It's fun to come home. It looks the same. It smells the same. You'll realize what's changed is you. Home is where we can remember pain, love，and some other experiences: We parted here; My parents met here; I won three championships here.If I close my eyes, I can still have a clear picture in mind of my first home. I walk in the door and see a brown sofa surrounding a low glass­top wooden table. To the right of the living room is my first bedroom. It's empty, but it's where my earliest memories are.There is the dining room table where I celebrated birthdays，and where I cried on Halloween—when I didn't want to wear the skirt my mother made for me. I always liked standing on that table because it made me feel tall and strong. If I sit at this table，I can see my favorite room in the house，my parents' room. It is simple：a brown wooden dresser lines the right side of the wall next toa television and a couple of photos of my grandparents on each side. Their bed is my safe zone. I can jump on it anytime—waking up my parents if I am scared or if I have an important announcement that cannot wait until the morning.I'm lucky because I know my first home still exists. It exists in my mind and heart，on a physical property(住宅) on West 64th street on the western edge of Los Angeles. It is proof I lived, I grew，and I learned.Sometimes when I feel lost, I lie down and shut my eyes, and I go home. I know it's where I'll find my family, my dogs, and my belongings. I purposely leave the window open at night because I know I'll be blamed by Mom. But I don't mind, because I want to hear her say my name, which reminds me I'm home.31．Why does the author call her parents' bed her “safe zone” (Paragraph 3) ?A．It is her favorite place to play.B．Her needs can be satisfied there.C．Her grandparents' photos are lined on each side.D．Her parents always play together with her there.32．What can be learned from the passage?A．The old furniture is still in the author's first bedroom.B．The author can still visit her first physical home in Los Angeles.C．The author's favorite room in her first home is the dining room.D．Many people of the author's age can still find their first physical homes.33．Sometimes when she feels lost, the author will________.A．open the window at nightB．lie down in bed to have a dreamC．try to bring back a sense of homeD．go to Los Angeles to visit her mom34．What is the author's purpose of writing this passage?A．To express how much she is attached to her home.B．To declare how much she loves her first house.C．To describe the state of her family.D．To look back on her childhood.BFarmers are being told more needs to be done to stop them injuring at work.One in five British workplace deaths happens in agriculture even though farmers are only a small part of the working population.During the year 2020/11 there were 1,061 injuries in total and it is thought many more go unreported.Jim Chapman from Warwickshire had his arm torn off by farm machinery seven years ago when he was 23.“You don't realize how much you rely on your second arm until it's gone，”he said.He fell against a PTO shaft(传动轴)，a spinning metal bar at the back of a tractor.“It catapulted(猛力掷出) me from one side of the machine to the other，”he said.“I landed on the floor，minus all my clothing.My left arm had been ripped off.”He admits that the machinery was missing part of its proper safety guard.“But again，”he added，“it was a rushed day.There were a few machines that didn't work.Also，I was getting behind with the jobs.”Over the last 10 years，other industries that you'd think of as dangerous，like building or quarrying(矿采)，have lowered the number of workplace deaths and injuries.In the farming industry though，deaths remain high with 34 deaths in 2020/11.Judith Hackitt，the chair of the Health and Safety Executive(HSE) says it is “not acceptable” that the accident statistics for farming are still high.“People in farming don't have minor(较小的) injuries.When they get injured，it's bad.”she said.“When I said to the National Farmers' Union(NFU) that if I had sons I would not want them to work in agriculture，it really made them sit up and take notice.”There's a whole host of reasons why farming is as dangerous as it is.It is a very rough industry.Also，it's often because people are left alone.They could be young and inexperienced，or older people，who would have retired maybe 5 or 10 years ago in other industries.Jim wants others to learn from his experience.“Look at what you're doing before you go running in，”he said.“You could make a mistake that you'll live with for the rest of your life.”35．Jim Chapman was injured in the workplace mainly because ________.A．he crossed the machineryB．the safety guard of the machinery was goneC．he was standing at the back of the tractorD．he didn't notice the PTO shaft36．In British farming industry，________.A．farmers take up a large part of working populationB．the number of injuries is bigger than what the public knowC．old machinery was not replaced in timeD．being a farmer is the most dangerous37．Judith thought ________ were (was) not acceptable.A．the injuries of farmersB．the high deaths for farmingC．her son's hope to work in agricultureD．farmers' retiring 5 or 10 years later38．From the whole text，we can see that Jim feels ________.A．regretful B．angryC．shocked D．confusedCOur culture has caused most Americans to assume not only that our language is universal but that the gestures we use are understood by everyone.We do not realize that waving goodbye is the way to summon a person from the Philippines to one's side，or that in Italy and some Latin­American countries，curling the finger to oneself is a sign of farewell.Those private citizens who sent packages to our troops occupying Germany after World War Ⅱ and marked them GIFT to escape duty payments did not bother to find out that“Gift” means poison in German.Moreover，we like to think of ourselves as friendly，yet we prefer to be at least 3 feet or an arm's length away from tins and Middle Easterners like to come closer and touch，which makes Americans uncomfortable.Our linguistic(语言的)and cultural blindness and the casualness with which we take notice of the developed tastes，gestures，customs and languages of other countries，are losing our friends，businessand respect in the world.Even here in the United States，we make few concessions(妥协) to the needs of foreign visitors.There are no information signs in four languages on our public buildings or monuments；we do not have multilingual (多语的) guided tours.Very few restaurant menus have translations，and multilingual waiters，bank clerks and policemen are rare.Our transportation systems have maps in English only and often we ourselves have difficulty understanding them.When we go abroad，we tend to stay in hotels and restaurants where English is spoken.The attitudes and information we pick up are conditioned by those natives—usually the richer—who speak English.Our business dealings，as well as the nation's diplomacy (外交)，are conducted through interpreters.For many years，America and Americans could get by with cultural blindness and linguistic ignorance.After all，America was the most powerful country of the free world，the distributor(分发者)of needed funds and goods.But all that is past.American dollars no longer buy all good things，and we are slowly beginning to realize that our proper role in the world is changing.A 1979 Harris poll reported that 55 percent of Americans want this country to play a more significant role in world affairs; we want to have a hand in the important decisions of the next century，even though it may not always be the upper hand.39．It can be inferred that Americans being approached too closely by Middle Easterners would most probably________.A．stand still B．jump asideC．step forward D．draw back40．In countries other than their own，most Americans ________.A．are isolated by the local peopleB．are not well informed due to the language barrierC．tend to get along well with the nativesD．need interpreters in hotels and restaurants41．According to the author，Americans' cultural blindness and linguistic ignorance will________.A．affect their image in the new eraB．cut themselves off from the outside worldC．limit their role in world affairsD．weaken the position of the US dollar42．The author intends to make Americans realize that it is ________.A．dangerous to ignore their foreign friendsB．important to maintain their leading role in world affairsC．necessary to use several languages in public placesD．time to get familiar with other culturesDWe're in the middle of winter.It's cold and we're suffering from cold wind and rain.The sun，even when it does show its face，is setting at 4 p．m.It's no wonder people in the street look sad.But according to most of the research on the connection between weather and mood(情绪)，they shouldn't be.Weather has little effect on mood.When you tell people this，though，they don't believe it.Most of us think the weather has quite a strong effect on our mood.Many think that the rain and cold weather dejects us and the sun and warmth cheers us up.So why don't we see this effect in the research？That's the question a new study by Klimstra et al.tries to answer with a group of young people and their mothers.In fact，Klimstra et al.found four different groups：1．Unaffected：about half the people in their study fell into this group.For these people it didn't matter that much whether it was raining or sunny，hot or cold，their mood was mostly unaffected.2．Summer lovers：here's the group you'd expect.For these people，their mood improved with less rain，more sun and higher temperatures(15% of young people and 30% of their mothers)．3．Summer haters：here's the group of people you hear less about.These were the exact opposite of the summer lovers so they were happier when there was more rain，less sun and lower temperatures (27% of the young people and 12% of their mothers)．4．Rain haters：this group's mood didn't change with the temperature，sunshine or the wind；they just hated the rain(8% of young people and 12% of their mothers)．This helps explain why studies keep finding that weather doesn't have much effect on mood：it's because we're different and these differences are mostly being averaged out.43. It's found in the study that ________.A．weather has a strong effect on moodB．cold wind and rain makes us look sadC．the sun and warmth cheers us upD．mood is little affected by weather44. In which group people like dry and hot weather?A．Unaffected. B．Summer lovers.C．Summer haters. D．Rain haters.45．From the four different groups we can learn ________.A．about half the people belong to summer loversB．more than one third of the people are summer hatersC．few of young people and their mothers like the rainD．more young people are unaffected than rain haters46．What is the BEST title for the passage?A．Does the weather really affect your mood?B．Why do people feel sad in cold winter?C．How many different groups are there?D．Do different people have different mood?E(2021·重庆高考)It is widely known that any English conversation begins with The Weather. Such a fixation with the weather finds expression in Dr. Johnson's famous comment that “When two English meet, their first talk is of weather.” Though Johnson's observation is as accurate now as it was over two hundred years ago, most commentators fail to come up with a convincing explanation for this English weather­speak.Bill Bryson, for example, concludes that, as the English weather is not at all exciting, the obsession with it can hardly be understood. He argues t hat “To an outsider, the most striking thing about theEnglish weather is that there is not very much of it.” Simply, the reason is that the unusual and unpredictable weather is almost unknown in the British Isles.Jeremy Paxman, however, disagrees with Bryson, arguing that the English weather is by nature attractive. Bryson is wrong, he says, because the English preference for the weather has nothing to do with the natural phenomena. “The interest is less in the phenomena themselves, but in uncertainty.” According to him, the weather in England is very changeable and uncertain and it attracts the English as well as the outsider.Bryson and Paxman stand for common misconceptions about the weather­speak among the English. Both commentators, somehow, are missing the point. The English weather conversation is not really about the weather at all. English weather­speak is a system of signs, which is developed to help the speakers overcome the natural reserve and actually talk to each other. Everyone knows conversa tions starting with weather­speak are not requests for weather data. Rather, they are routine greetings, conversation starters or the blank “fillers”. In other words, English weather­speak is a means of social bonding.47．The author mentions Dr. Johnson's comment to show that________.A．most commentators agree with Dr. JohnsonB．Dr. Johnson is famous for his weather observationC．the comment was accurate two hundred years agoD．English conversations usually start with the weather48．What does the underlined word “obsession” most probably refer to?A．A social trend.B．An emotional state.C．A historical concept.D．An unknown phenomenon.49．According to the passage，Jeremy Paxman believes that________.A．Bill Bryson has little knowledge of the weatherB．there is nothing special about the English weatherC．the English weather attracts people to the British IslesD．English people talk about the weather for its uncertainty50．What is the author's main purpose of writing the passage?A．To explain what English weather­speak is about.B．To analyse misconceptions about the English weather.C．To find fault with both Bill Bryson and Jeremy Paxman.D．To convince people that the English weather is changeable.Ⅳ.完成句子(共10小题；每题2分，总分值20分)51．An idea occured to me ________________ to finish the task.(team)我突然想到了一个主意，我能够找一个同窗来完成这项任务。

Besides,his ability to capture the beauty of nature and the human experience resonates deeply with readers worldwide.His timeless verses of profound imagery and emotion have left a long-lasting mark on literature.In essence,Li Bai’s poetry serves as a timeless reminder,continuing to inspire generations of readers,including myself.His poems have taught me to appreciate the fleeting moments of beauty,explore my own creativity,and express my feelings through writing.第二节One possible version:I took the paper off and opened the beautiful box slowly.Inside,I found a treasure trove of memories waiting to be unwrapped.It was a collection of letters, each tied with a ribbon,and labeled with a date.As I carefully untied the first letter and began to read,tears welled up in my eyes.The letters were from my mother,written during her time in the hospital.They were filled with words of encouragement, love,and wisdom.It was as if she was right there beside me,guiding me through life’s challenges.Then one night,right after my first birthday without Mama,I opened the birthday box again.The letters had become my source of strength,and I revisited them whenever I needed guidance.Mama’s words had a timeless quality,offering comfort and support even in her absence.I realized that her love was a gift that would always be with me,and her unwavering belief in me had become my guiding star.As I carefully placed the letters back in the box,I knew that Mama's legacy would live on through me,in the stories I wrote with the fountain pen and the moments I recorded in the diary.The birthday box was more than just a collection of gifts;it was a testament to the enduring power of a mother’s love,a love that would stay with me throughout my life's journey.One possible version:I took the paper off and opened the beautiful box slowly.It was empty.Is this a joke?I turned and looked at Mama then,and her eyes were open again.Her eyes, which had been a deep,brilliant blue,were now like the fall sky,bleached and softened.She smiled a very small smile at me.I knew it was an effort.“It’s you,”she mouthed.I read her lips.Before I could ask more about what that meant,Mom was gone.I mean,her body was there,but she wasn’t.It was as if she was as empty as the box.I cried steadily for a night,a week,a couple of months,and for about a year.I felt empty,angry,and so alone.Then one night,right after my first birthday without Mama,I opened the birthday box again.It was as empty as the day I had put it away.“It’s you,”I whispered to the box.And then suddenly I knew.Mama had meant I was the box, solid and sturdy,maybe even beautiful or at least interesting on the outside.But I had to fill up the box to make it all it could be.And I had to fill me up as well.I stopped crying,picked up a pen,began writing,and haven't stopped since.The first thing I wrote was about that birthday.I put it in the box,and pretty soon that box was overflowing with stories.And poems.And memories.And so was I.附：听力稿Question1【原文】M:Right,we need to get this place tidy before Mom gets home or she will go crazy.You wash the dishes and I will clean the floor.W:OK.You’d better wipe the table as well.Question2【原文】M:Why didn’t we discuss the new order at our last meeting?W:It was too late to discuss it at the December meeting.I’ve carried it forward to the January meeting.M:OK,so we should have a decision in time for the February meeting. Question3【原文】M:Eek,you are blinding me.Turn that light away.W:Sorry,I forgot how powerful it is.M:It’s OK.It was just a shock,stepping out of darkness into that.Question4【原文】W:How much further do we have to walk?I thought we would be at the top by now.M:What’s the matter?Haven’t all those gym sessions strengthened your legs?Come on,we’ll be back home in no time.Question5【原文】W:Mark took me to the botanical garden over the weekend.All the plants were very pretty and colorful.They inspired me to paint later that day.M:I went there last month,but it was so busy that I couldn’t enjoy it.Question6-7【原文】W:Good morning,William.I wanted to wish you a happy Lunar New Year. What time is it there?M:Thanks,Mom.It’s9:00a,m.I wish I could be there to join the family celebration. W:Well,we still have some lucky money for you.Can I send it on WeChat?M:That’s inconvenient to use that here.Can you send it to my US account?W:I’d love to give you a red envelope as usual,but that’ll work,instead.M:Thanks,Mom.I still have school these weeks.Unfortunately,I won’t have much time off.W:I’m sorry.We’ll call you from your grandma’s house when we get there! Question8-10【原文】W:Did you know it is more common for young people to take taxis and public transportation than to own a car.M:I saw that this morning in the newspaper as well.W:I guess it’s because income levels have really dropped since the last decade.Can you imagine taking a bus everywhere?M:Traffic has gotten so bad in the city.Since last year,it’s been nearly impossible to park anywhere.That must have led to the fact that nobody is buying cars.Also,people can order taxis on their phones now—it’s so convenient.W:But when you are driving,you feel so free.There are so many places a bus can’t take you to.M:Well,I haven’t had a car for six months till now and have never looked back. Getting around has not gotten any harder,either by bus or taxi.W:Don’t you have to wait a long time when getting a taxi?M:No way.These days they come so fast.The last time I had to wait more than10 minutes was over a month ago.Question11-13【原文】M:So,Lisa,what makes you believe that you’re the best person for the job? W:Well,I have five years of experience in a similar position at another company. M:And why is it you are looking to leave that company?W:Well,the pay is better,but I’m looking for a place where I can grow.M:And you think that is with us?W:Yes.One of my friends works for you.She told me about the role.She’s always talking about how the company supports her in learning new skills and pushing her to advance.M:We do have a skills training school and we expect our employees to try and better themselves.W:Well,I’m definitely eager to learn.M:We also offer flexible working hours if that suits.W:It would.We have two girls aged three and four.M:Lovely.We like to think of ourselves as a family,so as long as you do the work, we’re happy for you to set your own schedule.W:That sounds perfect,Question14-17【原文】M:Hi.My roommate wants to get a dog but I have never owned one before.Where can I learn how to take care of a dog?W:You might try volunteering at a local animal shelter.M:Oh?How will that help me?W:It will teach you how to properly feed,exercise and clean up after a dog.You get to work with abandoned animals,helping them become used to human beings so they can find new homes.M:Is working at a shelter expensive?W:No,other than maybe buying some clothes you can get dirty.Cleaning-up can be messy and smelly.M:What is the best part about working at a shelter from your experience?W:You get to interact with dogs and cats,while cleaning their cages.You get to give them love and attention,and they will give you far more of both than you give them. M:Is there anything you regret about volunteering at a shelter?W:Only that I am unable to adopt every animal.I learned a lot and enjoyed it.M:Thank you for the advice.I will look into helping a shelter near me.Question18-20【原文】If you’re anything like me,then your favorite foods are the sweet ones.Butdo you know that these foods have a culture as rich as their tastes?In ancient civilizations,sweets were special because they were only given to the most important people.Dried fruits and honey were among the first things used to sweeten meals.The sweet foods were not able to spread around until the“sugarcane”began to be developed in India.Once people found a way to transport sugar easily,they were able to bring it to other countries.Macedonia received this type of sugar in300BC,and then over1000years later,it spread to China.It wasn’t until the12th century that its uses spread to Europe.However,even after sugar became well-known,it was still too expensive for most people to buy on special occasions.Some of the desserts that we still eat and love today were designed hundreds of years ago.The first recorded recipe of an apple pie was published in1381.The first cupcake recipe happened nearly450 years later.Due to the expensive materials needed to cook desserts,most people didn’t try to experiment with new techniques.In the present,open trade and access to information and resources has brought us the world’s knowledge of desserts.Sweet foods,candies and desserts can be found almost anywhere.。

选择性必修第三册Unit2Ⅰ.阅读理解A(湖北宜昌一模)A study confirmed that the cracks found on Mars’s surface last year by the Curiosity Rover are evidence of ancient lakes that likely dried up about 3.5 billion years ago.The new study provides further evidence of what the climate on the Red Planet may have been like in its ancient past.The study,published online in Geology,proved that cracks on Mars’s surface previously photographed by Curiosity are dry mud cracks which could have only been formed when wet ground was exposed to the air.This conclusion was based on an analysis of a single area of rock known as “Old Soaker”.Researchers used the Curiosity Rover and information from its many tools including the Mars Hand Lens Imager,ChemCamLaser-Induced Breakdown Spectrometer (LIBS) and the Alpha Particleeter (APXS) to study both the physical appearance and the chemistry of the rock,which is described as no bigger than a coffee table.The analysis showed that cracks on the rocks were formed by exposure to air,rather than heat or the flow of water.In addition,the shape of the cracks suggests it experienced a single drying event on the planet,rather than getting wet and drying over repeatedly.The position of the cracks,closer to the center of the ancient lake rather than alongside it,also suggests that the lake levels changed often,rising and falling over time.“The mud cracks are exciting because they help us to understand this ancient lake system,” lead study author Nathaniel Stein,a geologist at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena,said,referring to the ancient lake system on the planet.Scientists have known of the ears for years.A NASA study that measured water in Mars’s atmosphere suggested that ancient oceans may once have had more water than our own ArcticOcean.However,because the planet has less gravity and a thinneratmosphere than Earth,this water evaporated(蒸发) into space over the course of several billion years.1.What is the Curiosity Rover?A.An organization.B.A scientist.C.A planet.D.A machine.2.What do we know about the discovery on Mars?A.The cracks are near the center of an ancient lake.B.Mars was getting wet and drying more than once.C.The lake level on Mars seldom changes over time.D.The cracks on the rocks were formed by water flow.3.What can we infer from the last paragraph?A.Ancient water still ears now.B.The gravity on Mars is stronger than that on Earth.C.The atmosphere on Earth is thicker than that on Mars.D.The ancient Arctic Ocean had more water than it has now.4.What is the tears. B.A trip to Mars.C.A study on Mars.D.Cracks on Mars.B(原创预测题)If you’re one of those people that needs your phone or device in bed with you when you’re asleep,you might want to readon.That’s because doing this could be really dangerous,in that it could set your entire bed on fire.It’s a warning that has been issued specifically for children who got new tablets for Christmas but extends to anyone who places a device (on charger) somewhere flammable(易燃的) during the night.Pictures,that were shared by the Australian Fire Department,show exactly how dangerous charging on a flammable surface can be.They show the end of a charger which seems to have had all its protective coating melted away.From there,it has started to the bed sheet and another cover,giving an insight into the damage that can be done if left.The post has been shared by CPR Kids,a page dedicated to CPR and First Aid education.Alongside the pictures,they wrote:“Did your children receive a tablet or phone for Christmas?Make sure thatthey never charge electronics in bed—teach them to follow manufacturers’(制造商) guidelines.Charge on a flat surface with no flammable materials around,make sure there are no foreign objects in the connector or plug,and avoid cheapaccessories.Also,it is important to check that cords(电源线) are always in good condition and throw away any cords that show signs of wear and tear.Damaged cords and charging in unsafe conditions can pose a fire risk! And always keep cords out of reach of little ones.”Tagging people in the comments,one Meta user wrote:“This is why I tell you to remove the power board from your bed!” Sharing their own eeone else commented:“We once charged our phone on a book on our desk.The phone heated up so much that the book caught fire.Smoke hadn’t gotten to the smoke detector yet.”5.Who is the passage probably written for?A.Photographers who share pictures.B.Anyone who sets the entire bed on fire.C.Children who got new tablets for Christmas.D.People who charge devices somewhere flammable.6.What happened to the charger in the pictures?A.It was moved from the flammable surface.B.Its protective coating was burned out.C.The bed sheet was taken far away from it.D.The Australian Fire Department liked it.7.What does CPR Kids suggest people doing?A.Never buying children tablets.B.Charging electronics in bed.C.Choosing cheap accessories.D.Throwing away damaged cords.8.What did people think of the post?A.It was ridiculous.B.It was unnecessary.C.It was funny.D.It was helpful.Ⅱ.七选五(浙江名校联盟第三次联考)Agriculture has come a long way from its ancient beginnings.Long ago,farmers would work hard on their individualplots of land,using simple tools or even their bare hands.They tended to their crops for many hours each day so that the crops grew well. 1 For e could destroy a whole year’s work,while a summer of good weather could ensure a good harvest.Modern science and technology have helped to greatly reduce the back-breaking labour involved in farming,along with the reliance on luck and guesswork. 2Probably one of the most beneficial innovations is drip irrigation,which has made it possible to develop big,green farms in the middle of the desert.Simcha Blass,an Israeliscientist,discovered this new way of irrigation in the1930s.Through this discovery,farmers can now produce crops on dry land without needing much water. 3 The limited and focused use of just the right amount of water also denies moisture (水分) to weeds,keeping them from harming the crops.4 However,what if an area has plenty of water,but little usable soil?As it turns out,it is possible to grow plants without using soil at all.With hydroponics (水培),plant roots are supportedby rocks or a fiber mat.Nutrient-rich water is then provided so that the plants can grow.Recent research has centered on vertical hydroponics farming.With a vertical farm,the crops are planted in containers that are piled into plant skyscrapers. 5 With such technological advances,the image of a farmer pushing a plough will eventually become a thing of the past.A.Luck played a great part in farming.B.Some areas would be too dry to grow crops.C.Drip irrigation deals with a lack of water in an area.D.There have been eake drip irrigation a reality.E.This irrigation method uses far less water than other methods.F.Furthermore,nearly all hydroponic farms partially or fully automated.G.Farmers have benefited greatly from innovations in crop production.Ⅲ.语法填空(河南豫南省级示范高中联盟模拟)So rapidly does the technology develop that no one can predict what may happen tomorrow.The number of 5G users in China has reached 20 percent,which leaves the people in the world 1.(amaze).In China,operators are quick to provide continuous nationwide coverage,2.(ensure) users a consistent experience.They also offer flexible service packages,which delivers a beneficial result for both users and 3.(they).High-quality 5G networks 4.
