The collection introduces a special five-character Little People set that includes a doctor, nurse, EMT, delivery driver and grocery store worker.“Whether these toys are given as a gift to thank someone working on the front lines, or used as a tool to help children have a conversation about how they’re feeling, it is our hope that these toys, in general, can finally make these difficult times easier for both kids and adults.” said Chuck Scothon, Senior Vice President of Mattel.#Thank You Heroes# is available for order now.

Impatient.DAt the end of a long workweek, there’s nothing I like better than teaching my son how to drive.My late November baby missed taking driver’s education in scho ol, partly because he was too young to take it with his friends, partly because he’s disorganized truly. Whatever the reason, the fact is that my boy is still unable to drive at 19 and hasn’t shown any interest in changing that fact.I asked him why he was n’t interested in getting a driver’s license(驾照). He told me he was worried about the responsibility( 责任 ). Being out on the road filled him with fear. The first time I heard this argument, I thought, “Fair enough. He understands the seriousness of drivin g. What a responsible human being I’d brought up!” As it turned out, my son’s explanation wasn’t quite as high-minded as I thought. He also wasn’t the only one who came up with this near-perfect excuse for avoiding the world of traffic jams. And I’m not th e only parent whose child has no interest in learning how to drive.A study showed that in the US, in 2019, just 24.5 percent of 16-year-olds had a license,while in 1983, 46.2 percent did. Only 69 percent of 19-year-olds had licenses in 2019, compared to 87.3 percent in 1983.Why do teens have no interest in getting a license nowadays? Unsurprisingly, money is a reason. It’s not easy to afford to buy or keep even a second-hand car. Add in sky-high gas prices and choices such as Uber and Lyft, and I’m starti ng to wonder why I drive. Social media also plays a role. Why spend an hour driving when you can talk to your friends instead?However, like most experienced parents, I’m not worried about this. After a few years of taking buses and having to depend on his friends for rides, my son has finally seen the convenience (便利) of a license.34.What can we learn from the study in Paragraph 4?A.Driving is less attractive to young people.B.Americans prefer to get their licenses later.C.Driving education is unsuccessful in the US.D.Young people are becoming more road-wise.35.Which of the following is NOT a reason why teens refuse to have licenses?A.They are short of money to buy even an old car.B.Gas prices prevent them considering buying cars.C.They can take taxis by using apps like Uber or Lyft.D.They can talk to friends while taking driving lessons.36.Why does the writer’s son change his mind?A.He is refused by his friends.B.He can make enough money.C.He finds it necessary to have a license.D.He thinks it is very hard to take buses.EWhen you buy fresh-cut flowers, do you think about where they came from? You might think they were grown somewhere nearby. In fact, the cut flower trade is more and more international. Today, thanks to airplanes and high-tech cooling systems, even the most delicate (脆弱的) flower can be exported, and sold in a flower shop thousands of kilometres away from where it was grown.The Netherlands (荷兰) controls the world cut flower trade. It deals with 60 percent of the world’s cut flowers. And its auction (拍卖)houses are very large indeed---Aalsmeer, near Amsterdam, is the largest flower market in the world. About 120 soccer fields would fill its main building. Nineteen million flowers are sold here every day, including roses, lilies, and of course, tulips.The Netherlands is also a world leader in developing new flower types. Dutch (荷兰的) companies and the government invest (投资) a large amount of money in flower research. Their scientists look for ways to lengthen a flower’s vase life, to strengthenflowers to prevent them from being damaged while traveling, and also to strengthen the natural pleasant smell of the flowers.Although Netherlands plays a lead role in the flower market, there are many places with a better climate for growing flowers, and the climate of Ecuador (厄瓜多尔) is almost perfect. Mauricio Davalos is the man who starts Ecuador’s flower industry. “Our biggest edge is nature,” he says. “Our roses are the best in the world.” With predictable rainy periods and 12 hours of sunlight each day, E cuador’s roses are known for their large heads and long, straight stems. Every year, Ecuador sells about 500 million flowers to the U.S. alone. The industry has brought work chances and a stronger economy to areas of the country. “My family has TV now. The re are radios,” says Yolanda Quishpe, 20, who picked roses for four years.To others, the increasingly international flower trade is very bad news. In recent years, local growers in the U.S. faced huge competition from international flower companies, and many lost their business. Lina Hale, an independent rose grower in California, said her father had foreseen the situation in the 1980s. “I see a freight (货运) train coming down the track,” he warned her, “and it’s coming straight towards us.”37.What is the main idea of the first paragraph?A.Fresh-cut flowers can’t survive a long trip.B.You should buy flowers from local flower shops.C.Flowers you buy may come from faraway places.D.It’s important to think about where you buy your flowers.38.Which of the following is mentioned as large investors in flower research?A.Dutch companies and the government.B.Airplane and high-tech cooling system.C.American companies and their government.D.Ecuador’s local flower growers and pickers.39.The word edge in Paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to .A. endB. differenceC. cornerD. advantage40.What did Lina Hale’s father mean when he said, “I see a freight (货运) traincoming down the track”?A.He thought customers wouldn’t want roses.B.He knew that his business would be influenced.C.He could actually see a train coming towards him.D.He thought his track would be crashed by the freight train.四、填空（共 15 小题；每小题 1 分，满分 15 分）A）根据括号中所给的汉语或音标写出单词，并将答案填写在答卷纸的相应位置上。

I thought．Slowly，I swam to the side of the river and got out．I saw that I was near a big old wooden house．Suddenly a lot of very angry dogs jumped out at me．They made a terrible noise and someone called from the house，"Who's there？""George Jackson，" I answered quickly．"I've fallen off a river boat．"Well，the people who lived in that house were very kind，and they took me in and gave me some new clothes and a good meal．I told them that my family were all dead，so they said I could stay with them as long as I wanted．It was a beautiful house and the food was good there，so I stayed．A few days later one of the slaves in the house came to me and said，"Come with me!" Together，we went down to some trees by the river．"In there!" he said and went away．On the ground，I found a man，asleep．It was Jim!

threatening words on QQ may bring you problems40.This passage mainly wants to tell us that ______ ．A. we shouldn't break the US law if we study at a university in the USB. students and singers

many people always have negative（消极的）thoughts．Being in a negative space is harmful to our life and study．If you keep them in mind，you will lose hope sooner or later．Let's drive away some of the most common negative thoughts．No one cares about me．Sometimes you say that your family and friends don't care about you．Maybe you'rebeing too negative and misunderstand the gestures of love they show you．They don't even have to be big gestures，but there are many countless little things they do foryou．Maybe you just pay no attention to them and take them as granted．Perhaps you think they don't care about you so you don't make any effort in your relationships．Start showing people you care，so they can show you back in the same way．And if you don't have good relationships with the people you

Yes, pleaseB. No, thanksC. Nothing muchD. Help yourselfAnswer: BExplanation: In this dialogue, the question “Would you like to have another cup of coffee?” is a polite way of asking if the listener wants more coffee. The response “I’ve had enough” indicates that the listener does not want any more coffee. Therefore, the appropriate and polite reply would be “No, thanks,”which declines the offer while expressing gratitude. Option A would be incorrect as it accepts the offer, and options C and D do not directly address the question being asked.3、By the time I got to the cinema, the movie__________(begin) already.Answer: had begunExplanation: This sentence requires the past perfect tense because it describes an action that was com pleted before another action in the past. ‘Had begun’ shows that the movie started and finished before the speaker arrived at the cinema.4、Not only__________she__________(sing) beautifully, but she also plays the piano very well.Answer: does, singExplanation:In sentences beginning with ‘not only,’ the structure is inverted after the comma. Since ‘but she also plays the piano very well’ is in the present simple tense, we use ‘does sing’ to maintain consistency and emphasize her ability to sing beautifully.5.I have never seen such a beautiful__________before. (填空)A. paintingB. paintingsC. paintedD. painting’sAnswer: AExplanation: The correct answer is “painting” because it is the singular form of the noun “painting” used after the indefinite article “such a.” The other options are not grammatically correct in this context.6.If you__________(be) more careful, you wouldn’t have made so many mistakes. (填空)A. areB. wereC. beD. beingAnswer: BExplanation: The correct answer is “were” because the sentence is in the conditional perfect tense, which is used to express a past possibility that did not happen. The structure is “if + past perfect, would have + past participle.” Therefore, “were” is the correct form of the verb to be in the past perfect.7、Every____(visit) to the ancient city is a magical experience for tourists from all over the world.Answer: visit解析：句意为：“每次参观古都都给世界各地的游客带来了一段神奇的体验。

I thought．Slowly，I swam to the side of the river and got out．I saw that I was near a big old wooden house．Suddenly a lot of very angry dogs jumped out at me．They made a terrible noise and someone called from the house，"Who's there？""George Jackson，" I answered quickly．"I've fallen off a river boat．"Well，the people who lived in that house were very kind，and they took me in and gave me some new clothes and a good meal．I told them that my family were all dead，so they said I could stay with them as long as I wanted．It was a beautiful house and the food was good there，so I stayed．A few days later one of the slaves in the house came to me and said，"Come with me!"

many people always have negative（消极的）thoughts．Being in a negative space is harmful to our life and study．If you keep them in mind，you will lose hope sooner or later．Let's drive away some of the most common negative thoughts．No one cares about me．Sometimes you say that your family and friends don't care about you．Maybe you'rebeing too negative and misunderstand the gestures of love they show you．They don't even have to be big gestures，but there are many countless little things they do foryou．Maybe you just pay no attention to them and take them as granted．Perhaps you think they don't care about you so you don't make any effort in your relationships．Start showing people you care，so they can show you back in the same way．And if you don't have good relationships with the people you know，what's stopping you from making new friends？Why is she better offComparing yourself to someone else is never positive．There's always going to besomeone who is younger，prettier，smarter，or richer than you．If you keep admiring what someone else has，then this may cause you to lose the balance in your mind，which will open a whole other negative can of worms．Remember，what they don't have is your

考查it的用法，it此处作形式宾语，后面的动词不定式to forget the history 作真宾语．故选A．我发现忘记历史是不可能的，因为它深深地震撼了我．考查it 的用法，其中it作形式宾语与形式主语更是中考重点知识．4.【答案】B【解析】答案：B．考查名词词义辨析．句意：我喜欢娱乐节目．我希望有一天我能参加其中一个，回答所有的问题并赢取大奖!chat shows访谈节目；game shows娱乐节目；cartoons卡通片；documentaries纪录片．根据题干I hope one day I can takepart in one of them，answer all the questions and win a big prize!我希望有一天我能参加其中一个，回答所有的问题并赢取大奖!可知应说我喜欢娱乐节目．故选B．我喜欢娱乐节目．我希望有一天我能参加其中一个，回答所有的问题并赢取大奖!理解各个选项的含义，根据具体内容作答．5.【答案】B【解析】答案：B．根据But nobody knows if it this weekend，可知这里if引导一个宾语从句，主句是一般现在时，从句可以用所需要的时态，从this weekend判断应该用一般将来时，构成will+动词原形．故选B．--如果不下雨，这个周末去远足怎么样？--我很高兴．但是没人知道这个周末会不会下雨．做这道题时要仔细阅读题中条件，并从选项中选出最合适的选项．6.【答案】D【解析】答案：D．考查情态动词．A不得不．B可能．C需要．D必须、一定．结合语境"一个勤奋的人可能不会成为一个伟大的科学家，但是一个伟大的科学家__非常努力．"．可知，应该是"必须"．选D．一个勤奋的人可能不会成为一个伟大的科学家，但是一个伟大的科学家必须非常努力．情态动词无人称和数的变化；不能单独使用，必须与其后的动词原形构成谓语．否定形式通常在后面加not．要注意情态动词的不同用法．7.【答案】C【解析】答案：C．这里have，make和let后面跟动词原形，而get sb to do sth，后面跟to引导的不定式形式．故选C．-你今天怎么这么累？-因为我父母让我做很多练习，所以我不得不熬夜．考查动词词义辨析，熟练掌握固定搭配是答题关键．8.【答案】C【解析】答案：C根据题意：女人经常抱怨，虽然她有一份收入不错的工作和一个和谐的家庭．结合选项，A．因此B．因为C．虽然D．自从，选项C符合题意，故选C．女人经常抱怨，虽然她有一份收入不错的工作和一个和谐的家庭．熟悉从属连词的基本用法，结合题意，给出答案．9.【答案】B【解析】答案：B 根据"to solve the problem"可知目的是解决问题．a way是一种办法，可知我们是要想出一种办法去达到这个目的，故应选"想出"．catch up with追赶上；come up with想出；put off推迟；set off出发，点燃．故选B．我们相信我们可以想出一种办法去解决未来的污染问题．本题考察的是动词短语的意思辨析．只有熟练掌握他们的意思才能准确选出正确答案．off短语常考的还有turn off关闭；take off脱下，起飞．10.【答案】A【解析】答案：A．结合前后可知这里是表达感觉不能再糟糕了，故用比较级，这里用bad的比较级worse，故答案是A．--上周你的面试怎样？---我感觉不能再糟糕了．我几乎不能回答他们问的大部分问题．最基本句型"主语+be（is，am，are）+形容词比较级+than+比较对象"，than后接人称代词时可以是主格或者是宾格．Than前后比较对象必须是同一范畴，即同类事物时间的比较． She is a little more outgoing than me/I．她性格比我外向点．11.【答案】A【解析】答案：A，考查不定副词跟形容词连用，无论是不定代词还是不定副词，跟形容词连用，形容词后置，又relax加ing修饰物，加ed修饰人，此处为地方，修饰物，因此用relaxing．又句子回答为肯定句，因此用somewhere，由此可知答案为A-你想去哪里度假？-我想去一些令人放松的地方．区别易混淆词组用法是解答关键．12.【答案】B【解析】答案：B．根据great progress you've made!可知这里考查了感叹句，本句的中心词是progress，它是一个不可数名词，great是一个形容词，在这里修饰progress，根据What+形容词+可数名词复数/不可数名词+主语+谓语!故选B．你取得了多么大的进步！你的父母一定为你感到骄傲．本题考查了感叹句的用法．解答时需注意感叹句的基本结构：What+a/an+形容词+可数名词单数+主语+谓语!What+形容词+可数名词复数/不可数名词+主语+谓语!How+形容词/副词+主语+谓语!13.【答案】A【解析】答案：A根据该句为含有as soon as引导的时间状语从句的复合句，根据句中的主句为一般将来时态，结合"主将从现"原则可知该句的主句为一般将来时态，故从句为一般现在时态表将来，又知从句的主语your work 是谓语动词finish的承受者，二者形成被动关系，故确定为被动语态，故从句的谓语动词确定为一般现在时态的被动语态，其结构为is/am/are+及物动词的过去分词，根据主语your work是单数，故be动词为is，finish的过去分词为finished，故填入isfinished，故选A．亲爱的，尽快完成你的工作．你的工作一结束我们就去看电影．被动语态表示主语是动作的承受者，被动语态由"be动词+及物动词的过去分词"构成，be动词的单复数要与主语的单复数保持一致，还要注意时态及过去分词的变法．14.【答案】D【解析】答案：D．know后加宾语从句，引导词+陈述句语序，结合下文By underground，可知上文用how作为引导词，故选D．---今晚将会有演唱会，但是我不知道怎样去．---乘坐地铁，时间花费较少．本题旨在考查宾语从句这一语法，做这类题时，要从三方面考虑：一、选准连接词二、连接词后紧跟从句的主语三、若主句是过去时，从句要改为相对应的过去时．15.【答案】A【解析】答案：A 分析句子，结合选项，推测意思是杰克，你看起来精神很好．猜猜是为了什么？我们以3：0赢了这场足球赛．故选A猜猜是为了什么？B那又怎么样？C难怪，D不要紧．杰克，你看起来精神很好．猜猜是为了什么？我们以3：0赢了这场足球赛．解答这类试题时，务必充分理解上下文的语境和前后文的逻辑关系，找到解题的依据，同时正确区分选项的细微差别，准确作答．16.【答案】【小题1】A 【小题2】D 【小题3】C

Everyone knows that climate change is a serious problem these days. People have a lot of work to do in order to prevent it. One of the best ways is to plant more trees.According to a study by NASA, the Earth’s green leaf area has increased by 5 percent, or over 5 million square kilometers since 2000. China is responsible for 25 percent of the increase. That’s about one square of t he size of the whole Amazon rainforest.Over the past twenty years, China has made great efforts to green the land in order to fight soil erosion (水土流失) and air pollution. It is one of the most successful countries in greening the desert.For example since 1962, China had been planting trees in Saihanba in Hebei province. It was once a barren(贫瘠) area. After overcoming many difficulties, foresters have turned the area into China’s largest man-made forest. Anotherexample is the Kubuqi Desert, which is near the Y ellow River in Inner Mongolia. It was once the source(来源) of sandstorms in Beijing. But now, about one third of the Kubuqi Desert is covered with trees, and sandstorms are less common. Mu Us Desert was also known for its sandstorms many years ago. But now, one-quarter of the desert has been turned into forest.In a word, planting trees is really important to us. Let’s take part in planting trees to make our earth greener and more beautiful.1．The reason why China makes great efforts to green the land is to _____A．prevent climate change B．plant more treesC．reduce water pollution D．stop the soil from being washed away2．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A．China succeeds in greening the desertB．Planting tree is the best way to prevent the climate changeC．The green leaf area of China has increased by 0.25 million square kilometers since 2000.D．Mu Us Desert cause the sandstorms in Beijing3．It is _______ for foresters to turn Saihanba into the forestA．dangerous B．exciting C．difficult D．impossibleB14、I heard the following curious story from a railway acquaintance (相识的人). He was a gentleman of more than seventy years of age, and his good face and sincere manner put the stamp of truth on everything he said.“You know, in Siam the royal white elephant is very important. It is sacred to kings, and only kings can have a white elephant. And white elephants are more important than the king.”Very well…five years ago…After a misunderstanding between the countries, the King of Siam decides to send the Queen of England a present. This present must be a royal one. And what present can be as royal as a white elephant? It is my job to deliver the present to her Majesty the Queen. I travel with my servants, and the officers and helpers of the elephant, in a ship. Soon we arrive in New York harbour and I find a place for my royal elephant to stay in Jersey City. The elephant is not well and we must stay in New York until the doctors say he is better and can travel again._________________________________. I get a phone call in the middle of the night: the white elephant is stone! For some moments I feel helpless. Then I become calmer. There is only one thing I can do. I hurry to New York City and ask the first policeman that I meet to bring me to the headquarters (总部) of the police force. I am fortunate. The chief of the force, the well-known Inspector Blunt, is there. I tell him everything. He does not seem at all surprised. He asks meto sit down and says calmly, “Let me think for a moment, please.”Then he sits down at his office table and leans his head on his hand. Some people are working at the other end of the room. For the next six or seven minutes the only sound I can hear is the sound of their pens. The inspector sits quietly, thinking. Finally he raises his head, and I can see from his face that he has a plan.--- From The Stolen White Elephant1．Why does the King of Siam decide to send a present to the Queen of England?A．Because he wants to fight against England.B．Because he wants to show he is friendly.C．Because the Queen’s birthday is coming.D．Because there is a misunderstanding between them.2．What does the phrase put the stamp of truth on everything he said mean?A．His words are just jokes.

Some scientists say that self-driving or driverless cars（无人驾驶汽车）may hit the road within 15 years, and it ispossible that driving may become unnecessary, or more relaxing and enjoyable.Companies like Google, Baidu, Apple and Alibaba are working on driverless cars. But, if the tests are successful, these electric self-driving cars could be put into use very soon. This kind of cars may change the way we live in the future. All you have to do is typing in your address!According to Baidu, the driverless technology has the following four advantages. Firstly, driverless cars are actually safer. In China, there are mom than 500 deaths caused by accidents. With driverless cars, the number will decrease by 100 times. Secondly, driverless cars are more efficient(有效的）than manned cars. Thirdly, driverless cars follow the traffic rules. Therefore, traffic controlling will be easier. At last, the cost of transportation will be reduced as the labor cost becomes less.There are many different technologies needed to make a successful self-driving car. The most difficult technologies of all, environmental perception（感知）,behavior prediction, planning control, HD mapping, and exact GPS. 1．According to some scientists, driverless cars may make driving become _____________.A．necessary B．difficult C．boring D．enjoyable2．The third paragraph mainly talks about the ___________ of driverless cars.A．instructions B．standards C．advantages D．theories3．What can we learn from the passage?A．Driverless cars may not follow the traffic rules.B．The technologies for driverless cars haven't yet well developed.C．The communication between the car and a man is perfect.D．Driverless cars will have more accidents than man-controlled cats.E17、Today, I want to tell you some stories from my life. The first story is about connecting the dots(小圆点). Reed College, the college I attended, offered perhaps the best calligraphy(书法) lessons in the country. Calligraphy was attractive to me, so I decided to take a calligraphy class to learn how to do this. I didn’t hope for any real use of this in my life. It was just a hobby. But ten years, when we were designing the first Macintosh computer, it all came back to me.You might be very confused about the meaning of what you are doing now. But you have to believe the dots will somehow connect in the future. Every effort you make is worth the price. It will pay off in the end. This belief has never let me down, and it has made all the differences in my life.My second story is about love and loss. Woz and I started Apple in a garage when I was 20. But later, I got fired(解雇). How can you get fired from a company you started? Well, it just happened. What had been the focus of my entire adult life was gone, and it was so hard for me.But it turned out to be the best thing that could have ever happened to me. It freed me to enter one of the most creative periods of my life.I’m pretty sure if I hadn’t been fired from Apple, I wouldn’t become who I am now. The loss completed me. Sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick. Don’t lose faith. What’s more, you have to find out what you love. The only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you ha ven’t found it yet, keep looking.

To many scientists, it does.When studying animal populations, it is of great importance to scientists to know how many animals there are and how old they are. This information can help scientists learn which animals are thriving and which ones need more care and help. Scientists usually use the following ways to tell animals’ age.For many animals, their teeth can help scientists know their age. In some animals, some teeth don’t come in until a certain age. Take cows for example. Like humans, cows have two sets of teeth, milk teeth and permanent teeth. They normally get their first pair of permanent teeth when they’re two years old. Then they have the next pair at the age of three, the third pair at the age of four…Hair and skin can also provide information about age. Some animals tend to get bad skin and gray hair as they get older. If you have an older dog, you may have noticed that its nose and mouth get grayer as it gets older.Animals’ eyes and ears might also help scientists tell animals’ age.

Through railways, people move and communicate more, which is important for the development of a country. Indonesia’s first railway was built in 1867. It was the second Asian country ever had railways. However, with the development of society and population growth, the railways in Indonesia couldn’t meetpeople’s needs. The country needed new railways!It’s worth celebrating that China has helped Indonesia build a high-speed railway! It is the first high-speed railway in the country, as well as in Southeast Asia. The high-speed railway between Jakarta and Bandung is about 142 km long. The railway is the first overseas high-speed railway project that fully uses Chinese technology and standards.The train can carry about 600 people. There is one first-class car, six second-class cars and one dining car. It can run at a top speed of 350 km/h. Thanks to the high-speed railway, it takes much less time to travel between Jakarta and Bandung. “It used to take about 3 hours to travel between Jakarta and Bandung, but the time is now about 40 minutes by taking the new train,” says someone from Bandung. The railway brings a lot of benefits to people along the way. For example, it provides lots of jobs during its building. It also helps with the business along the way.High-speed railways meet people’s need to move between different places. More countries, especially Southeast Asian countries, may build their high-speed railways with Chinese products, after seeing the Jakarta-Bandung high-speed railway. The railway is proof that Chinese technology for high-speed railways has won international acceptance. 33．Which is TRUE about the high-speed train from Jakarta to Bandung?A．It has 8 cars in total.B．It is about 142 km long.C．It can carry about 6000 people.D．It can run at a top speed of 350 miles per hour.34．Which are the benefits brought by the high-speed railway?①providing jobs during its building ①improving Indonesia’s technology overseas①helping with the business on the way ①saving about 140 minutes during the journeyA．①①①B．①①①C．①①①D．①①①35．According to the last paragraph, what can we infer?A．High-speed railways are the most important for a country’s development.B．Indonesia didn’t have railways to let people move between different places.C．Chinese technology for high-speed railways only won acceptance from Southeast Asian.D．More Southeast Asian countries may build high-speed railways with Chinesetechnology.36．Which is most probably the title of the passage?A．Benefits of Building RailwaysB．Jakarta-Bandung High-speed RailwayC．The Friendship between China and IndonesiaD．Quick Developments in Chinese TechnologyDopamine, known as the “source of pleasure”, is a chemical that is released in the brain and provides people with a feeling of reward and motivation. Now, China’s young people are seeking to wear that joyfulness on their bodies, giving rise to the fashion craze — “dopamine dressing style”. Mainly characterized by bright colours, this dressing style is described by many Chinese netizens as “healing” and “a mood booster (调压器)”. It is part-fashion, part-mindfulness.Dopamine dressing is nothing new. In fact, a study published in 2012 found that when participants (参与者) were asked to wear clothing that held some symbolic meaning, their perceived (感知的) confidence increased. The study determined that clothing can have a direct influence on their psychological (心理的) process.“When we are confident, we are able to exert influence through our confidence alone.” behavioral psychologist Carolyn Mair explained. “When we feel good, we are likely to be perceived as looking good too, as our posture, voice and other nonverbal aspects will be more positive.”Another 2015 study found that the outfits we wear can directly influence how we think. It suggested that dressing in a certain way can influence the way we make decisions. “What we wear is how we show ourselves to those we interact with — we are influenced by their reaction to it. If we are well received, it boosts our confidence and can ultimately affect our general health and happiness,” Mair added.In fact, dopamine dressing is different for everyone. It’s about wearing the clothes that make you feel good. It could be joggers and a sport shirt; it could be your favourite pair of jeans; or it could be that dress you were saving for a special occasion. For some, bright colours are what boost their mood.Colour psychologist Karen Haller said, “Colour is a great way to lift our spirits and boost. our moods in an instant. Our confidence can be boosted when we wear colours that we love and feel good in. We instinctively feel and behave differently around colours because ofhow we take the colours in through our eyes and through the part of our brain where our emotions reside.”Ultimately, dopamine dressing is whatever makes you feel good. The most important thing is to have fun with it.37．According to Para. 1, which is NOT one of the features of “dopamine dressing style”?A．It is described as “healing”.B．It can help to improve people’s moods.C．The clothes are mainly in dark colours.D．The style is not only fashionable but also joyful.38．What can we know from the studies published in 2012 and 2015?A．All the clothes have their symbolic meanings.B．The right clothes can change the way we think and feel.C．Participants are confident when asked about the clothes they are wearing.D．How we make decisions is one of the elements affecting the outfits we choose to wear. 39．Why does the writer quote (引用) the words of Carolyn Mair and Karen Haller?A．To stress the importance of wearing fashionable clothes.B．To show that many people are fans of the new dressing style.C．To explain how the dopamine dressing style may influence people’s moods.D．To display how popular the dopamine dressing style is among different groups of people.40．What is most probably the writer’s opinion about dopamine dressing?A．Dopamine dressing is the style that helps us make decisions.B．Dopamine dressing is to wear any clothes that make you feel good.C．Dopamine dressing is the style that heals you with its fashionable design.D．Dopamine dressing is about choosing colourful clothes to make you look special.四、单词拼写五、选词填空Recently, a special kind of dance called “Subject Three” has become popular in Taiwan.

The Ancient Art of the BrushThroughout its long history, writing has been a big deal in China. Since the earliest dynasties the skills of reading and writing have been highly respected. In fact, they form an important part of the Chinese art world. Calligraphy, the art of writing with a brush. is almost as old as writing itself And though this art form dates back thousands of years, it is still extremely popular today.How did writing become so important in Chinese culture? The answer most likely lies way back in the Shang Dynasty (about 1600-1046 BC) That's when characters were first carved in bronze and used in religious events. This practice conveyed a spiritual aspect which gave writing authority in the eyes of ordinary people.Calligraphy spread during the Han Dynasty when the necessary tools and materials became more widely available. First there was the brush, made from bamboo and animal hair Early ink, or lampblack, was made by burning pine wood and mixing it with water. Early forms of paper were invented around AD 105. Finally, there was inkstone, a smooth piece of stone used for mixing ink. Together, these tools were known as the “four treasures of study” in ancient China Calligraphy has been popular in China for thousands of years. Some say that it's an ever higher art form than painting. Though foreigners may not always get it, there's something truly special about calligraphy. Every written character has a strict stroke order When viewing the results, you can trace the artist's process, reliving every stroke of his or her brush, This allows for an intimate connection between artist and audienceCalligraphy is something that's best experienced by doing. Luckily, this ancient art is still widely practiced today, So, what are you waiting for? Get out there and find yourself a teacher!江苏省南京玄武区2021-2022学年九年级上学期期末英语试卷五、任务型阅读（每空一个单词）“Don’t judge a book by its cover,” the old saying goes. Unluckily, as a teenager, that is often exactly what you do to yourself. Dark thoughts about your physical appearance can hang over you all the time like a rain cloud. Do I look fat in these jeans? Do others think I am too short? These thoughts can have a negative(消极的) influence on people of any shape or size, both male and female, and it is important to guard against the causes behind them.Standards of beauty in the media can have a big influence on what you think of your physical appearance. Teens who try to copy the looks of their favourite stars are fighting a losing battle—these standards are simply impossible for most of the population to live up to. They will only end up feeling worse about themselves.Your friends also influence the way you view your physical appearance. If you have friends who are good-looking or have a great fashion sense, it can feel like you are living in their shadow. For children of digital age, social media makes this problem even worse. Your friends may post a “never ending” series of photos online to show off their beautiful dresses or strong bodies，and it becomes easier for you to "compare yourself to them. This has proved to have a negative effect on what you think of your physical appearance.These external influences are always present, but there are certainly ways to deal with them. First of all, be careful not to follow popular beauty standards blindly. They are out of reach for 99% of us, so it is better to just forget about them.Another tip is to remind yourself that you are unique(独一无二的). Keep in mind that your family and friends love you just the way you are. Talk about your feelings with someone you trust. Focusing on your strength also helps you build your confidence. Everyone has their own talents—you may be good at painting or playing the piano, so take pride in things you do well instead of worrying about things you cannot change.You may often judge yourself by what is on the outside, not on the inside. However, like a book, your contents are much more important than your cover. If you can learn to see the good things about yourself—your individually, your value to others, your achievements—you will soon begin to love yourself just the way you are.Never judge a book by its cover江苏省南京玄武区2020-2021学年九年级上学期期末英语试卷五、任务型阅读阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容，在文章后第56-65 小题的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。
