While fighting world hunger continues to be the matter of vital importance according to a recent report from the World Health Organization (WHO), more people now die from being overweight, or say, from being extremely fat, than from being underweight. It’s the good life that’s more likely to kill us these days.Worse, nearly 18 million children under the age of five around the world are estimated to be overweight. What’s going on?We really don’t have many excuses for our weight problems. The dangers of the problem have been drilled into us by public ­health campaigns since 2001 and the message is getting through—up to a point.In the 1970s, Finland, for example, had the highest rate of heart disease in the world and being overweight was its main cause. Not any more. A public ­health campaign has greatly reduced the number of heart disease deaths by 80 per cent over the past three decades. Maybe that explains why the percentage of people in Finland taking diet pills doubled between 2001 and 2005, and doctors even offer surgery of removing fat inside and change the shape of the body. That has become a sort of fashion. No wonder it ranks as the world’s most body ­conscious country.We know what we should be doing to lose weight—but actually doing it is another matter. By far the most popular excuse is not taking enough exercise. More than half of us admit we lack willpower.Others blame good food. They say: it’s just too inviting and it makes them overeat. Still others lay the blame on the Americans, complaining that pounds have piled on thanks to eating too much American­ style fast food.Some also blame their parents—their genes. But unfortunately, the parents are wronged because they’re normal in shape, or rather slim.It’s a similar story around the world, although people are relatively unlikely to have tried tolose weight. Parents are eager to see their kids shape up. Do as I say—not as I do.4．What is the “strange” point mentioned in the first sentence?A．The good life is a greater risk than the bad life.B．Starvation is taking more people’s lives in the world.C．WHO report shows people’s unawareness of food safety.D．Overweight issue remains unresolved despite WHO’s efforts.5．Why does the author think that people have no excuse for being overweight?A．A lot of effective diet pills are available.B．Body image has nothing to do with good food.C．They have been made fully aware of its dangers.D．There are too many overweight people in the world.6．The example of Finland is used to illustrate ________.A．the cause of heart diseaseB．the fashion of body shapingC．the effectiveness of a campaignD．the history of a body ­conscious country7．Which would be the best title for the passage?A．Actions or Excuses?B．Overweight or Underweight?C．WHO in a DilemmaD．No Longer Dying of HungerFor most city people, the elevator is an unremarkable machine that inspires none of the enthusiasm or interest that Americans afford trains, jets，and even bicycles. Dr. Christopher Wilk is a member of a small group of elevator experts who consider this a misunderstanding. Without the elevator, they point out, there could be no downtown skyscrapers or tall buildings, and city life as we know it would be impossible. In that sense, they argue，the elevator’s role in American history has been no less significant than that of cars. In fact, according to Wilk the car and the elevator have been locked in a “secret war” for over a century, with cars making it possible for people to spread horizontally (水平地)，and elevators pushing them toward life in close groups of towering vertical (垂直的)columns.If we tend to ignore the significance of elevators, it might be because riding in them tends tobe such a brief, boring, and even awkward experience^one that can involve unexpectedly meeting people with whom we have nothing in common, and an unpleasant awarenessof the fact that we’re hanging from a cable in a long passage.In a new book, Lifted, German journalist and cultural studies professor Andreas Bernard directed all his attention to this experience, studying the origins of elevator and its relationship to humankind and finding that riding in an elevator has never been a totally comfortable experience. “After 150 years, we are still not used to it”，Bernard said. “We still have not exactly learned to cope with the mixture of closeness and displeasure.” That mixture, according to Bernard, sets the elevator ride apart from just about every other situation we find ourselves in as we go about our lives.Today，as the world’s urban population explodes，and cities become more crowded, taller, and more crowded, America’s total number of elevators—900,000 at last count, according to Elevator World magazine’s “2012 Vertical Transportation Industry”一are a force that’s becoming more important than ever. And for the people who really, really love them, it seems like high time that we looked seriously at just what kind of force they are.8．What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 1 refer to?A．The general view of elevators.B．The particular interests of experts.C．The desire for a remarkable machine.D．The enthusiasm for transport vehicles.9．The author’s purpose in mentioning cars is .A．to contrast their functions with elevators,B．to emphasize the importance of elevatorsC．to reveal their secret war against elevatorsD．to explain people’s preference for elevators10．According to Prof. Bernard, what has made the elevator ride different from other life experiences?A．Vertical direction.B．Lack of excitement.C．Little physical space.D．Uncomfortable conditions.11．The author urges readers to consider .A．the exact number of elevator loversB．the serious future situation of elevatorsC．the role of elevators in city developmentD．the relationship between cars and elevatorsAcademic dishonesty is nothing new. As long as there have been homework assignments and tests, there have been cheaters. The way that cheating looks has changed over time, though, particularly now that technology has made it easier than ever. A study by the Josephson Institute of Ethics interviewed 23,000 high school students and asked them a variety of questions about academic ethics. Of the teens surveyed, 51 percent said that they had knowingly cheated at some point on an exam but that they did not feel uneasy about the behaviour. A Common Sense Media survey found that 35 percent of students had cheated via smartphone, though the parents surveyed in that particular study did not believe their kids had ever cheated. In many cases, students did not realize that strategies like looking up answers on a smartphone were actually cheating at all.In today’s classrooms, students who cheat are rarely caught. There are no formulas written on the insides of hands or students looking across the aisle, or whispering answers to their classmates. Today’s students use smartphones, tablets or even in-class computers to aid their cheating attempts and leave no trace of their crimes. Since cheating through technology is not listed specifically as being against the rules in many school policies, students do not view the actions unethical (不合道德的).The technology is being adopted so quickly that school districts cannot adequately keep up with cheating policies, or even awareness campaigns that alert students to the problem with using technology to find answers in a certain way. From a young age, students learn that answers exist conveniently at their fingertips through search engines and expert websites.Schools must develop anti-cheating policies that include technology and these policies must be updated consistently. Teachers must stay on guard when it comes to what their students are doing in classrooms and how technology could be playing a negative role in the learning process. Parents must also talk to their kids about the appropriate ways to find academic answers and alert them to unethical behaviours that may seem innocent in their own eyes.12．What do we learn from the study by the Josephson Institute of Ethics?A．Over half of the students interviewed were unaware they were cheating.B．Cheating was becoming a way of life for a majority of high school teens. C．Cheating was getting more and more difficult for high school students.D．More than half of the interviewees felt no sense of guilt over cheating.13．What did the Common Sense Media survey reveal?A．Most parents tended to overprotect their children.B．Parents and kids had conflicting ideas over cheating.C．Students were in urgent need of ethical education.D．Many students committed cheating without parents’ awareness.14．What does the author think schools should do to tackle cheating?A．Alert parents to their children’s behaviour.B．Reform their exam methods constantly. C．Take advantage of the latest technologies.D．Bring policies against cheating up to date.15．What does the author suggest teachers do in the classroom?A．Prevent students from using electronic devices.B．Develop more effectiveanti-cheating strategies.C．Guard against students’ misuse of technology D．Find more ways to stop students’ unethical acts.二、七选五Is Fresh Air Really Good for You?We all grew up hearing people tell us to “go out and get some fresh air.” ___16___ According to recent studies, the answer is a big YES, if the air quality in your camping area is good.___17___ If the air you’re breathing is clean—which it would be if you’re away from the smog of cities—then the air is filled with life-giving, energizing oxygen. If you exercise out of doors, your body will learn to breathe more deeply, allowing even more oxygen to get to your muscles(肌肉) and your brain.Recently, people have begun studying the connection between the natural world and healing(治愈). ___18___ In these places patients can go to be near nature during their recovery. It turns out that just looking at green, growing things can reduce stress, lower bloodpressure, and put people into a better mood(情绪).Greenery is good for us. Hospital patients who see tree branches out their window are likely to recover at a faster rate than patients who see buildings or sky instead. ___19___ It gives us a great feeling of peace.___20___While the sun’s rays can age and harm our skin, they also give us beneficial Vitamin D. To make sure you get enough Vitamin D—but still protect your skin—put on sunscreen right as you head outside. It takes sunscreen about fifteen minutes to start working, and that’s plenty of time for your skin to absorb a day’s worth of Vitamin D.A．Fresh air cleans our lungs.B．So what are you waiting for?C．Being in nature refreshes us.D．Another side benefit of getting fresh air is sunlight.E．But is fresh air really as good for you as your mother always said?F．Just as importantly, we tend to associate air with health care.G．All across the country, recovery centers have begun building Healing Gardens.三、完形填空I tend to accept any idea put forward by experts on TV.

ADo you know of anyone who uses the truth to deceive （欺骗） ? When someone tells you something that is true， but leaves out important information that should be included， he can give you a false picture。

For example , some might say, "I just won a hundred dollars on the lottery (彩票）。

It was great. I took that dollar ticket back to the store and turned it in for one hundred dollars！ "This guy's a winner, right？Maybe, maybe not. We then discover that he bought $200 worth of tickets, and only one was a winner. He's really a big loser!He didn’t say anything that was false, b ut he left out important information on purpose. That's called a half-truth。

2022-2023学年江苏省扬州中学高二下学期5月月考英语试题1. Amazing China in 60 Seconds is a short video series covering cultural and scenic hotspots across the country.TibetTibet autonomous region in Southwest China, home to the highest plateau(高原) on Earth, is known as the “roof of the world”. It’s a paradise for tourists with its towering snow mountains, vast grasslands, peaceful lakes and breathtaking views. Must-visit places include the Potala Palace - a UNESCO world heritage site, Mount Qomolangma, Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon and more.Tibet is also famed for its rich ethnic culture, including the Tibetan dance, age-old thangka painting and Lum medicinal bathing of Sowa Rigpa - traditional Tibetan bathing for a medical purpose which was included in the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO in 2018.TianjinNeighboring the Chinese capital city of Beijing, Tianjin rests between the northern Yanshan Mountains and the coastal plain. Adjacent to the sea and rivers, it carries distinct ecological beauty. Tianjin is where Eastern and Western cultures meet. It has many precious historical sites, former residences of celebrities and foreign-style architecture. Famous tourist destinations include the Tianjin Eye, the Huangyaguan Great Wall, and the Five Big Avenues area, which hosts about 2,000 villas in various Western styles built in the 1920s and 1930s.ChongqingSouthwest China’s Chongqing is largely built on mountain s and surrounded by rivers; thus it is known as the “mountain city”. Many people are drawn to Chongqing by its delicious food - especially its signature spicy hotpot - and natural scenery.Boasting the largest number of hotpot restaurants in China, Chongqi ng was named “China’s Hotpot City” by the China Cuisine Association in 2007. Statistics show there are more than 50,000 hotpot eateries across the city. With more than 3,000 year of history, Chongqing still preserves traditional culture and lifestyles.1.

Despite Kyle Tianshi being only a 15-year-old US high schooler, he has published five sci-fi novels. His fifth book Eventide was released in July. However, this may not be his most impressive achievement as Kyle just received the “Hero Award”, a $20, 000 grand prize. It is the top honor in the California Youth Sustainability Awards. The competition aims to encourage and support young community leaders who are making a difference for sustainability in their communities by taking action for the planet.Kyle, a sophomore from the Cambridge School in the US, received the honor for his portable invention called NEREID. The device can detect microscopic particles (粒子) in water by using a laser and microscope. These particles can be harmful to people and the environment.Kyle came up with the idea for the invention based on his experience growing up in San Diego, California, US. People had no access to unpolluted drinking water and his parents asked him not to drink tap water. Kyle spent about $60 buying the tools needed to analyze the tap water: a laser, a microscope and a micro-computer. “It’s incredibly powerful for the price,” Kyle said. Then he used their family’s garage as his laboratory, doing r esearch on the pollution of drinking water caused by micro-plastics.Kyle hopes to bring to market a low-cost alternative tool for detecting micro-plastic pollution levels in drinking water. In this way, he can offer help to people who don’t have access t o water filtration (过滤) systems. He has applied for a patent.Kyle said his sister Emily, a freshman at Stanford University, inspired his interest in environmental research. She was recognized nationally for developing a water collection device. They have founded the Clearwater Innovation program to advocate for clean water through social media platforms and organize community cleanup events.1. What do we know about Kyle?A．He is good at adapting sci-fi works.B．He entered many novel contests.C．He received an award for his invention.D．He’s found microscopic particles in water.2. What led to Kyle’s creation of NEREID?A．People’s lack of clean drinking water.B．People’s poor living conditions.C．His desire to be a community leader. D．His family’s encouragement.3. Which of the following best describes Kyle?A．Considerate and brave. B．Optimistic and honest.C．Determined and humorous. D．Responsible and creative.4. What’s the text mainly about?A．The introduction of NEREID. B．A boy’s contribution to literature.C．The harm of polluted water. D．A US schooler’s water solution.3. Zebrafish, named for their characteristic stripes (条纹), have been a popular test subject for researchers. Only a few centimeters in length, the fish reproduce easily in captivity (圈养), grow quickly, and their transparent body makes it easy to study their organs. Above all, they possess some surprising “self-healing” power. When part of their heart is removed, they can grow it back in a matter of weeks. When blinded, they can quickly regain the ability to see.Recent studies show that humans and zebrafish have the same major organs and share 70 percent of the genes. Moreover, 84 percent of human genes associated with disease find a counterpart in zebrafish. Scientists thus hope that understanding the self-healing mystery of the fish may one day allow humans to regenerate (使……再生) such organs as eyes, hearts, and spines.Researchers at Vanderbilt University are particularly interested in zebrafish retina (视网膜) regeneration. They have learned that damage of retina can cause blindness in zebrafish, yet it only takes about three to four weeks before vision is regained. The structure and cell types of zebrafish reins are almost the same to those of humans. If the process can be copied in humans, it may give rise to new treatments for blindness caused by retinal damage.In order to know exactly how zebrafsh retina is regenerated, the team looked at the neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), a chemical messenger in the brain that reduces the activity of neurons. They found that lowering GABA levels in zebrafish can activate retina regeneration, while a high level of GABA concentration will suppress the regeneration process. This suggested that GABA plays an important role in t he fish’s ability to regain their sight. The result served as a further proof to scientists previous work.The team is beginning to test the GABA theory on mice. If that works, human trials will be next on the agenda. If the research proves successful in humans, some of the nearly 40 million blind people worldwide may one day have a tiny, striped fish to thank.1. What’s the most amazing for zebrafish?A．Its beautiful stripes. B．Its regenerationability.C．Its transparentbody.D．Its excellenteyesight.2. What does the underlined word “suppress” mean in paragraph 4?A．Hold back. B．Add up. C．Draw up. D．Get over. 3. What do we know about the study in Vanderbilt University?A．Humans are currently under trial. B．The first experimental subject is mice.C．The researchers had unexpected discoveries. D．The results are in line with previous study findings.4. Which of the following is the best title of the text?A．How Do Zebrafish Heal Themselves? B．What Is the Mystery of Zebrafish Retina?C．Will Self-healing Power of Zebrafish Be D．Could the Tiny Zebrafish Teach Us toRegained? Cure Blindness?4.China’s telescope, planned to be launched at the end of 2023, is expected to provide humankind with fresh knowledge about distant galaxies, mysterious dark matter, and the past and future evolutions of the universe.Chinese Survey Space Telescope (CSST), also known as Xuntian Space Telescope, is a space-based optical (光学的) observatory for astronomers to carry out sky surveys, capturing a general map or images of the sky.The CSST is a bus-sized facility with a length equal to that of a three-storied building. It has an aperture (孔径) of two meters, a bit smaller than the Hubble Space Telescope, but its field of view is 350 times larger than Hubble in area. “The field o f view is the area of the sky a telescope can see at one time,” said Li Ran, project scientist of the CSST Scientific Data Reduction System. “Hubble’s field of view is approximately one percent of the size of a fingernail at an arm’s length, thereby the te lescope, in its thirties, observed only a tiny part of the sky.” Li added.The telescope, during its normal observations, will fly independently in the same orbit as China’s space station but will maintain a large distance apart. Li said the telescope was designed, in its initial plan, to be placed on the space station, but there would be disadvantages such as vibration, potential pollution and line-of-sight block from the space station. The CSST can land on the space station for refueling and servicing as needed.“The telescope can bring China’s research in optical astronomy to the forefront of the world and help cultivate (培养) world-class Chinese scientists,” Li noted. “It can also take breathtaking visible pictures, allowing the public to directly feel an d understand the universe.”1. What can the CSST be used for?A．Getting general map of the Earth. B．Aiding sky investigation.C．Refueling the Chinese space station. D．Providing support for the universeevolution.2. What is paragraph 3 mainly about?A．The visual field of Hubble. B．The usable life span of a telescope.C．The advantages of the CSST. D．The size of the aperture of Xuntian.3. Why does the CSST fly independently in space?A．To learn how to fly safely. B．To land accurately.C．To get higher quality pictures. D．To avoid potential negative influence.4. What is the significance of the CSST?A．It can help to train the world’s astronomy scientists.B．It will promote China’s ability in optical device making.C．It will give the public chances to observe the universe directly.D．It will help China hold a leading position in optical astronomy.5. Harvesting fruits is a very demanding job. If pickers are not available, fruits will rot on the trees. But with pickers in short supply in recent years, growers needed to quickly find another way to harvest their fruits. 1An Israeli company Tevel has developed these flying autonomous robots. The robots fly over a tree and pick fruits with its arms. They are fitted with cameras that use AI to assess the size and color of the fruit. 2 In addition, they can collect more fruits than a picker during a given time.3 The flying robots are connected to a platform that acts as the power source so that they never run out of power. They will work all day and night in any weather without taking a break.Dozens of these smart robots can be used across an orchard (果园) during the time when the fruit is ready to be harvested. The farmers just need to tell the company how many flying robots they need and how long they will use. 4The robots arc now picking pears in Israel. The company also plans to add more tasks to the robot’s function. 5 In the future, fewer people will work in picking and more people will work in managing the robots, analyzing the data and making decisions.6.

江苏省盐城中学2023-2024学年高二下学期5月月考英语试题一、阅读理解Magic Milk ExperimentThis fun experiment is a classic for a reason! In the magic milk experiment, kids learn about simple chemical reactions and physical features using only a few materials. Read on to see how to do the experiment.How does the magic milk experiment work?In this experiment, you pour some milk in a shallow dish. You then add drops of food coloring to the surface of the milk. Using a cotton swab (棉签) dipped into dish soap, you lightly brush the surface of the milk. The dish soap breaks the surface tension of the milk, and the soap molecules try to attach to the fat molecules in the milk. This leads to swirls (漩涡) and bursts of fun rainbow colors.What does the magic milk experiment teach?This experiment teaches us about the science of molecules and how matter interacts. The soap breaks down the fat molecules and makes them move apart, showing us a simple but interesting example of chemistry in action.Materials needed:To do the magic milk experiment, you will need a shallow bowl or plate, milk, blue dish soap, cotton swabs, and food coloring. Be sure to use the more inexpensive food coloring as opposed to gel (凝胶) coloring, which does not work as well.Magic milk experiment steps:·Pour milk into a shallow dish or bowl, just enough to cover the bottom.·Add drops of food coloring all over the surface of the milk.·Dip the end of a cotton swab into a separate dish of blue soap.·Lightly brush the top of the milk with the cotton swab, and watch what happens. 1．What causes swirls and bursts of fun rainbow colors in the experiment?A．The overuse of dish soap.B．The temperature of the milk.C．The food coloring left in the shallow dish.D．The interaction between dish soap and milk.2．Which material has special requirements in the experiment?A．Milk.B．Coloring.C．Dish soap.D．The cotton swab. 3．What can kids learn from the experiment?A．Good eating habits.B．Useful painting skills.C．Basic scientific concepts.D．Important statistical methods.I’ve received dozens of these emails throughout my experience as a writer: “Thank you so much for taking the time to submit your work to us. However, this piece is not right for our magazine”; “Thank you for submitting your story to our magazine. Unfortunately, we are unable to publish it”; “We appreciate the chance to read your story. Unfortunately, the piece is not for us”; etc.Nobody likes getting such emails. They are painful and can often be demotivating. However, one day I received a beautiful rejection letter. The editor wrote that he enjoyed my non-fiction article. He also wrote, “I like your writing style. It is very engaging. Nevertheless, I did find a few spots in your story where the wording seemed a little foreign or unusual to me. Not that it was wrong but that it tended to draw my attention away from the story. You should read as much English (British and/or American English) as you can to build a vocabulary and usage that draws our attention to feelings, not words.”As a non-native English speaker, I often found it challenging to write in English. But the editor’s letter is of great help to me as it elucidated where and how I should improve my writing. I read Ernest Hemingway’s books and Jane Austen’s classic novels in order to improve my language skills. I read English newspapers and magazines and learned at least three new words every day. I listened to talk shows on the radio.After eight months of this process, I went back and read the essay I had originally sent to the editor. I rewrote the story and sent it to the same editor who congratulated me and accepted it for publication. What I took away from this experience was that I should never be satisfied with just okay results. I need to keep working on myself and to try to constantly expand my knowledge by taking advantage of every single moment, advice, comment, and review. I do feel uncomfortable sometimes, but I am not scared. The bigger the challenge, the bigger the opportunity to learn and grow.4．What did the editor find unsatisfying about the author’s essay?A．The story was too complicated.B．Some unusual feelings were expressed.C．Some language was not natural enough.D．The writing style was far from engaging. 5．What does the underlined word “elucidated” in paragraph 3 probably mean?A．Clarified.B．Proved.C．Supported.D．Confirmed. 6．What did the author learn from her experience?A．Great minds usually think alike.B．Someone always sees the good in you.C．One should always work towards improvement.D．We shouldn’t be ashamed to seek advice from others.7．What would be the best title of the text?A．How I dealt with a rejection letter.B．How a rejection letter made me a better writer.C．How an honest editor stimulated my interest in writing.D．How I benefited from constant communication with my editor.The ocean, with its vast mysteries hidden in its depths, has long excited human curiosity. From ancient maps decorated with dragons and sea monsters to modern-day technology, we’ve made limited progress in uncovering the secrets of the deep blue. Despite the technological advancements to date, only around five percent of the world’s oceans have been mapped.The power of underwater exploration is currently the biggest obstacle we face. While technologies like wave and tidal power show promise, they are often location-dependent. Solar power, on the other hand, offers an ever-present and powerful energy source, even beneath the ocean’s surface. Sunlight can penetrate (穿透) waters up to 50 meters deep, providing sufficient energy to operate basic appliances. And in recent research conducted by a team from NYU Tandon School of Engineering, solar cells successfully powered AUVs (autonomous underwater vehicles) and communications equipment, demonstrating its enormous potential for undersea exploration.However, some challenges remain. One lies in the design of existing silicon (硅) solar technology, which is ill-suited for underwater environments. Beyond moisture and salt content harmful to electronics in general, silicon solar cells are optimized (使优化) to absorb red andinfrared light, which do not penetrate water effectively.Another critical issue underwater solar cells face is biofouling—the gradual gathering of organic substances on the cells. This buildup blocks light. Furthermore, it affects the underwater vehicles themselves, increasing their weight. Previous experiments revealed that biofouling covered over 50 percent of the surface after just 30 days underwater, significantly hampering solar cell operation.In the research, the team also tackled practical challenges in designing and testing underwater solar cells. They created innovative solutions, such as using LED lights to copy the light spectrum (光谱) at various depths, removing the need for water during testing.These experiments demonstrated that silicon-based solar cells performed better in shallow depths, while other cell types proved more efficient below two meters. Although these specially designed underwater solar cells are still in their early stages of development, these contributions could lay the foundations for groundbreaking technologies that reveal both the potential of solar energy and the mysterious depths of our unexplored oceans.8．What does the author intend to tell us in paragraph 1?A．The ocean is mostly unexplored.B．The sea has shaped human civilization.C．Marine exploration technology is urgently needed.D．Technology promotes humans’ underwater exploration.9．What is the advantage of solar power according to paragraph 2?A．It is affordable.B．It is eco-friendly.C．It is location-independent.D．It is efficient in generating electricity. 10．What is the author’s attitude towards the underwater solar cells designed by the researchers?A．Unconcerned.B．Favorable.C．Doubtful.D．Disapproving. 11．In which section of a magazine may this text appear?A．Health.B．Education.C．Society.D．Nature.Zero-emission cars are soaring in popularity, but running an electric vehicle is next to impossible in places with limited charging infrastructure. Stella Terra could change that. The khaki-green SUV uses solar panels on its sloping roof to charge its electric battery, meaning it candrive long distances powered entirely by the sun.Built by a team of students at Eindhoven University of Technology in the Netherlands, “the world’s first off-road (越野的) solar-powered vehicle” could help connect remote areas “where roads are less developed and energy grids are not as reliable,” and assist with emergency aid and deliveries, says Thieme Bosman, events manager for the team.The road-legal car has a top speed of 145 kilometers per hour. On a sunny day, its battery range is around 710 kilometers on roads, and around 550 kilometers off-road, depending on the surface. In cloudy conditions, the team estimates the range could be 50 kilometers less.Electric SUVs are heavier than standard electric vehicles, and require bigger, heavier batteries to power them. Minimizing the vehicle’s weight is essential, and the team of 22 students focused on making every element ultra-efficient. At just 1,200 kilograms, Stella Terra weighs around 25% less than the average mid-sized SUV.Able to travel off-road, and with no need for charging points, drivers of a solar-powered SUV are liberated to go wherever they please, says Bob van Ginkel, technical manager for Stella Terra. The designers made elements of the SUV livabie for long-distance, multiday journeys: for example, the car’s scats fully recline to create a bed. When the car is still, the solar panels can be extended to maximize charging, while doubling as an awning (遮阳篷) for shade.The team tested the vehicle in Morocco earlier this month, driving more than 1,000 kilometers between the country’s northern coast and the Sahara Desert in the south. “Morocco has a huge variety of landscapes and different surfaces in quite a short distance,” says Bosman, adding that the car was tested “on every type of surface that a car like this could encounter”.Bosman noted that the vehicle had proved to be one-third more efficient than expected on the trip, and that its lightweight design made it less likely to get stuck on rugged terrain (地形), and put less stress on its suspension.The team hopes their concept SUV could be mass-produced in the near future. “We aim to inspire not only everyday people, but also the automotive industry, the Ford and Chryslers of the world, to think again about their designs and to innovate faster than they currently do,” says Bosman.12．What is the main advantage of Stella Terra?A．It is much lighter than other electric SUVs.B．It has a top speed of 145 kilometers perhour.C．It can drive long distances powered by the sun.D．It can be used for emergency aid and deliveries.13．According to Thieme Bosman, what is one potential application of Stella Terra?A．Personal use in urban areas.B．Taxi services in crowded cities.C．Off-road adventures in remote areas.D．Delivery services in well-developed regions. 14．How did Stella Terra perform during the test in Morocco?A．It underperformed on rough ground.B．It reached top speed over a short distance.C．It never got trapped in challenging landscapes.D．It was beyond expectations in terms of efficiency.15．What is the team’s hope for Stella Terra?A．It can inspire the automotive industry.B．It will be well received by consumers.C．It can replace Ford and Chrysler designs.D．It can be innovated faster than other SUVs.A paid internship (带薪实习) is a job often in your chosen field of work that offers a salary and is combined with training in your field. Paid internships are common for college students, who may work part-time during the school year and full-time during the vacation. The duration of the internship is not fixed. 16 Sometimes, it can last for a year or two as knowledge increases.Certain fields may require that you obtain internship experience in advance before getting a license. 17 Students might seek out paid internships to increase their chances of getting hired in their chosen career. A few paid internships may be completely unrelated to jobs you might want to be in but are attractive because they’re fun or have flexible scheduling.18 They allow you to make some money while learning more about the jobs you might later apply for. In addition, engaging in a paid internship allows you to establish connections with professionals and peers within your industry. These networking opportunities can prove invaluable in the future.Some work opportunities are known as partially paid internships. These typically offer a stipend (生活津贴) or a fixed and regular payment that is less than a standard salary. Stipends range greatly and may include housing as part of their offer. 19Paid internships have the potential to lead to permanent employment. 20 Because the transition from an intern to a full-time employee depends on several aspects, including the intern’s performance, organizational needs, and the availability of suitable positions.A．Not all internships are paid.B．However, this outcome is not guaranteed.C．There are many advantages of paid internships.D．Usually the money offers just enough to live on.E．It can be of short duration, lasting only several months.F．This is common in the teaching field and many scientific fields.G．Moreover, paid internships tend to attract a broader pool of applicants.二、完形填空“Would you say you are more of a scientist or an artist?” I frequently 21 this question as I was preparing my doctoral program, often after I told my classmates that I 22 writing poetry.

It was dangerous, back-breaking work that paid very little. In the year I had worked there only four other people hadn't quit and been replaced with new faces. Those of us who stayed did so only because there was no other work to find to support our families.On this day the fans weren't working and all of us were covered in sweat and sawdust. When I looked around every face I saw looked angry and frustrated. Suddenly,a voice called out:“Hey! There's a deer in here.” A lost little doe had wandered through the open loading bay doors and was now cowering(蜷缩）in between the huge stacks of wood. All of us stopped working and went looking for her as she ran about looking for a way out.Now most people where I live hunt deer for meat in the fall, but also treat them with great kindness the rest of the year. Many will even buy 50lb bags of corn to help feed them during the harsh winter months. It was no surprise then that all of us were soon quickly working together to free this little doe. By blocking off all the other routes we were able to guide her panic search back to the open bay doors. We watched as she jumped out of the building and back into the woods. Then we walked back in to work. I noticed something, though. On every face there was a joyful smile. It was as if this one single act of kindness had energized us again and reminded us of what life is all about.1. Why were few people willing to work in the wood mill?A．They wanted more freedom.B．They didn't like the boss.C．The pay and conditions were bad.D．They wanted more pleasure.2. What can be inferred from paragraph 2?A．The workers often saw a deer there.B．The deer was a light to the dull work.C．The deer was trapped in a big well.D．All the workers wanted to catch the deer.3. How did the men free the deer in the end?A．By opening one route.B．By dropping some food.C．By using familiar signals.D．By imitating another deer.4. Which of the following best describes the workers?A．Bad-tempered but patient.B．Hard-working and loving.C．Cautious and courageous.D．Bad-tempered and demanding.3. People who have kids live longer than those who remain childless, an academic study has suggested. Researchers believe it is because adults’ immune systems are “refreshed” when kids go to nursery and start picking up infections.During the course of someone’s life, their immune system can become weaker. But when kids start bringing infections home, their parents’ immune systems get a workout. Non-parents — unless they are teachers or nurses perhaps — do not get the same exposure to infection.Writing in the journal Scientific Reports, Miguel Portela said parents had less risk of dying from infection than non-parents and if they did, it was about five years later. He said that “a parent’s immune system is refreshed by a child’s infections at a time when their own protection starts wearing thin.” He added, “With this improved immune system, the parent has a better chance to defend whatever infections that might strike when old and weak and parenthood is rewarded in individual terms through an improved immunization against infe ctions.” Naturally there are other reasons why some people live longer than others, but they may not be comparable with becoming a parent. The academics say that high income and house ownership are always associated with higher survival but less so than having children.Mr. Portela admits the research is far from complete, saying that while the results “record a relationship between the presence of children and death rate, the specific transmission mechanisms remain unclear. He acknowledges the presence of other, perhaps behavioral factors in parents which result in changed death rate compared to individuals without children.” He adds, “While the relationships of lifestyle choices such as smoking, obesity, drinking and other behavioral factors with life expectancy and causes of death are well studied and understood, the same cannot be said for the individual decision to become a parent”.1. Why did Mr. Portela say “parents had less risk of dying from infection than non-parents”?A．Parents have healthier lifestyles.B．Parents have less exposure to infection.C．Parents have higher ability to fight against infections.D．Parents have less experience to fight against infections.2. How are parents protected against infections?A．By being exposed to their kids’ infection. B．By working out with their kids.C．By refreshing their kids’ life.D．By strengthening their kids’ infection.3. What can we infer from the research?A．Rich life benefits parents more than having children.B．Lack of sleep has nothing to do with life expectancy.C．The presence of children can improve parents’ healthD．Behavioral factors contribute to higher death rate than having no children.4. What’s the best title for the passage?A．Parents and Non-parents B．How to Achieve Longer Life Expectancy?C．How Is Parents’ Immune Systems Changed? D．Children’s Effect on Parents’ Immune System4. Not long ago, no one understood that infectious diseases were caused by tiny organisms that moved from person to person. Even now, although we know that tiny living microbes cause disease, how they do so is not always obvious. 1 They can also be transmitted through our skin through insect or animal bites. The best way to prevent infections is to block pathogens(病菌)from entering the body.The first line of defense is to keep germs at bay by following good personal health habits. Wash your hands well. You probably wash your hands after using the bathroom, before preparing or eating food, and after gardening or other dirty tasks. 2 Wet your hands thoroughly. Lather(泡沫)up with soap or cleanser, and rub it into the palms and backs of your hands and your wrists. Be sure to clean your fingertips, under your nails and between your fingers. Wash under running water. 3Whether you are young or young at heart, getting vaccinated(接种疫苗)is an essential part of staying healthy. 4 such as a temporarily sore arm or low fever, they are generally safe and effective. Vaccinations are essential if you are to avoid getting sick. In general, children should receive the recommended childhood vaccinations. Adults should make sure their vaccinations are up to date. When traveling abroad, check with your health care provider about additional immunizations(免疫).5 Stay clear of wild animals. Many wild animals, including bats, foxes and coyotes, can spread the virus to humans by biting. Keep your pets away from wild animals, too. Dogs, cats or any other type of warm-blooded animal can pick up the virus and pass the virus along to people.5.

Perhaps the best way 2 (understand) Western art is to look at the development of Western painting over the centuries. During the Middle Ages, artists were not interested in 3 (paint) realistic scenes. This began to change in the 13th centurywith Giotto di Bondone, whose paintings 4 (show) real people in a real environment. Next camethe Renaissance, when new ideas and values gradually replaced old 5 (one) from the Middle Ages. Painters adopted a 6 (humanistic) attitude to life, using perspective and oil paints. The emphasis 7 (increasing) shifted from religious themes to people and the world around us. After the invention of photography, paintings were no longer needed 8 (preserve) what people and the world looked like. As a result, Impressionism emerged in France. The name of this new movement came from 9 painting by Claude Monet called Impression, Sunrise. In this work, Monet’s aim was to convey the light and movement in the scene.

第一部分：阅读理解(每题2分，满分40分)AThe other day I heard a few local musicians talking“I hate all the terrible pianos in this town. I hate that rubbish they play on the radio. They can’t even understand a bit of music.”“I’m never playing in that club again. Too many drunks and nobody listens to us.”But, one younger musician said, “There are a few clubs that book my band a few nights a month, and I’m trying to find other places to play. I’m also looking to book a few summer festivals this year.”I’ve heard that you are the average of the five people whom you spend the most time with, or to put it another way, you are who your friends are.Attitudes are important. Whether they’re positive or negative, they’re rubbing off on you. If you’re around people who complain about lack of work and about other musicians, or blame (责怪) others, and you play the role of victim (受害者), chances are you will start to as well. So it’s time to take a look at the people you call “friends”.This is an easy exercise Make a list of the people who you hang out with, and simply stop spending time with the negativepeople on your list. Set a new standard (标准) for yourself and don’t become friends with people who fall below that standard.Keep successful people around you and your own chances for success will be much better. Ask them how they do it. Ask if they will help you get the work you’re looking for, or maybe give you some advice to help you on your career path.21. Which of the following would be the best title for this passage?A. A friend in need is a friend indeedB. How to make friendship last for everC. You are who your friends areD. Friends are the most important in one’s success22. The underlined sentence “they’re rubbing off on you” in Paragraph 6 means ______.A. they’ll push you aheadB. they’ll influence youC. they’ll cover your shortcomingsD. they’ll help you achieve your goal23. The musicians’ words at the beginning are written mainly to show ______.A. the musicians’ living conditions are quite poorB. people have poor taste in musicC. people have different attitudes towards the same thingD. young people have greater chances of succeeding24. By taking the exercise mentioned in Paragraph 7, you can ______.A. improve a lot in making more friendsB. come to the right way of making friendsC. develop a better relationship with your friendsD. arrange the time with your friends properlyBIn the United States, when one becomes rich, he wants people to know it. And even if he does not become very rich, he wants people to think that he is. That is what “keeping up with the Jo neses” is about. It is the story of someone who tried to look as rich as his neighbours.The expression was first used in 1913 by a young American called Arthur Momand. He told this story about himself. He began earning $125 a week at the age of 23. That was a lot of money in those days. He got married and moved with his wife to a very wealthy neighbourhood outside New York City. When he saw that rich people rode horses, Momand went horseback riding every day. When he saw that rich people had servants, Momand and his wife also hired a servant and gave big parties for their new neighbours.It was like a race, but one could never finish his race because one was always trying to keep up. The race ended for Momand and his wife when they could no longer pay for their new way if life. They moved back to an apartment in New York City.Momand looked around him and noticed that many people do things just to keep up with rich lifestyle of their neighbours. He saw the funny side of it and started to write a series of short stories. He called it “Keeping up with the Joneses” because “Jones” is a very common name in the United States. “Keeping up with the Joneses” came to mean keeping up with rich lifestyle of the people around you. Momand’s series appeared in different newspapers across the country for over 28 years.People never seem to get tired of keeping up with the Joneses. And there are “Joneses” in every city of the world. But one must get tired of trying to keep up with the Joneses becauseno matter what one does, Mr Jones always seems to be ahead.25.Some people want to keep up with the Joneses bacause they _______.A.want to be as rich as their neigboursB.want others to know or to think that they are richC.don’t want others to know they are richD.want to be happy26.It can be inferred from the story that rich people like to _______.A.live outside New York CityB.live in New York cityC.live in apartmentsD.have many neighbours27.Arthur Momand used the name “Jones” in his series of short stories because “Jones” is ______.A.an important nameB.a popular name in the United StatesC.his neighbour’s nameD.not a good name28.According to the writer, it is _______ to keep up with the Joneses.A.correctB.interestingC.impossibleD.goodCReal Christmas trees on farms would not exist if people stopped buying them. Just one acre of growing Christmas trees produces the daily oxygen requirements for at least eighteen people.Christmas tree farms protect water supplies, stabilize soil, and help protect wildlife. The forests of North America spread over roughly the same area of land as they did a century ago and in the past ten years have in fact expanded by almost ten million acres. Furthermore, to guarantee a steady supply, one to three new seedlings are planted for every tree they harvest.With global warming being such a major concern,developing woodlands is an essential part of the fight. While potted trees are a better alternative than artificial, they require a certain amount of care. Bur it would be a better choice than a plastic tree which will remain under the ground for centuries once it’s discarded.On average, it takes a Christmas tree five to sixteen years to become mature. Before the Christmas tree industry appeared, people used to cut trees from forests, sometimes unlawfully, and usually with no concern for the possible harm to the forest. But today, Christmas tree growers plant as many as fifty million trees per year.Several districts have recycling programs that turn Christmas trees into mulch(覆盖物).For a small fee, the Boy Scouts will deal with it. Fake Christmas trees can’t be recycled, while real Christmas trees support life. We shouldn’t add more pollution to our earth.If you know a needy family in need of a Christmas tree, buy them a real one. Give a live Christmas tree to someone this Christmas and what you do will help protect the environment.29 .The underlined word “discarded”(in Paragraph3) can be replaced by _______.A. plantedB. moved C .transported D. deserted30 .We may infer from the passage that the Boy Scouts will _______.A. buy artificial Christmas treesB. sell real Christmas treesC. make artificial Christmas trees D .recycle real Christmas trees31 .The purpose of the passage is to call on people to _______.A. plant real Christmas treesB. stop cutting down Christmas treesC. stop buying fake Christmas treesD. deal with plastic Christmas treesDBeijing’s markets will soon be flooded with more and cheaper colourful fruit such as orange mangos and green durian (榴莲) all year round.Thanks to a new free trade agreement signed last Monday between China and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations(ASEAN)， more and more tropical Southeast Asian fruit will enter the country.The agreement means that from July 1,2005, China and ASEAN countries will begin to cut tariffs. There are about 7,000 products included in the cuts.As global communication develops, countries are trading more and more goods with each other. When products are sold across national borders, countries put a tax on them. This type of tax is called a tariff.Just like removing an obstacle from the path of these goods, the reduction of tariffs will encourage trade between China and ASEAN countries. It means more products and lower prices.The agreement will bring real benefits for Chinese customers, said a Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman. “In the Beijing markets you will easily find more tropical fruit like durian, which used to very, very, very expensive. Now they will be cheaper.” The current tariff rate on durian is 22 per cent but will fall to zero in 2005.In the first 10 months of this year China did US$84.6 billion of trade with ASEAN countries. Experts believe this may reach US$100 billion next year.Founded in 1967, ASEAN now includes Indonesia, Malaysia,Singapore, the Philippines, Thailand, Brunei, Viet Nam, Myanmar, Cambodia and Laos.32.A tariff is money paid .A.when buying goodsB.to sell or buy products of foreign brand namesC.to sell or buy goods across the border of the countryD.to go through the customs33.Which of the following statements about the agreement is NOT true?A.It will result in an increase in trade between China and ASEAN countries.B.In might cause the prices of ASEAN products to fall.C.It may greatly benefit the Chinese customers.D.It won’t bring any benefits to producers of ASEAN countries.34.We can infer from the story that .A.China lacks fruitB.tariffs are an important factor in foreign tradeC.tropical countries have cheaper fruitD.China prefers to trade with ASEAN countries35.The best title for this passage is .A.Tariff Cut Boosts TradeB.Best Ways To Sell FruitsC.Tropical Fruit To ChinaD.China Joins ASEANETaking good notes is a time-saving skill that will help you to becomea better student in several ways36 Second, your notes are excellent materials to refer to when you are studying for a test.Third, note-taking offers variety to your study time and helps you to hold your interest.You will want to take notes during classroom discussions and whilereading a textbook or doing research for a report.37 Whenever or however you take notes, keep in mind that note-taking is a selective process.38The following methods may work best for you.●Read the text quickly to find the main facts and ideas in it.●Carefully read the text and wa tch for words that can show main points andsupporting facts.● Write your notes in your own words.● 39● Note any questions or ideas you may have about what was said or written.As you take notes, you may want to use your own shorthand(速记).
