Although it rained, everyone showed up on time. I was the only girl in the class. We all fit into two cars.Near Deary, Mr. Tier, our teacher, went into a store to ask about the direction, while townsmen looked at us with curiosity. On the store owner's advice, we drove out into the hills for a few miles. Then we left the cars. We were afraid they would get stuck in the mud.Eventually, we located the mine near the top of the mountain. There was a very small hole, running about two or three hundred feet into the mountainside. The passage（通道）was so narrow that we could touch both sides with our hands, and not tall enough to allow us to stand up straight. The first boy held the torch; we took hold of the backs of each other's coats, in a line, and followed him in, ducking our heads. After getting in, we were disappointed because it was not the mine our teacher was looking for.The rain was coming down hard as we started back to the cars to go home. Back at Deary, we went into a drugstore and stood around its big heating stove to dry out. The clerk was a middle-aged lady. Seeing our entirely wet hair and clothes, she handed each of us a cup of hot water immediately and asked if there was anything wrong with any of us.Hiking eight miles in the rain had not reduced our interest at all. We all felt we had a wonderful time, even if we didn't find the mine.4．Why did the class leave the cars halfway?A．Because their cars broke down in Deary.B．Because it was not easy to drive in the mud.C．Because townsmen were curious about their cars.D．Because the store owner gave them a wrong direction.5．What does the underlined word "ducking" in Paragraph 3 mean?A．Turning.B．Touching.C．Lowering.D．Hitting.6．Which of the following can best describe the clerk of the drugstore?A．Impatient.B．Careless.C．Hard-working.D．Warm-hearted.7．What can we know from the passage?A．The class failed to see the mica mine.B．The weather terribly influenced the trip.C．The teacher was not professional enough.D．The author was not liked by her classmates.阅读理解Is there a way to turn back the clock on your age? A new study says yes. Exercise can make you look younger. At least it can lower your fitness age — that is the measure of how well your body works.A study of athletes in the National Senior Games found that their fitness age was more than 20 years younger than their chronological age. The games took place in the Midwestern state of Minnesota. Tony Diamond took part in the games. Every morning he went to a local park and walked fast for an hour. Then, the retired navy captain ran for an hour. Two or three times a week, he went to a gym for muscle（肌肉）training. Mr. Diamond won three medals at the 2015 National Senior Games."My current age is 86 years old, and my fitness age is 44. I think I am in such good physical condition because I do a lot of exercise during my life. I have been exercising since I was a little boy," said Mr. Diamond."I'm 62 years old and my fitness results showed that I was 32 years," said Ms White.Ms. White and Mr. Diamond are some of the 5, 000 Senior Games participants who took part in the fitness age study.Pamela Peeke was an assistant professor of medicine at the University of Maryland. She worked on the study with Ulrik Wisloff at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology. Mr Wisloff developed a fitness calculator.An online calculator is available for anyone to use for free. Ms. Peeke says there are benefits from attending this test.The National Senior Games take place every two years. They are the competition for athletes older than 50. The games include a variety of sports.This year the average age of the people competing was 68. But their average fitness age was 43.8．What can make us look younger?A．Taking exercise.B．Becoming an athlete.C．Walking fast every day.D．Going to the park every day.9．What's the meaning of the underlined words "chronological age" in Paragraph 2?A．Mental age.B．Psychological age.C．Actual age.D．Full age.10．The example of Tony Diamond is used to ____.A．support the main idea of the passageB．prove more people like taking exerciseC．encourage more people to take exerciseD．show many people pay attention to beauty11．From the passage we may safely draw a conclusion that ____.A．the faster you walk, the healthier you areB．the older you are, the more exercise you needC．the more active you are, the younger you lookD．the more exercise you take, the longer you live阅读理解A recent study suggests that when it comes to the benefits of reading, just doing it matters more than the content. Researchers have found that reading novels helps the brain development in understanding others and imagining the world. They also have found that people who spend a few hours per week reading books live longer than those who don't read.But how to build a habit of reading? Like any habit, the trick is in figuring out what suits you. The hardest part about reading is actually picking up a book. You have to sit down, pick up a book and start reading. "I always have a book next to wherever I put my phone, "My friend Jimmy once told me. "So if I want to check my phone, I physically can see the book there. Nine times out of ten. I end up reading the book instead of using my phone for nothing."Another challenge is time, and in that case, audiobooks（有声书）can be a good choice. Audiobooks are great for filling the mind while you're on the way to work, washing dishes or working out at the gym.If you're still stuck on the way to developing a reading habit, the best way is to revisit your old favorite books to get your youthful reading pleasure. You should free yourself from the opinion that only important or educational books are worth reading. There's no shame in rereading the books that made you fall in love with reading in the first place. Restarting the practice of reading is a little like picking up painting. It takes some work to get into the best state, but once you begin, the results are beautiful and satisfying.12．What is the most difficult part in forming the reading habit?A．Getting reading skills.B．Finding a great book.C．Having limited time.D．Getting reading started.13．What is the advantage of audiobooks according to the text?A．They are time saving.B．They provide more pleasure.C．They aid brain development.D．They offer more book choices.14．Why is rereading old favorite books a good idea?A．It helps restart reading.B．It is of great convenienceC．It improves the taste for art.D．It can increase your patience.15．What can be the best title for the text?A．Method of killing free timeB．Advantages of using audiobooksC．Way to choose educational booksD．Tips on developing a reading habit二、阅读理解，第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5 分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

An announcement.BI’ve been in an 18-year love-hate relationship with a black walnut tree.It’s a unique tree. In late September or early October, falling fruits as hard as baseballs threaten the skulls (头骨) of you, your children, your neighbors and those that reside next door to them. Umbrellas in the yard are a must while dining in early August, and as for me, I wear my bike helmet while working in the garden.The black walnut also releases a chemical substance through its roots as a competitive strategy. It’s poisonous to several common plants. There have been many new plant varieties tha t I brought home with hopes that maybe the black walnut would accept them, but they failed toflourish.What does work are native plants that naturally grow in the area. Native plants are important to have around since they provide beneficial pollinators (传粉者) like birds, bees and butterflies with seeds and contribute to a healthy and biodiverse environment. Native plants for this area are generally easy to grow, so they experience less stress.Have I thought of getting rid of this giant pain in my tiny backyard? Yes, however, getting rid of this tree standing at 50 feet with an 87-inch trunk is next to impossible. It’s also protected under the law. Rightfully so. Trees are important to the urban forest and for all of those that inhabit it.Sometimes I think about my life without the black walnut. I can’t imagine a spring without the birds who arrive every year and loudly sing their songs before dawn. I’d miss falling asleep on lazy weekend afternoons as I look up into its leaves.Every spring, I wonder what the season holds: What are the chances of being knocked unconscious while barbecuing? Like any good relationship, I’ll never be pleased. I’m stuck with this tree, so I’ll listen to its needs and give it the space it requires. In return, my walnut offers a habitat for wildlife and a reminder.19．Why does the author wear a bike helmet while working in the garden?A. To protect the injured skull.B. To prevent herself from sunburn.C. To avoid being hit by the nuts.D. To reduce the chance of getting bitten by bees.20．What is the tree’s survival strategy?A. It attracts beneficial pollinators.B. It lets out poison to drive away pests.C. It produces a chemical fatal to some plants.D. It competes for nutrition with similar species.21．Which of the following DOESN’T account for the author’s love-hate relationship with the tree?A. The volume of its fruits may bring inconvenience.B. The tree outcompetes the native plants in the garden.C. The tree is home to numerous birds and other creatures.D. The presence of the tree takes up much space of the garden.22．The author most probably got a reminder from the tree that ________.A. it’s better to give than to takeB. trees and plants have their own ways to flourishC. even a good relationship is not always trouble-freeD. acceptance, instead of resistance, is the better way to beCIt was raining like nothing before when Ehdaa Bujeldain, an English teacher living with her family in the mountains of Derna in eastern Libya , heard a loud noise that sounded like an explosion (爆炸). Later they learned that a dam (大坝) in Derna had broken down under the pressure of running water. For the next four days, they had no power or internet, and it was only recently that they started to fully understand of the damage caused by the floods.“Half of the city has been destroyed. My mom’s relatives, my friends, my coworkers ——they are all gone. Now we, the survivors, are just ghost s in shells,” says Bujeldain, whose sadness can be easily told from her blank expression.Five days have passed since the terrible flooding in Derna, Libya’s Red Crescent organization estimated that 11,300 people have died, while the city’s mayor believes the number of deaths could be as high as 20,000.Derna is a coastal city with a seasonal river called the Wadi Derna. Despite the abnormally heavy rain, people living near the river had little warning before the floodwaters came rushing in on that terrible morning. United Nations aid chief Martin Griffiths described the scale of the flood as “appalling” (令人惊骇的) and blamed the flood partly on sudden climate change.Now international aid teams are arriving in Derna, but they face challenges due to damaged roads, lack of access to power, water, and fuel. Tarhoni, doctor of the rescue team, warns that the most difficult weeks lie ahead. “One disaster is done and there is another to come,” he says. “The thousands and thousands of people who lost everything these people now need comfort, they need company, t hey need psychological support.”23．What do we know about Bujeldain’s family from paragraph 1?A. The explosion they heard led to the destruction of the dam.B. Bujeldain saved her family from the floods with her bravery.C. Bujeldain immediately recognized the outbreak of the floods.D. For several days, they didn’t fully realize the seriousness of the floods.24．What does Bujeldain mean by saying they are “just ghosts in shells” in paragraph 2?A. They run out of energy and are very tired.B. They feel lucky as they are safe and sound.C. They are completely saddened and shocked.D. They are sorry for the loss of their homeland.25．According to the passage, which of the following does NOT contribute to the loss of lives?A. The absence of warning.B. The extraordinary rainfall.C. Unexpected climate change.D. The damage to environment.26．What might be the main focus of international aid efforts in Derna?A. Addressing mental problems.B. Providing immediate medical care.C. Conducting climate change research.D. Rebuilding roads and access to resources.DBy the end of the century, if not sooner, the world’s oceans will be bluer and greener thanks to a warming climate, according to a new study.At the heart of the phenomenon lie tiny microorganisms (微生物) in the ocean called phytoplankton. Because of the way light reflects off the organisms, these phytoplankton create colorful patterns at the ocean surface. Ocean color varies from green to blue, depending on the type and concentration of phytoplankton. Climate change will fuel the growth of phytoplankton in some areas, while reducing it in other spots, leading to changes in the ocean’s appearance.Phytoplankton live at the ocean surface, where they pull carbon dioxide into the ocean while giving off oxygen. When these organisms die, they bury carbon in the deep ocean, an important process that helps to regulate (调控) the global climate. But phytoplankton are vulnerable to the ocean’s warming trend. Warming changes key characteristics of the ocean and can affect phytoplankton growth, since they need not only sunlight and carbon dioxide to grow, but also nutrients.Stephanie Dutkiewicz, a scientist in MIT’s Center for Global Change Science, built a climate model that projects changes to the oceans throughout the century. In a world that warms up by 3C, it found that multiple changes to the color of the oceans would occur. The model projectsthat currently blue areas with little phytoplankton could become even bluer. But in some waters, such as those of the Arctic, a warming will make conditions more suitable for phytoplankton, and these areas will turn greener. “Not only are the quantities of phytoplankton in the ocean changing.” she said, “but the type of phytoplankton is changing.”And why does that matter? Phytoplankton are the base of the food web. If certain kinds begin to disappear from the ocean, Dutkiewicz said, “it will change the type of fish that will be able to live on.” Those kinds of changes could affect the food chain.Whatever color changes the ocean experiences in the coming future will probably be too gradual and unnoticeable, but they could mean significant changes. “It’ll be a while before we can statistically show that the changes are happe ning because of climate change,” Dutkiewicz said, “but the change in the color of the ocean will be one of the early warning signals that we really have changed our planet.”27．What are the first two paragraphs mainly about?A. The cause of the changes in ocean color.B. The various patterns at the ocean surface.C. The way light reflects off marine organisms.D. The efforts to fuel the growth of phytoplankton.28．What does the underlined word “vulnerable” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A. beneficialB. sensitiveC. significantD. unnoticeable 29．What can we learn from the passage?A. Dutkiewicz’s model aims to project phytoplankton changes.B. Phytoplankton have been used to control global climate.C. Phytoplankton play a declining role in the ecosystem.D. Oceans with more phytoplankton may appear greener.30．What is the main purpose of the passage?A. To explain the effects of climate change on oceans.B. To assess the consequences of ocean color changes.C. To introduce a new method to study phytoplankton.D. To analyze the organization of the ocean food chain.The Chubby Diaries creator is part of a community of larger-bodied travelers who are showing the world that they can do anything. Following them helps because you can be like, “Oh, this place works with larger bodies.” 31 .Second plane seats and belt extendersSouthwest is one of the few airlines to offer plus-size passengers a free second seat. To ensure the extra space, Southwest recommends booking both seats beforehand, then making a request to get your money back. 32 Southwest states: “The armrest is t he definitive gauge (测量仪) for a customer of size. If you’re unable to lower both armrests, you need a second seat.” Even if your frame fits between the lowered arms, you may still need a seat-belt extender.33 .Finding size nclusive tripsFor Natalie Robinson, ziplining (压缩) in Costa Rica determined her bucket list. “Literally for the last 10 years, that’s all I talked about,” said the co-owner of Fat Girls Travel. 34 . Her fortunes changed completely on an August trip to Costa Rica, when a friend found an outfitter without weight restrictions. The guide said Robinson could dash through the rainforest as long as she could reach the starting point high in the tree tops.35When researching a trip, ask about weight restrictions as well as the availability of equipment that can accommodate your size. If you have concerns, bring your own equipment. Plus-size travelers emphasize the importance of being self-sufficient. Finding special clothes and equipment can be challenging in unfamiliar destinations.A. Pack your own equipmentB. Find supportive travel groups and tripsC. Their extra efforts are paying off as they discover how to travel comfortably andconfidentlyD. Ziplining provides much convenience for those fat girlsE. Many airlines use the armrests to determine whether a passenger requires more spaceF. Air-lines provide this extra piece of equipment free, and you can request it at the time ofboardingG.

I told him that I had signed up for the Ocean State Marathon, just a week away, and that I really didn’t believe I could 43 . Rick locked eyes with me and said, “Trish, you’ve done enough training. You’ll finish!”I never had someone 44 me like that, let alone a real, live coach. He gave me the45 I needed. I set out to run my 46 marathon and completed it in 4:25:00. Little did I know that this would be the beginning of nearly a decade of marathon and distance running. Running a marathon isn’t for everybody. But it is for anybody, anybody who wants to47 the unreachable and to take that 48 into the rest of their life.

It discusses the invention of the printing press.In the mid-15th century, Johannes Gutenberg, a German goldsmith, made a revolutionary change to the world of publishing. He invented the printing press, which drastically altered the way books were produced and distributed. Before the printing press, books were copied by hand, a time-consuming and expensive process. The invention of the printing press allowed for the mass production of books, leading to an explosion in literacy and the spread of knowledge.Gutenberg’s printing press used movable type, which could be reused and rearranged to create different texts. This made the process of printing much faster and more efficient. The first book to be printed using this method was the Bible, which was completed in 1455. The widespread availability of the Bible and other religious texts led to a significant increase in religious literacy among the common people.The printing press also had a profound impact on the spread of science andtechnology. It allowed scientists to share their discoveries more quickly and widely, which accelerated the pace of innovation. The printing press was instrumental in the Renaissance, a period of great cultural and intellectual growth in Europe.1、What was the main impact of Johannes Gutenberg’s invention of the printing press?A、It increased the cost of book production.B、It made books more expensive for the general public.C、It significantly changed the way books were produced and distributed.D、It decreased the literacy rate among the common people.答案：C2、How did the printing press affect the production of books?A、It made books more difficult to produce.B、It required more manual labor to produce books.C、It allowed for the mass production of books.D、It made books more expensive to produce.答案：C3、Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a consequence of the printing press?A、An increase in religious literacy.B、The spread of science and technology.C、The decline of the Renaissance.D、A faster pace of innovation.答案：C4、What was the first book printed using Johannes Gutenberg’s printing press?A、The QuranB、The Declaration of IndependenceC、The Gutenberg BibleD、The Magna Carta答案：C第四题Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow.The Rise of Social MediaIn the last decade, social media has become an integral part of our daily lives.

He must have drowned.Now with only one bookshop in town,business was better for George.But sometimes he sat in his narrow,old kitchen and gazed out of the dirty window,thinking about his formal rival(竞争对手). Perhaps he missed him?George was very interested in old dictionaries.He’d recently found a collector in Australia who was selling a rare first edition.When the parcel arrived,the book was in perfect condition and George was delighted.But while he was having lunch,George glanced at the photo in the newspaper that the book had been wrapped in.He was astonished—the smiling face was older than he remembered but unmistakable!

ConditionsLaj amanu,Australia,is a dry little town,sitting right on the edge of the Tanami desert.Can you imagine how surprised people were when live fish rained down on them from a darkgray cloud.It happens that there are similar cases in England and Honduras.How do clouds make fishy?The simple answer is that they don’t.There is a particular weather phenomenon(现象)called a waterspout.A waterspout is just like a tornado（龙卷风）,only it forms above oceans,lakes,or rivers.Like a tornado,a waterspout moves in a circle at high speeds.When it moves above the water,it tends to carry the fish with it,as well as frogs orother small plants or animals.Scientists couldn’t work it out at first.To make matters stranger still,the fish in Honduras were very much alive when they rained down to the ground,but they were all blind.In England and Australia,it rained fish and snakes,and none were blind.It was difficult to puzzle out,but the blind fish gave them a place to start.Scientists knew that some fish that lived in deep,underground caves with no light sources often lost their eyesight.So when blind fish rained down on Honduras,scientists began toconnect some clues（线索，提示）.Clearly,these particular fish were pulled from an underground water sourceby force.It has rained fish on every continent,and each time,people have tried in various ways to explain this strange phenomenon.Historically,villagers thought the“fishes from the heavens”might be answers to prayers（祈祷）for food.Others suggested that floods overran river banks and oceans,leaving the fish on the city streets.No scientist had actually seen the rain as it occurred, only the fish left on the ground.But in1990,a National Geographic team happened to be in Honduras when the Rain of Fishes began.They recorded what was happening and made historyby finally proving that the fish really did fall from the sky.This huge breakthrough wasn’t just a spot of good luck.It changed thousands of yearsof myths（虚构的事；谬论）and legends into true stories and provided scientific explanations for how fish came to live in deep caves.It explained ancient cave paintings and cast（投射光线）new light on how species have spread over time.It turned out to be a lot more than just a little fishy weather.68.According to the passage,a waterspout________.A.can make animals blindB.is difficult to catch on filmC.can carry items（物品）with itD.is a dangerous sea creature69.The blind fish made the scientists start to think that________.A.raining fish was a warning of natural disastersB.animals changed to match their environmentsC.the weather system differed from place to placeD.the waterspout theory seemed more possible70.The first sentence in the last paragraph probably suggests that________.A.waterspouts came to be a center of scientific researchB.the scientists were fortunate to have made their discoveriesC.hard work went into determining the cause for the raining fishD.the scientists relied heavily on unusual events to drive their studies71.The author writes the passage to________.A.explain what caused the fishy weatherB.describe the magic phenomenonC.persuade people to protect the environmentD.encourage people to do scientific research(D)A study involving8,500teenagers from all social backgrounds found that most of them are ignorant（无知的）when it comes to money.The findings,the first in a series of reports from NatWesl that has started a five-year research project into teenagers and money,arc particularly worrying as this generation of young people is likely to be burdened with greater debts man any before.University tuition fees(学费)are currently capped at£3,000annually,but this will be reviewed next year and the Government is under enormous pressure to raise the ceiling.In the research,the teenagers were presented with terms(条款）of four different loans but 76per cent failed to identify the cheapest.The young people also predicted that they would be earning on average£31.000by the age of25,although the average salary for those aged22to29is just£17,815.The teenagers expected to be in debt when they finished university or training,although half said that they assumed the debts would be less than£10.000.Average debts for graduates are £12，363.Stephen Moir,head of community investment at the Royal Bank of Scotland Group which owns NatWest,said."The more exposed young people are to financial issues,and the younger they become aware of them,the more likely they arc to become responsible,forward-planning adults who manage their finances confidently and effectively."Ministers are deeply concerned about the financial pressures on teenagers and young people because of student loans and rising housing costs.They have just introduced new lessons in how to manage debts.Nikki Fairweathcr.aged15.from St Helens,said that she had benefited from lessons on personal finance,but admitted that she still had a lot to learn about money.72.Which of the following can be found from the five-year research project?A.Students understand personal finances differently.B.University tuition fees in England have been rising.C.Teenagers tend to overestimate their future earnings.D.The students'payback ability has become a major issue.73.The phrase"to raise the ceiling"in paragraph2probably means"______".A.to raise the student loansB.to improve the school facilitiesC.to increase the upper limit of the tuition（学费）D.to lift the school building roofs74.According to Stephen Moir,students_______.A.are too young to be exposed10financial issuesB.should learn to manage their finances wellC-should maintain a positive attitude when facing loansD.benefit a lot from lessons on personal finance75.What can we learn from the passage?A.Many British teenagers do not know money matters wellB.Teenagers in Britain are heavily burdened with debts.C.Financial planning is a required course at college.D.Young people should become responsible adults.Section C（8分）Directions:Read the following passage.Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box.Each sentence can be used only once.Note that there are two more sentences than you need.A.Its goal is to have good,clean,fair food for all people.B.Today,there are great concerns about the way people grow and produce food.C.It should arrive on our plates in the cleanest and most environmentally responsible way.D.All people should be able to purchase healthy food.E.This event wasn’t the only thing that started the Slow Food Movement.F.Today the Slow Food Movement has already expanded out of Italy.The Slow Food Movement started in Rome,Italy in1986.When a new McDonalds was opening near a beautiful historic place,some people stood outside the restaurant and shouted,“We do not want fast food.We want slow food!”(76)________One day Carlo Petrini went to a restaurant to eat a traditional meal.But thefood didn’t taste the same as he remembered.He learned that the peppers were shipped from abroad because the prices were low.This deeply concerned Carlo.Carlo wanted people to care about where their foods came from and how their foods madetheir culture special.So he started a group to encourage this idea.It soon became the Slow Food Movement.(77)________First,what is good food?Good food is fresh.The vegetables are eaten close to the placewhere they are grown.The fish hasn’t been sitting for days before it is eaten.Good food is seasonable.It should be grown at the best time of the year for that food.Good food satisfies the senses.It should look good,smell good and taste good.And finally,good food is cultural food. Each country has special foods that make it different.Second,food should be clean.(78)________Farmers use chemicals to kill insects andfeed plants.But the chemicals can also harm the natural environment around farms.Over time, they can cause health problems in people too.Clean food means food that does not harm our bodies or the environment.And third,food should be fair.Food should not cost too much money.(79)________Thepeople who grow and make food should be paid fairly for their work.They should work in safe, Healthy conditions.第二卷I.Translation.(3+4+4+5=16分)80.作为学生，我们不应该无视校纪校规。

陕西省西安市2023-2024学年高一上学期期中考试英语试题(含答案)
陕西省西安市2023-2024学年高一上学期期中考试英语试题姓名：__________班级：__________考号：__________题号一二三四五总分评分一、第一部分阅读，第一节阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
(共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)阅读理解A British sleep expert,professor Chris Idzikowski,did a research showing that there was some connection between the way people sleep and their personality.The fetal positionThe fetal position gets its name from the shape of a baby in the mother's stomach.It is the most common position in the world.People who sleep in the fetal position tend towards worry and anxiety.They are often shy and sensitive.In the fetal position,a sleeper's body is like a ball as he lies on one side with legs and arms bent.Adults usually sleep in this position.The starfish positionWhen sleeping like a starfish,you lie on your back with arms up near the pillow.Sleep scientist Idzikowski says starfish sleepers value friendship.People who sleep in this position are good listeners and quick to help others.If you have a starfish sleeper as a best friend,you're in luck.Starfish sleepers are great listeners and a source of comfort to others.The freefall positionIn the freefall position,sleepers have their hands on or around their pillows,with their heads turned to one side. Freefall sleepers are social but sensitive and can become upset by extreme situations.They like to be in control of everything around their life.It's all part of their long periods of indecision,but once they make a choice,they stick to it.

take actions.A Kansas fourth-grade teacher Rachel Harder recognized this,and she found an amazing way to help out both her students and their families.A few years ago,Rachel attended a trauma(精神创伤)conference.She learned that some police stations partnered with schools.They could let teachers know when their students need help,patience or extra care.A year after the conference,Rachel had a student with autism who frequently had difficult days.To support the student,Rachel told the student's mom to simply text her"Handle with Care"to let her know when the student was experiencing difficult time."When she would text me,I knew that her daughter needed some extra time and a quiet place to get help,not going to the playground for morning announcements(通告),so that the rest of her daughter's day went well,"Rachel said.The simple method was such a success that Rachel decided to send all of her students home with a note for their parents.It explained what the"Handle with Care"system was and how they could make use of it.In no time,the parents began to show their appreciation for Rachel's unbelievable act of kindness.But Rachel's kindness didn't end with her class.News

situations or when being the center of attention.Whether shyness is part of your children's personality or just something they feel when they are in front of a group of strangers,it is a common experience,according to a study.To look at shyness,researchers brought152children aged7-8into a lab and told them they would give a speech, which would be filmed and shown to other children.The study showed that about10%of the children showed a level of stress over time when giving the speech.About25%of the children were not reported to be shy in the eyes of their parents,but in fact showed a level of social stress from giving the speech.This finding provides the fact that shyness may be a part of these children's temperament(性情).For children at this age,shyness may be a quite common and normal experience when they face a speech task.For a smaller group of shy children,however,being the center of attention may be stressful at different times and environments.A shy temperament isn't always valued by society like an outgoing personality,but that doesn't mean there is something wrong.Everyone can feel shy at times depending on the environment.And those who are particularly shy often have happy social lives—they just aren't likely to be the liveliest people in a crowded room.Although shyness itself may not necessarily be a problem,parents should pay attention to signs of worry, particularly in their shy children.Importantly,however,we know that not all shy children are the same,and that many shy children grow up to be well-balanced adults.8．What can we learn from paragraph1?A．Shyness is not an unusual characteristic.B．Shyness is born with personality.C．Shyness will appear when one is in public.D．Shyness means not communicating with others.9．What is the finding of the study?A．Few kids like to give a speech to others.B．Some kids can get shy while giving speeches.C．Some kids appear less shy with their parents.D Some kids are stressed when being separated.10．What does the author advise parents to do when facing shy children?A．Bring them to crowded space.B．Care for them and give them confidence.C．Keep them away from shyness.D．Let them be alone.11．What can be the best title for the text?A．When are people shy?B．Ways of beating shynessC．Why is shyness a bad thing?D．The discoveries about shyness阅读理解Humans are not the animal world's only fashion followers.Tits(山雀)can be one of them,too.A study by Sonja Wild and Lucy Aplin shows that,given the chance,they make their nests(巢穴)with this season's must-have color.Dr.Wild and Dr.Aplin followed up on a study which noted that the blue tits preferred to put the same plants into their nests.This also suggested fashion-following—and it led Dr.Wild and Dr.Aplin to imagine that birds were studying the nests of others and copying them.The birds they followed carried instruments on them.That allowed researchers to follow a large number of tits by their arrival at food dispensers(自动取物装置)throughout the woods.One day in March2021,Dr.Wild and Dr.Aplin used five dispensers with wool rather than food.Each contained two colors—either orange and pink or blue and purple—but all were rigged to give only one of these.This remained so until at least one local nest was seen to include wool from a dispenser.At that moment,the other color was discovered, too.As a comparison,Dr.Wild and Dr.Aplin set up four wool dispensers in a separate area,each providing two colors from the beginning.Of68tits'nests,26included wool from a dispenser.Of these,18were built after both colors had been gotten from all dispensers.Even so,10of that18included only the color of wool first chosen by a nest makers.By contrast(相比之下),all8nests with wool have mixed colors,which showed a clear difference in the record.Tits,then,do seem to be"in fashion"when it comes to nest-building materials.Tits like those of the leaders of human fashions and it is worth more deep research.12．Why are the same plants put into nests by the tits?A．They want to beautify their nests.B．They find no other plants.C．They are used to doing this.D．They want to keep warm.13．What does the underlined word"rigged"in paragraph4mean?A．Refused.B．Warned.C．Forced.D．Arranged.14．What method is mainly used in the experiment?A．Testing colors.B．Observing activities.C．Comparing results.D．Checking numbers.15．What is the author's attitude to the research?A．Disappointed.B．Supportive C．Doubtful.D．Unclear.二、第一部分阅读，第二节任务型阅读(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
