2023-2024学年广东省深圳市名校高二上学期10月联考英语试题Here are four beautiful lakes in the world, each of which can be your next destination.Lake Bled, SloveniaFew lakes in Europe come as postcard-ready as Slovenia's Lake Bled. Located in the snow-capped Julian Alps about a 45-minute drive outside of the capital city of Ljubljana, it’s best known for the fairytale-like Church of the Assumption, which sits on a pocket-sized island in the lake and has been attracting visitors for centuries.Lake Annecy, FranceThanks to strict environmental rules set in place in the 1960s, Lake Annecy is an undamaged body of water that's often called the cleanest lake in Europe. As a home base, you can't beat Annecy, which has been called the Venice of the Alps for its series of canals, and the Imperial Palace, which has more than 100 years.Lake Vattern, SwedenDuring a Swedish summer, there are few better places to enjoy the endless summer nights than sitting by the nation's lakes. Among the lakes, the most charming is this finger-shaped lake about a 3-hour drive southwest of Stockholm, surrounded by historic settlements like Hjo ,a beautifully preserved town on the lake's western shore.Qinghai Lake, ChinaLocated in northwest China, Qinghai Lake enjoys a climate with low rainfalls. When looking into the distance from a high place, you can enjoy a photographic view of the revolving evergreen mountains, clear and glittering water, beautiful grassland and groups of sheep.1. What can we learn about Lake Annecy?A．It is under good protection.B．It is located on an island.C．It's the cleanest globally.D．It is known for an old church.2. What does Lake Vattern look like?A．A circle. B．A pocket. C．A finger. D．a foot.3. Which can give you the view of the attractive grassland and groups of sheep?A．Lake Bled. B．Lake Annecy.C．Lake Vättern. D．Qinghai Lake.It takes Sanduk Ruit about five minutes to change someone's life. The Nepalese doctor can make a small incision（切口）in his patient＇s eye，remove the cataract（白内障）damaging the patient's vision and replace it with an inexpensive artificial lens. He said, “Some of our younger doctors even do it faster than that.”In the past decades, Ruit has personally restored the sight of more than 100,000 people across Asia and Africa, and taught his rapid-fire technique to countless other eye doctors in parts of the world. His patients suffer from eye conditions that are mostly preventable. But because of poverty and limited access to public health services, they have been unable to seek treatment. Their stories are all too common in the developing world.Driven by a belief that the world's poorest people deserve safe, affordable and high-quality eye care just as much as anyone else, Ruit has made it his mission to root out avoidable blindness.In 1994,he joined the late Australian eye doctor Fred Hollows, who was his mentor and close friend, in establishing Tilganga Institute of Ophthalmology-an eye hospital in Kathmandu devoted to providing world-class eyecare for the people of Nepal. The hospital makes the state-of-the-art lens that is commonly used in treating cataracts or myopia, and exports it to more than 30 countries worldwide.For the patients who cannot reach urban areas, Ruit and his team conduct mobile eye camps in remote parts of Nepal and neighboring countries. They often trek for days to those areas and clean out structures like tents, classrooms or even stables for use as temporary operating rooms. When the eyepatches（眼罩）come off the day after an operation，it’s an extremely moving moment for all relevant persons. Ruit said that he was so grateful that he could make a difference in so many people's lives.4. What do we know about Ruit?A．He refused to do operations for the rich.B．He wasn't mean with his excellent technique.C．He joined Fred Hollows in the nineteenth century.D．He restored more than a million people's sight in person.5. What inspires Ruit to fight against avoidable blindness?A．Making a lot of money.B．Obtaining relevant data to write scientific papers.C．The desire to make his technique well-known.D．The idea that all sick people should get proper treatment.6. Which of the following could best describe Ruit?A．Kind-hearted and responsible.B．Friendly and energetic.C．Open-minded and outgoing.D．Clever and brave.7. In which section of a newspaper can we find the text?A．Science. B．Sports. C．Education. D．Figures.As climate change causes ocean temperatures to rise, one of Greenland's previously most stable glaciers is now reducing at an unheard-of rate, according to a new study.The study was led by researchers at The Ohio State University. The team found the truth. Between 2018 and 2021, Steenstrup Glacier in Greenland reduced about 5 miles, thinned by about 20% and doubled in the amount of ice that went into the ocean. According to the study, such a rapid change is so extraordinary among Greenland's ice formations that it now places Steenstrup Glacier in the top 10% of glaciers that contribute to the entire region's total ice discharge.Steenstrup Glacier is part of the Greenland Ice Sheet, a body of ice that covers nearly 80% of the world's largest island, which is also the single largest contributor to the global sea rise from the cryosphere（冰冻圈），the portion of Earth＇s ecosystem that includes all of its frozen water. While the region plays a crucial part in balancing the global climate system, the area is steadily reducing as it loses hundreds of billions of tons of ice each year because of global warming.As far as scientists knew, Steenstrup Glacier had been stable for decades. It was hardly influenced by the rising temperatures that had influenced so many other regional glaciers, likely because of its special position in shallow water. It wasn't until Thomas Chudley ,lead author of the study, and his colleagues collected observational and modeling data from previous remote sensing analyses on the glacier that the team realized Steenstrup Glacier was likely experiencing melting due to anomalies （反常现象）in deeper Atlantic water.According to Chudley, the current situation in Greenland serves as an early warning sign for possible future events in West Antarctica within the next few centuries. He also expressed the importance of conducting direct observations in the fjord to understand the reasons behind the changes observed in Steenstrup Glacier,8. Why does the author mention the figures in paragraph 2?A．To count the number of global glaciers.B．To show the severity of melting glaciers.C．To tell people the percentage of glacier water.D．To stress the consequence of global warming.9. What possibly makes Steenstrup Glacier stable for a long time?A．Its location. B．Its content. C．Its sort. D．Its big coverage.10. What is Chudley's attitude to the current situation in Greenland?A．Optimistic. B．Concerned. C．Disappointed. D．Confident.11. What is the main idea of the text?A．A once-stable glacier in Greenland is now rapidly disappearing.B．The Steenstrup Glacier is the largest contributor to the global sea rise.C．Researchers try to enter Greenland to observe how it has changed.D．Glaciers play a crucial part in balancing the global climate system.Many international students studying abroad in America have several supposed ideas about American culture. After visiting the country, many international students showed the culture shock they received in America. Here are some culture shocks in America that most of the international students came across.It's surprising to note that kids, the youth and adults refer to each other with their first names, This is a very uncommon sight. Many international students might find it surprising and take time to adjust to this tradition.Another culture shock is that, in America, there could be only one or two classes a day. Usually, they’re conducted in the afternoon or in the evening. This means the students get enough time to sleep late， wake up around noon and have time for different chores（琐事）.Besides, having convenience in the schedule of classes, students also enjoy long hours of breaks.Among the many culture shocks in America, multiple languages are quite common there. Many international students would move to America, believing that the only language is English. However, that's not the case. The citizens commonly speak languages such as Spanish, French, German, Chinese and others, So if you're comfortable with any of the above-mentioned languages, you might get surprises.Many international students are used to using kilograms, metres, litres, degrees centigrade as the units of weight, length, volume, temperature. But they might be perplexed to see a different metric system in America. There, pounds, feet and Fahrenheit are usually used as units for measurements. This system is quite puzzling to comprehend at the beginning for many international students.Many international students might find various culture shocks in America depending on the background they come from. Thus, they may need a long time to adjust themselves to the unfamiliar environment.12. What may make international students surprised at school?A．Adults are often referred to with their titles.B．The number of classes is fewer than expected.C．Kids refer to adults with their family names.D．Students can freely do different chores in class.13. Why do international students care little about language barriers in America?A．English there is easy to understand.B．All of them can speak English fluently.C．There are several other official languages.D．They may be able to use their native languages there.14. Wat does the underlined word “perplexed” mean in paragraph 5?A．Interested. B．Frightened. C．Confused. D．Excited.15. What is the best title for the text?A．Multicultural Experiences Are Waiting for YouB．International Students Are Welcome to AmericaC．Culture Shocks International Students May Experience in AmericaD．Reasons Why There Are a Large Number of Culture Shocks in AmericaHow to plan a graduation party step by stepIs someone in your life about to graduate from school? 16 So It is very important to get started by studying this party planning list.Determine your budget17 Determine how much you'd like to spend on food and drinks per person, plus the cost of the decorations, entertainment, and location rental. You can use an online party budget calculator to help you easily estimate your costs. If possible, co-host a party and share expenses with two or three families, all of whom have a graduate from a similar school or situation.18Determine if you or the guest-of-honor want to invite the entire graduating class to attend, a large bash of your closest friends and family, or whether it will be a more intimate family party. It's perfectly acceptable to invite a few special guests to a graduation party, such as beloved teachers, coaches, or other faculty members. It's also up to the host whether or not children of guests can attend.Choose a locationThrowing a party at home may save you money, it's easy to personalize, and it can be a welcoming and comforting place for others to gather. On the other hand, having a party at home is the labor and time that goes into cleaning your house before and after the party. The advantage of having a party at a restaurant or other venue is the ease of relying on an on-site manager or planner to handle the details, including the clean-up, which lets you have plenty of time to socialize. 19Pick a party timeTiming can be tricky when it comes to graduation parties. May and June are often the busiest months for most families of graduates. 20 One solution can be to combine a summer holiday with agraduation party when your family might be traveling to get together, such as on Memorial Day weekend, Father's Day, or July 4th.Three years ago, I spotted a video of someone making resin (树脂) art. He _________ poured and mixed colors together. I could n’t _________ thinking about its beauty for nights.

浙江省杭州市四校联考2023-2024学年高二上学期10月月考英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解Escaping the crowds is all the more important this summer. We pick some of our favourite beaches for a day on the coast with the kids.Earnse Bay, CumbriaFew people come to Cumbria for its beaches, but west-facing, empty Earnse Bay on Walney Island (you’ll reach it across a bridge from Barrow-in-Furness) is perfect for a picnic. Views of the largest wind farm in Europe, the mountains of the Isle of Man and, on a clear day, Snowdonia, can be spectacular.Blackgang Beach, Isle of WightBlackgang Beach is surely one of the least visited of all the island’s beaches and getting there’s as much fun as being there: you have to slide down a steep, sometimes slippery (but generally safe) path from Niton. The payoff is a glorious beach, overlooked by a magnificent sandstone cliff that looks like a vast slab(厚板)of honeycomb.Chapman’s Pool,DorsetTucked away on Dorset’s Isle of Purbeck, Chapman’s Pool is far quieter than its better-known neighbour, Lulworth Cove. Its beauty is more than worth the modest effort needed to guide the footpath to the sand and storm. And as this is the Jurassic Coast, the kids will have every chance of finding shell fossils and small bits of Paleolithic reptiles.Embleton Bay, NorthumberlandEmbleton Bay hides in plain sight behind the commanding Dunstanburgh Castle. Even on the sunniest day you can wander, fly a kite or watch seabirds with few concerns about social distancing. The castle looks like something a six-year-old might draw, perched on a cliff, with crumbling ramparts and a huge portcullis.1．What do these beaches have in common?A．They are all perfect for picnics.B．They all have cliffs and castles.C．They are all suitable for camping.D．They all can provide a noise-free day.2．Which beach best suits bird-lovers?A．Earnse Bay.B．Embleton Bay.C．Chapman’s Pool.D．Blackgang Beach.3．In which section of a newspaper does this text probably appear?A．Travel.B．Health.C．Culture.D．Sports.Zhu Zhiwen, in his 30s,has been on the road, on his most recent bicycle trip since March.Zhu started this adventure, an “Olympic trip”, from Beijing and had spent several months going across the country’s vast land, including Shijiazhuang of Hebei province and Urumqi of the Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region.“My destination is Paris, France, before the Summer Olympics on July 26, 2024,” says Zhu, who was originally from a small village in East China’s Jiangxi province. “It’s my way of celebrating the Games.”Over the past 11 years, Zhu has traveled through 45 countries and regions across four continents, covering a distance of over 90,000 kilometers. From Asia to Africa, from South America to North America, he has encountered many wonderful people and experiences, and witnessed various unique customs.People’s good will has been a highlight of his trips. “I met a small hotel owner when I was cycling in Ecuador, South America, in 2016. After I knew the owner had been to China multiple times and was a fan of the Chinese culture and food, I took the initiative to cook him a Chinese dinner. He was very happy and, in return, offered me a night of accommodation for free,” Zhu says.Yet, it hasn’t all been smooth riding. Zhu came across severe weather on his way to the Arctic in 2020.Moreover, he suffered robberies during his stay in South Africa and escaped attacks from bears and other wild animals in Canada.After the Olympic tour, Zhu says he will continue to explore the world on his bicycleand fulfill his childhood dream of touring the whole world with his feet. Being an experienced traveler, Zhu has often been asked about his understanding of travel. “I think it is to accept what is possible during travel and get pleasure from it, no matter if it is good or bad,” Zhu says.4．Why did Zhu Zhiwen start his recent bicycle trip?A．To bicycle across China’s vast land.B．To visit his birthplace in Jiangxi province.C．To reach his destination before July 26, 2024.D．To celebrate the Summer Olympics in Paris, France.5．What’s Zhu Zhiwen’s purpose in mentioning his trip in Ecuador?A．To express his gratitude to a hotel owner.B．To present his skill in cooking Chinese dinner.C．To show people’s kindness he experienced in his trips.D．To introduce a devoted fan of Chinese culture and food.6．What do we know about Zhu Zhiwen’s bicycle journey?A．It is a bitter-sweet riding for Zhu Zhiwen.B．People’s good will fails to impress Zhu Zhiwen.C．Zhu Zhiwen has traveled through all the countries in Asia.D．Zhu Zhiwen gave up his trip in Canada for the attacks from wild animals.7．What does travel mean to Zhu Zhiwen?A．Fulfilling his lifelong dream.B．Exploring the entire world by bicycle.C．Becoming an experienced adventurer.D．Embracing all the experiences travel offers.Detecting drugs used to be a special job for dogs, but now a drug detection team is welcoming some new colleagues-squirrels. Six Eurasian red squirrels were trained and approved for work responsibilities by police in Chongqing in February.Squirrels have a sharp sense of smell as they can smell food under a foot (about 30 centimeters) of snow. Being so small and quick, the “newcomers” are able to search for drugs in places where dogs may not be able to reach, such as in narrow spaces or on top of packages stacked (堆) high in warehouses. The squirrels have been trained to use their claws to scratchat boxes in order to catch their handlers’ attention if they detect drugs, according to local Chongqing police authorities.“Our self-developed training system can be applied to the training of various animals,” Yin Jin, a police dog handler in Chongqing, told Global Times, adding that the training has really good results as the squirrels can quickly identify drugs. Although the system is designed for dogs, it can show some information on how squirrels are trained as well.According to a research article published in the journal China Working Dog which details the program，conditioning the animals' reflexes (反射) is the key factor. First，the animals are familiarized with the target’s smell and do special gestures when they smell their target. For example, for explosive detection dogs, the handlers place pieces of cloth with the smell of the explosives next to the dogs’ food.Next, the animals learn to search for the target under various conditions. From a large number of luggage bags to people walking in crowds, the handlers create different situations to test the animals. If the animals successfully identify the location of the target, the animals are then rewarded with snacks and other treats. The animals are soon able to search for targets spontaneously (自动地), showing that the conditioned reflex has been built in them. Their training ends with practice sessions in real-life scenarios.8．What would the squirrels do once they identify drugs?A．Use their claws to take the drugs.B．Enjoy treats from the handlers.C．Scratch at the surface of packages.D．Search for drugs with the same smell.9．What is one advantage of using squirrels for drug detection mentioned in the article?A．Squirrels can detect drugs hidden under the earth.B．Squirrels are better at identifying explosives than dogs.C．Squirrels can access narrow spaces or high packages in warehouses.D．Squirrels requires less training compared to police dogs for drug detection. 10．What is of vital importance for the animals’ successful detection?A．Developing the immediate reactions of animals.B．Familiarizing the animals with the target’s smell.C．Doing special gestures when they smell their target.D．Involving practice sessions under different conditions.11．Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?A．The Role of Animals in Drug DetectionB．A New Member in the Drug Detection ForceC．The Challenges of Training Squirrels for Drug DetectionD．Chongqing Police’s Training Program for Sniffer AnimalsA decade ago, I attended a banquet in Guangzhou where the food was exceptional. The bird’s nest soup, made from chicken and possibly ham with dried scallops (干贝), was gentle and slippery. The sea cucumber was rich and sticky, and the fish was sparklingly fresh and steamed to perfection. However, what stood out was the plain white soup of broth (肉汁), served at the end. It was simple, plain, and perfect.Ending a banquet with soup may seem odd to Westerners, who are used to sweets at the end of meals. But as an English food writer named Fuchsia Dunlop explains in her book Invitation to a Banquet, soup is a unique expression of a chef’s art, much like a singer’s voice. The transparent, almost invisible soup is an ideal conclusion to a banquet, with its luxury and strong flavors.Invitation to a Banquet is Dunlop’s seventh book. Unlike her other books on Chinese cuisine such as The Food of Sichuan and Revolutionary Kitchen, this one is not a cookbook. Instead, she has chosen 30 dishes from different regions of China to illustrate different aspects of Chinese cuisine and history.What makes Dunlop’s writing unique is her perspective. She argues that Chinese cuisine is superior (更胜一筹的) not only in taste but also in its ability to incorporate foreign influences while still maintaining its own identity. Furthermore, Dunlop makes an equally compelling case that what Westerners think of as “Chinese food” is neither false nor wrong. It is merely a diasporic (离散的) branch that reflects local tastes and is representative of the cuisine’s diversity. Immigration and adventurousness have made authentic Chinese food more accessible outside China than ever before.In conclusion, Invitation to a Banquet by Fuchsia Dunlop provides a fascinating glimpse into the world of Chinese cuisine. Through her well-researched book and insightful discussions, she encourages readers to appreciate the complexity and richness of Chinese food.12．To the author, what is the most memorable dish about the banquet in Guangzhou?A．A sweet dessert.B．A bowl of plain white soup.C．A dish made from expensive ingredients.D．A fish that was rich and strong-flavoured.13．What does the underlined word “incorporate” mean in Paragraph 4?A．Include.B．Reject.C．Strengthen.D．Reduce.14．What is the unique perspective of Chinese cuisine in her book Invitation to a Banquet?A．Chinese desserts are the highlight of Chinese cuisine.B．Immigration makes little difference to Chinese dishes.C．Chinese food is limited to traditional ingredients and flavors.D．Chinese food is influenced by foreign elements while preserving its own identity. 15．What’s purpose of writing the passage?A．To introduce a dish.B．To recommend a book.C．To share an experience.D．To compare different cultures.二、七选五Friends are the family you choose. They may even be in a similar life stage as you are.16 Here are some ways you can thank friends for their unconditional support.1. 17Music can get people through some very challenging times in their lives. Make a playlist featuring songs about gratitude for your fiends. Let your friends know those songs represent the way you feel about their presence in your life. Music is a great way to develop a good sense of emotional connection.2.Send a thank youIt’s always nice to take time to reflect on the people you know and think of how they’ve changed your life. Take a moment to write down all the things you appreciate about yourfriend. You can send it to your friend in an email or go the old-fashioned route and put pen to paper. 183.Listen to the responsePart of what we love about our friends is how much they’re there for us in times of need. Friends are often sounding boards and unpaid therapists(治疗师). 19 .Your friends may be facing the same kinds of uncertainty and anxiety that you are right now. As much as you may need to express, you need to listen and empathize, too.No one knows us as well as our friends know us. It can be easy to forget to thank your friends for the ways that they support us. 20 Be sure to express your gratitude to them.A．Make them a playlistB．Create a gratitude playlistC．Don’t take your friends for grantedD．Give your friends support and care by spending time togetherE．Even a quick text is a simple but effective way of expressing your gratitudeF．This means they may understand you even better than some of your family members G．Make sure you’re holding up your end of the relationship by doing the same thing for them三、完形填空forehead.Naoko returned home and told his neighbors about his wonderful night with the elves.

The grey tiles covering houses in the county sea give it a rather drab feel. Locals often have to find work elsewhere, travelling to distant factories and construction sites.Yet this summer it was Chinese from far-off cities who flocked to Rongjiang. They came to watch an amateur football league involving 20 of the county’s villages. It started in May and quickly became a 11 . Weekend matches between teams made up of butchers and farmers drew crowds of nearly 50, 000, straining the local stadium. Millions more watched on Weibo, a Twitter-like platform, and Douyin, the Chinese version of TikTok.There are many reasons behind the popularity of the Rongjiang league, which is men only. Start with the 12 of professional football. Despite decades of investment, the country’s players are not ve ry good. The men’s national team, made up of players from China’s top league, ranks 78th in the world (the women rank 14th). It has only qualified for the World Cup once, in 2002, when it failed to score a single goal.The Rongjiang league, by contrast, has an authentic, even wholesome feel. Football in the county dates back to the 1940s, when it was 13 by university students who were fleeing China’s cities during the invasion by Japan. Today the games are free to watch and feel enjoyably low pressure. Players 14 off their missed shots with smiles. After a penalty shoot-out in the semi-finals, fans swarmed the pitch waving China’s national flag. The winners of this year’s tournament, from a village in Chejiang township, walked away with a cow. The two runners-up won three pigs and three goats, respectively.The league’s cultural diversity is another 15 . The players come from several minority ethnic groups, of which the biggest are the Dong and the Miao. During breaks in the matches, villagers in traditional silver headdresses often dance for the crowd.To the delight of officials at all levels, the league appears to have stimulated the local economy. During the Dragon Boat festival in June tourism spending 16 up, much of it coming from football fans. Vendors at the hundreds of stalls set up by the local government outside the stadium 17 a brisk trade. A man hawking barbecue skewers says he has doubled his income.But there are concerns that the success of Rongjiang may be fleeting. Attracting crowds to this part of China is not easy. The city of Zibo, in the northern province of Shandong, provides a 18 tale. It became a social-media phenomenon when word of its delicious kebabs began making the rounds earlier this year. Tourists flocked to the city, where officials turned arenas into makeshift dining halls. But after a few months of this barbecue craze, interest in Zibo slumped.Still, officials think they have found a winning strategy for the countryside. A new football league began this month and will 19 until October. It involves nearly 300 amateur teams from all around China. Each is named after a food. On August 13th a team called the Sour Soups from the nearby city of Kaili beat the Bamboo Shoots from the southern province of Guangdong. The stadium in Rongjiang was still 20 .Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.later, in 1985, New Coke was introduced to replace the original recipe of Coke in order to rebrand the product amidst falling sales——Coke was losing customers to Pepsi, whose sweeter taste was finding 21 . Unfortunately, the Coca-Cola Company saw a significant drop in sales soon after the release of New Coke. Some customers just preferred the “classic” recipe. The old adage(格言), “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it,” s eems to apply here.Something similar is happening with A Bite of China, a 22 food documentary focusing on the stories, traditions and culture surrounding interesting regional dishes from around China. The first two seasons of the show saw great success. However, when the third season began last month, the reviewers were not so “sweet”. With an entirely new production team, Season Three steers away from(偏离) the show’s core focus on 23 dishes and towards intimate life stories, non-food-related subject matter and even product placement(植入广告).In the first episode of Season Two, a teenager in the countryside collects honey high up in a tree. The scene is stunningly filmed, telling a moving story about the dangerous 24 to which people go to gather food for their families. In the third season, however, the focus is taken almost completely away from the food. In one of its most infamous episodes, DIY lipstick using questionable ingredients bought online is 25 . Viewer response has been swift and severe, with several commentators wondering whether it is still suitable to call the show a food documentary. The production crew have 26 the changes, claiming that the innovation is meant to keep the show fresh and interesting to an expanding audience. While this may 27 in part, to explain the show’s creative differences from previous seasons, it doesn’t 28 the show’s declining professionalism, which has led to some silly mistakes such as mixing up ingredients or confusing the correct names of regional dishes.Innovation is generally 29 in industries big and small, but a winning formula that has popular 30 is not necessarily something that requires changes. Innovation is a tool often best used when a new direction is called for. By trying to reinvent the whe el, one might just end up with a flat tire. It’s time that A Bite of China took a page out of Coca-Cola’s playbook and returned to the classic recipe, where success has never tasted so sweet.Probably the number one complaint about reading Shakespeare is that it doesn’t always read like “normal” English. It’s a natural and reasonable ______. Shakespeare wrote for an audience over 400 years ago. Think about how word meanings and expressions change over a relatively short time; four centuries bring with them a lot of______. The Renaissance and England’s emerging status as a sea power ______ the language to an ever-increasing range of cultures and languages. At the same time, there was no real standardization in English. Formal dictionaries and grammar textbooks ______ did not exit, and “proper education focused much more on classical Latin than on colloquial English. Despite this neglect- or perhaps because of it-English by the reign of Elizabeth had a certain flexibility to it, of which Shakespeare ______.So how can a reader today______ that gap between then and now? There are two critical areasto______: word usage and grammar. Once you understand there fundamental concepts, Shakespeare becomes a lot more ______. First and foremost, there have been numerous vocabulary changes inEnglish since Shakespeare was writing. While many words are still recognizable today, others have shifted in their meaning or dropped altogether from usage. ______, when was the last time you heard anyone use words such as bodkin (a piercing tool), contumely (verbal abuse), or fardel (a bundle)? Often the context in which a word is used will help you determine its meaning. A good______ with detailed footnotes will help you, as well as a good dictionary. The main thing is to be aware that even a familiar word from today may be used within a different meaning in Shakespeare’s works. Grammar is where the ______ of Shakespeare English is often most apparent. Parts of speech are frequently ______, such as nouns or adjectives becoming verbs. Verbs and subjects don’t always ______. Even sentence construction can be ______, with inversions of the basic subject-verb-object order. ______ we would say, “John caught the ball”, Shakespeare might treat the same statement with the same meaning as “John the ball caught” or “The ball John caught.”31.A．oppression B．accusation C．direction D．appreciation 32.A．specifics B．alternations C．improvements D．incidents33.A．exposed B．led C．contacted D．linked34.A．roughly B．arguably C．simply D．essentially35.A．took pride B．kept track C．took advantage D．gave way36.A．widen B．avoid C．embrace D．bridge37.A．address B．deal C．learn D．undertake38.A．unchanged B．easy C．accessible D．qualified39.A．In other words B．For example C．Above all D．By contrast 40.A．edition B．medium C．recollection D．download41.A．confusion B．mixture C．achievement D．flexibility42.A．switched B．substituted C．excluded D．commanded 43.A．connect B．guarantee C．agree D．neglect44.A．pitiful B．independent C．unique D．trick45.A．Before B．While C．Providing D．Since"A woman's life isn't complete until she has________ ."says Lao Bai as he toasts his friends at the dinner table. The line is produced at the dinner party，a________ scene from the latest romantic comedy B for Busy（爱情神话），which is starred by attractive actresses such as Ma Yili, Ni Hongjie and Wu Yue.With the audience merrily immersed in the carefully designed plots and lines of the film, the________ of feminist consciousness is distinctly perceived. Indeed, the film featuring the local culture of Shanghai took only a few days to become the highest-rated Chinese movie of 2021 on Douban because the film, as opposed to a wealth of other conventional films, ________ the traditional male gaze, pushing the boundaries of female empowerment even further. As the line at the beginning implies, more and more Chinese women are going all out to ________ themselves from the traditional restrictions set by men and to erase huge sexist bias with great achievements. Have those women pioneers achieved a huge success in the male's world? Not nearly.With the opening of the Winter Olympics in Beijing, a grieving ________ unkindly unfolded online before all the Chinese people. One is Eileen Gu, the 18-year-old skier winning two gold medals for China; the other is a chained mother of eight locked in a doorless hut.The huge gap between them serves as a ________ reminder that the poverty gap remains hard to bridge in China. The extent of a person's ________ determines how cozy his/her life turns out to be.A simple but underlying principle is that the wealthier you are, the wider access you will have to novelties, which will further your ________ on the world. Accordingly, in relatively wealthy areas, the prominent Eileen Gu stands a chance to pursue her dream and secure perfect skiing abilities, thus greeting herself with spiritual gratification in self-fulfillment. ________ in comparatively destitute areas, women are denied the access to self-refinement, subjected to men's incurable obsession with having ________ and thus they reluctantly perform the mission of carrying on the family line-forhusbands. The fundamental cause of it comes down to poverty, resulting in the poor's limited horizons, which invariably contribute to ________ misconduct.On a whole scale, China still has a long way to go because it has just ________ the relief of absolute poverty, not relative poverty. Even if relative poverty is tackled, a lag period awaits before the________ of deep-rooted concept resulting from it, requiring women's continuous fight.Thereby, as we take a close look at our country, attention should not be ________ paid to those glorious sportswomen; spotlight also needs to be cast upon those unfortunate women trapped in deep darkness. Be it Eileen Gu or the chained woman in Xuzhou, each one of them, as Lao Bai introduces himself in B for Busy, represents a different and real part of China.46.A．married B．rebelled C．sacrificed D．paid47.A．tragic B．historic C．pitiful D．splendid48.A．skepticism B．awakening C．threat D．dedication49.C．casts light on D．steers away from A．stands the test of B．keeps in linewith50.A．celebrate B．contain C．unleash D．abandon51.A．issue B．pair C．contrast D．report52.A．sore B．timely C．merciful D．constant53.A．knowledge B．horizon C．status D．richness54.A．impact B．outlook C．opponent D．inability55.A．prediction B．interaction C．suspicion D．reflection56.A．marriage B．wealth C．offspring D．career57.A．sensible B．subjective C．demanding D．absurd58.A．realized B．converted C．reversed D．triggered59.A．understanding B．preservation C．elimination D．acknowledge60.A．repeatedly B．fundamentally C．constructively D．exclusivelyTVs are entering a new phase. Just when we were getting used to Ultra HD 4K televisions, the industry is gearing up to start pushing (still extremely pricey) upgrades to 8K sets. And talk about weird: Samsung and Apple became official frenemies by including an app for iTunes on Samsung’s newest TVs.Walking the show floor this year, I picked these products — some practical, some downright strange—that captured the spirit of where things are headed … or at least the creativity that makes CES (消费电子展) so much fun.This is 2019’s must-have television for billionaires and wannabe James Bonds. With the tap of a button, LG’s 65-inch TV dramatically rises from a long box where it is rolled up inside. How did they do that? The screen uses plastic and OLED tech, which in addition to having fantastic image quality is also capabl e of bending. (Coming this year, we’ll also be getting smartphones with foldable OLED screens.) The idea is you can place your TV in front of a window without having it block the view all the time. But with a TV like this, who wants to be inconspicuous? Go ahead and show off: LG says it can withstand being rolled up for at least 50, 000 cycles.Samsung TVs will now support an app for Apple’s iTunes movies and TV shows. That means you can buy video from Apple without plugging in Apple’s own streaming box, th e Apple TV. And new sets from a variety of makers including Samsung and LG will also support AirPlay 2, Apple’s tech for beaming music, pictures and video from iPhones and Macs to the big screen. Why is Apple suddenly playing nice with other hardware brand s? It’s part of a bigger push by the tech giant into making money through services, including subscriptions for music and (perhaps soon) streaming video.61. According to the passage, what’s the author’s identity?A．Samsung TVs’ salesperson.B．LG’s salespe rson.C．A field staff of CES. D．An journalist covering CES.62. The underlined word “inconspicuous” in the passage can be replaced by ______.A．modest B．luxurious C．timid D．exaggerated63. According to the passage, which of the following descriptions of the newest TV is wrong?A．It has been gearing up to start pushing upgrades to 8K sets.B．It is still very pricey for its high-tech and fascinating quality.C．Its screen uses plastic and OLED tech so that it can bend.D．It is portable and supports AirPlay 2 now.64. According to the passage, which of the following words can be used to describe the author’s attitude towards these new TV sets?A．Neutral. B．Pessimistic. C．Compromising. D．Positive.Weekend deals: Items to make tax prep easierTax season is in full gear, and the April 15th deadline will be here before you know it.

Well, not any more it is not.Suddenly, Britain looks to have fallen out with its favourite historical form. This could be no more than a passing literary craze, but it also points to a broader truth about how we now approach thepast: less concerned with learning from forefathers and more interested in feeling their pain. Today, we want empathy, not inspiration.From the earliest days of the Renaissance, the writing of history meant recounting the exemplary lives of great men. In 1337, Petrarch began work on his rambling writing De Viris Illustribus (On Famous Men), highlighting the virtus (or virtue) of classical heroes. Petrarch celebrated their greatness in conquering fortune and rising to the top. This was the biographical tradition which Niccolo Machiavelli turned on its head. In The Prince, he championed cunning, ruthlessness, and boldness, rather than virtue, mercy and justice, as the skills of successful leaders.Over time, the attributes of greatness shifted. The Romantics commemorated the leading painters and authors of their day, stressing the un iqueness of the artist’s personal experience rather than public glory. By contrast, the Victorian author Samual Smiles wrote Self-Help as a catalogue of the worthy lives of engineers, industrialists and explores. “The valuable examples which they furnish o f the power of self-help, if patient purpose, resolute working and steadfast integrity, issuing in the formulation of truly noble and many character, exhibit,” wrote Smiles. “what it is in the power of each to accomplish for himself.” His biographies of Ja mes Walt, Richard Arkwright and Josiah Wedgwood were held up as beacons to guide the working man through his difficult life.This was all a bit bourgeois (庸俗的) for Thomas Carlyle, who focused his biographies on the truly heroic lives of Martin Luther, Oliver Cromwell and Napoleon Bonaparte. These epochal figures represented lives hard to imitate, but to be acknowledged as possessing higher authority than mere mortals.Not everyone was convinced by such bombast (浮夸的描写): “The history of all existing society i s the history of class struggle” wrote Marx and Engels in The Communist Manifesto. “It is man, real living man, who does all that.” And history should be the story of the masses and their record of struggle.This was the tradition which revolutionized our appreciation of the past. It transformed the public history: downstairs became just as fascinating as upstairs. In place of Thomas Carlyle, Britain nurtured Christopher Hill, EP Thompson and Eric Hobsbawm. Whole new realms of understanding—from gender to race to cultural studies—were opened up as scholars unpicked the diversity of lost societies.68. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 1 mean?A．History is no more than a pressing literary craze.B．History should be the story of some epochal heroes.C．History is a guide through a tough life for working men.D．History should be inspirational rather than empathetic.69. According to the article, ______ dismissed virtues as unnecessary for successful rulers.A．Petrarch B．Samuel SmilesC．Thomas Carlyle D．Niccolo Machiavelli70. According to the article, Marx and Engels ______.A．emphasized the virtues of real living menB．stressed the uniqueness of personal experiencesC．focused on the worthy lives of truly heroic peopleD．held that it is the people who make their own history71. What can we infer from the article?A．How people appreciate the past has never changed.B．History from below stood alongside biographies of great men.C．New realms of understanding great men in history were opened up.D．Christopher Hill, EP Thompson, and Eric Hobsbaw m were Victorian sages.How Much Exercise Your Dog Really NeedsIs a walk around the block or playing fetch in the backyard enough for your pooch? If your dog could talk this is what she would tell you.You’re barking up the wrong treeFamily tree that is. Hundreds of years of breed-specific genetics run through your dog’s veins, and it’s best to cater to their genetics for optimal mental and physical health. 72 . On the other hand, some toy breeds, such as the Shih Tzu and Pekinese, prefer snuggle time over leash time—these breeds were bred to be lap dogs for royalty. Here’s your official guide for picking the best dog for your family.I gotta move!Sorry, a quick game of fetch while you sit on the sofa or letting your dog out in the backyard to do her business doesn’t hit the mark. And if your fur baby isn’t getting enough exercise, you’ll notice it in weight gain. 73 Sore joints lead to decreased mobility so that it can be a vicious cycle. Also, a lack of exercise can cause a ho-hum attitude towards toys and training, and serious health conditions like and diabetes. Does your pooch need to lose a few pounds? Start with these proven weight loss tips for your chunky fur baby.But keep an eye on my states74 “You need to monitor and listen to your pet during walks and runs to make sure they’re not having trouble, ”says Jennifer Freeman, DVM, PetSmart resident veterinarian, and pet care expert. If you notice your furbaby seems totally exhausted, is panting heavily, has an altered gait, or his tongue is limp and dangling, it’s time to dial it back. And if he seems really out of it after a walk or playtime, pull back on the amount of exercise for next time. Find out the signs your “healthy” pup is sick.Could we stop and smell the roses today?No doubt, walking is a tried and true way to exercise your dog (and great for you too), but the same ole walk is nothing to howl over. Walking can serve a dual-purpose when mental stimulation is。

The winter of 1996 was especially brutal. It was a hard time in my own life too. A neck injury had kept me flat in bed for nearly a yea r. “Just in time for Easter,” my husband, Dick, said. But how could I feel the joy when the snow was four feet deep and I had months of painful physical treatment ahead?I was doing the dishes one day, feeling hopeless when there was a tap against the glass. It was a branch of the troublesome cottonwood (棉白杨).Back in the fall of 1979, it was a new subdivision (分支）then, an eight-foot stick. The people who'd briefly occupied the house before us had placed the pipe from the pump next to it. The earth was so wet that the poor thing had fallen down, most of its bare root system pointing skyward, and blowing hopelessly back and forth in the cold wind. Dick decided to pull it out one day, but I protested.“Look at how hard it's trying!” I said, pointing to the way it strongly kept hold of the earth. “It deserves a chance.”Dick borrowed some tools. We packed dry soil around the tree and put up some stakes (桩) into the ground, making it stand upright. That winter was still terrible. Surprisingly, in the spring my “rescue stick”put forth a few leaves, then with lots of branches. The year after that, we were able to remove the stakes. By the 1990s that little stick was a giant, towering over the house.Now the tapping at the window continued, louder as the wind picked up, almost as though to tell me to look up. At last, I did. I caught my breath. In the window against the icy blue sky, thousands and thousands of fresh red buds were waving in the wind.The tree was bursting with life and I had a wonderful Easter.32. What is the meaning of the underlined word "brutal" in Paragraph1 probably mean?A. busyB. hardC. longD. warm33. How did Dick rescue the new subdivision?A. By supporting the stick firmly.B. By watering the stick regularly.C. By distributing chemical fertilizer.D. By gathering sticks day and night.34. What is the author's purpose in writing the last paragraph?A. To inform us of the current condition of her cottonwood.B. To imply that sh e’d spent the hardest time and felt hopeful.C. To tell us that the tree had survived from the awful winter.D. To suggest what she was going to do for the coming festival.35. Which of the following can serve as the main idea of the passage?A. A friend in need is a friend indeed.B. There is no garden without its weeds.C. Success is the accumulation of sweat.D. Where there is life, there is hope.第二节(共5小题，每小题2分，满分10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。

Until then she had been a bright, cheerful woman deeply interested and involved in the world around her.I would go home to visit her in Virginia and she would look at me in a puzzled way and ask, “Who are you?” I would answer, “I'm your son.” “Where do you live?” She would ask. “In California”, I would tell her. “Isn't that interesting,” she would say, “I have a son in California.”She seemed simply forgetful and confused at the beginning of the disease, but later on she would go through periods of intense anxiety. She would pace through the house she had lived in most of her life crying uneasily that she wanted to go home. Or she would leave home and wander away if she were unattended for a short time. Hoping to please her and put her mind at ease I would take her for a drive, visiting sites where she had lived as a child. In the yard of the hillside house in Shipman I sat in the car and admired the view of the old oaks and long green lawn. I pictured my mother there was a little girl playing with the pet lamb she had been so fond of. I looked to her for some response. She shookher head and said “ I want to go home.Over the years I have decided that what my mother was calling home was not a place, but a time. I suspect it was a time when she was much younger, when her children were still underfoot, when her husband was still vigorous and attentive.Watching my mother's suffering set me wondering where I would have gone in mind if someday I couldn’t find home and wanted to go there. In this family we tend to be long-lived and we grow fuzzy (糊涂的) minded as the years go by. At eighty I have already noticed some alarmingsymptoms. My doctor says the forgetfulness is only natural and that it comes with age. Still the fear of Alzheimer's is haunting there. Someday if and when I become even more cloudy minded than I am now, unable to drive and unable to tell you where "home" is, my dear son, I expect I will ask you to take me home, I know you will do your best to find the place I need to be. I leave these notes for your guidance. 41. What's the main idea of the first two paragraphs?A. The author’s mother suffered with serious Alzheimer's disease.B.

Where are you most likely to find this text?A. In a newspaper.B. In a handbook.C. In a textbook.D. In a medical magazine.CIn the fall of 1985, I was a bright-eyed girl heading off to Howard University, aiming at a legal career and dreaming of sitting on a Supreme Court bench somewhere. Twenty-one years later I am still a bright-eyed dreamer and one with quite a different tale to tell.My grandma, an amazing woman, graduated from college at the age of65.She was the first in our family to reach that goal. But one year afterI started college, she developed cancer. I made the choice to withdraw from college to care for her. It meant that school and my personal dream would have to wait.Then I got married with another dream: building my family with a combination of adopted and biological children. In 1999, we adopted our first son.To lay eyes on him was fantastic—and very emotional.A year later came our second adopted boy.Then followed son No.3.In 2003, I gave birth to another boy.You can imagine how fully occupied I became, raising four boys under the age of 8！Our home was a complete zoo—a joyous zoo.Not surprising, I never did make it back to college full­time.But I never gave up on the dream either.I had only one choice: to find a way.That meant taking as few as one class each semester.The hardest part was feeling guilty about the time I spent away from the boys.They often wanted me to stay home with them.There certainly were times I wanted to quit, but I knew I should set an example for them to follow through the rest of their lives.In 2007, I graduated from the University of North Carolina.It took me over 21 years to get my college degree!I am not special, just single-minded.It always struck me that when you're looking at a big challenge from the outside it looks huge, but when you're in the midst of it, it just seems normal.Everything you want won't arrive in your life on one day.It's a process.Remember: little steps add up to big dreams.51．When the author went to Howard University, her dream was to be ________.A．a writer B．a teacherC．a judge D．a doctor 52．Why did the author quit school in her second year of college?A．She wanted to study by herself.B．She fell in love and got married.C．She suffered from a serious illness.D．She decided to look after her grandma.53．What can we learn about the author from Paragraphs 4 and 5?A．She was busy yet happy with her family life.B．She ignored her guilty feeling for her sons.C．She wanted to remain a full­time housewife.D．She was too confused to make a correct choice.54．What does the author mostly want to tell us in the last paragraph?A．Failure is the mother of success.B．Little by little, one goes far.C．Every coin has two sides.D．Well begun, half done.55．Which of the following can best describe the author?A．Caring and determined.B．Honest and responsible.C．Ambitious and sensitive.D．Innocent and single-minded.DDeath Valley is one of the most famous deserts in the United States, covering a wide area with its alkali sand. Almost 20 percent of this area is well below sea level, and Badwater, a salt water pool, is about 280 feet below sea level and the lowest point in the United States.Long ago the Panamint Indians called this place “Tomesha”—the land of fire. Death Valley’s present name dates back to 1849, when a group of miners coming across from Nevada became lost in its unpleasantness and hugeness and their adventure turned out to be a sad story. Today Death Valley has been declared a National Monument(纪念碑) and is crossed by several well-marked roads where good services can be found easily. Luckily the change created by human settlement has hardly ruined the special beauty of this place.Here nature created a lot of surprising, almost like the sights on the moon, ever-changing as the frequent wind moves the sand about, showing the most unusual colors. One of the most astonishing and variable parts of Death Valley is the Devil’ s Golf Course, where it seems hard for one to tell reality from terrible dreams. Sand sculptures(沙雕) stand on a frightening ground, as evening shadows move and lengthen.56. _______ is the lowest place in the desert.A. TomeshaB. Death ValleyC. NevadaD. Bad water57. The name of the valley comes from _______.A. an Indian nameB. the death of the minersC. the local peopleD. a National Movement58.

First of all,mistakes are a clear sign that you are trying new things. It’s always good to try new things because when you are trying new things you are growing. If you never try anything new, how can you improve? How can you expand? The simp le answer is “You can’t”. Look around you. Almost everything valuable you see in your world is the result of _____________.[2] Another good thing about mistakes is this: when you are making mistakes, you are learning. Consider this: Edison failed 10000 times before he perfected the light bulb. When asked how it felt to fail that many times, he remarked that he hadn’t failed 10000 times, but ratherhad learned 10000 things that didn’t work. [3] Finally, when you make a mistake you are much closer to success. Why? Because when all is said and done, you will have tried only a few things before you succeed. Every time you made a mistake, you got ridof one bad thing and stepped closer to success.[4] But this all doesn’t mean that you should go ahead without considering the consequences of a mistake. Instead, when you try something new, you have to be willing to set some reasonable limits so that you will have opportunities to try again in case t hat it doesn’t work out as you expected. We all have limited resources so don’t blow them all at one time. Realize that it probably won’t be perfect the first time and use these resources appropriately so you can learn, improve, and try it again. Only by using your mistakes in this way can you make significant advances in your career.[5] There is an old saying that goes, “If you’re not making mistake, you’re not trying hard enough.” So go forth and make mistakes.1. List three reasons why making a mistake is good for you.

2023-2024学年广东省松湖莞中、深大附中两校联考高二上学期10月月考英语试题Fall is one of the absolute best times to go camping. Not only is the summer heat quickly fading from memory, but the landscapes are painted with vibrant colors as the leaves make their annual change from green to gold, crimson, and orange. If you’re planning a camping trip this autumn, we have some suggestions on where you should go, no matter which part of the country you live in.Acadia National Park, MaineFall comes early to Acadia National Park, with the leaves beginning to change color in early September. Still, the park is one of the absolute best places to set up camp in the autumn, offering stunning views of the wonderful shades of nature that highlight the trees at that time of year. But, if you want to experience autumn in Maine at its finest, book a spot in the Blackwoods Campground. Fall Creek Falls State Park, TennesseeThe centerpiece attraction at Tennessee’s Fall Creek Falls Sta te Park is its massive namesake waterfall, which plummets off a rock face 256 feet in the air. But, the park has amazing options for campers too, including more than 220 campsites spread out across five different areas in various parts of the 26,000 acre landscape. Summer lingers later in the Volunteer State, but autumn is no less spectacular once it arrives.Carson National Forest, New MexicoHome to New Mexico’s highest point—the 13,161-foot Mt. Wheeler—Carson National Forest offers visitors plenty of sur prises. For example, in contrast to most of the rest of the state, the region isn’t a desert, which often catches first-time visitors off guard. The forest features a 16-mile long hiking trail and is home to elk, bear, cougar, big horn sheep, and other large creatures.Gunnison National Forest, ColoradoWith plenty of wild backcountry to explore, thousands of trails to wander, and some of the best fall colors found anywhere on the planet, Gunnison National Forest is a paradise for campers. The region has 56 designated campsite, allowing visitors to choose where to set up camp based on their favorite outdoor settings.1. How long is the waterfall in the suggestions?A．220 feet. B．256 feet. C．13161 feet. D．26000 feet.2. Which is the main reason why fall is a good camping time?A．The scenery is colorful.B．The summer is very hot.C．The leaves are painted.D．The landscapes are vertical.3. Where should visitors go if they are interested in wildlife?A．Acadia National Park, Maine.B．Gunnison National Forest, Colorado.C．Carson National Forest, New Mexico.D．Fall Creek Falls State Park, Tennessee.Kurth Reis of San Francisco, California, has been through many hard times in his life. In 2018, Reis had a serious motorcycle accident and spent time in a hospital. The accident affected him deeply, body and spirit. He had several medical operations. Reis said he felt like he was “reborn” each time he woke after an operation. Following 88 days in the hospital, Reis was released and felt ready to change his ways.Lately, he says he just wants to cheer people up by making bubbles. You can watch him perform his bubble art for hours at a time around the city’s streets and in its parks. Sometimes he puts out a glass container called a tip jar. People who watch his show can drop money into it if they want to.If the weather is good for bubbles, Reis makes a special mixture that can make bubbles the size of a small car. Humidity, or the amount of water in the air, is good for bubbles. So, he does not perform on very dry days. To make his large bubble, he puts a small rope hanging from two long sticks into the bubble mixture. As he removes it, he opens his arms wide and the bubbles begin to form. Once enough air is inside the bubble, he moves his arms back together to set the bubble free. Some people feel it looks like a bubble “ballet”.While Reis may seem like a bubble-making expert, he only got started in April 2020. Reis can support himself with donations from the audiences. But money is not what stirs him to make bubbles. He feels his art is useful in more important ways. Not long ago, a woman told Reis after a performance that his bubbles had lifted her spirit when her dad died.Reis can see smiles rise from under the face covers worn by those watching him perform. Children cheer and clap their hands. Reis said such reactions make him feel like an essential worker whose job is to spread joy.“I’m just trying to put a smile on somebody’s face by doing some bubbles,” said Reis. Such a small act will be remembered by others and warm others.4. What can we know about Kurth Reis from Paragraph 1?A．He had to repay his operation fees.B．He intended to do something different.C．He suffered a minor motorcycle accident.D．He gave up his career as a motorcyclist.5. What m ay people do when they watch Reis’ performances?A．Put some money into a tip jar near him.B．Give him applause when he sets a bubble free.C．Grasp a small rope hanging from two long sticks.D．Add a special mixture to help him make large bubbles.6. What does the underlined word “stirs” mean in Paragraph 4?A．Enables. B．Determines. C．Requires. D．Encourages.7. What can you learn from the passage?A．Believe you can and you are halfway there.B．Every dog has its day.C．Everything comes to him who waits.D．Small actions can have a big impact.Lin Wanqi, a 26-year-old resident of Shanghai, was among the earliest to try Luckin Coffee’s new Moutai-flavored latte. Eager to sample this “young people’s first sip of Moutai”, she was curious about how he r beloved coffee tastes with Chinese liquor in it. “The aroma of the alcohol is very strong and is well blended with the milk,” Lin shared.The coffee drink, packaged with an iconic Moutai-themed label and containing less than 0.5 percent (alcohol by volume) of 53 degrees Moutai, is priced at 38 yuan, although consumers can get it for 19 yuan using coupons. In recent years, Moutai has embarked on various creative campaigns to appeal to younger customers, introducing products like Moutai ice cream, scented sachets, and canvas bags. “This creative partnership lets Moutai make its brand younger,” Li Honghui, a marketing director for drinks. Li also pointed out that such creative collaborations (合作) can bring benefits to both brands. “Through partnerships, bran ds can share resources, expand the market, and bring more diversified and innovative products to consumers,” Li said.However, flawed partnerships may lead to negative consequences. Take the collaboration between Chinese coffee chain Manner and French luxury brand Louis Vuitton(LV), for example. Consumers could get a free LV canvas bag by buying at least two books in the coffee shop. The two books would cost at least 580 yuan. The campaign was sharply criticized for the high barrier of entry to receive th e gift and many people doubted whether it was worth the price. “It’s important to maintain the high quality of the products in these partnerships rather than merely generate hype(炒作),” Li said.8.

The government says nothing has been decided in reply to this strike. But some officials advise to save money in this way.Regardless of the outcome of the strike, the direction of digital change is clear. With time going by, station ticket offices are likely to become a sepia-tinted memory. For us, we who have been used to organising travel via a smartphone feel little sadness. But for people without online skills – who may be older, poorer and weaker – another small social barrier will be built.From doctor appointments to payment apps, more and more key services are now provided online. Local government, lack of money, has to do business in this way. As this change takes place, some people hold that it can be unfair to some users. In the case of health and social care, those who need help most are unable to navigate( 导航 ) a digital route to the place. A recent report estimated that around 6% of households have no internet access. As digital technology becomes the gatekeeper to everyday life, some groups may face the problem of exclusion and isolation.The debate over ticket offices offers an opportunity to reflect on the increasing role of technology in our society. Clearly, it is important to help marginalised groups gain easy online access. Some people will never become comfortable using smartphones or tablets. Some offline options must be maintained for important services. This will cost more. But that is the price of being fair to those who find themselves on the wrong side of the digital divide.12.

Focus, or concentration, is a skill that can be taught. 16 Start with easy exercises like staring at a picture on the wall for a few minutes without moving or talking to anyone. Once you learn how to block out your surroundings, your focus will improve.17 This is when you picture yourself in a desired situation, and then you work around your picture. Actors do this a lot to block out laughter, noise, or other distractions. An example of this would be to imagine yourself in a potentially stressful situation, like a singer in a concert. Try to play out the scene in your mind what you would do if different scenarios were to happen.If this sounds a little strange to you, you could try another strategy. Why not make lists. Make a list for the things you need to accomplish for the morning, another for the afternoon, and finally, another list for the evening. 18Another way to improve your focus is to take breaks. If you are working in an office, you are allowed coffee breaks. Use this time wisely. Don’t spend it with your co-workers beside the coffee machine talking about problems in the office. Your breaks should be as quiet as possible. 19 Go and do anything that will give your brain a rest.The reason why we lose focus so easily is because we have too much on our minds. 20 A good balance between a too relaxed brain and an overly active brain are both undesirable situations to be in.I have loved and cared for all kinds of creatures for as long as I can remember.
