helps because you can be like, “Oh, this place works with larger bodies.” 31 .Second plane seats and belt extendersSouthwest is one of the few airlines to offer plus-size passengers a free second seat. To ensure the extra space, Southwest recommends booking both seats beforehand, then making a request to get your money back. 32 Southwest states: “The armrest is t he definitive gauge (测量仪) for a customer of size. If you’re unable to lower both armrests, you need a second seat.” Even if your frame fits between the lowered arms, you may still need a seat-belt extender.33 .Finding size nclusive tripsFor Natalie Robinson, ziplining (压缩) in Costa Rica determined her bucket list. “Literally for the last 10 years, that’s all I talked about,” said the co-owner of Fat Girls Travel. 34 . Her fortunes changed completely on an August trip to Costa Rica, when a friend found an outfitter without weight restrictions. The guide said Robinson could dash through the rainforest as long as she could reach the starting point high in the tree tops.35When researching a trip, ask about weight restrictions as well as the availability of equipment that can accommodate your size. If you have concerns, bring your own equipment. Plus-size travelers emphasize the importance of being self-sufficient. Finding special clothes and equipment can be challenging in unfamiliar destinations.A. Pack your own equipmentB. Find supportive travel groups and tripsC. Their extra efforts are paying off as they discover how to travel comfortably andconfidentlyD. Ziplining provides much convenience for those fat girlsE. Many airlines use the armrests to determine whether a passenger requires more spaceF. Air-lines provide this extra piece of equipment free, and you can request it at the time ofboardingG. But ziplining generally has a weight limit, so she hadn’t been able to do itYou might say I found marathoning, step by step. Or perhaps it found me. I was 36 an athlete growing up. In fact, I have a hard time 37 that term to myself even today.It started when I joined a group of women in my neighborhood for a daily three-mile walk. At first it was 38 . But soon, my body adjusted and I wanted 39 . Before long, I was running 5 miles. Then I set a goal to run a half marathon. And I did complete the Covered Bridges Half Marathon. I thought, “Now what?” I started to 40 a marathon.It so happened that I 41 a meeting one night and listened to the speaker and coach, Rick Muhr, and was so 42 by his words. I told him that I had signed up for the Ocean State Marathon, just a week away, and that I really didn’t believe I could 43 . Rick locked eyes with me and said, “Trish, you’ve done enough training. You’ll finish!”I never had someone 44 me like that, let alone a real, live coach. He gave me the45 I needed. I set out to run my 46 marathon and completed it in 4:25:00. Little did I know that this would be the beginning of nearly a decade of marathon and distance running. Running a marathon isn’t for everybody. But it is for anybody, anybody who wants to47 the unreachable and to take that 48 into the rest of their life.

I landed in Vietnam before I could find answers to these questions. But it soon happened that the richest stage of my life was when I was in Vietnam.l USD will give you a handful of 21,000 VND (越南盾). When I visited, it was somewhere around 26,000. You have currency notes (纸币) of 100,000, 200,000, 500,000. A trip to market would cost you 200,000 and taxi charge would be 500,000 where I held 50 Lakh (十万) worth the money in single hand and felt rich.On my first day in client (客户) office, I realized this is the place I wanted to be. I entered the client’s office at 12:40 and saw someone sleeping on his desk. Then in the next room many more people were sleeping. I wondered whether I stepped into a dormitory (宿舍) by mistake!Later I came to know that their lunch time is from 12:00 to 2:00 and during that time they can officially sleep. This afternoon break is supposed to be for increasing productivity.We went for sight-seeing to a scenic place called “Perfume Pagoda”, organized by one of few tourist operators who speak English. At lunch, I asked them for vegetarian food as I’m a vegetarian.Here came the question, “Vegetarian? What does that mean?” As that was the first time I was posted with such question, I told him that I eat only vegetables and fruits.Once he shared this information with cooks in the restaurant, I understood how zoo animals would feel. They looked at me as a different species and handed me a full uncut cabbage for lunch!4. How did the author probably feel at first about the trip to Vietnam?A. Excited.B. Unwilling.C. Careless.D.

But big cats and highways do not mix, which is why Los Angeles will soon be home to one of the world’s biggest wildlife corridors (走廊). Last month the governor of California, Gavin Newsom launched construction.The cats in question are mountain lions. They live in the Santa Monica Mountains. Their numbers are unchanging. Their habitat is mostly natural wilderness, full of deer, the lions food. The ecology (生态) of their home, the largest city national park in the world, is healthy. Yet animals can be in danger without habitat loss. Genetic degradation (基因退化) can be just as deadly.Cutting through the mountains is Route 101, carrying up to 1000 vehicles an hour. It cuts the Santa Monica range off from a larger wilderness to the north. The southern area is not big enough for all the lions. The result is a population trapped with inbreeding and genetic degradation.Four years after that study came the first evidence (证据) that the big cats were suffering physical damage. In the early 1990s biologists studying the Florida panther a closely related animal, found that many of the males had the same genetic shortcomings. The Florida panther escaped extinction only thanks to the introduction of females brought from Texas to refresh the gene pool.California does not need to go that far. There are healthy mountain-lion populations north of the Santa Monica range separated by the road. Hidden cameras show the animals waited at the side of the highway, not daring to cross. The solution is a 165-foot-wide dirt bridge which would allow them to walk high over the traffic.The animals become sexually mature (成熟) at 2½to 3 years and have babies every other year. So within ten years of the corridor’s completion the great-grandchildren of the firs mating beyond the mountains could have babies. Genetically, even a few matings would make a difference. “We’ll definitely save the mountain lion,” thinks Paul Edelman of the Mountain Recreation and Conservation Authority (MRCA). “It’s just a matter of how long it takes.”8. What can we know about the corridor?A. It is being constructed by MRCA.B. It will take about ten years to complete.C. It is supported by the governor of California.D. It will be the world’s biggest wildlife corridor.9. Why can mountain lions be in danger?A. They lack food.B. Their genes are becoming worse.C. Their habitat is lost.D. They are being hunted without limit.10. What’ the solution to the problem with mountain lions?A. Making laws to protect their habitat.B. Introducing females from other states.C. Setting up more national parks for them.D. Building a dirt bridge for them to cross Route 101.11. Where con we probably find the text?A. In a textbook.B. In a novel.C. In a travel guide.D. In a science magazine.DA broken heart. A sad ending to a love affair. That’s something most of us have experienced, or probably will After all, it’s part of human life. But no question, the experience can be serious. You might find yourself listening more to sad music, sad songs, or worse, that you’ve been into a sense of hopelessness about life itself.You might feel a sadness, as in Neil Young’s Only Love Can Break Your Heart, or the pain of a lyric (歌词) from Bob Dylan’s Love Sick: “I’m sick of love, I wish I’d never met you.”But research shows there are pathways through the heartache. Listening to sad music is a major one. It can help you begin to feel joy and hopefulness about your life again. It can activate empathy (共鸣) and the desire to connect with others both pathways through the prison of heartache and sadness.That may sound paradoxical (相悖的). Especially if you listen to melancholy music, like Marianelli’s Farewell, or to popular songs and there are plenty of them, across decades and generations: Billie Eilish’s When The Parry’s Over in our present times R.E.M.’s Everybody Hurts, from the 90s.New research finds that and music can help heal (治愈) and uplift you from your broken heart. For example, a recent study from Germany found the emotional impact of listening to and music in a call of feeling of empathy and a desire for positive connection with others. That itself, in psychologically (心理的) healing.The finding links with other studies that show accepting your bad situation emotionally accepting reality as it is stirs healing and growth beyond it. In short, accepting your experience mouses hope. For example, research from Cornell University, described here a published in Psychological Science found that accepting discomfort about a life experience or new situation, and viewing it is a step towards growth and change creates power to find a pathway through it, beyond it.12. What can we learn about listening to sad music?A. It breaks your heart completely.B. It makes you feel hopeless and lonely.C. it can send you to the prison of sadness.D. It’s an important pathway through the heartache.13. What does the underlined word “melancholy” in Paragraph 4 mean?A. Sad.B. Popular.C. Light.D. Peaceful14. What should you do when in sad situations according to the last paragraph?A. Accept reality as it is.B. Turn to a psychologist for help.C. Read some books about psychology.D. Get fully prepared and make big changes.15. What’s the best title for the text?A. The Importance of MusicB. How to Heal a Broken HeartC. The Sad Music’s Effect on HeartacheD.

He must have drowned.Now with only one bookshop in town,business was better for George.But sometimes he sat in his narrow,old kitchen and gazed out of the dirty window,thinking about his formal rival(竞争对手). Perhaps he missed him?George was very interested in old dictionaries.He’d recently found a collector in Australia who was selling a rare first edition.When the parcel arrived,the book was in perfect condition and George was delighted.But while he was having lunch,George glanced at the photo in the newspaper that the book had been wrapped in.He was astonished—the smiling face was older than he remembered but unmistakable! Trembling,George started reading.“Bookends have bought ten bookstores from their rivals Dylans.The company,owned by multi-millionaire Richard Pike,is now the largest bookseller in Australia.”60.George

ConditionsLaj amanu,Australia,is a dry little town,sitting right on the edge of the Tanami desert.Can you imagine how surprised people were when live fish rained down on them from a darkgray cloud.It happens that there are similar cases in England and Honduras.How do clouds make fishy?The simple answer is that they don’t.There is a particular weather phenomenon(现象)called a waterspout.A waterspout is just like a tornado（龙卷风）,only it forms above oceans,lakes,or rivers.Like a tornado,a waterspout moves in a circle at high speeds.When it moves above the water,it tends to carry the fish with it,as well as frogs orother small plants or animals.Scientists couldn’t work it out at first.To make matters stranger still,the fish in Honduras were very much alive when they rained down to the ground,but they were all blind.In England and Australia,it rained fish and snakes,and none were blind.It was difficult to puzzle out,but the blind fish gave them a place to start.Scientists knew that some fish that lived in deep,underground caves with no light sources often lost their eyesight.So when blind fish rained down on Honduras,scientists began toconnect some clues（线索，提示）.Clearly,these particular fish were pulled from an underground water sourceby force.It has rained fish on every continent,and each time,people have tried in various ways to explain this strange phenomenon.Historically,villagers thought the“fishes from the heavens”might be answers to prayers（祈祷）for food.Others suggested that floods overran river banks and oceans,leaving the fish on the city streets.No scientist had actually seen the rain as it occurred, only the fish left on the ground.But in1990,a National Geographic team happened to be in Honduras when the Rain of Fishes began.They recorded what was happening and made historyby finally proving that the fish really did fall from the sky.This huge breakthrough wasn’t just a spot of good luck.It changed thousands of yearsof myths（虚构的事；谬论）and legends into true stories and provided scientific explanations for how fish came to live in deep caves.It explained ancient cave paintings and cast（投射光线）new light on how species have spread over time.It turned out to be a lot more than just a little fishy weather.68.According to the passage,a waterspout________.A.can make animals blindB.is difficult to catch on filmC.can carry items（物品）with itD.is a dangerous sea creature69.The blind fish made the scientists start to think that________.A.raining fish was a warning of natural disastersB.animals changed to match their environmentsC.the weather system differed from place to placeD.the waterspout theory seemed more possible70.The first sentence in the last paragraph probably suggests that________.A.waterspouts came to be a center of scientific researchB.the scientists were fortunate to have made their discoveriesC.hard work went into determining the cause for the raining fishD.the scientists relied heavily on unusual events to drive their studies71.The author writes the passage to________.A.explain what caused the fishy weatherB.describe the magic phenomenonC.persuade people to protect the environmentD.encourage people to do scientific research(D)A study involving8,500teenagers from all social backgrounds found that most of them are ignorant（无知的）when it comes to money.The findings,the first in a series of reports from NatWesl that has started a five-year research project into teenagers and money,arc particularly worrying as this generation of young people is likely to be burdened with greater debts man any before.University tuition fees(学费)are currently capped at£3,000annually,but this will be reviewed next year and the Government is under enormous pressure to raise the ceiling.In the research,the teenagers were presented with terms(条款）of four different loans but 76per cent failed to identify the cheapest.The young people also predicted that they would be earning on average£31.000by the age of25,although the average salary for those aged22to29is just£17,815.The teenagers expected to be in debt when they finished university or training,although half said that they assumed the debts would be less than£10.000.Average debts for graduates are £12，363.Stephen Moir,head of community investment at the Royal Bank of Scotland Group which owns NatWest,said."The more exposed young people are to financial issues,and the younger they become aware of them,the more likely they arc to become responsible,forward-planning adults who manage their finances confidently and effectively."Ministers are deeply concerned about the financial pressures on teenagers and young people because of student loans and rising housing costs.They have just introduced new lessons in how to manage debts.Nikki Fairweathcr.aged15.from St Helens,said that she had benefited from lessons on personal finance,but admitted that she still had a lot to learn about money.72.Which of the following can be found from the five-year research project?A.Students understand personal finances differently.B.University tuition fees in England have been rising.C.Teenagers tend to overestimate their future earnings.D.The students'payback ability has become a major issue.73.The phrase"to raise the ceiling"in paragraph2probably means"______".A.to raise the student loansB.to improve the school facilitiesC.to increase the upper limit of the tuition（学费）D.to lift the school building roofs74.According to Stephen Moir,students_______.A.are too young to be exposed10financial issuesB.should learn to manage their finances wellC-should maintain a positive attitude when facing loansD.benefit a lot from lessons on personal finance75.What can we learn from the passage?A.Many British teenagers do not know money matters wellB.Teenagers in Britain are heavily burdened with debts.C.Financial planning is a required course at college.D.Young people should become responsible adults.Section C（8分）Directions:Read the following passage.Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box.Each sentence can be used only once.Note that there are two more sentences than you need.A.Its goal is to have good,clean,fair food for all people.B.Today,there are great concerns about the way people grow and produce food.C.It should arrive on our plates in the cleanest and most environmentally responsible way.D.All people should be able to purchase healthy food.E.This event wasn’t the only thing that started the Slow Food Movement.F.Today the Slow Food Movement has already expanded out of Italy.The Slow Food Movement started in Rome,Italy in1986.When a new McDonalds was opening near a beautiful historic place,some people stood outside the restaurant and shouted,“We do not want fast food.We want slow food!”(76)________One day Carlo Petrini went to a restaurant to eat a traditional meal.But thefood didn’t taste the same as he remembered.He learned that the peppers were shipped from abroad because the prices were low.This deeply concerned Carlo.Carlo wanted people to care about where their foods came from and how their foods madetheir culture special.So he started a group to encourage this idea.It soon became the Slow Food Movement.(77)________First,what is good food?Good food is fresh.The vegetables are eaten close to the placewhere they are grown.The fish hasn’t been sitting for days before it is eaten.Good food is seasonable.It should be grown at the best time of the year for that food.Good food satisfies the senses.It should look good,smell good and taste good.And finally,good food is cultural food. Each country has special foods that make it different.Second,food should be clean.(78)________Farmers use chemicals to kill insects andfeed plants.But the chemicals can also harm the natural environment around farms.Over time, they can cause health problems in people too.Clean food means food that does not harm our bodies or the environment.And third,food should be fair.Food should not cost too much money.(79)________Thepeople who grow and make food should be paid fairly for their work.They should work in safe, Healthy conditions.第二卷I.Translation.(3+4+4+5=16分)80.作为学生，我们不应该无视校纪校规。

No matter what event she attended, a list squad (小队)--which included famous people like Selena Gomez, Zen d and God Ha did -- would be right by her side.But now Swift wants fans to know that her friendships weren't as perfect as she tried to make people believe. In fact, she says she was using her friend group to hide her insecurity(不实全) of feeling “'uncool" and “unpopular". Swift says she went out of her way to show off her squad because she didn't have many friends when she was younger --a memory that still bothered her years later. “Never being popular as a kid was always an insecurity for me,” she says.When she became famous, Swift became obsessed (沉迷) with showing off her popularity. “In my twenties, l found myself surrounded by girls who wanted to be my friends." Swift explains. “So I celebrated my newfound acceptance into a sisterhood." But by constantly putting her friends on display, Swift failed to consider how bad her fans might feel about themselves because they didn’t have a squad like hers. “'I didn't realize that other people might still feel the way I did when I felt so alone," she says.As she became older and more confident in herself, Swift started focusing on the quality of her friends, not the quantity (数量). She says she finally understands that the size of her group doesn‘t mean how “cool" she is. To her, it's much more important to have a few friends who can be trusted rather than a large group of “fair-weather“ friends.While Swift still values her friends she has in her life, she no longer feels the pressure to show off them for the sake of impressing others. “For too long, the opinions of strangers affected how l viewed things, But now I learn not to let outside opinions affect my own life choices.”4. What made Swift show off her list squad?A. The popularity of her friends.B. Her childhood experience.C. The support of her fans.D. Her strong social influence.5. What does paragraph 4 intend to tell us?A. We should make real friends.B. It is important to trust our friendsC, Our friends can affect our behavior.D. There are many ways of making friends.6. What does the underlined word “sake” probably mean in the last paragraph?A. Request.B. Advice.C. Method.D. Purpose.7. From which is the text probably taken?A. A scientific report.C. A travel magazine.B. A social newspaper.D. A movie poster.CWe can learn to be happy but only get lasting benefits if we keep practicing, a new study has revealed.The team behind the University of Bristol's Science of Happiness course had already discovered that teaching students the latest scientific studies on happiness markedly improved their well-being. However, their latest study found that these well-being boosts are short-lived unless the evidence-informed habits learned in the course -- such as gratitude, exercise, or run -- are kept up over the long term.Senior author Professor Bruce Hood said, “It's like going to the gym - we can't expect to do one class and be fit forever, Just as with physical health, we have to continuously work on our mental health；otherwise, the improvements will be temporary.Launched in 2018, the University of Bristol's Science of Happiness course was the first of its kind in the Uk. It involves no exams or coursework and teaches students what the latest peer-reviewed studies in psychology and neuroscience say really makes us happy. Students who took the course reported a 10% to 15% improvement in well-being. However, only those who continued implementing the course learning maintained that improved well-being when they were surveyed again two years later.Professor Hood said, “This study shows that just doing a course is just the start, You must commit to using what you learn on a regular basis. Much of what we teach revolves around positive psychological interventions that take your attention from yourself by helping others being withfriends, or being grateful. This is the opposite of the current 'self-care’ doctrine (学说), but countless studies have shown that getting out of our own heads helps get us away from negative thoughts, which can be the basis of so many mental health problems.8.What does the study find about happiness?A. Happiness can be learned, but we have to work at it.B. Financial success does not produce lasting happiness.C. Happiness is the ability to make the most of what we have.D. Trying too hard to find happiness may have the opposite effect.9. What can we learn from Professor Hood's words?A. Leaming has got to be active and experiential.B. Mental health is as important as physical health.C, Maintaining happiness requires continuous effort.D, Exercise is the best way to keep a healthy lifestyle.10.What words can best describe the course?B. Pioneering and useful.A. Long and complex.D. Interesting and educational.C. Cheap and professional.11. How can we improve mental health according to the last paragraph?B. By focusing on ourselves.A. By interacting with others.D. By avoiding negative friendsC. By learning a new course.DIn the coming decade, space agencies and private space companies like SpaceX are planning to build a base on the Moon and Mars. While scientists are already building rockets for the journey, for long-term human settlements on them, astronauts will need fuel to carry out daily tasks. Many have suggested hydrogen (氢). But a group of scientists is working on turning CO2 in the atmosphere into jet fuel. As Mars is rich in CO2 and the lunar surface has a high concentration of CO2, it may be a feasible solution.For now the team of' scientists at the University of Oxford is focusing on making jet fuel for the aviation (航空) industry, As the aviation industry releases over 900 million tons of CO2 every year to battle climate change, it is necessary to tun the tide, So far aviation scientists have tried to use other energy resources like electricity to fly, But such flights are limited to short distances. For long-distance fights, there is no alternative yet,The concept of turning CO2 into jet fuel is not new, Previously, other similar methods had to rely on expensive catalysts (催化剂) like cobalt to speed up the chemical reaction. But what Oxfordscientists suggest is adding a cheap iron-based catalyst and hydrogen to turn CO2 into liquid fuel. As the process would not require using fossil fuel, it will make the industry carbon neutral (碳中和的)The scientists tested the new catalyst in a lab at 300'C and at 10 times the air pressure at sea level. The entire process took 20 hours and turned 38 percent of CO2 into new chemicals. About 48percent of the chemicals were jet fuel hydrocarbon and the rest were other by-products that are used in the production of plastic.Professor Peter Edwards, a lead scientist in the project, said the new method could be improved in two to three years to produce jet fuel in large quantities. “This is a really exciting, potentially revolutionary advance. Our vision is that the world can see that CO2 collected can be used as an energy carrier to enable sustainable aviation ”12. Which word can best explain “feasible” underlined in paragraph 1?A. Unique.B. Practical.C. Time-tested.D. Quick13. What problem does the aviation industry face?A. It is suffering from a serious fuel shortage.B. The traditional jet fuel is much too expensive,C. Climate change partly disturbs long-distance flights.D. Its alternative energy resources are not powerful enough.14. What do we know about the Oxford scientists’ method of fuel-making?A. It is green and cost-saving.B. It is complex and time-consumingC. It runs tests in natural environment.D. It starts with immediate chemical reaction.15. What's the purpose of the author?A. To attract people to explore the space.B. To inform us of a breakthrough in fuel research.C. To warn us the dangers of climate change.D. To encourage us to work in the aviation industry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。

Without such problems, animals in zoos should live to a ripe old age. But that may not be true for the largest land animals on earth. Scientists have known that elephants in zoos often suffer from poor health. They develop diseases, joint problems and behavior changes. Sometimes, they even become infertile.To learn more about how captivity affects elephants, a team of international scientists compared the life spans of female elephants born in zoos with those living outdoors in their native habitats. Zoos keep detailed records of all the animals in their care, documenting factors such as birth dates, illnesses, weight and death. These records made it possible for the researchers to analyze 40 years of data on 800 African and Asian elephants in zoos across Europe, North America and Asia.The scientists found that female elephants born in zoos lived an average of 16.9years. Their wild counterparts who died of natural causes lived an average of 56 years - more than three times as long.Scientists don't yet know why wild elephants seem to fare so much better than their zoo - raised counterparts. Georgia Mason, a biologist at the University of Guelph in Canada who led the study, thinks that stress and obesity may be to blame. Zoo elephants don't get the same kind of exercise they would in the wild, and most are fed a diet of corn instead of their natural vegetation.Another finding from the study showed that Asian elephants born in zoos were more likely to die early than African elephants born in zoos. Mason suggests that different species may react differently to the stress of captivity.1. What does the underlined word "ripe" in Paragraph 1 probably mean?A. Smooth.B. Mature.C. Disease - free.D. Early.2. What do the scientists find in their study?A. Female elephants live longer than male elephants.B. Zoo - raised elephants live as long as their wild counterparts.C. Female elephants born in zoos have a shorter life span.D. Elephants are less healthy in zoos due to lack of exercise.3. What are the possible reasons for the zoo - raised elephants' poor healthaccording to Mason?A. Stress and obesity.B. Eating too much corn.C. Lack of exercise and different species.D. All of the above.4. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A. Elephants in ZoosB. Health of Zoo - raised ElephantsC. Comparison between Zoo - raised and Wild ElephantsD. Longer Life for Wild ElephantsIf you are a high school student, you may be under a lot of stress. Here are some tips to help you manage your stress.First, make a schedule. A schedule can help you organize your time and tasks. Write down all the things you need to do, such as homework, studying for tests, and extracurricular activities. Then, prioritize your tasks. Decide which tasks are most important and need to be done first. This will help you focus on the most important things and not get distracted by unimportant tasks.Second, get enough sleep. Sleep is very important for your physical and mental health. Most high school students need about 8 - 9 hours of sleep per night. If you don't get enough sleep, you will feel tired and stressed. Try to go to bed and get up at the same time every day to help regulate your body's internal clock.Third, exercise regularly. Exercise is a great way to relieve stress. It can also improve your mood and energy levels. You can choose the type of exercise that you like, such as running, swimming, or dancing. Try to exercise at least three times a week for 30 minutes or more.Fourth, take breaks. It's important to take breaks when you are studying or doing homework. Take a 10 - 15 minute break every hour or so. During your break, you can do something relaxing, such as listening to music, reading a book, or talking to a friend.Finally, talk to someone. If you are feeling stressed, don't keep it to yourself. Talk to your parents, teachers, or friends. They can give you advice and support.5.
