fast!Translate this conversation into formal English："Wassˆ？" "N2 M，U？" If you figured it out right away,you are probably among the 60% of kids online who use instant messaging.Instant messages are typed so fast that users don't slow down to spell out words.As a result,new word abbreviations （缩写） and instant massaging slang are being invented faster than a high-speed Internet connection.Nearly half of all online teens believe that the Internet has made their friendships better.It's a quick,easy way to keep in touch.Steven Mintz,13，prefers instant messaging to the phone "because I can talk to more people at once." Chatting online is also a good way to keep up with friends who live far away.Kids don't have to worry about running up the telephone bill.Instant messaging is not always a friendship builder.Sometimes,kids use it to air angry or hurt feelings.Such kids aren't necessarily trying to be mean.Often,it's just easier to say something online than in person.Oliver Davies,11，California,says that with instant messaging,"I can express my emotions more easily,without having the guilt of saying it face-to-face."Many parents and teachers think kids' instant messaging habits are taking away from more important things.Some parents say that when their kids are waiting for a beep（哔哔声），it's hard for them to stay focused on homework.Teachers get upset when Internet slang,such as "u" and "r"，show up in kids' writing.Kids' safety is also a concern.Staying connected is fine,but an online friendship with a stranger is not.Many parents monitor（监视）instant messages,either by limiting time online or by keeping the computer in a common area.Researchers who study kids and the Internet say instant messaging isn't getting in the way of real life.They note that new technology often causes old,exaggerated（夸张的）fears. "It's similar to what was said in the 1980s about video games and in the 1960s about television," says Nalini Kotamraju,an expert on how kids use technology to communicate."Language has always changed,and it always will," Naomi Baron,a professor of linguistics said. "It must change as the things we do and things we encounter change."（1）What can we learn about instant messaging？ ___A.It helps kids to hide their feelings.B.Parents think it can be a distraction.C.Teens use it to avoid parental monitoring.D.It is a source of tension between kids and parents.（2）Video games and television are mentioned to ___ .A.argue that technology promotes communicationB.prove that the Internet gets in the way of real lifeC.show that new technology is more likely to be accepted by teensD.suggest that people often worry too much about new technology（3）What is the researchers' attitude towards instant messaging？ ___A.Supportive.B.Unclear.C.Doubtful.D.Disapproving.6.（填空题，8分）The health of millions could be at risk because supplies of medicinal plants are being used up.These plants are used to make traditional medicine,including drugs to fight cancer. "The loss of medicinal plants is a quiet disaster," says Sara Oldfield,secretary general of the NGO Botanic Gardens Conservation International.Most people worldwide rely on herbal（药草的）medicines which are got mostly from wild plants.But some 15，000 of the 50，000 medicinal species are under threat of dyingout,according to a report from the international conservation group Plantlife.Shortages have been reported in China,India,Kenya,Nepal,Tanzania and Uganda.Over-harvesting does the most harm,though pollution and competition from invasive species （入侵物种） and habitat destruction all contribute. "Businessmen generally harvest medicinal plants,not caring about sustainability （可持续性），" the Plantlife report says, "Damage is serious partly because they have no idea about it，but it is mainly because such collection is unorganized." Medicinal trees at risk include the Himalayan yew and the African cherry,which are used to treat some cancers.The solution,says the report's author,Alan Hamilton,is to encourage local people to protect these plants.Ten projects ran by Plantlife in India,Pakistan,China,Nepal,Uganda and Kenya showed this method can succeed.In Uganda,the project has kept a sustainable supply of low-costcancer treatments,and in China a public-run medicinal plant project has been created for the first time."Improving health,earning an income and keeping cultural traditions are important in encouraging people to protect medicinal plants," says Hamilton, "You have to pay attention to what people are interested in."Ghillean Prance,the former director of the Royal Botanic Gardens in London,agrees that medicinal plants are in need of protection. "Not nearly enough is being done.We are destroying the very plants that are of most use to us."（1）From the first two paragraphs,we can learn that ___ .lions of people are threatened with cancerB.most countries see a shortage of herbal medicinesC.about two thirds of medicinal species will disappearD.a number of medicinal species are in danger of extinction（2）The underlined word "it" in Paragraph 3 refers to ___ .A.pollutionB.sustainabilityC.over-harvestingD.other species' invasion（3）What can be inferred from the passage？ ___A.Protecting medicinal plants has a long way to go.B.Local people don't know how to protect medicinal plants.C.Ghillean Prance is optimistic about medicinal plants' future.D.China has made great progress in protecting medicinal plants.（4）Which of the following is the best title of the passage？ ___A.Low-cost Cancer TreatmentB.The Importance of SustainabilityC.Medicinal Plants Facing ExtinctionD.Sustainable Development of the Environment7.（填空题，10分）Online courses are an excellent way for busy people.（1）___ You might have a full time job with a busy schedule and need to study at irregular times.You might want to benefit from the quality of education in another country.In this article you will learn about what it takes to succeed in online courses.（2）___ Time management is an important skill to develop.First,calculate how much time you will need to study every day.Then,allot（分配）a specific time in your schedule forstudying.If you are busy during the day,then separate a few hours at night for studies.If you do not arrange study time,chances are you will not get any.Then,the good place to study can be different from student to student.Some prefer to study in complete silence.Others need some kind of soft music around them to concentrate.（3）___It can be easy to get distracted when it is time to study.One of the most common mistakes students of online courses make is leaving their chat and email accounts open while studying.（4）___ If you leave the door open for distraction it will come in and make itself at home.In conclusion,it takes hard work and concentration to succeed in online courses.（5）___ The more effort you put into learning the course material,the better equipped you will be to succeed in your professional career.A.Online courses may not be a good choice for you.B.There are many reasons you might want to take online courses.C.In order to succeed in online learning,you have to have some specific skills.D.Remember online courses are designed to give you the knowledge to succeed.E.The secret to succeeding in online courses is learning how to manage your time.F.This may seem like a small distraction,but it can end up wasting a lot of your time.G.For the most part,a quiet room away from your busy and noisy home or office is recommended.8.（问答题，12分）"Where are you going to college？" "I'm going to my local community college." My answer seemed to be the magic phrase that would wipe the smile right off many people's faces.It's clear that people have a lot of misunderstandings about community colleges. Many people think community colleges are only for people who couldn't get into a four-year school.But it is not true.In high school,I always got A's.But when it came to applying to colleges,I didn't know what I wanted to major in and didn't want to spend thousands of dollars at a 4-year school until I knew what I wanted to do.Some people will ask, "Since the community college is cheaper,will you get a good education？" I found that nearly all of my professors taught the same courses at 4-year colleges.My professors were knowledgeable and experienced,and I found many of the courses challenging. Some people think if I attend the community college,I will miss out on the "college experience".I must admit that this is something I worried about a great deal the summer before college.But I soon learned that the community college,just like any other college,is what you make of it.I made the most of my time at the community college.I also made tons of friends by joining clubs and attending student government meetings.I took a lot of different courses.I had an amazing professor who suggested I take herjournalism class.Never having written for my high school newspapers,I dared not take it,but since she was so enthusiastic,I eventually decided to have a try.That one course was all it took for me to realize that I wanted to become a journalist.Community colleges may not be for everyone,but for me it is a life-changing experience that has helped me discover who I am and the person I hope to become.（1）What do people think of community colleges？ ___（2）Who influenced the author to become a journalist？ ___（3）Please decide which part is false in the following statement,then underline it and explain why. ___• I chose the community college because I was a top student in high school.（4）In the author's situation,would you choose the community college？Why？（In about 40 words） ___9.（问答题，20分）假如你是红星中学高三（1）班学生李华。

She often played with her older twin brothers, Jason and Jamal. “Jessica is a good soccer player,” said Jason. “But she is too small.” added Jamal.The twins played for the school soccer team — the Dragons.

Four of their players had chicken pox(水痘) and they only had ten players. If they didn’t have eleven players, they couldn’t play and the Sharks would 15 the match.“I’ll play for you,” said a little voice. It was Jessica. Everyone laughed bec ause she was a girl and she was so small. “It doesn’t matter. With 16 players, we’ll be able to play the game,” said Coach.Coach told Jessica not to move from the center circle. She was not to kick the ball. The teams lined up, ready to play. The boys on the Sharks team pointed at Jessica. They 17at her because her shirt was big.

"It was their first night at the shelter,and her child had a birthday.We had an extra gift for her-pink headphones.The little girl was so excited.And her mom…she's crying. 'I never imagined we would ever need to be in a shelter.I didn't know what to expect.But I really didn't expect a birthday party for my child.' she cried with happiness."Doing her best to normalize these kids' lives is both heartwarming and bittersweet,Mary says. "If you look outside,you see homeless person after homeless person on the street,and it reminds you that these kids don't get to leave this area after the party."It may be why,after throwing 88 parties,she still cries after each one.She credits the kids in the shelter with helping her hold on to hope. "We didn't realize how much joy they were going to bring us," she told CBS News. "And it was so healing for both kids and us."（1）In Skid Row,hundreds of kids ___ .A.were homelessB.lost their parentsC.dropped out of schoolD.were crazy about parties（2）How did the couple help the kids？ ___A.They raised much money.B.They rented many houses.C.They hosted birthday parties.D.They made birthday presents.（3）According to the passage,which can best describe Mary？ ___A.Honest and generous.B.Caring and generous.C.Outgoing and caring.D.Outgoing and honest.（4）What does the story intend to tell us？ ___A.Well begun,half done.B.East or west,home is best.C.What goes around comes around.D.Where there is love,there is hope.5.（填空题，6分）Wildfires have recently ruined regions across the world,and their severity is increasing.Hoping to reduce harm,researchers led by Yapei Wang,a chemist at Renmin University of China,say they have developed an inexpensive device to detect such fires earlier and with less effort.Current detection methods rely heavily on human watchfulness,which can delay an effective response.Most wildfires are reported by the general public,and other warnings come from routine foot patrols（巡逻队） and watchtower observers.Passing planes and satellites also occasionally spot something,but "the fire first appears on the ground," Wang says. "When you see the fire from the sky,it is too late."The team says its new device can be placed near tree trunks' bases and send a wireless signal to a nearby receiver if there is an unusual temperature increase.The key is molten salts（熔盐）liquids：a sudden temperature change causes electrons（电子） to travel within the liquids,creating electrical energy that causes electrodes to send the signal.The team printed the substances onto ordinary paper to create a sensor.Jessica McCarty,a geographer at Miami University,who was not involved in the study,says places where wildland and city meet could potentially benefit from such a device.She says, "When a fire breaks out,the homeowner will know before the fire agency may have detected it." But improving integration among the different agencies involved in firefighting is even more vital to address,says Graham Kent,a seismologist at the University of Nevada,who was also not part of the study. "The whole way that you respond to a fire until it's put out is like a ballet," he says. "You'd have to choreograph（编舞） it just so," with resources distributed at precisely the right time and place from detection to confirmation to dispatch（派遣） to extinguishing. "Fire detection is just step one；if you blow steps two through 98，all that techn ology…just doesn't matter."Wang says his team's next steps are to extend the device's signal range beyond the current 100 meters,which can limit practical use,and to develop a protective wall for it.The device's effectiveness,McCarty notes,will also need to be tested in the field.（1）What can we learn about the new device？___A.It can spot fire from the sky.B.It can send timely warning of fire.C.It uses molten salts to test the signal.D.It receives signals from tree trunks' bases.（2）According to Graham Kent,what is the key to firefighting？___A.The time for detection.B.The provided new technology.C.Precisely distributed resources.D.Cooperation of different departments.（3）What would be the best title for the passage？___A.Fighting Fire with PaperB.Fire Is under ControlC.Fighting Fire in the ForestD.Firefighting Is a Matter of Urgency6.（填空题，6分）Humans have a habit of delaying their own progress.From coffee to refrigerator to genetically changed food,history is filled with innovations that caused resistance before they become necessity in everyday life.Calestous Juma,a professor of Harvard University,explores this phenomenon in his latest book,Innovation and Its Enemies：Why People Resist New Technologies.Among Juma's claims is that people do not fear innovation simply because the technology is new,but because innovation often means losing a piece of their identity or lifestyle,and separating people from nature or their sense of purpose.Juma identified in his research three key sources of opposition to innovation：those with commercial interests in existing products,those who identify with existing products,and those who might lose power as a result of change.The first group is perhaps the most obvious.Many industries have been affected by innovation.Just take a look at the pointless efforts of music publishers to stop the change to digital music.Some consumers might oppose an innovation because the existing product is deeply rooted in their identity,culture or customs.The British preferred tea time at home to sitting in a coffee shop,for example.Finally,the rise of new technologies can also result in a change redistributing wealth and influence away from some groups,and toward others.The expansion of harvesters and other mechanical equipment reduced the need for farm labor,and the change in population away from rural areas had significant political consequence.Humans make decisions about new innovations with their instinct（直觉） rather than evidence.Opponents and enthusiasts of a new technology will often make shocking claims to support their arguments.Juma said beneath those arguments was typically obvious concern ofnew technologies,rather than a reasoned response.Juma said, "People see a new product and there is an emotional reaction to that product because it challenges their outlook on the world.This has been the story with almost every new product."Historically,technologists have been more concerned with the functionality of the products they create,paying less attention to the consequence it may have on society at large,Juma claims.Fortunately,that may be starting to change.（1）According to Para.2 and 3，what is the key reason why people resist innovation？___A.The reliability of the existing technologies.B.The difficulties of mastering new technologies.C.The concern over the development of technologies.D.The fear for the changes caused by new technologies.（2）What is the author's attitude to people's opposition to innovation？___A.Uncertain.B.Disapproving.C.Supportive.D.Neutral.（3）What does the passage imply？___A.Technologies' effect on society should be valued.B.The use of new products reduces the need for labor.C.Enthusiasts of the technologies are more reasonable.D.The functionality of new products causes more worries.7.（填空题，10分）What is your recovery rate？How long does it take you to recover from actions and behaviors that upset you？Minutes？Hours？Days？Weeks？Briefly,the longer it takes you to recover,the more influence that incident has on your actions,and the less able you are to perform to your personal best.（1）___You are well aware that you need to exercise to keep the body fit and,no doubt,accept that a reasonable measure of health is the speed in which your heart and respiratory system（呼吸系统） recovers after exercise.Likewise the faster you let go of an issue that upsets you,the faster you return to calm,the healthier you will be.（2）___ They know that the faster they can forget an incident or missed opportunity and get on with the game,the better their performance.Similarly,imagine yourself to be an actor in a play on the stage.（3）___ You have been given a script and at the end of each sentence is a full stop.Each time you get to the end of the sentence you start a new one.Although the next sentence is related to the last it is not affected by it.Your job is to deliver each sentence to the best of your ability.So,it is unnecessary to live your life in the past.（4）___ Thoughts of the past shouldn't be allowed to reduce your personal best.Being present is a gateway to recover quickly.（5）___ Reflect on your recovery rate each day.Every day before you go to bed,look at your progress.When you are lying in bed,you shouldn't blame yourself for having done this wrong or not having done that better,but look at your day and note when you made an effort to place a full stop after an incident.In this way,you are taking control of your life and achieve the aim：reduce the time spent in recovery.A.You're undertaking real changes here.B.Remember：Rome wasn't built in a day.C.Here are some cases where you can learn about it.D.Your aim is to play your part to the best of your ability.E.Instead of the past,it is the present that you have to focus on.F.The best example of this behavior is found with professional sportspeople.G.It's said that the average time for sportspeople to win the game is 30 minutes.8.（问答题，13分）Balancing Trees and CO2Tree planting used to be regarded as an effective means of reducing climate change.Perhaps it's time for us to rethink this practice.Trees pull CO2 from the air.This effectively removes CO2 from the atmosphere.But trees only hold onto CO2 as long as they're alive.Once they die,trees decay（腐烂） and release that CO2 back into the atmosphere.Recent studies have found that trees around the world are growing faster than ever.The rise of CO2，mainly due to burning fossil fuels,is probably driving that rapid growth,said Roel Brienen,a forest ecologist at the University of Leeds,UK.High levels of CO2 are increasing temperatures,which in turn speeds tree growth in those areas,he added.The faster trees grow,the faster they store carbon.It seems like good news.However,it is known that fast-growing tree species,in general,live shorter lives than their slow-growing relatives.In order to see whether the growth-lifespan trade-off（生长与寿命之间的权衡） is a universal phenomenon,Brienen and his colleagues analyzed over 210，000 individual tree ring records of 110 tree species from more than 79，000 sites worldwide.They found that,in almost all habitats and all sites,faster-growing tree species died younger than slow-growing species,and even within a species,the trade-off between growth and lifespan held strong.The team also created a computer program that modeled a forest and tweaked（微量调整）the growth of the trees in this model.Early on,it showed that "the forest could hold more carbonas the trees grew faster"，Brienen reported.But after 20 years,these trees started dying and losing this extra carbon again. "We must understand that the only solution to bringing down CO2 levels is to stop emitting （排放） it into the atmosphere," said Brienen.（1）What does "this practice" in Para.1 refer to？ ___（2）Why are trees around the world growing faster than ever？ ___（3）Read the following statement,underline the false part of it and explain the reason.The team has found that the faster trees grow,the faster they store CO2，and the longer lives they live.___（4）Please briefly present what you can do in daily life to reduce the emission of CO2 . （about 40 words）___9.（问答题，20分）假设你是红星中学高三学生李华。

It is the night before handing in the report, and Emily Regan still has to research and write the ten-page paper Emily's problem is procrastination(拖延症). She has waited to do her work until the very last second and now she is stressed and has to work through the night to complete her paper. Procrastination is a problem for many students, but it does not have to be. Instead of waiting to start your homework until just before the deadline, you can follow these simple steps to avoid procrastination.First, do a little bit every day rather than all at once.For example, in Emily's case, she could have spent 30minutes a day working on that research paper anddivided her work into parts. One week could have beenspent doing research, one week writing an outline, oneweek writing the first draft (初稿), and the final weekcould have been spent finalizing the paper. Then,schedule(安排)that study time into your daily life. Treat your work like any other fun activities you have. Remember, you are the boss and it is up to you to follow your schedule. Be responsible for yourself and do not make any other plans during the time you have set aside that will prevent you from doing your work.Once you have organized your time in this way, it is important to find a place to work where there are few distractions(干扰). For example, if you are writing a paper, do not go on the Internet to check your email or see who else is online, and do not stay in a room where there is a TV. Instead, focus on the work you planned for that time. Then you can reward (奖励)yourself for your hard work by doing whatever you want—emailing, chatting with friends, or watching television. You will probably enjoy yourself more because you will not have the work hangingover your head and stressing you out.Although procrastination is a common mistake that many students make, do not put yourself in Emily's shoes and leave work until the last minute. It is easy to make some simple changes in the way you work to prevent it from happening.34. What does Emily Regan have to do the night before handing in the report?35. What is the first thing you can do to avoid procrastination?36. How can you reward yourself for your hard work?37. What do you think of procrastination? What do you suggest people do to avoid procrastination?(List at least two ways)2022年北京市丰台区中考一模英语试卷四、阅读回答问题阅读表达Can you imagine being an inventor with one arm at the age of 10? Well, it’s possible, and Jordan Reeves is one example.Jordan was born with a condition called limb(肢体) difference, as her left arm stopped growing before she was born. But she is active and outgoing, and has used every opportunity to share her story and encourage others.She got attention when she took part in what she calls “Project Unicorn”. She created a superhero persona(角色) called “Glitter(闪光的) Girl”. She wanted to design a prosthetic(假体的) arm that could shoot glitter, as she hoped to share her joy with thousands of people with limb differences all around the world.She continued to work with a professional designer as her idea gained popularity, and she went on to display her prototype(原型) on national television when she was only 11 years old. “When people hear about disabilities, they think, ‘Oh, that is so sad.’ But this turned it into something joyful.”In the years since, Jordan has done a lot. For one, she created an online petition(请愿) to speak for kids with limb differences. In addition, Jordan was later asked to work with Mattel, the company known for creating the Barbie doll, and a doll was made in her likeness Not only has Jordan become an inventor and designer, but she has also become aninspirational speaker. Most recently, she started her own workshops called Design With Us. Youth with disabilities can find inspiration from their own lives and experiences to create original designs there.Jordan has no plan to stop. She said, “If you have a passion or a want to change something, go for it. What you say can make a difference no matter how big ... Youth voices matter and need to be heard.”34．What kind of condition was Jordan born with?__________________________________35．Why did Jordan want to design a prosthetic arm that could shoot glitter?__________________________________36．How old was Jordan when she displayed her prototype on national television?__________________________________37．What can youth with disabilities do in the workshops?__________________________________38．What can you learn from Jordan Reeves?__________________________________2021年北京市丰台区中考一模英语试卷Students at Bullock Creek High School in Midland, Michigan found an unusual way to raise money for their robotics team.Every year, 28 students on the Blitz Creek team take part in a national robotics competition, where students are challenged to create a robot that can perform certain tasks. They design robots, build them, and write the programs that run them.But buildi ng robots isn’t cheap. Maxton Herst joined the team in the ninth grade, and later he became the captain of the robotics team. By accident, Maxton Herst saw a video about a toilet paper pyramid. Maxton realized that it was possible to build a record-setting pyramid, and then sell the toilet paper to get money for their program. All the team members agreed to try his idea.Blitz Creek has been planning the pyramid since last May. One challenge was calculating(计算) how many rolls of paper were needed. The answer turned out to be 27,434.In late December, team members gave up part of their winter holiday to build the pyramid. The pyramid was so big that they had to build it from the inside before backing out and filling in the areas where they had been standing. It took about 16 hours, with many people working, to complete the pyramid. The final height of the pyramid was 4.95 meters tall, which is about 61 centimeters taller than the current(当前的) Guinness World Record.The pyramid opened for viewing on January 4, 2020. Sadly, because the pyramid was in the school’s front hall, it could only stay for three days. With all the excitement caused by the pyramid, it turned out to be fairly easy to sell the toilet paper. Many supporters did help. Families and teachers bought half of the paper. A large company bought the rest. The team made about $10,000 from the event, which will help pay for its activities.Maxton talks about the success of his crazy idea. “If you’ve got an idea, and you know that this idea is good, p ush it,” he says. “Don’t stop.”34．What did the students at Bullock Creek High School raise money for?________________________35．What did the students do to get money?________________________36．How much money did the students make?________________________37．Who were the supporters?________________________38．What made Maxton’s idea successful?________________________答案：2023年北京市丰台区中考一模英语试卷34.

She had no children and lived a lonely life. She was so poor that she had to work hard every day.But one night as she sat at her work, the lady said to herself while the winds blew, “I wish I could be of some use in the world. Why can’t I do good to someone besides myself?” At last, she came up with an idea.She decided that she would keep a lighted lamp at the window for the sailors every night. She found that ships sometimes were broken up on the rocks in the sea, since there was no lighthouse to warn them of their danger at night. Maybe her lamp would warn them when their ships came near the rocks on the coast.The lady felt glad when the thought flashed through her mind. She found that, if she worked an hour later each night, she could earn enough to pay for the oil for the lamp. So she worked late and earned money to buy the oil; and then she placed the lamp at the window each night. In this way she saved many lives.She did this for five years without reward, or the hope of reward. However, good deeds (行为) are often found out. The sailors whose lives had been saved began to send gifts to her from faraway countries. They sent her tea from China, cloth from India, silk from France and grapes from Spain. But the poor lady did not need these gifts to make her happy. She gave many of them to the poor and the sick.She was happy with the thought that she was doing good. So, as long as she lived, she lit her lamp each night, and placed it at the window. 24．The lady decided to light the lamp for _______. A ．the sickB ．the childrenC ．the poorD ．the sailors25．How could the lady pay for the lamp oil? A ．She worked one more hour each night. B ．She raised money from the sailors.

A ．she got gifts from faraway countries B ．she helped many people in her way C ．the sailors gave gifts to the sick D ．the sailors found out her deedsWhether we admit it or not, many of us have experienced loneliness. Last month, a survey done by US health service company Cigna found that loneliness has become a common situation in the country. It even found that young people aged 18-22 are more likely to feel lonely than the elders. Loneliness often leads to the emotions of sadness and loss, and can even “make us sick”. So, how do we deal with the pain of loneliness?Throwing ourselves into distractions can be useful. US lifestyle writer Adrienne Breaux wrote about how she turned loneliness into a productive learning process. She used to be a terrible cook, but whenever loneliness hit her, she would buy a lot of ingredients and try out how to make them into delicious dishes. After a few months, she became good at cooking dishes she’d never even made before.This is a typical example of how loneliness gets us out of our comfort zone and allows us to grow. “When it comes to keeping loneliness at bay (控制住) , one of the best ways is to occupy your time with things that feel enriching, creative and exciting.” Breaux wrote, “It’s hard to feel lonely when you’re trying to master a new skill, practice a hobby or try out a new recipe.”The attitude we choose toward loneliness is also the key to deal with it. If we see loneliness as an unwanted and annoying thing, we will suffer it. But if we admit that it’s an everyday part of life, we’ll be able to “embrace (拥抱) the beauty of our solo journey”, as best-selling US author Mandy Hale wrote in her book The Single Woman .Instead of desperately (拼命地) finding someone to talk to or go out with, trying to have fun on our own is more practical. US Internet writer Kayla Albert shared a story of her friend, who uses her time alone to do what she really wants to do. Her friend goes out for dinner,lifestyle brings her joyfulness and gracefulness.So, we can do it too. Indeed, sometimes, the best songs are the ones performed alone. 27．The survey from Cigna in Paragraph 1 tells _______.A．when people might experience lonelinessB．how common the problem of loneliness isC．how people deal with the pain from lonelinessD．what kind of people might suffer from loneliness28．What was Adrienne Breaux’s solution when loneliness hit her?A．To keep herself in the comfort zone.B．To get a new job being a good cook.C．To spend time for self-improvement.D．To relax by writing her lonely feeling.29．What can we learn from the passage?A．Going out with friends is better than staying alone.B．The key to solve loneliness is to accept and enjoy it.C．The pain of loneliness gets worse as people get older.D．Seeing loneliness as an unwanted thing helps us avoid it.No one wants to work at a messy desk and look lazy or sloppy. But does a messy desktop actually make you either of those things? Not all disorders mean you’re out of control. Even Steve Jobs thought his personal charm came from his messy desktop.People who prefer a messy desk have their own ideas. Some think it makes them comfortable. A too-tidy room can sometimes make them uncomfortable, because it seems there is no place to rest their feet. Some believe it helps them concentrate more easily. Messy tables can make it easier to focus on the tasks, just like some novelists can write patiently in a noisy café. Others may be perfectionists. For those who strive for perfection, tasks are either 100% or 0% performed. Therefore, they usually put away the less important things and perform the most important ones perfectly, which leads to paper mountains on the desktop.Many people are labeled as “sloppy” and “inefficient” because of messy tabletops. However, when we see the desks of Albert Einstein, Mark Twain and Mark Zuckerberg — pioneers of their times — things might change. Obviously, the world embraces uniformityand order; it also never refuses regular disorder, which seems like a mess but runs in anorganized way.In an experiment done by psychologist Kathleen V ohs, participants (参与者) were asked to come up with new uses for ping-pong balls. Both participants in the messy and clean offices created the same number of ideas. However, those in the messy room came up with more interesting and creative ideas. People who don’t keep a neat and tidy desktop can actually develop organizational skills and manage work and thoughts successfully, even while swamped in (淹没于) piles of books, notes and documents.In spite of great disorder, a messy desktop presents information clearly, which can sometimes inspire us unconsciously (无意识地).Research has found people working with a messy desktop are more likely to be creative and willing to take risks, while people with a tidy one tend to follow the rules and are less likely to try new things. V ohs says, “Disorderly environments seem to inspire breaking free of tradition, which can produce fresh insights.”But a messy desk might not be ideal all the time. When you need new ideas, a messy desk might be a good choice; but when you want to be efficient (高效的) and perform a task successfully, it seems better to make a desk clean and tidy.No matter what kind of desk you prefer, we hope you feel comfortable and enjoy it! 30．The underlined phrase “strive for” in Paragraph 2 probably means “_____”.A．fight for B．is interested inC．is afraid of D．keep away from31．The writer talks about the experiment in the fourth paragraph to ________. A．encourage people to have messy desks as they likeB．explain the reasons why people like the messy desksC．introduce a new way of being creative and interestingD．show the influence of messy desks on people’s minds32．The writer probably agrees that people with messy desks might ________.A．be intelligent and successfulB．have good behaviors and habitsC．become idea men and risk takersD．finish the task quickly and perfectly33．Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A．Messy Desk: Do People Need to Change It?B．Messy Desk: Do People Find Excuses for It?订…………○__考号：___________…………………○……C ．Messy Desk: Does It Make People Comfortable?

It beat European team 3:0 in South Korea. It was the first time that a club from China’s LPL (League of Legends Pro League) won the title in the world championship’s eight-year history. So what is esports?Esports (Electronic Sports) is a form of competition using video games between professional players. It is not only a simple game in a sense, but a sport in which players use electronic equipment to play against each other in intelligence. It can improve the players’ thinking ability, heart-to-eye coordination (协调), willpower and develop team spirit.In 2003, esports became the 99th sport in China. However, esports is different from traditional sports and online games. Traditional sports athletes mainly train their physical ability and skills, such as muscle memory, exercising and dieting; while esports athletes’ training is mostly about the mind, such as studying strategies (策略) and new updates for the game.The industry has been developed for more than 10 years, but the public usually hold the opinion that playing online games has no benefit but taking one’s attention away from their duties. In fact, there are several differences between esports and online games ：First, the basic features. Online games are entertainment games while esports is a sport. Esports is an intellectual competition between people in an organized environment created by information technology.Second, the game rules. Esports has clear game rules. Its biggest feature is strict time and round limitations. However, online games are lack of clear rules of the game. Without time limit, it’s easy for people especially teenagers to be addicted to (沉迷于) it.Third, the sports spirit. Esports competitions between athletes pay great attention to fair sports spirit. Some online games only need to recharge (充钱) to gain advantages, which is the main difference between esports and online games.In the upcoming 2022 Asian Games to be held in Hangzhou, esports will officially become a medal event. Esports is a new sporting activity. It will take a long time to grow into a mature industry like NBA (the National Basketball Association of the US). Let’s have a better understanding of esports and expect its bright future. 34．Which club won the world championship title in LOL in 2018?_______________________________________________________________ 35．What is esports?_______________________________________________________________ 36．When did esports become the 99th sport in China?_______________________________________________________________ 37．What is esports athletes’ training about?_______________________________________________________________ 38．What is the passage mainly about?_______________________________________________________________五、电子邮件 39．假如你是李华，你打算邀请你们班的英国交换生Peter 周末去老舍茶馆体验中国的茶文化。

the neighborhood in his wheelchair with their newborn,they were up for the challenge.Chelsie's husband,Jeremy,underwent brain surgery for a tumor（肿瘤）three years ago,and since then it has been difficult for him to keep his balance.He wanted to be able to safely hold his baby,but "there's just really not a ton of resources out there for disabled parents," Chelsie said.She then asked her colleague,Matt Zigler,who teaches the "Making for Social Good" class,for assistance.In this course,students design products to help people,and the 10 high schoolers came up with something that could attach to the wheelchair Jeremy uses.They spoke with the Kings about their needs,conducted research on infant（婴儿）car seats and how they are installed,and then used the school's Maker Space to 3 D print several parts and bought others.They even borrowed a wheelchair from the school nurse to use as a model for things like weight testing. "I really feel the students took all my concerns to heart when creating the prototypes（雏形），" Jeremysaid.Two projects were selected for the students to make - one that connected an infant car seat to Jeremy's wheelchair and another that attached an entire stroller to the wheelchair."Children grow and they grow out of a car seat,so we want Mr.King to be able to walk with his son no matter what age he is," student Jacob Zlotnitsky said.When they were done making the attachments,the students put the instructions online to help even more people.They finished constructing both designs within one month.The Kings went out with the car seat attachment,and found it worked perfectly.The students were excited to learn that their creation was a hit. "I feel fortunate to have been able to take a class that has allowed me to truly make life easier for others," Zlotnitsky said.（1）Why did Chelsie King ask the students for help？ ___A.Jeremy needed brain surgery.B.Jeremy couldn't walk his baby.C.Jeremy couldn't stand on his own feet.D.Jeremy had no resources for disabled parents.（2）To help Jeremy,the students ___ .A.bought a new wheelchair for himB.did research with stroller producersC.produced 2 types of wheelchair attachmentsD.asked other disabled people about their needs（3）According to the passage,the students were excited mainly because ___ .A.they had taken the courseB.their work was successfulC.their work was finished in timeD.they shared the instructions online（4）What does the story intend to tell us？ ___A.Life is full of challenges.B.Failure is the mother of success.C.Experience is the key to problem solution.D.Creativity and kindness can make a difference.5.（填空题，6分）We rely on our memory not only for sharing stories with friends or learning from our past experiences,but we also use it for crucial things like creating a sense of personal identity.Yet evidence shows that our memory isn't as consistent as we'd like to believe.There are countless reasons why tiny mistakes might happen each time we recall past events,ranging from what we believe is true or wish were true,to what someone else told us about the past event,or what we want that person to think.And whenever these mistakes happen,they can have long-term effects on how we'll recall that memory in the future.Take storytelling for example.When we describe our memories to other people,we might ask ourselves whether it's vital to get the facts straight,or whether we only want to make the listener laugh.And we might change the story's details depending on the listener's attitudes.It isn't only the message that changes,but sometimes it's also the memory itself.This is known as the "audience-tuning effect"，showing us how our memories can change automatically over time,as a product of how,when,and why we access them.In fact,sometimes simply the act of rehearsing（复述）a memory can be exactly what makes it susceptible（易受影响的）to change.This is known as "retrieval-enhanced suggestibility".In a typical study of this effect,participants watched a short film,then took a memory test a few days later.But during the days between watching the film and taking the final test,two other things happened.First,half of the participants took a practice memory test.Second,all of the participants were given a description of the film to read,which contained some false details.Participants who took a practice memory test shortly before reading the false information were more likely to reproduce this false information in the final memory test.Why might this be？One theory is that rehearsing our memories of past events can temporarily make those memories malleable.In other words,retrieving（找回）a memory might be a bit like taking ice-cream out of the freezer and leaving it in direct sunlight for a while.By the time our memory goes back into the freezer,it might have naturally become a little misshapen,especially if someone has influenced it purposely in the meantime.These findings lead us to wonder how much our most treasured memories have changed since the very first time we remembered them.Remembering is an act of storytelling,afterall.And our memories are only ever as reliable as the most recent story we told ourselves.（1）According to the "audience-tuning effect"，our memories can ___ .A.change our personal identityB.correct mistakes on their ownC.determine our attitudes to othersD.be affected by how we handle them（2）What can we infer from the study of "retrieval-enhanced suggestibility"？ ___A.Practice can make imperfect.B.Storytelling brings back memories.C.Rehearsing contributes to better memories.D.Memory abilities vary from person to person.（3）What does the underlined word "malleable" in Paragraph 5 probably mean？ ___A.Acceptable.B.Valuable.C.Changeable.D.Controllable.6.（填空题，8分）In "the repair shop"，a British television series,craftsmen（工匠）mend family heirlooms（传家宝）that viewers have brought to their workshop.The attraction comes from watching them apply their craft to restore these heirlooms and the emotional appeal from the tears that follow when the owner is presented with the beautifully restored heirlooms.Perhaps the idea of craftsmanship is not simply nostalgic（怀旧的）.In a new paper in the Academy of Management,five academics examine the idea of crafts as a way of remaking the organization of work.They define craft as "a humanist approach to work that prioritizes human engagement over machine control".Crafts require distinct skills,an all-round approach to work that involves the whole product and an attitude that necessitates devotion to the job and a focus on the communal interest.The concept of craft emphasizes the human touch and individual judgment.Essentially,the crafts concept seems to run against the management studies which have long prioritized efficiency and consistency.There are two potential markets for those who practise crafts.The first comes from the consumers who are willing to pay an extra price for goods considered to be of extra quality.This market stretches all the way down from designer fashion through craft beers to bakeries offering loaves made by hand.The second market lies in those consumers who wish to use their purchases to support local workers,or to reduce their environmental impact by taking goods to craftspeople to be mended,or recycled.For workers,the appeal of craftsmanship is that it allows them the autonomy to make creative choices,and thus makes a job far more satisfying.In that sense,it could offer hope for the overall labor market.Let the machines automate dull and repetitive tasks and let workers focus purely on their skills,judgment and imagination.As a current example,the academics cite the agile manifesto（敏捷软件开发宣言）in the software sector,an industry at the heart of technological change.The pioneers behind the original agile manifesto promised to prioritize "individuals and interactions over processes and tools".By bringing together experts from different teams,agileworking is designed to improve creativity.But the broader question is whether crafts can create a lot more jobs than they dotoday.Demand for crafted products may rise but will it be easy to retrain workers in sectors that might get automated（such as truck drivers）to take advantage？History also suggests that the link between crafts and creativity is not automatic.Young craftsmen are expected to spend long periods as journeymen before they could set up on their own；by that time the innovative spirit may have been knocked out of them.Craft workers can thrive in the modern era,but only if they don't get too organized.（1）Which of the following is true about craft？ ___A.It emphasizes the importance of marketing.B.It slows the expansion of potential markets.C.It generates greater efficiency and consistency.D.It requires comprehensive understanding of work.（2）The "agile manifesto" is mentioned to show ___ .A.the competition in the labor marketB.the benefit of craftsmanship to workersC.the advantage of mechanical automationD.the importance of software in technological change（3）In the last two paragraphs,the author intends to express ___ .A.anxiety over the loss of craftsB.concern for the prospect of craftsC.disappointment with craft workersD.expectation of the rise in craft production（4）What is the best title for the passage？ ___A.The Emotional Appeal—Crafts and RestorationB.The Humanist Approach—Crafts and InnovationC.The Human Touch—Crafts and the Future of WorkD.The Efficiency War—Crafts and Mass-produced Products7.（填空题，10分）How Culture Affects CuisineIt probably happened to you：You ate this incredible dessert in Turkey,you tried this fantastic dish in Spain,and you brought the recipe back home—just to feel the disappointment that what you cooked at home didn't pass the taste test.It's likely that groceries have different qualities in different countries.In the case of the UnitedStates and Europe this has very little to do with soil or climate.（1）___ Consumers in theU.S.have other preferences in groceries than most Europeans.It comes down to culture.Europeans often value quality more than quantity.Of course you will find out-of-season produce on the shelves of grocery stores as well.（2）___ Europeans especially are willing to give up short-term gain for a much greater long-term result.Take,for example,Italians produce dry-cured ham（干腌火腿）only during the waning moon that follows the full moon and it is practiced to this day.According to old farmer's lore,the meat could go bad,if it isn't cured by the moon.（3）___However,Americans believe in progress and the benefits of technology.It becomes clear why following tradition doesn't have to be a strong value.Food for U.S.consumers is produced and shipped across the country.（4）___ The industrialization of food production results in new breeds of produce.The population growth calls for higher quantities.Farmers and growers are paid for the amount,not for the flavor.（5）___ European cultures are rather regional,and this means food traditions have remained undamaged in fairly small areas.Within these regions and communities people often shop locally from regional producers.And they shop more frequently than Americans.Europeans often go to the local market daily whereas millions of shoppers in the U.S.purchase one or two weeks' supply of groceries in one single visit to the big box store.All these consumer choices,based on cultural behaviors,have had a lasting impact on how our food is grown and what it tastes like.A.Geography plays another role here.B.Refrigeration makes it possible to store foods longer.C.However,demand for better quality is greater in their countries.D.This great interest in culinary（烹饪的）tradition is a cultural feature.E.The main reason why produce tastes different here and there is choice.F.Food provides the world with one of the only ways to universally communicate.G.Often our culinary preferences have an effect on the vacation destinations we choose.8.（问答题，12分）When 16-year-old Violet Brill looks out her window,she doesn't see only grass and trees—she sees a great meal.Her father,famous plant expert Steve "Wildman"Brill,carried her along on his foraging（觅食） tours from the time she was a little girl.In the past decade or so,a renewed interest in foraging for edible（可食用的） plants has begun to appear—an interest that has truly blossomed recently."I think we've had a lot of time to get outdoors,and look around," says Adele Nozedar,author of Foraging for Kids. "There is rapid growth in foraging in the past year."Kids are natural-born foragers.Take them out into the woods and they'll happily gather fallen leaves,or root around in the undergrowth for hidden treasures.Foraging is definitely a gatewayto nature.Kids learn quickly that it's not just a bunch of green stuff outside.All those plants havea purpose.And by encouraging a love of nature,foraging also encourages a love of the environment. "Having a strong connection to the land means you're more likely to protect it," says Dave Hamilton,author of Family Foraging. "And you can't get much more connected to the land than eating from it."Plus,foraging brings good news for parents of picky eaters：When kids search for and pick their own food,they're more likely to be invested in it.Foraging for wild edibles encourages kids to try new,nutritious foods—especially kids who tend to turn their noses up at the vegetableson their plates.For instance,Hamilton remembers taking a group of boys camping and asking them to gather enough lambsquarters for dinner.They came back with three days' worth of the greens,which he turned into a pesto（青酱）."They absolutely loved it," he says. "There's something empowering about finding your own food,especially for kids."（1）What interest has begun to appear recently？ ___（2）According to Dave,what is the benefit of foraging？ ___（3）Please decide which part is false in the following statement,then underline it and explain why. ___Parents of picky eaters welcome foraging because the foraged foods are new and nutritious. （4）In addition to the benefits mentioned in this passage,what do you think are some other benefits of foraging？（In about 40 words） ___9.（问答题，20分）假设你是红星中学高三学生李华，你在学校英语演讲比赛中荣获一等奖。
