江苏省扬州市新华中学2023-2024学年高一上学期期中考试英语试卷学校:___________姓名:___________班级:___________考号:___________一、阅读理解Are you interested in higher education in the United States? The following advice might help you.●College, University or InstituteColleges and universities offer undergraduate degrees in arts and sciences. And both can help prepare young people to earn a living. But many colleges don’t offer graduate studies. Universities are generally bigger, offer more programs and do more research. An institute of technology can offer a wide choice of programs and activities. Seventy-five percent of freshmen go there with a strong interest and involvement in the arts.●The Application ProcessInternational admissions officers advise students to apply to at least three schools. You may be able to apply online and pay the application charge (费用) with a credit card, or by mail. You should study the websites of schools to find information about how and when to apply, how much it will cost and whether any financial aid is available.●Get a Student CardIf you request a visa for the first time, you will have to go to an American embassy or consulate (领事馆). You will need to bring a government form sent to you by your American school that shows you have been accepted. A consular official will also take your picture and your fingerprints. You will also need banking and tax records that show you have enough money to pay for your education.●Financial AidAmerican schools provide aid, like scholarships, fellowships, to almost half of foreign graduate students, but only ten percent of undergraduates. But grants, which, unlike a loan, does not have to be paid.1.It can be inferred from the passage that American colleges and universities ________.A.have both similarities and differencesB.have their own origins in institutes of technologyC.can offer a wide choice of programs and activitiesD.provide about seventy-five percent students with art courses2.According to the text, students are advised to ________.A.apply to as many schools as they canB.apply online without any expenseC.get to know how and when to applyD.find out whether the schools are free3.The purpose of the passage is ________.A.to make some money B.to provide foreign students with a guide C.to improve education quality D.to attract foreign visitors to AmericaCole Doss, 31, used his time on the microphone to make an announcement (广播) before the flight to honor his mom, a flight attendant for over 40 years.“She’s been one of my biggest supporters in my life and in my career (职业) becoming a pilot, ever since my very first flight lesson,” Doss told passengers, later adding, “To my mom, I love you, and without you, I wouldn’t have chosen such a great job.”Doss said the flight last month from Washington, D.C.to Madrid was not only the first time he and his mom had worked on a flight together, but also the first time his mom had been on a flight that he piloted.“That was the first time I had been able to fly my mom ever,” he said. “In flight school, she was a little nervous about the small planes, so I was never able to fly with her there.” Doss said his mom typically works on Asia-bound flights, but when she learned he was piloting a flight to Spain, she switched (调班) schedules with a fellow flight attendant so she could be on the same flight.On the day of the flight, Doss, having been a United Airlines pilot since February 2022, and his mom also worked on the return flight back to Washington, D.C.together. “I wanted to do something special to pay back my mom and let everyone know that this was a really cool event for both of us,” he said.“She was really proud of me so I’m sure she probably told most of the passengers that her son was flying up front,” Doss said. In addition to his mom’s role as a flight attendant for the United Airlines, Doss’ dad and sister are flight attendants for the American Airlines. 4.Why did Doss make the announcement on board?A.To read out some new rules.B.To express thanks to his mother.C.To tell passengers about safety.D.To help an old lady stay calm. 5.What is special about the flight for Doss?A.It was his first time flying with his mother.B.It took more than 24 hours to reach Madrid.C.He celebrated his birthday with passengers.D.There was only one attendant on the flight.6.How did Doss’ mother feel about him?A.Hopeless.B.Strange.C.Sorry.D.Proud. 7.What can we learn about Doss from the text?A.His sister also works for the United Airlines.B.He used to be nervous about small planes.C.His family has positively influenced him.D.He always chats with his friends online.Some of the world’s best Coffea arabica is grown on Mount Kenya. This variety of the plant produces beans that are tastier than those from its poor cousin, Coffea canephor a (known as robusta), which often ends up in instant coffee (速溶咖啡). However, global warming may reduce the total area that is most suited to growing arabica beans by about half by 2050.Some farmers are trying to adapt to warming by moving uphill. Yet this pushes them into areas long used for growing tea. Not only is there less space higher up; the move stresses how warming also threatens to harm the tea crop, which supports about 10% of Kenya’s population. Warmer weather will push tea itself higher up area.Kenya’s government-funded Coffee Research Institute is trying to find other ways of helping farmers adapt, such as encouraging them to plant trees to shade their coffee bushes, or to grow hardier (适应性更强) robusta plants. It is also trying to plant a hybrid, Arabusta, which would combine the hardiness of robusta with the flavour of arabica. Coffee snobs may turn up their noses at it, but they may have no other choices.However, such adaptations may bring social costs. Many smallholder farmers are at risk of being pushed out of the industry altogether because they cannot afford the money needed to protect their crops.Another option may be entirely new varieties. Researchers in London are studying awild type of coffee, Coffea stenophylla. It is delicious and can also take the heat. But it produces lower harvest than existing varieties and it may be years before it is widely grown. Without a breakthrough of some sort, caffeine addicts may face a future too unpleasant to imagine. “If we don’t have the innovation (创新) to respond to climate challenges,” Vern Long of World Coffee Research says, “we’re just going to be drinking man-made coffee.”8.In what way is Coffea arabica better than Coffea robusta?A.Flavor.B.Harvest.C.Hardiness.D.Sales. 9.What does the underlined “it” refer to in Paragraph 3?A.Robusta.B.Arabica.C.Arabusta.D.Stenophylla. 10.What might be the impact of the government’s policy?A.Good money will be brought in.B.The areas of tea crop will be reduced.C.The cost of coffee-planting may drop.D.Smallholder coffee farmers may disappear.11.What’s the purpose of this text?A.To give suggestions to coffee farmers.B.To recommend new varieties of coffee.C.To introduce coffee industry under threat.D.To list possible solutions to climate changes.The 37-year-old artist, Kelly McKernan, from Nashville, Tennessee calls her works “surreal (超现实的)”. She says they are “dealing with discomfort in the human journey”. Living as an artist is difficult enough. Now McKernan faces another challenge: artificial intelligence (AI).About a year ago, McKernan began seeing online images (图像) strangely similar to her own. She soon learned that companies were feeding artwork into AI systems to train software programs to create similar images. McKernan said, “I didn’t give my agreement for my name or works to be used this way.”McKernan said she even tried to contact some of the companies to say “Hey, little artist here, I know you’re not thinking of me at all, but it would be really cool if you didn’t use my work like this.” But there was no answer.In January, McKernan, and two other artists, Karla Ortiz and Sarah Andersen, startedaction by law against three image-generator companies: Stability AI, Stable Diffusion and Midjourney. They also included the online gallery DeviantArt in the case.The artists are seeking to protect their copyrighted works and their careers. They say the AI image-generators violate (侵犯) the rights of millions of artists by using their artworks for training and then producing similar works that compete against the originals (原作). The artists are seeking damages and a court order to stop AI companies from using their works without being allowed.Karla Ortiz works in the entertainment industry. Her work has been used in several well-known movies, including Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 and Jurassic World. She feared that film companies would think artworks from artists cost too much. Why, she asked, would film companies buy artworks from artists if they can pay $30 a month for AI-created works?McKernan agreed: “Will I even have any work a year from now?”12.What troubles artist Kelly McKernan?A.The great similarity in her works.B.The competition among the artists.C.Her works being recreated without her agreement.D.Her customers’ increasingly high requirements.13.How were McKernan’s words dealt with by some of the companies in paragraph 3?A.They were treated properly.B.They were given timely attention.C.They were regarded as impolite.D.They were answered with silence. 14.What may make film companies use AI-created works according to Karla Ortiz?A.Their low prices.B.Their better quality.C.Their higher safety.D.Their good service.15.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A.Human Artists Lose Their Jobs B.Artists Fight Back Against AIC.Artworks Can Be Created by AI D.Artists Should Accept AI Works二、七选五carefully in and out of the classroom. Whether you have a big test coming or you’re looking to improve your studying skills for history courses, there are a few things you can do toprepare.Organize your notes in time order. 17 . Keeping that order in the notes that you take both in class and while reading will help you organize the information you receive. Always write down the date of events in your notes and try to keep things in order.Write down important information from your teacher and textbook. As the information is on the blackboard in front of you, you don’t want to take notes. 18 . However, you’ll soon forget the facts and dates if you don’t write them down right away. The same goes on when you’re reading the texts. So, keep a notebook and aim to take at least 1 page of notes per chapter or 30 minutes of lecture.19 . Studying history can often feel like you’re memorizing many disconnected dates, names, and places. Avoid this by making the clear connections (联系) in the notes that you take. Then, when you’re preparing for a test, you’ll be able to draw on these connections and historical events.Ask your teacher about any information you didn’t understand. Sometimes students feel shy to ask their teacher questions, but there’s no reason to feel shy that way. If you’re confused about a point in the lecture or are struggling to remember any dates, names, or places, don’t hesitate to ask your teacher after class. 20 .A.You can also send him an email that night.B.Therefore, it is useful to take notes in class.C.You may think it useless to take notes in class.D.Write down connections between the notes you take.E.In history, many events took place in a certain order.F.Make a visual map of historical events that you are studying.G.However, studying history can be very easy and even enjoyable.三、完形填空“Just sign here, sir,” the deliveryman (送货员) said as he handed Oscar Reyna a package.it immediately.Oscar was 16 when he first saw the 24 umbrella.

She then met her husband and got married. Merrill first thought about going to school part-time to get a degree, but later she decided to follow her dream of attending medical school. Certainly, it was a challenge. Speaking of her successfully returning to university, Merrill owed it to her family largely. “When I was accepted at Mayo Clinic Alix School of Medicine, we moved from Pennsylvania to Arizona,” said Merrill, who is moving to Indiana with her family to begin her residency (实习期) in neurosurgery. “In fact, they volunteered these movements. I know it was tough for all of us.”Merrill and her children often have “homework parties” where they study for their owncourses. Merrill’s choice has given a kind of stimulus to her children. Merrill felt touched knowing her 11-year-old daughter wants to become a surgeon and overhearing her son tell his friends his mom’s going to be a cool brain surgeon, though he doesn’t understand that really.Merrill’s next step into a neurosurgery residency will take her into a male-dominated field where only 5% of board certified neurosurgeons are women. Dr. Michele Halyard at Mayo Clinic Alix School of Medicine said Merrill was known as a focused student. Halyard said, “If you can deal with nine children patiently, the residency should be a piece of cake because no amount of stress will make you fail.”Merrill had considered choosing a more family-friendly career, but, again, she chose to follow her original dream. It’s the same advice she would give to all. “Set the goal that is what you’re really enthusiastic about, and it helps to think small. If you know what your interest is, focus on the next step. Then you’ll get where you want to go.”4.Why does Merrill mention their movements?A.To stress the support of her family.B.To show her determination to be a doctor.C.To reflect difficulties in attending college.D.To describe the process of pursuing her dream.5.What does the underlined word “stimulus” mean in paragraph 3?A.Comfort.B.Development.C.Choice.D.Inspiration. 6.What do Halyard’s words in paragraph 4 mean?A.Merrill will have more stress to handle.B.Being mom ensures Merrill a better doctor.C.Staying focused and sensible is key to success.D.Merrill can make it in the residency.7.What does Merrill mainly suggest in the last paragraph?A.Starting with small things.B.Being true to your passion.C.Keeping your interest right.D.Having the courage to dream big.During the summer holiday, visiting museums has become a new fashion, with several famous museums being considered as “must-visit” places by visitors. Tourists were seen queuing for long hours in front of museums and getting entrance tickets became more challenging.According to media reports, the Henan Museum received more than 12,000 visitors this summer, nearly double that of the same period in 2019. The Hangzhou Museum recorded 12,800 visitors on July 16, setting a new daily attendance record. In response to the growing need, 46 museums in Beijing canceled their Monday closures and remained open daily until August 31.According to Xinhua News Agency, the “museum fever” can be caused by various factors, including the public’s increasing enthusiasm for traditional Chinese culture, the increasing market for youth educational tours and summer camps, as well as the continuous development of museums.Lin Liugen, the director of the Institute of Archaeology at Zhejiang University, said the “museum craze” reflects a deep connection between the public and traditional culture. As the economy and society progress, more people want to have a deeper understanding of China’s rich culture and history.Summer camps, family trips and educational tours have been the primary forms of tourism this summer, with museum visits becoming a must-do activity for travelers.Besides, the application of new technologies has made cultural relics (遗物) easier to reach. For instance, 3D projection technology breathes life into those relics, enabling them to come alive before visitors’ eyes. AR glasses offer a special experience by allowing visitors to enjoy relics through voice orders and sight recognition. Additionally, an advanced intelligent lighting system helps display relics more clearly and vividly.Liu Yanchang, the curator (馆长) of the Shandong Museum, said “In the future, more and more people will take visiting museums as a kind of habit and lifestyle.” On how to better meet museumgoers’ needs, Sun Mingli, deputy curator of the Suzhou Museum, says that popular museums may consider using hourly booking systems or hosting “cloud exhibitions” to improve visitor experience.8.According to the text, what is one of the reasons for the increase of museum visits?A.The public prefer traditional Chinese culture to modern culture.B.The public see visiting museums as a good way to educate youth.C.The museums remain open daily during the summer holiday.D.The museums are the best places to understand China’s history.9.Why are new technologies applied in museums now?A.To bring great convenience to modern museums.B.To show the most advancedtechnologies.C.To offer more real visitor experience.D.To add some new traveling places. 10.According to Sun Mingli, what can museums do to provide better service?A.Improve the booking system or online displays.B.Include more technologies into museum displays.C.Limit the number of daily visitors in museums.D.Require museumgoers to make earlier bookings.11.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A.Museum visits improve youth education.B.China sees museum fever this summer.C.Cultural relics become easier to reach.D.Visitors expect more from future museums.We all know eating ultra-processed foods that make our lives easier -- such as sauces, and frozen pizza --isn’t good for our health. Studies have found they can raise our risk of obesity, heart problems, diabetes and cancer. They may even shorten our lives. Now, a new study has revealed eating more ultra-processed foods may contribute to overall cognitive decline, including the brain executive functioning -- the ability to process information and make decisions.“While in need of further study, the new results are quite compelling and emphasize the critical role for proper nutrition in preserving and promoting brain health and reducing risk for brain diseases,” said Tanzi, professor at Harvard Medical School. He was not involved in the study but he said in his book, “They are very high in sugar, salt and fat, promoting systemic inflammation, perhaps the most major threat to healthy aging. Meanwhile, since they are convenient and quick, they also replace fiber foods important for maintaining the health and balance of bacteria in your gut,” he added, “which is particularly important for brain health and reducing risk of age-related brain diseases like Alzheimer.”The study, presented at the 2022 Alzheimer’s Association International Conference, followed over 10,000 Brazilians for 10 years. “In Brazil, ultra- processed foods make up 25% to 30% of total calorie intake. We have McDonald’s and Burger King. It is not very different from many other Western countries,” said coauthor Dr. Suemoto. Ultra-processed foods are defined as industrial formulations of food substances containing little or no whole foods and typically includeflavorings, colorings and other chemical additives, according to the study.“People consuming over 20% of daily calories from processed foods had a 28% faster decline in global cognition and a 25% faster decline in executive functioning compared to people who not,” said study coauthor Natalia. Those in the study who ate the most ultra-processed foods were more likely to be younger, women, white, had higher education and incomes, and were more likely to have never smoked, the study found.“People need to know they should cook more,” Suemoto said, “And it’s worth it because you’re going to protect your heart and guard your brain she added”.12.What is the new finding about eating ultra-processed foods?A.It makes people gain weight easily.B.It speeds up people’s aging.C.It may reduce people’s cognitive ability.D.It is responsible for heart problem. 13.What do we know from the passage?A.Ultra-processed foods only affect your executive function.B.Whoever never cooks is sure to develop Alzheimer.C.Tanzi is the first to find the problem with Ultra-processed foods.D.Brazilians' calorie intake is not different from most Westerners.14.Who is likely to eat more ultra-processed foods?A.A young professor.B.An old beggar.C.A heavy smoker.D.A low-income man.15.What’s the main idea of this passage?A.People are advised to cook more for the benefit of their health.B.Taking in ultra-processed foods may cause various health problems.C.Convenient ultra-processed foods attract people from all walks of life.D.Ultra-processed foods high in fiber can reduce the risk of brain diseases.You may look nice or just fine; however, you will never be happy with your looks if you don’t feel good about them. Here is how you can feel better about yourself and the way you look.Know what is attractivenessWe are told from a young age what is attractive and what isn’t. 16 . Then we feel bad about our looks. So this needs to change. It isn’t possible to change society’s ideas on beauty,but it is possible to change your own ideas. Who do you respect in real life? 17 .It’s not just about looksYour overall confidence does not need to depend on the way you look. You should care about your inner quality too. Those qualities include your abilities and what you are good at, your personality, how you look at the world, and the relationships you have within it. 18 .Remember to smileSmiling always makes people look more attractive. This might seem like an easy thing to do, but for some people their “resting” faces always look sad, even they really aren’t. 19 . People are attracted to those who smile, and doing so can also lift your spirits.Have less stressThe more stressed out you are, the more it will show on your face. This can make you look less attractive. 20 . These happy thoughts can change the way you look as well as the way you feel.A.Looking bad is nothing unusual.B.Just keep things the way they are.C.So try to relax and think about pleasant things.D.We usually don’t meet these standards of beauty.E.So it will take practice to make sure you smile as much as possible.F.They are the beautiful ones, not the people in photoshopped pictures.G.These things will last over time while good looks will disappear slowly.二、完形填空I always described myself as a perfectionist.

一、现代文阅读(35分)(一)现代文阅读I(本题共5小题,19分)阅读下面的文字,完成1~5题。
材料一:《学而》章重点在“学而时习之”,正确理解这句话,对正确理解本篇内容以及整部《论语》,进而深入体会孔子思想都极为关键。
“时”修饰“习”,“之”代指“学”的内容,“而”连接前后两个部分,并且有“然后”、“进一步”的意义,后世阅读者对这些部分基本没有什么异议,但此句关键在“习”(習)。
《说文》曰:“習,数飞也。
从羽,从白。
”“习”字篆书下面是鸟头形,上面是鸟的羽毛,由此,我们可知,“习”的本义为小鸟展开翅膀反复练习飞翔的本领。
小鸟在巢穴中,对于飞翔技能,无论母鸟怎样教,怎样示范,但最根本的是需要小鸟自己去做飞翔实践,因此,习(習)造字之初即蕴含着“践行”意义。
《学而》章此处“习”字,也应当为“践行”义。
由此,“学而时习之,不亦乐乎”应理解为“学习之后,要抓住时机,不断地在实践中去印证、检验学习的内容是否正确,是否能达于实际的社会生活。
如果学习者发现所学东西竟然可以用在自己切实的实践活动中,并且可以指导印证社会人生,那该是多么快乐的事情!”每个人应该都会有这样的人生经历和体验,当你看到、听到、学到的东西随即可以在实践中发挥作用,这应是令人欢欣鼓舞的事情。
学习书本知识后机械地反复温习复习,能令多少人从中找到快乐,这似乎有违常理,由于这种违背常理和人性的误读,从而导致学习者觉得《论语》面目可憎、孔子虚伪假道,因而,还原《论语》本来面目,是今天我们重读经典的要义之一。

江苏省扬州中学2024-2025学年高一上学期11月期中英语试题一、阅读理解Shipping containers are becoming increasingly popular compared to traditional houses. These 20- or 40-foot containers can be obtained as low as several hundred US dollars each, and it’s not surprising that some industry professionals and even city planners consider them the future of home building. Below are details of some amazing homes made out of shipping containers.London Container City (I and II)London’s Container City first sprang up in the heart of the docklands in 2001. It took just five months to complete the original 12 work studios. Shortly after that, a fourth floor of studios and living apartments was built on top of these. The first container city was so successful that another—Container City II — was added to it.Los Angeles Redondo Beach houseWith its modern lines and appealing spaces, the award-winning Redondo Beach House is a luxury beachside showpiece built from eight recycled steel shipping containers, along with some traditional building materials. According to the architects, the improved containers are “nearly indestructible”.Amsterdam KeetwonenAmsterdam’s massive Keetwonen complex houses 1,000 students and it is the largest container city in the world. The housing project is a roaring success and features units that are quiet and comfortable. Each resident enjoys a bathroom, kitchen and separate sleeping and studying quarters. The complex even has central heating and high-speed internet as well as areas for parking bikes.Mexico M2ATK Container HouseM2ATK designed this unique container house for an artist. It’s fully equipped with heating and cooling, a kitchen and bathroom. On the bottom floor of the house are ‘‘public spaces” such as the kitchen and living room. The second floor is the bedroom, and the top floor is a studio space in which to work, read and “let fly the imagination”.1.Compared to traditional houses, container houses are _____.A.much easier to repair B.more comfortable to live inC.less expensive to build D.more fashionable in style2.What can be learned about Amsterdam’s Keetwonen complex?A.It offers shared and unique living space.B.It includes living space and car parks.C.It is the first container city in the world.D.It’s equipped with modern facilities.3.Which of the following is the best title for the poster?A.Home in a Steel BoxB.Housing Options and SolutionsC.Recycled Material for Ideal HomeD.Shipping Container Home ChallengesI am a multi-sport athlete and seasoned coach. When I was growing up, school wasn’t really my thing, but sport very much was. Athletics connected me to my school community by giving me a sense of belonging and success even when I struggled in the classroom. When I entered education, I knew I wanted to be more than a coach on the field and court — I wanted to help students like me make meaningful connections to school through sports.I designed a program around the concepts of comfort and stretch zones. On day one, I set up a range of equipment for different sports across a field. In groups, students discussed sports that they felt comfortable and safe playing. They then took turns selecting their comfort sport on the field, doing a brief share, and playing with their group. Afterward, we had a class discussion on the importance of doing things that bring joy and passion, and how sharing that passion with others motivates us and the people around us.On day two, with the same field design and sporting equipment, I introduced the idea of stretch zones. Students formed the same groups as on day one and discussed which sports were out of their comfort zone and more challenging to them. Some of my students were shy and others slightly frustrated (沮丧) as they struggled to perform the skills in sports in which they were not comfortable. Then we discussed, as a class, how even when something is challenging, if we recognize the difficulty and intentionally practice, we give ourselves the opportunity to overcomeit over time.The program required more than just adjusting my curriculum (课程) — it also meant some changes to the way I taught. I found myself opening up to my students and sharing my own hardships and successes with them. As a result, my students felt freer to be their real selves. 4.What did the author think of sport when he was a student?A.It helped him get attached to school.B.It led to a decline in his grades.C.It made him struggle in the classroom.D.It appealed mainly to seniors.5.Why did the author design the program?A.To change curricula and teaching methods.B.To prepare students for unexpected challenges.C.To deepen students’ connections with school.D.To share hardship and success with students.6.What was a problem facing the author on the second day of the program?A.Students wanted material rewards.B.It was difficult to group students.C.Some students feared challenges.D.The sports field became crowded.7.What can we infer about the author?A.He is involved in one sport.B.He used to be very shy.C.He is in favor of safe sports.D.He is a creative teacher.Adults are often ashamed to ask for help. Seeking someone’s help can make you feel like you are broadcasting your inability. New research suggests young children don’t seek help in school for the same reason.Kayla Good, a graduate student at Stanford University, and Alex Shaw, an associate professor of psychology at the University of Chicago, applied a classic technique to learn more about how children think about reputation: Across several studies, they asked 576 children aged four to nine, to predict the behavior of two characters, Tom and Jack, in a story. Tom really wantedto be smart, and Jack only wanted to seem smart to others. In one study, they told children both characters did poorly on a test, and asked which of them would be more likely to raise their hands in front of their class to ask the teacher for help.The four-year-olds were equally likely to choose either of the two characters as the one who would seek help. But by age seven or eight, children thought Jack would be less likely to ask for help. And children’s expectations were truly “reputational” in nature — they were specially thinking about how the characters would act in front of peers. They could still imagine situations where Jack would seek help: when it could be sought privately (on a computer rather than in person), children thought both characters were equally likely to ask for it.Given the findings, it seems quite possible that when children themselves are the ones struggling, they, too, might avoid seeking out help if they are concerned about reputation. If so, the unwillingness to seek help when others are present could clearly impede learning progress. To improve in any field, one must work hard, take on challenging tasks, and ask questions. However, the situation can be difficult when someone is concerned about their impressions on others. 8.What were the children asked to predict about the two characters?A.Their likeliness to get help.B.Their possibility of seeking help.C.Their performance in a test.D.Their understanding of reputation.9.Who was likely to seek private aid according to the eight-year-olds?A.Tom.B.Jack.C.Neither.D.Both.10.What does the underlined word “impede” in paragraph 4 probably mean?A.Prevent B.Secure.C.Advance.D.Recover.11.What is the author’s suggestion for kids?A.Be ready to help others.B.Make efforts to be smarter.C.Care less about reputation.D.Be brave to ask for help.Studying the DNA of 300 mice has flagged up (引起注意) genes which have been linked to hereditary (遗传的) sight loss for the first time. Researchers say because mice’s genes are sosimilar to humans’, their findings could lead to the treatment of more genetic diseases.Scientists at the University of California, Davis studied information from a data bank of mice’s genetic material. They found 347 genes linked to eye problems, with just 86 of them having been studied in the past.Only around 50 to 75 percent of hereditary eye diseases in human can be explained with present science. The researchers believe these hundreds of new genes found in mice could be a key to explaining and therefore being able to treat the other 25-50 percent.“This is extremely valuable for people with hereditary eye disease,” said researcher Professor Ala Moshiri. “All researchers are going to start using these data. In the past, we knew the problem was there but we didn’t know where to look. Now eye centers can call back patients and screen them for these new genes. We expected that more and more of these genetic diseases will be treatable.” Also, the fact is that more than 60 percent of eye problems at birth are ones resulting from the baby’s parents!Thanks to data from the International Mouse Phenotyping Consortium (IMPC), which is trying to work out what every single gene in a mouse is responsible for, with the aim of translating it to humans, scientists are moving closer to figuring out all genetic causes of blindness. To do this, scientists separate a single gene from other ones at a time and then observe what effect it has on the mouse for a long time. This has so far been done more than 7,000 times and has achieved great success. Researchers are now working alongside eye care centers in Texas and Iowa in order to compare the mice’s genes to those of patients.12.How did the researchers find the genes linked to eye problems?A.By tracking down the baby’s parents.B.By screening patients for new genes.C.By studying the data of mice’s genes.D.By figuring out all genetic causes.13.Why is the percentage of genetic eye problems mentioned in paragraph 3?A.To warn the high-risk level of suffering them.B.To prove mice’s genes are similar to humans’.C.To explain how common they are among people.D.To show the importance of studying mice’s genes.14.What should scientists do first to unlock secrets of genetic blindness?A.Set apart a gene of mouse each time.B.Compare human’s genes with mice’s.C.Cooperate with eye care centers.D.Identify each gene’s function of a mouse.15.What can be a suitable title for the text?A.New Ways to Cure Sight LossB.Genes Found Behind Eye ProblemsC.Genetic Disease Discovered in MiceD.Humans Genes Causing Eye DiseaseFeeling like what you do is worthwhile is arguably a significant key to a happy life. But what this means is different for each person. These strategies can help you find your purpose so you can begin living a more meaningful life.Donate time, money, or talent16 . Altruistic (利他) behaviors include volunteering for a nonprofit organization, donating money to causes you care about, or simply helping out the people around you on a day-to-day basis.Listen to feedback (反馈)It can be hard to recognize the things you feel passionate about sometimes. After all, the things you love to do may have become so ingrained (固化) in your life that you don’t realize how important they are. 17 . This is a good chance of displaying your passion and purpose.Start conversations with new peopleIt’s easy to surf social media while you’re alone on the subway. Resist that urge.18 . Ask them if they are working on any projects or what they like to do for fun. Talk to them about organizations with which they are involved. You might discover new activities to explore. And those activities might be key to helping you find your purpose.19Are you regularly sharing articles about climate change? Are there pictures of you engaging in a particular activity over and over, such as gardening or performing? Consider the conversationsyou enjoy holding with people the most when you’re meeting face to face. Do you like talking about history? Or do you prefer sharing the latest money-saving tips you discovered?20 .A.Explore your interestsB.Otherwise, it may drag you downC.Spread sunshine to people through your smileD.Instead, take the time to talk to the people around youE.You can develop helpful habits in your search for purposeF.The things you enjoy sharing may reveal your purpose in lifeG.Fortunately, other people might be able to offer some deep understanding二、完形填空When I was in the sixth grade, my teacher had us write letters to our heroes. While others wrote to Nelson Mandela or Hillary Clinton, I wrote to Jennifer Cihi, a popular singer.

Jennifer was the prototype (原型) of the character of my first novel. But she was just a passing thought that faded (变淡) 24 about five years later. Then at age thirty-one, a social media meeting allowed me to meet her. Later I sent my first Facebook message, 25 to tell her about the “story” between us.I didn’t want to seem like a crazy fan. So I 26 said, “I want you to know that you27 me to live the amazing life that I’ve led. I have written several novels, been an actress, and now I am a 28 .

But it was only a few years ago that he learned about the people who repaired the musical instruments (乐器) that brought him and so many other students joy and support over the years.The film The Last Repair Shop, directed by Bowers, pays attention to those people who have repaired more than 130,000 students’ instruments for free -work that has started in a L. A.shop since 1959.For Bowers, making the film was a meaningful job. He learned about the work of Steve Bagmanyan, a worker who tuned (调音) the pianos in Bowers’ primary and middle schools. “I was able to thank someone who helped me a lot on my way to becoming a musician,” Bowers says.Besides Bagmanyan, who is one of four workers, each personal story intersects (交织) with a piece of L.

Since 2008, she has led five groups of students across China to study its culture and history.Gerard often tells her students that the trip is not a vacation but an academic (学术的) course. “Anyone interested in the trip must take an online course about the history of China before they go,” she said. “And, most importantly, students continue to learn while in China. They’re advised to listen to guides, keep a diary and write about their experiences after the trip.”OTC student Ross Weis believed his experiences in China were better than anything he could have learned in the classroom. In fact, it was his great interest in China that led him to go on the trip to China. “I’ve always been drawn to China and its rich cultural history,” Weis said. “Mydad studied history in college, and I think that might have some influence on me.”Of all the cities and historical sites Weis visited, he said nothing could top his experience at the Great Wall. “I’d read about the Great Wall and seen it on TV, but it is so different to go there and actually experience it,” he said. “It wasn’t as old as I had thought it to be. That was pretty cool.”Every OTC group Gerard has taken to China has been led by her trusty tourist guide, Jim Lieu. Gerard plans her trips directly through Lieu, which keeps travel costs down for students. “Lieu and I have an excellent relationship with one another. He always knows what I want for my students, and I know what he can do,” said Gerard. “He strongly believes that in order to build a better world, people around the world should get to know each other through travel.”8.Why did Gerard organize the students to travel to China?A.To help students have a happy vacation.B.To give students more travel experiences.C.To teach students culture and history of China.D.To provide students with an interesting life outside of school.9.What should the students do before their trip to China?A.Take part in online learning.B.Talk with the guide personally.C.Share their experiences of the trip.D.Write a diary about their preparation. 10.What made Ross Weis take the trip to China?A.His love for travel.B.His interest in China.C.His teacher’s invitation.D.His father’s encouragement.11.Which of the following best describes Jim Lieu?A.Brave.B.Patient.C.Helpful.D.Humorous.Hundreds of thousands of babies’ lives could be saved in Uganda, an African country, each year thanks to a Liverpool doctor’s invention.The Babysaver, developed by Professor Andrew Weeks, a doctor from Liverpool, is a simple plastic unit (器件) where babies can be resuscitated (使恢复知觉的) without having to be taken away from their mothers. It costs only $40 and power free, and the aim is to make sure that it can be used in every hospital in Uganda.Other expensive facilities need electricity. But it is often unavailable (不可获得的) for the thousands of babies born at home in the villages far away from cities.Professor Weeks explained, “Each year about six million babies across the world need basic newborn resuscitation and around 900,000 of these babies stand no chance. This mostly happens in poor families. When resuscitation is needed, it often happens away from the mothers, or even in another room, which can be very anxious for the mother. The Babysaver enables resuscitation to take place at the bedside, allowing doctors and nurses to stay with the worried mother at this intense time for her.”The product has been developed with the help of Dr. James Ditai and Peter Watt, who are good at designing, after many experiments with doctors and patients at the Mbale Regional Referral Hospital (MRRH) in Uganda. Peter said, “We believe it will be a game-changer for families across Uganda.” Dr. Kathy Burgoine, Head of the Neonatal Unit at MRRH, said, “We are happy to be supporting Professor Weeks and his team in this project. The unit is a life-saver and will change the way newborn resuscitation is carried out in our hospital and other places.”The project has been funded by Grand Challenges Canada, which offers enough money to develop projects in poor countries in the world, and the Sir Halley Stewart Trust, a charity that supports innovative and pioneering social and medical projects.12.What is an advantage of the Babysaver according to the text?A.It is not simple.B.It is not expensive.C.It is for family use.D.It is electric-powered.13.What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 3 refer to?A.Home.B.Village.C.City.D.Electricity. 14.How did MRRH support Professor Weeks?A.By changing games.B.By providing money.C.By doing experiments.D.By designing Babysaver.15.What is Dr. Kathy Burgoine’s attitude toward the Babysaver?A.Doubtful.B.Worried.C.Unclear.D.Hopeful.Having a dog is good for your health. 16 You need to organize your day well and adjust (调整) it for your dog’s daily walking needs. Here are some safe dog walking tips.17 Of course, the situation may happen when you badly need to go, for example, to a shop and then you have to leave the dog on a leash (狗链).

The best choice is to prepare at least 40 minutes for a walk with your dog.Take your dog to meetups. Dogs enjoy meetups with other dogs. Plan dog meetups and group-walks for your dog to play with other dogs.

江苏省扬州市广陵区红桥高级中学2024-2025学年高一上学期11月期中英语试题一、阅读理解Four Ways Your Cat Tries to Communicate with YouCats are amazing creatures, and while they can’t talk to us, they certainly know how to communicate their needs and feelings. It’s just up to us to learn how to listen to what they are saying.MeowingCats meow at their owners for several reasons, including: to ask for food, to greet people, to ask for attention, to let you know they want to go outside/come inside. In addition, elderly cats suffering from cognitive disfunction, similar to Alzheimer’s Disease (阿尔茨海默症) in humans, may meow due to becoming confused or disoriented, so we encourage you to schedule an appointment with us if your senior cat seems confused or is meowing more than usual.PurringWhile cats do purr as a sign of contentment, they also do it as a self-comforting mechanism when sick, stressed or injured. If your cat is purring but also showing signs that something may be wrong, like hiding more than usual or refusing food/water, they could be sick or in pain.Tail PostureIf they hold their tail straight up and have relaxed fur, they’re likely to feel happy or curious. But if their fur stands on end while their tail is straight, this indicates fear or anger. Holding the tail low or hidden between the legs indicates insecurity, and a tail that’s rapidly twitching back and forth suggests anxiety.RubbingWhen your cat rubs against your legs or gives you head butts, they are telling you that they love you. That is not the only thing they are doing, though! Cats rub their bodies and cheeks against people and objects to mark their territory and to claim humans, other cats, and various objects as their own.1.When cats are sick or in pain, what are they likely to do?A.Meow at their owners.B.Rub against your legs.C.Purr and refuse food.D.Hold their tail straight up.2.What may a cat show when it hides its tail between legs?A.Insecurity.B.Depression.C.Curiosity.D.Happiness. 3.Who provides this text most probably?A.A cat sitter.B.A cat owner.C.An animal shelter.D.A pet healthcare centre.For over ten years I had been trying to lose the extra weight I was carrying. I tried several techniques, and even dangerous methods like simply not eating, but I didn't lose much weight.13 months ago, I decided to tum to weight lifting. I had already been exploring the gym community on TikTok. For me, it was so encouraging to watch online videos about other people's fitness journeys and see how people changed over the course of a year or so by lifting weights. I got to the stage where I really wanted to change the way I was.The first two months was horrible. At first, I was in pain every day. And I didn’t feel like there were any changes. At the same time, I was rebalancing my diet to include 50 percent vegetables, 30 percent protein, and only 20 percent carbs (碳水化合物), which was causing a few digestion(消化) problems.After the first two months, I had been noticing slight changes that made me want to continue. After reaching the six-month point. I noticed drastic changes in my stomach area. I cried because I felt so happy. I had been struggling for over ten years with that area, and seeing the fat there start to go away was a real relief (宽慰) to me.I felt so proud of myself for keeping up my efforts, even when I didn't see any results. Sometimes, I don't think about why I'm going to the gym — it's just my habit. I believe that it's important to do something for your health daily. For me, it's about wanting to do it every day, not just at the beginning, or even for six months. I think instead of wanting to remove fat as fast as possible, you have to do something that is going to last for a long time.4.Why did the author decide to practice weight lifting?A.Hew as encouraged by online videos.B.He suffered from health problems because of his weight.C.People in his community advised him to do so.D.The sport is popular on TikTok. 5.What do we know about the author during his first two months of weightlifting?A.He ate a lot of meat.B.He had physical suffering.C.He lost weight rapidly.D.He developed an illness.6.What does the underlined word "drastic" mean in paragraph 4?A.Gradual.B.Potential.C.Big.D.Short-term. 7.What can we learn from the author's experience?A.Stick to what we do to the end.B.Caro about both physical and mental health.C.Focus more on the process than the result.D.Have clear plans and targets for each day.Most human language tends to take a happy view on life, a new study suggests.A team of scientists used big data techniques to examine a massive amount of data on 10 languages, from Korean Twitter feeds (信息) to Russian literature. They found that the most commonly used words in each language all leaned toward the positive. The research was published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.The new research builds on some old ideas about language. “The concept has been around for a while that maybe we naturally tend to communicate in a way that encourages us to get along, ” Christopher Danforth, co-author of the study, told Live Science.In 1969, psychologists at the University of Illinois came up with the idea. called the Pollyanna hypothesis (假说), that humans have a universal tendency to use positive words more often than negative ones. But those findings were based on small studies.In the new study, Danforth and his team took a more data-driven approach. The researchers analyzed billions of words from English, Spanish, French, German, Brazilian Portuguese, Korean, Chinese (Simplified), Russian, Indonesian and Arabic. The words came from two dozen types of sources, such as books, news outlets, social media, websites, television and movie subtitles, and music lyrics.The researchers identified about 10, 000 of the most commonly used words for each language, and asked native speakers to rate the happiness of these words on a scale (范围) from 1 to 9, where 9 was a smiling face, 1 was a crying face, and 5 was neutral. For example, English speakers rated the word “laughter” at 8.50 and the word “terrorist” at 1.30.On average, the ratings showed that a Google search of Spanish websites had the highest score for word happiness, followed by Portuguese Google searches, Portuguese Tweets, and English Google Books. Chinese Google Books had the least happy words, followed by Korean movie subtitles and English music lyrics. But across all languages and types of text, the median word happiness score was higher than 5 on the scale of 1 to 9. In other words ,humans use more happy words than sad ones, the researchers said.8.What would the psychologists in the article probably agree with?A.People all over the world tend to use negative words.B.All human language holds a bright view on life.C.People have a tendency to communicate in a selfish way.D.People around the world prefer happy words to sad ones.9.In what way is Danforth’s study an improvement over previous studies?A.The number of data.B.The quality of data.C.The object of the study.D.The research environment.10.How did Danforth and his team conduct their research?A.By classifying languages by topic.B.By interviewing native speakers.C.By rating the happiness of the words.D.By identifying the most happy words, 11.What is the text mainly about?A.The effect of positive languages.B.A feature of human languageC.Different ideas on human language.D.The development of human languageHow would you survive without your smartphone? For many of us, it’s the device we’re most attracted to — looking at it hundreds of times a day. We depend on it to perform different tasks and to connect with our friends and family. But have we become addicted to our phones?Certainly, the inventor of the first mobile phone, American engineer Martin Cooper, thinks we might be. In a BBC interview, he suggested people should stop scrolling (刷屏) and “get a life”. But of course, once we start scrolling or watching videos, we just can’t kick the habit. Psychologist and author Jean Twenge says, “we’re all guilty of habitually checking our phones if waiting for a text or getting really into social media then kind of, looking up and realizing that an hour has passed.” There’s even a word — a phubber — to describe a person who ignores the realpeople around them because they are concentrating on their phones.But does it matter if we make the most of this technology? Possibly, because like a drug, the problem arises when it is taken away. A study from King’s College London found young people they studied couldn’t control the amount of time they spent on their phone. Such addictive behavior means that people become anxious or upset when they are refused constant access, which can cause anxiety and mental health issues.Interestingly, another study by the London School of Economics and Political Science suggests we don’t just look at our phones because we are encouraged by a text or e-mail. The people they studied felt natural to interact with their phones, just as a smoker would light a cigarette. Prof, Saadi Lahlou, co-author of the study, told the BBC “We must learn tricks to avoid the temptation (诱惑) when we want to concentrate or have good social relations.”One solution could be an app that rewards students for time spent away from their phones. Another choice is changing your smartphone to an ordinary phone that has none of the distractions (分心事) on it. But mainly, perhaps, we just need to look up more and reconnect with the real world!12.What did Martin Cooper suggest people do?A.Enjoy life by stopping the habit of scrolling.B.Learn tricks to avoid the temptation.C.Change their smartphones to ordinary phones.D.Use an app that rewards them for less phone use.13.Why do people feel ashamed after checking their phones?A.For not being productive enough.B.For missing important texts or calls.C.For not being able to connect with others.D.For using their phones for a long time. 14.What does the study from King’s College London imply?A.The young shouldn’t use their phones.B.Curing phone addiction is not an easy job.C.Young people can’t survive without phones D.Using phones leads the young to be anxious.15.What is the main message of the text?A.Smartphones are essential for modern life.B.People should avoid their addiction to smart phones.C.The inventor of the mobile phone should be punishedD.Smartphones have a certain impact on mental health.Whether you’ re travelling for business or pleasure, every trip needs a little planning. 16 As long as you allow yourself plenty of time to look around, compare prices, and make sure you have everything you need before you leave, you can plan a great travel experience.Start planning 3 - 6 months in advance. The further away you want to go, the sooner you should start planning. 17 Similarly, trips during high seasons, such as summer or over the holidays, need to be booked further out than trips during low seasons.18 Before you do anything, you need to know how much money you will have. It’s easy to overspend when you’re travelling if you don’t plan ahead, so start your planning by breaking down how much you want to spend on transportation, food, accommodation, sightseeing, and any other activities you hope to include in your trip.Book transportation and accommodations in advance. If you still haven’t booked your transportation or accommodations within 4 weeks of your intended departure date, you need to do so now. 19 You also run the risk of the flight you want being sold out or the hotel being fully booked.Make meal plans before you go. Think about how often you want to eat out, and how you want to handle things like snacks. For example, if you have kids, you may want to pack some sandwich bags and get a full-sized box of their favorite food. 20A.Set a travel budget.B.Bring enough money.C.International trips can take months to plan in advance.D.Travel planning doesn’t have to be stressful, though.E.You can book them on the website or through phones.F.The longer you wait, the more expensive these will get.G.That way, you can take these to go instead of spending on snacks.二、完形填空After my mother passed away and my brother went to study in New Zealand, the first thing that I really felt different was the dinner table. My father and I began eating 21 .We went out to dinners with our own friends or just ate sandwiches in front of our computers. Then, a few weeks before I was prepared to 22 university, my father walked downstairs. “You know, I think we should start eating together even if it’s just you and me,” he said. “Your mother would have 23 that, especially before you start your college life.”It wasn’t perfect — the meals we made weren’t 24 and we missed Mom and my brother. But there was something special about setting aside 25 to be with my father. It wasa comfortable moment to 26 busy days: an excuse to talk, to think about the day and recent27 . Eating together was a small act, and it needed very little of us — and yet it was surely one of the 28 parts of my day.In fact, most American families report 29 a single meal together less than five days a week. It’s a 30 that so many Americans are missing out on the meaningful time with their loved ones. Not eating together also has negative 31 both physically and psychologically.Children who do not eat dinner with their parents at least twice a week are 40% more likely to be overweight 32 to those who do. And students who do not eat with their parents are more likely to drop out of 33 .

Ipek and other garbage men started gathering the books they found on the streets that were ready for landfills (垃圾填埋场) and as their collection started to grow, so did word of mouth. Soon, local residents started donating books directly. At first the library was only accessible to the garbage employees and their families but as the collection grew, so did public interest and the library was opened to the public in 2017.“On the one hand, there were those who were leaving these books on the streets. On the other hand, others were looking for these books,” Ankaya mayor Alper Tasdelen told CNN. “We started to discuss the idea of creating a library from these books and with everyone’s support, the project became a reality.”All the books that are found are carefully sorted and checked for condition. If they’re up to standard, they’ll go on to the shelves. Today, the library has over 6,000 books that range from fiction to nonfiction and there’s a very popular children’s section that even has a collection of comic books. Additionally, there is a section specially set aside for book types of scientific research and books there are available in both English and French. The collection has grown so large that the library lends books to schools and educational programs.“Village school teachers from all over Turkey are requesting books,” Tasdelen told CNN. The government has to hire a full-time employee to manage the library.This library is incredibly popular. It is frequently filled with the children of the city’s workers and students from nearby schools. There is a waiting room set up for readers and chess boards for the people who visit the library.

Even if they never see their results, they feel that their IQ is what determines how well they are going to do in life. When they see other students doing better than them, they usually believe that those students have a higher IQ and that there is nothing they can do to change facts. However, new research into EQ suggests that success is not simply the result of a high IQ.While your IQ tells you how intelligent you are, your EQ tells you how well you use your intelligence. Professor Salovey suggests that when predicting someone’s future success, their EQ might actually matter more than their IQ. For example, have you ever wondered why some of the smartest students in your class, who you think deserve good grades, sometimes end up failing exams? Perhaps their failure is because of their low EQ.It is generally believed that people with high EQs are open to new ideas and have positive attitudes towards life. They are also less likely to be troubled by problems. On the other hand, there is little doubt that people with low EQs often have problems getting on with other people and dealing with difficult situations; thus they have a harder time surviving in life.The good news is that most social scientists agree that EQ has a lot to do with education. Compared with IQ that seems to be fixed the moment you were born, EQ could be improved with right approaches. Some are trying to study the possibility of improving a person’s EQ, especially when it comes to“people’s skills”, such as understanding and communication.To get ahead in the world and lead a happy successful life means getting on with other people and being able to understand and react to situations in the best way. This requires a high EQ—the higher the better.8.Most students think others’ better performance in studies is due to_____.A.high IQ B.teachers’ assistanceC.good luck D.hard work9.What can we infer from paragraph 2?A.Only EQ determines someone’s future success.B.EQ plays a more important role in one’s future success.C.Some smartest students fail exams because of their low IQ.D.The most intelligent students deserve good grades.10.What will people with a high EQ tend to do?A.Refuse new ideas.B.Be troubled by problems.C.Have a negative attitude.D.Get along well with others.11.What contributes to a higher EQ according to most social scientists?A.Education.B.Parents.C.Friends.D.Environment.Humans’ light at night does not spare even the sea from its glare (强光). Researchers published the first global map of ocean light pollution. It shows large parts of the sea are lit up at night. And that risks confusing or disrupting the behaviors of sea life.Tim Smyth led a team to research the areas of the ocean where light pollution is strongest. Smyth and his colleagues started with a world map of man-made night-sky brightness that had been created in 2016. Then they added data on the ocean and atmosphere. Some data came from shipboard measurements of man-made light in the water. Others came from satellite images that judge how clear the water is. Particles (微粒) in the water, such as tiny floating plants and animals, can affect how far downward light travels. These factors vary from place to place and may change with the seasons. The team also used computers to copyhow different wavelengths of light move through water.Next, they wanted to know how that underwater light might affect animals. Not all species will be easily affected. The team focused on copepods (桡足亚纲甲壳动物). These common creatures are a key part of many ocean food chains. They use light as a signal to move all together to the dark deep, seeking safety from other surface creatures. Normally they use the sun or the winter moon as their signal. Too much man-made light can mess up their usual patterns.Light pollution is strongest in about three feet of the water. Here, man-made light can be strong enough to confuse the copepods. Nearly 2 million square kilometers of ocean get such strong night light. That’s an area about the size of Mexico. Farther down, the light gets weaker. But even 65 feet deep, it’s still bright enough to bother copepods across 840,000 square kilometers of ocean.The team published its findings on December 13 in Elementa: Science of the Anthropocene.12.Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word “disrupting” in Paragraph 1?A.Upsetting.B.Observing.C.Ensuring.D.Protecting. 13.What do we know about copepods from the passage?A.They are main eaters of other creatures.B.They are not affected by underwater light.C.They can escape attacks with the help of light.D.They can weaken the effect of man-made light.14.How does the author show the seriousness of light pollution in Paragraph 4?A.By stating opinions.B.By listing numbers.C.By raising questions.D.By giving reasons.15.Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?A.Light Pollution from Sea Life B.Living Conditions of CopepodsC.Discoveries of Copepods D.Light Pollution Even in Sea二、七选五Helping Y our Kids to Be Interested in SportsBeing active and moving is something that is so important for us all, especially for children. 16 However, some parents can feel surprised when they see that their child isn’t interested in sports. So how can you encourage them to get involved?17 This is true for many aspects, but especially for getting children to participate in sports. If you are interested and active, they are more likely to follow suit. If you spend all day on the couch, they may form similar habits.18 Although children can choose who they want to support, seeing your enthusiasm for a particular player or team can be just what they need to start their own journey. You could take them to a team uniform store, where they can choose a sports shirt with their name on it, for example. 19It’s also important to keep sports fun for children. When they are able to enjoy what they do, they will see it as something enjoyable rather than as a chore. If they show particular skill and interest in playing a sport, then extra practice and training can be introduced. 20 Whatever sport children choose to play, encourage them and make it enjoyable. This will help them develop a lasting interest that they can carry with them throughout their lives.A.Leading by example is a great idea for parents.B.Here are some other tips that you would share with them.C.Additionally, watching the team play at one of their games can light their passion.D.So think about ways that can get them to be active in the sports.E.How active a child is will influence their overall health and learning.F.Apart from setting a good example, you can also share your favorite team or player.G.However, the key to getting children into sport is to keep it fun.三、完形填空Living a healthy life is essential for a happy and fulfilling life.
