It was made in 1734, in Italy, by Antonio Stradivari. Only about 600 of his violins are believed to still exist. They were regarded as the rarest and best instruments in the world.Roman’s Stradivarius was his musical partner for 38 years. Then bad luck struck; the violin was stolen from his office after a concert while he greeted well-wishers. He was shocked and upset by its loss. “Yes, it’s a bit like losing your arm,” he told his daughter, Jill.It took Roman a year to find and buy a new violin as the size and tones (音质) of each were different from his. He had to learn his musical pieces all over again! Roman kept playing into his 90s and taught at Boston University until he died in 2012, aged 101.His daughter says, “We wondered from time to time if the violin would surface, but... Our mother and father taught us to keep moving forward and not think over what life throws at you.”In 2015, the wife of the man who stole the violin wanted to know if it was really a Stradivarius. She had looked after him when he was dying from cancer and now it belonged to her. She took it to master violin maker and dealer Phillip Injeia. He recognized it immediately and contacted the FBI. Jill, who received the call from FBI, said in an interview, “I said, ‘I have to call my sisters. I’ll tell them not to get their hopes up,’ but Phillip Injeian said, ‘You don’t have to do that. This is the violin.’”Jill said they would sell the violin, not to a collector but someone who would play it. She said it would finally be in the hands of another great artist and its amazing voice would be heard in concert halls around the country.4．Why did Roman feel like he had lost an arm after the violin was stolen?A．It cost him a lot of money.B．It had served as a useful arm.C．It had been his musical partner.D．It was created by a famous maker.5．What is the turning point of this story?A．The FBI got in touch with Jill.B．The Stradivarius was found missing.C．Roman Totenberg died in 2012, aged 101.D．The violin was taken to a master violin maker and dealer.6．Why would the family like the violin to be owned by a violinist?A．They intended to become well-known.B．They wanted to sell it at a higher price.C．They hoped to remember Roman Totenberg.D．They wished to make the most of the Stradivarius.7．Which words can best describe Phillip Injeian?A．Expert and confident.B．Creative and careful.C．Learned and proud.D．Strong-willed and friendly.It’s reported that about 20 percent of the Amazon rainforest has disappeared during thespecies native to the Amazon River area, it’s affecting humans worldwide. When it comes to the protection of the Amazon, it’s hard for many people to relate because they don’t feel connected to the area. There are actually a lot of direct connections, no matter how far away we are.A connection that affects everyone on the planet is climate (气候) change. Planting new trees in the forest is basically a way of removing CO2 from the air. Rain forests have a carbon (碳) reduction nearly equal to half of what is in the air. About half of that is in the Amazon. Another case in point is a big snake called the bushmaster that lives in the Amazon. Today, millions of people use medicines made from its venom (毒液) to treat high blood pressure. So they have longer, fuller, and more productive lives.In the 1960s, there was only one highway in the entire Amazon. That’s an area as large as the continental United States with one highway and three million people. Today, there are between 30 million to 40 million people, countless roads, and about 20 percent forests have been cut down. But on the plus side, 50 years ago there were only two national parks and a national forest and a reserve in Brazil. Today, more than 50 percent of the Amazon is under some form of protection.“There’s been a lot of damage done and forest lost, but nothing is gone until it’s gone”, noted National Geographic explorer Dr. Thomas Lovejoy. “We want to see more shared planning between the departments of transportation, energy, agriculture, and the other industries in the area. We think Amazon cities can have higher quality of life and keep people in existing cities so there’s less reason to deforest.”8．Which can replace the underlined word “Deforestation” in paragraph 1?A．Planting more trees.B．Destroying the forests.C．Protecting the species.D．Polluting the rivers.9．What might the partial loss of the Amazon rainforest lead to?A．The increase of extreme weather.B．The removal of CO2.C．More people with high blood pressure.D．The overgrowth of the bushmaster. 10．How does paragraph 3 mainly develop?A．By making comparisons.B．By listing reasons.C．By explaining a definition.D．By making a summary.11．What is Dr. Thomas’ attitude towards the future of the Amazon rainforest?A．Doubtful.B．Worried.C．Positive.D．Uncaring.While screen time is known to affect sleep, new research suggests that interactive (互动的) activities, such as texting friends or playing video games, put off and reduce the time spent asleep to a greater degree than passive (被动的) screen time like watching television, especially for teens.The team studied the daytime screen-based activities of 475 teenagers using daily surveys. They asked the teens how many hours they had spent that day communicating with friends through social media and how many hours they spent playing video games, surfing the internet and watching television or videos. Finally, the researchers asked if they had joined in any of these activities in the hour before bed.Next, the team measured their sleep time for one week. The researchers found that the teens spent an average of two hours per day communicating with friends via social media, about 1.3 hours playing video games, less than an hour surfing the internet and about 1.7 hours watching television or videos. For every hour throughout the day that they used screens to communicate with friends, they fell asleep about 11 minutes later averagely. For every hour to play video games, they fell asleep about 9 minutes later. Those who talked, texted orplayed games in the hour before bed lost the most sleep: about 30 minutes later.Interestingly, David, lead author of the study, said the team found no obvious relations between passive screen-based activities and sleep. “It could be that passive activities are less mentally exciting than interactive activities,” said Anne, co-author of the study. “It’s a tricky situation,” she said. “These screen tools are really important to everyone nowadays, so it’s hard to put a limit on them, but if you’re really looking out for a teenager’s health and well-being, you might consider limiting the more interactive activities, especially in the hour before bed.”12．Which of the following belongs to interactive screen activities?A．Seeing movies.B．Watching videos.C．Texting friends.D．Surfing the internet.13．Who might lose the most sleep according to the text?A．Lucy who watched a three-hour movie before going to bed.B．Jack who had a 30-minute video chat with his brother before bed.C．Sam who played computer games for two hours throughout the day.D．Amy who chatted with her friends on WeChat for one hour in the morning. 14．What does the underlined word “tricky” mean in paragraph 4?A．Frightening.B．Awkward.C．Hopeless.D．Encouraging. 15．What can be a suitable title for the text?A．Screen time activities cut down our sleep hoursB．Interactive screen use reduces sleep time in teenagersC．Passive screen use is better than interactive screen useD．Parents should prevent children from using social mediaReading is a healthy habit that everyone should develop from childhood because of theThe following will discuss the effects of not reading books, so you can basically consider and judge where you are and understand how reading can be beneficial.17 People who don’t read and don’t like to read find it harder to learn than people who actually read. For example, most students who fail to develop a reading habit find it difficult to get through school. This then leads to students dropping out, which is bad for society. Reading is a habit that strengthens the brain and develops your inborn love ofwanting to learn more. Therefore, not being addicted to books closes you off from this.Narrow mindedness. Reading a variety of books broadens the readers’ mind. Most people who don’t read have a certain narrow mindedness to them that can easily be noticed.18 When you don’t read, you’re forced to take everything at face value and then create and shape your views in this way.Low brain power. One advantage of reading is its ability to improve brain function. Reading can help people become better thinkers and use brains more effectively. People who don’t read usually have low brain power because they don’t exercise the brain as much as readers do. 19Poor imagination. Reading books allows you to tap into your imaginative power. 20 This is important because it expands (拓展) your thought process as well as the ability to understand. People who don’t read books usually are short of the inspiration necessary to create imagination. This makes it difficult to be creative.A．Learning difficulty.B．The reason for this is simple.C．Such exercise strengthens the brain.D．Inability to fully understand the world.E．It then makes you picture what you read.F．It is developed slowly just as any habit would.G．The ability to read is important in today’s world.二、完形填空As Hallee gets to the finish line of the 800-metre run for kids, the crowd is cheeringWhen the twins were five, Jada decided that she wanted to be a(n) 27 .

Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.A little bit of silence. Sometimes that’s all we want. Whether it is halfway through a 10-hour flight with a crying baby or trying to sleep through the snoring from the hotel room next door, the ____11____ of noise-canceling headphones is one that every traveler probably finds charming. Yet are they worth it? These headphones are often expensive, and for some people, they don’t live up to the ads.I’ve spent a ____12____ of the last five years traveling, taking dozens of flights and train journeys, and as someone who has reviewed noise-canceling headphones for even longer, I can definitely say maybe.HOW THEY WORK? Noise-canceling headphones, also called active noise canceling headphones, use electronic processing to analyze nearby sound and attempt to ____13____ the opposite sound. The result is less noise, over all.These headphones don’t create silence, nor are they able to ____14____ noise. The crests and troughs (波峰和波谷) do not perfectly cancel out.

Only hands-on testing, ideally with objective measurements, can tell the difference.Noise-canceling headphones require a battery to ____17____ their electronics.

They are ____18____like earplugs, but with earbuds. If you can get a good seal, these work reasonably well.Getting a good seal can be a challenge, however, since everyone’s ears are different, and not all headphones will ____19____ correctly. And even if you do get a good seal, noise-isolating headphones will not be able to block low-frequency sounds as well as the best noise-canceling headphones. They will reduce a wide range of frequencies, which can help.WHO REALLY NEEDS THEM? If you are a frequent traveler, good noise-canceling headphones will makeany journey in a plane, train or automobile far more pleasant.In-ear models are easier—though still slightly uncomfortable—to sleep with and are my ____20____. Over-ear models reduce a little more noise, as they are able to passively block some sound because of their design. But they are always bulky on your head or in your bag. After I stopped reviewing these headphones for Wirecutter, I bought a pair of Bose QuiteComfort 20s, a long time Wirecutter pick, and I never fly without them.III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passages there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.ChatGPT, an artificial intelligence-driven chatbot (闲聊机器人) programme that responds to user prompts, has dominated social networks in recent weeks. Its ____21____ is such that within days of its launch, OpenAI, the artificial intelligence company behind the chatbot, announced that 1 million people had logged on. In comparison, Facebook and Spotify took months to attract that level of ____22____. The attraction is obvious: ChatGPT can generate jokes, essays and computer code from a short writing prompt.There’s nothing ____23____ in software that produces fluent and logical writing. ChatGPT’s predecessor, the Generative Pretrained Transformer 3 (GPT-3), could do that too. Both were trained on an unimaginably large amount of data to answer questions in a ____24____ way. But ChatGPT has been fine-tuned by being fed the data on human “conversations”, which significantly ____25____ the truthfulness and informativeness of its answers.____26____, ChatGPT still produces answers that seem reasonable but are incorrect or nonsensical. Even the bot itself says, “My responses are not intended to be taken as ____27____.” This might be a big problem on the Internet, as many web platforms ____28____ the capability to protect themselves against a flood of AI-generated content. Such websites as Stack Overflow, where users can find answers to programming-related questions, had to ban ChatGPT-produced posts, as its human moderators(管理员) could not deal with the ____29____ of believable but wrong replies. It is _____30_____ to give out tools that could be used to mass produce fake news and messages.Letting loose ChatGPT raises the question of whether content produced by it can be truly trusted. A human author is _____31_____ their work in a way AI is not.

A. rejected B. blamed C. underestimated D. contributed35. A. civilization B. caution C. loss D. pressure Section BDirections: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)When was the last time you did something that gave you a genuine sense of achievement?For me it was last week, when I hung a picture on the wall. I know, it sounds a little crazy. But it was an easy project that I’d put off for too long.As accomplishments go, this wasn’t up there with achieving world peace, curing the incurable or running a marathon. Yet that feeling of genuine accomplishment is something that I fear we’re beginning to lose today. Now more than ever, we live in a world of instant gratitude, aided by ever-present digital devices that only feed the desire. News headlines, sports scores and the latest gossip are all a finger-swipe away on our smartphones. In this digital parallel universe, our sense of achievement has become defined by the number of positive reactions we get from posting a cool picture or making a brief comment.Just to be clear, I don’t have a problem with digital devices, apps or social media; I use them every day. Together they’ve helped us connect with others, solve problems and get things done in ways almost no one could have ever imagined. But the problem is: they aren’t very personally fulfilling.So how do we arrive at that genuine sense of achievement, whether it’s at work or our personal life? Daniel Pink, a noted author on work, management and behavioral science, has an interesting theory. When it comes to anything but the most basic tasks, we aren’t very motivated by the “traditional” motivators of fear, money or rewards. Instead, the factors include autonomy, mastery, and purpose. Autonomy represents our desire to be self-directed –to do what we want to do, when and how we want to do it; mastery refers to an essential urge to better our skills and derive satisfaction from doing so; and purpose is our desire to do something that is important and has true meaning, either to ourselves or to others.By tapping into these internal motivators, even unconsciously, we can accomplish great things, like exploring new hobbies or dreams; becoming passionate about our work; and deriving satisfaction from what we do and wanting to do more.We don’t need to achieve world peace or run a marathon to feel a sense of personal achievement. Anything will do—even hanging a few pictures on the wall. But it needs to start by putting our devices aside, at least for a little while.36. According to the passage, the reason why we are beginning to lose the sense of accomplishment is that_________.A. it’s easy for the masses to make a quick and positive commentB. most people fear they can hardly make any accomplishmentC. people tend to express their instant and artificial gratitude through the InternetD. the digital age has influenced our definition of the sense of achievement37. What can be inferred from the passage?A. The author is used to putting off a project for too long.B. Though not personally satisfactory, digital devices are somewhat helpful.C. The author objected to addressing issues with digital devices, apps or social media.D. Achieving world peace or curing the incurable goes beyond what we call achievement.38. The “internal motivators” in paragraph 6 refer to _________.A. fear, money and rewardsB. hobbies, dreams and passionC. autonomy, mastery and purposeD. work, management and behavioral science39. What’s the author’s opinion on the sense of personal achievement?A. With digital devices, it is easy to obtain the sense of personal achievementB. Without social media, it is impossible to obtain the sense of personal achievement.C. With Internet，personal achievement can only be obtained through great success.D. Without digital devices, the sense of personal achievement can be obtained in daily tasks.(B)40. What kind of flowers are the least recommended?A. Refrigerated flowers which are placed near fruits and vegetables.B. Refrigerated flowers which are placed near the dairy section.C. Unrefrigerated flowers which are placed near fruits and vegetables.D. Unrefrigerated flowers which are placed near the dairy section.41. Which of the following statement is TRUE?A. Flowers near the produce section often look pretty than those in other sections.B. 75 percent of the tires at the tire shop need changing because they will go flat.C. Unless you are a passionate online gamer, you don’t need to pursue fast internet speed.D. Furniture stores usually offer an at least 10 percent discount before holidays.42. ________ can benefit most from this article.A. Flower shop owners who want to attract more customersB. Housewives who are asking for recommendations on giftsC. Internet users who are seeking for a more economical serviceD. Newlyweds who need to save money for their future(C)Cars and taxis passed the eighty-four pink granite columns that stood like guards at the front of the station. Pedestrians approached along an elegant arched passageway. The waiting room was fifteen stories high and a block and a half long. In many ways, Pennsylvania Station, also known as Penn Station, was the heart of New York City.Built in 1910, the station was an energetic place. Filled with bustling crowds, Penn Station welcomed travelers with its bright and hearty atmosphere. Getting on or off a train here was an exciting thing to do.By the 1950s, however, fewer people were travelling by train. They had found alternate ways to travel.Airlines carried more and more passengers. New superhighways made driving long distances easier.By the end of the decade, the owners of Penn Station made a fateful decision. They would demolish the famous landmark. In its place, they would build an office building and a sports arena. The plan seemed to make financial sense, but little thought was given to train passengers. People would now have to board trains underground from small waiting areas near the train tunnels.Demolish Penn Station? When New Yorkers heard the plan, they couldn’t believe their ears. One of the city’s finest public places had been given a death sentence, and New Yorkers didn’t like the verdict!Citizens joined together to save the landmark. For months, they would strive to rescue it from the wrecking ball. They pointed out that the station was an architectural treasure. It had played a key role in the life and history of the city. What’s more, the new underground station would be cramped and uncomfortable. A person didn’t have to be very observant to see that.Unfortunately, no one could stop the tragedy. City officials enforced the wishes of the owners, and in 1963, the wrecking balls went to work. Onlookers gazed in horror as an architectural masterpiece crashed to the ground in dust.In the end, New Yorkers resigned themselves to the loss of Penn Station. They had, however, learned a lesson: Landmark buildings had to be saved. A special landmarks commission was formed. Its primary purpose was to identify and protect the city’s finest architecture. Its members recognized that as a city changes and matures, some older buildings do have to be demolished to make room for new ones. Landmarks, however, must be preserved.Ironically, by the 1990s, train travel had picked up at Penn Station, especially among commuters from surrounding towns. The underground station had difficulty handling the raging river of traffic. As predicted, few liked the cramped replacement.Some New Yorkers hope to convert a grand old post office into a new train station. The post office is in the right place，and in some ways, it resembles the old Pennsylvania Station. The plan may work, but the major repair will be a very difficult and costly feat. So the tragedy teaches another lesson: Sometimes, it’s better to preserve what we have than to try to replace it.43. Which of the following accounts for the disappearance of the Penn Station?A. Economic consideration.B. Renewed enthusiasm for sports.C. The outdated design of the station.D. Better underground facilities.44. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. The New Yorkers cheered at the sight of the crash of the station.B. The members realized that all the old buildings should be preserved.C. It was too late for the city to mend the mistake.D. The replacement of the station was never a problem.45. The underlined word “feat” in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to ______.A. sceneryB. banquetC. probabilityD. achievement46. What can be best title of the passage?A. How was the Pennsylvania Station built?B. What happened to the Pennsylvania Station?C. Where should the Pennsylvania Station be built?D. Why should the Pennsylvania Station be recovered?Section CDirections: Complete the following passage by using the sentences given below. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.Is Australia an island?Australia is the smallest continent and one of the largest countries on Earth, lying between the Pacific and Indian oceans in the Southern Hemisphere. At about 3 million square miles (7.7 million square km), it’s closer in size to Greenland than it is to South America. Does that make Australia an island like Greenland?Although Australia is sometimes called an “island continent,” most geographers consider islands and continents to be separate things. ____47____ By that definition, Australia can’t be an island because it’s already a continent.But in that case, what’s the difference between Australia and Greenland? Why isn’t Greenland (at 836,000 square miles [2,165,230 square km]) considered a continent instead of just the world’s largest island? Unfortunately, there isn’t a strict scientific definition of a continent. ____48____First, there is a geological distinction. While Australia and most of Asia are situated on separate tectonic plates, Greenland shares a tectonic plate with North America. There is also a biological difference. While a large percentage of Australia’s plant and animal species can be found nowhere else in the world, fewer of Greenland’s species are unique. ____49____ Aboriginal people are limited to Australia, while native Greenlanders belong to a group of peoples (the Inuit) found throughout the Arctic, including parts of Canada, the United States, and Russia.Of course, there’s also the basic matter of size. ____50____ If they were much closer in area, Greenland might have more of a case for continent status (and Australia for island status). As it is, the vast difference between the two makes for a good dividing line.While each of those criteria may not be sufficient on its own — for instance, Europe and Asia also share a tectonic plate but are usually considered separate continents for cultural reasons—together they form a general understanding of what qualifies as a continent.A. Australia is nearly four times as large as Greenland.B. In addition, in terms of anthropology, the scientific study of people, they are different as well.C. Australia is the last of lands only because it was the last continent, apart from Antarctica, to be explored by Europeans.D. According to Britannica, an island is a mass of land that is both “entirely surrounded by water” and also “smaller than a continent.”E. Isolation is also a clear characteristic of the social landscape beyond the large coastal cities.F. But there are a few criteria that are commonly used to distinguish one continent from another.IV.

His grandson wanted to be just like his grandfather, so tried to emulate him every way he could.One day the grandson asked, "Grandpa, I try to read just like you do, but I don't understand most of it, and I forget whatever I do understand immediately I close the book. So what good is it for me to read?"The grandfather, who was putting coal on the fire, said, "Take this coal basket down to the river and bring me back a basket of water. "The boy did as told to, but the water leaked out before he could get the basket home. The grandfather laughed, saying, "You'll have to move a little faster. "This time he ran faster, but again the basket emptied. Out of breath, he decided it was impossible to carry water in a basket, and he went to get a bucket (桶). But the grandfather said, "I want a basketof water instead of a bucket of water. You're just not trying hard enough. "The boy knew what he was trying to accomplish was impossible. However, he decided to show his grandfather a third time.The boy dipped the basket into the river and ran as hard as he could. With the empty basket, he gasped (喘气说),"See Grandpa? It's useless! ""So you think it useless? "the old man asked. "Then look at the basket. "To his surprise, the boy found it washed clean of the dirty coal stains and now clean inside and out."My child, that's what happens when you read the book. You might not understand or remember everything, but the words will change you inside and out. That is the work of reading in our lives. "24.Why did the man tell the boy to fetch a basket of water?A.

On Reading Books.CMany high school students consider a college education useless. Therefore, they choose not to go to college. If you're one of them, think again. Here are some reasons why you should go to college and receive a good education there.Schools and universities are the first sources of knowledge. We take that knowledge later on to build our careers after graduation. More knowledge will be gained after you start working, but without an education, that job will not be within easy reach. Knowledge leads to knowledge.While limited within the walls of the educational institutions, we openly explore other cultures of the world. We come to know that ours is not the only culture. Other cultures have valuable insights to share, enriching our own. Education also makes us want to travel and interact with various cultures, broadening our horizons.When there's a downturn (衰退) in the economy, those who attended college will be more likely to find a new job than those who only finished grade school and have a limited skills set. The more education you have, the more chances you will get to improve the quality of your life as you have a better job and earn a higher salary.When you're skillful and knowledgeable, you get to "rub knees" with people of similar backgrounds and tastes. It means a good education leads to excellent networking. Good networking can benefit you a lot in your later life.A good education makes you a more interesting person. You can talk about ideas and events i nstead of just other people and what’s on sale in stores. An educated person doesn't gossip, having a preference to discuss ideas and listen to what other people have to say.27.Paragraph 2 mainly shows that going to college allows you to ______.A. have a chance to study abroad.B. keep gaining knowledge.C. become a more interesting person.D. realize the importance of knowledge.28.According to Paragraph 3, what does going to college mean?A.
