French in the1500s.At that time,its name was Ile Saint-Jean.When the British took over in1758,they changed the name to its current one in honor of Prince Edward,the first son of Britain's King GeorgeⅢ.Today many communities find their places in Prince Edward Island,but Charlottetown is the only one that can call itself a metropolitan(大都市)area, despite the fact that it is a small one.About60,000people live in the city and surrounding area.The city's center area remains relatively unchanged from its19th century beginnings.Charlottetown's boardwalk runs alongside the water,past docks,boats,shops and restaurants.Historic homes line the streets.During summer months,costumed characters walk around the city and tell of it history.Cavendish beach welcomes beach lovers.The gulf streams makes the water warm and wonderful for swimming,and the island's1,760-kilometer coastline means a beach is never far away.Nine of PEI's63lighthouses will welcome visitors in the summer.Besides enjoying stunning views from the tops,visitors can browse in the small museums and learn about the island's history.The most popular time to visit PE I is July to August,when the average temperature reaches23℃during the day.From January to February,the averagedaytime high is only-3.3°C.Each winter,an average318.2centimeters of snow fall on the island,covering it with a white blanket.Considering the island's many visitors,it's no surprise that tourism is important there.Other key industries on the island are agriculture,fishing and information technology.With so much to offer,the island is naturally a desirable place to live as well.24.What does this island's current name refer to?A.A legendary story about its founderB.A member of the British royal family.C.A central province of Canada.D.A fine victory over the French.25.According to this article,how do other communities compare with Charlottetown?A.There are nearly double its size.B.They are slightly larger.C.They are approximately the same size.D.They are much smaller.26.Where can people walk in Charlottetown according to Paragraph2?A.Across the highway.B.Through a field.C.Beside a harbor.D.Around a factory.27.Which of the following conclusions can we draw from the text?A.This article mainly describes the island’s climate.B.This article implies that farming is an important industry on the island.C.All PEI’s lighthouses are open to visitors in summer.D.All PEI’s museums are too small to attract visitors.CPeople often ask which is the most difficult language to learn,and it is not easy to answer because there are too many factors to take into consideration.Firstly, in a first language the differences are unimportant as people learn their mother tongue naturally,so the question of how hard a language is to learn only makes more sense when learning a second language.A native speaker of Spanish,for example,will find Portuguese much easier to learn than a native speaker of Chinese,for example,because Portuguese is verysimilar to Spanish,while Chinese is very different,so first language can affect learning a second language.The greater the differences between the second language and our first,the harder it will be for most people to learn.Many people answer that Chinese is the hardest language to learn,possibly influenced by the thought of learning the Chinese writing system,and the pronunciation of Chinese does appear to be very difficult for many foreign learners.However,for Japanese speakers,who already use Chinese characters in their own language,learning writing will be less difficult than for speakers of languages using the Roman alphabet.Some people seem to learn languages easily,while others find it very difficult. Teachers and the circumstances in which the language is learned also play an important role,as well as each learner's motivation for learning.If people learn a language because they need to use it professionally,they often learn it faster than people studying a language that has no direct use in their day to day life.Obviously,British diplomats and other embassy staff have found that the second hardest language is Japanese,which will probably come as no surprise to many,but the language that they have found to be the most problematic is Hungarian,which uses a similar alphabet to English but has35cases(forms of a nouns according to whether it is subject,object,genitive,etc).This does not mean that Hungarian is the hardest language to learn for everyone,but it causes British diplomatic personnel,who are generally used to learning languages,the most difficulty. However,Tabassaran,a Caucasian language has48cases,so it might cause more difficulty if British diplomats had to learn it.Different cultures and individuals from those cultures will find different languages more difficult.Therefore,it is impossible to say that there is one language that is the most difficult language in the world.28.What can we infer from the first paragraph?A.The question of how hard a language is to learn is only applicable to first language acquisitionB.The question of how hard a language is to learn is only applicable to second language acquisitionC.The question of how hard a language is to learn is applicable to both first and second language acquisition.D.There are too many languages in the world so it’s difficult to say which one is the most difficult to learn.29.Which language will a native Portuguese speaker probably find easier to learn?A.Chinese,because Portuguese use Chinese characters in their own language.B.Japanese,because it is similar to their own language.C.Spanish,because it also uses Roman alphabet.D.Any one but Chinese,because its pronunciation is very difficult.30.What does the underlined word mean in Paragraph3？A.A particular situation or environment.B.The degree of education that somebody has obtainedC.Teachers’encouragement.D.Professional training.31.The author is most likely to agree____________A.Not Hungarian’s writing system but its grammatical complexity causes problems for native British speakers.B.Tabassaran is the hardest language to learn in the world for native European speakers.C.Many British diplomats learn Tabassaran.D.Learning a different writing system is easy.DIn1972,a social worker named Sanjit"Bunker"Roy founded Barefoot College in Tilonia, Rajasthan.Today the college trains women from villages for six months to build and maintain solar panels and other instruments.Barefoot College also offers education to the younger generation both during the day and at its solar bridge schools that meet by lamp light at night.The philosophy of the Barefoot College is largely inspired by the principles of Gandhi, starting with quality beyond social classes,sex or religion.As a matter of fact,women are favorably regarded as an underserved population that is necessary to bringing villages together. Another central principle of the college is self-reliance,teaching students to support and think forthemselves.After the colleges female students have completed their half a year of training,they return to their villages villages,where they wait for solar panel parts to arrive from the college.Once they have all the pieces they need,they construct the panels and begin collecting solar energy.For each village,the college also provides solar lamps.Villagers can,in addition,order parts for other solar-powered devices,such as water heaters and cooking stoves.Once assembled(组装）,they and the lamps are powered by the solar panels.The effect on the villages is huge.Before the solar panels and lamps arrived,villagers had only candles to light their homes.This prevented adults from doing serious work at night,and it made studying difficult for children as well.As for physicians,they have difficulty treating patients and performing operations at night because they had to rely on flashlights.Now there is power for not only the electrical appliances that the college provides but also devices like televisions,radios and computers.For the first time,the villagers can even connect to the world through the Internet.32.What does this article explain about an organization?A.How it accomplishes its goalsB.How its global efforts are fundedC.How its founder hires employeesD.How it works with the government33.According to this article,what does the organization believe in?A.Supporting the arts.B.Preserving history.C.Respecting animals.D.Improving society.34.Which idea is communicated by the organization to women?A.They should be more involved in politics.B.They don't have to depend on others.C.They aren't educating their daughters enough.D.They focus too much on their communities.35.In the past,what was hard to provide in villages after dark?A.Dry shelter.B.Clean water.C.Medical care.D.Food supplies.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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。

It’s the calmest headset I’ve ever worn and uses cameras to let you control everything with just your hands.Hisense 75”U 80X0GR 8K ULED Roku TV$1, 800 AT BEST BUY8K sounded like a luxury, but now that brands like Hisense, which focus on a more affordable version, have got some time with the tech.

Until that point, I had spent most of my life on the circus lot, playing with the other circus kids. The circus, by its nature, is one that has a loose structure. So the early years after my leaving the circus to sit in a classroom all day felt more like a prison.But years later, I found areas that interested me. I took the skills I had learned from being onstage and applied them to broadcasting. And so when Boston’s news station WBUR offered me a job out of college, I jumped at the chance. Along the way, I found I really enjoyed the work. I became WBUR’s news reporter. The flexibility and adaptability I’d learned in the circus as a child helped me do my job naturally and easily in a stressful situation — whether it was a destructive tornado outside Boston, or the Boston Marathon bombings of 2013.But then a serious infectious disease appeared. Suddenly, for the first time in my adult life, I went for a year without doing any shows. But it became clear to me that performing was what I truly wanted. For me, the circus symbolizes who I am. And stages have always been where I’ve felt the most free. Some people get nervous before they go onstage, but by assuming (扮演) the character of Jacques ze Whipper and drawing a stupid moustache on my face, all my social anxiety disappears.Circus performances go beyond age, socioeconomic status (地位), and even language. It’s the type of performance where you can go anywhere in the world to entertain anyone — help anyone forget their troubles for 5, 10, and even 30 minutes. And most importantly, forme, it means coming home.4．How did the author feel in the early years of school?A．Curious.B．Unfree.C．Loose.D．Impatient. 5．What do we know about the author’s job at WBUR?A．He did it for his father.B．He did it against his will.C．He risked his neck doing it.D．He took to it like a duck to water. 6．What does the circus probably mean to the author?A．A means of living.B．A chance to go anywhere.C．A part of his identity.D．A way to forget his troubles.7．Why does the author write the text?A．To express his love for circus performances.B．To stress the value of performing.C．To share his personal experiences in a circus.D．To discuss the problem of choosing a job.When a group of college students put their sorrows into action, they never imagined the project would fuel a nationwide movement to help deal with-hunger and control on food waste.But that’s exactly what the Farmlink Project has done since 2020, bringing together hundreds of young volunteers to rescue nearly 77 million pounds of excess food and deliver it to those in need. The organization’s efforts help farmers, the environment, and people struggling to feed their families all at once.“In the United States, 40 million Americans don’t have enough food to eat. They don’t know where their next meal is going to come from,” said Aidan Reilly, who co-founded Farmlink. “Meanwhile, in the United States, were throwing out over 100 billion pounds of food every year.”Back in 2020, Reilly and his childhood fiend James Kanoff were reading and watching news about food shortages, and they learned that area farms were forced to destroy excess produce that they couldn’t sell, especially with restaurants, schools and hotels closed. Reilly, Kanoff and a core group of friends worked together over Zoom, texted and e-mailed to contact farms coast to coast “We didn’t really set out to start a nonprofit,” Reilly said. “We just thought, there’re so many people suffering if we can figure out one way to help, thenthat’ll be great.”In California, they found a farmer who had 13, 000 eggs that could be donated, and Reilly offered to do the pickup and delivery himself. That was the first of many more deliveries. With “well come to you” as their catchphrase(标语), the group rented U-Haul trucks and attempted to do all the food pickup and deliveries themselves.“We had a lot of small problems in the beginning,” Reilly said. ”We broke axles (车轴), loaded in 40. 000 pounds of potatoes in a wrong way and had to try to drag them out by using another truck and a rope. But we made it work.“Farmlink has worked with more than 100 farms and 300 communities in the US, rescuing and moving enough food to distribute more than 64 million meals,” Reilly said. 8．What can we learn about Farmlink Project from the text?A．It was launched by some college students.B．It helps relieve American poverty.C．It cooperated with the farms worldwide.D．It is supported by the government 9．Why did some farms waste the produce left?A．The produce was of poor quality.B．Nobody came to purchase the produce.C．The farmers refused to sell it at a low price.D．Food shortages were not a problem globally.10．What difficulty did the students encounter in the beginning?A．They were lacking in experience.B．They overloaded the supply.C．Their truck aids didn’t work.D．The vehicles were inadequate. 11．What is the text mainly about?A．Americans faced a food shortage crisis.B．Farmers in poor areas worried about food waste.C．Volunteers delivered farm produce to those in need.D．Students took action to tackle hunger and food waste.It’s well-known that humor can benefit us both physically and mentally. The idea that laughter is the best medicine has been around since ancient times. In his 1905 book, Jokes and Their Relation to the Unconscious, Sigmund Freud argued that humor is the highest of the psyche’s defense mechanism (机制), capable of turning anxiety into pleasure.There are four humor styles. Affiliative humor refers to jokes about things that might becommonly considered funny, which is usually employed to improve relationships or make others laugh. If you’ve ever shared a funny picture with a coworker, you’ve used affiliative humor. Self-enhancing humor involves being able to laugh at yourself, often used as a way for you to deal with stress or difficulties and feel better as a result. Aggressive humor is laughing at the expense of others, which often involves sarcasm (讽刺), teasing, and criticism. Self-defeating humor is the art of putting yourself down to gain favor from your peers, which is possibly used by someone who’s targeted by bullies.Each style of humor actually carries a different influence, when it comes to mental health. Julie Aitken Schermer, a psychological researcher at The University of Western Ontario, says people using self-enhancing humor are less likely to show signs of loneliness and poor relationships with others. By contrast, both aggressive and self-defeating humor styles can hint at trouble. “We find that self-defeating humor is the most concerning style as it is also linked with loneliness and feelings of not mattering. Those with an aggressive humor style may not experience loneliness as much, however, since they rely on group dynamics (群体动力) in order to make fun of their peers,” says Schermer.Even if you tend to favor more negative humor styles, there’s no reason to lose heart. Schermer says people can develop a positive, self-enhancing humor style by concentrating on the lighter and more humorous aspects of life. As author Kurt V onnegut once wrote, “Laughter and tears are both responses to worries and anxieties. I prefer to laugh, since there is less cleaning up to do afterward.”12．Why is Sigmund Freud’s book mentioned in Paragraph 1?A．To show the importance of mental health.B．To stress the role of humor.C．To persuade people to stay positive.D．To introduce ancient jokes to us. 13．According to the text, which kind of humor may you use to relieve pressure?A．Affiliative humor.B．Self-enhancing humor.C．Aggressive humor.D．Self-defeating humor.14．What does the underlined phrase “hint at” probably mean in the third paragraph?A．Signal.B．Explain.C．Prevent.D．Solve. 15．Which of the following will Kurt V onnegut probably agree with?A．Humor is difficult to control.B．Crying is a good way of relief.C．Humor is a double-edged sword.D．Laughter is the best cure for stress.二、七选五For most people traveling abroad, their first choice is probably to make a beeline for (直奔) tourist sights. For me, I find lots of joy in grocery (食品杂货店) shopping on holiday.As a vegetarian (素食主义者) , finding restaurants that meet my needs is not always easy abroad. 16 The first thing I do, after dropping my bags off, is to go to a grocery store. That enables me to cook breakfast in the morning without walking around for hours trying to find “vegan breakfast” near me.The variety of foods attracts me every time I travel somewhere new. In Malta, I found the most delicious chocolate-filled cakes, a product I would struggle to find even in the UK.17 I was so delighted that I could enjoy such an unexpected treat. Another surprise was their selection of ice cream available even in the smallest grocery stores.18 Looking for smoked tofu and corn pancakes turns into quite a mission whenever I visit Cluj-Napoca in Romania. There is usually only one variety of smoked tofu, sold in a very small tub (食品盒) and only in the cafeteria section. 19 That is because they are never available at the smaller ones.Grocery shopping on holiday sounds unusual. But it means being involved in the day-to-day lives of a country’s citizens. I can pretend I am a local and put myself in their shoes. I can watch kids begging their parents for sweets, an international experience that needs no language, or watch couples pick up snacks and drinks for a party on a Friday night.20A．I ended up eating these every day for breakfast.B．The challenge of finding food is interesting, too.C．So I always make sure to book a place with a kitchen.D．Grocery shopping was a vital part of the holiday experience.E．It’s an act of understanding people as much as of buying food.F．Com pancakes always require a trip to the bigger grocery store.G．By wandering around in a new country, I start to see what they value.三、完形填空When you are a young active person with a clean bill of health, you never really expectto be hospitalized for two weeks. And you certainly never expect you will 21 it.I was put in the 22 and then into surgery after I had been in a motorcycle accident a week earlier. At that point, a few thoughts had 23 my mind about possibly losing my leg, but the staff were all so 24 to cure me of my leg.After almost a week at that hospital, I got 25 to a little hospital. The nurses there weren’t nearly so busy and they had more time to stay and 26 .One night when I couldn’t sleep, I got out of bed. Then a nurse saw me and she just gave me a hug and asked what was wrong.“I’m 27 ,” I said quietly. She invited me to sit at the desk with the other nurses there. One of them talked to me about university that wasn’t something I really wanted to 28 right then, but I stopped crying 29 and ended up going to bed with a smile. Nobody had said anything in particular that 30 me down, but those nurses treated me with such 31 and love, which made me forget for a while why I was so upset.It took lots of 32 for my leg to heal, but it did. I have quite a 33 on the skin of my leg and I love it. It 34 me of the goodness in people that made a huge 35 to this dumb kid who went looking for ways to scare herself. 21．A．escape B．like C．skip D．control 22．A．clinic B．house C．ward D．hospital 23．A．crossed B．bothered C．interrupted D．changed 24．A．enthusiastic B．sympathetic C．positive D．effective 25．A．chosen B．transferred C．attracted D．returned 26．A．sleep B．laugh C．read D．chat 27．A．scared B．embarrassed C．disappointed D．relieved 28．A．comment on B．focus on C．call on D．reflect on 29．A．temporarily B．suddenly C．slightly D．eventually 30．A．wore B．brought C．calmed D．turned 31．A．kindness B．generosity C．determination D．devotion 32．A．evaluating B．crying C．complaining D．waiting 33．A．signal B．mark C．wound D．hole 34．A．informs B．persuades C．reminds D．warns 35．A．effort B．commitment C．difference D．contribution四、用单词的适当形式完成短文阅读下面短文，根据短文内容填空。

福建省宁德市部分达标中学2023-2024学年高二上学期期中考试英语试题
福建省宁德市部分达标中学2023-2024学年高二上学期期中考试英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解Australia is a vast continent rich in extraordinarily beautiful views. Here are some of the most beautiful views in Australia.Mindil Beach, DarwinSome of the most impressive Australian sunsets can be witnessed from Mindil Beach as the sun dips below the Arafura Sea. Beautiful colors of pink, orange, blue and purple paint the sky each night. From April to October, you can enjoy the festive nightlife of the famous Mindil Beach Sunset Markets which celebrate the wonderful view each night.Sydney Harbor, SydneyIt’s a view known as one of the most popular shots of Australia. The famous Sydney Harbor can be best experienced from a bird’s eye view, one you can experience yourself if you have the nerve to climb 143 meters above sea level to the top of the Sydney Harbor Bridge. It will be an amazing view that you’ll remember for a lifetime.Cape Byron Lighthouse, Byron BayThe Cape Byron Lighthouse is the most easterly point in the entire country. Each year more than 500, 000 people visit the lighthouse which rises up above Byron Bay offering striking views of the bay, the beach and even an opportunity for whale watching when the season is right.Whitehaven Beach, WhitsundaysFor many, the typical Australian image is of a beautiful beach with soft sand and blue waters all around. The 7-kilometer area of sand known as Whitehaven Beach on Whitsunday Island is about as beautiful of a beach view as one can get anywhere in the country. The beach is known for its powder white sand. The sand also doesn’t keep heat meaning that walking barefoot on the beach is comfortable even at the hottest points of the day. Whitehaven can only be accessed by boat, making this a picture worthy of any postcard.1．What can you enjoy at Mindil Beach?A．Beautiful sunrises.B．The festive nightlife.C．A famous lighthouse.D．Colorful architecture.2．Which place can offer you a chance to see whales?A．Mindil Beach.B．The Sydney Harbor Bridge.C．Whitehaven Beach.D．The Cape Byron Lighthouse.3．What makes Whitehaven Beach unique?A．The sand.B．The climate.C．The transport.D．The seawater.Located at the foot of the Wudang Mountains in China’s Hubei Province is the home of 64-year-old Marc Verlant, which possesses a fascinating collection of Chinese artifacts. The artfully arranged decorations such as miniatures (微缩模型) of ancient Chinese towers, traditional wooden carvings and Chinese paintings clearly convey that the house owner is trying to creatively explore and develop a better understanding of Chinese culture.As a keen enthusiast of martial arts, Chinese architecture and history, this Frenchman is currently savoring his 19th year of living in a rural Chinese-style environment and finds it pleasant to live here. “Wudang is like my second home, and some locals say that I am almost a native of Wudang,” said Verlant.The Wudang Mountains, a UNESCO world cultural heritage site, are considered “the cradle of Tai Chi” and are home to numerous palaces and temples that show the wisdom and beauty of ancient China’s architecture. In 2004, to treat his body after an accident, Verlant moved here to learn Chinese martial arts, and gradually fell in love with martial arts as well as Wudang’s culture. For him, it all started when his French-language student, who was a local tour guide, aroused his interest in local culture. For years, he volunteered as a foreign-language interpreter and tour guide in the Wudang Mountains, sharing Wudang’s culture with tourists from across the world. During the past two decades, he has witnessed and experienced the rapid development of this mountainous region. “When I first arrived in Wudang, there was neither the high-speed railway nor the shuttle bus, and many foreigners didn’t know how to come here, ” he recalled.The Frenchman’s enthusiasm inspired those around him. “I learned a lot about Wudang from Marc, and his positive attitude toward life also influenced me to be more outgoing and energetic,”said his wife, who is a native of Shiyan City, where the Wudang Mountains are located.4．Why does the author mention the decorations of a house?A．To sing the praises of traditional Chinese artifacts.B．To highlight its owner’s insights into Chinese art.C．To show its owner’s passion for Chinese culture.D．To suggest the perfectly-matched decorating style.5．What does the underlined word “savoring” in paragraph 2 mean?A．Adjusting.B．Exploring.C．Rebuilding.D．Enjoying. 6．What can we learn about Verlant’s life after 2004?A．He worked as a tour guide while teaching.B．He contributed to the promotion of Wudang’s culture.C．He became energetic under the influence of martial arts.D．He offered great help to the development of the local economy.7．What is the text mainly about?A．A tourist attraction—Wudang.B．An encounter with martial arts.C．A journey of intercultural communication.D．A French enthusiast of Wudang’s culture.China has put in place a new policy that limits online video game playing for young people to three hours a week. The new rules restrict online gaming for those under the age of 18 to one hour on Friday evenings, weekends and public holidays. They were announced by General Administration of Press and Publication (GAPP), which is responsible for regulating video games. The new rules place the responsibility for carrying out the policy on the gaming industry. The limits don’t include punishments for individual gamers.China is the world’s largest video gaming market. Chinese media reported that about 63% of Chinese minors (未成年人) often play online games. About 13%of underage mobile game users are believed to play them for more than two hours a day on weekdays. The Chinese government has worried for years about young people becoming addicted to games. Treatment centers have been set up for people thought to have developed “gaming disorders”.The first government restrictions took effect in 2019. Those rules limited minors to one hour and a half of gaming time a day and three hours on weekends. The policy also limited the amount of money minors could spend on virtual items in gaming each month. The limit ranged from $28 to $57, depending on the age of the gamer.Current rules require minors to use their real names and national ID numbers when theyare signing in to play. Gaming companies created systems to identify minors. However, many young gamers found ways to avoid the requirement, such as signing in under the names of adult family members. Therefore, the GAPP said online gaming companies would have to prove they had effective identification systems in place. Measures will be taken to make sure they follow the new limits. The agency said it would also increase punishment for gaming companies not following the rules.Some young Chinese gamers criticized the new rules on social media. Some parents, however, told the news agency that they supported the new limits.8．What can be inferred from paragraph 1?A．Minors addicted to online games may get punished.B．Minors can only have access to online games on holidays.C．The new policy forbids minors from playing online games.D．Gaming industry plays a vital role in conducting the policy.9．What is the purpose of paragraph 2?A．To promote the spread of the new rules.B．To express the concern about online gaming.C．To offer the background of the new policy.D．To arouse public awareness of minors’ health.10．Why does the gaming industry need to strengthen the identification system?A．A few gaming companies tend to break the rules.B．Some minors may register with adults’ ID numbers.C．Adult family members may conduct illegal operations.D．The existing regulation has no effect on the minors’ addiction.11．How do some young Chinese gamers feel about the new policy?A．Disturbed.B．Relaxed.C．Frightened.D．Calmed.When we don’t regularly get enough sleep on weeknights, many of us hope to repay our sleep debt by sleeping late on weekends. Scientists have previously found that a lack of sleep increases the risk of being overweight. However, it was not clear whether sleeping more on the weekend could balance the books and prevent such an increase.A team of researchers from the University of Colorado Boulder set out to find how a weekend of recovery sleep may influence an individual’s health. The study focused on 36healthy young adults, who were divided into three groups. The first group got plenty of sleep each night for 9 nights, while the second group got just 5 hours of sleep each night for 9 nights. The third group of people slept 5 hours for 5 nights, slept as much as they wanted over the weekend, and then returned to 2 more days of limited sleep. All peoples’ eating patterns, weight gain, and changes in insulin(胰岛素) sensitivity are tracked throughout.Compared to people who slept normally, those who only slept 5 hours a night snacked more after dinner and gained an average of about 3 pounds during the study. Their bodies’ sensitivity to insulin decreased by 13% over the two-week period. People in the third group experienced some mild improvement during the weekend: they were less likely to snack at night during the recovery period. But those benefits died out when they returned to their weekday sleep-restricted schedule. They also gained an average of about 3 pounds during the study and experienced a 27% decrease in insulin sensitivity. Furthermore, during the weekend, total sleep duration was lower in women than in men, and energy intake decreased to baseline levels in women but not in men.The study suggests that weekend recovery sleep is not likely to be an effective measure regarding metabolic(新陈代谢) health. In the future, the research team aims to explore further whether or not catching up on sleep, including daytime napping, can completely change the damage of sleep loss, and if so, to what extent and under what conditions. 12．How did the researchers arrive at their conclusions.?A．By comparing experiment data.B．By referring to previous studies.C．By collecting people’s sleep records.D．By interviewing healthy young adults.13．What can we learn from the results of the study?A．Recovery sleep contributed to less weight gain.B．Less food was eaten after the recovery period.C．Sex differences were observed in recovery sleep.D．Insulin sensitivity got higher in most of the people.14．Which of the following is the focus of future studies?A．The effective measures against sleep loss.B．The sleep study among various age groups.C．The damage of sleep loss to metabolic health.D．The specific effects of recovery sleep strategies.15．What can be a suitable title for the text?A．Why is weekend catch-up sleep important?B．Sleep debt on weekends can be paid back.C．Why does sleep loss affect metabolic health?D．Weekend lie-ins don’t make up for sleep loss.二、七选五Great!

AThere is a bar in our town with the name “The White Horse”. It 's Mr. Webster's. Few people went to the bar last year, but thi ngs are quite different now.There was a picture of a white horse on the door of the bar. T hen a stranger came in one day, drank something, looked aro und the bar and then said to Mr. Webster "Few people come here. Take down the picture of the white horse and put on a pi cture of a black horse instead.""But the name of the bar is ‘The White Horse’.” Mr. Webster s aid."Yes, but do it." The man said. Then he went out of the bar.[] Mr. Webster went to an artist and said, "I want a picture of a b lack horse."The next day a picture of a black horse was on the door of the bar instead of that of the white horse. Soon after the door op ened, a man came in and said, "There is a mistake on the doo r of your bar, and the picture is different from the name." The man looked, sat down and drank something.Then another man came in and said the same, and then anot her and another. A lot of people came in and said "The pictur e on your door is wrong." And they all stopped and drank in M r. Webster's bar.1. The stranger told Mr. Webster to take down the picture of t he white horse because he knew ________.A. people would come in and tell the picture was different from the nameB. the picture of the white horse wasn't good for the barC. people would understand the picture different from the nam eD. a picture of a black horse showed good luck2. Mr. Webster agreed with the stranger ________.A. because he knew he was an artistB. though he didn't like the black horseC. though he wasn't ready to do it at firstD. because he want ed to change the picture3. More and more people came to the bar because ________.A. it had changed its nameB. they wanted to show t he mistakeC. the bar had a black horseD. the black horse was bet ter than the white one4. From the story we have learned that ________.A. if your business isn't good, you'd better change the name o r the pictureB. when you have difficulty, don't give upC. if you are in trouble, you should take others' ideasD. when a good name is given, it can cause successBWhy do people lie? A person lies to get himself out of a difficu lt or stressful situation or he lies to gain some benefits. So ho w should we go about recognizing those common indications(暗示) that someone is lying? Let's begin.Scratching(抓，挠) the neck，throat or mouth. When a person tells lies，he will put himself under pressure and this tends to heat up th e whole body. In order to release this heat，the liar will start to scratch his body to release the heat. Shaking of a leg or a foot. When telling a lie，a person controls his facial expression because he knows that the other person is looking at his face. However，when one is totally focused on controlling the upper body，the lower body will get out of control，which is an indication of lying.Eye direction. When a person is trying to answer a hard quest ion，usually the eyes will be looking to the left to recall things from his memory. When one cannot find the answer，the eyes will shift to look at the right which indicates that he is constructing something that is usually a lie.For more techniques to become a more effective communicator，please refer to other articles on this website.5.The writer wrote this passage to ________.A．tell us how to detect lies through body languageB．tell us the importance of detecting liesC．prove that lies can be easily detectedD．explain why people tell lies6．According to the writer，the liar will start to scratch his body because ________. A．he feels very nervous B．he is trying to calm down C．he wants to draw attention to himself D．he wants to rel ease heat7．Where is this passage probably taken from?A．A website B．A magazine. C．A newspaper D ．A letter.CMany pet owners see their pets as family members.

Although they don’t appear to be as destructive as other introduced species because they eat trees and plants that our native Australian animals don’t eat, in the last few years the Australian Camel population has been increasing at a fairly alarming rate and becoming a bit of a problem.We didn’t see them that often where we grew up unless we went further into Queensland or South Australia. When we did see them it was always a bit of a thrill for us kids because it was somewhat of a novelty.The suggestion of bringing camels to Australia was first made in 1837, 49 years after Europeans arrived in Australia. The importing of camels into Australia began in the mid 1800s to open up the desert areas of Central and Western Australia. They were handled and cared for by Muslim cameleers that came from countries like Egypt, Turkey and northern India. The cameleers were called Afghans or “Ghans” even though most of them were not Afghans. The name stuck to a part of the railroad track that links Port Augusta in South Australia to Darwin in the Northern Territory.In a famous 176-kilometre race, between Bourke and Wanaaring in New South Wales a camel was beaten by a horse but the horse died the next day while the camel was ridden back to the starting point.By the 1920s there were about 20, 000 domesticated camels in Australia, but with the arrival of motor and rail transport in the 1930s people no longer needed their camels and a lot of them were abandoned in the bush.Australian Camels are now exported live to Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and other countries where disease-free camels are considered a delicacy. Australian Camels are also exported to Arab Camel racing stables as breeding stock. The United States also importsthem to use in tourist attractions. There are over 40 farms providing rides in Australia now. 4．What problem with camels in Australia is mentioned?A．They carry disease.B．They hurt people sometimes.C．The number of them is growing rapidly.D．Some native animals are threatened by them.5．For what purpose were camels brought to Australia?A．To keep the balance of nature.B．To develop the desert areas.C．To satisfy kids’ curiosity.D．To create new jobs.6．What led to camels’ being deserted in Australia?A．The disappearance of bushes.B．The spread of a serious disease.C．The introduction of other animals.D．The availability of modern vehicles.7．What is the last paragraph mainly about?A．The history of Australian Camels.B．What Australian Camels are used for.C．The advantages of Australian Camels.D．Why Australian Camels are popular abroad.The English language has many expressions that describe a fast-moving event. Some expressions relate to body movements. We say something happens in the blink of an eye or in a heartbeat. Other expressions are related to the world of nature.For example, there is an expression related to velocity involving an animal. You might think the creature will be a big cat, such as a lion or maybe even a small but speedy animal, such as a hare (野兔). But it is none of them. The expression today involves sheep—baby lambs to be exact.Lambs are cute, but they are not really known for their lightning speed. Our expression is about a specific part of the animal—its tail. Lambs can shake their tails very fast. And when something happens quickly, we say it happens in “two shakes of a lamb’s tail”. Here isan example, “I’m going to the store I’ll be back in two shakes of a lamb’s tail!” This expression is a cuter and more descriptive way of saying “quickly”. Maybe instead of sending a text message with the letters BRB (be right back), we could use the image of a lamb shaking its tail.Being cute like a lamb may be fun, but it has its drawbacks. Cute things are often not taken seriously. And that is why Americans rarely use “two shakes of a lamb’s tail” in a serious situation. For example, if a person gets hit by a car, people would say something like “Help is on the way!” Generally speaking, an emergency is not a good time to use cute animal expressions.8．What does the underlined word “velocity” (paragraph 2) probably mean?A．language B．speed C．eating habits D．body parts 9．What is paragraph 3 mainly about?A．The development of the expression.B．The origin and usage of the expression.C．The reason of lambs’ fast movement.D．The characteristics of lambs’ behavior. 10．Which is the proper use of the expression?A．I’ll live in the big city in two shakes of a lamb’s tail!B．Firefighters rescued the boy in two shakes of a lamb’s tail!C．I’ll be back from the restaurant in two shakes of a lamb’s tail!D．Medical workers arrived on the scene in two shakes of a lamb’s tail!11．What is the purpose of the author writing this article?A．To stress the advantages of lambs.B．To describe the behavior of lambs.C．To show the features of spoken language.D．To introduce an expression concerning lambs.二、七选五How to Do Man-on-the-Street InterviewsThe man-on-the-street interview is an interview in which a reporter hits the streets with a cameraman to interview people on the spot. 12 But with these tips, your first man-on-the-street interview experience can be easy.When your boss or professor sends you out to do man-on-the-street interviews for a story,think about the topic and develop a list of about ten general questions relating to it. For example, if your topic is about environmental problems in America, you might ask, “Why do you think environmental protection is important in America?” 13Hit the streets with confidence. 14 Say, “Excuse me, I work for XYZ News, and I was wondering if you could share your opinion about this topic.” This is a quick way to get people to warm up to you.Move on to the next person if someone tells you she is not interested. Don’t get discouraged.15 Each interview that you get on the street shouldn’t be longer than ten minutes. As soon as you get the answer you need, move on to the next person. Make sure that as you go from interview to interview, you are getting a variety of answers. If everyone is giving you the same answer, you won’t be able to use it. A safe number of interviews to conduct is about six to ten. 16If your news station or school requires interviewees to sign release forms to appear on the air, don’t leave work without them.A．Limit your time.B．As you approach people, be polite.C．If you don’t own a camera, you can buy one.D．For new reporters, this can seem like a challenging task.E．To get good and useful results, ask them the same question.F．That number of interviews should give you all the answers you need.G．With a question like this, you will get more than a “Yes” or “No” reply.三、完形填空I was doing a year of voluntary service abroad for people with learning disabilities.
