She said, “Now it is the time for you to travel around the world, 27 your knowledge through actual experiences and have fun!” I agreed with her.Since I started to work for a food company, however, I have done most of my travelling through the Internet. By using the Internet, I have seen the 28 of many cities on my computer screen. And I have made real business 29 , too. With the help of the Internet, I have also got 30 about food in different countries.Therefore, I was beginning to feel that actual trips were no longer 31 when I happened to read a famous chef’s (厨师) comment on the Internet. He said, “It is very difficult to have real Italian food in a foreign country because we enjoy food and the 32 around us at the same time. So why don’t you fly over to Italy and enjoy real Italian dishes?” Those words reminded me of my professor’s advice. As information technology33 , you might be able to do without making some real trips. But this also means that you will miss the various34 you can get from travelling.Today there are people who 35 direct contact with others and spend much of their time on the Internet. It is not surprising to see a group of people talking not with each other but into their cellphones. It seems as if such people are 36 by an invisible wall. They seem to be losing out on a good chance to 37and talk with other people. I don’t think they are taking good advantage of information technology. We should use information technology as a tool to make our daily 38 more fruitful. However, we should never let it39 our time for face-to-face communication.

Choose the best answer and mark your answer on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneDoes your mouth water when you think of biscuits, cakes and French fries? Many people prefer junk food like these to healthy food because they develop a taste for it. Processed, baked, and fried foods often contain a high amount of trans fats.Trans fats raise bad cholesterol（胆固醇）and lower the good cholesterol that your body needs. Fatty foods do more than cause obesity. Trans fats build up in the body and block blood flow to the heart. People whose diet contains a high percentage of trans fats are at risk of developing heart disease or having a stroke.Food companies and restaurants choose to use trans fat oils because they're cheap and make food last longer. They also improve the taste and texture of food. Trans fats became very popular in the second half of the 20th century. This is around the time when butter got a bad name for its cholesterol levels. People were told to use margarine (人造黄油）contain ingtrans fats instead because it was "healthier", but we now know that butter is actually the healthier option.Today doctors know how dangerous processed foods like margarine can be. In countries such as the US and Canada there are new government restrictions on food production. Food and beverage makers must attach a Nutrition Fact label to their products. These list daily recommendations and detail all the ingredients in a product, trans fats if they're used. In 2007 New York City banned trans fats from all restaurants. Even fast food chains such as McDonald's are being forced to change their recipes as people become more health-conscious. In Europe, food manufacturers have started using labels that clearly show how healthy each product is according to a simple rating system.We all need some fat in our diet. There are three different types of fats: saturated fats, trans fats, and unsaturated fats. Doctors recommend that we get most of our fatty calories from unsaturated fats.Neither butter nor margarine fit in this category, though there are some spreads that contain zero trans fats. Labels are a good way to avoid eating fatty foods that are dangerous for your health. Another way is to avoid eating out. When shopping for groceries, buy the majority of your goods in the fresh food aisles.21. Trans fats may do the following to the body EXCEPT_________.A. putting on weight.B. raising good cholesterolC. causing heart attackD. blocking blood vessels22. Butter was once not popular because people believed_________.A. it wasn't worth the priceB. it didn't make food last long2022 年同等学力人员申请硕士学位英语水平全国统一考试试题ENGLISH QUALIFICATION TEST FOR MASTER-DEGREE APPLICANTSC. it had high cholesterol levelD. it affected the taste of food23.

To cater to health-conscious customers, European food manufacturers_________.A. recommend daily in take of nutrientsB. have abandoned the use of trans fat oilsC. rate the nutrition level of each productD. have adjusted the ingredients in the food25. To eat healthily, people are advised to _________.A. pay attention to the ingredientsB. avoid foods containing fatsC. buy processed and packaged foodD. choose margarine instead of butterPassage TwoWhen you're a teenager with little life experience, it's easy to build your entire life around what other people think. It can feel normal to let your friends idea of what's cool dictate the clothes you wear, how you behave yourself, and even the the music you like. While this pressure is sometimes internal, teenagers are known for making each other feel ashamed if they don't conform to social norms. And as we all know, young adults can be absolutely brutal in how they treat each other not only those who are different, but even those who try really hard to fit in.Sadly, adulthood isn't always a whole lot better in this respect. Not only will you experience pressure to look your best, but you'II be forced to either keep up with or ignore the Joneses all throughout adulthood. That's right. Even adulthood has its groups of cool kids, rich kids, outsiders, and rebels. And sometimes, the way someone else spends their money can make you feel like you should be doing the same thing, too. After all, most people still want to fit in; it doesn't matter whether they're 15 or 50.But, should you give in to peer pressure and waste your hard-earned dollars? The opportunities to spend money as an adult are nearly limitless, but they will drain your bank account if you give in every time. And at the end of the day, keeping up with your friends as an adult is just as pointless as it was in high school.Adulthood is a journey , not a race. Those who collect the most material possessions don't earn a prize - no ribbon, nothing. So, why does it feel like we need to compete? Because every commercial on television, online, and the radio is aimed at getting us to spend our money. Every ad campaign on Earth was created to convince us that what we have is not enough, and that we need this item or that service - and that we're depriving ourselves or our families if we don't buy it.Don't believe the hype（大肆宣传）. You have nothing to prove, and you'll be a lot better off if you ignore the commercials, your friends, and do what is best for you.26. What does the author say about teenagers?A. They try to gain more life experience.B. They are easily influenced by others.C. They prefer to live their own way.D. They show others that they're mature.27. How may young adults treat each other, according to the passage?A. They may support each other in the face of challenges.B. They may ignore those who don't join their groups.C. They may fight with each other for opportunities.D. They may be cruel to those who are different.28. It is stated in the passage that most adults________.A. lead a better life than beforeB. ignore the fashion trendsC. still suffer from peer pressureD. live in constant fear of competition29. Why do adults compete for more material possessions?A. Spending money brings them pleasure.B. Material wealth reflects their social status.C. Commercials encourage their consumption.D. Competition brings out the best in them.30.What is the author’s attitude towards commercials?2022 年同等学力人员申请硕士学位英语水平全国统一考试试题ENGLISH QUALIFICATION TEST FOR MASTER-DEGREE APPLICANTSA. NegativeB. PositiveC. NeutralD. ObjectivePassage ThreePsychology studies reveal that most people taking exercise will choose their preferred sport based on their personality. If someone is introverted (内向的) , patient or calm, they will most likely choose tennis, golf, or a sport where they can practice and play on their own. By contrast, those individuals who are outspoken, competitive or aggressive, will prefer contact sports or team sports.Since a very early age, children are often seen experimenting with different types of sports - soccer, basketball, baseball, swimming, tennis, etc.—until they decide to keep practicing the sport at which they are more skillful and with which they feel more comfortable. They have the character and motivation to train, practice, and even compete in this sport. Here there is a direct relationship between the individual personality and the nature of the sport of their choosing.Interestingly, participating in a specific type of sport might also have some influence on an individual's personality. For example, we have recently seen a dramatic increase in obesity among teenagers, and adults in the US. This might be caused by a vast array of personal, professional cultural, or even health problems or conditions. However, it is up to the individual to choose a much healthier regime and therefore, embark on developing a series of new personality traits, which will help him or her lose weight and become a healthier individual.A few decades ago, a sixty-year-old individual might have been considered a very old, fragile, and even a sick person with just a few more years to live a somewhat good, conservative life. Nowadays, we have seen a dramatic change in this perception. More than ever, we are looking at healthier stronger, and very motivated sixty, seventy, and even eighty-year-old individuals. No doubt sports have helped shape this new personality and approach adopted by the senior population.Exercise and sports most certainly bring a new meaning to their lives, particularly because they live and experience the benefits of exercising on a daily basis. Therefore, there personalities and psychological state are most likely completely different from that sixty-year-old senior stereotype a few decades ago.31. What is the main topic of this passage?A. How to choose the right sportB. The nature of sports activitiesC. Sport and the aging societD. Personality and sport32. Individuals will most likely choose a type of sport that_________.A. makes them feel most comfortableB. has fewer demands and requirementsC. can make the most of their potentialsD. enables them to compete with others33. How do children practise sports at an early age according to the passage?A. They keep practising a sport til they are skilled at it.B. They engage in a sport that their parents choose for them.C. They take up any sport without obvious difficulties.D. They try different sports till they find one suitable for them.34. The author mentions the increase in obesity among Americans toA. illustrate the effect of sports on personalityB. analyze the causes for this social problemC. give some advice on a healthy lifestyleD. highlight the importance of psychological traits35. It is stated in the last paragraph that senior peopleA. are often associated with weakness and sicknessB. are living a more meaningful life than beforeC. have some doubt about the value of sportsD. have seen the changes in their own personality2022 年同等学力人员申请硕士学位英语水平全国统一考试试题ENGLISH QUALIFICATION TEST FOR MASTER-DEGREE APPLICANTSPassage FourIt is hard to imagine humans spending their lives in virtual reality (VR) when the experience amounts to waving your arms about in the middle of the lounge with a device strapped to your face. But this is where humanity is heading.Chalmers, an Australian professor of philosophy and neural science at New York University, makes the case to embrace VR in his new book, Reality +. Renowned for explaining "the hard problem" of consciousness, Chalmers sees technology reaching the point where virtual and physical are sensorily the same and people live good lives in VR.In the decades ahead, Chalmers suspects we will replace the clunky headsets with brain-computer interfaces that allow us to experience virtual worlds with our full suite of senses. With advances in computing in the next century, perhaps those worlds would seem as real as the physical world around us."A common way of thinking about virtual realities is that they're somehow fake abilities. think that's wrong, " he explained. "The virtual worlds we're interacting with can be as real as our ordinary physical world. "On the point of philosophy, Chalmers argues that even today's virtual worlds are real. A conversation in VR is a real conversation. The objects in the virtual world too, just made of bits instead of electrons. "Most of the factors that make life meaningful are going to be there in virtual worlds, " he says.But there are plenty of risks to be cautious of, he notes. As fulfilling as virtual worlds may become, people will need real food, drink and exercise, and perhaps even the glimpse of daylight, to keep their bodies from fading away. The risks may be trivial for decades yet, but a gradual trend towards virtual living could eventually raise new health issues. These are not the only health hazards. Some people have raised serious concerns about the risk of psychological damage: if we are better looking and have better clothes and a nicer home in the meta verse（元宇宙），how we feel when we leave?The lure of VR might also cause neglect on a global scale, Chalmers concedes. Would climate change and other crises facing the physical world lose their urgency? That would be a disaster, he says, "Physical reality is really important. We've got to keep a grounding in it and treat it well. "36. Why does the author mention "device strapped to your face" in Paragraph Ⅰ '?A. To introduce the latest advance in virtual technology.B. To describe a novel approach to pursuing virtual reality.C. To emphasize a physical barrier to enjoying virtual realityD. To demonstrate the necessity of wearing a virtual device.37.According to Chalmers, virtual reality_______.A. is fake realityB.is genuine realityC. derives from physical realityD.has various definitions38.Which of the following is a source of psychological damage?A. Lack of physical exercise due to virtual living.B. The gap between the physical and virtual worlds.C. Inadequate contact with friends in the physical world.D. Not enough exposure to sunlight in the physical world.39.What impact might VR have on fighting global warming?A. It might speed up global warming.B. It might offer an alternative solution.C. It might encourage people to solve it.D. It might distract people from the issue.40.What is the main idea of the passage?A. VR creates another world, but with potential problems.B. The future of VR is unfolding and quite promising.C. VR will replace physical reality in the decades to come.D. People's view of VR evolves with the passage of time.Section BDirections:In this section, you are required to read one quoted blog and the comments on it. The blog and comments are followed by questions or unfinished statements, each with four suggested ans,vers A, B, C and D. Choose the best answer2022 年同等学力人员申请硕士学位英语水平全国统一考试试题ENGLISH QUALIFICATION TEST FOR MASTER-DEGREE APPLICANTSand mark your answer on the Answer Sheet.Like a lot of people, for many years I said yes to things I didn't want to do. This was a combination of conditioning-vague fear of missing out and basic conflict avoidance. It seemed to me there was no easy way to turn things down without causing offence. All we had, growing up, was the saying "Just say no" - a slogan so useless that it became a universally recognized and decades long joke.A lot has changed since then. In the past 10 years, a language has developed, mainly from social justice and feminist movements, to describe the states of discomfort and the right we have to resist them.My favourite, and by far the most useful, of the new phrase is "I'm not comfortable with that." It can get you out of almost anything. My other favourite word is "boundaries". One can ditch disagreeable people these days via use of the word "boundaries" while escaping any feelings of guilt. Another one, "emotional labour", was coined in the 1980s to describe service industry jobs that required the faking of a cheerful behavior to satisfy customers. This involves suppressing emotions, such as anger or sadness, which is bound to take a toll on you and could even lead to burnout. It doesn't mean that now. You can bolt that phrase on to almost any situation, conversation or obligation you'd rather not be involved in.Being able to politely back out of something without tying yourself in knots is useful, particularly for women socialized to comply（遵从）．Comment 1:Saying "yes" to everything is a trait in most women. For me it is a sign of female maturity to learn to say no.Comment 2:For a longtime now, I have used a polite " no" when being asked to do things I don't want to.Comment 3:More to do with age than anything else. Men suffer it too, saying yes too much. You do wise up as you get older.Comment 4:All life involving other people is a compromise. You can pleasantly use the expression "I'm not comfortable with that" in solitudes, but among others, who have their own desires, needs and conviction, it becomes a self-detesting exercise.Comment 5:What a lot of men still seem unable to understand is that women learn at very young age to be carers, while men are largish to prioritize themselves.41. What does the author think of the advice "Just say no"?A. Aggressive but effective.B. Useful but impolite.C. Confusing and improper.D. Impractical and unhelpful.42. Which of the following is true about "emotional labour" ?A. It is a trick for performing a task.B. The person in power often bears its burden.C. Constant emotional labour can be exhausting.D. It applies most frequently to the service industry.43. What does the phrase "tying yourself in knots" (Para. 4) mean?A.Becoming upset.B. Offending othersC. Losing control.D. Acting strangely44. Which comment disagrees with the author's choice of new phrases?A. Comment 2.B. Comment 3.C. Comment 4.D. Comment 5.45. Which comments agree with the author on the female tendency to comply?A.

建议不吃垃圾食品的措施英语作文Don't Eat That Junk!Hi friends! Today I want to talk to you about something super important - junk food. You know, all that candy, chips, soda, and fast food that seems so yummy but is actually really bad for you. I used to love eating junk food all the time, but then I learned how unhealthy it is. Let me tell you why you should stay away from it as much as you can!First of all, junk food is terrible for your body. It's full of sugar, salt, bad fats, and other yucky stuff that can make you sick. Too much sugar can lead to weight gain, obesity, and even diabetes which is when your body can't control its blood sugar levels properly. The salt in chips and fries raises your blood pressure which isn't good for your heart. And the trans fats in fried foods clog up your arteries and can cause heart disease down the road. No thank you!Junk food also doesn't have many vitamins, minerals, fiber, or other nutrients that growing kids like us need to stay healthy and strong. Instead of getting those good-for-you nutrients, you're just filling up on empty calories that don't do anything for your body except make you gain weight. And being overweightcan lead to bullying, low self-esteem, and other serious issues. Who wants that?But what about the taste, you might ask? I get it, junk food does taste amazing. All that sugar, salt, and fat makes it super addictive. But you know what else tastes great? Fresh fruits, veggies, whole grains, lean meats, dairy, and other healthy foods! They give you lasting energy without a crazy sugar crash afterward. And they make you feel so much better than greasy pizza or a belly full of candy.I'm not saying you can never, ever have a treat. My parents let me have a small dessert or snack every once in a while if I've been good. But we have to be really careful not to overdo it on the junk. Too much of it is so unhealthy!So what can we do instead of eating junk food all the time? Here are some of my favorite tips:Pack a healthy lunch from home instead of buying unhealthy school lunches. Bring stuff like sandwiches on whole wheat bread, carrot sticks, yogurt, fruit, and a bottle of water.Only have soda or juice as a special treat. Drink water, milk, or fortified nut milks most of the time to stay hydrated without extra sugar.Snack on fresh fruits, veggies, nuts, seeds, or whole grain crackers and hummus instead of chips and candy bars.When eating out, skip the fries and soda. Order healthier kids' meals with options like grilled chicken, a side salad, milk, and fruit.For dessert, have just a small portion of something sweet, not a huge plate of cookies or cake. Or pick fresh fruit for a sweet treat.Stay active by playing sports, running around, or riding your bike at least an hour a day to burn off energy.Get 8-10 hours of sleep per night so you don't crave sugary and fatty foods for a quick energy boost.I know it can be really hard to give up junk food when it's everywhere and all your friends are eating it too. Peer pressure is tough! But you have to be strong and make healthy choices for your own body. Once you start cutting out the junk, you'll feel so energized and proud of yourself.Your parents, teachers, and other adults can help too. Maybe your mom or dad can pack you a healthy lunch every day. Or your teacher could stop giving out candy as rewards and dosomething fun like extra recess instead. You could even start a health club at school to teach others about nutrition!The bottom line is, junk food might taste delicious, but it's really bad for you, especially for kids who are still growing. So let's all try to say no to chips, candy, soda, and fast food as much as possible. Eat tons of fruits, veggies, whole grains, and lean protein instead. Your body will feel amazing and thank you for it! Who's with me?。

广西桂平市浔州高级中学2022-2023学年高二上学期期中考试英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解There are lots of classical English movies that touched us a lot. The following works are worth reviewing repeatedly for English learners.The Shawshank RedemptionDirector; Frank DarabontIntroduction：As a prisoner who is actually not guilty of crime, Andy Dufresne maintains his spirit and soul, quietly saving himself step by step over decades. And finally, his determination and patience lead him to freedom from prison. The film encourages people to fight to preserve the dignity (尊严)of human beings and to appreciate the beauty of life, and the roost important is to keep hope forever.Dead Poets SocietyDirector：Peter WeirIntroduction：The film is set in the US in 1959 at the respected Welton Academy. The plot centers on the influence of Mr. Keating, a teacher with advanced educational concept. He breaks through the conservative (守旧的)education model and inspires his students to seize the day to make their life extraordinary. Unfortunately, the story ends up with their dream broken.Forrest GumpDirector ：Robert ZemeckisIntroduction：Forrest Gump is unfortunately born with a lower IQ and the muscle problems. Usually, people tend to think this kind of person can’t be successful in doing anything. But instead, this unlucky man has achieved lots of incredible achievements. He is a football star, a war hero, and later a millionaire!Gone with the WindDirector：Victor FlemingIntroduction; The story is set in the American Civil War, describing the social reality of the south of America. It depicts the struggles of Scarlett, an attractive, strong-willed woman, facing misfortune and hardship in the war. She becomes strong and brave by all means to get rid of poverty，from a spoiled (宠坏的)princess to an independent business woman1．What is the film The Shawshank Redemption mainly aboutA．A story of a man saving himself from prison.B．A growth of a woman in the period of war.C．A wonder created by a man of lower intelligence.D．A battle between new and old educational concept.2．Which of the following movies has an unhappy endingA．The Shawshank Redemption. B．Dead Poets Society.C．Forrest Gump. D．Gone with the Wind.3．What do Forrest Gump and Gone with the Wind have in commonA．They are set in the same background.B．They are directed by the same person.C．Their stories are about fighting for freedom.D．Their characters have gone through the war.My 15-year-old boy is a high achiever. He is very bright, pursuing everything he does with devotion and determination. And he is a great kid; honest, kind, faithful and caring.Like a lot of kids who are high achievers, he is a perfectionist and very easy to fall into anxiety. That is manifested in his study, and other things he does as well. For example, he loves tennis but he is often worried about losing in the game. Now he has to stop competing because the pressure he puts on himself is becoming unhealthy. He still plays, but playing socially rather than competitively means that it’s an outlet for him rather than a source of stress.He does not manage stress well. He puts so much pressure on himself to the point of worrying himself sick over just about every assessment. And he gets so negative about it, everything I say to him is met with negativity, every suggestion with a response that it won’t work, and honestly it’s depressing and tiring.To help my son, I had a patient conversation with him, and he finally followed my advice about physical exercise to ease stress. Whenever he was under a lot of pressure, I would run with him for half an bour and do some push-ups to relax the pressure. Gradually, he became less nervous in the later exams and his scores became more and more stable.Pressure from grades and perfectionism can be really hard to manage when it comes to schooling. As kids, what they need is effective communication and sincere encouragement. So I have always told and shown my son that we’re proud of him, and that pride doesn’t merely depend on top grades.4．Which of the following best explains “manifested” underlined in paragraph 2 A．Exchanged. B．Explored. C．Achieved. D．Reflected.5．Why does the author’s son keep playing tennisA．He is a high achiever. B．He’s easy to fall sick.C．He hopes to release stress. D．He wants to win the game.6．What does the author mainly tell us about his son in paragraph 3A．His son fails to handle stress properly. B．His son becomes tired of stress. C．His son is good at some sports. D．His son is doing well at school.7．What is the author’s advice for his sonA．Taking up a new hobby. B．Hanging out with some friends.C．Doing some exercise with him. D．Talking to friends as much as possible.Some Asian children are becoming increasingly fat, a new report says. The United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) and the World Health Organization (WHO) joint report was released on Monday. The two agencies call for better regulation of junk food and a limit on sugary drinks for children. They also call for action against malnutrition (营养不良), because a lack of food has prevented children who live in poverty growing normally and healthily-or rather, hurts their development.Dorothy Foote is a UNICEF regional nutritional specialist. She says the lack of food affects children’s height and development inside their bodies. But at the same time, the area is facing high levels of overweight children.The main reason for the food problems, the report says, is that there is more junkfood available, which does not provide nutrition. Another problem is drinks with high sugar or high trans-fat, but low nutritional value. Lack of physical activity is also part of the problem, the report adds.Foote says this is seen in nutrition across the area. She says people lack knowledge about what is needed and normal for healthy children’s development.The economic growth in the area has brought unhealthy products to rural areas. Poor and middle-class families buy them and do not make the right choices to use healthier foods instead. Poor feeding practices, especially for children younger than two, mean ongoing high levels of malnutrition.The report says governments need to regulate the marketing of junk food and sugary drinks to children. It also calls for better feeding practices for infants and young children, and treatment for severely malnourished children. And it says the countries should work to reduce poverty and make sure that children stay in school.8．What does the report focus onA．The economic growth in Asia.B．Asian countries’ development.C．The education in Asian rural areas.D．Some Asian children’s health problems.9．What does the underlined word “them” in paragraph5 refer toA．The right choices. B．The high levels.C．The unhealthy products. D．The healthier foods.10．What does the last paragraph mainly talk aboutA．The children’s situations. B．The report’s suggestions.C．The governments’ efforts. D．The problem’s causes.11．Which of the following is the best title for the textA．The reasons for children’s being hungryB．How to stop children from being overweightC．Why children in Asia become overweightD．Asian children face malnutrition or fatnessThe essence (本质) of fast fashion is to make clothes inexpensively and quickly, to get new trends and styles into stores and online as soon as possible, and it comes at a high social and environmental cost. Keeping production costs low means they can make their clothes cheap, using cheap labour in unsafe working conditions, and in countries with bad environmental regulations.Throw-away culture is deeply rooted in our society; three in five of our clothing pieces are thrown out within a year. Fast fashion brands keep the consumers hungry and feeling like they need more by attracting them with newness and convincing the consumers that they need what they’re selling. This only results in increasing textile waste as people no longer want but throw it away.Criticisms of the fast fashion industry include its negative environmental impact: water pollution, the use of toxic (有毒的) chemicals and increasing levels of textile waste. Textile dyeing is the second largest polluter of clean water globally, after agriculture. Fast fashion companies rely on their products being made cheaply and quickly, so they avoid talking when it comes to being aware of their impact on theenvironment. Greenpeace’s recent Detox Campaign showed that many brands use toxic and dangerous chemicals in their supply chains, and many of the chemicals are either banned or strictly controlled in lots of countries.In conclusion, the fast fashion industry has a bad effect on our environment through fast fashion brands’ ecological practices and only continues to make the problem last for a long time in the future through extreme consumerist culture. In order for change to happen, the common people need to open their eyes and take measures to prevent the fast fashion from growing.12．What’s one of the characteristics of fast fashionA．Causing a lot of anxiety. B．Making people buy old clothes.C．Selling most clothes through stores. D．Producing clothes quickly.13．Why are fast fashion clothes cheapA．They are mainly sold online. B．They are made in unsafe countries.C．They are made by cheap labour. D．They save the cost of advertising.14．How does the society think of throwing away clothes according to the author A．Natural. B．Surprising. C．Absurd. D．Puzzling.15．What’s the way to change fast fashion mentioned in the textA．Changing fast fashion brands’ working conditions.B．Changing clothes stores’ sales model.C．Introducing stricter laws for factories.D．Raising public awareness of preventing fast fashion.二、七选五Strategies for Getting Kids off ScreensIt’s time to keep kids off the screens!

They talked in the same confident manner, and they even had similar styles of dancing, walking, and gesturing. People often got the two of them confused.However, there was one small difference between the twins. Unlike Jay, whose favorite hobby was making pastries(糕点), Eldon couldn’t stand eating anything sweet. Ever since he’d been a baby, Eldon had refused to eat cookies, cakes, candies, or any dessert. Whenever Jay was baking(烘焙), Eldon would go to his room and practice playing the trombone(长号).Eldon had played the trombone for a year, but he was still a beginner, and in Jay’s opinion, Eldon was not a gifted trombone player. One day, when Jay was in the kitchen making cookies, he heard Eldon practice playing the trombone. “What a terrible noise,” said Jay to himself. “It sounds like an elephant crying.”But Jay didn’t shout at Eldon. He just went up to Eldon’s room and gently asked, “Could you please play more quietly while I’m trying to bake?”Eldon was a little surprised by his brother’s polite request, but he said, It seems my playing is interrupting you. However, I also find it hard to be in the kitchen when you’re baking, since, as you know, I can’t stand to be around sugar. Maybe we can figure out a solution together.”The twins sat down and worked out a plan in which Eldon would only practice the trombone in the practice room at school, and Jay would learn how to bake and only bake at the bakery. Each of the twins found that this solution worked quite well.24．What was the small difference between the twins?A．Bright smile.B．Favorite hobby.C．Dancing style.D．Talking manner. 25．What did Jay think of Eldon’s trombone playing?A．Sweet.B．Terrible.C．Peaceful.D．Sad.26．What can you learn from the twins’ story?A．Having a hobby is necessary.B．Difference brings us a lot of fun.C．Being your true self is important.D．Respecting others helps us solve problems China now has more than 30,000 kilometers of high speed track, and this is expected to increase to 38,000 kilometers by 2025. Fully two thirds of the world’s high speed rail (by length)is in China. Here, we track the exciting technological developments in high speed rail and consider their cultural influence.While the main advantage of the high speed rail lines is convenience for people to get from one city to another as quickly as possible, some of these high speed lines have become popular tourist attractions. A good example of this is the Hefei-Fuzhou high speed line.Technically speaking, this was one of the most challenging high speed rail routes ever built; nearly 90% of the track was laid either on bridges or in tunnels. However, the breathtaking views are worth it, as the train go through some of China’s most beautiful mountainous areas, including the Huangshan and the Wuyi Mountain Ranges.Now that China has gained skills and knowledge in high speed rail, it is trying to export(出口) its technology to other countries. Its first venture(项目) on the international market was the line connecting Istanbul with Turkey’s capital, Ankara, 530 kilometers away. This was followed by projects among other countries. Perhaps its most ambitious project is a Trans Asian network linking(连接) China with Europe. Although it is difficult, China will make every effort to take on this plan. It is hoped to be completed by 2030 as a part of China’s Belt and Road Initiative.Thanks to high speed rail, the travel time between major cities in China has already been reduced to only a few hours. This convenience in turn should improve the development within and out of China. No doubt, it will also bring the people of the country closer together, and in time bring about deep social changes, the full nature of which no one can fully guess.27．Why does the writer talk about the Hefei-Fuzhou line in Paragraph 2?A．To prove how fast the high speed lines can be.B．To stress how convenient the high speed lines are.C．To show the technical development of the high speed lines.D．To explain high speed lines can be popular tourist attractions.28．What is the most challenging project that China plans to take on?A．Inventing faster trains.B．Linking China with Europe. C．Designing and building its own trains.D．Connecting the whole country in 2030.29．Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A．Racing to the Future B．Great Changes in ChinaC．Rising China in the World D．High Speed Rail in the World “You totally missed out!” This sentences trikes(引起) fear in the hearts of many teens more than almost anything else you can say to them. In fact, missing out on something bothers some teens so much that there is even a special word for that sick feeling—FOMO.In simple terms, FOMO stands for “fear of missing out”. It refers to that nervous or anxious feeling a person gets when they realize they are not attending a social event either because they were not invited, couldn’t attend, or they just did not feel like going.Historically, people have always been concerned about where they stand socially. But with the development of social media, FOMO has become an even bigger problem, especially for young people who seem to always be online, checking status updates and posts by their friends. So, when young people miss a party, or do not go on a family vacation one summer, they can feel a little less cool than those who did and posted photos online. Meanwhile, a research suggests that people who experience FOMO are more likely to value social media.Worrying too much about what everyone else is doing causes teens to miss out on their own lives. In fact, FOMO causes people to keep their attention focused outward instead of inward. This, in turn, may cause them to lose their sense of identity and to struggle with low self-esteem(自尊).Fortunately, steps can be taken to curb your FOMO if it is something you experience. Rather than focusing on what you lack, try noticing what you have. Add more positive people to your feed; hide people who tend to brag too much or who are not supportive of you. If you feel you are suffering from feelings of missing out, it can also be helpful to reach out to a friend or spend some time thinking about the things you are grateful for in your life. Activities like these can help you gather a greater sense of belonging and release the anxiety of “missing out”.It is important to remember that FOMO is a very real and common feeling among people of all ages. Everyone feels a certain level of FOMO at different times in their lives. So don’t let some party or social media post make you feel unworthy because you’re worth a lot more than you think you do.30．What can we learn about FOMO according to the passage?A．It often happens when you stay at home alone.B．It has become a sign of being cool among teenagers.C．It becomes more serious with the wide use of social media.D．It causes people to keep their attention focused inward31．What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?A．What FOMO is.B．Tips on dealing with FOMO.C．The effects of FOMO.D．Why people experience FOMO.32．The word “curb” in Paragraph 5 probably means “________”.A．control B．destroy C．develop D．influence 33．What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage?A．To tell readers about the research on FOMO.B．To call on readers to pay attention to FOMOC．To explain to readers it’s common to feel FOMOD．To encourage readers to properly deal with FOMO.四、阅读回答问题阅读表达Can you imagine being an inventor with one arm at the age of 10? Well, it’s possible, and Jordan Reeves is one example.Jordan was born with a condition called limb(肢体) difference, as her left arm stopped growing before she was born. But she is active and outgoing, and has used every opportunity to share her story and encourage others.She got attention when she took part in what she calls “Project Unicorn”. She created a superhero persona(角色) called “Glitter(闪光的) Girl”. She wanted to design a prosthetic(假体的) arm that could shoot glitter, as she hoped to share her joy with thousands of people with limb differences all around the world.She continued to work with a professional designer as her idea gained popularity, and she went on to display her prototype(原型) on national television when she was only 11 years old. “When people hear about disabilities, they think, ‘Oh, that is so sad.’ But this turned it into something joyful.”In the years since, Jordan has done a lot. For one, she created an online petition(请愿) to speak for kids with limb differences. In addition, Jordan was later asked to work with Mattel, the company known for creating the Barbie doll, and a doll was made in her likeness Not only has Jordan become an inventor and designer, but she has also become an inspirational speaker. Most recently, she started her own workshops called Design With Us. Youth with disabilities can find inspiration from their own lives and experiences to create original designs there.Jordan has no plan to stop. She said, “If you have a passion or a want to change something, go for it. What you say can make a difference no matter how big ... Youth voices matter and need to be heard.”34．What kind of condition was Jordan born with?__________________________________35．Why did Jordan want to design a prosthetic arm that could shoot glitter?__________________________________36．How old was Jordan when she displayed her prototype on national television?__________________________________37．What can youth with disabilities do in the workshops?__________________________________38．What can you learn from Jordan Reeves?__________________________________五、电子邮件39．假如你是李华，你们学校将举行初中毕业典礼，班上的交换生Peter要来参加这个毕业典礼，请你给他写封邮件，告知他毕业典礼的时间和地点，活动内容以及他需要做什么准备。
