They take place at the same timeBTwo weeks ago, a 5-year-old girl named Sunshine Oelfke emptied out her piggy bank (存钱罐) onto the living room floor and immediately started counting. Her grandmother, Jackie Oelfke, thought she was playing as she carefully lined up the coins, but then she saw the girl put the coins into a plastic bag and place it in her backpack. "That aroused my curiosity," Jackie told CBS News. "Nobody messes with the piggy bank." After observing, Sunshine at work a few minutes longer, Jackie decided to find out why the little girl broke into her savings."What are you doing with that money?" Jackie asked her granddaughter."I'm taking it to school," Sunshine replied. The little girl finally stated the real reason why she needed the money. "I'm going to take it for milk money. My friend Layla doesn't get milk—her mom doesn't have milk money and I do."Jackie's heart melted at Sunshine's words. Choked with strong feelings, Jackie held her sweet granddaughter tightly in her arms.Last week, Jackie and Sunshine met with her teacher, Rita Hausher, and handed her the $30 the kindergartner had saved. There are 20 kids in Sunshine's class and about half don't get milk. It costs $0.45 a carton (盒).The total adds up to about $180 a month for every child in the class to have milk every day.After dropping Sunshine off at school, Jackie posted a tearful video on Facebook to explain her granddaughter's plan. To her surprise, dozens of people offered to donate toward the cause. Within a week, Jackie raised more than 1,000. Now every student in Sunshine's class can get free milk for the rest of the year.Jackie said Sunshine doesn't see her kind act as a big deal. She was just trying to look out for her friends. "She doesn't understand the effect she's brought about," Jackie said. "But now she knows she can do whatever she puts her mind to."4.Why did Sunshine empty her piggy bank?A. She wanted to play with the coins.B. She needed to train her counting skills.C. She intended to pay for her friend's milk.D. She hoped to show off her savings in class.5.How did Jackie feel upon hearing Sunshine's words?A. Touched.B. Curious.C. Proud.D. Relieved.6.In Jackie's eyes, what did Sunshine learn from the experience?A. Many hands make light work.B. Two heads are better than one.C. A friend in need is a friend indeed.D. Nothing is impossible to a willing heart.7.What is the best title for this passage?A. Jackie's Piggy BankB. Small Coins, Big DeedsC. A Moved GrandmotherD. Piggy Bank and Carton MilkCThis journey began this morning almost an hour later than I had planned,although I had completed my packing before eight o'clock.I was quite clear about the fact that once I left,my house would stand empty for probably the first time since the day it was built.It was a strange feeling and perhaps explains why I was leaving so late,walking around the house many times over,checking one last time to see that all was in order.It is hard to explain my feelings once I did finally set off.As I drove further and further from the house,I found the surroundings grow unrecognizable.I began to have a feeling of unease mixed with excitement.I took a turning and found myself on a road circling the edge of a hill.I could sense the steep（陡峭的） drop to my left.I felt a sense of alarm that I was perhaps not on the correct road at all,but speeding off in the wrong direction into a wilderness.It was only the feeling of a moment,but it caused me to slow down.And even when I was sure I was on the right road,I felt forced to stop the car a moment to think carefully.I decided to step out and stretch（伸展） my legs a little.On the one side of the road,thickets and small trees rose sharply,while on the other I could now see the distant countryside and a town nearby.I walked a little way along the roadside,when I heard a voice behind me.Until this point I had believed myself quite alone and I turned in some surprise.Sitting on the large stone was a thin,white haired man.He called to me again and signaled me to join him.For a moment,I took him for a homeless man,but then I saw he was just some local man enjoying the fresh air and summer sunshine,and saw no reason not to do so.8.Why did the author set off later than planned？______A. Because he repeatedly checked the house.B. Because he was feeling sad about leaving the house.C. Because packing his belongings took longer than expected.D. Because there was no one to help him get everything ready.9.What caused the author to start driving more slowly？______A. The road had become steep.B. He realized he was driving too fast.C. The beautiful scenery attracted him.D. He suddenly feared that he might get lost.10.When the author walked out of his car,he ______ .A. didn't expect to see anyoneB. didn't want to speak to anybodyC. didn't know there was a town nearbyD. couldn't see anything because of the tree11.What was the author's attitude to his trip？______A. He just wanted to finish it.B. He felt unable to continue it.C. He regretted having started it.D. He had mixed feelings about it.DA survey by the American Psychological Association shows that one in ten adults reads online news at least once an hour.A lot has been written about the mental health influence from news addiction，and in particular from reading negative reports.Just like junk food， "junk" news can be bad for our health.In recent years，things have been getting increasingly more negative.A study of the content of New Zealand'slargest newspaper showed that while in 1973 the average number of stories about death on the front page was0.75，by 2013 it was 4.1（and no，there weren't five times more people dying）.What's more，online news，and the stories we read on mobile phones in particular，tend to be even more negative than print.A 2019 study of 50 U.S.newspapers showed that mobile versions of newspapers report three times more stories about disasters and accidents than paper ones.Such negative reports lead people to believe that things are worse than they really are.They can lead to stress，worry and lower spirits.Experiments also suggest that loneliness and poor relationships have been connected with reading negative reports.After reading negative reports，people are less likely to help others.Even worse，when we check news on smart phones，we may "phub" our loved ones，which leads to lower relationship satisfaction.Negative reports attract our attention far more than positive ones.That's a global happening.I hope，however，that if we realize that negative news is spoiling our moods，we might all be more willing to change.12.Why is "junk food" mentioned in the first paragraph？______A. To entertain readers.B. To introduce the topic.C. To make an advertisement.D. To keep readers away from it.13.What can we learn about the study in Paragraph 2？______A. The death rate in New Zealand is very high.B. Print newspapers have become less popular.C. Stories about death have become less popular.D. Negative reporting has been increasing over years.14.What may negative reports lead people to do？______A. Live a hopeful life.B. Become more careful.C. Become less likely to help others.D. Pay more attention to their physical health.15.What does the underlined word "phub" in Paragraph 5 mean？______A. ignoreB. hateC. laugh atD. care about二、阅读七选五：本大题共5小题，共12.5分。

2021-2022学年广东省湛江市高一下学期期末考试英语试题

2021-2022学年广东省湛江市高一下学期期末考试英语试题1. Best Sleep Music AppsIf you want to sleep better at night, trying a sleep music app might be the answer. Here are some ideal sleep music apps to choose from.CalmCalm is one of the most popular sleep music apps and its large library of relaxing and sleep-causing tracks is largely responsible for that. This app offers a free version, but to really take advantage of what Calm has to offer, you had better choose the paid version, which costs $ 69.99 for one year. A lifetime membership is $ 399.99.Relax MelodiesRelax Melodies is intended to calm your mind with relaxing sound. The composer is visual and easy to use, and the Discover page gives you access to other app features, like bedtime stories and breathing exercises. Though its free version provides a great introduction to the idea of sleep music, the paid version unlocks a larger library of sounds. Consider paying for it if there're particular sounds or features that really attract you.HeadspaceHeadspace is a feature-rich app designed in a simple way that makes it quick and easy to use its library of sleep-specific music. The Sleep icon at the bottom of the app is easy to identify and leads to a library of options that include Sleep Music and Sleep Radio. It's worth noting that nearly everything in Headspace's Sleep Library requires an extra subscription. Headspace costs $ 69.99 annually, or you can pay $12.99 per month.PzizzPzizz offers sleep music tracks you can use at naptime, bedtime, or to improve focus. One thing that makes Pzizz different is its voice narration（旁白）option. If you find the presence of a calming voice to be comforting or benefit from someone helping you to relax your body and mind, then Pzizz is a good choice for you. Male and female voice options are available and the voice is low and calm. It has a free version but you should pay for extra subscriptions.1.

How much should you pay at least for the one-year subscription of Headspace?A．$12.99. B．$69.99. C．$155.88. D．$399.99.3. What is special about Pzizz?A．Its voice for narration is fixed.

On a cold winter day, Don took his dogs, Milo and Duke, out for their usual morning walk at Bark Park. But this peaceful walk was interrupted by Mike, an anxious dog owner who was missing his best friend. His small gray dog, Jackson, had gotten lost somewhere in the park- and he'd already been gone for quite some time. Small dogs don't do very well in cold weather. Knowing that there was no time to waste, Don and his own dogs immediately started searching the park. Unfortunately, Jackson was nowhere to be found.If Don hadn't had his own dogs with him, Jackson might never have been found in time. Don was about to give up on the search and was already heading back to his car. But as Don and his dogs were crossing the bridge, Milo suddenly noticed something in the water. Thinking that his dog had seen a duck or something else, Don tried to pull on the leash, but Milo wouldn't listen. Duke joined in, and the two dogs insisted that something was going on.Don looked out across the bridge and saw a small, gray shape struggling in the icy river. The reality of the situation clicked, and Don immediately began running down to the water's edge. Don called 911, but he knew that help wouldn't arrive in time. Without even sparing a thought for himself, the brave man jumped into the water and moved straight towards the terrified dog. Jackson was trapped in ice and barely holding himself above water. Don used his arms to break the ice and quickly pulled the dog into his arms. The two swam out of the water and back onto dry land. Mike was waiting for Jackson and rushed him straight to a nearby vet clinic. It's reported that Jackson didn't suffer any harm from the incident and is as cheerful as ever.1.

Jimmy Choi is a cyclist, and a world record holder for push-ups. He also happens to be living with Parkinson’s disease. He was diagnosed with the brain disorder in 2003, suffering from involuntary shaking and problems with walking and balancing. There is currently no cure. Jimmy has to quit the sports. Soon he commits himself to being a motivational speaker and advocating for people with the disease.Jimmy often shares his struggles on social media, and in a recent video, he expressed his annoyance at the packaging of the pills he needs to take. It showed his shaking hand trying to get a tiny pillfrom the bottle. Jimmy wasn’t the only one facing such a problem. Brian Alldridge, a videographer, saw his video and immediately decided to do something to help him and everyone else dealing with this problem. He sat down at his computer and taught himself 3D modeling software. Within two days, Brian designed a new medicine bottle that separates a single pill in a container.Brian made his own video and offered his design free of charge to anyone with a 3D printer who would be willing to create a physical prototype. “I expected maybe one or two people to message me when I couldn’t guarantee that the device would actually work. Instead, thousands of people offered to print the thing the next day,” Brian said, feeling so surprised. “Even more told me that someone they knew could benefit from it.”The online community took it from there, printing out many versions of Brian’s design until they had a prototype to send to Jimmy. Jimmy was just surprised by their support, and he eagerly tested every version of it. The creators of the pill bottle now feel like there’s nothing they can’t do! “If you think of a way to improve the lives of others, there’s most likely a way to make it happen.” Brian said.1. What do we know about Jimmy in face of Parkinson’s disease?A．He feels upset about leaving sports. B．He makes great efforts to recover.C．He becomes devoted to a new career.

D．Jimmy tried all versions of the bottle.4. What do the creators think of the creation of the pill bottle?A．There is nothing they can’t accept.B．There is nothing they can’t imagine.C．There is nothing they can’t c ontrol. D．There is nothing they can’t achieve.4. The Silk Road is arguably the most famous long-distance trade route of the ancient world. This passage connected Europe in the West with China in the East, and allowed the exchange of goods, technology, and ideas between the two civilizations. Although merchants could make huge profits travelling the road, it was not without risk.The main Silk Road started in Chang’an (known today as Xi’an), the early Han capital. Travelers commencing their journey from this city could take a northern route that would take them across China’s northwestern provinces. After this, they would face the Gobi Desert, arguably the greatest danger of the Silk Road.The Gobi Desert, the largest desert in Asia, consists mainly of rocky, hard earth. This feature made it easier for traders to travel across, compared to sandy deserts like the neighboring TaklamakanDesert. Like other deserts, the Gobi Desert is dry and hot, and therefore the biggest challenge travelers faced was obtaining enough water for themselves as well as for their camels.So, rest stops were created along the route, allowing travelers to rest, eat and drink. These places also promoted the exchange of goods, and even ideas, amongst the travelers who stopped there.Us ually, the rest stops were placed within a day’s journey of each other. In this way, travelers could avoid spending too much time in the desert, which would make them targets for robbers, another danger of the Silk Road.Once through the Gobi Desert, travelers would continue their journey into Iran, Turkey, and finally Europe. Whilst this part of the journey may have been less dangerous, it is not entirely without its perils.1. The underlined word “it” in the first paragraph refers to _____.A．making huge profits B．traveling the Silk RoadC．exchanging goods and ideas D．connecting different civilizations2. Why was the Gobi Desert easier to cross than other deserts?A．The desert’s surface was easier to walk on.B．Camels for transportation were easier to find.C．It was smaller and could be crossed in less time.D．There were more natural water sources available.3. What can we guess about the rest stops in the Gobi Desert?A．Travelers were offered free accommodation.B．They were located around the edges of the desert.C．Travelers staying there were often attacked by criminals.D．They were shared by travelers from different countries.4. What is the passage mainly about?A．The origins of the Silk Road.B．The benefits of the Silk Road.C．The difficulties faced by Silk Road travelers.D．The cultural exchanges among Silk Road travelers.5. Flying to another country can sometimes take several days. But the designer of a futuristic jet (喷气式飞机) says his plane could take you around the world in your lunch break.According to an article in The Sun, the plane, called the Antipode, could carry 10 people and use rocket boosters to go 12 km high. 1 Or it could fly from New York to Shanghai in 24 minutes.An ordinary Boeing 747 has a top speed of 917 km/h. The fastest plane in the world right now is Air Force One. It carries the president of the United States and can reach 1,092 km/h. 2Canadian designer Charles Bombardier says his plane could be 10 times faster than the Concorde, which could fly at 2,180 km/h. The Concorde was the world’s fastest passenger plane between 1976 and 2003. But the Concorde was very noisy and its nose got dangerously hot when it flew. A Concorde crashed in 2000, killing 114 people. 34 It stops the plane from overheating and having the same problems that the Concorde did. New technology, recently tested by NASA, makes the Antipode the perfect shape and weight to fly fast and safely.“It’s always something that people would like a transportation system that could take yo u from one place on the planet to the other side,” Mr. Bombardier told the BBC.5 The design is just a concept and will need more research before it becomes a reality.6. About three years ago, a tornado attacked our town. My father and I _________ to visit my grandparents to make sure they were okay. Upon arrival, I took my regular seat and _________ with Grandma about what was on our mind to pass the time. _________, the power was out and it got dark in what seemed like a matter of minutes.Then, Grandma turned to me and asked with _________ eyes that stared right past me, “Now you’re graduating this year, aren’t you?” As a freshman, I was _________, about this strange question.

Sometimes the third graders didn’t welcome Philip into their group and usually tricked him. This was not because he was older, but because he was “different”. You see, Philip suffered from a condition called Downs’s Syndrome. This made him “different”, with his facial characteristics, slow responses and mental problems.One Sunday after Easter, the Sunday school teacher gathered some plastic eggs that pulled apart in the middle. The teacher gave one to each child. On that beautiful spring day, the children were to go out and discover for themselves some symbol of “new life” and place it inside the plastic eggs.After the children returned to the classroom, the teacher opened their eggs one by one, asking each chil d to explain that symbol of “new life”. The first opened egg contained a flower. Everyone cheered. In another one was a butterfly….When the teacher opened the last egg, it was empty. “That’s stupid,” said someone. The teacher felt a pull at his shirt. It w as Philip. Looking up, Philip said, “It’s mine. I did it. It’s empty. I have new life, because the tomb is empty.” Not a sound was heard in class at all. From that day on, Philip became a real part of the group. They welcomed him, and whatever made him different was never mentioned again.Philip’s family knew he wouldn’t live a long life, for there were too many things wrong with him.26. The underlined word “condition” in the first paragraph probably means ________.A. gradeB. statusC. diseaseD. health27. It can be inferred from the first paragraph that ________.A. The 8-year-olds were friendly to PhilipB. The 8-year-olds were sometimes cruelC. Philip was really different in schoolD. Philip was older and more sensitive28. The teacher gave each child one plastic egg to let them ________.A. put some symbol of “new life” into itB. play around on that beautiful spring dayC. try to pull it apart in the middleD. go out and discover themselves29. After Philip explained his new life, ________.A. The class thought he was clever.B. He began to study in the class.C. The class fell silent.D. He felt dying.30. We learn from the passage that ________.A. The teacher used to have classes outdoorsB. Philip’s new life wish was emptyC. Philip was healthy as a wholeD. Philip was accepted by his classmates in the endBPeople from East Asia tend to have more difficulty than those from Europe in telling facial expressions and a new report published online in Current Biology explains why.Rachael Jack, University of Glasgow researcher, said that rather than scanning evenly(均匀地) across a face as Westerners do, Easterners fix their attention on the eyes."We show that Easterners and Westerners look at different face features to read facial expressions," Jack said. "Westerners look at the eyes and the mouth equally, while Easterners favor the eyes and ignore the mouth." ks5uAccording to Jack and her colleagues, the finding shows that human communication of emotion is more complex than believed before. As a result, facial expressions that had been considered universally recognizable cannot be used to reliably convey(传达) emotion in cross-cultural situations.The researchers studied cultural differences in the recognition of facial expressions by recording the eye movements of 13 Western Caucasian and 13 East Asian people while they observed pictures of expressive faces and put them into types: happy, sad, surprised, fearful, disgusted, angry, or neutral. They compared how accurately the participants(参与者) read those facial expressions using their particular eye movement strategies.It turned out that Easterners paid much greater attention to the eyes and made significantly more errors than Westerners did. "The cultural difference in eye movements that they show is probably a reflection(反映) of cultural difference in facial expressions," Jack said. "Our data suggest that while Westerners use the whole face to express emotion, Easterners use the eyes more and mouth less."In short, the data show that facial expressions are not universal signals of human emotion. From here on, examining how cultural factors have made these basic social skills have greater variety will help our understanding of human emotion. Otherwise, talking of communicating emotions across cultures, Easterners and Westerners will find themselves lost in translation.31. The discovery shows that Westerners _______.A. observe the eyes and the mouth in different waysB. consider facial expressions universally reliableC. pay equal attention to the eyes and the mouthD. have more difficulty in recognizing facial expressions32. What were the people asked to do in the study?A. To classify(分类) some face pictures.B. To get their faces impressive.C. To make a face at each other.D. To observe the researchers' faces.33. What does the underlined word "they" in Paragraph 6 refer to?A. The people taking part in the study.B. The researchers of the study.C. The errors made during the study.D. The data collected from the study.34. Compared with Westerners, Easterners are likely to _______.A. do translation more successfullyB. study the mouth more frequentlyC. read facial expressions more correctlyD. examine the eyes more attentively35. What can be the best title for the passage?A. The Eye is the Window to the SoulB. Cultural Differences in Reading EmotionsC. Effective Methods to Develop Social SkillsD. How to Increase Cross-cultural UnderstandingCHave you ever wondered about people’s names? Where do they come from? What do they mean?People’s first names, or given names, are chosen by their parents. Sometimes the name of a grandparent or other member of the family is used. Some parents choose the name of a well-known person. A boy could be named George Washington Smith; a girl could be named Helen Keller Jones.Some people give their children names that mean good things. Clara means “bright”; Beatrice means “one who gives happiness”; Donald means “world ruler”; Leonard means “as brave as a lion”.The earliest last names, or surnames(姓), were taken from place names. A family with the name Brook or Brooks probably lived near brook(小溪)；someone who was called Longstreet probably lived on a long, paved road. The Greenwood family lived in or near a leafy forest.Other early surnames came from people’s occupations. The most common occupational name is Smith, which means a person who makes things with iron or other metals. In the past, smiths were very important workers in every town and village. Some other occupational names are: Carter — a person who owned or drove a cart; Potter —a person who made pots and pans.The ancestors of the Baker family probably baked bread for their neighbors in their native village. The Carpenter’s great-great-great-grandfather probably built houses and furniture.Sometimes people were known for the color of their hair or skin, or their size, or their special abilities. When there were two men who were named John in the same village, the John with the gray hair probably became John Gray. Or the John who was very tall could call himself John Tallman. John Fish was probably an excellent swimmer and John Lightfoot was probably a fast runner or a good dancer.Some family names were made by adding something to the father’s name. English-speaking people added –s or –son. The Johnsons are descendants of John; the Roberts family’s ancestorwas Robert. Irish and Scottish people added Mac or Mc or O. Perhaps all of the MacDonnells and the McDonnells and the O’Donnells are descendants of the same Donnell.36. Which of the following aspects do the surnames in the passage NOT cover?A. People’s characters.B. Places where people lived.C. Talents that people possessed.D. People’s occupations.37. According to the passage, the ancestors of the Potter family most probably _______.A. owned or drove a cartB. made things with metalsC. built houses and furnitureD. made kitchen tools or containers38. If an English couple whose ancestors lived near a leafy forest wanted their new-bornson to become a world leader, the baby might be named _______.A. Beatrice SmithB. Leonard CarterC. Donald GreenwoodD. George Longstreet39. The underlined word “descendants” in the last paragraph means a person’s _______.A. friends and relativesB. later generationsC. colleagues and partnersD. later sponsors40. What does this passage mainly talk about?A. The origin of English names.B. The kinds of English names.C. How parents give their children names.D. How names affect one’s life.DSAN FRANCISCO —In the western U.S., Hawaii and elsewhere across the globe, moon watchers were treated on Saturday to a rare celestial(星体) phenomenon: a total lunar eclipse (月全食).For about 50 minutes starting at 6:06 a.m. PST, the moon was completely blocked by the Earth's shadow.With only some indirect sunlight able to reach it after passing through the Earth's atmosphere, the moon took on a reddish weak light. Since the atmosphere scatters(分散) blue light, only red light strikes the moon, giving it a dark red color.Dally Sam, who runs a public relations firm in Hawaii, said it had been cloudy and rainy, but the weather cleared just in time for the eclipse.Around 3 a.m., he awoke, as he usually does, and remembered to step outside the house in time to catch the beginning of the eclipse about a half hour later. No one else in the neighborhood was up then."It was turning that dark red color," Sayre, aged 47, said, "I’d better get a camera. To be able to see it just right outside our house was really cool."At the local observatory in Los Angeles, some 300 people, many holding coffee cups in the cold morning air, sat with blankets and chairs on the observatory's great grass land."It's really a celestial festival out here," John Peter, aged 39, told the Los Angeles Times as he set up his camera.Lying on a slope(斜坡) north of downtown near the Hollywood sign, the place offers clear views of the sky. Observatory officials reminded the crowd when the eclipse began and big applause burst when the celestial event ended.A total lunar eclipse occurs when the moon goes through the long shadow cast by the Earth and is blocked from the sunlight that brightens it. ks5u41. What do we know about the lunar eclipse from the passage?A. The total lunar eclipse began at about 3:30 a.m..B. The total lunar eclipse ended at about 6:56 a.m..C. The lunar eclipse ended at about 6:56 in the evening.D. The lunar eclipse began at about 6:06 in the evening.42. When a total lunar eclipse occurs, ________.A. the moon looks blueB. the light will hurt our eyesC. nothing of the moon can be seen except some dark red light around its placeD. another planet comes between the earth and the moon43. We can infer from Para 5 that at 3:30 a.m. Dally Sam ______.A. found it was still raining heavilyB. saw a total lunar eclipseC. went out walking as he usually doesD. still had to wait for a long time to see a total lunar eclipse44. According to the last paragraph, which of the statement is wrong?A. A total lunar eclipse occurs when the moon is blocked by the sun.B. The source of moonlight is from the sun.C. The earth comes between the moon and the sun when a total lunar eclipse appears.D. With the sunlight, the earth casts its shadow over the moon.45. What is the main purpose of the passage?A. To inform us of the next total lunar eclipse.B. To tell us about a rare celestial event.C. To alert us of the natural disaster.D. To draw people’s attention to the news.第二节信息匹配 (共5小题；每小题2分,满分10分)阅读下列应用文及相关信息,并按照要求匹配信息.请在答题卡上将对应题号地相应选项字母涂黑.阅读以下学校各社团地介绍,并按照要求匹配信息.A.Photography Club --- We are looking for artistically inclined studentsto join our new club.

广东省高一下学期期末英语试卷(附答案)

广东省高一下学期期末英语试卷(附答案）学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________一、阅读理解There’s a day for just about everything, and the United Nations has designated May 20 as World Bee Day to celebrate the pollinators (传粉昆虫) dwelling in hives, fields and gardens around the globe since 2015. It draws much concern on bees and there’s a good reason to pay attention to them.“There are 20,000 species of bees around the world and a lot of these bees are in decline,” says Hien Ngo, a pollinator expert from the UN’s Food and Agriculture Organization. That includes honeybees, of course, but Ngo says they only make up a minority of all the kinds of bees in the world. Climate change, pesticides and habitat loss are putting many of those species a risk.“Bees really provide for us in many ways, like food and human well-being. They’re also important to our culture, dating back thousands of years in terms of heritage, inspiration of art,” Ngo says. They even provide inspiration for TikTok, where Erika Thompson，a professional beekeeper in Austin,Texas, shares her work.“The landlord wanted to call an exterminator (根除者), but the family who lived here wanted to save the bees, so they called me,” she says in her video.Her fans watch with happiness — and sometimes a little horror-as she picks up mounds (成堆) of bees with her bare hands and then moves them somewhere safer.“I’ve removed bees from a lot of crazy places,” Thompson says. “You know, I’ve removed bees from homes, RVs, tires, speakers and even a toilet.”Thompson’s work is about more than getting millions of views per video. “Bees are just a key factor in creating diverse and healthy ecosystems,” she notes. 1．What can we know about World Bee Day?A．It has a long history of hundreds of years.B．It is celebrated on May 22 every year.C．It is designated by the United Kingdom.D．People pay more attention to bees because of it.2．Which factor that makes many bees in danger is NOT mentioned?A．The change of climate. B．The shortage of food.C．The damage to their habitat. D．The application of pesticides. 3．What’s Ngo’s attitude towards celebrating World Bee Day? A．Unconcerned. B．Neutral (中立的).C．Negative. D．Supportive.4．What’s the best title for the text?A．A Video-on BeesB．How to Celebrate World Bee Day?C．Why Should We Celebrate World Bee Day?D．How Can We Human Beings Protect Bees?I live in central London. It’s crowded. I see tons of people every day. The Uber driver. The office workers at rush hour. The cashiers at Sainsbury’s ... Deep in my thoughts, I encounter and interact with people mindlessly like a robot sometimes, without giving it much thought. It’s becoming rare for me to make spontaneous (自发的) friendships.My mom was and still is the queen of spontaneous friendships. She is the kind of person who will talk to a cashier and know her life story, talk to a sales assistant and become her friend, and talk to a man sitting nearby, get his number and have me visiting his workplace to get advice on job hunting. These mindless chats have brought her many friends, and they have also solved many problems. I can’t remember how many times she did her magic and pulled herself out of a bad situation. Sometimes I wish I could be more like her. But on reflection, it’s something I can practice and you can too.For me to change, I had to make a habit of some sort. Here are the three affirmations (肯定) I tell myself every day to be more open to people.We are all fellow humans. We are all in this world together so we might as well be friendly and make a connection with a fellow human.Today is going to be a great day. Maybe I’ll meet someone who will make my day.I might be saved by a stranger. I might even meet my future employer before evenapplying.Opportunities are created by people. Whether it is a job or anything else, opportunities come from people talking to each other.So next time you get your coffee, ride with a driver, wait in line or even sit in the underground, don’t be afraid to interact with a stranger. It will affect their day; it will affect yours and you might get to that opportunity or solution that was lying in them, waiting to be found.5．Why does the author say that he is like a robot?A．He has to work hard.B．He is as smart as a robot.C．He has little time to enjoy his life.D．He seldom makes a connection with strangers.6．What do we know about the author’s mother?A．She has good people skills. B．She is fond of giving advice. C．She has strong belief in magic. D．She is unaware of her privacy concerns. 7．What did the author think about what his mother did?A．It was helpful to her. B．It was none of her business.C．It should be more spontaneous. D．It failed to solve any problems. 8．What does the author suggest?A．Staying away from strangers.B．Keeping in touch with your old friends.C．Communicating with those you encounter.D．Avoiding sharing personal information with others.On James Owen’s 70th birthday, he saw a video of himself bending the top of his body forward and raising his shoulders and back and walking slowly up to the platform where he was giving a talk. “I looked like an old man,”says Owen,who builta successful career on Wall Street. Even worse, he felt like an old man. He was about25 pounds overweight and had trouble with his back, knees and shoulders.Later, instead of giving in to age, Owen decided to set an ambitious five-yeargoal.He wanted to be pain-free, and he decided the way to get there was through exercise-even though at the time he couldn’t do a single push-up. Owen began walking though he was out of breath after five minutes. But that didn’t discourage him. He kept at the walks every day, along with some stretching. Once he had those basics down,he started lifting weights and hired a personal trainer to teach him and design a routine he could follow on his own. The last piece was finding other activities he enjoyed,which turned out to be cycling and swimming.In less than five years, Owen was able to do three sets of 50 push-ups each and walk for miles each day. And yes,he was free of aches and pains“Aging is only about 25% genes, and the rest is lifestyle,“he says.“As long as you’re still mobile, it’s never too late to become more healthy.”Owen used his experience to write a book called Just Move! A New Approach to Fitness After 50,in which he details how older adults can safely get off the couch and add more movement to their lives. He says,“Think of it as movement not exercise.Get started even if you walk just three blocks, which was all I could manage at first.”He adds,“The key is slow and steady progress. Not every investment pays off,but it is the best investment I’ve ever made in my life.”9．What can we learn about Owen from the video?A．He was a tough guy.B．He was in bad physical condition.C．He was overweight but straight in shape.D．He was wealthy and enthusiastic about exercise.10．Why did Owen decide to set a five-year goal?A．To relieve pain.B．To lose weight.C．To write a book.D．To encourage investment.11．Which of the following does Owen agree with?A．It’s better to get started earlier.B．Genes play a key role in anti-aging.C．Healthy lifestyle is vital in delaying aging.D．Exercise quickly promotes physical recovery.12．What can be concluded from the text?A．Bad news has wings. B．A good medicine tastes bitter. C．Don’t judge a book by its cover. D．It is never too old to work out.It appears that language can have a fascinating effect on the way we think about time and space. A growing number of experts believe language can influence how we think just as our thoughts and culture can shape how language develops.Cognitive scientist Lera Boroditsky, one of the pioneers of research into how language manipulates our thoughts, has shown that English speakers typically view time as a horizontal (平的) line. They tend to view time as travelling from left to right, most likely in line with how you are reading the text on this page.Languages also encode (编码) time in their grammar. In English, the future is one of three simple tenses, along with the past and the present — we say “it rained”, “it rains” and “it will rain”. But in German, you can say Morgen regnet, which means “it rains tomorrow”— you don’t need to build the future into the grammar.But does this affect how we think? In 2013, Keith Chen, a behavioral economist at the University of California, set out to test whether people who speak languages that are “futureless” might feel closer to the future than those who speak other languages. For example, German, Chinese, and Japanese have no linguistic barrier between the present and the future, while “futured languages” , such as English, French, Italian and Spanish, encourage speakers to view the future as something separate from the present.He discovered that speakers of futureless languages were more likely to engage in future-focused activities. They were 31% more likely to have put money into savings in any given year and had gained 39% more wealth by retirement. They were also 24% less likely to smoke and 29% more likely to be physically active.It is becoming increasingly clear that language is influencing how we think about the world around us, which is not to say that any one language is “better” thananother. But being aware of how languages differ can help you think, navigate and communicate better. And while being multilingual (多语的) won’t necessarily make you a genius, we all can gain a more flexible understanding of the world by learning a new language.13．What does the underlined word “manipulates” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A．Weakens. B．Shapes. C．Impacts. D．Deepens. 14．How does the author organize paragraph 3?A．By listing figures. B．By giving examples.C．By giving definitions. D．By explaining the reasons.15．What were speakers of futureless languages likely to do?A．Smoke and drink.B．Be mentally active.C．Spend money without restriction.D．Take part in future-focused activities.16．What does the author intend to tell us in the last paragraph?A．One language is much better than another.B．Being multilingual can help you become a genius.C．Learning a new language can change your way of life.D．Language has an impact on how we think about the world.二、七选五Now I live in Paris. Actually, I don’t mind the food or the people, but I do care about the land that is extraordinarily lack of characteristics of hiking. I enjoy being outdoors and hiking, but Paris’s natural resources don’t hold much potential for my bent. So when my dad asked if I wanted to go hiking with him, I was overjoyed. 17 . It turned out that I was too optimistic.We started our main hike up Flattop Mountain. As we hiked it was much more challenging than I expected. 18 . The path is winding and we saw mountains towering over the green valleys and cliffs that seemed endless. What amazed me most was that thick clouds enveloped the mountainsides. 19 .I stared up at the top to see how much farther we had to go and I began to worrythat I wouldn’t finish it. 20 . It made me doubtful about my persistence (坚持). But when we looked back at the path that faded in the distance, I was filled with fulfillment with seeing how much we had done.As I was hiking, I started to reflect on how hiking was similar to other aspects of my life. 21 . It reminded me of my struggles in my classes and the difficulties I had to overcome. I spotted that the process of learning isn’t always the most fun, but the fulfillment after seeing how much I had finished just increases the thirst for knowledge, causing me to long for more learning. Looking down at the mountain I was content but never fully satisfied. Having considered a lot, I was determined to pursue the summit (山顶).A．Hiking could make me fly.B．Hiking gave time for my mind to wander.C．I thought I would finish the journey with ease.D．But I was shocked at the beauty surrounding me.E．I was satisfied with the landscape along the way.F．It was unlike anything I had ever witnessed before.G．A recent ankle injury had left me unsure of my physical capabilities.三、完形填空A seven-year-old boy has become one of the youngest people to cycle from Londonto him.Rupert’s life was 32 forever when his Dad passed away in 2019. As Rupert was only four at the time, it was 33 for him to understand what had happened. With the arrival of the coronavirus pandemic, it ended up being a really 34 time for Rupert and his Mum. That was when the Children’s Bereavement Centre cameto help. They taught Rupert to 35 some of the emotions he was feeling and also 36 him to other children so that he felt less 37 .With some help from his Mum, Rupert decided to 38 this challenge to raise lots of money for the Centre so they can support more families. “We are absolutely 39 that Rupert has decided to do so.

As one of the largest and most famous comedy festivals in the world, it features some of the best stand-up comedians in the world. The festival has won a number of awards, including being named one of the top ten international events by CNN Travel in 2021.Rio CarnivalThe Rio Carnival takes place every year in February and is known for its dynamic colorful costumes and lively atmosphere.

According to Alm, each diagnosis(诊断)is unique. That can make it difficult to understand a child’s learning needs. Alm has recently co-founded Dyslexia Road with three other moms whose children also have dyslexia.The nonprofit organization provides learning resources for children who have the learning disability.Dyslexia means a person has trouble processing written words due to the difficulty of identifying speech sounds. Alm explains that people with dyslexia need more assistance in training their brain to read. But she adds that many people with dyslexia are extremely creative and smart. Whoopi Goldberg, Dav Pilkey and Steven Spielberg are among the famous Americans who have dyslexia.For Alm, the biggest challenge dealing with dyslexia with her own children is the stigma surrounding the topic. She believes that it’s helpful to have open and honest discussions. “Dyslexia is nothing good or bad, ”she says.“ So children don’t need to feel shameful and embarrassed.”Alm and the other co-founders of Dyslexia Road host community events to share resources about dyslexia. On March 2, the organization celebrated its launch with a community gathering. Many people turned up, suggesting to Alm the “power of community”. Dyslexia Road will also host three additional events to connect families with learning experts. Guests will discuss the available educational options, how to get a diagnostic evaluation and more. Additionally, the Dyslexia Road website offers resources like books.“We’re excited to get out there and start pushing forward so that people can come together and figure out how to direct this journey,” Alm says.4．What do the co-founders of Dyslexia Road have in common?A．Their kids are unique and perfect.B．Their kids have the same problem.C．They suffer from learning disability.D．They ignore children’s learning needs.5．What does Alm suggest doing for people with dyslexia?A．Helping them do more brain exercises.B．Making them realise they lack creativity.C．Creating special reading materials for them.D．Encouraging them to turn to their own families.6．What does the underlined word “stigma” in paragraph 4 mean?A．Shame.B．Selection.C．Principle D．Origin.7．What’s the purpose of hosting the three additional events?A．To find out kids with dyslexia.B．To provide the professional servicesC．To sell books about mental disability.D．To introduce great people with dyslexia.“Long time no see.” is a very interesting sentence. When I first read this sentence from an American friend’s e-mail, I laughed. I thought it was a perfect example of Chinglish.Obviously, it is a word-by-word literal translation (直译) of the Chinese greeting with wrong English grammar! Later on, my friend told me that it is a standard American greeting. I was too surprised to believe her. Her words were unbelievable at all. So I did research on . To my surprise, there are over 60 thousand web pages containing “Long time no see.” Though it is sort of informal, it is part of the language that Americans use daily. Interestingly, if you type this phrase in Microsoft Word, the software will tell you that the grammar needs to be corrected.Nobody knows the origin of this Chinglish sentence. Some people believe that it came fromCharlie Chan’s movies. In the 1930s, Hollywood moviemakers successfully created a worldwide famous Chinese detective named “Charlie Chan” on wide screens. Detective Chan liked to teach Americans some Chinese wisdom by quoting Confucius. “Long time no see.” was his symbol. Soon after Charlie Chan, “Long time no see.” became a popular expression in America thanks to the popularity of these movies.Some scholars compare America to a huge melting pot. All kinds of cultures are mixed in the pot together and they change the color and taste of each other. Language is usually the first thing to be influenced in the mixed pot.You can have some examples from other countries, such as pizza from Italian, sushi from Japanese, and déjà vu from French etc. There is a long list! Since Americans admire Chinese culture more and more nowadays, I believe more Chinese words will become American English in the future. In this way, the American’s melting pot keeps adding richness.8．Why did the writer himself feel surprised?A．“Long time no see.” is a Chinglish expression.B．He’s found Americans use the expression formally every day.C．So many literal translations of expressions are used in America.D．“Longtime no see.” is used as a standard American English greeting.9．What do the underlined words “a huge melting pot” in paragraph 4 probably mean?A．A large boiling cooker.B．Cross-cultural mixture.C．A kind of cooked dish.D．Confucius’s famous words.10．What can be inferred from the passage?A．Detectives translated the phrase “Long time no see.”B．Cultures cannot be changed in the huge melting pot.C．Hollywood probably made “Longtime no see.” popular.D．The huge melting pot greatly affects all kinds of languages.11．What is the main idea of the passage?A．Some American expressions can be used in China.B．Americans have a strong interest in Chinese culture.C．American English keeps being enriched by different cultures.D．Some Chinese daily expressions are introduced into English.Tanzanian government has set up a high-speed internet service on Mount Kilimanjaro, which was named a World Heritage site in 1987. The government says the service will promote safety for climbers and allow people to post selfies as they climb Africa’s tallest mountain at 5,895 meters.The mountain, created by volcanoes and rising out of a large, open flat area, is part of Kilimanjaro National Park in the northeast of Tanzania. Around 50,000 people visit the park each year. But climbing such a tall mountain isn’t easy. Roughly one-third of the people who try to climb it are forced to give up. The new internet service should make it easier for climbers to reach the top. They can use the internet to check maps and find their way, or call for help if they need it.Currently, the new service reaches more than halfway up the mountain.The government says that by the end of the year, climbers will get internet even at the top of Mount Kilimanjaro.The government says safety is the main reason for setting up the internet service on the mountain. As Tanzania depends heavily on tourists, having people post pictures and videos on social media as they climb Mount Kilimanjaro could certainly make the spot even more popular with tourists.Some people in Tanzania are upset that the government is focusing on internet for tourists instead of the livelihood of people living in the country. One study in 2020 showed that only about 83% of the people living in Tanzania can get cell phone service where they live. It also bothered people who were worried that the project might affect the environment on the mountain. Scientists have already warned that the glaciers on top of Mount Kilimanjaro may melt in the next 10 years. So far, the cable car project doesn’t seem to be making much progress.12．What can we know about Mount Kilimanjaro?A．It is formed by volcanoes.B．It’s a hot place on social media.C．It tries to be a World Heritage site.D．It’s tallest mountain in the world.13．What’s the internet service meant to do?A．To better protect the environment.B．To show the importance of the Net.C．To help its people connect better.D．To improve the safety of climbers.14．What has mad some people in Tanzania unhappy with the internet service?A．Environmental concern.B．Livelihood of the citizens.C．The poor state of the country.D．International dissatisfaction.15．Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A．Internet Service Benefits Natives and Visitors.B．Mount Kilimanjaro Becomes More Accessible.C．Opinions Differ With the Internet Access in Kilimanjaro.D．Safety Measures Free Visitors From Safety Concerns.根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
