Here are some of the best places to see the northern lights around the world.Tromso, NorwayTromso is right in the center of the Norwegian Arctic aurora zone. This city has the best northern light views from September to April. Travelers can stay in Thon Hotel Tromso, a mid-range hotel that offers viewing spots on the roof deck.Thon Hotel Tromso rate: Starts at $111 per nightBest activity besides viewing the northern lights: Husky ToursOrkney, ScotlandOrkney is 10 miles from the remote northern coast of Scotland and is one of the best locations to view the Aurora Borealis in the UK.

Travelers can expect to see the Northern Lights from late August to April. One of the best bucket list (愿望清单) experiences is watching the light show from Santa’s Hotel Aurora.Kakslauttanen Artic Resort Glass Igloos: Starts at $484 per nightSanta’s Hotel Aurora: Starts at S121 per nightYellowknife, CanadaYellowknife sits at the center of the Aurora Oval, with the best views from mid-November to early April. Aurora Village tours are also available for viewing the northern lights, with free pick-up from hotels around the area.Aurora Village tour: Starts at $100 per personAurora Village Hotel package: Rates differ during fall and winter.1．Which place has the longest season of viewing the Northern Lights?A．Tromso.B．Orkney.C．Lapland.D．Yellowknife.2．What can tourists do in both Tromso and Lapland?A．Live in an ice house.B．Walk along the beach.C．View the Northern Lights from the hotel.D．Enjoy sightseeing tours around the area. 3．Where is this text probably taken from?A．An encyclopedia.B．A travel brochure.C．A geographic textbook.D．A journal.In 1240, the Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II built Castel del Monte on a lonely hill in central Puglia, where he had a perfect view of approaching enemies. He probably never imagined the enemies might be tourists one day. But these days, the old castle has been polished clean, and hundreds of multicolored Pullman buses snake up the winding roads to its grounds, now filled with T-shirt stands, Coca-Cola signs and a 200-car parking lot. All this thanks to the fact that UNESCO has designated (认定) it a World Heritage Site in 1996.Officially, UNESCO honors places that exemplify an area’s ancestry, with the purpose of ensuring they are preserved. Unofficially, this designation is a kind of fairy dust that often turns little-known cultural sites into overnight tourist sensations. This is both a gift and a cuss. Lisa Mastny, senior adviser to the World Watch Institute, says tourism is double-edged for places considered of “outstanding value to humanity. It offers many poor communities the chance to obtain financial rewards, but also threatens the very resources —human and natural—upon which the industry is ultimately built”.There is growing awareness that assigning UNESCO designation is worthless — or worse, harmful — without some kind of follow-up preservation program. “In the early days there wasn’t much attention given to what would happen once these site s became World Heritage. But that’s changing slowly,” says Joseph King, director of the sites unit at the International Centre for the Study of the Preservation and Restoration of Cultural Property (ICCROM). In Africa, a 12-year training program is currently underway to teach locals not only how to preserve their immovablecultural heritage, but how to use it for economic development. In Eastern Europe, where tourism is a relatively new thing, cities are looking for help in figuring out where to draw the line between preserving historical centers and promoting urban development.4．What can we learn about Castel del Monte?A．It was built to enjoy the view.B．It has become a hot tourist spot.C．It has to make way for a shopping mall.D．It failed to win UNESCO designation in 1996.5．Which word is closest in meaning to the underlined word “cuss” in paragraph 2?A．Solution.B．Promise.C．Drawback.D．Chance.6．How does the author support King’s words in the last paragraph?A．By quoting experts.B．By analyzing cause and effect.C．By giving examples.D．By making comparisons.7．What is the best title for the text?A．Is UNESCO Helpful in Driving Global Tourism?B．How Can a Place Be Included in the UNESCO List?C．Why Is It Important to Market World Heritage Site Tours?D．Does Identifying World Heritage Sites Do More Harm Than Good?For any spaceman hoping to survive on the surface of the moon, growing crops will be important. Now, scientists have taken “one small step” towards growing plants on the lunar surface, after showing it’s possible to grow thale cress, a small flowering plant, in the lunar soil.The findings raise hopes that plants could be grown on the moon during future space missions(任务), and even enable mankind to set up a lunar settlement. “For future, longer space missions, we may use the moon as a launching platform(平台),” explained Professor Rob Ferl. “It makes sense that we would want to use the soil that’s already there to grow plants.” Until now, scientists have not grown plants in the soil. “So, what happens when you grow plants in the lunar soil? What would plants do in a lunar greenhouse? Could we have lunar farmers?” Professor Ferl questioned.To answer these questions, researchers from Florida set out to plant thale cress seeds in the lunar soil, add water, nutrients and light, and see what happened. The researchers chose to usethale cress because its genetic code(基因序列)has already been fully mapped. For comparison, the researchers also planted seeds in a range of soils, including those that are similar to the Martian soil. To their delight, the researchers found that nearly all of the seeds grew. However, they did observe differences between the plants grown in the lunar soil and those grown in the control soils. Some of the plants grown in the lunar soil were smaller, while others grew more slowly or were more varied in size.Growing plants in the lunar soil may also change the moon itself, according to Dr. Stephen Elardo. “The moon is a very, very dry place,” he said. How will minerals in the lunar soil respond to having a plant grown in them, with the added water and nutrients? Will adding water make the minerals friendlier to plants? The researchers hope to answer these questions in follow-up studies. 8．What’s the second paragraph mainly about?A．The plants grown in the lunar soil.B．The significance of the findings.C．The missions of future space exploration.D．The hope for setting up a lunar settlement.9．Why did researchers use thale cress in the experiment?A．Its genes are suitable for the lunar soil.B．People have a good knowledge of its genes.C．It has been tested with the lunar soil before.D．It has a long evolutionary history.10．What did researchers find about the plants grown in the lunar soil?A．They absorbed few minerals.B．They grew slowly in the dark.C．They didn’t grow well enough.D．They needed more water to grow bigger.11．What is the best title for the text?A．Preparing for Farming on the MoonB．Conducting a Study on the Lunar SoilC．Growing Plants in the Lunar SoilD．Making the Lunar Soil Friendlier to PlantsIt’s said that about one third of the world’s citizens live in substandard housing. But researchers have created free plans now available online for building houses using pre-made parts that fit together perfectly, which could help solve this housing problem.The world population is expected to grow to more than 8 billion by 2030, and the housing situation in city is already a huge problem. Building new homes in the traditional way still takes weeks or months.In a London neighborhood, a group of volunteers are constructing a house made of pre-made plywood panels (预制胶合板面板) and parts, the so-called WikiHouse. All parts were precisely cut in a Computer Numerical Control, or CNC machine, following a free plan downloaded from the Internet.Founder of the UK-based on WikiHouse Foundation, architectural designer Alastair Parvin, said this could be the solution for affordable housing. WikiHouse is essentially a series of technologies we’re developing aimed at simplifying the process of making really sustainable high-performance houses to a point where almost anyone can do it.Precise cutting allows a perfect fit for all parts, which speeds up the process of assembly (装配). No special tools are required. The WikiHouse was built in 10 days for exhibition purposes. Then, it was taken apart and reassembled elsewhere for permanent use.“Open-source (开源)software is now really established; it drives a lot of the software we use,” Parvin said. “What's happening now is that that's coming into the world of physical things, so we're effectively building a kind of Wikipedia for physical material.”Parvin said the project is in its early stages, with limited availability. But he said he expects it to grow as more people start showing interest in houses whose assembly requires no special skills.12．What does the author think of the housing situation in urban centers?A．Serious.B．Acceptable.C．Good.D．Common. 13．Why is Alastair Parvin developing Wiki- House?A．Because it looks more beautiful.B．Because it saves the trouble of designing.C．Because workers are fond of the work.D．Because it makes the process of making houses simple.14．Which is one of the advantages of the WikiHouse?A．It is solid.B．It takes up little room.C．It saves time.D．It is environmentally friendly. 15．Judging from the last two paragraphs, we know_.A．Parvin is cautious about using open-source softwareB．Parvin thinks WikiHouse technology is matureC．Parvin is optimistic about the future of WikiHouseD．Parvin is trying his best to make Wiki-House cheaperNowadays we spend a lot of time on computers, phones and televisions.

河南省驻马店市新蔡县第一高级中学2023-2024学年高一下学期6月月考英语试题
河南省驻马店市新蔡县第一高级中学2023-2024学年高一下学期6月月考英语试题一、阅读理解When we’re in trouble, we always turn to our parents for help. But would you like them to hear the conversations you have with your friends on the school playground or lunch queue? Social networking sites have become extensions (延伸) of the school hallways, so would you add your parents as “friends” and allow them to view your online activities and conversations with friends?In the past the generation gap included a technology gap, where children were up to date with the latest technology and parents were left behind, content to continue their day-to-day lives as they always had because they had no need to know more about technology. However, more and more parents are beginning to realize just how important social networks are in their lives. This realization has given many parents the motivation (动机) to educate themselves about social networking sites.These days many people are attracted to social networking sites because they can choose who they have around them, there’s also a certain amount of control over privacy (隐私) that we don’t get in real life. Sometimes we feel that privacy is violated (违背) when we must accept a “friend” request from a parent or family member.It’s a difficult choice whether or not to allow a parent to become a part of our online lives. On the one hand we don’t want to “refuse” their request because that might hurt their feelings or make them feel you have something to hide. On the other hand if you do accept, then you could have a sense of being watched and no longer feel free to comment or communicate the way you did before.A recent survey suggested that parents shouldn’t take it personally if their children overlook (忽略) their requests. When a teenager overlooks a parent’s friend request, it doesn’t necessarily mean that he is hiding something, but it could mean that this is one part of his life where he wants to be independent.Perhaps talking with parents and explaining would help soften the blow if you do choosenot to add them to your friend list.1．What can we infer from Paragraph 2?A．Parents feel se cure about their privacy online.B．Parents have realized the importance of social networks.C．Social networks successfully fill the generation gap.D．Social networks offer a chance for parents to communicate.2．What maybe the reason for teenagers to refuse a parent’s friend request?A．Their parents make negative comments on them.B．They hide something from their parents.C．Their parents tend to fall behind in technology.D．They are unwilling to be watched by parents.3．What does this overlook of a parent’s friend request by a teenager potentially indicate?A．The teenager is hiding something from his parents.B．The teenager does not respect his parents’ requests.C．The teenager wants to be independent in certain aspects of his life.D．The teenager is unfamiliar with the use of social media.4．What is the passage mainly about?A．Parents’ friend requests.B．Privacy online.C．The generation gap.D．Social networks.Tea culture is varied in different countries by the way tea is made and drunk, and by the places for tea drinking. How to make tea may be different. According to the ways of making tea, tea is classified into white tea, green tea, black tea, etc. And how to prepare tea may be different, too. In Tibet, tea is commonly boiled with salt and butter. People may drink tea at home or in public, for example, at tea houses.As part of culture, tea has a relationship with history, health, education, communication and so on. It is commonly used at social activities. For example, afternoon tea is a British custom. Families or friends can communicate with each other while having afternoon tea.Tea has remained a way of daily life in China and drinking tea has a lot of advantages. It makes people less tired, clears heat in the human body and helps people lose weight.Chinese people are good at using tea to make other things delicious. Tea, originally served as a medicine in ancient times, is now not just a kind of drink, but also excellent seasoning (调味品). Here are two delicious dishes made with tea:Tea Eggs: You can find them cooked and sold in street markets in almost every city in China. Dragon Well Tea Shrimp (龙井虾仁). It’s one of the most well-known dishes in Hangzhou. Before you drink tea please check the following tips:◆Drink tea hot.◆The best time to drink is in between meals. It is bad for your stomach if you drink tea just before meals, during meals or soon after meals.◆Do not drink too much strong tea.5．Which of the following is similar to the underlined phrase “classified into”?A．carry out B．sort out C．turn into D．burst into 6．Afternoon tea in Britain is a ___________ according to the passage.A．weekend activity B．hobby C．way ofcommunication D．game7．In ancient China, tea was originally served as ___________ according to the pas-sage.A．a drink B．a dish C．seasoning D．a medicine8．The passage doesn’t mention ___________.A．ways of making tea B．places to drink teaC．tools for drinking tea D．advantages of drinking teaIn a world where nearly 6 million fingerprint records of government employees are stolen in one computer hack, and where millions of people are victims of identity theft every year, the next step in cyber-security may well be mapping your brain.Researchers at Binghamton University are working on a biometric (生物特征的) system that records how your brain reacts to certain images. With a little more polishing, the scientists’ brainchild could become the way you get into a safe deposit box, your office or past scanners at the airport. It could replace the password for your online banking, your e-mail or your social media accounts.They started their project by measuring the brain waves of 30 subjects. The subjects werefitted with a cap that had 30 electrodes attached to it, and then shown various images and symbols — celebrity faces, words, pictures of food — on a computer screen in 200-millisecond bursts. The brain’s reaction was recorded.The idea is that every time a person needs to use a “password”, he or she goes through the same procedure, and the results are matched to their first-time reaction. If the “brainprint” is cracked — like what happened to the fingerprint records — then the system is merely reset by running another set of images and collecting a different set of brain waves.“Even if that was stolen, you could just cancel it and record one to something else”, says professor Laszlo.Laszlo and her team have shown that their system can be 100 per cent accurate. So one of the most difficult parts of making the system practical already has been overcome. Now, they’re spending much time recording accurate brainprints with as few as three electrodes, which could make recording in the future as easy as wearing a pair of special glasses. They’re also working with cheaper materials and different methods to see if they can bring the cost down.9．What does the underlined word “brainchild” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A．The brain function.B．The biometric system.C．The fingerprint record.D．The online password.10．Why were the images and symbols shown to the subjects?A．To match brainprints with pictures.B．To check the brain’s reaction.C．To create their brainprints.D．To connect brain waves to electrodes. 11．What will happen when a brainprint fails?A．A new one will be set again.B．A spare one will be ready beforehand.C．The users’ security will be threatened.D．The fingerprint record will replace it. 12．What are the researchers doing with the programme now?A．Improving its accuracy.B．Making it user-friendly.C．Recording more brainprints.D．Increasing the number of electrodes.If you’re a teen artist, this is the perfect challenge for you.

That means we can change our path. 16 , individual actions matter, too. Here are some individual actions that can make a positive impact.17 . First, be mindful of your meat. Cows create a lot of methane (甲烷), a significant driver of global climate change. One study found replacing beef with almost anythingelse for one meal a day can cut a person’s dietary carbon footprint by 48%. Then, address your food waste. Cut down on what you throw away and watch out for single-use items like coffee beans whose production produces greenhouse gases.Extend product lifespan (寿命). 18 . Shoes, clothes, furniture and even some electronics can be repaired to extend their life and keep waste out of landfills.Switch to electric cooking. Not only is gas-powered cooking releasing harmful chemicals into the environment, but it could be contributing to health problems for you if you’re cooking indoors. 19 .Plant trees where you can. Trees can help control temperatures and improve air quality.20 . Local wildlife organizations often have lists of plants with neutral (中性的) or positive impacts on local flora and fauna (动植物群).A．Eat more sustainablyB．Fix what you have instead of replacing itC．The time it gives you back this fall is an added bonusD．As climate change causes temperatures in many areas to riseE．Just make sure the plants you’re adding are approved for your areaF．Plus, research has shown some gas stoves can leak pollutants even when they’re off G．While governments and businesses have a key role to play in addressing climate change二、完形填空Nick was troubled and aimless. Then one night, everything changed.At first, it was just faint light as Nick drove past a two-story house. Then he realized the house was on fire. He immediately pulled up to investigate. 21 was climbing up the front porch. Hurrying out of the 22 , he yelled, “Help, fire!” A car drove past and Nick tried to 23 it to stop, but in vain.He ran to the back door, sure it would be 24 . To his amazement, it swung open. Without 25 , Nick ran inside, peering into rooms to see if anyone was home. He had just started climbing when he 26 and saw four faces emerge at the top of the stairs. After Nick’s warning, they came pouring down and rushed out.“Anybody else in there?” Nick asked. When told a 6-year-old was still in, he ran back. By now, thewhole house was in flames. The smell was 27 . The smoke was thick. He lifted his T-shirt to cover his mouth and nose. As he hesitated, he heard the kid crying 28 . Nick stumbled into the blackness, 29 on smoke. His 30 stayed alert as he moved toward the sound. Then suddenly the kid was in front of him and Nick quickly grabbed her into his arms. The flames were 31 even closer. Nick took a few steps 32 and threw himself out of the window. Outside, the firefighters had arrived. He handed over the girl — crying, but miraculously uninjured 33 a cut on her arm — before collapsing on the sidewalk.Nick’s burns have mostly healed, but other changes have been far greater.

Temperatures are much lower and the dew (露水) is 37 (great) at this time.Here are three things you should know about Cold Dew. Firstly, 38 (eat) pomegranates (石榴) and hawthorns (山楂) that are both ripe during Cold Dew is a tradition. Pomegranates 39 (treasure) for their health benefits while hawthorns are thought to improve blood flow. Besides, Chrysanthemum (菊花) is the symbolic flower of Cold Dew. 40 (prevent) autumn dryness, people in China have the custom of drinking chrysanthemum wine. This is also a tradition of the Double Ninth Festival, 41 often falls around Cold Dew. Finally, it is 42 great time for fishing. 43 the Cold Dew period, temperatures decrease quickly and sunshine doesn’t reach deep water entirely. So fish usually swim to the area where the water is not deep and the temperature is 44 (relative) high. That is why people always say that fishing in shallow water areas in autumn 45 (make) sense.四、书面表达46．为了增强学生环境保护意识，你校学生会将举办一次征文比赛，题目为“Let’s join forces to protect our planet’s _________ ”。

He may be an attractive movie star, but there’s more to Josh Duhamel than a pretty face. The 40-year-old actor led a youth charity fun run for the third year running on Sunday, in aid of the Red Cross giving a hand to countries and places suffering natural disasters.Josh sported the charity’s T-shirt and black baseball cap with black jogging bottoms as he joined a group of youngsters in the two-mile effort on Santa Monica Beach. Josh was clearly enjoying himself today, sprinting (冲刺) across the finish line raising both arms in a victory salute.In March last year and January of 2010, Josh led thousands of runners and raised over $200,000 for both Japanese and Haitian earthquake relief efforts. And donations collected at this year’s Youth Run will go towards the American Red Cross PrepareSoCal campaign which helps Southern Californians get ready for disasters.“I do the youth run because I feel that younger people may not be able to donate a lot of money but that doesn’t mean that they can’t contribute and make a difference,” Josh told the Red Cross website. “Bringing students of L. A．together for these events not only raises a lot of money, but also raises the spirits of those affected by any disaster and helps everyone young and old.”Duhamel had won the title of Male Model of the Year in an International Modeling and Talent Association competition in 1997. Duhamel began his acting career as an extra in the music videos for Donna Summer’s song, “I Will Go With You” in 1998.Later that year, he won the role of Leo Pres on the ABC soap opera “All My Children”. He then began appearing in films, and his acting in the film “Transformers” as well as its sequels (续集) was so successful that he became a pop film star.4．Why did Josh Duhamel lead the beach run?A．He raised money for people suffering from diseases.B．He found more young volunteers especially teenagers.C．He built up a fame of having the spirit of entertainment.D．He helped the Red Cross raise money for places suffering from disasters.5．How did Josh Duhamel feel about his joining in the beach run?A．He felt it the best way to kill time especially on weekends.B．He felt it the best way to get to know the world.C．He thought it the best chance to make himself famous.D．He found it enjoyable and exciting to be a member.6．The aim of the youth run of L.A．is to ______.A．persuade more young people to keep the earth greenB．inspire those affected by disasters and give them a handC．make the young realize the influence of famous peopleD．raise as much money as possible to help the old and young7．What is the main idea of the last paragraph?A．The importance of the youth run started by the Red Cross.B．The methods to join in the youth run led by Josh Duhamel.C．The experiences and achievements of Josh Duhamel.D．The reason why Josh Duhamel leads the youth run.To solve a big environmental problem, chemists in the Czech Republic have been thinking small. Really small. Their new minirobot has one purpose: to help clean up tiny bits of plastic polluting waterways across the globe.Each new robot is no bigger than the tip of a sharpened pencil. They are magnetic (有磁性的) and shaped like stars. When sunlight hits them, they produce chemical reactions that push them through water in a specific direction. When they find a piece of plastic, they stick to it and start to break it down. When the light goes out, they let go and are free to be used again.“This work is great,” says Douglas Blackiston at Tufts University in Medford, Mass. He’s a biologist who did not work on the project but knows about such devices. He’s been designing robots out of living cells, including some that might help with pollution cleanup.Speaking of the new one, he mentions that, “These robots can eat plastic. They chew it up. Or they can recover it and be collected with a magnet. Scientists love robots with all these capabilities. ”Chemist Martin Pumera at the Czech University of Chemistry and Technology in Prague led the project. He studies ways to build microrobots. About a decade ago, he says, scientists began developing tiny bots that could move themselves in water. Then, they had to find them a mission and thought “Let’s make them do something useful.” Since then, Pumera has focused on the problem posed by microplastics, which are everywhere—from the bottom of the ocean to air blowing onto ice atop mountains. They’ve turned up in drinking water, both bottled and tap water, and some studies estimate that trillions of pieces of plastic end up in the world’s waters. The plastic has many sources, from drinking straws and shopping bags to laundry and cleaning wipes. Plastic doesn’t easily degrade or fall apart, and that’s always been one of its appeals.Pumera says his final goal is to make cheap and environmentally friendly robots that can be used anywhere in the world.8．What do the new robots mainly do?A．To collect tiny bits of plastic in the sea B．To push the pollution in water away C．To help do research into the plastic D．To deal with the plastic in water 9．How do the new robots get powered?A．By stars B．By plastic C．By sunlight D．By living cells 10．Why did Pumera take part in the project?A．Because of public attention to the plasticB．Because of the challenges from the plasticC．Because he was asked to do so by other scientistsD．Because he was inspired by the invention of microrobots11．What is the best title of the article?A．Small robots, big dreams B．No plastic in water anymore! C．Robots, winners against plastic D．The fight between robots and plasticThe masked shrew is one of the smallest mammals(哺乳动物) in North America, only a few inches long. However, it recently made a giant jump. Over the past few decades, the tiny shrew has migrated more than 4,000 feet on both sides of the Rocky Mountains. And it’s notthe only one.Studies in other parts of the world have suggested that mountain animals are climbing higher. Lead study author Christy McCain, an ecologist at the University of Colorado Boulder, and her co-authors Sarah King and Tim Szewezyk wanted to show it is true in the Rockies.The new study looked at 47 different species of small mammals in the Colorado Rocky Mountains. First, the researchers studied the small mammal samples (样本) collected in Colorado over the last few decades and built a database on where these mammals were typically found and how high up. Next, they conducted a series of field surveys in the Colorado Rockies, counting small mammals and recording where each species is found today. They then calculated how much each mammal population has moved over the last few decades.They found that 26 of the 47 species studied had moved upward over time. Masked shrews were among the species with the largest jumps, climbing a total of about 4,500 feet. McCain noted that species with the largest upward jumps tend to share some important characteristics. Most of them are animals specifically adapted to cold weather. 11 of the 47 mammal species actually shifted downward. McCain noted they may be less sensitive to mountain warming. Six species do not appear to have changed at all. And four species have completely disappeared from the mountains in the period between the 1980s and now.“This is the first indication,” McCain said, “that large animal communities are responding to climate change.” The findings are consistent with the conclusions of other studies around the world — that mountain ecosystems are sensitive to climate change and wildlife in these places is already responding to the pressure, both of which can urge humans to change the current situation.12．Why did Christy McCain and her team do the study?A．To collect data of mountain animals.B．To urge humans to change the situation. C．To prove the previous conclusions.D．To assess the effects of climate change. 13．What does the study find about mountain mammals?A．Many species have disappeared.B．None have shifted downward. C．Those going higher are sensitive to cold.D．Many are affected by climate change. 14．What can the findings function as?A．A wake-up call.B．A climate reminder.C．A pressure response.D．A situation changer.15．What’s the main theme of the text?A．Mountain mammals climb higher to beat the heat.B．Cold-adapted species suffer a lot in the Rockies.C．Climate change is making the Rockies unlivable.D．Small mammals are vital to mountain ecosystems.二、七选五Everyone makes mistakes. Mistakes are an essential part of what makes us humans. They are a crucial step in learning, growing, and improving yourself. Not making mistakes islearn from mistakes.Take 100% responsibility. After making a mistake, reflect on it. 17 Only accepting responsibility can make learning possible. Therefore, take 100% responsibility, accept the consequences and be part of the solution to the problem. The sooner you accept responsibility, the sooner the problem is identified, and the sooner a resolution will be possible.Figure out the cause of the mistake. 18 Figuring out the cause will also help you avoid repeating it next time. Determine the specific action that has led to the mistake. Take time to look into the events, see if there are things that need to be improved, and take time to work on them. Make the necessary changes to see the positive results.19 You cannot change the mistakes that were made in the past, but you can take the lesson learnt and apply it when necessary. Don’t move forward through life being afraid of making mistakes. The moment you see mistakes as lessons rather than mistakes, you will no longer have this crazy scare of meeting them along your journey.Apologize if necessary. Apologizing for a mistake you have made, which has affected someone, can make a big difference. By apologizing, you are showing bravery. 20 A．Move on fearlessly.B．You cannot be perfect all the time.C．So make them, learn from them and grow.D．Blaming others for your mistakes will do you no good.E．Making mistakes makes you understand that you are not perfect.F．Knowing why you made the mistake is the key to learning from it.G．That’s because it takes courage to stand before someone and admit your mistake.三、完形填空When I was a boy, there were no smart phones.

It houses a diverse collection of more than 2,300 examples of European art rangingfrom 13th-century religious paintings to more modern ones by Renoir and Van Gogh. The older collections of the gallery are reached through the main entrance while the more modern works in the East Wing are most easily reached from Trafalgar Square by a ground floor yout: The modern Sainsbury Wing on the western side of the building houses 13th-to15th-century paintings, and artists include Duccio, Uccello, Van Eyck, Lippi, Mantegna, Botticelli and Memling.The main West Wing houses 16th-century paintings, and artists include Leonardo da Vinci, Cranach, Michelangelo, Raphael, Bruegel, Bronzino, Titan and Veronese.The North Wing houses 17th-century paintings, and artists include Caravaggio, Rubens, Poussin, Van Dyck, Velazquez, Claude and Vermeer.The East Wing houses 18th-to early 20th-century paintings, and artists include Canaletto, Goya, Turner, Constable, Renoir and Van Gogh.Opening Hours:The Gallery is open every day from 10 am to 6 pm (Fridays 10 am to 9 pm) and is free, but charges apply to some special exhibitions.Getting There:Nearest underground stations: Charing Cross (2-minute walk), Leicester Square (3-minute walk), Embankment (7-minute walk), and Piccadilly Circus (8-minute walk).21．In which century’s collection can you see religious paintings?A．The 20th B．The 17thC．The 18th D．The 13th22．Where are Leonardo da Vinci’s works shown?A．In the East Wing.B．In the main West Wing.C．In the Sainsbury Wing.D．In the North Wing.23．Which underground station is closest to the National Gallery?A．Charing Cross.B．Leicester Square.C．Embankment.D．Piccadilly Circus.A young Los Angeles actor in need of a second job to pay his bills has come up with a brilliant way to add his income — people walking.Chuck McCarthy originally considered becoming a dog walker to earn some extra cash, but soon realized that the job required more than walking dogs on a leash (皮带). “I didn’t want topick up dog poop (粪便), and that’s kind of what you are really being paid for, for dog walking,” he said. But people don’t usually poop when they take a walk, so Chuck realized there was money to be made walking people around Los Angeles instead.It might sound like a joke, but the People Walker, as he calls himself, is very serious about his new job. For $7 per mile, he offers to walk with customers around L.A．, listening to their problems or simply making conversation and offering them a sense of safety.His services are aimed at people who need motivational help to go walking, those who don’t feel safe walking alone in some areas, and those who are afraid that people might see them walking by themselves and think that they have no friends.“I wear my The People Walker shirt upon request and on the first walk with a new customer, so they can be 100% sure it’s me,” McCarthy says. However, he admits that some people don’t agree to this policy, as they don’t necessarily want everyone to know that they are being walked.Believe it or not, McCarthy’s business has been very successful. He already has another five people walkers employed, covering various areas, like downtown L.A．, Hollywood, Eagle Rock, Las Feliz or Fairefax. Once he posted signs around the city, his phone started ringing and customers began rolling in. And with all the free publicity he has been getting in the press lately, he has been overwhelmed (不堪重负的) with requests.24．Why does Chuck McCarthy need a second job?A．To kill his spare time.B．To become more active.C．To get rid of his loneliness.D．To increase his income.25．Chuck McCarthy gave up his original idea because ______.A．he didn’t want to pick up dog poopB．he didn’t earn any extra cashC．people in L.A．didn’t believe in himD．there were few dogs in L.A．26．The fourth paragraph mainly talks about Chuck McCarthy’s ______.A．lifestyle B．hobbies C．service targets D．service areas27．It can be known from that passage that ______.A．most people in Los Angeles live a lonely lifeB．the People Walker is quite popular with some peopleC．people living in Los Angeles lack a sense of securityD．McCarthy’s business has almost spread to the whole countryFear may be felt in the heart as well as in the head, according to a study that has found a link between the cycles of a beating heart and the chance of someone feeling fear.Tests on healthy volunteers found that they were more likely to feel a sense of fear at the moment when their hearts are contracting(收缩) and pumping blood around their bodies, compared with the point when the heartbeat is relaxed. Scientists say the results suggest that the heart is able to influence how the brain responds to a fearful event, depending on which point it is at in its regular cycle of contraction and relaxation.Sarah Garfinkel at the Brighton and Sussex Medical School said: “Our Study shows for the first time that the way in which we deal with fear is different depending on when we see fearful pictures in relation to our heart.”The study tested 20 healthy volunteers on their reactions to fear as they were shown pictures of fearful faces. Dr Garfinkel said, “The study showed that fearful faces are better noticed when the heart is pumping than when it is relaxed. Thus our hearts can also affect what we see and what we don’t see一and guide whether we see fear.”To further understand this relationship, the scientists also used a brain scanner(扫描仪) to show how the brain influences the way the heart changes a person’s feeling of fear.“We have found an important mechanism by which the heart and brain ‘speak’ to each other to change our feelings and reduce fear,” Dr Garfinkel said.“We hope that by increasing our understanding about how fear is dealt with and ways that it could be reduced, we may be able to develop more successful treatments for anxiety disorders, and also for those who may be suffering from serious stress disorder.”28．What is the finding of the study?A．One’s heart affects how he feels fear.B．Fear is a result of one’s relaxed heartbeat.C．Fear has something to do with one’s health.D．One’s fast heartbeats are likely to cause fear.29．The study was carried out by analyzing .A．volunteers’ heartbeats when they saw terrible picturesB．the time volunteers saw fearful pictures and their health conditionsC．volunteers’ reactions to horrible pictures and data from their brain scansD．different pictures shown to volunteers and their heart—brain communication 30．Which of the following is closest in meaning to “mechanism” in Paragraph 6?A．Order.B．System.C．Machine.D．Treatment.31．This study may contribute to .A．treating anxiety and stress better.B．explaining the cycle of fear and anxietyC．finding the key to the heart-brain communicationD．understanding different fears in our hearts and headsThe Coalition for the Homeless is an organization that seeks to address the needs of the homeless population in the United States. It is a network of offices, some of which provide food and houses for the homeless population, and some of which fight for the passing of laws that of over two hundred million people living in the United States,up to three million are homeless—and the number is still growing. Since the late 1970s,fast rising house prices,large cuts in government supported housing programs, and economic recession(经济衰退)have made it impossbile for many Americans to meet housing costs. Sadly, this has resulted in a number of persons being forced to leave their homes and/or unable to find new affordable homes. According to another research,families with children appear to be the fastest-growing part of the homeless population, making up 39% of it.The old idea of a homeless person,that of the single man who gets drunk all the time,is no longer true. A much lager part of the population now finds itself homeless. Even worse, once a person becomes homeless, he often finds it impossible to find a job,since most employers require anyone who wants a job from them to provide a home address on a job application.32．The word “address” in the first line probably means .A．talk about B．deal with C．fight for D．write to 33．How many people are homeless in the U.S. according to the Coalition studies?A．39% of the population.B．200 million people.C．About 3 million people.D．About one-fifth of the population. 34．Homeless people often have difficulty finding a job because________.A．they have no home addressesB．they mostly have a drinking problemC．they aren't supported by government programsD．they often don't have enough work experience35．What is the main cause of the rising number of the homeless in the U.S.?A．The passing of new housing laws.B．The fast growth of family size.C．The slow construction of houses.D．The ever-rising price of housing.It is necessary but difficult for English beginners to memorize new words, and long lists of words seem to make the mission impossible. They are puzzled why they try to memorize words with great efforts but forget them easily. That’s why there are often inquiries about how to memorize new words. 36 Here are some tips to help.37 We too often separate the process of new words memorization from pronunciation. In fact, these two can be combined and each will enhance the other. Saying the word to ourselves helps activate aural(hearing) memory, which helps the memory. 38 The more familiar we are with the word, the greater chance we will have to keep it for the rest of our life.Never memorize single English words. 39 Relate the word to terms we already know, either as synonym or antonym. For example, the word "gargantuan" is similar in meaning to words "gigantic", ＂huge" and "large". Make a sequence of words: "small, medium, large, gigantic, and gargantuan".Create a mental image of the word that involves strong emotions. Think, "The gargantuan whale is going to swallow me whole".Learning English words requires action. Complaining how difficult it is to memorize new words will be of little help. 40 Have a try with ten words a day and you will see what a difference you will make in our English learning.A．So take action right now.B．Speak the word while memorizing it.C．Memorizing new words is very important.D．Actually, some have given up learning new words.E．In fact, learning new words needn’t be that difficult.F．Make as many associations and connections as possible.G．The sound of word helps us recall the spelling and familiarizes us with the word.三、完形填空In 2012, I had just recovered from a serious illness when I received an invitation to a writer’s conference in Orlando, Florida.

The tool, called MusicLM, is not the first AI music tool to be launched. But the examples Google provided demonstrate musical creative ability based on a limited set of descriptive words.Several different music examples produced by MusicLM were published online. Some of the generated music came from just one-or two-word descriptions, such as “jazz”, “rock” or “techno (高科技舞曲)”. The tool also created other examples from more detailed descriptions containing whole sentences.The MusicLM model operates similarly to the machine-learning systems used by ChatGPT. ChatGPT and MusicLM both require powerful computers to operate complex machine-learning models. The San Francisco-based company OpenAI launched ChatGPT late last year. ChatGPT has recently received a lot of attention because of its ability to generate complex writings and other content from just a simple description in natural languages. Such tools can produce human-like results because they are trained on huge amounts of data. Many different materials are fed into the systems to permit them to learn complex skills to create realistic works.However, the MusicLM researchers said there were some risks linked to the new tool. One of the biggest issues the researchers identified was biases (偏好) present in the training data. A bias might be including too much of one side and not enough of the other. The researchers said this raised a question about appropriateness for music generation for cultures underrepresented in the training data.4．What can we learn about MusicLM?A．It is the first AI music tool to be launched.B．It requires detailed descriptions of full sentences.C．It creates music based on simple descriptive words.D．It generates complex writings from a simple description.5．What is the similarity between ChatGPT and MusicLM?A．They can take the place of musicians.B．They have gained commercial success.C．They don’t have any practical use in life.D．They are based on huge amounts of data. 6．Which of the following is an issue of the MusicLM model?A．Creating music with strong biases.B．Requiring too much training data.C．Being difficult for some people to use.D．Producing music works with no creativity. 7．What would be the best title for the text?A．The future of humans with AI B．A new AI tool to make musicC．Music created by some AI tools D．AI and its function in culture developmentChildhood can bring a lot of awe (敬畏). Research also suggests that awe is important in promoting well-being beyond our individual lives — it can encourage our children to care for others.A recent study by researchers Eftychia Stamkou, Keltner, and their colleagues invited children aged 8-13 to take part in an experiment. In the awe group, children were offered a short part of a movie that features a child transformed into a seal (海豹) and exploring the sea while in the joy group, children were offered a short part of another movie where friends were celebrating.Researchers measured children’s kindness toward poor families by inviting children to support their food drive by spending as much time as they wanted in counting donated things, to make sure the poor got access to the donated food as quickly as possible. They also invited children to donate the reward they earned from taking part in the research (e.g., a snack or a museum ticket) to a poor family.The results? Children who watched the awe-inspiring video spent more time counting food donations and donated their rewards to poor families more often compared to the children who watched the joy-inspiring video. These findings highlight that awe-inspiring art can motivate children to be sympathetic toward people who have been forcibly displaced (离开家园) from theircountries of origin.As parents, we can also seek out everyday experiences of awe in our communities to share with our children, like wall paintings of the city scenery and folk art. Awe can be inspired by music, like the harmonious sounds of a wooden guitar and the beat of a drum. Awesome architecture, like symphony halls, museums, and even features like staircases, can be a way to experience awe with our children.8．What does the research find?A．Awe should be inspired early.B．Awe helps kids be more generous.C．Individual lives affect kids’ health.D．Training awe gives kids excitement. 9．What do we know about the children in the experiment?A．They watched different movies.B．They commented on the videos.C．They were asked some questions.D．They donated money to poor families. 10．Why did the awe group support the food drive more?A．They learned this from a video.B．They were motivated by the movie.C．They liked to contribute to charity.D．They were reminded by the homeless. 11．What does the author intend to do in the last paragraph?A．Give reasons for feeling awe.B．List experiences of awe.C．Show benefits of awe to kids.D．Appeal for developing awe in kids.People may typically think of memory as the recollection of the past. Memory enables people to learn from past experiences and apply that knowledge in present cases. It is an important part of our identity. So is culture, the way of life specific to a group of people.Cultural memory is the constructed understanding of the past that is passed from one generation to the next through text, oral traditions, monuments and other symbols. Cultural memory is often amassed in objects, such as museums or historical monuments. To understand culture, humans access a mass of cultural symbols, such as books. Artifacts (历史文物) of the past provide insights into where we came from. Libraries and the Internet keep a seemingly boundless amount of data on what it means to be part of a culture. Cultural memory is the longest-lasting form of memory.Like all forms of memory, cultural memory has important functions. For example, it makesthe experiences a nation owns clear. It provides us with an understanding of the past and the values of the group to which we belong. Besides, it creates a form of shared identity and a means for communicating this identity to new members. The most powerful forms of cultural memory may involve memories of past disastrous experiences undergone by groups of victims. For example, in Russia, their role in World War II —in which tens of millions of Russians were killed — is still an important part of modern Russian identity. Because all groups have cultural memory, it can bring about a spirit of resistance or survival among threatened groups.The main function of cultural memory is not to recall the past, whether it is good or bad. Rather, it is to use knowledge of past experiences to avoid making the same mistakes again and again. Aleida Assmann, a professor who has worked on memory theory since the 1960s, calls this “remembering forward”. Cultural memory enables people to adapt to their culture; it enables cultures to adapt to new circumstances by keeping traces (痕迹) of what worked in the past. 12．What is the function of the first paragraph?A．Reporting a discovery of cultural memory.B．Leading to the concept of cultural memory.C．Introducing the importance of memory in identity.D．Making a connection between memory and culture.13．Which can replace the underlined word “amassed” in paragraph 2?A．Stored.B．Ignored.C．Damaged.D．Created. 14．Russia is mentioned in paragraph 3 to indicate ______.A．the features of cultural memory B．the formation of cultural memoryC．the role of big events in Russian identity D．the impact of cultural memory on identity 15．What is cultural memory mainly expected to do?A．Pass previous wisdom down.B．Keep traces of history.C．Get people to know about the past.D．Remind people of their identity.Why you should be eating more pulses (豆类)World Pulses Day is February 10, so we need get to know some popular pulses and know their benefits. 16 Pulses are rich, colourful superfoods such as lentils, chickpeas and dried beans. They promote good health, contribute to food security, and are delicious.Healthy andnutritious (有营养的).Maintaining good health means a healthy choice of foods. Pulses are healthy foods that benefit our overall health. 17 Pulses are also nutritious, meaning they provide the body with vitamins and minerals the body needs. 18You can buy pulses almost all year round, and all types are recognized as a kitchen staple (主食). Pulses are more affordable than meat. And they are an inexpensive source of protein, especially important in countries where meat and dairy products are not easily accessible or too costly. Adding pulses to stews and bolognese sauces will help reduce your shopping bill. These little changes will make your sauce-based meals healthier, tastier and more filling.Great for the environment.19 Farmers need less irrigation (灌溉) water for growing pulses than other crops, and the roots are deeper and more abundant, which are important factors when cultivating in dry regions where other crops fail. Pulses release nitrogen into the ground, a process known as nitrogen fixation. This has a positive effect, improves the quality of the soil and reduces the need for fertilizers.Economical and versatile (多用途的).Essential and delicious pulses are economical and easy to prepare. 20 Never salt the beans before you start cooking, doing this will make them tough. Don’t cook beans in the soaking water. A pinch of baking soda will speed up the cooking of your beans.A．Delicious and special.B．Cooking pulses is not complicated if you respect the three golden rules.C．An affordable, practical choice.D．How they are good for our health.E．Pulses boast sustainable agriculture.F．Why should we be eating more throughout the year?G．In other words, pulses will help prevent us from being sick.二、完形填空When I was a teenager, I was invited to a formal dance party.

高一下学期英语6月月考试卷一、阅读理解1. 阅读理解Scientists used to explore on the surface of the ocean. Now they are exploring below the surface, too. They want to know about ocean water and the plant and animal life deep in the ocean.In 1934 the scientist William Beebe dived 3000 feet below the surface in a hollow steel ball. In 1935 August Piccard dived 10330 feet In I960 his son Jean dived to a depth of 35800 feet. All these early dives were deep. But the divers could not stay down for very long. They had to come back up to the surface after a few seconds. Scientists needed to stay down longer to study life below surface. Gradually they succeeded. Cousteau, a Frenchman, was able to keep men down to a depth of 36 feet for one month and to a depth of 90 feet for a week.Now scientists are developing even better equipment. With this new equipment, men can stay below the surface for days or even weeks. In 1962 Cousteau set up a research station 35 feet below the surface. Then, in 1964, he set up another station on the ocean floor of the Red Sea. This was the first undersea station to operate without help from the surface.Many countries are now studying undersea living. The former Soviet Union has an undersea laboratory in the Crimean Sea. The United States has alaboratory 50 feet down on the ocean floor off the Virgin Islands. In 1970 five men lived there for two weeks. Then a team of five women scientists stayed in the laboratory. Next came other teams of men. All were there to explore the ocean depths and to make plans for the use of its resources. Scientists hope to find enough mineral, vegetable, and animal wealth there to provide food for the entire world.（1）In order to , scientists are exploring below the surface of the ocean.A . know about the ocean water deep in the oceanB . stay down longer to study life of the plant and animal below the surfaceC . know about the plant and animal life deep in the oceanD . both A and C（2）Who made the deepest dive?A . William Beebe.B . August Piccard.C . Jean Piccard.D . Cousteau.（3）Which of the following statements is true?A . The early divers could not stay down for very long.B . Up to now only five women scientists have in the undersea laboratory.C . The purpose of setting up the undersea laboratory is to make plans for the use of the resources in the ocean.D . None of the above is true.2. 阅读理解When one of your car tires goes flat, there are two things you can do, you can complain and change it or, if you don’t have a spare, stand helplessly beside the road and hope someone comes to your rescue. Now comes a third choice, called Quickwheel. It is designed to get disabled motorists rolling again as quickly as possible.Quickwheel is basically a tiny emergency trailer---complete with three tough little wheels of its own-- that supports the flat tire and enables the motorists to drive to a service station without losing much time or expending much energy. The product is made in the US. Company, Quickwheel Inc. of Greenwich, Connecticut. According to the firm’s president, Robert Bockweg, the product meets each of the major worries that customers relate with flat tires: safe, lost time and physical labor.To use it, motorists simply unfold the product to its fully extended position, set it in front of the disabled tire, drive the car onto the Quickwheel’s ramp and fix a special safety strap over the tire. The tire is then locked in Quickwheel’s metal frame. Its three whe els do the rest of the work. According to Quickwheel Inc, its product can be driven “for miles” at the speed of up to 45 miles per hour “without any noticeable change in the vehicle’s braking or steering operation”. The company also says that it can be used on just about any type of car, jeep, mini-van or trailer.Bockweg says that Quickwheel will be sold first in the United States, at a price of 150 dollars. Sales agreements now being talked over should make the product ready for use in Japan, Canada and Western Europe in the near future.（1）What does the underlined phrase “disabled motorists’’ probably mean?A . Motorists who can’t walk.B . Motorists who have disabilities.C . Drivers who can’t drive on because of a flat tire.D . Drivers who are hurt in a n accident.（2）According to the information m the passage, Quickwheel .A . can be used to replace a flat tire.B . provides a kind of support to the flat tire for a short time.C . is able to move as quickly as a wheel.D . is as changeable and lasting as an ordinary wheel.（3）The purpose of writing this text is to .A . announce a business agreement.B . share information about flat tire changing.C . introduce the advantages of a new tire.D . introduce a new product---Quickwheel.3. 阅读理解At no time in history has there been such a mass movement of people from the countryside to the city as is happening now. By the year 2030, it’s estimated that more than two thirds of the world’s population will be living in cities, twice as many as today. This means that the problems faced by cities today-overcrowding, poor housing, unemployment, poverty and lack of food and water—will be twice as bad, unless we find solutions soon.Another serious issue is how to provide good transportation for their citizens. Many of the w orld’s major cities are already struggling with out-of-date transport infrastructures . How can they deal with the additional demands?London is a good example. Its enlargement was made possible by the invention of the steam engine, which powered the worl d’s first underground railway. But its transport system are now hopelessly out-of-date and need urgent modernization. London’s future success depends very much ondeveloping better public transportOver a million people travel into central London every day from outside the city. They, together with the people who live in London, want a public transport system that is efficient, safe and environmentally friendly. What they often get, however, falls far short of that ideal. Passengers complain about cost and pollution, while businesses worry about the problems their staff have in getting to work on time. Yes, the proportion of London households that own a car grew from just over ten percent in the early 1950s to over sixty percent today.As the city has become increasingly crowded and polluted, there has been a growing realization that action must be taken soon.（1）It is believed that .A . overpopulation causes the problem in citiesB . two thirds of the world’s population are living in cities todayC . it isn’t difficult to solve the problem faced by cities todayD . with fewer people, we would be free from problems（2）The underlined word “they” in the fourth paragraph refers to .A . the citizens in the city of LondonB . those who come to London from other placesC . passengers who make complaints about the costD . businesses who are anxious about their staff getting to work late（3）The underlined words “environmentally friendly” is closest in meaning to .A . pleasant and nonpollutingB . cheap and punctualC . quick andstraightD . fair and convenient（4）The following paragraph of this text would most probably deal withA . train and air travelB . traffic jams in LondonC . possible solution to London’s transportation problemsD . car ownership that continues to gr ow.4. 阅读理解In many parts of the world, there are four seasons: spring, summer, fall and winter. In the U.S., there are only three: football, basketball and baseball. If you want to know what season it is, just have a look at what people are playing.For many people in the U.S., sports are not just for fun. They’re almost a religion. Thousands of sports fans buy expensive tickets to watch their favourite teams and athletes play in person. Other fans watch the games at home. The most devoted sports buffs never miss a game. Many a wife becomes a “sports widow ” during her husband’s favorite season.America’s devotion to athletics has created a new class of wealthy people: professional athletes. Sports stars often receive million -dollar salaries. Some even make big money appearing in advertisements for soft drinks, shoes and even toiletries .Sports are an important part of Americans’ culture. Throughout their school life, Americans learn to play many sports. All students take physical education classes in school. Some try out for the school teams, while others join school sports leagues.
