Throughout the class，she didn't speak or look up from her notebook.At break，she went to the library （1）______ .I wondered what made her so shy and ter that week，I was partnered with her for an assignment.Then I knew her name was Lucy.During the project，I realized Lucy was kind and smart.I smiled at her and tried to include her in the conversation.She gave a small（2）______ in return.Over the next few months，Lucy and I became close friends.I invited her to sit with me at lunch and join after-school activities with us.Slowly，Lucy began to open up.She （3）______ about herself，and told me that she loved to read and watch old movies.I was relieved（宽慰的）to see the shy，hesitant expression leave her face.One day Lucy told me a secret.She'd been bullied（欺凌）for a long time at her former school.The rude treatment had hurt her much，so that she became quiet，and had been fearful of（4）______ with people since.As she spoke，tears filled her eyes.I felt sad that such a lovely girl had been caused so much pain.I told Lucy she shouldn't have been treated that way and I was（5）______ to have her as a friend.A smile（6）______ across Lucy's face，and she hugged me.At that moment，something changed slightly inside me.I realized Lucy's friendship had given me a gift —the ability to see through the（7）______ of people into who they truly are.Her quiet kindness and sensitivity had changed me for the better.From that day on，Lucy and I were inseparable（不可分的）.Her friendship taught me the importance of opening one 's heart and（8）______ out to others.The day I met Lucy，everything changed —for the better.13.

Many students ask for advice about how to improve their English.Here are three questions from three students and the advice from Diana at New Standard Magazine.Please find the proper advice for each of the students.Li Hao ："I like watching English films and listening to English songs ，but I don't understand verymuch.What can I do "（1） ______Wang Fan ："Our school has a teacher from the US.I am shy and I am afraid to speak to her.What should I do " （2） ______ Zhang Lei ："I write down new words ，but I forget them quickly.How can I remember them " （3） ______ A.English spelling is difficult.Youneed to have a good knowledge ofthe way that words are written.Forexample ，remember that theword"letter"has double"t"in it.B.Watching films and listening to songs are great ways to learn English.Watch and listen several times ，and guess the meanings of the new words.I also advise you to talk about the films or songs with your friends.C.You can say ，"Hello!How are you ？""Do you like China ？"These are good ways to start aconversation.And before you begin ，you should smile at her!Rememberthis ：Don't be shy.Just try.D.Do not worry.It is natural toforget new words!I suggest youwrite four or five words a day onpieces of paper and place them inyour room.Read the words whenyou see them ，and try to use them.(1)(2)(3)OIt was a beautiful day ，and Lily was excited to go on a school field trip to the zoo.She had been looking forward to this day for weeks ，and nothing could dampen her spirits （影响兴致）.As she and her classmates walked through the zoo ，they came across a group of monkeys.Lily was attracted by the monkeys and started taking pictures with her phone.As she was about to move on ，she noticed one monkey that seemed different.It wasn't moving around or playing with the others.Instead ，it was sitting alone，looking sad and lonely.Lily couldn't help but feel sorry for the monkey.She wondered why it was alone and why it seemed so sad.As she walked away，the image of the lonely monkey stayed with her，and she couldn't shake off the feeling that something wasn't right.The next day，Lily decided to do some research about monkeys and their behavior.She learned that monkeys are social animals and need to be with others of their kind to be happy and healthy.She also learned that many monkeys in captivity（圈养）suffer from loneliness and depression.Lily couldn't stop thinking about the lonely monkey in the zoo.She knew she had to do something to help.She reached out to the zoo and asked if there was anything they could do for the monkey.The zookeeper explained that they were aware of the monkey's situation and were working on finding it a monkey for company.Lily was less worried to hear that the zoo was taking actions，but she didn't stop there.She started an event at her school to raise money for the zoo to build a monkey sanctuary（保护区）.She talked to her classmates，teachers，and parents，and everyone was eager to help.Within a few weeks，Lily had raised enough money to build a monkey sanctuary at the zoo.The monkey from the zoo was moved to the sanctuary and was soon joined by other monkeys，and they all seemed happy and satisfied.22. What drew Lily's attention when she took pictures？______A. Monkeys' behavior.B. Her smart phone.C. A sad and lonely monkey.D. A group of monkeys.23. Why did she do some research about monkeys and their behavior______A. To know more about monkeys.B. To help the zookeeper.C. To start an event at her school.D. To raise money for the zoo.24. From Lily's experience，we learn that she ______ .A. cares about animalsB. hates field tripsC. loves money-raisingD. likes to take photosPStudents may feel a little bit nervous when they are faced with an exam.They may start to sweat and grow short of breath.They may even become so fearful that they can't focus or think.This is known as test anxiety，which can stop students in their tracks.Stress causes different levels of anxiety.Good stress causes just enough worry to get someone to focus on a task and do it well.Bad stress，however，does just the opposite.Instead of helping someone to focus，bad stress may make a person not able to think or focus clearly.This stress response hurts more than it helps.So students should learn how to deal with anxiety and do well on exams in different ways.The first step involves keeping good stress from turning into bad stress.The best way to do this is toprepare the mind and the body.Instead of treating a test as a big challenge，you can use it as a motivator （动力）to learn.Prepare by making sure you understand what you will be tested on.This will help you do well.The next step is knowing about your body and recognizing the signs of anxiety before ithappens.Metacognition can help you achieve this.Metacognition is self-awareness of what the mind and body are up to in the moment.One way to think of it is by placing yourself on a "mental balcony"and evaluating yourself as if observing from above.Recognizing your own stress signals can help you figure out how to keep from experiencing increased anxiety.Relaxation fights anxiety.If you find yourself really panicked（惊慌的），take a moment to step back.Stop and close your eyes.Take deep breaths and think of a peaceful place to calm yourself down.As you relax，remind yourself that you have prepared and that all will be well.Remember，we all experience anxiety at times.Whether you're taking a test，performing，or competing，you can apply anxiety-reducing strategies to keep ing stress as a motivator instead of an obstacle can keep you from getting overly anxious.Coping with anxiety effectively will help you be your best for the test and for any other challenges you face.25. According to the passage，which of the following would reduce test anxiety？______A. Keeping questions in mind.B. Placing yourself on a balcony.C. Allowing yourself to calm down.D. Focusing on your task all the time.26. What can we learn from the passage______A. Stress signals can keep away test anxiety.B. Bad stress prevents a person from focusing or thinking.C. Using stress as an obstacle helps you do well in exams.D. Treating a test as a big challenge can reduce test anxiety.27. What is the passage mainly about？______A. The ways to reduce test anxiety.B. The importance of having exams.C. The introduction of different kinds of stress.D. The reasons to turn bad stress into good stress.QTeens with a greater sense of purpose may be happier and more satisfied with life than their peers who feel less purposeful.Studies have suggested that a sense of purpose in life is important for adults' well-being and has many positive effects on their physical and mental health.However，less is known about its effects in teenswho are struggling to develop their characters and plan for their future，according to the study led by educational psychology professor Kaylin Ratner."Teens who scored high on purposefulness were more satisfied with their lives and experienced more positive emotions and fewer negative emotions，"said Ratner."When these teens felt more purposeful than usual，they also tended to experience greater well-being."The project also examined some behavioral and cognitive（认知）patterns related to these teens' sense of purpose in life and their overall happiness.Each day for 70 days，the participants —teens ages 14-19 in a 10-week Learning Challenge project of their choosing —were asked to rate how purposeful they felt，how satisfied they were with their lives and the levels of positive and negative emotions they were feeling.At the beginning，the participants completed a 28-item survey that assessed（评估）their levels of sub-clinical autistic traits（亚临床自闭症性格）.A higher score suggested the teen had greater numbers of these traits，Ratner said.Then the participants completed assessments each day，rating on a five-point scale how purposeful they currently felt.Ratner's team calculated the average of these daily scores to determine each teen's behavioral and cognitive sense of purpose."Our findings show that when you feel more purposeful than usual，you have better outcomes_____，"Ratner said."Purpose is accessible to everyone.What we need to do is to help individuals feel more purposeful from day to day."They found that the participants with greater levels of sub-clinical autistic traits tended to report higher levels of negative feelings，and lower levels of life satisfaction and positive feelings .However，the strength of the association（联系）between well-being and daily purpose was not softened by these traits."Our study is one of the most consistent（一贯的）examinations of youths' purposefulness and helps strengthen the beneficial influence it has on their well-being，"Ratner said."It may lead to some purposefulness-promoting interventions to improve the well-being of many young people."70%of the participants were female.Nearly 31%were Asian，22%were African American or Black，18%were white and 14%were Hispanic.Because the sample was not representative of all teens in the country，however，the findings may not be generalized（普遍化）.28. Who's the most likely to have better outcomes according to Rater's study？______A. Jane studies hard but always worries.B. Mary sets a clear goal and makes a plan.C. Peter focuses on the result of his daily work only.D. Tom works fast without paying attention to details.29. What can we learn from the study mentioned in the passage？______A. One's character links well-being with daily purpose.B. Teens' well-being may benefit from their purposefulness.C. Teens who once had negative feelings scored high on purposefulness.D. A sense of purpose in life is not so important for adults' well-being as for teens'.30. The underlined words " is accessible to " in Paragraph 8 probably mean ______ .A. is new toB. is close toC. is hard to get forD. is easy to get for31. Which of the following would be the best title of the passage？______A. A Sense of Purpose may Have Great Influence on Teens' Well-beingB. Scientists Make Studies on How to Have a Sense of Purpose in LifeC. Much Attention Should Be Paid to Teens' Physical and Mental HealthD. Negative and Positive Feelings may Have Different Effects on One's Well-being32. All energy sources have their pros and cons—their good points and bad points.Modern societies have to make many decisions about how best to produce energy.The needs of the society have to be balanced against the need to protect the environment.Fossil fuels—coal，oil and natural gas—are a leading energy source around the world.They are called fossil fuels because they were formed from the remains of plants and animals that died many millions of years ago.Since then，great heat and pressure（压力）deep in the ground have changed them.So the fossil fuels we use today are found underground.One of the main advantages of fossil fuels is that they are abundant—found in many places and in large amounts.In addition，they contain a lot of usable energy.Coal is especially abundant.A special advantage of natural gas is that it burns very cleanly.When natural gas burns，it produces mostly carbon dioxide and water vapor.Oil's main advantage is that it burns efficiently—meaning that little is wasted in the change to energy.Also，the refining（提炼）process that makes gasoline（汽油）and diesel produces other petroleum products，which are used in crayons，bubble gum，eye glasses，and even artificial heart valves.All fossil fuels are basically non-renewable（不可再生的）because nature cannot create enough to keep up with demand.Many experts think that the world's oil wells will be empty in a few decades（十年）.But，even before then，the oil supply will be too small to meet global demands.Also，fossil fuels produce pollutants.Cars，factories，and many power plants release harmful chemicals into the air.As long as fossil fuels are burned，air pollution will continue to be a problem.Another problem is the greenhouse effect.Gases released from burning fossil fuels trap（储存）more heat in Earth's atmosphere than would be trapped naturally.This heating up of Earth's atmosphere is called global warming.Scientists think carbon dioxide contributes most to worsening the greenhouse effect，so even natural gas adds to the problem.We need energy，and the fossil fuels that supply most of our energy will not last forever.Finding renewable alternatives（替代品）is key to the world's energy future.Scientists will continue to do research.Each new source of energy will have its pros and cons，ernments and environmentalists will continue to debate which energy sources are the best while our need for energy continues to grow.(1) Where can fossil fuels be found？______(2) What is the special advantage of nature gas？______(3) How soon might oil be used up according to many experts______(4) Should we use fossil fuels in a saving way Why or why not？______33. 假如你是李华，你的英国笔友Chris 对中国传统节日很感兴趣。

Taking more than one day to complete.BNorth Americans value independence,and Europeans value togetherness. I never fully understood that stereotype until two months ago,when I left Canada for a 4-month period in a lab in France. On my first day,Pierre, a Ph.D. student,tapped me on my shoulder and asked："Coffee？" I nodded and followed him to the common room, where other grad students were filing in. I sat there,cautiously sipping the bitter liquid and trying hard not to reveal my uncultured tastes, while lab chatter filled the air.Coffee breaks are a ceremonial part of lab culture here. The chatter sometimes turns to serious scientific topics. But mostly,the meet-ups offer a chance to wind down, to share stories about life inside and outside the lab and to sympathize with people who understand what you're going through.The lighthearted atmosphere and sense of community is a welcome contrast to my life in Canada,where I spent most of my workdays in isolation. I went into the lab each morning with set goals for my day. At lunch,I'd keep my eyes glued to my computer while I fed forkfuls of salad into my mouth,trying to power through my to-do list. For 9 months, I struggled to figure out why I couldn't exactly copy the results of another study. I didn't want to trouble my advisor too much. I was also hesitant to ask my labmates for help.How much we were missing! Researchers need community because good ideas don't just come from reading literature and thinking deep thoughts. It's helpful to bounce ideas off others, and, to have a venue to share the day-to-day ups and downs of life.Would coffee breaks have solved all my problems Probably not. But I think sharing ideas with my peers would have helped solve my research dilemma. My time in France has taught me that it's important to create space for organic conversations about lab life. A scientist's life can feel isolating,but it's not necessarily so when you're connected to a supportive community.4.How did the author feel when he drank coffee for the first time in France？______A. A little nervous.B. Very happy.C. Somewhat excited.D. Quite curious.5.What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about______A. Cultural ceremonies in France.B. Various topics of the chatter.C. The benefits of coffee breaks.D. Lab culture in French style.6.What was the author's life like back in Canada？______A. Comfortable and fulfilled.B. Busy and lonely.C. Tense but satisfactory.D. Boring but healthy.7.Why does the author write this passage？______A. To introduce the coffee break in Europe.B. To explain the difference between cultures.C. To recall his personal experience in France.D. To convey the importance of a supportive circle.CA robot with a sense of touch may one day feel pain,both its own physical pain and sympathy for the pain of its human companions. Such touchy-feely robots are still far off, but advances in robotic touch-sensing are bringing that possibility closer to reality.Sensors set in soft,artificial skin that can detect both a gentle touch and a painful strike have been hooked up to a robot that can then signal emotions, Asada reported February 15 at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. This artificial "pain nervous system," as Asada calls it, may be a small building block for a machine that could ultimately experience pain. Such a feeling might also allow a robot to "sympathize" with a human companion's suffering.Asada, an engineer at Osaka University, and his colleagues have designed touch sensors that reliably pick up a range of touches. In a robot system named Affetto, an realistic looking child'shead, these touch and pain signals can be converted to emotional facial expressions.A touch-sensitive, soft material, as opposed to a rigid metal surface,allows richer interactions between a machine and the world, says neuroscientist Kingson Man of the University of Southern California. Artificial skin "allows the possibility of engagement in truly intelligent ways".Such a system, Asada says, might ultimately lead to robots that can recognize the pain of others, a valuable skill for robots designed to help care for people in need, the elderly, for instance. But there is an important distinction between a robot that responds in a predictable way to a painful strike and a robot that's able to compute an internal feeling accurately,says Damasio,a neuroscientist also at the University of Southern California. A robot with sensors that can detect touch and pain is "along the lines of having a robot, for example, that smiles when you talk to it," Damasio says. "It's a device for communication of the machine to a human." While that's an interesting development,"it's not the same thing" as a robot designed to compute some sort of internal experience, he says.8.What do we know about the "pain nervous system"？______A. It is named Affetto by scientists.B. It is a set of complicated sensors.C. It is able to signal different emotions.D. It combines sensors and artificial skin.9.What does the underlined word "converted" in Paragraph 3 probably mean______A. Delivered.B. Translated.C. Attached.D. Adapted.10.What does Damasio consider as an interesting development？______A. Robots can smile when talked to.B. Robots can talk to human beings.C. Robots can compute internal feelingsD. Robots can detect pains and respond accordingly.11.What can be the best title of the text______A. Machines Become EmotionalB. Robots Inch to Feeling PainC. Human Feelings Can Be FeltD. New Devices Touch Your HeartDOn a scale of 0 to 10.，I'd say my happiness ranks at about 6. I'm glad to know I'm a 6，because, as a famous management saying puts it,"You can't manage what you don't measure." If youwant to improve an aspect of your life, you need to be able to assess progress toward your goal - and that means measuring it.The goal of this column is to help you manage and improve your happiness. A number of people have asked me whether quantitative happiness measures are really accurate and reliable - and it's a reasonable question. So let's take a look behind the curtain. But not just for intellectual curiosity；as you will see,understanding the measurement of happiness can itself make you better at improving your own well-being - and avoid some critical errors.The best method scientists have to understand with confidence how something affects something else is a randomized, controlled trial. Think of the tests currently under way to find a vaccine for COVID-19. They take a long time because the drug companies with trial vaccines are conducting experiments that randomly assign people to a treatment group they get the vaccine）and a control group（they get a placebo），and then waiting to seif the drug is effective and safe by comparing the two groups after enough time has passed.In the research on happiness,this usually isn't possible. Want to know if people are truly happiest in Denmark, as some studies suggest,and test it with a randomized experiment？You would need to randomly take two groups out of their homes,move one group to Copenhagen, and the other to,say,Dayton,Ohio- but make sure they think it might be Copenhagen and never get the truth. Follow up a few years later to see who is happiest. Obviously, that's ridiculous. So with randomized controlled trials largely not available to them, happiness researchers instead rely on self-reported happiness surveys, where large groups of people anonymously report their levels of life satisfaction. Then, the researchers use fairly complex statistical techniques to mimic（模拟）a controlled experiment in order to show how different aspects of people's lives affect - or at least are associated with - their happiness.12.What does the underlined word "it" in Paragraph 1 probably refer to？______A. An aspect of life.B. One's goal.C. Happiness.D. Progress.13.Why is the test of COVID-19 vaccine mentioned in Paragraph 3______A. To introduce a latest medical breakthrough.B. To show the difficulty in finding the vaccine.C. To illustrate the process of randomized experiments.D. To prove the impossibility of randomized researches on happiness14.Why is it hard to conduct research on happiness with randomized experiments？______A. The experiment takes a long time.B. It is difficult to analyze the data collected.C. It is impossible to carry out the process strictly.D. The subjects are unwilling to share their feelings15.Where is this text taken from？______A. A magazine.B. A diary.C. A science report.D. A textbook.二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共10.0分）Open a book by any philosopher and you'll probably read that a meaningful life has to involve achieving something difficult. That's because many philosophers are perfectionists when it comes to the meaning of life. It's not just philosophers,either. Perfectionism is one of the main reasons people tend to believe their lives are meaningless. （1）______ .If they aren't doing something absolutely amazing,then life has no meaning.（2）______ .So the conclusion is obvious：most lives are meaningless. Right？Not really. Dig a little deeper,and perfectionism falls apart. Actually you don't need to be a perfectionist about the meaning of life. Life would be fantastic if everything was perfect. But something doesn't need to be perfect to be fantastic.（3）______ .For one,it's pretty inconsistently applied most of the time.People who are perfectionists about the meaning of life often don't apply it to other areas of their lives.（4）______ .For example,perfectionists don't think they're a failure if they don't get a hundred percent on every test. So isn't it also absurd to apply that kind of standard to the meaning of lifeIt doesn't end there. The demands that perfectionists place on themselves and others are actually really unrealistic. And that means they can only lead to disappointment.（5）______ .It would be similarly odd to call one of your friends a huge failure because he can't achieve as much in a day as Superman. But that's exactly the logic perfectionism applies when it claims that our lives have to be extraordinary in some way to have meaning.A. They see life as all-or-nothing.B. We don't expect a dog to drive a car.C. This leads to lots of double standards.D. You're unlikely to be satisfied with any result.E. And there are actually a few problems with perfectionism.F. However, most of us aren't an Einstein or a Mother Teresa.G. They'd probably dismiss the ideas like that as absurd, in fact.16. A. A B. B C. C D. D E.E F.F G. G17. A. A B. B C. C D. D E.E F.F G. G18. A. A B. B C. C D. D E.E F.F G. G19. A. A B. B C. C D. D E.E F.F G. G20. A. A B. B C. C D. D E.E F.F G.

Manu completed the project and was happy with the result.The night before the exhibition，he again checked the project to see if it was working fine.Alas!All the lights that were supposed to shine did not seem to light up at all.Manu was worried and even cried out because he didn't know how to fix it.In the end，he had no choice but to take it to school.At the same time，Kevin's team were working on their project at Kevin's house.If one member got stuck somewhere，the others helped out.It was a sight of real team work.Finally，it was time for the Math Week exhibition.All the teams placed their projects on the table with pride except Manu.Students enjoyed Snakes and Ladders.Manu was embarrassed （尴尬的）to present his non-working magic game.Mrs.Lee looked at him and said，"There's still time.Maybe you can get someone to help you with it.

"If you do use a plastic bottle，fill it up and use it right away，"Tisler adds. "It's best not to store water in them overnight or for long periods of time. "25. What can we learn from the passage？______A. The length of time water is kept in plastics matters.B. Water in new plastic bottles has the most chemicals.C. Drinking hot water in plastic bottles harms people's health.D. Over 3，500 plastic chemicals are found in dishwashed bottles.26. According to the passage，further research is needed to find out ______ .A. whether chemicals actually enter the bodyB. how plastic-related chemicals get into waterC. what risks plastic-related chemicals may causeD. when people should throw away a plastic bottle27. What is this passage mainly about？______A. Improper usage of plastic bottles.B. Various opinions about plastic bottles.C. Unknown chemicals in plastic bottles.D. Research findings about plastic bottles.QWhy do we do the things we do？What drives our behavior？Psychologists have suggested different ways of thinking aboutmotivation （动机），including looking at whether motivation arisesfrom outside （extrinsic）or inside （intrinsic）a person.Researchers have found that each type has a different effect on aperson's behavior and efforts to achieve goals.To better understandthe influence of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation on human behavior，it would help to learn how each type works.Extrinsic motivation is when you are motivated to perform a behavior or take part in an activity because you want to get a reward （奖赏）or avoid punishment.You will take action not because you enjoy it，but because you expect to get something in return or avoid something unpleasant. Intrinsic motivation is when you decide to do something because you find it satisfying.You are performing an activity for what it is not because you are after some external （外部的）reward.The behavior itself is its own reward.Studies have shown that offering too many external rewards for an already internally rewarding behavior can reduce intrinsic motivation—which is known as the over justification （奖励过当）effect.For example，in a 2008 study，children who were rewarded for playing with a toy they had already expressed interest in playing with became less interested in the toy after being externally rewarded.This is not to suggest that extrinsic motivation is a bad thing—it can be beneficial in some situations.For example，extrinsic motivation can be especially helpful when a person needs to complete a task that they find unpleasant.Most people would accept that intrinsic motivation is best，but it is not always possible in every situation.Sometimes a person simply has no internal wish to join in an activity.Both extrinsic and intrinsic motivation play a key role in learning.Experts have argued that education's traditional stress on external rewards （such as grades，report cards，and gold stars）undermines any intrinsic motivation that students might already have.However，others have suggested that extrinsic motivators can help students feel more knowledgeable in the classroom，which in turn builds up their intrinsic motivation.As professor David Myers put it，a person's interest often survives when a reward is used neither tobribe（贿赂）nor to control but to show a job well done，as in a "most improved player" award.Put simply，rewards，rightly given，can increase enjoyment and motivate high performance. Understanding how each type of motivation works and when it is likely to be useful can help people perform tasks and improve their learning.28. You do something out of intrinsic motivation when you ______ .A. do schoolwork to get a good gradeB. work on a subject you find interestingC. take part in a sport to receive recognitionD. clean your room to avoid criticism from your parents29. Why does the writer mention the 2008 study in Paragraph 5？______A. To explain the benefits of offering toys as rewards.B. To prove external rewards can influence one's interest.C. To introduce how intrinsic motivation works in children.D. To stress the importance of understanding intrinsic motivation.30. The word "undermines" in Paragraph 8 means ______ .A. weakensB. separatesC. improvesD. encourages31. The writer probably agrees that ______ .A. extrinsic motivation is key to one's achievementB. intrinsic motivation has little to do with enjoying a taskC. properly-given rewards can encourage further improvementD. offering rewards of any kind takes the fun out of an activity32.Fighting Wildfires through InventionAt the age of 13，Prisha Shroff saw something that made her want tochange the world.She was in the car with her family on the way home，when a big wildfire came in sight and forced them to turn back."I saw it in person，5，she says. "The air pollution was so bad that we were told not to step outside of our car，or outside of our house. "At the same time，Prisha remembered seeing other wildfires on the news.She thought，"This isn't just a small problem，it's a worldwide problem." And she decided to look for a way to help.The opportunity came when she attended her middle-school science fair.For her project，Prisha decided to design a system that could discover and put out ing A.L and satellite imagery （卫星影像），it could know where wildfires would take place and also discover active fires.In 2021，Prisha won the Lemelson Award for Invention，whose goal is to encourage young futurescientists，engineers，and inventors to solve some of the world's biggest challenges. "That was the first big prize that I'd gotten，she says. "It really gave me confidence to find ways to solve big problems，and that I have the ability to make a big difference. "Now 16，Prisha is working hard on her design to help fire stations.It is a drone sent to an active fire to spread retardant （阻燃剂）. " If they discover a wildfire，the drone can fly there，put it out，and come back."Prisha says.Prisha is crazy about creating solutions to not only mitigate（缓解）wildfires，but also the effects of climate change in general. "This is our planet，we should take care of it，"she says.Prisha now runs a special program at her school，and has spoken at the United Nations about the importance of learning certain knowledge and coming up with more inventions to help fight against climate change. To future young inventors，Prisha says the key is to not simply hope something happens，but to actually try hard to make it happen，"You don't need to change the whole world，but you can still change someone's whole world，"she says.(1) What did Prisha see on the way home？______(2) What is the goal of Lemelson Award for Invention______(3) How will Prisha's drone help fire stations______(4) Among Prisha's qualities （品格），which one（s）do you value the most？Why？______ ______ 33. 假如你是李华，你校英语社团公众号计划做主题为"The Most Beautiful Season in Beijing "的系列推送。

She leads cleanups there. She set up a group called Save a Fishie years ago! It has picked up plastic bottles, and other waste.Lately, Prinsloo has noticed another kind of waste: PPE. Face masks (口罩) and gloves are two kinds of PPE. At a cleanup last year, Prinsloo saw eight different kinds of gloves. “I find masks more and more often too,” she said.Lots of people wear PPE. It helps protect against COVID-19. But when PPE isn’t thrown out the right way, it pollutes the environment. At least 8 million tons of plastic enter oceans each year. In September 2020, the Ocean Conservancy held an International Coastal Cleanup. George Leonard is the group’s leader. “Tens of thousands of PPE waste was found, and more of it is being put into oceans. In fact, PPE waste is doing great harm to oceans,” hesaid. PPE waste can hurt ocean animals. They can eat it or get tangled (缠绕) in it. Sue Schwar manages South Essex Wildlife Hospital. It’s in the United Kingdom. Her team saved a seagull. “Its legs got tangled,” she says. Thankfully, the staff were able to untangle the bird. They set it free and watched it fly away.Wear clean re-usable masks. Deal with them carefully before throwing any mask into rubbish bins to make sure they won’t get tangled up. This will protect wild animals greatly. Put used PPE in a bin with a safe lid (盖子) because masks and gloves can be carried away by the wind.12．Why did Prinsloo set up Save a Fishie?A．To clean up the beaches.B．To offer free PPE to people.C．To produce plastic bottles.D．To fight against COVID-19. 13．What has Leonard’s team discovered?A．Ocean animals also need PPE.B．PPE waste is a growing problem.C．Ocean environment depends on PPE.D．PPE can help protect people greatly. 14．What is the last paragraph about?A．Why protect wild animals.B．Where to put rubbish bins.C．How to solve the PPE problem.D．When to wear masks and gloves. 15．Where can you most probably read the text?A．In an accident report.B．In a chemistry textbook.C．In a novel about animals.D．In a magazine about oceans.三、完形填空四、单项选择六、语法填空七、材料作文61．某英语报社正在中学生中开展主题为“做家务劳动”的征文比赛。

I never fully understood that stereotype until two months ago,when I left Canada for a 4-month period in a lab in France. On my first day,Pierre, a Ph.D. student,tapped me on my shoulder and asked："Coffee？" I nodded and followed him to the common room, where other grad students were filing in. I sat there,cautiously sipping the bitter liquid and trying hard not to reveal my uncultured tastes, while lab chatter filled the air.Coffee breaks are a ceremonial part of lab culture here. The chatter sometimes turns to serious scientific topics. But mostly,the meet-ups offer a chance to wind down, to share stories about life inside and outside the lab and to sympathize with people who understand what you're going through.The lighthearted atmosphere and sense of community is a welcome contrast to my life in Canada,where I spent most of my workdays in isolation. I went into the lab each morning with set goals for my day. At lunch,I'd keep my eyes glued to my computer while I fed forkfuls of salad into my mouth,trying to power through my to-do list. For 9 months, I struggled to figure out why I couldn't exactly copy the results of another study. I didn't want to trouble my advisor too much. I was also hesitant to ask my labmates for help.How much we were missing! Researchers need community because good ideas don't just come from reading literature and thinking deep thoughts. It's helpful to bounce ideas off others, and, to have a venue to share the day-to-day ups and downs of life.Would coffee breaks have solved all my problems？Probably not. But I think sharing ideas with my peers would have helped solve my research dilemma. My time in France has taught me that it's important to create space for organic conversations about lab life. A scientist's life can feel isolating,but it's not necessarily so when you're connected to a supportive community.4.How did the author feel when he drank coffee for the first time in France？______A. A little nervous.B. Very happy.C. Somewhat excited.D. Quite curious.5.What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about？______A. Cultural ceremonies in France.B. Various topics of the chatter.C. The benefits of coffee breaks.D. Lab culture in French style.6.What was the author's life like back in Canada？______A. Comfortable and fulfilled.B. Busy and lonely.C. Tense but satisfactory.D. Boring but healthy.7.Why does the author write this passage？______A. To introduce the coffee break in Europe.B. To explain the difference between cultures.C. To recall his personal experience in France.D. To convey the importance of a supportive circle.CA robot with a sense of touch may one day feel pain,both its own physical pain and sympathy for the pain of its human companions. Such touchy-feely robots are still far off, but advances in robotic touch-sensing are bringing that possibility closer to reality.Sensors set in soft,artificial skin that can detect both a gentle touch and a painful strike have been hooked up to a robot that can then signal emotions, Asada reported February 15 at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. This artificial "pain nervous system," as Asada calls it, may be a small building block for a machine that could ultimately experience pain. Such a feeling might also allow a robot to "sympathize" with a human companion's suffering.Asada, an engineer at Osaka University, and his colleagues have designed touch sensors that reliably pick up a range of touches. In a robot system named Affetto, an realistic looking child'shead, these touch and pain signals can be converted to emotional facial expressions.A touch-sensitive, soft material, as opposed to a rigid metal surface,allows richer interactions between a machine and the world, says neuroscientist Kingson Man of the University of Southern California. Artificial skin "allows the possibility of engagement in truly intelligent ways".Such a system, Asada says, might ultimately lead to robots that can recognize the pain of others, a valuable skill for robots designed to help care for people in need, the elderly, for instance. But there is an important distinction between a robot that responds in a predictable way to a painful strike and a robot that's able to compute an internal feeling accurately,says Damasio,a neuroscientist also at the University of Southern California. A robot with sensors that can detect touch and pain is "along the lines of having a robot, for example, that smiles when you talk to it," Damasio says. "It's a device for communication of the machine to a human." While that's an interesting development,"it's not the same thing" as a robot designed to compute some sort of internal experience, he says.8.What do we know about the "pain nervous system"？______A. It is named Affetto by scientists.B. It is a set of complicated sensors.C. It is able to signal different emotions.D. It combines sensors and artificial skin.9.What does the underlined word "converted" in Paragraph 3 probably mean？______A. Delivered.B. Translated.C. Attached.D. Adapted.10.What does Damasio consider as an interesting development？______A. Robots can smile when talked to.B. Robots can talk to human beings.C. Robots can compute internal feelingsD. Robots can detect pains and respond accordingly.11.What can be the best title of the text？______A. Machines Become EmotionalB. Robots Inch to Feeling PainC. Human Feelings Can Be FeltD. New Devices Touch Your HeartDOn a scale of 0 to 10.，I'd say my happiness ranks at about 6. I'm glad to know I'm a 6，because, as a famous management saying puts it,"You can't manage what you don't measure." If youwant to improve an aspect of your life, you need to be able to assess progress toward your goal - and that means measuring it.The goal of this column is to help you manage and improve your happiness. A number of people have asked me whether quantitative happiness measures are really accurate and reliable - and it's a reasonable question. So let's take a look behind the curtain. But not just for intellectual curiosity；as you will see,understanding the measurement of happiness can itself make you better at improving your own well-being - and avoid some critical errors.The best method scientists have to understand with confidence how something affects something else is a randomized, controlled trial. Think of the tests currently under way to find a vaccine for COVID-19. They take a long time because the drug companies with trial vaccines are conducting experiments that randomly assign people to a treatment group they get the vaccine）and a control group（they get a placebo），and then waiting to seif the drug is effective and safe by comparing the two groups after enough time has passed.In the research on happiness,this usually isn't possible. Want to know if people are truly happiest in Denmark, as some studies suggest,and test it with a randomized experiment？You would need to randomly take two groups out of their homes,move one group to Copenhagen, and the other to,say,Dayton,Ohio- but make sure they think it might be Copenhagen and never get the truth. Follow up a few years later to see who is happiest. Obviously, that's ridiculous. So with randomized controlled trials largely not available to them, happiness researchers instead rely on self-reported happiness surveys, where large groups of people anonymously report their levels of life satisfaction. Then, the researchers use fairly complex statistical techniques to mimic（模拟）a controlled experiment in order to show how different aspects of people's lives affect - or at least are associated with - their happiness.12.What does the underlined word "it" in Paragraph 1 probably refer to？______A. An aspect of life.B. One's goal.C. Happiness.D. Progress.13.Why is the test of COVID-19 vaccine mentioned in Paragraph 3？______A. To introduce a latest medical breakthrough.B. To show the difficulty in finding the vaccine.C. To illustrate the process of randomized experiments.D. To prove the impossibility of randomized researches on happiness14.Why is it hard to conduct research on happiness with randomized experiments？______A. The experiment takes a long time.B. It is difficult to analyze the data collected.C. It is impossible to carry out the process strictly.D. The subjects are unwilling to share their feelings15.Where is this text taken from？______A. A magazine.B. A diary.C. A science report.D. A textbook.二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共10.0分）Open a book by any philosopher and you'll probably read that a meaningful life has to involve achieving something difficult. That's because many philosophers are perfectionists when it comes to the meaning of life. It's not just philosophers,either. Perfectionism is one of the main reasons people tend to believe their lives are meaningless. （1）______ .If they aren't doing something absolutely amazing,then life has no meaning.（2）______ .So the conclusion is obvious：most lives are meaningless. Right？Not really. Dig a little deeper,and perfectionism falls apart. Actually you don't need to be a perfectionist about the meaning of life. Life would be fantastic if everything was perfect. But something doesn't need to be perfect to be fantastic.（3）______ .For one,it's pretty inconsistently applied most of the time.People who are perfectionists about the meaning of life often don't apply it to other areas of their lives.（4）______ .For example,perfectionists don't think they're a failure if they don't get a hundred percent on every test. So isn't it also absurd to apply that kind of standard to the meaning of life？It doesn't end there. The demands that perfectionists place on themselves and others are actually really unrealistic. And that means they can only lead to disappointment.（5）______ .It would be similarly odd to call one of your friends a huge failure because he can't achieve as much in a day as Superman. But that's exactly the logic perfectionism applies when it claims that our lives have to be extraordinary in some way to have meaning.A. They see life as all-or-nothing.B. We don't expect a dog to drive a car.C. This leads to lots of double standards.D. You're unlikely to be satisfied with any result.E. And there are actually a few problems with perfectionism.F. However, most of us aren't an Einstein or a Mother Teresa.G. They'd probably dismiss the ideas like that as absurd, in fact.16. A. A B. B C. C D. D E.E F.F G. G17. A. A B. B C. C D. D E.E F.F G. G18. A. A B. B C. C D. D E.E F.F G. G19. A. A B. B C. C D. D E.E F.F G. G20. A. A B. B C. C D. D E.E F.F G.

Why did Mr Mirzan put the swan into his car at first？______A. Because the swan was friendly to him.B. Because the swan was alone in the field.C. To take a ride with the swan together.D. To protect the swan from other animals.22. What does the underlined word" it"refer to in Paragraph 4______A. Mr Mirzan saved the swan.B. Mr Mirzan noticed the swan.C. Mr Mirzan named the swan.D. Mr Mirzan went on a trip with his friends.23. What do we know about Garip？______A. It does jobs on the farm.B. It has walks in the evenings.C. It lives in Mr Mirzan's bedroom.D. It follows dogs and cats everywhere.24. What's the best title for the passage？______A. A Rich Old Man.B. A Poor Wild Swan.C. An Unusual Friendship.D. A Boring Experience.CWhen Chinese people greet each other for the first time，they often ask，"May I know your family name，please？"There is no question that family names are very important to the Chinese.They are closely connected with the Chinese culture and values.In many ways，they hold the key to our understanding of the Chinese family history.Chinese people usually talk about Baijiaxing or Surnames when it comes to Chinese family names.Written in the early Northern Song dynasty，the book recorded 504 common family names in China.But according to the present records，the Chinese have at least 5，662 family names altogether.3，484 of them are single-character family names，and 2，032 are two-character family names.Another 146 arethree-character family names，which are hardly seen today.Chinese family names have a history dating back more than 4，000 years.But the origin（起源）of themis very complex.There is one family name with many origins，as well as several family names with the same origin.Still，there is the name that has changed into many in the course of the developed history. Chinese family names have witnessed （见证）thousands of years of development.They are not just the characters that Chinese people put before their names，but a unique part of the Chinese culture.Experts are now making great efforts for the application（申请）of Chinese family names for the UNESCO program Memory of the World，hoping to introduce the culture behind Chinese family names to the world.25. The first paragraph talks about the ______ of Chinese family names.A. originB. developmentC. importanceD. popularity26. How many Chinese family names do the Chinese have now？______A. About 500.B. About 2，000.C. Less than 3，500.D. More than 5，600.27. What does the underlined word " unique"mean？______A. Common.B. Special.C. Usual.D. Unimportant.28. What's the experts' purpose in putting forward the application program______A. To make Chinese names more popular.B. To introduce a book named Baijiaxing.C. To do a survey on Chinese family names.D. To make Chinese family names well known.DHas anyone ever told you that eating carrots will help you see in the dark？This is just one of many incorrect beliefs you may have heard.Below，we have picked out scientific explanations for three mistakes that people make about their eyes.Let's take a look.Can eating carrots improve your eyesight？Carrots are rich in vitamin A，which helps the eyes to turn light into information for your brain.This allows people to see in darker places.However，eating more carrots won't help you see better.A certain minimum amount will help，but a large number of carrots will not give you superhuman vision.If your parents have bad eyesight，will you have bad eyesight，too？Myopia（近视）can be passed from parents to children.A study by the American OptometricAssociation found that if both parents are myopic，there's a 33 to 60 percent chance that their childwill be.For children who have one parent with myopia，the chance is 23 to 40 percent，and it's down to 6 to 15 percent for kids with non-myopic parents.So if your eyesight is bad，your children might still have good vision.Do color blind people see the world in black and whiteColor blindness doesn't usually mean that people see the world like an old movie.They usually can't tell certain colors apart，especially green and red.Another commonly confused pair of colors is yellow and blue.Our eyes have cone cells（视锥细胞）that sense different wavelengths （波长）of light.If these cells don't work properly，color blindness occurs.There are different levels of color blindness.Some people are only color blind in low light.However，in the most serious form of color blindness，everything is shades of gray.29.
