What can we learn about Just for Laughs?A. It lasts for a monthB. It provides free food for all.C. It's the best comedy feast.D. It is concerned about the royal family.BFor the past 13 years, Martin Burrows has been working as a long-distance truck driver. Spending up to five nights a week on the road can be a lonely business, leaving him with plenty of time to notice his surroundings. “I kept seeing more rubbish everywhere and it was getting on my nerves. I decided I had to do something about it,” he says. One day, he stopped his vehicle, took out a trash bag and started picking up the garbage. The satisfaction after clearing a small area was remarkable.Before his time on the road, Burrows spent over two decades in the military as a vehicle driver. His service saw him stationed throughout Europe and also on tours in Afghanistan. After returning to civilian life, he was diagnosed with PTSD（创伤后应激障碍）and had a mental health crisis in 2017. His involvement in fundraising for Help for Heroes led him to meet a man who used model-building as a distraction from PTSD. Burrows realized that his act of roadside cleanup had a similar calming effect on his mental well-being.By 2019, Burrows had begun using his free time on the road to regularly clean up garbage. A passerby encouraged him to set up a Facebook group, which he called Truckers Cleaning Up Britain. “I was worried I'd be the laughing stock of my town for putting videos and photos up of me cleaning but people started to join,” he says. “I was amazed. The local council stepped in and gave me litter-picking supplies and we're up to almost 3,000 members now.”Since truckers are so often on the move, the Facebook page acts as a means of raising awareness rather than a platform for organizing cleanups. Burrows expressed his intention to continue the cleanup efforts as long as his physical condition allowed, as he still found joy in the process.4. What initially caused Burrows to pick up roadside garbage?A. He wanted to kill time by picking up litter.B. He aimed to raise fund for soldiers with PTSD.C. He felt annoyed to see the increasing rubbish.D. He received the assignment from his employer.5. How did collecting roadside garbage affect Burrows' PTSD?A. It resulted in his embarrassment.B. It increased his sense of isolation.C. It worsened his stress and anxiety.D. It brought him comfort and relief.6. What concerned Burrows when he started Truckers Cleaning Up Britain?A. He feared being teased for his action.B. He was lacking in advanced cleanup tools.C. He was unsure about the group's development.D. He worried about the local council's disapproval.7. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. A Joyful V olunteer ExperienceB. A Trucker's Cleanup InitiativeC. A Fighting Hero against PTSDD. A Platform for EnvironmentalistsCWhen most people think of drones（无人机）, they think of technology and fun. Safe to say, few people would think about farming. However, a group of students from York College of Pennsylvania have been building a drone that will not only help local farmers but the environment, as well.Samantha Gotwalt and Blayde Reich, two senior Mechanical Engineering majors at York College in the group, both found the work to be quite fascinating. According to Samantha, the idea came from a York College professor, who has worked with drones, and wanted to get students involved with a project beneficial to the community. “We really want to help farming and agriculture. I's super-important to America and our economy,” Blayde says. “We want to help the smaller farmers, and one of the perks is not having to spend their money on fertilizer and pesticides（杀虫剂）.”The idea is to design and build a drone that will take video imagery of the fields to determine what is needed to produce the best crop, while saving money and sparing the environment by reducing pollutants in the water runoff . Ideally, that data gained will help the farmers better determine what chemicals they need and what they don't.However, finding the right equipment for the project was a challenge, starting with what drone the team would design for this particular usage. Samantha says she researched durability and control of drones to help make the proper determination.“We are flying over the field and we want to have enough efficiency and go relatively slow enough that our pictures turn out well and fly low enough that it is not using up all of its power,” she says. “The fields are a couple hundred acres（英亩）, so you need your drone to be able to fly the length of that field.”Blayde says the team continues to learn a great deal of information that will help the farmers and the environment.8. What does the underlined word “perks” in paragraph 2 refer to?A. challenges.B. features.C. benefits.D. solutions.9. What particular usage is the drone designed for?A. Spreading proper quantities of pesticides.B. Helping to determine the chemicals needed.C. Assisting to monitor the state of crops.D. Measuring the areas of the fields.10. What technical issue of the drone shall be tackled?A. Its camera capacity.B. Its data collection ability.C. Its durability and control.D. Its material and efficiency.11. What can best describe the students?A. Disciplined and realistic.B. Experienced and reliable.C. Humble and reserved.D. Responsible and creative.DAi-Da sits behind a desk, a paintbrush in her hand. She looks up at the person posing for her, and then back down as she applies another drop of paint onto the canvas（画布）. A lifelike portrait is taking shape. If you didn't know a robot produced it, this portrait could pass as the work of a human artist.Ai-Da produces portraits of sitting subjects using a robotic hand attached to her lifelike figure. She's also able to talk, giving detailed answers to questions about her artistic process and attitudes towards technology. She even gave a TEDx talk titled “The Intersection of Art and AI” in Oxford several years ago. Ai-Da's creators have also been experimenting with having her write and perform her own poetry.But how are we to interpret Ai-Da's output? Should we consider her paintings and poetry original and creative? Are these works actually art?What discussions about AI and creativity often overlook is the fact that creativity isn't an absolute quality that can be defined, measured and reproduced objectively. When we describe an object—for instance, a child's drawing—as being creative, we project our own assumptions about culture onto it. Indeed, art never exists in isolation. It always needs someone to give it “art” status. And the criteria for whether you think something is art are formed by both your expectations and broader cultural conceptions.If we extend this line of thinking to AI, it follows that no Al application or robot can objectively be “creative”. It is always we—humans—that decide whether works created by AI are art.Some may see robot-produced paintings as something coming from creative computers, while others may be skeptical, given the fact that robots act on clear human instructions. In any case, attribution（归属）of creativity never depends on technical arrangement alone—no computer is objectively creative. Rather, the attribution of computational creativity is largely inspired by contexts of reception. Through particular social information, some people are inspired to think of AI output as art, systems as artists, and computers as creators. Therefore, as with any piece of art, your appreciation of AI output ultimately depends on your own interpretation.12. What can we learn about Ai-Da?A. She has a complex many-sided personality.B. She beat others in the debate on art and ALC. She is capable of drawing high-quality portraits.D. She can write poems without being programmed.13. What fact do discussions about AI and creativity often ignore?A. That art is content-based.B. That art can take many forms.C. That creativity is closely related to cultures.D. That creativity is often measured subjectively.14. What idea does the author want to convey in the last paragraph?A. Every coin has two sides.B. Great minds think alike.C. Four eyes see more than two.D. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.15. What would be the best title for the text?A. Is AI-created Art Really Art?B. Will People Accept AI Artists?C. Can We Use Al to Create Portraits?D. Do We Need to Improve AI's Creativity?第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.6分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

辽宁省阜新市第二高级中学高一下学期第一次考试英语试卷
高一英语第一次月考试卷考试时间：90 分钟总分100分第一部分阅读理解(共两节，满分50分)第一节(共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分)阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。
ABook reading is certainly one of the most absorbing habits. For young adults who love to read, finding some good books to read is very essential. Writing a book review can help you to improve your language and writing skills.The Book ThiefListed on The New York Times Children’s Best Seller List for over 100 weeks, The Book Thief by Markus Zusak is the story of a young girl in the Nazi camps set during World War II. So, if you love history and wish to learn how the life was during Adolf Hitler’s time, read this historic book.The Diary of Young GirlEven Anne Frank can not have imagined that her personal diary written during World War II would become such a popular book. It’s a must read that describes the situation of a family in the evils of wars through the eyes of a teenager.Animal FarmAnimal Farm is one of the most popular books by George Orwell. It is just a reflection of the Stalin and World War II period that has been so creatively presented in this book. It is an interesting example of how literature can be used to present conditions common in the society.Adventures of Huckleberry FinnMark Twain’s Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is one of the great American novels in history, and is certainly a great pick for young adults. Young Huck Finn and his mischief along with the colorful description of people around the Mississippi River make this novel a great book to read.1. Which book describes the author’s own experiences according to this passage?A. The Book ThiefB. The Diary of Young GirlC. Animal FarmD. Adventures of Huckleberry Finn2. What do the first three books have in common?A. All of them are about wars.B. All of them are about farms.C. All of them are intended for history lovers.D. All of them were written during World War II.3. The purpose of this passage is to _________.A. instruct youngsters how to improve skillsB. tell youngsters some wonderful reading habitsC. introduce several good books to youngstersD. give youngsters advice on writing a book reviewBTwo years ago I was very lonely and didn't talk with anyone about my feelings. At the time I didn't have many friends. I wanted someone to share my experiences and secrets with. I wanted someone to understand me. I started to imagine this friend. Often I imagine our conversations and what we would do, but I didn't give my imagination a face.Some weeks later I started a new project in school and I was working with one of my schoolmates. We had never worked together before but we got along well. After the project we started to spend some time together in school. One day we decided to take a walk. Ever since that walk we've been friends. We listened and really understood each other.I had wished for a best friend, but the universe gave me so much more. I have met one of my soul mates(挚友). We can sense each other, and it just takes one look and we know what the other is thinking. I didn't think our friendship could grow much stronger. But now we have known each other for two years and our friendship is growing all the time.It hasn't only been easy. We have gone through both easy and hard times. But I'm grateful for the hard times, because they have forced me to grow and taught me a lot. My best friend has changed me. She has made me believe in myself. And I am now focusing on achieving one of my biggest dreams. Without her, I wouldn't even have realized what my biggest dream is.I know there are soul mates out in the world for you. I am so thankful to have met one of mine. Believe in them, and your paths will cross.4. What did the author do before meeting her soul mate?A. She chose to stay alone.B. She spent time with other friends.C. She told others about her feelings.D. She pictured a friend in her mind.5. How did the author get to know her soul mate?A. By taking a walk.B. By attending a party.C. Through a school project.D. Through a friend's introduction.6. What do we know about the author and her soul mate?A. Their friendship is still developing.B. She is the author's only soul mate.C. They are trying hard to realize their dreams.D. She has little confidence in their friendship.7. Why is the author thankful for the hard times?A. She went through them easily.B. She has learned a lot from them.C. They have made her suffer.D. They have made her dream come true.COn one occasion, while visiting my parents, I happened to meet the little boy who lived next door. It was obvious that his mother had told him not to come over uninvited. He was standing on the very edge of his yard with an anxious look on his face, seemingly about to burst.My father waved him over and performed the introductions. “Eliot, this is my son, Gary. Gary, meet my little friend, Eliot.” To my delight, he reached out his small hand an d I accepted the formality(遵守礼节) with a smile.Unlike most children, this teenager was not shy of meeting a stranger. As a matter of fact, he turned out to be quite a chatterbox. Eliot had me laughing as I listened to the excitement in his voice for, as you know, it was a big deal to find a toad (蟾蜍)! His descriptions were priceless as I asked the obvious questions concerning the capture(捕捉). He was pleased that I showed interest in his adventure and gladly explained its details.Since Eliot seemed so willing to invest in our budding friendship, I asked him a question, “Do you like banjo music?” He got very excited and answered me with a hearty “Yes!”I took out my banjo from the car, but when I sat next to him and started playing, Eliot looked at me wi th a puzzled expression. He asked me “What’s that?” in all seriousness.My dad and I smiled. The boy who just “loved” the banjo didn’t recognize that I was holding one and that what I was playing was “banjo music”.I realized that his heart was in the right place. Eliot just wanted to please his new friend with that “Yes”, thinking it was what I wanted to hear.Well anyway, Eliot likes the banjo for real now. And I like Eliot.8. When Eliot saw the author, he _______.A. came into the yard to greet the authorB. gladly introduced himself to the authorC. showed no interest in visiting a strangerD. was eager to get to know the author9. From the passage we know Eliot was ________.A. seriousB. shyC. talkativeD. dishonest10. The underlined sentence in the fourth paragraph suggests_________.A. Eliot just wanted to know something with the authorB. Eliot would like to spend money in developing friendshipC. Eliot looked forward to developing friendship with the authorD. Eliot was excited for not making friends with the author11. Why did Eliot say he loved banjo music?A. Because he hoped that the author was in high spirits.B. Because he believed banjo music was very interesting.C. Because he was really fond of such strange music.D. Because he hoped the author would teach him the music.DA teenager needs to have a sense of independence in their life to feel secure（安全的）. To some teenagers independence means a lot to them, and I think that some parents don’t allow their teenagers enough independence.Independence has something to do with freedom. Some kids are not allowed to go anywhere alone, and the only thing their schedule includes is going to school, coming home, going to sleep, and repeating the process the next day. Parents tend to be afraid that their kids can get hurt if they go outside into the world. But if parents control their kids too much, they may never learn to live on their own. The best way for a teenager to learn lesson is through experience. I think it is beneficial for teenagers to have freedom.Teenagers’ lack of freedom can also stop them from having good friendship at school. Some might say this is a good thing, because it helps them focus more on their school work. I argue that this can only discourage them not to do their school work. Some parents do not allow their children to be around their friends outside the school, thinking that this will get them into trouble.But I don’t think so. Instead, isn’t this a good reason for parents to get their children a ce llphone? Cellphones allow teenagers to stay in touch with their parents, and communicate with friends.Privacy is another issue between parents and their teenagers. Teenagers tend to enjoy relaxation by themselves in their own room. This also gives them a sense of independence. It often annoys teenagers when their parents enter their room when they are not home. I know that my mom always goes in my room when I’m not home, and this has brought me to the point where I have asked many times to get a lock on my door.12．What is the main idea of the second paragraph?A．It benefits teenagers to have freedom. B．Some parents allow their kids no freedom.C．Kids know how to live independently. D．Kids have a dull routine every day13．In the opinion of the author, ___________.A．it is unnecessary for a kid to have a cellphoneB．kids should focus on the school workC．parents should make it easy for kids to communicate with their friendsD．good friendships between kids harm their school work14．How do teenagers usually feel when their parents enter their rooms in their absence?A．Angry B．Lucky C．Disappointed D．Calm15．The author hopes to have her door locked in order to ______________.A．keep her father from reading her dairy B．stop thieves from going inC．Protect herself from any harm D．prevent her mother entering her room第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)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。

Lun Lun, a 15-year-old giant panda, gave birth to the cubs on July 15, 2013. Zoo officials followed Chinese custom and named the brothers after waiting 100 days. Until then, they were simply known as “Cub A” and “ Cub B”.Mei Lun and Mei H uan are the first twin panda cubs to survive in the Unite States. “We’re delighted to finally be able to place two youngsters with names. They have not only made a mark on the history of Atlanta Zoo, but also have made history in the US,” Raymond B. King , the zoo’s president and CEO, said in a statement.Atlanta Zoo teamed up with Good Morning America that month to put the pandas’ names to a public vote. China’s Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding provided the choi ces of names. In just 13 days, 51,000 votes poured in on the show’s website.Under a deal between China and the US, giant pandas originally from China are only lent to foreign zoos for scientific study for several years. Zookeepers at Atlanta Zoo are giving regular updates on the twins’ progress in an online blog. Mei Lun and Mei Huan are the fourth and fifth offspring(子女) of Lun Lun and a male giant panda named Yang Yang.The pandas made their first public appearanc e in a US exhibit last fall. For the three months before their appearance, the online world had watched the twins grow strong and healthy. “We share this joy with our colleagues(同事) in China and with the cub’s fans around the world,” King said.25. The underlined words “ that month” probably refer toA. JulyB. SeptemberC. OctoberD. December26. How did the twins get their names?A. Good morning America named them.B.

But he’s also a lifelong farmer. He is familiar with the saying that each farmer can expect to have 40 opportunities to improve their harvest. And it’s not just farmers who know there’s a clock running on their efforts. “ We all need to recognize that we only have a fixed amount of time to affect change,” said Howard G. Buffett(HGB)HGB wants to invest more than ＄3 billion, in an effort to end global hunger and poverty for the world’s nearly one billion poor people by 2045. He’s decided to focus much of his effort on farming in the developing world. He believes that the best way to deal with poverty is to change the lives of farmers in the poorest nations on the planet. “It’s a pretty well proven fact that nothing works better at bringing people out of poverty than investment in rural areas,” said HGB.Healthy soils are a most important part of productive farmers, but 1.5 billion people — a fifth of the global population — live on poor land. ”You have to fix the soil,” he said. HGB also has the idea that farmers who own their own land will raise crops with an eye to the long-term health of the soil.He would like to see that balanced with a foreign-aid plan. HGB notes that too often, experts want to make agriculture in developing nations look like farming in rich countries.” It’s not going to happen like that,” said HGB. “You need to consider local differences, local culture.” Many more ideas of HGB can be found in his new book, Forty Chances: Finding Hope in a Hungry World.29. From the second paragraph, we can learn that HGB’s main purpose is_______.A. to invest lots of money in farmingB. to end hunger and povertyC. to change farming in the worldD. to help the poorest nations in the world.30. What’s the population of the whole world?A. 1.5 billionB. One fifth billionC. 6 billionD. 7.5 billion31. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. The farming methods in rich countries suit developing countries.B. HGB thinks agriculture of the west is not good at all.C. All the farming methods don’t suit developing countries.D. HGB gains his ideas from the book Forty Chances.32. What can be the best title for the passage?A. HGB invests to end hungerB. A great farmer, HGB.C. HGB, one son of Warren BuffetD. HGB invests in the developing countries.DClimate change will increase U.S wildfires, and the smoky air will cause terrible problems in areas far beyond those burned, reports an environmental group Thursday.Two-thirds of Americans, or nearly 212 million, lived in states suffering from wildfire smoke three years ago, according to the report by the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC). These areas, which had smoke for at least a week, were nearly 50 times greater than those burned directly by fire.“ It affects a much wider area of the United States than people have realized, ” says author Kim Knowlton, a Columbia University health professor, adding the smoke can move up to hundreds of miles. She says the smoke contains air pollution and can cause several kinds of disease.Texas was hit hardest in 2011, when smoke stayed for at least a week in areas that are home to 25 million people, according to NRDC’s report. Illinois, which recorded no wildfires within its borders( 边界) ,ranked (排名) second with nearly 12 million people affected by smoke that moved in from elsewhere. The other eight states with the most people exposed (接触) to smoky air were, in descending ( 下降的) order: Florida, Missouri, Georgia, Louisiana, Michigan, Alabama, Oklahoma and Iowa.Nearly two dozen states had no wildfires within their borders in 2011, but eight of them still had at least one week of smoky air: Illinois, Missouri, Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, Indiana, Wisconsin and Ohio.Only 18 states and the District of Columbia had no people exposed to at leas t a week of smoke that year, although five of them----Alaska, California, Hawaii, Nevada and Utah---had a large area burned by wildfires.The problem will only get worse, Knowlton say. Scientific research shows climate is causing higher temperatures and health problems.33. We can learn from the first two paragraphs that .A. most Americans suffered from climate change.B. the stat es burned by wildfires had more serious problems.C. most Americans suffered from wildfire smoke in 2011.D. Every state had wildfire smoke for at least a week.34. Which of the following states had wildfires within its borders?A. TexasB. Kansas.C. OhioD. California.35. What would be the best title for the passage?A. Climate change causes more wildfires.B. More wildfires cause climate change.C. Wildfire smoke becomes a serious health problem.D.

His legs were so hurt that he couldn’t move. What was the 21 was that he found himself unable to ask for help—his mobile phone went out of 22 as a result of exhausted battery (电池). Nothing could be done but 23 in cold wilderness. It was 8 hours later that day broke, and then the 24 of the rescue (救援).It is almost 25 that he could stand the horror in the darkness for so long. Even more surprising was his 26 : “First of all I checked up my 27 conditions and found myself not in fatal (致命的) danger.

There I was, walking home at one in the morning after a tiring practice at the theater. With opening night only a week away, I was still learning my lines. I was having trouble dealing with my part-time job at the bank and my acting at night at the same time. As I walked, I thought seriously about giving up both acting and San Francisco. City life had become too much for me.As I walked down empty streets under tall buildings, I felt very small and cold. I began running, both to keep warm and to keep away from any possible robbers. Very few people were still out except a few sad-looking homeless people under blankets.About a block from my apartment, I heard a sound behind me. I turned quickly, half expecting to see someone with a knife or a gun. The street was empty. All I saw was a shining streetlight. Still, the noise had made me nervous, so I started to run faster. Not until I reached my apartment building and unlocked the door did I realize what the noise had been. It had been my wallet falling to the sidewalk.Suddenly I wasn’t cold or tired anymore. I ran out of the door and back to where I’d heard the noise. Although I searched the sidewalk anxiously for fifteen minutes, my wallet was nowhere to be found.Just as I was about to give up the search, I heard the garbage truck pulled up to the sidewalk next to me. When a voice called from the inside, “Alisa Camacho?” I thought I was dreaming. How coul d this man know my name? The door opened, and out jumped a small red-haired man with an amused look in his eyes. “Is this what you’re looking for?” he asked, holding up a small square shape.It was nearly 3 A. M. by the time I got into bed. I wouldn’t get much sleep that night, but I hadgotten my wallet back. I also had gotten back some enjoyment of city life. I realized that the city couldn’t be a bad place as long as people were willing to help each other.41. How did the writer feel when she was walking home after work?A. Cold and sick.B. Fortunate and hopeful.C. Satisfied and cheerful.D. Disappointed and helpless.42. From the first paragraph, we learn that the writer was busy ________.A. solving her problem at the bankB. taking part in various city activitiesC. learning acting in an evening schoolD. preparing for the first night show43. On her way home the writer ________.A. lost her wallet unknowinglyB. was stopped by a garbage truck driverC. was robbed of her wallet by an armed manD. found some homeless people following her44. In the fifth paragraph, why did the writer say she was dreaming?A. Someone offered to take her back home.B. A red-haired man came to see her.C. She heard someone call her name.D. Her wallet was found in a garbage truck.45. From the text, we can infer that the writer ________.A. would stop working at nightB. would stay on in San FranciscoC. would make friends with cleanersD. would give up her job at the bankBDuring the high school career, students may begin to question the importance of a college education. They might find themselves asking, “Why is it important to go to college?” The answer is that, more than ever, college graduates enjoy much greater opportunities available to them than those who have not received a college education.For many high school students, being able to immediately generate an income after graduation is an appealing thought. They may also be affected by the rising cost of tuition, and while it is true that a higher education may be one of the largest expenses you will ever face, the importance of a college education has become quite evident in terms of earning potential within today’s economy.Why should you go to college? One important answer to this question is more opportunity. As opposed to generations of the past, high school graduates today are unable to obtain high-paying jobs that were once available. The U.S. has been transformed from a manufacturing-based economy to an economy based on knowledge, and the importance of a college education today can be compared to that of a high school education forty years ago. It serves as the gateway to better options and more opportunity.There are additional reasons as to why it is important to go to college. When students experience a post secondary education, they have the opportunity to read books and listen to the lectures of top experts in their fields. This encourages students to think, ask questions, and explore new ideas, which allows for additional growth and development and provides college graduates with more opportunities in the job market over those who have not experienced a higher education.The importance of a college education is also stressed because of the opportunity to gain valuable resources during the study. The more connections which are collected during your college career, the more options you will have when you begin your job search. Once you have ended your job search and have started your career, however, the importance of a college education has not been exhausted. Having a college degree often provides for greater promotion opportunity.So, why should you go to college? The reasoning does not begin and end with the job aspect. A good education is beneficial from many different viewpoints, and though the importance of a college education is quite evident for many high school students, what is often not as clear is how they will pay for that education.46. Why do some high school graduates prefer working to college study?A. To obtain high-paying jobs.B. To earn money at an early age.C. To spend less money on tuition.D. To adapt to the knowledge-based society.47. The author most likely agrees with the idea that ____.A. too much time is spent on lectures in college study.B. high school education is a gateway to more opportunity.C. college graduates gain more chances over others in job market.D. a college degree guarantees promotion in American companies.48. What is most likely to be talked about in the paragraph after the last paragraph of the passage?A. Refusing college education.B. Changing college education.C. Receiving college education.D. Affording college education.49. What can be the best title for the passage?A. Importance of college education.B. Education means opportunity.C. Which is more important, job or education?D. How to survive in the college.50. Which of the following shows the development of ideas in the passage?I: Introduction P: Point Sp: Sub-point (次要点) C: ConclusionA. B.C. D.CSome people say that friendship is the only channel through which human beings can ever experience the value of life. In our daily life, it is likely that you share some common interests with others — they may like the same sport, go to the same school or like the same kind of music as you do. Since you often meet them, they become your acquaintances. Although some people develop many acquaintances, only a few become their good friends in their lifetime because there are differences between acquaintances and friends.It is said that true friendship begins when someone knows what you are really like, but still likes you anyway. A true friend shows loyalty from the very beginning of the relationship. A friend will go through challenges to help you without expecting anything in return. A “friend” today may probably become a “true friend” tomorrow when they get involved in unexpected circumstances together with you — for example, when you are going through a difficult experience and your friend is there to help you out. However, some acquaintances might leave you when you badly need their help. At this time, you can experience what true friendship is.In our life, some people seem to go through life with plenty of friends. They may be funny or they may have a bright and pleasant personality. For these people, wherever they go, people seem to like them and welcome their company. But when they go through challenging life experiences, some of their friends are not there to help them. Therefore we can say some of their friends are not real friends and their friendship is just skin-deep.However, others seem to go through life with no friends at all. They like to be alone, to travel by themselves or to do their own things. It’s a pity that few of these people find success in life because they have no friends. They lack the best gift in life — friendship.51. According to the passage, which of the following statements about acquaintances is TRUE?A. They have all of the same interests as you do.B. You seldom meet them in your life.C. They are sure to become your good friends.D. Not all of them can become your friends.52. According to the passage you may get to know the meaning of friendship better when you________.A. go to the same school as your friendB. get into troubleC. enjoy the same kind of music as your friendD. see your friend often53. We know from the passage that ________.A. it doesn’t matter whether one ha s friends or notB. people with bright personality are easy to have friendsC. people without friends are always unhappyD. it’s easier to lose a friend than to get one54. What does the underlined word “skin-deep” in the third paragraph mean?A. Very deep.B. Not deep at all.C. As precious as skin.D. Hidden under the skin.55. What’s the writer’s attitude towards people without friends in their life?A. Interested.B. Angry.C. Hopeful.D. Regretful.第II卷IV. 单词填空（共15小题；每小题1分；满分15分）1.

All the sounds I take for granted, had gone. I had entered a world of silence. This unsettling experience occurred a few weeks ago when I agreed to go deaf for a day to support the work of the charity Hearing Dogs for Deaf People, for which I am an ambassador.When I managed to take a cab to the office of my manager, Gavin, I couldn’t hear what the taxi driver was saying to me. Conversation was impossible. Then, when I reached the office, I had to ring the intercom (对讲机) five times as I couldn’t hear a response.Everybody said I was shouting at them ---I simply wasn’t aware of how loudly I was speaking as I couldn’t hear my own voice. Gavin kept telling me my phone was ringing, but I didn’t realize. I was too busy trying to concentrate on reading his lips. And when he tried to tell me a code to put into my phone, I had to keep asking him to repeat it, more slowly. Eventually he lost his patience and snapped at me: “Just give me the phone!” I was shocked.People couldn’t be bothered to repeat themselves, so they kept trying to do things for me that I was perfectly capable of doing myself. I felt I’d lost control.Being deaf for a day was extraordinarily tiring. I had to work so hard to “listen” with my eyes, get people’s attention and use my other senses to make up for my lack of hearing. It was a huge, exhausting effort.Until that experience, I didn’t realize how much I took my own hearing for granted, or the sorts of emotions and experiences deaf people go through. If a deaf person asks you to repeatsomething, never think: “It doesn’t matter.” It does matter.4．Why did the author focus on reading Gavin’s lips?A．He didn’t want to bother Gavin to repeat what he was saying.B．He wanted to be aware of what the code was.C．He attempted to get the code into the phone by himself.D．By doing this he could understand what Gavin was saying.5．What advice does the author give in the passage?A．Repeat things as slowly as possible for the deaf.B．Speak at the top of your voice if you can’t hear others speaking.C．Take your own hearing for granted.D．Do as many things as possible for the deaf.6．What can be inferred from the passage?A．It’s boring to live in a world of silence.B．Many ordinary people just take hearing for granted until they lose it.C．There are many other ways to help the deaf understand others.D．The author has to use gestures to communicate with his friends.7．What can be the best title of the passage?A．Listening with Eyes B．Helping the DeafC．Being Deaf for a Day D．The Importance of Reading LipsYou’ve heard an old Chinese saying before: Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime. You may even be nodding your head in agreement right now. However, we can have a different understanding about it.When a person is starving, that’s not the time to fill their head with knowledge but to first give the person a fish-eradicating their hunger-and only then teach them to fish. Far too often, people ignore this common sense first step. They see someone who is struggling, and they rush to offer wisdom. “Let me tell you what I’d do in your position,” a well-meaning individual might offer.But few of us understand the anxiety, confusion and uncertainty that come with overwhelming need. People meeting with personal disasters don’t have the ability to think straight.Their nerves may be shot. Their confidence may be non-existent. Can you imagine what it would be like to be in that person’s situation?Rushing to offer a struggling person long-term advice is a waste of time. Instead, it makes far more sense to help them regain their emotional balance. Once their ears, heart and mind open, you’ll have an opportunity to teach a new skill.But how do we know whether a person needs a fish before a fishing lesson? Two things: One is the ability to pay attention. We need to know whether the other person is open and receptive, or looking at the world through narrowed eyes? You can’t just take their words but have to look at how the person acts and what they don’t say. The other is empathy (共情).The more successful you are, the harder it is to imagine what it must be like to be the opposite. Try to create a safe environment for emotional acceptance before the fishing lesson.8．What is the function of the first paragraph?A．To illustrate a concept.B．To bring in a new viewpoint.C．To introduce the background.D．To put up an example.9．What does the underlined word “eradicating” mean in paragraph 2?A．Getting rid of.B．Paying attention to.C．Making up for.D．Putting up with.10．What should we do first for those in disasters?A．Get them to think straight.B．Enhance their confidence.C．Satisfy their primary needs.D．Teach them a new skill.11．Which does the author probably agree with according to the last paragraph?A．Live and learn.B．Never teach a fish to swim.C．Put yourself in others’ shoes.D．Don’t teach old dogs new tricks.Paper is one of our oldest, simplest and most important inventions. But it also presents a danger to the world in two significant ways. First, the making of paper requires the loss of millions of trees each year. Between 2001 and 2019, the world lost 386 million hectares of forest. Of the trees that were cut down, 42% went to paper production. And worldwide use of paper is expected to double in the next 40 years. Clearly, the planet cannot sustain such a high rate of forest loss.The second great problem with paper is what happens once it is no longer useful. A huge quantity of wastepaper ends up in dumps and landfills (垃圾填埋场), where it can produce harmful gases. Paper in landfills leads to the release (释放) of methane, a gas that is a significant contributor in global warming.One simple solution can greatly reduce both of these problems: paper recycling. Paper is mainly made from cellulose (纤维素), which makes up the cell walls of trees and many other plants. Because of its structure, cellulose can be used repeatedly in papermaking. So far, trees are the only source of cellulose that can fill the massive demand for paper products. Therefore, recycling paper is simply one of the best ways to save trees.Thanks to advances in processing, recycled paper isn’t the dull-colored stuff many of us are familiar with any more.
