Lately, I have been stressed out a lot over tests and homework. What do you suggest I do? —Middle SchoolerDear Middle Schooler,These feelings are pretty normal for kids of your age. Maybe you are worried that the material is too hard for you. Or maybe you want to nail everything perfectly so that you feel paralyzed.You should try to replace a negative thought with a positive one. I think it also helps to break down the big tasks into smaller ones. Make a list and cross off each item when you've completed it. You'll feel a sense of accomplishment with each completed task.Your folks and your parents might also experience these feelings, and they can share their tricks and tips with you. —AmyDear Amy,Every year we get together with my brother, his wife and their two adult daughters for Thanksgiving and Christmas.A couple years ago, I suggested discontinuing our practice of exchanging gifts. But they don't want to stop the gift exchange. This past summer I retired and I'm not in need of anything. The girls are in their 20s and on their own.We are not close, so it has become increasingly difficult to find suitable gifts. I am hopeful you can help me find a way that they will be able to understand and appreciate my point of view. —WonderingDear Wondering,If you still feel pressured, you can ease off of the material gift exchange concept by giving them each a card telling them so during the annual gift card swap. If they give you gifts, your only responsibility is to accept them graciously and thank them sincerely. —AmyCopyright 2018 by Amy DickinsonDistributed by Tribune Content Agency（1）How many kinds of ways can Middle-Schooler adopt to deal with the stress according to Amy's suggestion?A.Two.B.Three.C.Four.D.Five.（2）What can we learn about Amy?A.Amy is a teacher who helps students to deal with stress.B.Amy is a person who helps people to deal with stress.C.Amy is an editor who helps people to deal with stress.D.Amy is an editor who helps students to deal with stress.（3）What should Wondering do according to the passage?A.Wondering should find suitable gifts for his brother and so on.B.Wondering should refuse gifts given by his relatives.C.Wondering should exchange gifts with his relatives.D.Wondering can explain his thought in a card sent to his relatives.5.Last Monday, I decided to go into a superstore to prepare a picnic. It was a huge one, spread onto 2 stories. After 45 minutes of shopping to just get some tomatoes, cheese and 3 toothpicks—yes, the ratio time/articles is ridiculous—I arrived to the cashier line, thoughtful and a bit frustrated by the time I spent to get 3 articles. I wondered why I did not go to a small local store.After 15 minutes of waiting in the line, the woman in front of me called me, "Hey... you only have 3 articles? Pass before me. I have more articles than you!" It wasn't the first time it had happened to me. She did not wear any mask, so I could see her smile. Not knowing what else to do, I accepted her offering. We chatted a bit waiting for the customers ahead of us to finish—she was incredibly pleasant. Then I thanked her, giving her back my brightest smile（although I was wearing a mask...）.Getting back in my car, I rethought about that good moment, and realized that she made my day. In the meantime, I wondered how to give it back to her. No doubt it was quite impossible, so I considered how to pay-it-forward to someone else. While driving, I realized that she saved me 10 minutes. And while I was driving at 70mph, I reduced my speed to 55mph. My fuel consumption（消耗）strongly dropped down by 35%.Admittedly, I re-lost part of the 10 minutes that the woman offered me, but it was a way to repay her and do a small thing for the environment.（1）Which can best describes the author's shopping experience based on Paragraph 1?A.Tiring.B.Challenging.C.Interesting.D.Annoying.（2）What can we learn about the woman?A.She bought 5 articles.B.She knew the store well.C.She wanted to buy a mask.D.She saved the author's time.（3）Why did the author slow down?A.To kill time.B.To get home safely.C.To repay the kindness.D.To make way for others.（4）What can be a suitable title for the text?A.The Good Moment I GainB.A Special Superstore I VisitC.A Delighted Talk with StrangersD.Ways of Protecting the Environment6. Why should mankind explore space? Why should money, time and effort be spent exploring and researching something with so few apparent benefits? Why should resources be spent on space rather than on conditions and people on Earth? These are questions that, understandably, are very often asked.Perhaps the best answer lies in our genetic makeup as human beings. What drove our ancestors to move from the trees into the plains, and on into all possible areas and environments? The wider the spread of a species, the better its chance of survival. Perhaps the best reason for exploring space is this genetic tendency to expand wherever possible.Nearly every successful civilization has explored, because by doing so, any dangers in surrounding areas can be identified and prepared for. Without knowledge, we may be completely destroyed by the danger. With knowledge, we can lessen its effects.Exploration also allows minerals and other potential resources to be found. Even if we have no immediate need of them, they will perhaps be useful later. Resources may be more than physical possessions. Knowledge or techniques have been acquired through exploration. The techniques may have medical applications which can improve the length or quality of our lives. We have already benefited from other spin ﹣offs including improvements in earthquake prediction, in satellites for weather forecasting and in communications systems. Even non﹣stick pans and mirrored sunglasses are by﹣products（副产品）of technological developments in the space industry.While many resources are spent on what seems a small return, the exploration of space allows creative, brave and intelligent members of our species to focus on what may serve to save us. While spacemay hold many wonders and explanations of how the universe was formed or how it works, it also holds dangers. The danger exists, but knowledge can help human being to survive. Without the ability to reach out across space, the chance to save ourselves might not exist.While Earth is the only planet known to support life, surely the adaptive ability of humans would allow us to live on other planets. It is true that the lifestyle would be different, but human life and cultures have adapted in the past and surely could in the future.（1）Why does the author mention the questions in Paragraph1？________A. To express his doubts.B. To compare different ideas.C. To describe the conditions on Earth.D. To introduce points for discussion.．（2）What is the reason for exploring space based on Paragraph 2？________A. Humans have the tendency to fight.B. Humans are nature﹣born to do so.C. Humans may find new sources of food.D. Humans don't like to stay in the same place.．（3）What makes it possible for humans to live on other planets？________A. The adaptive ability of humans.B. Resources on the earth.C. Our genetic makeup.D. By﹣products in space exploration.．（4）Which of the statements can best sum up the passage？________A. Space exploration has created many wonders.B. Space exploration provided the best value for money.C. Space exploration may help us avoid potential problems on Earth.D. Space exploration may benefit science and technology.．7.In 1910, Northern China was the scene of an outbreak of plague（瘟疫）. Many medical workers were also sick or died from the disease. Dr Wu Lien-tch, who had lived in China since 1908, was sent to the area and proved important in helping to stop the disease and prepare the way for Western-style public health medicine in China.He is praised for asking the local government to burn the big number of dead bodies. Both measures had never been seen in China. He was also praised by different organizations for setting up sanitary（卫生）services to prevent a repeat of the disaster.Wu chaired the first international scientific meeting held in China, making Chinese scientists members of the international scientific community.

By 1937, Wu returned to his birth place Malaya as it was then known, to practice medicine, in the northern town of Ipoh, where he treated the poor for free.Born in 1879 on Penang Island, Wu showed considerable talent（才能）at a young age. He went to Penang Free School, one of Malaya's earliest schools, and won a chance to go to Emmanuel College at Cambridge University where he behaved very well, winning several prizes in the process.Wu gave generously to organizations of learning, giving away money, books and works of art he collected while in China. He also had a sense of the importance of his own work, setting down his life's work in an autobiography（自传）named Plague Fighter: The Autobiography of a Modern Chinese Physician, which came out in 1859. Wu died a year later in Penang at the age of 81.（1）What drove Dr Wu to go to Northern China in 1910?A.His hope to build Western-style hospitals.B.A serious plague that broke out there.C.A shortage of medical workers there.D.His wish to get medical knowledge.（2）What do we know about Dr Wu's measures in Northern China?A.They were useful and pioneering.B.They failed to control the situation.C.They were co-developed by several organization.D.They were not supported by the local government.（3）What did Dr Wu do after he went to Malaya?A.He went back to school and finished his study.B.He set up an international scientific community.C.He provided medical treatment for the poor for free.D.He chaired an international meeting for the first time.（4）Which of the following can best describe Dr Wu according to the text?A.Honest and warm-hearted.B.Polite and hard-working.C.Patient and cheerful.D.Skilled and helpful.四、书面表达（本题共计 1 小题，共计15分）8. （15分）假设你是某中学高一学生李华，写邮件给你的英国笔友John介绍你的寒假生活，要点包括：1. 寒假时长；2. 主要活动（如学习、运动等至少两个方面）；3. 希望了解对方的寒假生活及新学期的计划。

He left a group of 4-year-olds in a room with a bell and a candy. If they rang the bell, he would come back and they could eat the candy. If, however, they didn’t ring the bell and waited for him to come back on his own, they could then have two candies.In the videos of the experiments, he can see the children hiding their eyes, trying to exercise self-control so they can wait and get two candies. The results are different. Some broke down and rang the bell within a minute. Others lasted 15 minutes.The children who waited longer went on to get higher academic scores. They got into better colleges and had better adult success. The children who rang the bell quickest were more likely to have received worse teacher and parental evaluations (评价) 10 years later and were more likely to have drug problems at age 32.The experiments are worth noting because people spend a lot of time thinking about how to improve education, and how to become rich. But when the result is not good, they will come back to ask “How do we get people to get the sort of self-control that leads to success?” This is to enter the world of human nature.So these experiments, along with everyday experience, tell us that self-control is most important. Young people who can sit through sometimes boring classes to get a degree can work hard in order to learn a language well. They can avoid drugs and alcohol. For people without self-control skills, however, school is a series of failed and painful experience. No wonder they drop out and their later life is a group of foolish ideas, such as drug use, stealing and so on.1．The scientist did some experiments to ________.A．find good ways of training children to learnB．show that children’s education is importantC．test children’s self-control and later successD．test children’s intelligence of ringing the bell2．What do the underlined words “broke down” probably mean?A．failed to wait.B．kept waiting.C．hid the candy.D．ate the candy.3．How long did the scientist’s experiments last according to the text?A．Just 15 minutes.B．Within 10 years.C．Less than 14 years.D．About 28 years.4．What will the children without self-control do at school according to the text? A．They will improve their education.B．They will suffer a lot from boring lessons.C．They will become very rich and successful.D．They will work hard to catch up with others.4.（10分）DWith schools close in the UK during the COVID-19 outbreak, most children must now be homeschooled. Parents have found themselves not only having to balance work and having the children at home but also having to try and teach them. How can you keep your children focused while learning?Nicola Anderson--Head of Customer Support at the UK’s leading online tutoring service MyTutor, provides new, up-to-date tips to hearten parents at this difficult time and advises how they can structure their children’s days.One is to keep to a regular timetable so it still feels like your child is taking part in the school day. Ms Anderson said: “Children of all ages do well on routine and boundaries; schools provide this in abundance and most children will feel secure and happy if they can follow a similar timetable for their homeschooling.”Another tip is to create an environment which is favorable to learning. She said:” The environment should be free from distractions and ideally near to an open window, to provide them with appropriate levels of fresh air and natural light. Some children find it comfortable and helpful to have quiet, instrumental music playing in the background to help them to focus, but this isn’t for everyone.”Using technology to help with your child’s learning is also advised. Many schools are offering online classes and resources to help and companies are reducing or even not charging their fees during this time.It is also important to keep physical exercise as a part of your routine.

We gave each other hugs and high fives. When the officials called for the relay race, I went out to the starting line. Then the gun went off. As I pounded the track, I was focusing so much on myself.

Deforestation speeds up climate change, which is worsening droughts in the Horn of Africa, including Kenya, where rains have failed for five seasons in a row. So the government has set aside more than $ 80 million this year, managing to augment tree coverage to more than 10%.“It is a moment for Kenyans to stand together in the defense of our environment,” said Soipan Tuya, the Environment Minister. He referred to the day as “a ‘hummingbird(s)’ contribution day”. Hummingbirds are small birds, but they play an important part in the environment by pollinating(授粉)flowers.He added, “H aving been planting trees for most of my life, I thought I was doing ratherwell, but the government’s plan to plant 15 billion trees by 2032 was ‘an unprecedented(史无前例的)show of promise by the government towards our climate action duties.’”8．What is the purpose of the public holiday?A．To increase economic income. B．To encourage people to plant trees.C．To allow people to get more rest. D．To remind people to get close to nature. 9．Which word is the closest in meaning to “augment” in paragraph 3?A．Increase.

B．No contribution is too small to leave animpact.C．Each animal is important to nature. D．It is time to protect hummingbirds. 11．What is the best title for the text?A．Kenya Is Taking Action to Protect WildlifeB．Kenya Is in Face of Environmental ProblemsC．Kenya Improves Relationships with Their NeighborsD．Kenya Surprises the Public with a Holiday to Plant TreesDAre you a fan of birds? If so, you may have admired their beautiful colors and sweet songs. But do you know these feathered friends can actually do more than that?A new study published in the journal Scientific Reports finds that exposure to birds, either in the home or outdoors, can boost people’s moods.Researchers at King’s College London used a smartphone app built by the school’s Urban Mind project to collect the real-time feelings of study participants upon seeing or hearing a bird. A total of 1,292 people living in the United Kingdom, Europe, and the United States participated in the study which was conducted between April 2018 and October 2021.The app asked participants three times a day whether they could see or hear a bird followed by a series of questions on their mental well-being. Participants were also asked questions about whether they could see trees, plants or hear any water to see if people were experiencing better mental well-being due to being in or seeing nature, and not just because of exposure to birds.According to the study, the mental well-being of study participants with and without depression was significantly improved after seeing a bird or hearing birdsong compared to not seeing or hearing a bird.There is a growing number of studies that link spending time outdoors (either in green leafy places or next to bodies of water) to improved mental health. But there are few studies that look at how different aspects of nature can play into humans’ me ntal well-being.And while the study adds to the small pile of research on birds and mental health, the report marks the first time researchers have studied the responses to birds and mental well-being in real-time, according to Ryan Hammoud, lead author of the study.“They kind of examine nature as a single object when nature includes many different characteristics and features like trees, plants, water, birds,” said Hammoud, “We choose to focus on bird life to try and understand which specific characteristics of nature benefit mental well-being.”12．What is the purpose of paragraph 1?A．To introduce a phenomenon. B．To bring in the topic.C．To ask an interesting question. D．To provide background information. 13．How did the researchers conduct the study?A．By analyzing previous studies. B．By observing the behavior of birds.C．By gathering feelings of participants. D．By studying people’s effect on birds. 14．What does Hammoud think of the new study?A．Pioneering. B．Interesting. C．Conventional. D．Practical. 15．What is the main idea of the text?A．Bird watching has become a popular hobby.B．Exposure to birds can improve mental well-being.C．Nature is the best medicine for mental health issues.D．Spending time outdoors can impact mental health positively.第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余选项。

More often the doctors can’t fix the damage. Sometimes, they are afraid to try something to help because it is dangerous to work on the brain. The doctors might make the person worse if he operates on the brain.Dr. Robert White, a famous professor and doctor, thinks he knows a way to help. He thinks doctors should make the brain very cold. If it is very cold, the brain can live without blood for 30 minutes. This gives the doctor a longer time to do something for the brain.Dr. White tried his idea on 13 monkeys. First he taught them to do different jobs, then he operated on them. He made the monkeys’ blood go through a machine. The machine cooled the blood. Then the machine sent the blood ba ck to the monkeys’ brains. When the brain’s temperature was 10℃, Dr. White stopped the blood to the brain. After 30 minutes he turned the blood back on. He warmed the blood again. After their operations the monkeys were like what they had been before. They were healthy and busy. Each one could still do the jobs the doctor had taught them.4.

I had heard of a job opportunity and decided to pursue it, but it never became a reality. I quickly learned that being alone without resources in an unfamiliar city was not a comfortable situation to be in.Once my limited funds ran out I became homeless and spent a year and a half living on the streets of Orlando. Apart from feeling not being noticed and missing my family, I had to face another challenge—hunger.For the first time in my life, I, as a foreign man, who had lived my life in the relative comfort of the middle class, understood the frustration someone feels when they don’t get enoughto eat. I clearly remembered having run a distance of more than 7 miles on many occasions justto make it to a local feeding program before they closed at 7 pm.Once the need for food was met, the next challenge would arise—where to find a place to sleep for the night. Fortunately, local programs like the Coalition for the Homeless, Second Harvest Food Bank and the Wayne Densch Center were an important part of my ability to survive my painful experience.With the help of these programs, I was accepted by a college scholarship program through theCoalition and obtained two degrees from Valencia.My experience has helped me understand that devoting my life to helping others offers lasting rewards. Today, I am employed as Childhood Hunger Programs Manager at Second Harvest Food Bank and oversee the summer feeding, Hi-Five Kids Pack, and Kids Café programs. I am so proud to be able to distribute food resources to those wonderful programs and help hundreds more like me.12. What can be inferred from Paragraph 1?A. The author wouldn’t go to Central Florida again.B. The author felt hopeless in Central Florida at that time.C. Florida was not a good place for people living there at that time.D. People like to live with friends in a familiar city.13. Why did the author run a distance of over 7 miles on many occasions?A. Because he didn’t want to be late for work there.B. Because he desired to get some food to eat.C. Because he went there to help the poor.D. Because he helped distribute food resources to the poor.14. Before being accepted by a college scholarship program, the author .A. had lived with his relatives happilyB. had won his degree in a universityC. had been struggling financiallyD. had lost hope of facing the future15. From his experience, the author learns that .A. people can learn a lesson from difficultiesB. people may suffer a lot in an unfamiliar cityC. people should not give up even in troubleD. people might be rewarded if they’re kind to others第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的（A、B、C、D、E、F、G）选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。

A year ago?For many reasons, borrowing books from librariesseems to be in decline. With advances in technology, it is now possible forpeople to download and read whatever they like on electronic devices such asKindles. It has been argued that doing this is cheaper than buying hard-copybooks. They are also lightweight, making them ideal for travelling.Call me old fashioned, but I’ve never got intothe e-books: I like to have printed books lining my bookshelves; I love thesmell of a new book; and I enjoy leafing through paper pages — as long as Iavoid the paper cuts!So, I prefer paper books, and I also prefer toown them myself. Libraries only lend books, so what use are they tosomeone like me, or to someone who only reads electronic books?Personally, I still love libraries. They offer aquiet space to sit, read, think, do research…a real escape from the outsideworld. When I was at university, I frequently spent hours at the library andborrowed numerous journals, articles and other printed materials, as it wasjust too expensive to buy brand new books every week. Libraries are free!Libraries often organize a series of interestingactivities as well. My local library hosted actors, historians and otherspeakers during the town’s annual art and literature festival. Well-knownauthors are also invited to libraries to give speeches or lead discussionsabout their work. Events such as these are a great way to appeal to people ofall ages in the community and encourage the use of libraries.There are still many fantastic ways to uselibraries — maybe we just need to be more awake to them!（1）What is the writer’s purpose of using question sentences in Paragraph 1?A . To introduce the topic of the passage.B . To make readers answer questions.C . To give readers some advice.D . To conduct a survey.（2）What can we know about e-books?A . They are easy to buy.B . They are cheap and easy to take.C . They can be borrowed from libraries.D . They are a waste of energy.（3）What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 4 refer to?A . Libraries.B . E-books.C . Paper books.D . Bookshelves.（4）What is the best title of the passage?A . The end of the library?B . The reasons for my loving libraries!C . Which is better, e-books or paper books?D . The last time of visiting your local library!4. 阅读理解We all know the feeling of waking up in themiddle of the night with a pounding heart and sweaty palms. Relax, you say toyourself— it was just a bad dream. Well, it may be that you really shouldrelax, because nightmares might actually be good for you.According to NewYork magazine, bad dreams can improve your mental health. A bad dream tendsto be based on a real-life concern, for example, an approaching test or a fearof a person. To eliminate these worries the brain turns the dream into astory in the form of a bad dream.A bad dream enables you to distance yourself fromyour anxieties, and turn something you’re worried about now into a memory. Theresult is that when you wake up, you’re able to move forward and face thefuture.A study, featured in The Atlantic magazine, showed something similar. In a survey ofmore than 700 French students taking a medical school entrance exam, over 60percent had negative dreams about the test the night before. These included notfinishing on time, leaving a question blank, or being late. Those who reporteddreams about the exam, even bad ones, did better on it than those who didn’t,suggesting that nightmares do in fact prepare us for the future.“We think nightmares are so common thatthey have some purpose to process stressors,” Anne G ermain, director ofthe Sleep Center at the University of Pittsburgh, said.So, the next time you lie awake at night after abad dream, remember that it may be the brain’s way of putting your fears behindyou and readying you for the future. Although a nightmare may make you afraidin the short term, it might be helping you to move on from the bad stuff youmight be facing in the real world. Perhaps we should try to accept ournightmares rather than allow them to keep us awake. After all, lack of sleepcauses far more problems than dreams do.（1）Which of the following best explains “eliminate” in Paragraph 2?A . Remove.B . Reflect.C . Satisfy.D .
