（共10分, 每小题2分）Throughout history, most masks are made to change identity. Medical masks, on the other hand, are meant to protect. Here is a brief history of their evolution.17th centuryDoctors wore a uniform that included a headdress with a long,pointed beak filled with aromatics （芳香料）to stop bad smell and fightagainst contagion（传染）carried by bad air. The historical mask is onshow in a museum in Berlin.19th centuryIn an article in Scientific American in 1878, A. J. Jessup, a New York physician, recommended cotton masks to limit contagion during epidemics (widespread of a disease). However, his idea did not catch on.Early 20th centuryResearchers published the first study encouraging the use of medical masks in 1897, but they were uncommon at the turn of the century.In 1905, Chicago physician Alice Hamilton published an article in the Journal of the American Medical Association. "A student in a large medical college in Chicago told me that when the doctor talked to others during an operation, he could see a spray of saliva（唾液）coming from the mouth of the doctor, "Alice Hamilton wrote," so masks should be worn by doctors and nurses in every operation. "During the 1918 global flu, medical workers usually wore masks to protect themselves, and many cities required masks in public. In Seattle, streetcars required all riders to have masks.In the 1920s, masks became standard in operating rooms. Over the next century, medical researchers went on with experiment on designs and materials of masks.Post-World War IIBecause of the heavy air pollution, Britons had to wear "smog masks". As developed countries cleaned up their pollution, smog and smog masks moved todeveloping countries. Mask models such as N95and KN90 became highlypopular.As we can see, masks have been helping mankind for centuries. Wearing medical masks is widely believed to be an easy but effective method to protect oneself from different kinds of harmful tings54. Is the historical mask on show in a museum in Berlin?55. What kind of masks did A. J. Jessup recommend?56. When did masks become standard in operating rooms?57. Why did Britons have to wear "smog masks"?58. What is the passage mainly about?答案：54. Yes.55. Cotton masks56. In the 1920s.57. Because of the (heavy) air pollution.58.

（共10分，每小题2分）Study a calendar. It looks simple and orderly. But a calendar is more of a mathematical puzzle than you might guess. The calendar we use today has gone through centuries of changes.For millennia, people watched the seasons, sun, moon, and stars to help them keep track of time passing. Ancient people did not know that Earth orbits (沿轨道运行) the sun about every 365.25 days. They tried to track the year by counting the full moons. Each year had 12 full moons. Twelve moons, or months, made one lunar year.Calendars in Babylon used a lunar year. Twelve months added up to only 354 days. That made the lunar year 11 days too short. As years went by, the months and the seasons no longermatched up.People in ancient Egypt came up with a solar calendar of 365 days. They observed that Sirius, the Dog Star, appeared near the rising sun every 365 days. Soon after that, the Nile River would rise. They looked forward to the flooding of the Nile, because it brought good things. The rich soil left by floodwaters was good for planting.The ancient Romans used a calendar of 10 months. Because a Roman year was only 304 days, it seemed to always be out of step with the seasons. Holidays showed up at the wrong time of year.A Roman ruler named Julius Caesar ordered a change. He created a calendar with 12 months, each 30 or 31 days long. He added an extra day every four years to keep things on track. This calendar was used for more than a millennium. But by the end of the 16th century, it was ten days out of step.Pope Gregory XIII created today’s calendar in 1582. He set new mathematical rules for keeping the calendar in step with the seasons. Today, the Gregorian calendar is used almost everywhere in the world.34. How long does the Earth orbit the sun?35. Why did people in ancient Egypt look forward to the flooding of the Nile?36. Who created a calendar with 12 months in ancient Romans?37. When was today’s calendar created?38. What is the passage mainly about?答案：34. About 365.25 days.35. Because it brought the rich soil which was good for planting.36. Julius Caesar.37. It was created in 1582.38. It’s about the history of calendar.北京市丰台区2021届九年级上学期期中考试英语试题四、阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。

But why is it that some people could find their way across the Sahara without a map, while others can 13 themselves in the next street?Scientists say we’re all born with a sense of direction, but it is not 14 understood how it works. One theory is that people with a good sense of direction have simply worked harder at 15 it. Research being 16 out at Liverpool University supports this idea and suggests that if we don’t use it, we lose it.“Children as young as seven have the ability to find their way around.” says Jim Marttand, Research Director of the project. “How ever, if they are not allowed out alone or are taken everywhere by car, they never develop the skills.” Jim Martland also emphasizes that young people should be taught certain 17 to improve their sense of direction. He makes the following suggestions:If you are using a map, 18 it so it relates to the way you are facing.If you leave your bike in a strange place, put it near something like a big stone or a tree. Note landmarks on the route as you go away from your bike. When you return, go back along the same route.Simplify the way of finding your direction by using lines such as streets in a town, streams, or walls in the countryside to 19 you. 20 your steps so that you know how far you have gone and note any landmarks such as tower blocks or hills which can help to find out where you are. Now you need never get lost again!13．A．find B．miss C．lose D．save 14．A．quickly B．properly C．quietly D．carefully 15．A．discussing B．discovering C．displaying D．developing 16．A．carried B．checked C．worked D．ruled 17．A．programs B．reasons C．skills D．advice 18．A．remember B．turn C．find D．see 19．A．please B．test C．inform D．guide 20．A．Count B．Watch C．Mind D．Find三、阅读单选21．Who has the happiest memory about Sunday dinner?A．Rosa.

I always looked forward to getting paid so I could go to the shopping centre with my friends on Saturday and spend the money on my favourite things. One Friday evening I heard my mom on the phone with our neighbor and I heard her say a fewtimes, “Oh, that is terrible.” After my mom hung up, I asked what was wrong. She said that the neighbor had no food in her house and that she di dn’t know what she was going to feed her daughter with. Her husband had spent their money on beer and got angry because his wife asked for money to buy groceries (食品杂货). He began to pull dishes out of the cupboards (壁橱) and threw them at the wall. So, the lady didn’t have any groceries or dishes.I had an idea. I asked my mom to drive me to McDonald’s.I bought the lady and her daughter dinner with the babysitting money she had given me. After I had taken them dinner, I asked my mom to take me to the store and I bought the lady dishes and groceries with the rest of the money. When I knocked on the front door, the lady gave me a big hug and told me how grateful she was that I helped her. When Saturday came around, I didn’t have any money to go to the shopping centre with my friends, but I didn’t care, because I felt great that I was able to help this family.Later, we moved away from the area. I saw our neighbor three times and she always told me how much she thanked me for caring her and her daughter.24．The writer always looked forward to getting paid, so she could ________.A．buy dishes for her mum B．spend money on McDonald’sC．buy food for the lady’s daughter D．spend the money on her favourite things 25．What did the writer buy for the lady?A．McDonald’s, dis hes and beer. B．Groceries, cupboard and dishes.C．McDonald’s, dishes and groceries.D．McDonald’s, groceries and cupboard. 26．How did the lady feel when the writer helped her?A．Surprised. B．Thankful. C．Terrible. D．Angry.New Technology Revolutionizes(变革) LearningMore and more people believe that technologies are great for learning. Today, such teaching tools as iPads are used in a lot of courses, including language, history and science.Many teachers are supporters of using iPads in language learning. They say that students now have much more time for discussion in the classroom.Instead of spending valuable class time listening to texts or watching teaching videos, students can do this on their own and come to class prepared for discussion.The teachers also say that iPads allow students to learn_______. Some students might listen to a dialogue only once and understand it, so they can save time for doing other things. Other students, however, might need to listen to the same dialogue again and again to understand it. Using iPads is especially helpful to students who are learning a language at different paces.The students who are using the new tool in some courses are also happy. They believe that using iPads is a more enjoyable way to learn (such as listening to stories and watching movies). The class has become much more interesting and creative.There are other advantages for students. By using iPads, they can pay more attention to the material and learn more. Teaching notes are stored in their iPads and are easy to find .Some students spend more time studying now.“I can listen to my language material or watch teaching videos on the bus, instead of having to wait until I get home,” a student explained.Many adults complain that technologies such as iPads are doing harm to students. They worry that students might use iPads to download teaching notes and use them to cheat during exams. Some believe that iPads may separate students from each other. If a student spends more time watching videos on an iPad, he will have fewer opportunities to have face-to-face communication with others.However, technologies are already a part of most students’ day-to-day lives. As forcheating, teachers can ask students to hand in their iPads when they take exams. Education needs to make changes with the times as technology is playing an important part. We should look forward to a wonderful future when iPads and other technologies can add a lot to the classroom.27．What does the expression“at their own pace” in Paragraph 3 pr obably mean? A．According to their own timetable.B．Without their teachers’ help.C．Because of their wonderful goals.D．Against their parents’ hope.28．From the passage we can learn that____.A．students with iPads have less discussion in classB．students get more fun from learning with iPadsC．iPads help students save time waiting for busesD．iPads prevent students from cheating in exams29．The writer probably agrees that____.A．teachers can take control of students’ learningB．exam results depend a lot on now technologyC．technology in education has a bright futureD．note-taking is as helpful as video-watchingWhen students and parents are asked to grade subjects according to their importance, the arts are usually at the bottom of the list. Music is nice, people seem to say, but not important. Too often it is only viewed as entertainment, but certainly not an education priority（优先）. This view is shortsighted. In fact, music education is very important for all students.Music tells us who we are. Because music is an expression of the beings who create it, it shows their thinking and values, as well as the social environment it came from. Rock music represents a lifestyle just as surely as does a Schubert song. The jazz influence that George Gershwin and other musicians introduced into their music is obviously American because it came from American musical traditions. Music expresses our character and values. It gives us identity（身份，特性）as a society.Music provides a kind of perception（感知）that cannot be acquired any other way. Sciencecan explain how the sun rises and sets. The arts can express the emotive（情感的）meaning of the same thing. We need every possible way to discover and respond to our world for one simple but powerful reason: No one way can get it all.The arts are forms of thought as powerful in what they communicate as mathematical and scientific symbols. They are ways we human beings “talk” to each other. They are the language through which we express our fears, our hungers, our discoveries, our hopes. The arts are ways we give form to our ideas and imagination so that they can be shared with others. When we do not give children an important way of expressing themselves such as music, we take away from them the meanings that music expresses.Science and technology do not tell us what it means to be human. The arts do. Music is an important way we express human suffering, celebration, the value of peace and love.So music education is far more necessary than people seem to realize.30．What can we learn from Paragraph 1?A．Students regard music as a way of entertainment.B．Students disagree with their parents on education.C．Students take music as an important subject.D．Students prefer the arts to science.31．In Paragraph 2, the writer uses jazz as an example to____________.A．compare it with rock musicB．show music identifies a societyC．introduce American musical traditionsD．prove music influences people’s lifestyles32．According to the passage, the arts and science____________. .A．explain the world in different waysB．explain different facts of the worldC．express people’s feelings in different waysD．explain what it means to be human differently33．What is the main idea of the passage?A．Music education is worth more attention.B．Music should be of top education priority.C．Music is really a good communication tool.D．Music education makes students more imaginative.四、回答问题A 108-year-old Message in a BottleOn November 30, 1906, George Bidder dropped a bottle from a boat into the North Sea. The weighted glass bottle sank almost to the sea floor, and then it moved slowly for 108 years and 138 days.Its journey ended when Marianne Winkler found the bottle in 2015. Winkler was then on vacation on Amrum Island. She picked up the bottle when it was washed up onto the beach. She saw a piece of paper inside, but didn’t break it open. She could tell that the bottle was old, so she didn’t want to damage it. Finally she got the piece of paper out of the bottle. She found that the paper was actually a post-card. On the back of the card there was this message: The Marine Biological Association (海洋生物学会协会) would pay a shilling (先令) for the bottle. A shilling was a unit of money that was used in Great Britain before the early 1970s.Winkler filled out the card and posted it. The association was surprised to get a postcard addressed to George Bidder, the president of the association from 1939 to 1945. The workers of the association searched on the Internet to find a shilling. They found one and sent it to Winkler as a reward.The message in the bottle was the oldest ever re-discovered. For this reason Marianne Winkler got a place in “Guinness World Records” (吉尼斯世界纪录). She broke the record for the oldest message in a bottle.Winkler’s bottle was not the only one Bidder sent to sea. Between 1904 and 1906, he sent away more than one thousand bottles. He placed postcards inside them. The bottles were part of a research project to map currents (洋流) in the North Sea. This was the best method at that time. But whether the association could get the bottles back depended on the people who found them. The association reported that about 55 percent of the bottles were returned. They added that the experiment was a success as it showed the east-to-west flow of the North Sea’scurrents.34．How long did the weighted glass bottle move in the sea?35．When did Marianne Winkler find the bottle?36．What was in the bottle?37．Who was George Bidder?38．Why did Bidder drop bottles into the sea?五、书信作文39．假如你是李华，你要邀请你的朋友Tony去参观国家博物馆(the National Museum)，请用英语写一封电子邮件，告诉他你们见面的时间地点，并简要介绍该博物馆。

（共26分，每小题2分）AHow do you make friends? Some students are sharing their ideas with us.21. Who often plays basketball after school?A. Tom.B. Yumi.C. Anna.D. Peter.22. With the help of her friends, Yumi ________________.A. takes more exerciseB. feels happier at picnicsC. learns English betterD. makes up more stories23. Anna has made some good friends _______________.A. at her schoolB. in other countriesC. at the gymD. on the InternetBAs a teenager, I hated PE lessons. I was not very good at sports, and Ihated team sports because I always felt like I was disappointing the rest ofthe team. During these years, I sometimes felt disconnected from my bodylike only my brain was "me" and my body was just a vehicle （运载工具）for carrying my brain around.When I started university, I decided to try a kung fu club. To my surprise, I loved it! In my first year, most of us were beginners. I used to go two or three times a week. Because it is not a team sport, I didn't feel sorry about not being very good. And because it is a combat （格斗）sport, you train in pairs, which means that you get to meet people and talk to them. I also appreciated （欣赏）that the focus of the classes was on getting better at kung fu, rather than exercising to change my body. When I was doing kung fu, my body changed—I got stronger and quicker—but the changes were a side effect of the sport, instead of the goal.When I moved to Italy this year, I decided to start doing a combat sport again. I joined a local martial arts （武术）club and I loved it. We did lots of sparring （拳击）.I think that sparring is like chess, but much faster and much more fun! If your sparring partner tries to hit you hard with his fist, you have to move quickly to avoid him, block or even catch his arm and then throw him to the mat.When I was a teenager, I would say I just wasn't a sporty person and that I just didn't like sport and never would. Now I think that everyone should try as many sports as possible because I believe there is something out there for everyone! I feel connected to my body and I am happier and have more energy when I have been doing sport.24. Why did the writer hate PE lessons when he was a teenager?A. Because he was not very good at sports.B. Because his teammates were not friendly.C. Because he couldn't understand his PE teacher.D. Because there was something wrong with his body.25. What club did the writer go to when he was at university?A. A martial arts club.B. A chess club.C. A kung fu club.D. A boxing club.26. How did the writer become a sporty person?A. He set a goal to get stronger.B. He played many team sports.C. He did fast and fun sports every day.D. He tried and found the right sport for him.CDo you get upset because you can't complete what you want to? For instance, you might want to clean out your closets or write that novel you've been putting off. Maybe you try to focus, but you feel overwhelmed （难以应付的）.Finding control comes down to one simple strategy （策略）:developing a habit of being organized. This means you've got to think ahead. When you can get organized, keep things under control, and live a tidy life, you can work faster and think more creatively. Here are some tips that can help:If it's about housework, take a few minutes each day to de-clutter （清除杂乱）. Use small bits of time to clean out a drawer or throw old clothes into a cardboard box for donation. Get in the habit of buying organizational tools, like containers, for storing small things.Group similar tasks. Clean out the refrigerator while a roast is cooking. Don't jump back and forth from room to room or jump from one task to an unrelated one. Also, you can put similar things together. For example, look at your bookshelf and try putting all the books about each topic in a group. Then it will be easier and faster to find the book you need.It's a great way to make a to-do list. Use a calendar to plan out what you need to do each month. Then at the start of each workday, write down three important tasks you want to achieve that day quickly. Put a big star next to the most important one. So, before you go into the busy work, start on the important task and see it through to the end.Getting organized should extend to your activities outside your home or office as well. Putting everything in order leaves you a clear calendar to plan for more activities with friends.Motivating （激励）yourself to get organized should start with the rewards you'll experience. It's much easier to start a habit if you can imagine how the changes will make you feel.27. According to the passage, if you get organized, ________________.A. your life will become busierB. your imagination will be limitedC. you will finish the work more quicklyD. you will control the things around you28. Which of the following can help you get organized?A. Doing unrelated tasks at the same time.B. Spending a whole weekend doing housework.C. Getting in the habit of buying more beautiful furniture.D. Listing the things and beginning with the important one.29. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. The ways of doing housework.B. The ways of getting organized.C. The benefits of getting organized.D. The importance of making a list.DThat Susan is so funny... I need to bring the car to the wash tomorrow...why is this person so loud... here comes the sun, doo-doo-doo.We often find ourselves in an endless thought loop （圈）・And every so often, we try to stop this endless flow of thoughts by telling ourselves to just stop thinking. But do we or can we ever really stop thinking?It depends on your definition （定义）of "thinking", according to Michael Halassa, a researcher at MIT, the US. We basically go through each day in one of the two states一we either realize that we9re thinking or we don't. Our brains won't stop thinking completely until we die."The brain never stops thinking in a sense. Most thoughts are actually in the background without us noticing them and there's not really a way to turn these things 0氐"Halassa said.You can compare this to how a computer works. When you aren't using your computer while it's turned on, it is still running operations "in the background". Your computer, much like your brain, is always "thinking”，even if you're not actively using it.Tf you see a familiar face in a crowd and think you know them, you might not be able to come up with how you know them right away," Halassa said. "But maybe hours later, you'll suddenly remember. That's a result of your brain thinking in the background."We even make decisions mostly unconsciously or without realizing them. For example, some of this background "thinking" results in what we call a "gut feeling （直觉）"・During our brain's decision-making process, sometimes we create a story to explain the decision—sometimes it's accurate （精确的），sometimes ifs not.Even sitting here reading this, thinking about "thinking" is sending messages across a chain of neurons （神经元）in the brain. So if we somehow manage to stop ourselves from "thinking", the brain won't sign off It will continue to have thoughts一we just won't realize them.30. When you are in an endless thought loop, you_________________.A. can think about a problem very clearlyB. keep thinking about one thing after anotherC. cannot stop thinking about things in the pastD. keep thinking about one thing again and again31.

A voice inside me said that it would be miserable to live with my grandpa, which meant no afternoon baseball games with my neighborhood friends.The first week with Grandpa was fine. We went out for dinner and watched TV together. One day, Grandpa was sitting at the table reading the newspaper. I sat on the couch and flipped （快速翻动）through my baseball card collection. "Wish I had a Hank Aaron card," I said to myself.When Grandpa heard me, he said in surprise, "I didn't know you liked baseball, Susan." I explained that it was my favorite sport and I usually played it all summer with my friends. Grandpa stood up shakily and walked to the door. "Let's go, " he said, with excitement. "I want to show you something. "We drove for quite a while, and when Grandpa finally stopped the car, we were in front of some old houses. A sign on each house said "Land Will Be Sold. Call For Details." I noticed that Grandpa had a faraway look in his eyes. "I haven't been here for decades,” he whispered. "Probably twenty or thirty years." We walked there and he pointed down the street and said, "That's the field where I used to play baseball every summer." Then I realized where we were: This was the house where Grandpa grew up! We looked inside a window and saw a big mess. No one had lived here for a long time.On the ride home, Grandpa was very quiet. I thought about how he must miss his old home and the friends he grew up with. If he could just go back in time for a few minutes, he would feel very happy and less lonely. Then I realized that six weeks away from home was not too bad, especially with Grandpa around.44. The writer complained about her coming vacation because _______________.A. she could not play baseball games with friendsB. she could not enjoy her baseball card collectionC. she would go out for dinner with her grandfatherD. she would leave her home and live in an old house45. When Grandpa heard Susan liked baseball, he was __________________.A. hopeful and thankfulB. confused and upsetC. worried and unhappyD. surprised and excited46. What might Susan most probably do after visiting the old house?A. Cleaning the old house with her neighborhood friends.B. Complaining about her boring vacation to her mom.C. Sharing her baseball cards with her schoolmates.D. Listening to Grandpa's life story in the past.CSelf-control is a skill that children need to succeed in school,socially and emotionally. The development of self-control beginsat birth and continues throughout our lives. As babies, we havelittle or no control over our behaviors and emotions, but as we get older, with the help of parents or caregivers, we learn how to take turns, how to pay attention in class, stick to a challenging task, and restrain （制止）from hitting another child. These abilities continue to develop in our childhood and then youthhood. Also, it is clear that being impulsive （易冲动的）can have bad effects on children, causing interpersonal problems, poor physical health, and psychiatric disorders.Therefore, by learning self-control, children can make right decisions and respond to situations in positive ways. One of the effective strategies, when helping children develop self-control abilities, is to select developmentally proper tasks. Try setting up simple goals first, where success is expected, before moving onto the next goal. For preschoolers, goals might include not interrupting or not fighting on the playground. For early elementary school students, right goals might be following bedtime rules.However, it's not enough to set up simple goals, because for children of the same age, there are still some differences in the development of self-control abilities. Some general strategies often help them learn right self-control behaviors.•Take a breakEncourage children to take a break or "time in” whenever they feel down, annoyed or angry. Stepping away from an upsetting situation can help a child calm down.•Teach and provide attentionPaying attention is a skill that can be taught. Encourage children to resist interrupting by learning to observe others without talking, so they can join in easily. Make sure to provide children with attention at times so they don't feel ignored and therefore are unlikely to interrupt.•Use proper rewards （奖励）In order to develop positive behaviors, children need frequently positive feedback. Praise and consistent feedback can be highly rewarding for young children. It is important to let a child know what a desired behavior is.•Use activities designed to teach self-regulation （自我管理）Using specific activities can help teach young children skills that improve self-control. Some of these skills include dealing with "wanting something I can't have", understanding feelings, and controlling anger.47. What can we learn from Paragraph 1 ?A. As people get older, their attention will improve naturally.B. Being impulsive can often cause bad results in children's grades.C. Children can learn how to control themselves with the help of parents.D. Self-control development begins at birth and keeps growing till youthhood.48. What can teachers do when students feel very disappointed?A. Teach and provide attention.B. Give rewards and suggestions.C. Teach skills to regulate themselves.D. Encourage them to take a break.49. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. Time Waits for No Man—The Development of Self-ControlB. Have Power over Your Mind—Tips on Developing Self-ControlC. Prevention Is Better than Cure—Rules of Self-Control BehaviorsD. Think Twice Before You Act—The Importance of Self-Control SkillsDTechnology ProgressOn June 22, 1927, Charles Lindbergh flew into Dayton, Ohio, for dinner at Orville Wright’s house. It had been just a month since the youngpilot5s first ever individual nonstop crossing of the Atlantic, and he felt he ought to pay respects to the pioneer of flight.Forty-two years later, on July 16, 1969, Apollo 11 astronaut Neil Armstrong was allowed to bring a personal guest to the Kennedy Space Center to view the launch of NASA's towering Saturn V rocket. Armstrong invited his hero, Charles Lindbergh. That's how fast technology advanced in the 20th century.However, progress isn't what it used to be now. Northwestern University economist Robert Gordon argues that by 1970, all the key technologies of modern life were in place: electricity, highways, telecommunications, and the like. After that, innovation （仓U新）and economic growth simply couldn't keep going as fast as the last 100 years—a period Gordon calls "the special century". Gordon argues the lives of people in developed nations look and feel the same in 2020 as they did in 1979 or 1989.Slowing down is good in one small way, though bad in most of the ways that count. Rapid changes can sometimes be disorienting （令人迷惑的）.And when things develop at a lower speed, people and institutions do have more time to breathe and fit in. But slowing down isn't what it should be. In many areas of technology, the forward movement today feels tragically slow, even nonexistent.Consider consumer robotics. There5s huge potential for robots to help us. But home robotics companies seem to keep folding. For example, social robot maker Jibo closed in March after raising almost $73 million.Our century’s one signature technology achievement is smartphones. At this point, we've had them in our pockets long enough to begin to appreciate their dangers. Meanwhile the list of possibly world¬changing technologies that get people's attention but still remain in the original stage is very long. Self¬driving cars, AR glasses. Need I continue?Indeed, these are all hard problems. But historically, solving the big problems has required continuous, large-scale investment（投资）, often with private markets and taxpayers sharing the cost. In this century, we need to undo some bad results of the last great boom （繁荣）bydeveloping affordable zero——and negative—emissions technologies right now. That's another hard problem—and to solve it, we'll need to rethink what made the "special century", so special.50. The writer mentions Charles Lindbergh in Paragraphs 1 and 2 to show that __________.A. Charles has contributed greatly to technologyB. Charles paid respects to the pioneer of flightC. technology developed rapidly in the 20th centuryD. technology has advanced to a higher new level51. The underlined word "folding” in Paragraph 5 probably means _____________.A. shuttingB. separatingC. growingD. operating52. What can we learn from the passage?A. Some world-changing technologies are not making progress.B. Home robotics companies failed because of little investment.C. It's time to realize the disadvantages of fast development now.D. It doesn't take us long before we realize the dangers of smartphones.53. The writer probably agrees _______________.A. markets and taxpayers have a duty to develop technologiesB. innovation and investment are needed for technology advanceC. what made the last century special will happen in the new centuryD. rapid changes in technology are bad in most of the ways that count答案：41.

Here are some of our favourite posts.SophieWhen I first visited New York, I went to a shopping centre. I asked a lady where the shoes were. She said they were on the first floor. I went upstairs. But I couldn’t find any. I thought she gave me the wrong information. Then, I realized that the first floor was the ground floor.Yancy.I went to a summer school in Manchester. One day, the head master told us that our English teacher Maggie couldn’t teach that day because she had a frog in her throat. Why did she eat a frog? Then I learned that it means someone’s throat is dry or blocked. How funny! JulienMy British penfriend once told me that his grandfather was “wicked （邪恶的）”. But when I met his grandfather, I liked him a lot. I found it very strange. Why did my friend use a bad word about such a nice man? Guess what? When speaking informally, “wicked” means “very nice”.Zheng XuI was part of a student exchange programme between a school in England and one in China. I knew I had done a good job writing my first English paper. But my teacher gave me “Not bad!” Not bad? There weren’t any mistakes! Actually, British people use “not bad” when things are pretty good! I got a good comment!21．Who posted the story about buying shoes?A．Sophie.B．Yancy.C．Julien.D．Zheng Xu. 22．What happened to Maggie?A．She ate a frog.B．She had a dry throat.C．She lost her penfriend.D．She got a bad comment.23．What does Julien think of his penfriend’s grandfather?A．Strange.B．Funny.C．Strict.D．Nice.Dog’s Best FriendJarrett Little was road testing his mountain bike outside of Columbus, Georgia, when his riding partner, Chris Dixon, stopped suddenly. Something nearby moving among the trees had caught her attention. It turned out to be a sandy-colored five-month-old dog.“He was really thin, and had a broken leg,” Little told CBS News. The cyclists fed the friendly dog and shared their water. They also quickly realized that the dog was coming with them, although they had no idea how. They were more than seven miles from downtown and riding bikes. “We couldn’t leave him,” Little said. “Out there next to the Oxbow Meadows, he was going to end up as alligator (短吻鳄) food.”Little, a 31-year-old business owner, had an idea. He carefully picked up his new friend and put the 38-pound dog’s back legs into the pockets of his cycling shirt. Then he placed the dog’s front legs over his shoulders.“He was hurt, so he wasn’t trying to fight,” Little says. “He was also happy that we were there, touching him, and hadn’t taken off on him.”Their 30-minute ride into town ended at a bike store, where they got more water and food for the dog. “That was when Andrea Shaw, a company worker, happened by. The dog went straight to her, smelling and “loving on her,” says Dixon. Shaw was touched and, after learning what had happened, decided to keep the dog.Shaw called him Columbo after the town where they’d met and planned an operation onhis leg. Today, Columbo is living the high life on a farm with a horse and a six-year-old boy to keep him company. As Dixon said, “He is really the luckiest dog alive.”24．Why did Dixon stop suddenly during the road testing?A．She noticed something moving among the trees.B．She had cycled seven miles and wanted to rest.C．She met some other riding partners by chance.D．She wanted to share some water with Little.25．What can we learn about the dog?A．He is unfriendly to people.B．He is kept happily on a farm.C．He weighed about 31 pounds.D．He ended up as alligator food.26．According to the passage, the dog’s best friend is .A．the alligator B．the human C．the horse D．CBS News There is a famous English saying “You are what you eat”, and it means what you put in your mouth will become part of you. Many experts (专家) use it to tell people it’s important to have a good eating habit. For example, too much sweet food makes a person overweight. To avoid being fat, kids are told to keep off sweet food. However, a team of American scientists have discovered something new about eating sweet food.“When we say some people ‘sweet’, we mean they are kind and friendly to us. Perhaps this word can help us learn more about people’s feelings and acts,” said Brian Meier, a scientist from the study team. “Taste is something we experience every day. What we have done is to find whether we can know someone’s character and behavior depending on their taste.”In one of their experiments, college students were asked questions about their character — whether, for example, they were soft-hearted or not. Then they were asked to make a list of their favorite food. According to their answers, the scientists found that the students who liked sweet food were nicer.In their another experiment, the scientists found that people who preferred sweet food such as cookies and chocolate were more willing to help other people in need, and those who ate non-sweet food such as chips weren’t. For example, people with a sweet tooth were more likely to volunteer to clean up their city, visit sick children in the hospital and so on.The result of the experiments is that people’s helpfulness or being nice has something to do with their taste for sweet food. So eating sweet food is a useful way to make people nice and helpful. Next time, try some ice-cream.27．According to the result of the experiments, sweet food can make people ________. A．overweight B．excited C．relaxed D．friendly 28．The purpose of the experiment in Paragraph 4 is to show ________.A．character and behavior has something to do with people’s tasteB．why some people like sweet food better than other kindsC．people who like cookies and chocolate like helping othersD．non-sweet food eaters are not willing to volunteer to help those in need29．We can learn from the passage that ________.A．people’s taste decides their characters and actsB．sweet food makes people overweightC．people with a sweet tooth are more willing to help othersD．people’s character has nothing to do with their tasteMindlessly checking Facebook makes you an awful lot like a lab mouse continuously pushing a button in order to get a treat.When you check your phone, your brain gets its own little zing; Someone might be talking about you on Facebook! No? Reload. Maybe your Instagram got a heart! Reload. Reload.But you’re no rat. Human brains can fight the ways apps hijack our brains, if we learn some skills to deal with this problem.Are Facebook or Twitter “addictions” （瘾）? Recent scientific research about social media doesn’t agree on that term, but evidence that we aren’t doing well is present at dinner tables where everyone is staring at screens, and at crosswalks where absent-minded people walk into traffic.I became mindful of my early-morning bad habits. Pre-coffee, half awake, I’d lie there for an hour with my phone. So I called up psychologists, brain scientists and app designers for advice on what actually would help me.Surprisingly, they didn’t tell me to immediately stop, but instead, they told me I needed the skills for managing social media as part of my life.Limit Triggers （诱因）Our brains are made to quickly eat up information. So why let social-media companies decide when to attract you? Turn off app notifications on your phone and computer, especially for live video broadcasts. They are designed to create the fear of missing out.Avoid Quicksand （流沙, 陷阱）When you’re on Facebook, it is easy to read one article, then another. Nir Eyal, author of the 2014 book “Hooked” says he forces himself not to read anything right away. Instead, he saves articles to a service called Pocket, which reads them aloud while he’s at the gym.We hurt ourselves when we use social media as a break from serious work. Our brains need a chance to be empty. Research suggests the best way to help your brain focus is exercise, even for a short period. Staring into space would be better than refreshing Facebook.Make New NormsNot that long ago, you could be fired for not paying attention during a meeting or class; now, many openly use their phones or laptops. Bosses could set a better work culture by providing charging stations at meetings where everyone could leave their phones, then focus on the discussion at hand. Mr. Eyal suggests you try shaming friends who have bad habits-if you do it politely. If someone is not listening to you at dinner, ask, “Is everything OK?” The answer might start an important conversation.Tech Should HelpThe social-media industry has a responsibility here, too. Since companies usually know exactly how much time users spend on their apps, they should offer help to people who have problem behavior. And for the rest of us, let’s encourage app makers to make their products more helpful, not more demanding of our time.30．What does the underlined word “hijack” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A．Wash.B．Hurt.C．Control.D．Empty. 31．Why does Mr.Eyal save articles to Pocket?A．To rest his tired brain.B．To refresh his Facebook immediately. C．To get more time to exercise.D．To avoid being attracted by social media.32．What is the best title of this passage?A．Take a break from busy life.B．Free your brain from social media. C．Separate social life from your work.D．Keep your life away from apps. 33．What can we infer from the passage?A．The social-media industry should make more app products.B．People with problem behavior should ask brain scientists for help.C．We should decide when to connect to social media by ourselves.D．A company with charging stations must have a better work culture.四、阅读回答问题Coronavirus （新型冠状病毒）disease （COVID-19）is an infectious disease caused by a newly discovered coronavirus. More cases are still reported in some cities every day. Please follow the general COVID-19 prevention guidance. Stay cautious when you meet up with friends. Avoid indoor activities and stay away from big groups by sticking to a core group of friends and family. You should only play sports and games with others when you can stay 6 feet apart and wear face coverings. Get tested as quickly as you can if you have any symptoms such as fever, cough and headaches. If you are tested positive, please stay at home and protect those around you by wearing a face covering.To prevent catching the infection, here are some more tips to help you stay safe as you move about the city this fall.●When you go to the gym：√ Wear a face covering that covers your nose and mouth at all times. Don’t cover your face with bandanas （印花手帕）or gaiters （鞋套）.They are not acceptable face coverings while at the gym.√ Stop socializing. Keep at least 6 feet away from gym—goers.●When you eat out:√Do not wait. Make a reservation, check out the menu online and do whatever else you can to avoid long wait times before you get a table and order.√Keep your face covering on at all times unless you are eating and drinking.●When you shop:√ Use hand sanitizer （消毒液）when entering the store, after touching products and after leaving the store.√Only touch products you intend to buy, and use contactless （无需接触的）payment methods whenever possible.34．What should you do when you play sports and games with others?__________________35．Why can’t you cover your face with bandanas or gaiters at the gym?__________________36．When can you take off your face covering when you eat out?__________________37．How can you pay safely when you shop?__________________38．What is the purpose of the article?__________________五、电子邮件39．根据中文和英文提示，完成一篇不少于50词的文段。
