A large dinner party is being given in an up-country station by a colonial official and his wife. The guests are army and government officers and their wives, and an American naturalist.At one side of the long table, a spirited discussion springs up between a young girl and an army officer. The girl insists women have long outgrown the jumping-on-a-chair-at-the-sight-of-a-mouse era, and that they are not as anxious as their grandmothers were. The officer says they are, arguing women haven't the actual nerve control of men."A woman's reaction in any crisis," the officer says, "is to scream. And while a man may feel like it, he has that ounce more of control than a woman has."The American scientist does not join in the argument but sits and watches the faces of the other guests. As he stares, he sees a slight, though strange look of anxiety come over the face of the hostess. With a small gesture she summons the servant standing behind her chair. She whispers to him. The servant's eyes widen. He turns quickly and leaves the room. No one else sees this, nor the servant when he puts a bowl of milk on the balcony outside the glass doors.The American understands. In India, milk in a bowl means only one thing. It is bait for a snake. He realizes there is a cobra in the room. The American's eyes move across the room but he sees nothing. He realizes the snake can only be in one place—under the table.His first reaction is to jump back and warn the others. But he knows any sudden movement will frighten the cobra and it will strike. He speaks quickly, the quality of his voice so arresting that it quietens everyone. "I want to know just what control everyone at this table has. I will count three hundred—that's five minutes —and not one of you is to move a single muscle. Now! Ready!"The 20 people sit like stone images while he counts. He is saying "…two hundred and eighty..." when, out of the corner of his eye, he sees the snake emerge and make for the bowl of milk. Four or five screams ring out as he jumps to slam shut the balcony doors."There is your proof!" the host says. "A man has just shown us real control.""Just a minute," the American says, turning to his hostess, "How did you know that cobra was in the room?"A faint smile comes across the woman's face as she replies. "Because it was lying across my foot."（1）What is the argument between the army officer and the young girl about?A.Whether women are afraid of mice.B.Whether men are calmer than women.C.Whether men are cleverer than women.D.Whether women would make suitable soldiers.（2）Why is the servant asked to put out some milk?A.To play a trick.B.To serve the guests.C.To attract the snake.D.To feed the hostess's pet.（3）Why does the scientist suggest the guests play a game?A.He doesn't want anyone to panic.B.He intends to test the officer's theory.C.He sees there was a snake in the room.D.He wants to entertain the other guests.（4）What does the author imply through the hostess's final statement?A.The army officer's opinion is wrong.B.The hostess understood the American's intention.C.The American was surprised by the snake's presence.D.The hostess has had previous experience dealing with snakes.6.Have you ever heard of a pawpaw（木瓜）? If not, do not feel bad. Most Americans do not know of the fruit, though it is native to the United States.Once, however, it was one of the most popular fruits in North America. Happily, those who love the pawpaw are trying to return it to its former position in American foods. A pawpaw is a tropical-like fruit that grows on trees found all over the eastern United States. It's also the largest fruit native to the US.It is similar to a typical mango in size. It has a dull green-colored skin, and a soft, almost-creamy orange inside. The pawpaw was not sold commercially in the past. The fruit requires a very special environment-low, wet areas that sometimes flood. It has a very short harvest season, from two to three weeks in September and October. In addition, the fruit is good to eat for only two to three days after harvesting. This makes it hard to sell anywhere distant from the pawpaw tree it came from.Planters are again growing pawpaw trees and harvesting the fruit. In several states farmers haveorganized "pawpaw festivals" to reintroduce people to the food. At such a festival in Maryland recently, farmers displayed different products made with pawpaws. There were pawpaw jams, pies, gelato（冰淇淋）and beer. Michael Judd helped organize the Maryland pawpaw festival.Farmers are trying to grow kinds of pawpaws that will be easier to ship and sell commercially. Donna and Jim Davis are pawpaw farmers in Westminster, Maryland. They said that they purchased their pawpaw trees in the 1990s and now sell the fruit at farmer's markets and online.（1）What can we know about the pawpaw according to the text?A.Its harvest season lasts long.B.It grows in Europe originally.C.It has already returned to its former position.D.It used to be well-received in North America.（2）What limited the pawpaw to being sold commercially in the past?A.It was unknown to the world.B.It's hard to grow, store and transport.C.It has similar taste with typical mangoes.D.The planters were unwilling to grow them for low profits.（3）Why do farmers hold "pawpaw festivals"?A.To show lots of delicious food to people.B.To make the pawpaw known to people again.C.To introduce people to a completely new fruit.D.To tell people the forgotten history about the fruit.（5）What is the best title for the text?A.The History of Pawpaws.B.How to Grow Pawpaws.C.The Comeback of Pawpaws.D.The Origin of Pawpaw Festival.四、七选五（本题共计 1 小题，共计5分）7. （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。

Researchers varied the price tags placed on the sugary drinks over the eight-week study: one tag that simply said the price for the 12-ounce drink($1.52)and one that had the price and the message "Includes SF Sugary Drink Tax". All non-sugary drinks, which weren't subject to the tax, simply had the price of the drink($1.40).The researchers compared sales of the drinks during the study period to the two weeks before the study began when the sugary drink tax was in effect but there were no price tags on any drinks. Results showed sales of sugary drinks weren't lower during the two weeks, compared to sales before the tax, indicating the tax itself didn't reduce purchases of sugary drinks.The researchers then looked at the effects of the two different price tags. Results showed the share of sugary drinks purchased when the tags simply showed the price wasn't significantly different from the two-week period before the study, but did decline slightly when the tags mentioned the price included the added tax.In a separate online study, the researchers asked participants to estimate what the tax wouldbe on a can of their favorite drink that cost $1.52.The average estimate was 40 cents-much higher than the 12 cents actually demanded in San Francisco. When told the tax was only 12 cents, they reported they'd still purchase the drink.The findings suggest price tags should mention the tax but not the amount, for consumers tend to overestimate how much the tax is. "If cities want these policies to be effective, they need to regulate how sugary drinks are labeled at stores and they currently don't do that," said Donnelly, lead author of the study.4．What does the underlined word "flaw" mean in the first paragraph?A.Weakness.B.Solution.C.Imbalance.D.Evidence.5．What kind of price tags may discourage customers from buying sugary drinks?A.Price tags bearing sugar content.B.Price tags with the exact tax on them.C.Price tags saying added tax included.D.Price tags just showing the total price. 6．Which of the following may be Donnelly's suggestion?A.Stores label sugary drinks at will.B.Cancel sugary drink taxes at once.C.Publicize the impacts of sugary drinks.D.Cities urge stores to use proper price tags. 7．What might be the best title for the text?A.A New Way to Prevent FatnessB.Eating Habits and Food ConsumptionC.Sugary Drink Taxes Aren't Working WellD.Non-sugary Drinkers Benefit from New PoliciesHumans are emotional beings, showing feelings in our behavior and facial expressions. But whether these mean the same thing in different cultures has been hotly debated. Now a new study has found that in different social contexts, such as weddings, funerals and sports, people indeed show universal facial expressions.For the new study, Alan Cowen’s team used a machine learning model, Deep Neural Network (DNN), to systematically analyze facial expressions in thousands of different contexts. These contexts come from more than six million videos uploaded to YouTube by people in 144 countries.Facial expressions were rated by English speakers in India by selecting applicable emotions from a list of 31 labels, resulting in a total of 16 distinct facial expressions. Meanwhile, contexts were classified in a separate experiment. The results showed that people from different cultures share about 70% of the facial expressions used in response to different social and emotional situations.“This supports Darwin’s theory that expressing emotions in our faces is universal among humans,” the study co-lead author Dacher Keltner said. “The physical display of our emotions may define who we are as a species, enhancing our communication and cooperation skills an d ensuring our survival.”However, Lisa Barrett, from the Northeastern University College of Science notes that the English speakers in India were given the emotional word ratings rather than labeling the expressions themselves. They used emotion labels su ch as “anger” “fear” and “sadness” instead of descriptive terms, thereby inferring the emotions behind the expressions.She further comments that the raters (评定者) saw the faces in contexts which can’t necessarily be separated from the emotions themselves, and that the key point is that the raters are from just one country. “The ultimate value of Cowen and his colleagues’ study might lie not in the answers it provides,” she concludes, “but in the opportunity for further discovery that it opens up.”8．What can we learn from the text?A. The study is opposite to Darwin’s theory.B. People in different cultures show similar facial expressions.C. The team conducted the study by downloading facial expressions.D. Facial expressions and contexts were classified in the same experiment.9．How did Alan Cowen’s team conduct the study?A. By using a learning machine.B. By uploading videos to YouTube.C. By analyzing facial expressions.D. By using emotion labels.10．What can we infer from Dacher Keltner’s words?A. Social success is dependent on facial expressions.B. Facial expressions have constantly changed over time.C. Social skills reflect the ability of one’s expression management.D. Facial expressions play a vital role in humans’ development.11．What is Lisa Barrett’s attitude towards the study?A. Objective.B. Ambiguous.C. Critical.D. Contradictory.You may never know why the email will arrive and reasons offered for your rejection might be the real ones—or not. Bosses have always spied on their employees, then judged them. Now the rise of the online self means the employer’s eye can travel still farther.Even before the pandemic, research found that 28% of large companies had turned down applicants after carrying out such checks. And it is becoming more popular: Reed Screening,a large agency, was asked to run over a third more social-media checks in December this year than a year earlier. This month the government gave the practice approval when the Department for Education said schools and colleges “shou ld consider carrying out an online search as part of their due diligence (尽职调查)”.The way screening works is simple: Any “problematic” behaviours will be marked with a red flag. There are laws governing such online screening. David Erdos, head of the Centre for Intellectual Property and Information Law, says that companies are supposed to warn candidates before screening their social media and tell them that they have the right to hold back permission. Some companies follow these rules, but others may not. As for the right to refuse, it is hardly practicable. “Who on earth is… going to be that person who says, ‘Hang on a minute. I’m not happy about that?’” asks Mr Erdos. “That itself is likely to be a red flag.”All agree that the spread of online screening is alarming, as it is so unforgiving. People may be unable ever to be free of their online past, says Mr Erdos. As indeed some footballers, recently punished for comments made almost a decade ago when they were but teenagers, have found to their cost.Those within the industry think laws should be tightened, with punishment for illegal act. In the meantime, being very careful is advisable. In talks to university students, Mr Erdos warns them what companies will do to their social media when they apply for j obs. “They are universally terrified,” he says. And rightly.12．What can we know about online screening from Paragraph 2?A. It is turned down by large companies.B. It boosts the development of education.C. It is becoming increasingly acceptable.D. It highlights the wisdom of employers.13．What do applicants tend to do with online screening?A. They reject the red flags.B. They have to submit to it.C. They will charge the company.D. They postpone carrying it out.14．What is Mr Erdos’ opinion on postin g comments online？A. Companies are tolerant of it.B. Its influence is hard to erase.C. It should be under strict laws.D. University students are free to do it. 15．What could be a suitable title for the text?A. Big Employer Is Watching YouB. Fix Your Eyes on Online ScreeningC. Social-media Checks Are Around the CornerD. Checks Online Are to Blame for Unemployment二、七选五16．Technology has changed our lives and reshapes the way we live. Some of us love it and some of us are frustrated (懊恼的) with it. This is clear as most of us are guilty of being addicted to the Internet and social media.①_______Technology has created a whole new world and brought endless opportunities.The invention of airplanes, ships and spacecraft always allows people to visit other countries and even other planets. As long as we follow the laws of immigration, we can go to any country we like.②_______In addition, technology is also used by a large number of teachers to improve their teaching. It can make the lessons more interactive and interesting for students. E-learning is possible with the use of the Internet connection and computers. People wishing to study for a degree can do so at their comfortable homes.③_______Teachers can post notes and videos on the Internet and students can study and learn whenever they are ready.④_______You don’t have to walk around with a large sum of cash any more because you can make purchases and payments electronically. Online banking is secure and convenient for online shopping. You don’t hav e to worry that your cash might be stolen by someone.However, we have to say that technology can be a double-edged sword.

河北省沧州市泊头市第一中学2024-2025学年高三上学期9月月考英语试题一、阅读理解Summer 2024 Best Practices in University Teaching WorkshopDescriptionThe Center for Teaching Excellence and Innovation is pleased to offer Best Practices in University Teaching, a multi-day workshop for Johns Hopkins faculty (教职员工).This is a great opportunity for new faculty who are interested in learning about evidence-based teaching practices but is open to all Johns Hopkins faculty and lecturers from any discipline. External university colleagues are also welcome to attend.A Certificate of Completion can be earned by all participants who complete the workshop deliverable, a lesson plan for a new or existing course. While earning the Certificate of Completion is not required for participation in the workshop, it is encouraged to get the most of out of your time with us.ScheduleTuition Remission InformationFull-time, benefits-qualified Johns Hopkins employees may submit for 100% tuition remission (减免), and this does not check off from the annual $5,250 allotment (配额) for credit courses. You are qualified for tuition remission once you have completed 120 days of full-time employment as long as you are Johns Hopkins faculty or staff and continue in a full-time position. You will need to fill out the form in order to receive the tuition benefits.Payment or the tuition remission form must be received to secure your seat in theworkshop.1．What will participants learn at the workshop?A．How to discipline learners.B．How to develop interest in teaching.C．How to base lectures on evidence.D．How to be excellent at practices.2．How can a participant get a Certificate of Completion?A．By having credit courses.B．By filling out a form in advance.C．By working full-time for 120 days.D．By making a teaching plan for a course. 3．What will be taught at 9 a. m. on Friday?A．Course Design.B．Assessment.C．Classroom Communication.D．Grading and Evaluation Strategies.Not so long ago, I was admiring online a pair of floral bib overalls (印花工装裤) that were way out of my price range and felt it, frankly, quite expensive for a person who buys most of her clothing from second-hand stores.They were made by a company I admire because it uses actual, real-life women in its ads. I’ve admired this particular pair of overalls for a long time, knowing I would never be willing to spend the money on them.One afternoon, I posted the following on the Internet, along with a photo just for fun: “I mean I already have dreams of becoming a Fargo Trading Co. model because those ladies rock, but if they would pay me with these overalls, I would be set for life.”It was a fun post, not meant to accomplish anything except acknowledging that I like gardening overalls. I figured that would be the end of the story, until I was checking my email that evening and saw one that gave me pause: “Bill has sent you an e-gift card for (insert dollar amount of overalls here) from Fargo Trading Co.”I called my dad, whose name is Bill and thanked him for the gift. But it turned out that this Bill was not my dad, but a complete stranger. I reread the email, and figured out the mystery gifter had chosen to use a cryptonym. I sent the company an email of thanks and told them that their generosity was an encouragement to my heart.I like to tell the story because it reminds me that generosity doesn’t come with a price tag. It doesn’t cost money to speak into someone’s life; buying a cup of coffee can be relativelyinexpensive; passing along plants from your garden is basically free. It is your reminder to be like “Bill”. Go and do that thing today. You never know who might need it.4．What do we know about the author?A．She collects overalls.B．She is short of money.C．She wants to be a model.D．She owns a second-hand store.5．What does the author want to do through her post?A．Express her great ambition.B．Make a joke on the overalls.C．Show her love for the overalls.D．Find someone to give her a gift.6．What is the probable meaning of the underlined word “cryptonym” in Paragraph 5?A．False name.B．Paper card.C．New overall.D．Real address. 7．What idea does the author want to convey through the story?A．Generosity can start small.B．Honesty is the best policy.C．Penny wise, pound foolish.D．One good turn deserves another.Lacking money makes people focus on the present — but lacking water makes them plan for the future. The human brain is sensitive to scarcity (稀缺). Take money, for example: when people play a game that makes some players immediately wealthier or poorer, those who lose money start making decisions that result in their being better off now but worse off later. One potential explanation for this tendency is that the sense of not having enough of what we need makes it harder for us to focus and plan.In one experiment, college students read articles about a severe water shortage or plenty of water due to increased rainfall. Those exposed to scarcity thoughts showed a heightened focus on the future, agreeing more with saving resources and planning ahead. Contrarily, those who read about a water surplus prioritized living in the present and were less concerned about saving.Moreover, we compared attitudes in two Iranian cities, Shiraz and Yazd, which differ greatly in water availability. Residents of water-scarce Yazd valued “long-term purpose” more than those in water-abundant Shiraz.Expanding our investigation globally, we found individuals from historically water-scarce nations tended to place a greater emphasis on saving and planning for the future. For example, in Europe, people in water-rich Iceland thought less about the future, whereas those in dry Spainthought more about the future.Moreover, countries’ history of water scarcity seemed related to cultural differences in a way that more obvious factors didn’t. For example, income per capita (人均) did not explain differences across cultures. And although corruption (腐败) might make it hard for people to think about the future, it was not a strong predictor, either. You might guess that people think about the future more in places where they tend to live longer, but astonishingly, national life expectancy was not as strong a predictor as water scarcity.Our work suggests that as many places dry up, global warming could reshape how people think, pushing entire communities toward more cautious, environmentally friendly, future-oriented behavior. Water scarcity could be uniquely powerful motivation for us to prepare for and respond to a warmer world.8．What does the example of game-playing in Paragraph 1 illustrate?A．Scarcity results in shortsighted decisions.B．Game-playing needs a higher focus.C．Game players become rich overnight.D．Losing money makes us plan for the future. 9．Who might have a long-term purpose?A．People living in Shiraz.B．People in dry Spain.C．People focusing on the past.D．People reading about water surplus. 10．What most likely accounts for cultural differences?A．Corruption.B．Income per capita.C．A sense of water scarcity.D．National life expectancy.11．What will water scarcity inspire people to do?A．Respond to climate change actively.B．Change our attitude toward family.C．Make people care about community.D．Be more cautious about their relationship.Perhaps artificial intelligence doesn’t have to be as scary as news reports have made it out to be.“We’re already starting to move away from organizations like Reuters and Associated Press and things like that into more sort of niche (小众的) publications that focus on specific topics like the environment or tech. And that’s been happening for a couple of years now. And I think it’ll continue to happen,” reporter Hilton said.So how is the rise of digital platforms impacting traditional journalism?How can journalists respond to the challenges that arise with new technologies such as AI-generated content? “There will be certain teams or even departments that will check to see timestamps, check the geographic information and things like that,” reporter Heneghan said.How would journalists be able to call out fake (伪造的) videos? Hilton said fake news reports require journalists to be more cautious and that makes for better journalism. “We’re learning new skills in order to make sure that we’re doing our part and making sure that the truth is out there,” Hilton said.Photojournalist Shore showed a photo of a penguin in a desert and pointed to a label in the corner of the photo. He explained that you can identify an unedited photo because every detail from the moment the photo was taken to any changes made afterward is recorded in protected layers that can be read.When asked whether artificial intelligence would take over the jobs of journalists, Hilton said, “It will take away a lot of the donkey work that journalists have to do. Once those tasks are automated, journalists can pursue more substantive (实质性的) stories. Artificial intelligence would not replace journalism. I don’t think AI is going to make us jobless because we are human beings telling stories about human beings and no machine can do that.”12．Which statement does Hilton agree with?A．Traditional journalism still takes the lead.B．AI is scary in traditional news coverage.C．Journalism is going through huge changes.D．The focus of journalism is ondigitalization.13．What does Shore want to show us by the photo of a penguin?A．What journalists care about most.B．Who are the targets of fake news.C．Why deepfake is too harmful.D．How people identify fake content. 14．What does Hilton stress in the last paragraph?A．AI might improve the work of journalists.B．AI will take the place of journalists.C．AI may tell stories of human beings.D．AI will treat humans as machines. 15．What is the best title of the text?A．AI Will Pose a Threat to Journalism Soon B．The Future of News Is MoreTrustworthyC．Journalism in the Future Will Be Different D．Journalists Use AI for Humanized WorkWhile doing a particularly boring task at work or home, have you ever stopped thinking about what you were doing, and started thinking about your last vacation or another event that made you happy? Or do you sometimes daydream about meeting Taylor Swift or whoever is your favorite pop star instead of focusing on work? 16 Almost everyone at some point experiences that their thoughts drift (转移) away from the task at hand to something else.One interesting question is how mind-wandering affects our emotions. 17 Thinking about the sandy beaches of Hawaii instead of a crucial work email surely is not positive for work performance. On the other hand, it could be argued that mind-wandering may make us feel better in some situations. For example, when Uncle Greg is telling the same annoying story for a twelfth time at a family reunion, thinking about your favorite food may not be the worst thing. In that case, mind-wandering may help regulate negative emotions and create positive emotions in an unpleasant situation. 18To clarify how mind-wandering affects emotional well-being, a team of scientists published a new meta-analysis (元分析). 19 It has the advantage that data from many more volunteers than in typical studies can be analyzed. This makes the results of meta-analyses particularly trustworthy. Overall, the meta-analysis results revealed a negative association between mind-wandering and emotional well-being.20 First, the emotional content of the thoughts experienced during mind-wandering. When the unprompted (自发的) thoughts were negative, the effect on emotional well-being was also negative. However, when the content of the unprompted thoughts was positive, the effect on emotional well-being was also positive. Second, intentionality played a major role. If we intentionally let our minds wander, the effect on emotional well-being is more positive.A．Mind-wandering could make us feel bad.B．More thinking occurs during mind-wandering.C．So it prevents a larger conflict at the reunion.D．However, two factors affected this relationship.E．Mind-wandering can be personally embarrassing.F．Such examples of mind-wandering are quite common.G．It is a statistical integration of previously published studies.二、完形填空Ellie Walker, a 22-year-old employee at the British grocery chain Sainsbury’s, experienced something extraordinary.Known for her 21 behavior, Ellie enjoyed the daily chat with customers but never 22 how deeply these interactions could impact her life. It was during one of these 23 conversations that Ellie encountered Edwin Holmes, an 86-year-old regular 24 .

Cynthia was a primary school student. She was curious about everything. She made efforts to get a good grade in every subject. She was a kind-hearted and outgoing girl. At school, she was always ready to help her classmates. At home, she helped her mum do some housework. She was never a concern to her mum, Mrs. Anderson.However, Mrs. Anderson noticed a change in Cynthia these days. There were more quiet moments. Mrs. Anderson saw Cynthia looking out of the window, lost in thought. She also learned from her teacher that Cynthia wasn’t as focused on school as before. A sense of worry rose in Mrs. Anderson’s heart and she wondered about what was behind Cynthia’s unusual behavior.Before going to bed, she started talking with Cynthia, asking about her day. However, Cynthia just said that nothing in particular happened. Mrs. Anderson’s concern grew. She decided to keep a closer eye, hoping to uncover the challenges her daughter might be facing.One day, while cleaning up Cynthia’s bedroom, Mrs. Anderson discovered something unexpected — on her desk lay some books on how to treat injured birds. It was quite surprising. Cynthia had never told her about this. It also amazed Mrs. Anderson. She had a deep love for nature and birds and she could always find inspiration in their freedom and the beauty of their songs. She couldn’t help but wonder what had inspired her daughter’s newfound interest in birds. 注意：1.续写词数应为150左右;2.开头已给出。

河北省保定市部分学校2023-2024学年高一上学期1月月考英语试题一、阅读理解The Henan Museum was founded in 1927, and is one of the first museums in China. Let’s take a look at some favorites of the museum’s collections.Jiahu bone fluteThe Neolithic Age, around 10,000 years agoThe Jiahu bone flute is the oldest Chinese musical instrument. It is also the earliest known wind instrument in the world. People found more than 40 bone flutes in Jiahu, Henan. They are all made of bird bones. Most of them have seven holes. Our ancestors found a way to make musical instruments with nice sounds.‘Fuhao’ owl-shaped zunThe Shang Dynasty(c.16th century-11 century BC)People in the Shang Dynasty thought the owl was a powerful bird. This owl-shiaped bronze war e was found in the tomb of Fuhao. Fuhao was a queen in the Shang Dynasty. In some people’s eyes, she was a war goddess.Bronze ji n with cloud designThe Spring and Autumn Period (770-476 BC)Jin is a table for wine cups and pots. It’s to remind people not to get drunk. It’s rare to find jin. This ji n is made up of many cloud-shaped parts. And it is 1.03 meters long!Gold slip of Wu ZetianThe Tang Dynasty (690-705 AD)Empress Wu Zetian was the only empress in China.

Just over two years later, Su is the name on everyone’s lips at the venue’s Olympic debut — drawing the whole nation’s attention to the sport he loves.“The biggest motivation for me is my love for snowboarding,” Su said, when asked about the secret to his success. “In snowboarding, I feel like I can demonstrate my own style andcreativity. Every time I ride my board, it’s always a wonderful moment. I hope through my experience, I can inspire more young people to get interested in the sport.”Su, a former child actor who featured in action movies, said the Olympic gold would encourage him to seek for more breakthroughs — even beyond his athletic career.4．What was Su Yiming’s childhood dream?A．To win a gold medal in Olympics.B．To become a professional athlete.C．To reach the top of the sport.D．To demonstrate his own style and creativity. 5．What can we know from the text?A．Su won one championship in Beijing Winter Olympics.B．Su has been an excellent athlete since he chose the game.C．Su won a silver medal in the first international event in Shougang Big Air venue.D．Su drew the whole nation’s attention when he was an action movie actor.6．What characteristics of Su can you infer from the passage?A．Talented and hardworking.B．Brave and kind-hearted.C．Humorous and outgoing.D．Ambitious and helpful.7．What contributes most to Su Yiming’s success?A．His talent.B．His coach’s help.C．His hard work.D．His passion for snowboarding.Amur tiger coming from the coldThe number of Amur tigers, also known as Siberian tigers, removing from Russia into northeastern China, is rising because of lower levels of human activity, improvements in their habitat and a smoother transit corridor (走廊) between the countries, experts said.The area the tigers lived across the Sino-Russian border expanded by about 12 kilometers every three years from 2003 to 2016. “This expansion highlights the importance of the construction of the Sino-Russian cross-border environmental corridor for tigers. Data from the research team show that between 2013 and 2016, nearly 80 percent of the tigers walked back and forth across the border. As natural habitats are being repaired in China, more Amur tigers are giving birth and raising cubs in the country, meaning that they are gradually expanding into China.” Jiang Guangshun, a professor of wild animal resources at the Northeast Forestry University inHarbin, Heilongjiang province, said.In 2021, it was announced that the Northeast China Tiger and Leopard National Park would be built, along with four other parks across the country. By the end of 2021, the number of wild Amur tigers living in the area had risen to 50 from 27 in 2017. Jiang said that before the 1980s, at least 150 Amur tigers lived in the forests of Northeast China. However, economic development in the area saw their numbers fall to about 12.The collaboration between these neighboring parks creates a shared home for the animals. Efforts are required by both sides to promote the corridor, he said.Wang Zhigang, head of Dongning’s forestry bureau said: “As the population of prey species including wild boar and deer rises, Amur tigers are going farther into China for food. Tiger fur has been seen in ditches (沟) along the borders. The expansion of the tigers’ range is expected to continue. The central government has taken measures to protect these tigers.”8．What’s the purpose of the first paragraph?A．To make the story interesting.B．To draw people’s attention.C．To introduce the topic.D．To attract the reader.9．What does the expansion of tiger settlements across the Sino-Russian border stress?A．Natural habitats are being repaired in China.B．The population of the tigers hasincreased 80%.C．The tigers are gradually expanding into China.D．It’s important to construct this corridor for tigers.10．What does the underlined word “collaboration” in paragraph 4 probably mean?A．Competition.B．Teamwork.C．Challenge.D．Arrangement. 11．What will the author continue to write at the end of this passage?A．The benefits of the animal protection.B．The specific content of the measures.C．The population of the tigers.D．The changes of the habitat.Buying shampoo can be challenging—there are so many brands to choose from, across a huge range of prices. Some brands promise to repair and nourish our hair, while others promise to strengthen and add volume. But are any of these claims true? Do we even need shampoo at all?Since long before shampoo was invented—some say in India—our bodies have beenproducing sebum (皮脂) which keeps our skin from getting dry, manages the health of our head skin and makes our hair shiny. But it also collects dirt, and, if left untouched for too long, sebum can cause our hair to become oily.There are no disadvantages to letting our hair be oily, says Eleanore Richardson, Trichologist at Fulham Scalp and Hair Clinic, but many people choose to wash their hair regularly for aesthetic (审美的) reasons.And so we reach for the shampoo bottle. Shampoos contain a group of chemicals called surfacents (表面活性剂). They grab the dirt and oil from the surface of our hair, meaning when we wash down the shampoo, we also wash away the oil and. dirt. But, as Laura Waters, who’s a Professor of Pharmaceutical Analysis in the School of Applied Sciences at Huddersfield University; points out, “some surfacents work too well” and take the natural oils out of the hair, as well. More expensive shampoos may contain less harsh surfacents, but-adds Laura Waters—the type of shampoo doesn’t really matter. It’s on our hair very briefly and gets washed away.” It’s the conditioners and styling products that we use after the shampoo that make a bigger difference to the feel of our hair.Of course, the more we put onto our hair, the more we need to wash it off, creating a unhealthy circle. So, yes, it seems we do have a need for shampoo, but we also shouldn’t expect it to be a miracle cure. And, finally, next time you’re buying shampoo, remember that hair is made up of dead protein cells and that, sadly, not even the most expensive shampoo can bring them back to life.12．What is paragraph 2 mainly about?A．The advantage of sebum.B．The source of sebum.C．The type of sebum.D．The function of sebum.13．What do we know about according to Laura Waters?A．Expensive shampoos containing less harsh surfacents is better for our hair.B．Some surfacents of shampoos can remove the natural oils out of the hair.C．It is the surfacents of shampoos that make a bigger difference to the feel of our hair.D．It’s not necessary to wash our hair regularly for aesthetic reasons.14．What is the author’s attitude towards expensive shampoo?A．Disapproving.B．Supportive.C．Positive.D．Indifferent.15．What is the best title of the passage?A．Shampoo—A necessity or not.B．Shampoo—An expensive productC．Shampoo—A magical cure for our hair.D．Shampoo—A challenge to buy.Tips For Making Travel Easy & FunCurious about how to travel the world? I’ve been traveling around the world for many years as a digital nomad. And I have tons of useful travel tips from my journey. I’ll share my favorite ones with you all.Make yourself patientPatience is my top travel tip. Don’t sweat the things you can’t control. Life is much too short to be angry and annoyed all the time while traveling. Did you miss your bus? 16 . ATM out of money? Great! Take an unplanned road trip to the next town and explore. I know it can be hard sometimes, but just take a deep breath and remind yourself that it could be worse.17Rise before sunrise to have the best attractions all to yourself while avoiding large tourist crowds. It’s also a magical time for photos due to soft diffused light, and it’s usually easier to interact with locals getting ready for their day.Observe daily life around youIf you really want to get a feel for the pulse of a place, why not spend a few hours sitting ina park or on a busy street corner by yourself just watching day to day life happen in front of you.18 : the smells, the colors, the sounds, and human interactions. You’ll really absorb the destination, and remember these moments long after you leave.Laugh at yourself sometimes19 . Rather than get embarrassed, laugh at yourself. Don’t be afraid to screw up, and don’t take life so seriously. Relax! One time a whole bus full of Guatemalans laughed with glee when I forced the bus driver to stop so I could catch up my hat blown away by the wind on the side of the road.Volunteer occasionallyMake it a point to volunteer some of your time for worthwhile projects when traveling.20 , but you’ll often learn more about the country and its people while also making some newfriends.A．You need to get there before the bus arrivesB．No worries, there will be another oneC．Not only is it a very rewarding experienceD．You will definitely look like a fool many timesE．Break out of your comfort zoneF．Wake up early to avoid crowdsG．Slow down your train of thought and pay close attention to the details around you二、完形填空Several years ago, a teacher was hired and sent to visit children who were patients in a city hospital. Her job was to teach them with their schoolwork so they wouldn’t be too far 21 when well enough to return to school.One day, this teacher received a call 22 that she visit a particular boy. She was told by the teacher on the other end of the line, “We’re studying nouns and adverbs now. I’d be 23 if you could help him with his homework so he doesn’t fall behind the others.”It wasn’t until the visiting teacher got outside the boy’s room that she 24 it was located in the hospital’s burn unit.When she had finally walked into the room, she found the young boy, 25 urned, was obviously in great 26 . The teacher felt awkward and didn't know what to say.Finally she was able to stammer out (结结巴巴地说). “I’m the special visiting hospital teacher, and your teacher 27 me to help you with your nouns and adverbs.” Afterward, she thought it was not one of her most 28 lessons.The next morning when she returned, one of the nurses asked her, “What did you do to that Boy?”Before she could finish her apology, the nurse 29 her by saying, “You don’t understand.

Simone loved watching the gymnasts train and performances. She couldn’t just watch them, though—she had to try their moves. She was so good that one of the coaches sent a letter home with her, inviting Simone to take gymnastics classes.Simone loved the classes, and she was excellent at climbing, swinging, jumping, and tumbling(翻筋斗). Though she had a lot to learn, the coaches could hardly keep up with Simone. When one,girl performed a standing back tuck(翻折), Simone was sure she could do one too. Her coach didn’t believe h er, so Simone tried the trick and made it on the spot.At 9, Simone learned why she couldn’t sit still: She had ADHD(多动症). Her brain moved fast and her body did too—which made it hard for her to concentrate in school but which also made her an amazing gymn ast. “The challenges we face help define who we are,” Simone, wrote. “My challenge is also my superpower.” Simone’s superpower would help make her one of the most dynamic gymnasts ever seen.Simone is one of the greatest athletes in history. At age 16, she won two gold medals at the Artistic Gymnastics World Championships(AGWC), including the all-around(the total score from competing in all events). She has now won 25 world medals, 19 of them gold. That’s the most in world gymnastics history. Simone competed in her first Olympics in 2016. She was the first female U. S. gymnast to win four gold medals in an Olympic Games. Since then, Simone has debuted(首次呈现)some moves never successfully done in world competitions, including adouble-double dismount(下马)from the balance beam. The move became known as the Biles. Several signature moves have been named after Simone.24．Who found Simone Biles’ gymnastics talentA．Her parents. B．A tour guide.C．A gymnastics coach.

D．She competed in her first Olympics at 21.27．Where is the text probably taken fromA．A research paper. B．A travel brochure.C．A chemistry textbook. D．A sports magazine.CWhen you encounter animals, do you wonder what they’re thinking Seeing a newborn lamb or a cute puppy might arouse happy emotions (情感) in us, but what are they thinking Does the look on their face and how they behave indicate how they’re feeling - or are they feeling nothing at allHumans have a complex range of feelings, but it’s h ard to tell what’s going on inside the heads of animals. Some of us own dogs,because they are good companions, are loyal and seem to connect with us. We might even think they love us. Professor Kim Bard, an expert in comparative developmental psychology from the University of Portsmouth, told the BBC: “We have a few studies now that actually show scientifically that some dogs will respond when their owner - but not a stranger - pretends to cry.” The empathetic ability of cats, however, is harder to work out.Other non-domesticated (非驯养的) animals might have feelings too. Giraffes and whales, for example, are known to experience sadness when someone in their group dies. It’s believed that even tiny creatures like insects might have emotions as well. Research is beginning to show they experience a wide range of feelings. Kim says “they can be optimistic, pessimistic, or frightened, and respond to pain just like any mammal would.”Dr Barbara J King, Emerita Professor of Anthropology at the College of William and Mary, told the BBC: “If we understand the profound depths of emotions animals can feel, this should make us question the existence of zoos and slaughterhouses (屠宰场) around the world, and rethink those systems. It does seem all creatures feel emotion, but what is not clear is whether they feel the same way as us.”28. What’s the purpose of raising questions in the first paragraphA. To entertain.B. To inspire.C. To attract.D. To persuade.29. What do the underlined words “empathetic ability” in paragraph 2 meanA. The ability to respond to others’ questions.B. The ability to understand others’ feelings.C. The ability to stay calm when facing danger.D. The ability to share work with their owners.30. What’s the importance of the research, according to B arbaraA. It may reduce the times of people visiting zoos.B. It may change the food chain of the whole world.C. It may cause zoos and slaughterhouses to disappear.D. It may lead people to reconsider animals’ well-being.31. How do the researchers sound when talking about the issueA. Careful.B. Certain.C. Critical.D. Regretful.DYoung children are significantly more likely than adults to have their opinions influenced by robots, according to a new research. The study, conducted at the University of Plymouth, compared how adults and children respond to an identical task when in the presence of both their peers (同龄人) and robots.It showed that while adults regularly have their opinions influenced by peers, something also demonstrated in previous studies, theyare largely able to resist being persuaded by robots. However, children aged between seven and nine were more likely to give the same responses as the robots, even if they were obviously incorrect. The study asks people to look at a screen showing four lines and say which two match in length. When alone, people almost never make a mistake but when doing the experiment with others, they tend to follow what others are saying.When children were alone in the room in this research, they scored 87% on the test, but when the robots join in their score drops to 75%. And of the wrong answers, 74% matched those of the robot. Professor Belpaeme said, “People often follow the opinions of others and we’ve known for a long time that it is hard to resist taking over views and opinions of people around us. But as robots will soon be found in the home and the workplace, we were wondering if people would follow robots.“What our results show is that adults do not follow what the robots are saying. But when we did the experiment with children, they did. It shows children can perhaps have more of an affinity (亲和力) with robots than adults, which does pose the question: What if robots were to suggest, for example, what products to buy or what to think ”32．What did the adults do when staying with robotsA．They generally refused the robots’ effects. B．They totally accepted the robots’ suggestions.C．They tried to persuade robots to resist them. D．They usually compared robots with their children.33．Why did some children make more mistakes in the experiment A．Because children were not as clever as the adults. B．Because robots reflected better than human beings. C．Because robots in the presence made mistakes. D．Because children wanted to affect the robots on purpose. 34．What is Professor Belpaeme’s attitude towards the result of the experimentA．He is optimistic about the result. B．He is worried about the future.C．He doesn’t care about the result. D．He doubts the result of the research.35．What should be followed after the last paragraphA．What is the meaning of the research B．What should adults do to avoid the problemC．Why are children more likely to be influenced D．What will be done to solve the problem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。
