They had cleaned yards, set tables, and washed dishes. They couldn’t wait to go shopping. I watched as they rushed in the supermarket aisles (过道). At last we headed toward the checkout, pushing a cart filled with food. Then Kristine cried. “Flowers!” The group rushed toward the plants.“You can’t eat flowers.” I responded. “Why not us e the money to buy more food ” “But Mrs Sherlock.” she begged. “we want flowers.”Defeated, I looked at the flowers. Stuck in the middle of the display was a pot of purple flowers. “She’ll like this one,” the children agreed, and put the purple plant into the cart.An agency had given us the address of a needy grandmother. Soon we pulled up in front of a small house. The children hurried to get the food. When Amy put the flowers on the counter, the woman seemed surprised. “Do you like it ” Michael asked. Th e old lady brightened. She told the children about the animals that lived close by.We returned to the car. As we fastened our seat belts, we could see the kitchen window. The woman inside waved goodbye, then turned and walked across the room, straight to the flowers. She put her face in them. When she raised her head, there was a smile on her lips.The children were quiet. In that brief moment, they had seen the power they possessed to make another’s life better.

The three pieces already released were all written with ink, according to the Nanchang Evening News.Based on the analysis by Zhang Yuzheng, an expert at Beijing Union University, the relics may be the oldest original copies of senior official documents in the Han Dynasty (BC 206-AD 220), which have great value for the study of ancient official documents.Among the three publicly released relics, two of them remain fairly intact with exact date information, though the handwriting is partly damaged. Chinese characters meaning “concubine (妾)” and “Haihunhou He” can be seen on the relics, which show that they were written by the Marquis of Haihun Liu He and his concubine.Zhang Yuzheng suggested that according to Haushu, the documents presented to the imperial court should be in two copies, with the original copy submitted to the emperor and the copy to the minister. The minister would first review the contents and then decide whether it was appropriate to be submitted to the emperor. The system was ended during the reign of Emperor Hanxuan in the Han Dynasty. The unearthed relics from Haihunhou tomb are believed to have been written on the fourth year of Yuankang during the reign of Emperor Hanxun when the system was already ended.Therefore, Zhang holds that the unearthed relics written with date information “fourth year of Yuankang” were very likely the original copies of official documents, instead of copies.The whole structure and content are also complete, the handwriting isquite neat, and the format (格式) is strict, consistent with the features of an original copy, according to Zhang.8.What can we know about the three released relicsA. They were official documents by senior officials.B. They proved to be the oldest documents in the Han Dynasty.C. They were recognized as Liu He and his concubine’s handwriting.D. They were publicly released as early as on the fourth year of Yuankang.9.Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word “intact” in paragraph 3A. Complete.B. Meaningful.C. Organized.D. Reliable.10.What does paragraph 4 mainly talk aboutA. The valuable relics kept until today.B. How the relics were presented to the imperial court.C. What information should be included in the official document.D. Something about document presentation system in the Han Dynasty. 11.In which section of a newspaper may this text appearA. Entertainment.B. Sports.C. Health.D. History.Do you use the weekends to catch up on sleep If so, you may want to rethink that. in young adults, using weekends to catch up for lost weekday sleep can cause health risks. The take-home message is basically that you can’t make up for lost sleep by sleeping a few morehours on weekends.Weekends may seem like a great time to catch up on sleep. Scientists, however, weren’t sure that would work. So Christopher Depner and his colleagues decided to test it out. Depner is a sleep physiologist. He works at the University of Colorado, Boulder.The team looked at three groups of people in their mid-20s. For roughly two weeks, each group followed a set sleep schedule. One group slept about eight hours every night. Another group only got about five hours of shut-eye a night. The third group snoozed (打盹) some five hours each weeknight, but could sleep whenever and however much they wanted over the weekend. That last group stayed up until midnight or I am on Friday and Saturday nights. The following mornings, they slept in until sometime between 11 am and noon. But they also stayed up late on Sunday. That left them only about six hours of snooze tine before the next workweek started. Over the whole weekend, these people got only about 1.1 hours more sleep than what their bodies needed, the researchers found.People in the study who got too little sleep every night gained weight. So did the weekend sleep-in crowd. By the end of the experiment, people in both groups had gained an average of 1.5 kilograms.Depner says this could be because losing sleep interferes with hormones that control hunger. Since weekend-catch-up sleepers both woke uplater and went to bed later, they shifted (改变) their bodies’ internal clocks. As a result, they may have gotten hungry later. During the workweeks, both groups ate roughly 400 to 650 calories in late-night snacks.12.Why did the team carry out the researchA. To help promote a healthy lifestyle.B. To find a proper time for sleep on weekends.C. To make improvements for the people who stay up.D. To find out the disadvantages of losing sleep.13.What is Depner’s opinion on sleeping more hours on weekendsA. It can’t make up for the lost sleep.B. People should pay much attention to it.C. More research is needed for the effects.D. It is supposed to benefit those in need of sleep.14.Why did people who got too little sleep every night gin weight easilyA. They ate more than what their bodies needed.B. Their bodies’ internal clocks were shifted.C. They always felt hungry on weekends.D. They had a good appetite on weekdays.15.What message does the author want to convey in the textA. Staying up leads to weight gain.B. Young adults should eat regularly.C. Sleeping in on weekends won’t work.D. Finding new ways to sleepwell is essential.二、七选五16.Studying abroad can be a great opportunity to meet new people and to experience an unfamiliar and exciting culture by yourself.

Although it may be great, it is often a costly experience. ①________ You can have wonderful experience without the financial pressure.Write out a travel budget (预算).②________ Think about the amount of money you will need to spend every week and month for housing food, school supplies, travel, transportation and other living expenses to create a monthly budget that you can follow.Find a job that you can perform remotely.See if you can find a job before you go abroad to ensure a constant flow of income.

Last month, it briefly reached No.3 on the country’s top 50 albums chart (排行榜) —ahead of Taylor Swift.Anthony Albrecht, a PhD student at Charles Darwin University, produced the album with Professor Stephen Garnett. “I knew it was a crazy thing to suggest. But Stephen’s a little bit crazy like me and he let me do it,” Albrecht said.Songs Of Disappearance was published with a university report which found that 1 in 6 Australian bird species are now threatened. The album records 53 of those species.“Some sing what you might think of as bird songs, but not all of them,” said Sean Dooley, who represents the conservation organization Birdlife Australia. “Songs from the golden bowerbird sound like a death cry from some sci-fi series. And the love songs from Christmas Island frigatebird, which has a piece of skin hanging under its mouth that canThere’s also the Christmas Island pigeon. When people hear that pigeon, they might think that it’s a human making silly noises, Dooley added.The Charles Darwin University and Birdlife Australia report does document successes in protecting endangered birds, the hope being that the album will protect more species.“The increased awareness can make a difference,”Dooley said. “When we have a community on board, that brings pressure to the government to do the right thing. We know that these conservation actions do work.”4.Whose album reached No.1 on the chart in December?A. Taylor Swift’s.B. Adele Adkins’.C. Ed Sheeran’s.D.

Helpful.The first wave of concerns over artificial intelligence (AI) in 2023 appeared soon after New Year’s Day when classrooms reopened and schools fro m Seattle to Paris started blocking ChatGPT, a powerful software based on Al large language models, because teenagers were using it to do their homework.The AI large language models behind such products as ChatGPT work by repeatedly guessing the next word in a sentence after having “learned” the rules from a huge amount of human-written works. Although they often get facts wrong, their answers appear so natural that even their inventors begin to worry about their possible use for spreading false information.People became more worried when various AI products started to create not just texts but novel images, music and human voices, which threatened the livelihoods of anyone who writes, draws or sings for a living. It led to strikes by Hollywood writers and actors and legal challenges from artists and bestselling authors. Some of the most respected scientists even warned that the technology’s unchecked progress was possibly threatening human existence.“In the longer term, they might manage our attention,” pioneering AI scientist Fei Fei Lisaid. “They would tell us which video to watch, which book to read or whose communication to respond as AI technology’s abilities improve rapidly. They could be a very good assistant, but also with really big risks.”Li hoped that 2023 is going to be a year for people to think about what AI is, how to use it and what the effects are—all the good, the bad and the ugly.“It’s easy to forget that they are not the first wave of AI products. Computer vision techniques developed by Li and other scientists have helped sort through a huge database of photos to recognize objects and individual faces and guide self-driving cars. Speech recognition advances have made voice assistants like Siri and Alexa a normal thing in many people’s lives,” said Tom Gruber, co-founder of Siri Inc.8.Why did schools try to stop their students from using ChatGPT?A. ChatGPT often got facts wrong in the class.B. Students spent too much time on the software.C. ChatGPT helped students spread false information.D. Students used the software to cheat at their homework.9.What are the second and third paragraphs mainly about?A. AI’s training costs.B. AI’s amazing abilities.C. AI’s possible threats.D. AI’s fast developments.10.What would Tom Gruber most probably suggest people do?A. Think carefully about AI’s impact.B. Welcome AI technology.C. Do use ChatGPT more carefully.D. Upgrade ChatGPT in time.11.Where is the text most probably taken from?A. A news report.B. A guidebook to a software.C. A product review.D. An introduction to a person.A study published Tuesday in the journal Psychonomic Bulletin& Review found that words expressing angry feelings sound ali ke in several unrelated languages. They’re less likely than other words to include the sounds L, R, W or Y. And more friendly versions of such words often have these sounds added. The finding suggests that certain rules may link the world’s languages, no matter how different they are.Ryan McKay, co-author of the paper, happened to discover that some of the English curses (诅咒语) seem to have something in common: They’re often short and include the sounds B, P, T or K. Then Dr. McKay teamed up with his colleague Shiri Lev-Ari to learn whether these rules went beyond English.During the experiment, they asked fluent speakers of Arabic, Korean, German and Spanish to list the worst words they could think of. Once they’d made a list of each language’s most commonly used curses, the researchers compared these with neutral (中性的) words from the same language. To their surprise, the rules still apply.Next, the scientists asked the same people to listen to pairs of invented words, such as “yog” and “tsog” and guess which word in each pair was a curse. The subjects were more likely to guess that words without L, R, W and Y, such as “tsog”, were curses.Finally, the researchers looked through the dictionary for English curses and their cleaned-up versions. Once again, the cleaned-up versions included more of the sounds L, R, W and Y.“Most 20th-century language scientists held that any word could have any meaning,”said Dr. McKay. “With curses, though, the sounds themselves seem to carry meaning. This can shape and change our understanding of how languages are formed.”“It is the first time for researchers to study curses across languages and the finding is very interesting,” said Benjamin Bergen, a language scientist at the University of California,who was not involved in the study. “But it is just another case of what’s called sound symbolism in the language study: A word sounds like what it means.”12.Which word is most probably an uncleaned-up curse according to the text?A. Rucy.B. Buk.C. Yayad.D. Walawala.13.What did the researchers do in their last step?A. Applying their study to more unrelated languages.B. Studying the neutral words and curses side by side.C. Asking people to listen to pairs of non-existing words.D. Comparing English curses with their friendly versions.14.What did Benjamin Bergen mean?A. The study method is really unscientific.B. It will change our understanding in a way.C. It is not a totally new discovery at all.D. The selected languages are too limited.15.What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?A. To introduce a newly published study.B. To prove the unique rules in English.C. To tell another way of memorizing words.D. To show how to use more friendly curses.二、七选五16.Walking might seem simple. “But it’s not,” explains Peggy Cawthon, a professor at Harvard Medical School. “It’s an amazingly complex behavior when we try to understand how to improve our lives as we age.”① ? Here are a few ideas.Don’t stop exercisingCawthon agrees that the worst thing a person can do is to stop exercising. “You’ll feel the effects almost immediately,” says Cawthon. Sitting for hours leaves her uncomfortable, and it’s the days when she types that her arthritis (关节炎) doesn’t cause much pain. ② .Train yourself to walk with skillTo truly improve your walking, you need to think like an athlete. Imagine you want to play tennis, but you have a bad backhand. Playing lots of tennis won’t fix the problem, Cawthon says. ③. It’s the same thing with walking.Give your brain a boost (激励)④. So don’t forget that when working out your fitness plan. Cawth on has been studying an area of the brain related to motivation (动机) and executive function. Subjects with a boost walk more steps on average than the control group, and they have been maintaining that even several months later.⑤______So when should we face the music about our mobility? There is no final answer for when walking problems begin to come up. “You should be as active as you can at any age,”Cawth on says, noting that people who are healthy in their 20s and 30s are best equipped to deal with future age-related challenges. “The best time to start is now. Next best is tomorrow,” she says.A. Start planning nowB. Be in pretty good shapeC. You need to improve your skillD. So what steps should we take to do it rightE.

I’ve lived my whole life in Spanish Harlem,but in my neighborhood, there are shoot-ups all the time. I know kids who have been shot or beaten up. I have friends who ended up in prison. I could have ended up that way, too, but Mr.Clark wouldn’t let that happen.Mr. Clark worked long hours, making sure I did my work. My grades rose. In fact, the scores of our whole class rose. One day, he took our class to see The Phantom of the Opera, and it was the first time some kids had ever been out of Harlem. Before the show, he treated us to dinner at a restaurant and taught us not to talk with our mouths full. We did not want to let him down.Mr. Clark was selected as Disney’s 2000 T eacher of the Year. He said he would draw three names out of a hat (抽签); those students would go with him to Los Angles to get the award. But when the time came to draw names, Mr. Clark said, “You’re all going.”On graduation day, there were a lot of tears. We didn’t want his class to end. In 2001, he moved to Atlanta, but he always kept in touch. He started giving lectures about education, and wrote a best-selling book based on his classroom rules, The Essential 55. In 2003, Mr. Clark took some of us on a trip to South Africa to deliver school supplies and visit orphanages (孤儿院). It was the most amazing experience of my life.

They often accept the opinions or ideas of other people. Other times they begin to act without thinking. They try to find a solution by trial and error. However, when all these methods fail, the person with a problem has to start analyzing. There are six stages in solving a problem.First the person must recognize that there is a problem. For example, Sam’s bicycle is broken,and he cannot ride it to class as he usually does. Sam must see that there is a problem with his bicycle. Next the thinker must define the problem. Before Sam can repair his bicycle, he must find out the reason why it does not work. For instance, he must determine if the problem is with the gears,the brakes, or the frame. He must make his problem more specific.Now the person must look for information that will make the problem clearer and lead to possible solutions. For instance, suppose Sam decides that his bike does not work because there is something wrong with the gear wheels. At this time, he can look in his bicycle repair book and read about gears. He can talk to his friends at the bike shop. He can look at his gears carefully.After studying the problem, the person should have several suggestions for a possible solution.Take Sam as an illustration. His suggestions might be: put oil on the gear wheels; buy new gear wheels and replace the old ones; tighten or loosen the gear wheels.Eventually one suggestion seems to be the solution to the problem. Sometimes the final idea comes very suddenly because the thinker suddenly sees something new or sees something in a new way. Sam, for example, suddenly sees that there is a piece of chewing gum between the gear wheels. He immediately realizes the solution to his problem: he must clean the gear wheels.Finally the solution is tested. Sam cleans the gear wheels and finds that afterwards his bicycle works perfectly. In short, he has solved the problem.31. What is the best title for this passage?A. Six Stages for Repairing Sam’s BicycleB. Possible Ways to Problem-solvingC. Necessities of Problem AnalysisD. Suggestions for Analyzing a Problem32. In analyzing a problem we should do all the following except __________.A. recognize and define the problemB. look for information to make the problem clearerC. have suggestions for a possible solutionD. find a solution by trial or mistake33. By referring to Sam’s broken bicycle, the author intends to _________.A. illustrate the ways to repair his bicycleB. discuss the problems of his bicycleC. tell us how to solve a problemD. show us how to analyze a problem34. Which of the following is NOT true?A. People do not analyze the problem they meet.B. People often accept the opinions or ideas of other people.C. People may learn from their past experience.D. People can not solve some problems they meet.35. As used in the last sentence, the phrase “in short” means _________.A. in the long runB. in detailC. in a wordD. in the end第二节短文七选五(共5 小题;每小题 2 分,满分10 分)We are all called upon to make a speech at some point in life, but most of us don’t do a very good job. 36So, you have to give a speech and you are terrified. You get nervous, you forget what you want to say, you stumble over words, y ou talk too long, and you bore your audience. Later you think, “Thank Goodness, it’s over. I’m just not good at public speaking. I hope I never have to do that again.”Cheer up! 37 Here are some simple steps to take the pain out of speech making. Ask yourself the purpose of your speech. What is the occasion? Why are you speaking? Then, gather as many facts as you can on your subject. Spend plenty of your time doing your research. Then spend plenty of your time organizing your material so that your speech is clear and easy to follow. Use as many examples as possible, and use pictures, charts, and graphs if they help you make your points more clearly. 38 Don’t talk over their heads, and don’t talk down to them. Treat your audience with respect. They will appreciate your thoughtfulness.Just remember: Be prepared. Know your subject, your audience, and the occasion. Be brief. 39 And be yourself. Let your personality come through so that you make person-to-person contact with your audience.If you fol low these simple steps, you will see that you don’t have to be afraid of public speaking. In fact, you may find the experience so enjoyable that you volunteer to make more speeches! You’re not convinced yet? 40A. It doesn’t have to be that bad.B. Take several deep breaths before your speech.C. This article gives some advice on how to give good speech.D. Say what you have to say and then stop.E. Don’t say what you aren’t familiar with.F. Never forget your audience.G. Give it a try and see what happens.第三部分英语知识运用(共三节,满分 5 5 分)第一节完形填空(共20 小题,每小题 1.5 分,满分30 分)阅读下面短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C 和D)中,选出一个最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
