AA quarter of the world's humans are at home right now. If you're reading this, chances are that you're one of them. Yes, it's important to stay safe indoors to protect ourselves and others, but that doesn't mean you can't have a good time. We will create an endless list of things to do indoors. Stick with us and we promise you won't be bored for a second.Catch up on literary classicsYou know that pile of books that you haven't ever quite managed to get into? There'll never be a better time to conquer it. And if you've already exhausted your library, you can now access more than a million books for free online as part of the 'National Emergency Library'. Usually, you'd have to join a queue before being able to borrow anything. But now you can just dip into whatever you want, whenever.Join a virtual choirIf the videos of cities in lockdown coming together to sing on their balconies left you with a lump in your throat, here's your chance to add your sound to one of several online choirs popping up around the world. The Sofa Singers is a free online singing event that aims to 'bring people together from around the world to promote joy and human connection'. It involves hundreds of singers joining a Zoom call and learning a new song together.Form new bonds with your neighboursIn normal times, you might not be the type to actually talk to your neighbours. But let's be honest: your social life's a wreck right now, and you're going to make friends with the people next door, no matter what. So why nottake inspiration from Balcony Parties In Miami, or the Londoner Hosting Athletic Classes On His Doorstep? Go on, get social - in a distant kind of way, of course.21. What's the purpose of the writer? 'A. To enrich people's life.B. To educate the uncivilized.C. To train professional singers.D. To build a harmonious society.22.

Although I had a good job and owned an apartment in Manhattan, he feared my cupboards and refrigerator might be bare. I had recently moved from California, where my parents still lived in their suburban bungalow of 50 years, the house I grew up in.He wanted me to have a particular brand of fruitcake. "It reminds me of my mother's," he told me in a phone call. Ordering the fruitcake was his way of trying to take care of me from afar. "It should arrive the first week of December," he said. "As soon as you get it, let me know what you think." The first week of December passed with no sign of his fruitcake. Delayed by holiday mail, I assumed, or a backlog of orders.The day before my flight to California, the fruitcake still had not arrived. When I arrived at my parents' house,he said, "Did you get the fruitcake?" "No, but I'm sure it'll be there when I go home."As soon as the word left my lips, I realized that home, for them, was a kind of triggering（触发）word. Because wasn't this home? Wasn't I home now, with my parents greeting me, asking whether I was hungry after the long flight?January, February, and March came and went with no fruitcake. Though my father continued to ask about it, I never once considered lying and telling him yes, the fruitcake had finally arrived and was delicious. Instead I said, "That cake is traveling earth, and sooner or later it will land.""That's a good one!" he said,His sense of humor never wavered, and as time went on he would bring up the journey of his fruitcake now and then."I wonder where it is now," he'd say."It's taken a detour（绕道）to Pluto（冥王星）."He liked that one too."Do you want me to order another, in case it never comes?""That's OK. Dad. I said. "I'll wait for this one. It'll taste even better after touring the universe."Early last December, nearly a year after my father died from a failing heart, I got a call from a staffer at the front desk of my apartment building."You have a package," he said.24. Why did the author's father purchase a fruitcake for her a few years ago?A. Because her father missed his own mother so much.B. Because her father was concerned about her very much.C. Because her father knew she was too busy to buy one herself.D. Because her father wanted to share a particular brand of fruitcake with her.25. Which word can be used to describe the author's feeling in paragraph 4?A. Regretful.B. Shocked.C. Unbelievable.D. Heartbroken.26. What can we know about the fruitcake according to the text?A. It was touring the universe.B. It failed to reach the author.C. It arrived after the author's father died.D. It was sent to her before she left for California.27. What is the best title for the text?A. A Late Call.B. Dad's Package.C. Adventure of a Gift.D. Grandma's Fruitcake.CListening to new music is hard. Not hard compared to going to space or war, but hard compared to listening to music we already know.There is a physiological explanation in our desire to seek comfort in the familiar. It can help us understand why listening to new music is so hard, and why it can make us feel uneasy, angry, or even riotous（暴乱的）. It has to do with the plasticity of our brains.When it comes to hearing music, a network of nerves in the auditory cortex called the corticofugal（离皮质的）network helps classify the different patterns of music. When a specific sound maps onto a pattern, our brains release an amount of dopamine（多巴胺）, the main chemical source of some of our most intense emotions. This is the essential reason why music triggers such powerful emotional reactions.Take the chorus of a song by Adele or Bruce Springsteen, many of which have very recognizable melody. The majority of our brains have memorized these melodies and know exactly what to expect when each comes around. When the corticofugal network registers that Springsteen chorus, our brains release just the right amount of dopamine.But when we hear something that hasn't already been mapped onto the brain, the corticofugal network goes a bit out of control, and our brains release too much dopamine as a response. When there is no map or pattern to attach to, music can register as unpleasant or bad.That's what happened one night in Paris in 1913. The piece that was shown at the Théatre des Champs-élysées for the first time that night was Igor Stravinsky's The Rite of Spring. As described in the daily newspaper Le Figaro, many members of the audience could not understand this new music. After the failure of that evening, however, the ballet continued running at the theater for many months. At the second, there was noise only during the latter part of the ballet; at the third, 'thunderous applause' and little protest. At a concert performance of Rite one year later, 'excitement and adoration' swept over the crowd, and admirers surrounded Stravinsky in the street afterward, in a riot of delight."We are built to avoid the uncertainty of newness and our brains actually fight against the unfamiliarity of life. The act of listening to new music is hard, but it's necessary. Our brains change as they recognize new patterns in the world, which is what makes brains useful.28. According to the passage, why is it hard to listen to new music?A. Because our brains tell us it's unpleasant.B. Because new music tend to be unappealing.C. Because new music can trigger emotional reactions.D. Because our brains release dopamine when listening to new music.29. Why do people like the chorus of Adele's song?A. Because it is familiar to us.B. Because it is easy to memorize.C. Because it has a specific sound map.D. Because it affects the network of nerves.30. What's the purpose of paragraph 6?A. To show that people are changeable.B. To introduce an event happening in 1913.C. To appeal to people to listen to new music.D. To prove that people tend to dislike new music.31. What may be talked about next?A. Ways of listening to new music.B. Other activities that benefit our brains.с. Benefits we can get from listening to new music.D. Reasons why we are built to avoid the uncertainty.DIn the oceans, concrete（混凝土）is the main construction material, accounting for more than 70% of coastal and marine construction such as ports, coastal defence structures and waterfronts. "Concrete is damaging in the ocean because, to put it in place, natural ecosystems are destroyed," says Alex Rogers, director of science at REV Ocean, a not-for-profit company studying ocean health and raising awareness of global impacts on the marine environment. "Concrete is a conventional material, and it is low cost. But really, in this day and age, we should be looking at alternative materials that have a lower impact on the environment."Those alternatives might already be here. Among them is a substance called ECOncrete, developed as an eco-friendly concrete. ECOncrete produces bio enhancing concrete products intended to protect coastlines and marine resources. This is achieved by using a mixture made almost entirely of by-products and recycled materials, and is thus nearly carbon neutral. This mixture is combined with up to 70% slag cement（a by product of the steel industry which has a low carbon footprint）and is beneficial for marine concrete thanks to its high chloride（氯化物）resistance. The overall result is a low-carbon concrete.Furthermore, unlike traditional concrete, which is highly alkaline（碱性的）, the specially designed concrete has a pH value near to that of sea water, which helps to promote the growth of marine species such as crabs,molluscs, clams, mussels and oysters. ECC ncrete's products are already in use across eight countries and six different seas, from seawalls in Hong Kong to the Port of Rotterdam.However. Beth Strain, a lecturer in marine biology and a project leader for Australia's National Centre for Coasts and Climate, says the evidence for eco-friendly concrete as a better surface for marine organisms is very mixed. "It can be location specific. We did an experiment in 15 harbours around the world with the same type of concrete surface complexity. "Largely, the results were positive, but in Penang, Malaysia, for example, using eco-friendly concrete that would theoretically retain moisture and be better for organisms to survive on made no difference. Strain thinks this is because of the area's typhoons, which make the area very wet already, so the features of the concrete aren't a big help."There is a degree of difference and each location will have its own environmental challenges," says Strain.Nevertheless, from multiple perspectives, it appears that nature-based solutions are definitely the way forward.32. What can we know about ECOncrete from paragraph 2 and 3?A. It is a substance that is highly alkaline.B. It is a substance made of eco-friendly materials.C. It is a company aiming to keep marine resources safe.D. It is a mixture which is combined with low-carbon concrete.33. What does Beth Strain's attitude towards eco-friendly concrete?A. Negative.B. Indifferent.C. Objective.D. Supportive.34. What caused the result in Penang according to Beth Strain?A. The climate of the area.B. The pH value of sea water.C. The researchers of the project.D. The diversity of marine organism.35. Which one may be a possible solutions in the future?A. Invent a new artificial material.B. Install monitors under the oceans.C. Pull down all the coastal constructions.D. Use eco-blocks in coastal constructions.【答案】湖北省十堰市2020-2021学年高二上学期期末调研考试英语试题第二部分阅读（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、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。

Havre de Grace
Years ago, Americans used decoys (假肢) to hunt ducks and other waterbirds. Those days are gone. But collecting artful decoys is now popular. Havre de Grace is a town in the America state of Maryland, one part of which is famous for its wildlife. Captain Jobes is one of the top decoy cravers in Havre de Grace. Hunters use decoys to get ducks and geese to come close enough to shoot. The wooden birds are so highly respected here that Havre de Grace calls itself the decoy capital of the world. It also has a museum with more than 1,000 decoys. Most were hand made.

湖北省武汉市常青联合体2023-2024学年高二上学期期中联考英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解Modern life is evolving fast. Think about how much things have changed even in the last twenty years. This rate of change isn’t slowing down. If anything, it’s increasing. Technology is augmenting (提高) human life in all kinds of ways.Electric CarsThe way that we approach motor vehicles has changed. Electric cars are the response to the pollution of gas vehicles. For a long time, electric vehicles were inaccessible. They were expensive and unattainable. Things have changed. Now electric automobiles are cheaper than ever. They are similarly priced as regular gas vehicles. Furthermore, car charging stations are more common. More are being installed on the streets and in parking lots. Soon electric cars will be as common as gas vehicles. It is changing our way of life by alleviating pollution.Virtual RealityVirtual reality (VR) is a part of technological advance that will continue to change the way we live for years to come. VR will change entertainment. With a headset, you don’t just watch a video. You are a part of it. You can experience things digitally. It provides immersion (沉浸) that is difficult to accomplish otherwise.Augmented RealityBeyond entertainment, augmented reality (AR) , when you use the organic environment with the technology, will facilitate medicine. Remote surgeries can be performed with AR on the 5G Internet. These technologies can also help terminal patients (whose illness cannot be cured and will lead to death) find a new state of mind. There is no shortage of the number of ways that AR will change the way we live.Artificial Intelligence Artificial intelligence (AI) uses machine learning to recognize patterns, create algorithms and analyze data. AI can synthesize (综合) all the information available to it. AI can excel to the optimal point in effectiveness productivity. It is used for many different purposes. There is no end to how Al will improve human life. It isn’t just used to improve social media sites to show consumers advertisements for products they might want to buy. It can perform all kinds of tasks out of thin air.1．According to the passage, what’s the advantage of electric cars?A．More eco-friendly B．Less expensive than othersC．Conveniently installed D．commonly visible2．Which of the following is true according to the passage?A．The price of electric cars is similar to all other vehicles.B．Achieving the effect of immersion is tough for VR.C．AR can provide dying people with a new mindset.D．Al has enhanced human life indefinitely.3．What does the underlined word “optimal” probably mean in the last paragraph?A．productive B．splendid C．effective D．diverseLocated on the bank of the Yellow River, Zhuangshang village in Yuncheng, Shanxi province, still has ancient temples and cave dwellings (窑洞) , some of which have a history of more than 800 years.But now, it has received a new label: a “zero-carbon” village, as recognized by the United Nations Development Programme.It starts with a new system. The old caves have been armed with a modern solar power system. The system, developed by Golden Cooperate Information and Automation Technology Co, can provide direct current (DC) power, to the homes of residents, rather than converting between DC and alternating current (AC) . It is the key to helping the village achieve carbon neutrality, China Daily reported on Aug 30.“Residents can directly use electricity that is produced from panels installed on their roofs without buying power from the grid (电力网) ,” Chen Wenbo, the company’s president, told China Daily. “The system has no effect on the stability of the power grid. It is safe and can improve energy efficiency.”Safe, reliable and green, the low-voltage DC power distribution technology now enables each local household to generate about 4, 000 kilowatt hours (千瓦时) of electricity per year.That solves more than 90 percent of the power consumption, according to Yuncheng Daily. “I can save at least 3, 000 yuan every year on charges for electricity and fuel,” resident Chen Jiuhong told China Daily. “Plus, without any fire wood or coal in the house, the environment has become cleaner and more comfortable.”“In my house, electrical appliances, such as rice cookers and electric heaters, havereplaced traditional gas stoves and coal-fired heating,” said Chen. According to preliminary calculations, each household will reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 7, 000 kilograms per year, Yuncheng Daily reported.In dealing with climate change, China aims to peak its carbon dioxide emissions before 2030 and realize carbon neutrality before 2060. According to Chen Wenbo, the solar power system will be widely spread throughout Zhuangshang village. He also hopes the village will be a model for the country’s energy revolution.4．What is essential to the village’s carbon neutrality?A．Switching between DC and AC．B．Buying power from the grid.C．Providing electricity directly from the panels.D．Not influencing the grid’s stable state.5．Which of the following may be the advantages of the new system?A．inexpensive and efficient B．appropriate and extraordinaryC．replaceable and crucial D．dependable and eco-friendly 6．According to the passage, how much electricity does each household probably consume annually?A．3600B．4000C．4400D．5000 7．Where is the passage likely to come from?A．a travel journal B．a book review C．a biography D．a news reportA cancer diagnosis no longer means what it used to. Just a few decades ago, the survival rate beyond five years was less than 50%. Now, nearly 70% of those who get cancer survive that long. Why? Because, chemotherapy (化疗) and radiation (放疗) , once the only heavy hitters of cancer treatment, are being paired with or replaced by a slate of new drugs and treatments.For example, the first medication for what was previously considered an “undruggable” lung cancer mutation was recently approved in the United States, Canada, Europe and the U. K.And a brand-new precision chemotherapy drug delivered directly to breast cancer tumor cells is giving hope to patients.An even bigger newsmaker has been the promise of a treatment called immunotherapy (免疫疗法) , as researchers around the world have discovered ways to harness the body’sown immune system to battle cancer cells.Also driving hope is a focus on prevention. Decades of research and public education have led to greater awareness of how lifestyle changes can reduce our risk of developing cancer. According to an article from the journal Pharmaceutical Research , 90% to 95% of cancers can be attributed to environment and lifestyle, rather than to genetic factors.Here are some of the advances scientists are making against cancer.PREVENTIONCervical cancer was once one of the most common women’s cancers. In recent decades, Pap test screening led to a decline. But a preventive tool in use for more than a decade— a vaccine against the human papilloma virus (HPV) , which is responsible for more than 95% of cervical cancer cases-has been a game changer. Here’s how:Since 2006, when the vaccine was introduced in North America, HPV infections have dropped more than 80% among teen girls and young women in the United States.A study published in 2021 found that in England, where the immunization program was introduced in 2008, cervical cancer has been almost completely eliminated in women born since 1995 (those who were vaccinated at ages 12 or 13) .An 11-year Swedish study of 1. 7 million women published in 2020 indicated that women vaccinated before age 17 were 90% less likely to get cervical cancer.In March 2022, Australia announced that it was on track to become the first country to eliminate the cancer.The World Health Organization’s goal is for 90% of girls to be vaccinated globally by 2030, eventually eliminating cervical cancer entirely.8．How does the author mainly develop paragraph 1?A．by listing figures B．by giving examplesC．by making comparisons D．by providing facts9．Which of the following contribute to higher survival rate of cancer patients?A．chemotherapy and radiation B．immunotherapy and preventionC．a well-known chemotherapy drug and prevention D．immunotherapy and radiation 10．Which of the following is probably true according to the passage?A．Most cancers may be result from genetic factors.B．England has nearly eliminated cervical cancer in women born since 1995.C．A study showed women vaccinated before age 17 were unlikely to get cervical cancer.D．Australia had become the first country to be free of cervical cancer.11．What will be discussed after the passage?A．More countries’ information about treating cancer.B．How to achieve the WHO’s goal.C．Some more types of vaccines.D．Other progresses in fighting against cancer.The creation of life provides scientists with some of the most difficult questions of modem science. Why and how did cells first appear? Was this likely to have happened under the conditions then, or was it due to chance? Could this happen in other places in the universe?A group of scientists at University College London are trying to answer these questions. They started by studying the ways in which the first cells on Earth could have been formed. Next they will use a powerful new telescope to look at places far away in the universe. The scientists hope that the results will improve our understanding of the development of life on Earth and help us to find life on other planets.Professor Nick Lane, who is in charge of the University College London team, suggested that 4 billion years ago warm water springs on the floor of the Earth’s occan might have helped create life. Each spring consists of tiny connected holes that water passes through. The team have created models of these springs in their lab. They have found that springs encourage chemical reactions between hydrogen in the liquids and the carbon dioxide in the sea water.These reactions and changes show us how life on Earth and other planets could begin. When sea water goes through tiny holes in the Earth’s surface, it gets very hot and causes a chemical reaction with rocks. When this very hot water goes back up and meets the cold sea water again, other chemical reactions occur. Lane explains, the conditions needed for life are rock. water and carbon dioxide.Because the ingredients for life are basic and should be found all over the universe, there is a good chance that we could soon find signs of life on other planets. Furthermore, a new space satellite is going to start helping with this search. The satellite Twinkle" will be the first space satellite searching other planets for life.A team from University College London and Surrey Satellite Technology will send thesatellite into space in the next few years. When an exoplanet passes in front of its star, some of the light has to pass through the gases around that planet. Studying the light can help scientists to find out about the chemistry, temperature and weather conditions of the planet. This will allow them to find planets which could support life.12．What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about?A．the scientists’ routine B．the researchers’ assumptionC．the research’s principle D．the research’s process13．What does the underlined word “springs” probably refer to in paragraph 3?A．seasons B．fountains C．jumps D．renews 14．Which of the following may directly allow scientists to find places supporting life in the universe?A．Using a powerful telescope B．Discovering all the exoplanetsC．Sending a satellite into space D．Researching gases around the planet 15．What may be the author’s attitude towards finding life in space?A．subjective B．vague C．negative D．optimistic二、七选五Why do children need to learn about the metaverse (元宇宙) now? Sci-fi novelist Haogrow up, and there would be more jobs like virtual reality device inventors, VR space designers, 3D modelers and avatar (虚拟化身) creators in the next 10 or 20 years.” Hao said.What exactly is needed to build a metaverse? 17 What’s more, how many people are needed?According to Li Zuxi, director of metaverse lab of Qingbo Intelligent Technology, the metaverse could refer to 3D virtual worlds. In these worlds, you could have your own personal virtual spaces or “rooms” to spend time with friends, study, work and much more.18 There are two ways to build your own metaverse in general.The easier way is to create a “room” with applications, mini programs or web pages that open “doors to virtual worlds” using metaverse platforms developed by different tech companies. It requires users to master the ability of spatial modeling (空间建模) as they need to construct their own preferred spaces. Then users could insert their own “spaces” intoInfinity Tower.19 “It is like building a house, and the process is very complex,” Li said. If you aim for this, you will need a team made up of architects, engineers, product managers, 3D designers and more.“But the most important thing is that you should have a sense of imagination,” Li added. “You need to imagine how to construct a virtual world that you’ve never seen in real life.20 ”A．How can children join in the metaverse?B．Or what can people do in the metaverse?C．What knowledge and skills are required to make it come to virtual life?D．The other is to build a brand new metaverse platform, like what Li and his teammates are doing.E．It could also be a VR world made using augmented reality technology.F．The metaverse might become the largest employment ecosystem to attract more talents.G．They could be more familiar with the metaverse.三、完形填空grandfather worked hard on the market’s management.

2023-2024学年湖北省武汉市部分重点中学高二上学期期中联考英语试题The ebike has become an essential item, and even the King has been spotted riding one. According to the market research company Mintel, sales have almost tripled over the past five years. While ebikes have become increasingly commonplace, they are still undeniably expensive. You can pick up a perfectly adequate push bike for £300, but most ebikes cost nearly £2,000. Now, Cycling Electric, designed to help consumers choose an ebike, offers the following recommendations.Best folding bikeCarbo Model XPrice: £2, 799 | Weight: 13.3kgRange: up to 34 milesThis is one of the most convenient bikes, from a little-known label. The lightweight Carbo X is the perfect example of convenience thanks to its carbon frame and belt drive, instead of a metal bike chain.

There, in The London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE), I take courses in social policy, philosophy and public policy, public management and behavioural economics.In the first few weeks we covered how to measure well-being, how to distribute health care resources, and the origins of the welfare state, to name only a few. I’ve had great su pport from my academic adviser, who I was told is really somebody and highly respected in the field of social policy.I learn loads of things each day and more importantly, what I learn feels relevant. Looking back, I can better understand the work I did in the government, and how the approaches I’ve learned work in some situations or fail in other situations. After one term, I can feel my viewpoint change from 50 feet to 50,000 feet.Probably the most difficult part of attending graduate school overseas isn’t the education itself but rather the act of “putting the previous life on hold”. I think this is especially true for students who have already started their professional life or are a couple of years senior.But there are plenty of benefits, and I feel that time at LSE passes faster than I realize. Already, I’ve made friends with students from dozens of other countries, which brings great advantages and fun. Perhaps what unites us is the great British tradition of meeting each other at the end of the week for entertainment at the cafe. In fact, I’m about to make my way there now.4. What do we know about the author?A．He majors in political science.B．He walks to campus every day.C．He has a tight study schedule.D．His adviser enjoys a good reputation.5. What does the underlined part in paragraph 3 mean?A．He stands higher and sees farther.B．He can handle various situations.C．His life attitude has varied with time.D．His mind has been greatly broadened.6. Which might be the hardest for overseas students?A．Dealing with the heavy study load.B．Adapting to the local educational system.C．Leaving one’s former life behind for now.D．Gaining a deep understanding of British traditions.7. What can be inferred about the author from the last paragraph?A．He isn’t aware he’ll graduate soon.B．He will attend a get-together at the cafe.C．He intends to make friends with more students.D．He has a strong preference for British traditions.This fall, students at the University of Massachusetts found a new menu at their dining commons: the “diet for a cooler planet” menu. This meant herb-roasted lamb, raised with a carbon-friendly approach. It included sweet potatoes that had be en picked from a local farm’s field post-harvest. The options were plant-heavy, locally grown, and involved little to no packaging.“We wanted to let students participate in climate action by making choices about their food,” says Kathy Wicks, sustainability director for UMass Dining. The university is not alone in this effort. Increasingly, American consumers and institutions are thinking about how their food choices factor into climate change. For many, small choices at the grocery store, dining hall, and restaurant can feel more accessible than big-ticket options like buying a fuel-efficient car or installing home solar panels.Small changes in dietary habits may make a big difference. Climate activists often target fossil fuels and transportation systems, but studies point to the food system as a significant contributor to global warming. According to Project Drawdown, a research organization that evaluates climate solutions, the way food is grown, transported, and consumed accounts for about a quarter of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions. Beef is a regular target. “If, on average, Americans cut a quarter pound of beef per week from their diet, it’s like taking 10 million cars off the road a year,” says Sujatha Bergen, director of health campaigns for the Natural Resources Defense Council. Food waste ranks third among climate solutions. While much waste occurs before consumers are involved-food left on the field or thrown away because it does not fit appearance standards, Americans also throw out a lot of food they have purchased: about $1, 600 worth a year per family of four.“People are beginning to understand that their food choices make a big impact on climate, says MeganLarmer, director of regional food at the Glynwood Center for Regional Food and Farming in New York. But, she cautions substantial change will need to come from the whole food system.8. Why did the University of Massachusetts adopt the new menu?A．To promote low carbon awareness.B．To reduce the cost of food packaging.C．To popularize the plant-heavy diet.D．To market the local farming products.9. What can be inferred from paragraph 2?A．Food choices matter much to climate change.B．Food is a decisive factor in global warming.C．Universities are working together in climate action.D．Fuel-efficient cars are not affordable for consumers.10. What does Sujatha Bergen say about beef?A．It is popular among millions of car drivers.B．It has a great influence on carbon reduction.C．It plays a significant role in American diet.D．It accounts for a quarter of the greenhouse gas emission.11. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text?A．Global Warming: A Disastrous ThreatB．Low Carbon Diet: A Craze, or More?C．Carbon Emission: A Killer, or Healer?D．Food System Reform: A Successful TrialNew smart wheelchairs are designed to allow users more freedom of movement. Some even allow them to raise or lower the seats or to go up and down stairs. Now, Scewo, a Swiss company, has designed their futuristic motorized wheelchair Scewo Bro that is a complete solution with multitasking innovation. This smart wheelchair is so advanced and multifunctional that it won the Design Prize in 2021 and has been recognized as a pioneer in the medical technology industry.With clearly defined lines and a reduction to the essentials, the design team developed a clear design language. That way, Scewo Bro is seen as a new generation of wheelchairs at first glance. Scewo Bro users can control the wheelchair either by a touch interface (界面) or a smartphone. They can switch from one to the other and can also choose from three different modes: park mode, drive mode, and track mode. This allows for any terrain (地形) and allows people with mobility disabilities to be independent.Built with safety in mind, the seat always balances itself so the user stays in a sitting position. This feature allows users to deal with different terrains without the risk of tipping over. Besides, the foot rests, the seat, and the arm rests are designed to be comfortable and adjustable.The smart wheelchair can go up to 35 kilometers on one charge and can go 10 kilometers per hour. If a break is needed, just put the chair into the relaxation position. The smart wheelchair comes with two secure storage areas for people on the go to store valuables. It can fit in the trunk of a car and can be charged in just five hours, whose awesomeness is more than you expected.Scewo Bro is available in Switzerland, Austria, and Germany. While the first batch (首批) has sold out, people can pre-order for delivery in the near future. This futuristic wheelchair will allow increased movement and a better quality of life for people with mobility issues.12. What do we know about the wheelchair from paragraph 1?A．It features more functions.B．It targets smartphone users.C．It is designed for household use.D．It is the first motorized wheelchair worldwide.13. What is mainly discussed about the wheelchair in paragraph 3?A．Its fashionable elements. B．Its working principle.C．Its customer experience. D．Its humanity design.14. How does the author introduce the wheelchair in paragraph 4?A．By listing reasons. B．By making comparisons.C．By giving exact figures. D．By offering examples.15. What can be inferred about Scewo Bro from the text?A．It needs further improvement.B．It has to be charged every five hours.C．It will not be purchased without reservations.D．It helps users move around more conveniently.For many of us, there’s nothing better than burying our head in a good book. Whether it’s a striking crime story or a biography of someone’s amazing life, it’s good to read a book to switch off from the distractions of everyday life. 16It may seem obvious that reading is beneficial to our health. It can be educational and broaden the mind. A good novel can make us happy or make us cry as we empathize with characters. 17 This power of reading books was first recognized a few years ago by the British charity Reading Agency,which published a list of books that doctors could offer to patients, dealing with topics from depression, dementia (痴呆) to chronic pain.Professor Philip Davis, the author of a book called Reading for Life, studied people in reading groups and found that it’s reading literature-only written works thought to have artistic value-that has the best effect. “When reading something for pleasure,” he said, “the brain begins to work from different parts. It gets excited. It gets pre-emotional. 18In our smartphone time, we tend to abandon a good book and play with our phones instead. But opening up a book could be a simple way to help maintain our mental health. 19 And it may allow you to see that awkward situation you’ve been anxious about for long from someone else’s view.20 Refer to the Reading Agency’s book list, or you could read book reviews, visit a library or bookshop or ask a friend. Once you’ve found the right one, you’ll be fascinated!“I am leaving home.” When Timmy, my 10-year-old son, eagerly announced that he couldn’t wait to ______, the feeling of guilt peaked as I tried to figure out the reason. “So, I can get a dog,” he______.But I stayed ______—we didn’t need a dog to be involved in our life-and he gave up. Until the day I overheard Timmy, with his brother, discussing his moving plan. Suddenly, the situation ______: gain a dog or ______ a child. I felt my resolution ______. “We can look into it,” I replied doubtfully, but the kind we wanted cost incredible $1,000! Yes, love had a price. I ______ for thought again.I shared my ______ with my friend whose love for dogs was quite sensible. He connected me to his pet keeper friend who got a pregnant dog and the baby dogs were due soon. A few days later, we took a surprise trip to the countryside when the little dogs were born. I would admit that all my previous ______ reappeared after watching a group of blind things, but it was too late. Among the screams of ______, we selected one of the little dogs as ours.We attempt to ______ our kids in a healthy way —I didn’t realize the added dimension of love and ______ that a dog would teach my kids. On a hot day, Timmy cut down his outing to check that Odie, the dog, had enough water. When Odie was sick, my elder son made fresh soup and ______ fed it to him.My children no longer talk about leaving home because there is the ______ issue of who will take care of the dog. They quietly learn how to give and receive love. If having a dog means linking my children even closer together, it will be a mother’s prayer ______.21.A．set out B．move out C．sum up D．pull out 22.A．claimed B．inquired C．insisted D．commanded 23.A．determined B．committed C．ashamed D．confused 24.A．ceased B．adjusted C．shifted D．worsened 25.A．lose B．intervene C．teach D．punish26.A．strengthening B．occurring C．disappearing D．weakening 27.A．promised B．paused C．refused D．appealed 28.A．preference B．conflict C．experience D．dilemma 29.A．doubt B．embarrassment C．passion D．reaction 30.A．terror B．relief C．delight D．shock31.A．bring up B．straighten up C．take up D．cheer up 32.A．ability B．interaction C．wisdom D．responsibility 33.A．instantly B．regularly C．securely D．patiently 34.A．academic B．general C．troublesome D．abnormal 35.A．adopted B．answered C．denied D．obeyed阅读下面短文，在空白处填人1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

AAs an old saying in China goes, “The days of the Sanjiu period are the coldest days.” “ Sanjiu period”, which is in Minor Cold (小寒), refers to the third nine-day period (the 19th to the 27th day)after the day of the Winter Solstice (冬至). There are many different customs related to Minor Cold in China. Eating hotpotDuring Minor Cold people should eat some hot food to benefit the body and defend against the cold weather. Winter is the best time to have hotpot and braised mutton with soy sauce. But it is important to notice that too much spicy food may cause health problems.Eating huangyacaiIn Tianjin, there is a custom to have huangyacai, a kind of Chinese cabbage, during Minor Cold. There are large amounts of vitamins A and B in huangyacai. As huangyacai is fresh and tender, it is fit for frying, roasting and braising.Eating glutinous rice (糯米饭)According to tradition, the Cantonese eat glutinous rice in the morning during Minor Cold. Cantonese people add some fried preserved pork, sausages and peanuts and mix them into the rice. Eating vegetable rice In ancient times, people in Nanjing took Minor Cold quite seriously, but as time went by, the celebration of Minor Cold gradually disappeared. However, the custom of eating vegetable rice is still followed today. The rice is steamed and is incredibly delicious. Among the ingredients (原料), aijiaohuang (a kind of green vegetable), sausages and salted duck are the specialties in Nanjing.1.What do we know about Minor Cold?A.It lasts twenty-seven days.B.The Sanjiu period is in this period.C.It refers to the Winter Solstice.D.It marks the first day of winter.2.How do the Cantonese eat glutinous rice?A.They fry and toast it.B.They eat it for dinner.C.They steam it with soy sauce.D.They mix it with many other things.3.This text may be taken from the column of a newspaper.A.travel B．culture C．fashion D．scienceBEvery week, two converted blue buses packed with children’s books carefully drive along the streets of Kabul, avoiding areas where deadly explosions are common. These travelling libraries stop off at schools in different parts of the city, delivering a wealth of reading material directly to youngsters who have limited access to books.“A lot of schools in our city don’t have access to something as basic as a library,” says Freshta Karim, a 27-year-old Oxford University graduate who was inspired to start Charmaghz, a non-profit organization, in her home city having grown up without many books herself. “We were trying to understand what we could do to promote critical thinking in our country.”While for many people a bus or train journey presents a rare opportunity to get stuck into a book, in somecities public transport is being used as means of getting books to communities that need them most. Afghanistan, for example, has one of the world’s lowest literacy rates, with only three in 10 adults able to read, according to UNESCO. The majority of public schools in Kabul donot have libraries and the city’s libraries do not offer many children’s books. For Karim, buses were a cost-effective, efficient way to get books to children.Charmarghz rents them from a state-owned bus company. “We go to nearby schools,” she says. “We try to stop inside communities rather than on the main streets where explosions often happen.” The organization is funded by donations from local business and communities, and also rents a third bus that acts as a mobile cinema. Over 600 children visit the buses each day to read, socialize and play games. “They are often veryexcited,” she says. “Our biggest challenge is that so many children want to come inside the bus, but we can’t have all of them in one day.”4.Why does Freshta Karim set up the organization?A.To raise money for the poor.B.To recycle abandoned buses.C.To build libraries for the local schools.D.To offer the children more reading opportunities.5.What is special about Charmarghz?A.It’s funded by UNESCO.B. It’s a state-owned organization.C. It buys buses from a company.D. It aims to inspire critical thinking.6.What is the most urgent problem for Charmarghz?A.Deadly explosions.B. Poor public transport system.C. Shortage of travelling libraries.D. Lack of support from the government.7.Which of the following best describes Freshta Karim?A.Caring and courageous.B. Humorous and ambitious.C. Demanding and enthusiastic.D. Honest and hardworking.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。
