We may feel excited when we have success in a school play. We may feel sorry if we lose an important game. We want to keep the memory for the rest of our lives.How to keep the memory? Our English teacher, Miss Wang, has taught us a good way of remembering things to make our own yearbook. What is a yearbook? A yearbook is a kind of book which is used to keep the memory of exciting moments. It's usually made at the end of the year.Last December, we began to make our yearbook. First we chose the persons who had done something special, then some students interviewed (采访) them, some wrote down their stories, others took photos of them. Everyone in our class had something to do. Finally our teacher helped us to put the things together. We had our first yearbook.All of us put a lot of love into making the yearbook. It is so wonderful that not only the students but also our parents and teachers will remember the special time for ever.( ) 31.We may feel ______if we lose an important game.A. sorryB. happyC. excitedD. interested( ) 32.

Finally______helped us to put the things together.A. our parentsB. our brothersC. our teacherD. our friendsBSoon computers and other machines will be able to remember you by looking at your eyes! The program works because e veryone’s eyes are different. So in the future you won’t have to remember a number when you want to use a machine or take money out of a bank. You’ll just have to look at the machine and it will be able to tell who you are.The eye-recognition(眼睛识别) program is already being tested in shops and banks in the USA, Britain and France. Soon, this technology(技术) will change all other ways of finding out who people are.However, scientists are working on other systems. Machines will soon be able to know you from the shape of your face or hands or even your smell! We already have machines that can tell who you are from your voice or the mark made by your fingers.Eye-recognition is better than other kinds because your eyes don’t change as you get older, or get dirty like hands or fingers. And even twins have different eyes, so the program can be up to 94% correct, depending on(依靠) how good the technology is. Some programs may o nly be right 51% of the time. In Britain, it was found that 91% of people who had tried it said that they liked the idea of eye-recognition.In the future your computer will be looking at you in the eye.So smile!( ) 36.The eye-recognition program has already been tested in in a few countries.A.shops and banksB.libraries and schools.C.banks and schoolsD.hospitals and hotels( ) 37.How does the eye-recognition program work?A.You type a number.B.You look at the machine.C.

Yet no one really understands why flowers open and close like this at particular times. It is not as simple as we might think, as new experiments have shown. In one experiment, flowers were kept in darkness. We might expect that the flowers, without any information about the time of the day, did not open as they usually do. In fact, they continued to open at their usual time. This shows that they have some mysterious (神秘的) way of knowing the time.Their sense of time does not depend on information from the outside world; it is, so to speak, inside them, a kind of “inner clock”. This discovery may not seem to be very important. However, it was later found that not just plants but also animals including man have this “inner clock”which controls working of their bodies and their activities.Human beings, then, are also controlled by this mysterious power. Whether we wish it or not, it affects such things in our life as our need for sleep, our need for food. And our ability to concentrate(集中).( ) 41.One experiment was done for finding out .A.when different flowers open and closeB.if flowers have a mysterious way of knowing the timeC.how flowers are used to tell the time in the darknessD.why flowers open and close at particular time( ) 42.Before the experiment arrived at a conclusion, people had thought that the flowers .A.would never open in darknessB.would change their usual time to openC.would continue to open at their usual timeD.would open earlier than the usual time( ) 43.That flowers have the sense of time is related to .A.sunlightB.weak lightC.the “inner clock”D.the information from the outside world( ) 44.From the passage, we know that don’t have mysterious power inside.A.wild animalsB.human beingsC.all creatures(生物)D.lifeless things( ) 45.We may know that if we make good use of the ‘inner clock’, .A.we will have more strength to do our work.B.clocks or watches are no longer useful to usC.we will be able to live as long as we wish toD.human beings will need less sleep, less food or less m ovementIV. 任务型阅读(10分)When people want to find something on the Internet, they of ten say,“Let’s Google it!”It means “Let’s search for it on the Internet!”It all began in the summer of 1995, Larry Page, 24, and Sergey Brin, 23, met at Stanford University. In their project, the two students came up with a plan to make a new search engine(引擎). They founded(成立)Google a year later. It became a company on September 7,1998.Google is not the first search engine, but it is certainly the most successful. Google’s worldwide market share(市场占有率)was as high as 82.8 percent last year, according to Marketshare. .Before Google,search engines ranked (排名) websites simply by how many times the webpage has been visited. Page and Bin used a completely different way, by the number of other websitesthat linked(链接) to that site. Google helps people find the most important site that connects to their key words.As popular as Google in the English world, in China, Baidu is the most popular and biggest search engine. It held a market share of nearl y 80 percent for web search in 2012.Baidu was started in 2000 by Li Yanhong and Xu Yong. It offers searches for website, audio, images...It also provides the largest online Chinese encyclopedia(百科全书)，Baidu Baike.46题为判断正误(“T”表示正确，“F”表示错误);47题完成句子;48题简略回答问题;49题找出下面句子的同义句;50题将文中画线句子译成汉语。

But as a friend of yours, I don't think you should be unhappy.I know that your family is not rich, so your parents can't afford to buy you clothes of famous brands, which makes you unhappy. Although we don't have much money, we can have a good mood every day. Many rich people have too much money, but they often feel bored and lonely. Your parents have sent you to school so that you can receive good education and have a bright future. This is not easy for your parents. So you should thank them. Don't ask for something that is out of your parents' reach. Don't be vain-glorious（虚荣的）.I also think you should put your heart into study. Read more books and you can get a lot from reading. Without the famous brand competition, you will become happy.So you should decide not to feel so sorry and sad. You should smile and think you are luckier in life.I hope my advice will be helpful to you. Wish you happiness!Yours,Zhang Man 21．Zi Lin cares about ________ very much. .A. wearingB. studyingC. workingD. eating 22．“Something” that is out of your parents' reach is the thing that ________.A. your parents can't affordB. your parents can't reachC. your parents can't makeD. your parents don't like23．According to this letter, a good way to help Zi Lin is to ________.A. make moneyB. rest moreC. study hard.D. compete for thingsPeople read books less often these days. With the invention of the Internet and computer games, and most recently, smart phones, it seems that reading books is no longer a popular activity. However, I believe that books are an important part of our lives.Books offer an outstanding wealth（财富）of learning and at a cheaper price than taking a course.Books can make people cleverer because heavy readers have greater knowledge of how things work and who or what people were.Everything in today's society needs to be read. Imagine trying to do something simple, for example, read the instructions（说明）on a medicine bottle. If someone could not understand that, he or she will become very sick or even die.Some people say that reading is a waste of time and that we can do better things with our time. Even if we don't read books, we still read lots of information every day, and reading books can strengthen our abilities. Reading is one of the greatest things we can do in our spare time.With a book, you can travel anywhere you want, do anything you want, and talk to anyone you want. Reading is very important in our lives, no matter what your age is. So I think people should read books.24．People read books less often these days because ________.A. reading books is a popular activityB. people have known all the knowledgeC. books aren't an important part of our livesD. of the invention of the Internet and computer games, and smart phones25．According to the passage, we can read books in our ________.A. spare timeB. working timeC. dining timeD. sleeping time 26．What can we learn from the passage?A.

People read books more often these days.The winter holiday is on the way! Spend time on your computers or on your mobile phones? Stay at home and watch TV?

Chess club can help improve your creativity and problem-solving ability.In July, 202l, China introduced the “double reduction” policy（“双减”政策）. It hopes to reduce students' learning burden（负担）by reducing homework and after-school classes. How do students feel about this new policy?“Our homework is clearly less than before,” said 13-year-old Shen Yuzhe from Beijing. According to Shen, teachers now teach at a much slower pace（节奏）. Students have enough time to process（处理）new knowledge. “Our teachers are also giving us more chances to do experiments and learn from real life,” said Shen.“For example, we went to research earthworms （蚯蚓）in a field during a biology class. This is a much better way to learn things than just hitting the books.”For 13-year-old Zhang Hangming from Tianjin, the best thing about “double reduction” is the increased time in after-school activities. “We can now spend more time taking part in clubs and activities. I have joined a group called 'leadership development in business' where I can learn all kinds of skills beyond academic（学业的）study,” said Zhang.Both Shen and Zhang find there are fewer exams now. But they think it's not necessarilyweak points,” Zhang said.Shen also pointed out that when burden is lightened（减轻）, self-discipline（自律）becomes the key. “Some students now spend more time having fun when homework is finished early. But if you use all the free time to relax, you might fall behi nd others,” he said. 31．The first paragraph mainly talk about ______.A. the result of “double reduction” policyB. the future of “double reduction” policyC. the difficulty of “double reduction” policyD. the introduction of “double reduction” policy32．What does Shen Yuzhe think about the new way of learning?A. He doesn't enjoy it.B. He thinks it is very good.C. He is not sure about it.D. He thinks it old-fashioned（过时）. 33．The underlined word “force” has the most similar meaning to ______.A. teachB. helpC. driveD. ask34．We know Zhang Hangming ______.A. does well in playing volleyballB. wants to join the drama clubC. is younger than Shen YuzheD. is interested in business35．According to Shen Yuzhe, someone who ______ may fall behindA. is weak in self-disciplineB. makes use of his free timeC. finishes homework on timeD. spends less time on having funSome people believe parents play a very important role in their children's education, but they will be replaced by the teachers after children go to school. However, I believe parents are always the best teachers no matter how much knowledge children have learned from school. Here are my ideas.First, children always imitate（模仿）their parents from birth, so the parents' influence on children is great. For example, researchers said that parents' expression could influence the growth of their children's character. If parents always watch their children while they are playing, the children's confidence will be greater than other children whose parents always leave them alone at home.Second, parents are also the best teachers for children in emotional （情感的）area. For example, if a child feels upset in school, he doesn't always talk to his teacher. At this time; parents can help him and the children are also willing to tell their feelings to their parents.Third, although children get much knowledge from the teachers, basic skills in their whole life are from their parents. For example, our basic language skills, basic reasoning skills and even basic sports skills are all learned from parents. Because of these basic skills from parents, the influence of parents will follow the children's whole life.In a word, the parents' influence on children's education is greater than any teacher in school. They are the best teachers.36．According to the writer, the best teachers are __________.37．In the writer's opinion, the parents' influence on children's education is _________ than any teacher in school.38．What can influence the growth of the children's character according to what researchers said?39．Who do the children learn their basic skills from, their teachers or their parents?40．Do you think your parents play a important role in your education? Why or why not?四、填空题41．In China, people often talk ①________ “Shuxiang”, ②________ （especial）during the Spring Festival. . Images（形象）of the 12 Chinese “Shuxiang” animals are fun for everyone. The rabbit is in the ③________（four）place.The rabbit is ④________ symbol （象征）of kindness and a love of beauty in Chinese culture. People born in the Year of Rabbit are usually ⑤________（peace）and quick-minded. Although they are sometimes shy, they have a strong mind and will try their best ⑥________（make）their dreams come true. It is said that rabbit people are much ⑦________（wise）than other people and love taking part in artistic activities.2023 is a “rabbit year”. Rabbits become more popular. You can see ⑧________（they）across the world. As a cultural image, the rabbit has been in different forms of art, including ⑨________（stamp）, colourful lights and so on. Through the rabbit, people from other countries can get a closer look into Chinese culture. In January, 2023, an exhibition （展览） about rabbits ⑩________（hold）in the US.五、连词成句42．to, uncle's, I, my, went, farm____________________________________.43．great, everything, was, really____________________________________.44．fed, we, baby, some, pigs____________________________________.45．cute, were, how, they____________________________________!46．interesting, did, anything, you, do____________________________________?六、写作题47．为了传承和弘扬中华民族的优良家风，学校英文社团开展主题为“孝亲敬长”的英语征文比赛。
