He then dipped a spoon into it and put some honey on the cover of a small book.The little girl had just turned five. Stand up, little one, "he asked the girl softly. "I did this for your mother, your uncles, yourold brother, and now you ! "Then, he handed the book to her. "Taste f "She touched the honey with her finger and put it into her mouth." What is the taste?" the grandpa asked.The little girl answered, " Sweet ! "Then all. the family said in a single voice, "Yes, and so is knowledge, but knowledge is from the bee that made that sweet honey, you have to go after itthrough the pages of a book ! " The little girl knew that the promise to read was at last hers. Soon she was going to learn to read.This is the beginning of a profoundly moving children's book entitled Thank You, Mr. Falker.In this book, Patricia Polacco writes of her own passion to read, inspired by the honey on the book. It wasn't until fifth grade that she met her beloved teacher who provided the help that she needed to finally unlock the magic of the written world.The child learning to read is admitted into a collective memory by way of books. And with the printed words that are active with. meaning, the child bees acquainted(熟悉的) with a mon past which he or she renews, to a greater or lesser degree, in every reading. Much as the author of the book Thank You, Mr. Falker puts it, " Almost as if it were magic, or as if light poured into her brain, the words and sentences started to take shape on the page as they never had before-And she understood the whole thing---Then she went into the living room and found the book on a shelf, the very book that her grandpa had shown her so many years ago. She spooned honey on the cover and tasted the sweetness---Then she held the book, honey and all, close to her chest. She could feel tears rolldown her cheeks, but they weren't tears of sadness- she way happy, so very happy. "21．The girl who tasted the honey on the book was ______.A. nearly six years oldB. less than five years oldC. a little more than five years oldD. more than six years old22．It can be inferred from this passage that_______.A. the girl's mother and uncles were good scholarsB. Mr. Falker helped Patricia Polacco write her book for children.C. the girl who tasted the honey on the book grew into an artistD. the honey-on- book tradition has been practiced for many generations 23．The book entitled Thank You, Mr. Falker is aboutA. the early life of Mr. FalkerB. the magic power of oral words on childrenC. Polacco's early experience with readingD. how the honey on the book makes children feel happy24．The last paragraph implies that the happiness of the little girl came from _______.A. the ability to read booksB. the honey she tastedC. the book her grandpa had shown herD. the collective memory that accepted herMicrosoft founder Bill Gates has opened up about being a parent，stating that 13 is an appropriate age for a child’s first cell phone.The 57yearold，fatherofthree，revealed on The Today Show that his children Jennifer and Rory were not allowed phones until their 13th birthday and his youngest daughter Phoebe is still waiting for one.“We’ve chosen in our family that it’s 13 where you get a phone，” the self-made billionaire explained.He said as a result his children often return home from school plaining，“All the other kids have one.I’m the only one without one.It’s so embarrassing.”Asked if he keeps passwords to his son and daughters’ email and Facebook accounts，Mr Gates said that he doesn’t for Jennifer,16，who he describes as “independent”．He admitted that monitoring online activity is “a very tricky issue for parents now”．Despite their vast wealth Mr and Mrs Gates，who live in Lake Medina，have said they want to give their children as normal an upbringing as possible.It was previously reported that their youngsters have to plete household chores and are given a modest amount of pocket money.And in xx Mr Gates said that he intends to give most of his $61 billion fortune away rather than hand it down.“That wouldn’t be good either for my kids or society，” he said.Also during the Today interview with host Matt Lauer，Mr Gates，who stepped down from Microsoft in xx to concentrate on philanthropy，said that helping others gives him the same excitement as creating software.“What you really feel is what you’ve achieved.If a piece of software gets out there and lots of people love it—it lets them get their work done in better ways—that’s exciting，” he explained.25．Bill Gates will not let his children own a cell phone________.A．until they reach the age of 13B．if they don’t really need oneC．unless they do some houseworkD．before they bee independent26．Which of the following is true about Bill Gates’ children?A．All his children now have cell phones.B．Phoebe has her own cell phone.C．They are not given any pocket money.D．Jennifer can use the Internet freely.27．What does the underlined word “That” refer to in the text? A．Being a parent as a billionaire.B．Handing all his money down to his children.C．Allowing his children to have their phones.D．Giving away all his money to good causes.28．What can we learn about Bill Gates from the text?A．He is a warmhearted father to his children.B．He has created a lot of software since xx.C．He now devotes himself to helping othersD．He cares more about money than anything else.29．What is the text mainly about?A．How Bill Gates made himself a billionaire.B．How Bill Gates deals with his money.C．How Bill Gates managed his business.D．How Bill Gates brings up his children.Millions of people are using cell phones today.In many places it is actually considered unusual not to use one.In many countries，cell phones are very popular with young people.They find that the phones are more than a means of munication —having a mobile phone shows that they are cool and connected.The explosions around the world in mobile phone use make some health professional worried.Some doctors are concerned that in the future many people may suffer health problems from the use of mobile phones.In England，there has been a serious debate about this issue.Mobile phone panies are worried about the negative publicity of such ideas.They say that there is no proof that mobile phones are bad for your health.On the other hand，why do some medical studies show changes in the brain cells of some people who use mobile phones？Signs of change in the issues of the brain and head can be detected with modern scanning equipment.In one case，a traveling salesman had to retire at a young age because of serious memory loss.He couldn’t remember even simple tasks.He would often forget the name of his own son.This man used to talk on his mobile phone for about six hours a day，every day of his working week，for a couple of years.His family doctor blamed his mobile phone use，but his employer’s doctor didn’t agree.What is it that makes mobile phones potentially harmful？The answer is radiation.Hightech machines can detect very small amounts of radiation from mobile phones.Mobile phone panies agree that there is some radiation.But they say the amount is too small to worry about.As the discussion about their safety continues，it appears that it’s best to use mobile phones less e your regular phone if you want to talk for a long e your mobile phone only when you really need it.Mobile phones can be very useful and convenient，especially in emergencies.In the future，mobile phones may have a warning label that says they are bad for your health.So for now，it’s wise not to use your mobile phone too often.30．People buy cell phones for the following reasons except that________. A．they’re popular B．they’re convenientC．they’re useful D．they’re cheap31．The word “detected” in Paragraph 3 could be best replaced by________. A．discovered B．removedC．cured D．caused32．The salesman retired young because________.A．he disliked using mobile phonesB．he couldn’t remember simple tasksC．he was tired of talking on his mobile phoneD．his employer’s doctor persuaded him to33．On the safety issue of mobile phones，the manufacturing panies________. A．deny the existence of mobile phone radiationB．develop new technology to reduce mobile phone radiationC．hold that the amount of radiation is too small to worry aboutD．try to prove that mobile phones are not harmful to health34．The writer’s purpose of writing this article is to advise people________. A．to buy mobile phonesB．to use mobile phones less oftenC．to update regular phonesD．to stop using mobile phonesYou may not have heard of Ashoka, but for the past 27 years,this association, founded by Bill Drayton, has fought poverty (贫穷)and sickness, promoted education and encouraged small businesses. To support these worthy causes, Ashoka provides money for the world's most promising "changemakers" seeking to solve (解决) urgent problems and would like to create a world in which everycitizen is a changemaker.Drayton believes that anyone can bee an agent for change. The important thing is to simply give yourself permission. If you see a problem that you care about, you can help solve it. The young in particular are willing to accept this concept because at heart every child wants to grow into a happy, healthy, contributing adult. In fact It is many young people's ambition to set up programmes or businesses that improve social conditions. An excellent example is an Ashoka project started in 1995 in Dhaka, which handled the rubbish problem facing the city ,helped local farmers and provided an ine for poor people there .When Masqsood and Iftekhar began to study the problem of all the uncollected rubbish that lay in Dhaka’s streets,Attracting tats and disease , they discovered that 80% of it was natural waste . So they educated the poor people in the city to post (把……制成堆粪)this waste . They knew that they would have a market for the end product because local farmers were struggling with chemical ferntilisers (化肥) which were expensive and had reduced the natural minerals in the soil over the years . At first , they were refused ,but once they were able to persuade them that there was money to be made , the project took off. In xx sales were $14,000.Drayton is optimistic that in ten years Ashoka will be making really serious ,practical progress in bringing about social change by changing the way we look at economic development.35．Which of the following could be the best title for the passage?A. changemakersB. BusinessmenC. Social ConditionsD.Rubbish Problem36．The underlined word "them" in Paragraph 3 probably refers to" " A. the local farmers B. Masqsood and IftekharC. Drayton and his teamD. the poor people in Dhaka37．It can be concluded from the passage that anyone can bee a changemaker if he .A. considers Drayton's conceptB. gets permission from AshokaC. tries to improve social conditionsD. is a young, happy and healthy adult38．The authors attitude towards Ashoka's program can be described asA. changingB. forgivingC. cautiousD.

But he only lasted a year in that role. “I’ve loved animals since I was a child. I raised many animals, such a s goldfish, turtles and pigeons during my school years,” he says. “Raising animals was my hobby and my dream.”Yang made a career switch in 2006, and started working at a chicken farm to learn about breeding (培育) birds.“The first five years were very difficult for me. I made many mistakes along the way, but I also learned a lot,” he says. “For example, there are huge differences between raising a chicken and a swan.”He shared that the first swans he bought eventually became crippled (瘸的), and some even died, even though he went to great lengths to feed them good food and ensure that their pens were warm. But after consulting with experienced experts, he learned that the animals just needed to eat grass. In addition, the swans should not have been cooped up in their pens but let out to exercise in the cold water.He then went to learn more about the trade with experienced bird keepers and experts from zoos, working alongside them for days and observing how they raised the animals.In 2011, Yang bought a small, deserted zoo and renovated (改造) it for his rare-bird breeding center. In 2014, he received his license to breed first-tier protected animals from the National Forestry and Grassland Administration. He has since introduced several endangered birds to his center.“They’re all native species in China and I’ve succeeded in breeding and raising their babies,” he says. His breeding center, which supplies birds to zoos around China, isn’t all about profit. Yang says that he is planning to release some endangere d birds to help grow the population in the wild. “I am passionate with my work and never feel exhausted,” he says. “Living with the birds and seeing them every day makes me a happy man.”4．Yang Ji started working at a chicken farm because ___________.A．he loved raising chickensB．he wanted to learn bird raisingC．chickens were much easier to raiseD．he had a preference for small animals5．What mistake did Yang Ji make when he first started breeding swans?A．He fed wrong food to the swans.B．He didn’t keep the swans warm.C．He bought some crippled swans.D．He let the swans swim in cold water.6．What do we know about Yang Ji’s breeding center?A．It was rebuilt on an open grassland.B．It has kept all kinds of endangered animals since 2014.C．It intends to increase the number of some endangered birds by setting them free.D．It aims at making money out of supplying endangered birds to zoos all over China.7．Which of the following can be the best title of this passage?A．Yang Ji and His Birds B．From Chickens to SwansC．A Successful Career Switch D．Flying High with His DreamsTo give a tip or not? If so, how much? They can be headaches even for the most experienced tourists. This week, the main political parties in the UK have finally come to rescue by passing laws to forbid bars and restaurants taking tips from the customers.However, not every country in the world takes the matter as seriously as the British, who are believed to have invented the custom in the 17th century — originally as a noble practice of giving small gifts to the so-called “inferior (低等的) classes”. Later, tipping has become a habit widely accepted in the world, although it is influenced by a nation’s culture and values.A common joke among Americans is that only getting tax return is more confusing than tipping. Tips were imported into the country in the 19th century, when wealthy Americans began travelling to Europe. The custom was originally disapproved in the US. Critics accused tippers of creating a class of p eople who “begged for favors”. Fast forward to the 21st century and you will still find Americans debating the pros and cons. But tipping is now completely ingrained (根深蒂固的) in the national soul.Like many Asian countries, China is largely a no-tipping culture for decades it was actually prohibited and considered illegal. To this day, it remains relatively uncommon.Japan’s complex manner system includes tipping. It is socially acceptable on special occasions such as weddings, but on the other occasions, it can actually make the receiver feel ashamed, if not abused. Even onoccasions where tips are expected,the money is expected to be sealed in special envelopes as a sign of gratitude and respect. Otherwise, it will be refused because tips are usually included in the payment for the service.8．What’s the original purpose of tipping?A．To please the ordinary people. B．To praise people’s good deeds.C．To indicate people’s thanks to the poor. D．To show noble kindness to the lower class.9．What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 3 mean?A．Americans are used to giving tips. B．It is quite normal to tip in America.C．Tipping is very complex in the US. D．Getting tax return is simpler than tipping.10．What can be inferred about tipping in Asia?A．Tips are totally forbidden in China. B．Tipping will become popular very soon.C．Good services should be put before tips. D．Tips can be accepted for special celebrations.11．In which section of a newspaper may this text appear?A．Law B．Culture C．Economy D．TourismElon Musk has expressed his company – Neuralink is close to announcing the first brain-machine interface (接口) to connect humans and computers. Musk told followers in Twitter the technology would be “coming soon” –though he failed to provide details.Neuralink was set up in 2016 with the ambitious goal of developing hardware to strengthen the human brain. However, little about how this will work has been made public. Neuralink describes the interface as an extremely high-speed connection between the human brain and computers.Musk has frequently claimed the rapid rise of artificial intelligence poses an existential risk to humanity. Such an interface, he says, is essential if humans are to compete with such technology in the future. At a technology conference in 2016, Mr Musk said humans risked being treated like house pets by AI machines if a brain-computer interface was not built. Last year on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast, Musk said Neuralink’s technolo gy would allow humans to “effectively combine with AI”.A paper published in Nature Nanotechnology in 2015 described a concept for this connection, explaining how a flexible circuit (回路) could be injected into a living brain. “We’re trying to lessen the di stinction between electronic circuits and neural circuits,” said Harvard researcher Charles Lieber, who co-authored the study. Despite the technology’s potential to increase the human brain, experts have warned that brain-computer interfaces risk being controlled by vicious (恶意的) artificial intelligence.Such an action could lead to AI controlling the thoughts, decisions and emotions of a person using abrain-computer link. “Technological developments mean that we are on a path to a world in which it will b e possible to discover people’s mental processes and directly operate the brain mechanisms underlying their intentions, emotions and decision,” stated a Nature comment piece written by 27 scientists and machine intelligence engineers. “The possible medical and social benefits in it are vast. But we must guide their development in a way that respects, protects and enables what is best in humanity.”12．What message did Musk convey about his Neuralink?A．It sells brain-machine interfaces.B．It offers rich data about interfaces.C．It has followers to connect humans and computers.D．Its new technology will be accessible to the public soon .13．What can we know from Paragraph Two?A．Neuralink aims to know the human brain better.B．How the hardware functions is already known.C．The brain-machine interface was invented in 2016.D．The interface is expected to link the human brain and computers rapidly.14．According to Musk, why are brain-machine interfaces important?A．Because they may treat human like house pets.B．Because they may make AI serve human better.C．Because they build neural circuits in human brains.D．Because they rapidly develop artificial intelligence.15．What is the attitude of Nature to brain-machine interfaces?A．Objective B．FavorableC．Opposed D．Indifferent二、七选五（每题2.5分，共12.5分）Winter is connected with fun and games: snowball fights, skiing, and, every four years, the Winter Olympics. But what will a winter sports enthusiast do if the snow doesn’t make an appearance? ____16____ Artificial snow is more like a tightly packed frozen snow that is partly melt. ____17____ They are broken up by a high-pressure pump at first and then turn into small frozen pieces. Most artificial snow is made using snowcannons. As the air’s cooling capacity falls, so doe s the amount of water that can be pumped through the machine. ____18____ At -4℃ a snow cannon can operate at around 80% humidity. But if the outside temperature is -1℃, this must be reduced to around 30% humidity.In 1980, the Olympics held in America became the first Winter Games to use machine-made snow.____19____ Artificial snow also appeared at the two recent Winter Olympics, in Sochi, Russia (2014), and Vancouver, British Columbia (2010). And the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing is the first to rely entirely on artificial snow.____20____ The International Olympic Committee states that it creates a more consistent surface. In addition, the snow that comes from a cannon is icier than natural snow. It melts more slowly, and provides a harder surface for athletes looking for speed. The first Olympics using entirely artificial snow will probably not be the last. A．But they weren’t the last.B．It is made from waterdrops.C．That’s when artificial snow comes in.D．What is artificial snow, and how is it made?E．Temperature also plays a significant role in snowmaking.F．Artificial snow can be applied into a wide range of fields.G．Artificial snow is well worth using in the Winter Olympics.四、用单词的适当形式完成短文（每题1.5分，共15分）阅读下面材料, 在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。

Many areas were left without power or water. As soon as the storm passed, a team of cooks and other volunteers sprang into action. They set up makeshift (临时替代的) kitchens. Leading the charge was José Andrés, who owns popular restaurants in the United States. He's also the founder of World Central Kitchen (WCK), which cooks meals for people affected bynatural disasters and other emergencies (突发事件). “We will make it to everyone who needs food,” Andrés said. At press time, WCK had served about 300,000 meals there.WCK began its work in 2016, when Hurricane Matthew hit Haiti. It left many people without food. Usually, after an emergency, governments give out prepackaged meals, but some of the food isn't very healthy. Andrés thought he could do better. The food served by WCK is fresh and healthy. When possible, it adds in local ingredients (原料), which suit the tastes of the area.WCK cooks have shortcuts to cooking lots of food quickly. Andrés grew up in Spain, where cooks use massive pans (巨大的锅) to make a rice dish called paella. He realized paella pans could be used for all kinds of food. Now WCK cooks use them for everything and they can cook for 500 people at a time this way.WCK has about 25 staff members. But much of its work is done by volunteers. Twenty thousand volunteers served almost 4 million meals after Hurricane Maria hit Puerto Rico, in 2017. Andrés said a 10-year-old girl there named Lola ran a whole part of the kitchen on her own, and he thought she was a heroine.In Haiti, it's common for school meals to be cooked indoors over open fires. This can be dangerous. WCK wants to help. The group has built or repaired more than 140 schools in Haiti. In many of them, it has fitted gas stoves (煤气灶) and water lines.

Personally, I'm not so sure, and according to new research, neither is science.You really shouldn't judge a book by its cover, but I certainly have, and I'm willing to bet (打赌) you've done it, too. Consider this, though: If I'd let my opinion on, say, the boring cover of John Steinbeck's The Grapes of Wrath stop me from reading this great novel, I would have missed out on one of my favorite books to date. First impressions are important because they can influence you one way or another, but they shouldn't be the be-all and end-all of your opinion on someone.According to Jonathan Freeman, a professor at New York University, first impressions are collected within only a few hundred milliseconds and are often based on the person's facial appearance.“First impressions of faces can influence how we make decisions about people,”Freeman explained in a statement. Therefore, in order to put an end to such first impressions, you have to understand where your first assumptions (假设) come from. In order to do this, a team of researchers in Switzerland performed two experiments: The first required participants to judge the personalities of dozens of people only based on photos they were shown online. For example, in this part of the study, researchers took note of how participants related personality features like friendliness with various appearances. The second experiment explored what kind of facial features were connected with exact personality features. For example, someone who has a round face with “babyish features” might be considered as friendlier ormore harmless than someone who isn't smiley in their photo.The results showed that first impressions often aren't all right. Look, it's really unfortunate that first impressions aren't always right. Still, these first impressions happen regardless of whether or not they're right, so the best thing you can do is try to put your best foot forward without, of course, giving up your authenticity (真实性); you are exactly who you were meant to be, and all you cando is be the best person you can.8. What does the author want to show by mentioning John Steinbeck's novel?A. First impressions are influential.B. The cover of a book is unnecessary.C. We shouldn't judge a book by its cover.D. Few people tend to make judgments at first sight.9. What were the participants asked to do in the first experiment?A. Choose photos they like.B. Relate personalities with photos.C. Show their opinions of smiley faces.D. Talk about their impressions of other participants.10. Which of the following is a finding of the research?A. People find it hard to make a good impression.B. Faces show personality features correctly.C. First impressions are not always reliable.D. One's facial appearance is really important.11. What's the author's advice according to the text?A. Don't be too realistic.B. Try to be your best self.C. Don't be judgmental.D. Disregard others' suggestionsDWhen you think of a national park, you generally picture fresh air and wild animals, right? Well, now you're going to have to add tea shops and something called “the Underground” to your definition (定义), because London, England has signed up to be the first “National Park City.”London was founded by the Romans around 2,000 years ago and people have continually lived there since then. In all that time, however, nobody had the idea to replace all the parks with big box stores or high buildings, which means London already has a much lower urban density (密度) than most of the world's cities. Nowadays about a third of the city is green space.In July 2019, London announced its willingness to become the world's first National Park City. Now the city is moving toward the goal of achieving 50% green space by the year 2050 by connecting and increasing public parks, greening unused parking lots and the private yards of existing and new houses, and fixing some green roofs on existing buildings.“Encouraged by the aims and values of our rural (乡村的) national parks, the London National Park City is basically about making life better in the capital through both small everyday things and long-term thinking,” Daniel Raven-Ellison, who began the movement to make London a National Park City six years ago, said. “We've been doing that in London for centuries, which is why London is so green.” It's about going further to make the city greener, healthier and wilder; making the city richer in wildlife.London will have a much easier job achieving this type of green transformation (转变) than more densely-urbanized cities like Paris and New York, which have 10% and 27% green space, respectively. But that doesn't mean it's not possible — the National Park City Foundation hopes to include 25 more cities in addition to London by the year 2025. Glasgow, Scotland and Newcastle upon Tyne in northeast England are both considering becoming National Park Cities.12. What makes London more likely to become a National Park City than other cities?A. Its smaller population.B. Its locals' requirements.C. Its government's strict law.D. Its wider area of green space.13. Where can you find out about London's measures to achieve its goal?A. In Paragraph 1.B. In Paragraph 2.C. In Paragraph 3.D. In Paragraph 4.14. What does Daniel try to talk about in the fourth paragraph?A. The values of newly-founded parks.B. The importance of his movement.C. The influence of green space on cities.D. The preparation for setting up a movement.15. What would be the best title for the text?A. London is leading the world in park constructionB. London becomes the world's first National Park CityC. London is listed as the world's most-visited cityD. London has built the world's first underground park第二节（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Armed with gloves and trash bags, we spent hours collecting discarded bottles, cans, and plastic waste. It was a laborious task, but the sense of purpose was inspiring. As we cleaned, we also educated visitors about the importance of environmental conservation.The experience was not only about physical labor but also a lesson about community spirit and personal responsibility. I felt a deep sense of accomplishment, knowing that my efforts, however small, contributed to a cleaner and healthier environment.读后续写Possible versionOllie approached me, seemingly to say something. As Mrs. Smith continued to gaze longingly at the poster, he whispered, “Why don’t we give her the extra ticket?” Touched by his thoughtfulness and generosity, I nodded. When we presented her with the ticket, she was overjoyed and lost for words. My dad winked at Ollie, silently expressing gratitude for his kindness. The fair was great, filled with laughter, music, and the freshly baked pies. But the very best part was seeing Mrs. Smith’s broad smile.After the fair, I came up with a plan to make up for Ollie ‘s absence. My family decided to throw a surprise “Family Harvest Fair” in his honor. Besides party decoration, we prepared simple but fun games. We also invited neighbors around. Ollie’s face lit up with surprise and gratitude. During the fair, we baked an “award-winning” pie and gifted him with a classic album bearing Eagles’ autographs. Even though it wasn’t quite the same as the real fair, the genuine laughter and happiness shared among us were equally fulfilling. It was Ollie’s act of kindness that sparked a ripple of lasting joy for us all.试题解析阅读理解阅读A篇1. A2. B3. D【来源】2024年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试抢分卷（三）英语试题【导语】本文是一篇应用文。

One night my world just collapsed, and 20 was my dad who was able to pick up the pieces.My first true love called from a party and 21 my heart.

They were determined to find out if she was really a witch.They watched as she took a broomstick to clean the dirt from her stone steps. But, much to their disappointment, she did not mount the broomstick and take a flight. Suddenly, the old lady’s work was interrupted by the cackling of her hen—a signal that an egg had been laid in the warm nest on the top of the haystack.The old broomstick was put aside as she hobbled (蹒跚) off towards the haystack followed by Sooty, a black cat she had rescued from a fox trap some time back. With only three legs, it was hard for Sooty to keep up with the old lady. The cat provided proof—the children were sure that only a witch could own a black cat with three legs.There, standing on a wooden box, was Mrs. Tailor, stretching out to gather her precious egg. Taking the egg in one of her hands, she began to climb down when, without warning, the box broke and the old lady fell.“We have to go and help her,”whispered Amy.“What if it is a trick?”replied Ben.“Don’t be silly, Ben. If she were a witch, she would have turned us into frogs already,”reasoned Meg.“Come on, Amy! Let’s go.”The girls climbed down the tree and ran all the way to the haystack.Approaching carefully, they could see a wound on the old lady’s face. She had knocked her head on a stone and her ankle was definitely broken.“Go and get Dad,”Amy yelled at her brother.“Tell him about the accident.”The boys did not need another excuse to leave. They ran as fast as they could for help, hoping that Mrs. Tailor would not wake and turn the girls into frogs.40. Why were the children hiding in the tree?A. Because they wanted to watch Mrs. Tailor do her housework closely.B. Because they were playing a hide-and-seek game.C. Because they wanted to find out if the rumors about Mrs. Tailor were true.D.

Chances are 2) ________ you are in the middle of the annual Volleyball Month on our campus.Famous for its professional men’s volleyball team, which is widely thought to be second to none in the whole of Sichuan province, Chengdu No 7 High School really cares 3)_______ keeping its students active. Volleyball, which is considered our school’s signature sport, has always enjoyed a high level of popularity. There was a lot of excitement when the event began.Every class has to take part in the volleyball games, picking out two male teams and two female teams. My team this year was the first team. It played in the first and third sessions , 4)________ the second team, usually not as good as the other one, played in the second session.Newly introduced at the beginning of Senior 2, not much was expected 5)_______our class’s teams. Our female team ended up in a group 6)_______ included teams with great potential. All of us felt uneasy. Faced with the team from class six, which was thought to be 7) _________ (likely ) winner, we had to fight a tough battle . But, hard 8) ________ we tried, we couldn’t win.However, we didn’t lose heart. Instead, we put ourselves back together. On the second day, we won two matches 2-0.9)_______ ______ our teamwork, we succeeded in the fourth match as well. Everybody fought with all of their strength and energy during the game. It was at that moment that I realized it is important to appreciate your teammates, but it is equally important to learn to cheer for the other team.During the competition, I remembered 10) _______had happened the year before. When I was told that I had only been chosen as a substitute for the first team, my pride made me say no and join the second team. After Volleyball Month last fall, I got enthusiastic about volleyball and wanted to improve my ability enough to play for the first team. I joined the school volleyball team, which gave us professional training. I’m aware that I was not born good at it, but I have spent a lot of time working on my skills with great energy.Finally, I made the first team this year.BFor you, the “Clear and Bright” day that falls in every April 11)________ be no more than just another holiday – the fact that it comes with three days off school matters to most students much more than the fact that it is part of the 24 solar terms.But the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization has recognized the importance of the 24 solar terms. This ancient system that Chinese people have used to keep track of the time of year 12)________ ( add ) to the UNESCO list of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity on Nov 30.To be fair, the terms do sound old; they were invented thousands of years ago to offer weather information for agricultural activities. But the truth is that they still have an influence on our lives today, 13)_______ ______ we don’t realize it most of the time.For starters, y ou may have heard your mom say: “The sanfu days are almost over.

The coldest days, or the sanjiu days, are similar. They cover the 27 days 15)_________ (follow) Winter Solstice. And 16) ______ this year’s Winter Solstice (Dec 21) hasn’t arrived, you need to prepare yourself for even colder days that are yet to come.In some places, solar t erms guide people’s lives through special foods, cultural events and healthy living tips.

Instead, the system is a philosophy of time, 20)_______ applies to everything. And this means they are unlikely to die out.Part II. Vocabulary 2’x 20ACupboards with pigeon-holed (小格的) drawers are seen all around the room, giving off different smells. The 21)_______ on the drawers are all written in Chinese characters. The doctor sits at the table and takes pulses rather than relying only on the stethoscope (听诊器) to decide on treatments. This is a 22)________ Chinese pharmacy.To show the special attraction of traditional Chinese medicine, a new documentary called The Tale of Chinese Medicine (《本草中国》) started on Nov 20 on the CCTV-9 Documentary Channel In the documentary, the ways in which people use medicine from Chinese pharmacies to23)________health problems can be seen.For example, many have used special Chinese herbs when they have “caught heat”, also known as “shanghuo” in Mandarin, after eating too much spicy, hot food duri ng the cold winter. According to traditional Chinese medicine, someone’s health is all about the balance of yin and yang. When the yang of someone’s body is stronger, the person hasinner heat. People24)_______ aren’t asked to go to the doctor or take me dicine if they have inner heat. They are just asked to drink a special drink to balance their yin and yang.25)________ known as liangcha, it is a drink made from herbs, not a tea. The drink usually includes honeysuckle (金银花), chrysanthemum (菊花) and wild tuckahoe (茯苓) to balance the heat from what people eat and drink and their surroundings.Drinking herbal tea is a tradition in the Lingnan region, and it is found largely in Guangdong and Guangxi. Dried tangerine peel (陈皮) is another herb the region feels proud of, as it is shown in The Tale of Chinese Medicine. “There are three 26)_______ in Guangdong – dried tangerine peel, old ginger (姜) and straw (禾秆草),” the Cultural China website 27)_______. “But 100-year-old tangerine peel is considered more valuable than gold.”The longer the tangerine peel has been 28)________, the more expensive it becomes. Kept in avault (地窖), with honey used to keep worms and mould away for over 100 years, the tangerine peel is 29)_________ and smells good. And dried tangerine peel has a great effect on getting rid of wind and phlegm (痰), according to the documentary.It also shows red yeast rice (红曲米) being used to make people feel better after overeating and lower their cholesterol (胆固醇).“The documentary aims to show audiences the rich world of Chinese herbs and medicine, 30)_________ moving traditional Chinese medicine stories and show its role in civilization,” the Red Net website commented. “It also reminds people to pay close attention to their health and respect their lives.”BMany runners and gym members feel that music makes exercise more enjoyable. However, they mig ht not know that scientists have found that some kinds of music can improve people’s energy by 15 percent. This was discovered by Costas Karageorghis at Brunel University’s School of Sport and Education in London. Karageorghis has worked with 31)________ such as Nike and with many champion athletes. In the study, 30 people listened to 32)________ music by Queen, the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Madonna. They did exercise at the same time.Nerve communication “stopped”When they were doing exercise in 33)______ with the music, people showed higher energy levels. Even when they were doing very hard exercise, they were 34)_______ about how they felt. When people are doing exercise, their nerves send messages 35)________ that their body is getting tired. However, when they are listening to music at the same time, these messages are 36)_______. Karageorghis thinks this is because the music causes part of the brain to send different messages to the body that make it feel happy and relaxed.Different effectsKarageorgh is’ work shows that different types of music can have different effects on different people. The effect of some music can also depend on how tiring the exercise is. Karageorghis saidthat people who have extroverted (外向的) personalities prefer faster and louder kinds of music 37)________ to people who have a reserved personality. This is because, for the music to have an effect, the brains of extroverted people need more 38)________ than the brains of reserved people. Reserved people want to feel less worried and so have better results when the music makes them feel relaxed.Karageorghis was asked to provide music for the “Run to the Beat” half marathon in the UK, and which has also now started in other countries. “I also have lots of other exciting39)_________ that I am working on,” said Karageorghis. One of these is to find out if the40)_______ of the music we listen to has an effect on our heart rate whi le we exercise.Part III. Reading 2’x4At 23, my career got going. I was midway through a master’s degree at The London School of Economics and Political Science and had been hired as a part-time reporter for a finance website. ________________41________________However, balancing graduate studies with work was challenging. To deal with it, I checked my real self at my office door. ______________42___________The small team I worked with often seemed busy, so rather than giving ideas that might get turned down, I stayed back.After four months, my boss called me into his office. The meeting was going well until hetold me that despite the great work I had produced, the team had held a meeting and decided, “We don’t think it’s the right fit.”I must have looked confused. “You’re ambitious, intelligent and will be very successful,” my boss said. “But you haven’t made enough of an effort to join the team. You lost the enthusiasm you showed in your interview. That won’t work long term, and if I could give you one piece of advice, it would be to let your guard down.”_____________43___________ But I knew my boss was right.
