高二英语5月月考试题有答案
高二英语5月月考试题有答案CNext Hot Language to Study: ChineseThe fourth-graders at Chicago’s McCormick Primary School are unaware of the difficulty in learning Chinese. For most, who speak Spanish at home, it’s becoming their third language. They’ve been learning and using Chinese words since kindergarten, and it’s now second nature to give a hearty “ni hao” when strangers enter the classroom.The classroom scene at McCormick is unusual, but it may soon be a common fixture(固定物) in American schools, where Chinese is rapidly becoming the hot new language. Government officials have long wanted more focus on security—useful languages like Chinese, and pressure from them—as well as from business leaders, politicians, and parents—has driven a quick growth in the number of programs.Chicago itself is home to the largest effort to include Chinese in US public schools. The program here has grown to include 3,000 students in 20 schools, with more schools on a waiting list. Programs have also spread to places like Houston, Los Angeles, New York City, and North Carolina. It’s true that the number of students learning Chinese is tiny compared with how many study Spanish or French.Advocates see knowledge of the Chinese language and culture as a help in a global economy where China is growing in importance. “This is an interesting way to begin to engage with the world’s next superpower,” says Michael Levine, director of education at the Asia Society, which has started five new public high schools that offer Chinese. “Globalization has alreadychanged the arrangements in terms of how children today are going to need to think about their careers… The question is, when not whether, the schools are going to adjust.”In Chicago, the trend extends beyond schools with high numbers of Asian students. “The fact that my students are 98% low income and 99% Latino(拉丁美洲人) and they are succeeding in this, tells me everyone should have a try at learning languages,” says Virgi nia Rivera, principal at McCormick. “We want to give our young people opportunities to advance… and Chinese is a great opportunity to survive in today’s economy,” says Richard M. Daley, Mayor of Chicago.28. The underlined word “Advocates” in the text prob ably means” .A. SupportersB. ObjectorsC. TeachersD. Learners29. How many languages are mentioned in this passage?A. Six.B. Two.C. Three.D. Four.30. In the last paragraph, the underlined word “this ”probably refers to _____.A. the competition between Latino and Asian studentsB. the global economyC. the interesting way to engage with ChinaD. the Chinese learning31. What CANNOT be learned from this passage?A. Most students at McCormick can speak three languages.B. Chinese is gaining its popularity in all schools in Chicago.C. French has far more speakers than Chinese does in Chicago.D. Globalization in a way makes it necessary to learn Chinese.32. Which of the following is mainly about in this passage?A. The Chinese learning in Chicago.B. The ways to learn Chinese.C. McCormick Primary School.D. Globalization and Chinese learning.DWorried about how many calories you will get in that piece of pizza, chocolate cake or bag of chips? A new iPhone application (应用程序) MealSnap may help. Users just need to take a picture of the meal with the phone, and it will give a calorie read-out almost immediately.MealSnap was developed by DailyBurn, a health social network that focuses on helping its users lead healthier lifestyles. It has created several other health and diet-related iPhone applications. The application gives users a quick reply. To do that, it matches the taken picture to a databank (数据库) with the calorie information of nearly 500,000 kinds of food. Users then get the range of calories for the meal that is photographed.We started with something simple—an apple. A couple of minutes later, the application replied that it was an apple and between 64 and 96 calories. More impressive was the reply we received after sending a photo of a mixed salad bowl. MealSnap replied that the bowl contained “yellow rice with corn, boiled eggs and beans” and that the food was between 532 and 789 calories.Mr. Smith, director of DailyBurn, said that usual calorie counting needed a long time, but that the application made it easier to know the calories in food. That is why it is so popular among those who are trying hard to lose weight.In addition, MealSnap can act as a food diary. No need to write down what they’ve eaten, the photoes will be stored. The users can keep a visual log (视觉的记录). Mr. Smith said, “it’slike a food journey, but easier. All you do is to take the picture. The simple act of recording something can cause a psychological (心理的) change that can help people on their health journey. Knowin g the calorie range makes me think more about what I’m eating.”33. The purpose of DailyBurn is to________.A. help people find ways to lose weightB. make iPhone more popularC. persuade people to buy iPhone productsD. help people have a healthy life34. What can be learned from the third paragraph?A. MealSnap is only useful for simple things.B. The result of MealSnap isn’t always right.C. MealSnap can also tell what the food is.D. MealSnap needs a long time to show the calorie range.35. Which of the following statements about MealSnap is TRUE?A. It has been put into the market.B. People will have a physical change by using it.C. It’s popular because it was developed by DailyBurn.D. People have to link iPhone with the Internet to use it.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

I have to admit that when I first heard that Paul Salopek was going to walk the entire globe on his own two feet, I was blown away. I couldn’t imagine that there could be such an unusual person in the world.Last May, I met Paul. He told me that it was his first time in China. He talked to me with great excitement about the history, migrations, and discoveries in my region of China. He spoke of the Shu-Yandu Dao (the Southern Silk Road), the travels of the 17th-century Chinese explorer Xu Xiake, the Tea Horse Road and the early 20th-century American botanist Joseph Rock. He also talked of Xuanzang. Paul considered many of them heroes and in a sense Chinese pioneers of slow journalism.I decided to accompany Paul on his walk toward Yunnan. On September 28, 2021, we set out. Our days were simple: walk, eat, sleep, and repeat. We woke up at sunrise, set off in high spirits, and rested at sunset, dragging ourselves into exhausted sleep.We met many people on the road. Some were curious, surrounding us and watching us; some gave us directions; some invited us into their home to take a rest; some spoke of the charm of their hometown. We met many beautiful souls, simple souls and warm souls. We were walking with our minds.Together, we were impressed by the biodiversity of the Gaoligong Mountains. As I walked on ancient paths through mountains, I seemed to hear the antique voices of past travelers urging me to be careful on the road.Looking back on the more than 200 miles I walked with Paul, I came to a realization. Walking for its own sake, while healthy and admirable, is only a small part of the benefit of moving with our feet. A deeper reward is rediscovering the world around us, shortening the distance between each other, and sharing each other’s cultures.4. How did the writer first respond to Paul’s travel plan?A. Scared.B. Puzzled.C. Disappointed.D. Surprised5. What can we learn about Paul Salopek from paragraph 2?A. He was a western journalist.B. He had a knowledge of China.C. He came to China several times.D. He was Joseph Rock’s acquaintance.6. What does paragraph 4 tell us about the writer and Paul?A. They honored the ancestors.B. They set off in high spirits.C. They satisfied the locals’ curiosity.D. They built bonds with people.7. What is the main purpose of the writer’s writing the text?A. To share and reflect on a journey.B. To suggest a new way of travel.C. To advocate protection of biodiversity.D. To introduce and promote Chinese culture.CIntegrity is the quality of being honest and strong about what you believe to be right. The concept of integrity has played a key role in moral philosophy throughout history and is promoted in all societies because of its importance to social relations. Individual integrity is vital to society, one that enables people to make use of their capacity for critical reflection, docs not force peopleto take up particular roles and docs not encourage individuals to betray（背叛）each other. Besides, societies can be favorable to the development of individual integrity.Individual integrity can lift up the spirits of the entire society. It can shape the lives of people living in a particular society, the lives of all fellow people and, in its broadest sense, even the destiny（命运）of a nation. By contrast, if those living in the society are corrupt, it could have bad effects, jeopardizing the healthy morality of the society.On the other hand, a society can be favorable to the development of individual integrity. Society expects and requires integrity. A society consisting of people of integrity, and people who never compromise on their principles, could have a positive mark on the personal development on its members. Being a part of such a morally lively community could serve as a basis for absorbing traits of good character. This could be of a distinct advantage to any individuals in the society.Nonetheless, some social structures are of the wrong sort for some individuals to pursue integrity. If that is the case, we have to ask questions about the moral nature of society first before raising questions about individual integrity. Questions about integrity may turn out to be about what kind of society it is, rather than about the relationship between individual interests and characteristics of a society. The pursuit of adequate individual integrity often depends, not so much on understanding who one is and what one believes and is committed to, but rather understanding what one’s society is and imagining what it could be.Under no circumstances can we underestimate the importance of human integrity in a society. People, who are honest, trustworthy, compassionate and caring, are the factors decisive in the growth of individuals as well as the development of a society.8. Individual integrity has been valued in society because______.A. it helps develop philosophyB. it is crucial to social relationsC. it is the basis of critical thinkingD. it ensures people’s particular roles9. The underlined word “jeopardizing” in Paragraph 2 probably means “______”.A. dominatingB. decidingC. dividingD. destroying10. What does the author believe according to the passage?A. Individual integrity relies on what one has faith in.B. The pursuit of individual integrity changes with time.C. The nature of society is decided by economic development.D. Social structures guide the formation of individual integrity.11. Which of the following shows the development of ideas in the passage?A. B. C. D. CP: Central Point P: Point Sp: Sub-point C: ConclusionDDeath is a serious theme worthy of great poets. For example, John Keats’ When I Have FearsThat I May Cease to Be and John Donne’s Death, Be Not Proud both discuss death in reflective ways. However, the imagery in these poems shows that while Keats believed death can only bring destruction. Donne believed death can be overcome.Keats was afraid of death, because to him death meant the loss of those things that made his life worth living: “…on the shore / Of the wide world I stand alone, and think / Till love and fame to nothingness do sink.” In other words, Keats’ fear was that death was a “nothingness” that would arrive before he could finish his life’s work or find his true love.Donne had a different attitude toward death, and so the imagery in his poem is different, too. To Donne, death should “be not proud” because it was not “mighty and dreadful”. He also said that death was like “rest and sleep”. Donne believed that we would all wake from the sleep of death to everlasting life, just as we wake from our normal sleep to our everyday lives.Keats and Donne both knew that death was a part of life, and both poets used powerful imagery to talk about that difficult theme. The differences in this imagery show two very different attitudes toward the subject, one of which is much more positive than the other. Which poet to believe is up to the reader to decide.Not surprisingly, the readers’ own experiences may play a part in the way they respond to these poets’ approaches. Like the two poets and their beliefs, contemporary readers also may be divided on the subject. This may explain why Keats’ and Donne’s poetry remains fascinating years after their deaths.12. Which of the following may Keats agree with?A. Death could stop him from writing poetry.B. Death could help him find true love.C. Death was not mighty and dreadful.D. Death could be overcome by people.13. What did Donne believe in his poems?A. Death was generally powerful and terrible.B. Death was only a ceaseless sleep.C. Death was merely the loss of work and love.D. Death was hardly worth the fear.14. Why may contemporary readers view the serious subject of Keats and Donne differently?A. Because they are attracted to the two poets’ everlasting opposite beliefs.B. Because they are divided naturally by their positive or negative personalities.C. Because their own life experiences affect the understandings of the poems.D. Because their preferences for the poets’ strong imageries are various.15. Which of the following best describes the main writing style of the passage?A. Listing.B. Argument.C. Comparison.D. Reasoning.第二节阅读填空（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）从短文后的七个选项中选出正确的选项填入空白处。

But that night when my dad tried to cheer me up, my laugh turnedinto crying.So it came as no surprise to learn that researchers believe crying and laughing come from the same part of the brain. Just as laughing has many healthadvantages, scientists are discovering that so, too, does crying.Whatever it takes for us to reduce pressure is important to our emotional(情感的)health,and crying seems to study found that 85 percent of women and 73 percent of menreport feeling better after crying.Besides, tears attract help from other people. Researchers agreethat when we cry, people around us become kinder and friendly and they are moreready to provide support and comfort. Tears also enable us to understand ouremotions better; sometimes we don’t even know we’re very sad until we cry. Welearn about our emotions through crying, and then we can deal with them.Just as crying can be healthy, not crying---holding back tears of anger, pain or suffering---can be bad for physical(身体的)health, studies have shown thattoo much control of emotions can lead to high blood pressure, heart problems and some other illnesses. If you have a health problem, tors will certainly not ask you to cry. But when you feel like crying, don’t fight it. It’s anatural---and healthy---emotional response(反应).56.

To be human is to think. But thinking may come naturally without yourknowing how you do it. Thinking about thinking is the key to critical(判断性的)thinking. When you thinkcritically, you take control of your thinking processes (过程). Otherwise,you might becontrolled by the ideas of others. Indeed, critical thinking is at the heart ofeducation.The word 〝critical〞 here has a special meaning. It does not mean taking one view against another view, as when someone criticizes another person fordoing something wrong. The nature of critical thinking is thinking beyond theeasily seen---beyond the pictures on TV, the untrue reports in the newspapers,and the faulty reasoning.Critical thinking is an attitude as much as an activity. If you are curious about life and desire to dig deeper into it, you are a critical thinker. If you find pleasure in deep thinking about different ideas, characters, and facts, you are a critical thinker.Activities of the mind and higher-order reasoning are processes of deep and careful consideration. They take time, and do not go hand in hand with thefast speed in today’s world: fast foods, instant coffee, andself-developingfilm. If you are among the people who believe that speed is a measure ofintelligence(智力), you maylearn something new from a story about Albert Einstein. The first time Banesh Hoffman, a scientist, was to discuss his work with Albert Einstein, Hoffman was too nervous to speak. But Einstein immediately put Hoffman at easeby saying, 〝Please go slowly. I don’t understand things quickly.〞64. Critical thinking is important to usbecause if we do not think critically, .A.it will be hard for us to thinknaturally and fastB.we might be controlled by otherpeople’s ideasC.we will follow the ideas ofothers naturallyD.we might be fooled by otherpeople’s ideas65. If you are a critical thinker, you will.A.think deeply about differentideas B.trust the reports in the newspapersC. take one viewagainst another view D.criticize other people for their mistakes66. In the last paragraph, 〝something new〞suggests that .A.the smarter you are, the fasteryou do thingsB.the faster you do things, thesmarter you becomeC.speed can improve intelligenceD.intelligence is not decided byspeed67. What would be the best title for thepassage?A. Thinking and Critical ThinkingB.Understanding Critical ThinkingC. Thinking Is Natural and HumanD.Thinking Fast Means IntelligenceDDiscoverNewsmagazine of science devoted to thewonders and stories of modern science, written for the educated general reader.Published(出版)by DisneyMagazine Publishing Co, Discover tells many of the same stories professionals(专业人员)read inScientific American.

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)A four-year-old girl is lying in the arms of a doctor. She has just become motherless. Her pink clothes are bloodied and her eyes stare at something only she can see. She has suffered from a bombing near her home in southern Iraq.Every day we see images like this on our televisions. We see young Iraqi children begging for food and water from American and British soldiers as they move through towns and cities towards the capital, Baghdad. We see these children following grown-ups, carrying bags of belongings almost the same size as their small bodies as they flee their homes in Baghdad.They represent just some of the young lives that have been turned upside down by the ongoing war. And they show the terrible price being paid by Iraqi children.“Dad, why are the Americans striking us? Are we going to be killed?” asks the son of Abu Sinar, an Iraqi engineer. Abu finds it hard to explain this war to his eight-year-old son.He tries to comfort him by saying: “The bombs are far away from us. The American s are fighting the soldiers. We’re going to be all right.” Even though Abu knows this isn’t always the truth.In southern parts of the country, like Iraq’s second largest city, Basra, the United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund is working to repair the damage caused by fighting. The organization is working to provide clean water and restore electrical power, saidGeoffrey Keele, a UNICEF spokesman.But little else can be done. In Baghdad, parents give their children sleeping pills to try and let them escape the sound of exploding bombs. And all the schools are closed.“All they can do is listen to and hear the war,” said Keele. “There is suffering in Baghdad. It is clear that the bombing is affecting the mental well-being of the children.”Des pite UNICEF’s efforts, dirty water is being blamed for cholera outbreaks in southern Iraq. Diarrhea is spreading among the children, sometimes leading to death.Nearly 50 percent of Iraq’s population is under 15 years old. And 30 percent of them already suffered before the war from malnutrition, according to international aid organizations.Now the situation is worse, but continual fighting makes it impossible to count the number who are hungry, sick, injured or even dead.65．The underlined word diarrhea” in the last paragraph but two must be _______A. a kind of horrendous foodB. a kind of infectious diseaseC. a new toyD. a piece of terrible news66. Parents give their children sleeping pills _________.A. to get rid of the terrible sound of exploding bombsB. to help children to go to sleep because they are very tiredC. in case their children should be frightened by the sound of exploding bombsD. so that their children would not have their hearing harmed67. What is the writer’s attitude toward s Iraqi people in this article?A. The writer loves only the children of Iraq.B. The writer wants to know more about how many people will go hungry or even die.C.The writer shows sympathy for Iraqi people.D. The writer will help Iraqi people to get over any difficulty(B)Creativity is the key to a brighter future, say education and business experts. Here is how schools and parents can encourage this important skill in children.If Dick Drew had listened to his boss in 1925, we might not have a product that we now think of as of great importance: a new type of tape. Drew worked for the Minnesota Mining company. At work he developed a kind of material strong enough to hold things together. But his boss told him not to think more about the idea. Finally, using his own time, Drew improved the tape, which now is used everywhere by many people. And his former company learned from its mistake. Now it encourages people to spend 15 percent of their work time just thinking about and developing new ideas.Creativity is not something one is just born with, nor is it necessarily a character of high intelligence. The fact that a person highly intelligent does not mean that he uses it creatively. Creativity is the matter of using the resources one has to produce new ideas that are good for something. Unfortunately, schools have not tried to encourage creativity. With strong attention to test results and the development of reading, writing and mathematical skills, many educatorsgive up creativity for correct answers. The result is that children can give back information but can not recognize ways to use it in new situations. They may know the rules correctly, but they are unable to use them to work out practical problems.It is important to give children choices. From the earliest age, children should be allowed to make decisions and understand their results. Even if it’s choosing between tw o food items for lunch, decision-making helps thinking skills. As children grow older, parents should let their children decide how to use their time or spend their money, but not help them too much if they make the wrong decision. The child may have a hard time, but that is all right. This is because the most important character of creative people is a very strong desire to find a way out of trouble.68. What did the company where Drew once worked learn from its mistake?A.They encouraged people to work a longer time.B.They discouraged people from thinking freely.C.They asked people to spend all their work time developing new ideas.D.They encouraged people to spend some of their work time considering and improvingnew ideas.69．Creativity is something __________.A.that people are born withB.that depends on intelligenceC.that is a way of using what one has learned to work out new problemsD.that is not important at all70. What should the parents do when their children decide how to spend their money?A.Try to help them as much as possible.B.Take no notice of whatever they do.C.Help them if their decision is wrong but not too much.D.Leave them as they are.71. This passage mainly deals with the question of __________.A.what is the key to a brighter futureB.what creativity isC.how schools and parents can encourage creativity in childrenD.whether schools and parents should allow children to make choices and decisions(C)Without proper planning, tourism can cause problems. For example, too many tourists can crowd public places that are also enjoyed by the inhabitants of a country. If tourists create too much traffic, the inhabitants become annoyed and unhappy. They begin to dislike tourists and to treat them impolitely. They forget how much tourism can help the country and how tourism affects them. Tourism should help a country keep the customs and beauty that attract tourists. Tourism should also advance the well-being (health and happiness) of local inhabitants.Too much tourism can be a problem. If tourism grows too quickly, people must leave other jobs to work in the tourism industry. This means that other parts of the country’s economy can suffer.On the other hand, if there is not enough tourism, people can lose jobs. Businesses can also lose money. It costs a great deal of money to build large hotels, airports, air terminals, first-class roads, and other support facilities needed by tourist attractions. For example, a major international-class tourism hotel can cost as much as 50 thousand dollars per room to build. If this room is not used most of the time, the owners of the hotel lose money.Building a hotel is just a beginning. There must be many support facilities as well, including roads to get to the hotel, electricity, sewers (阴沟) to handle waste, and water. All of these support facilities cost money. If they are not used because there are not enough tourists, jobs and money are lost.72.Which of the following has most probably been discussed in the paragraph that goesbefore the passage?A.It is extremely important to develop tourism.B.Building roads and hotels is essential.C.Support facilities are highly necessary.D.Planning is of great importance to tourism.73.Too much tourism can cause all these problems EXCEPT ___________.A. a bad impact on other industriesB. a change of tourists’ customsC.overcrowdedness of places of interestD.pressure on traffic74. It is good for local people to be well aware that tourism will __________.e up a large amount of waterB.weaken their economyC.help establish their traditionsD.help improve their life75. The word handle in the last paragraph most probably means “__________”.A. carry awayB. pick upC. get inD. take down(D)Olaf Stapledon wrote a book called First and Last Men, in which he looked millions of years ahead. He told of different men and of strange civilizations , broken up by long ‘dark ages’ in between. In his view, what is called the present time is no more than a moment in human history and we are just the First Men. In 2,000 million years from now there will be the Eighteenth or Last Men.However, most of our ideas about the future are really very short-sighted . Perhaps we can see some possibilities for the next fifty years. But the next hundred ? The next thousand? The next million ? That’s much more difficult.When men and women lived by hunting 50,000 years ago, how could they even begin to picture modern life? Yet to men of 50,000 years from now, we may seem as primitive in our ideas as the Stone-Age hunters do to us. Perhaps they will spend their days gollocking to make new spundels, or struggling with their ballalators through the cribe. These words, which I have just made up, have to stand for things and ideas that we simply can’t think of.So why bother even to try imagining life far in the future? Here are two reasons. First, unless we remember how short our own lives are compared with the whole human history, we are likely to think our own interests are much more important than they really are. If we make the earth a poor place to live on because we are careless or greedy or quarrelsome, our grandchildren will not bother to think of excuses for us.Second, by trying to escape from present interests and imagine life far in the future, we may arrive at quite fresh ideas that we can use ourselves. For example, if we imagine that in the future men may give up farming, we can think of trying it now. So set your imagination free when you think about the future.76. A particular mention m ade of Stapledon’s book in the opening paragraph _______.A.serves as a description of human historyB.serves as an introduction to the discussionC.shows a disagreement of viewsD.shows the popularity of the book77. The text discusses men and women 50,000 years ago and 50,000 years from now in order toshow that _______.A.human history is extremely longB.life has changed a great dealC.it is useless to plan for the next 50 yearsD.it is difficult to tell what will happen in the future78. Spundels and ballalators are used in the text to refer to ______.A.tools used in farmingB.ideas about modern lifeC.unknown things in the futureD.hunting skills in the Stone Age79. According to the writer of the text, imagining the future will _____.A.serve the interests of the present and future generationsB.enable us to better understand human historyC.help us to improve farmingD.make life worth living(E)给下面的文章配上小标题；80. ________ Crime has its own cycles, a magazine reported some years ago. Police records that were studied for five years from over 2,400 cities and towns show a surprisinglink between changes in the season and crime patterns.81. _______The pattern of crime has varied very little over a long period of years. Murderreaches its high during July and August, and so do other violent attacks. Murder, moreover, is more than seasonal: it is a weekend crime. It is also a nighttime crime: 62 percent of murders are committed between 6 p.m. and 6 a.m.82. ________Unlike the summer high in crimes of bodily harm, burglary(盗窃) has adifferent cycle. You are most likely to be robbed between 6 p.m. and 2 a.m. on a Saturday night in December, January, or February. The most uncriminal month of all? May -- except for one strange statistic. More dog bites are reported in this month than in any other month of the year.83. ________ Apparently our intellectual seasonal cycles are completely different from ourcriminal tendencies. Professor Huntington, of the Foundation for the Study of Cycles, made extensive studies to discover the seasons when people read serious books, attend scientific meetings and make the highest scores on examinations. In all instances, he founda spring peak and an autumn peak separated by a summer low. On the other hand,Professor Huntington's studies indicated that June is the peak month for suicides(自杀) and admissions to mental hospitals. June is also a peak month for marriages!84. _________ Possibly, high temperature and high humidity(湿度) bring on our strangeand terrifying summer actions, but police officials are not sure. "There is, of course, no proof of a connection between humidity and murder," they say, "Why murder’s high time should come in the summertime we really don't know."A.Patter of murderB.Intellectual seasonal cyclesC.Cycle of crimeD.Possible explanationsE.Other patters of crimeF.Ways to avoid crime第二卷（共45分）I.Translations1．他有可能来参加下周举行的晚会吗？( chance )2．正是由于他未能在恰当的时候澄清这一误会他该受到责备。

安徽省皖东县中联盟2023-2024学年高二下学期5月月考英语试题一、阅读理解Four Best National Parks in the USGreat Smoky Mountains National Park, North Carolina and TennesseeGreat Smoky Mountains National Park is the country’s most-visited national park. Crossing North Carolina and Tennessee, this park is known for its wildlife, waterfalls and fog-covered mountains. It’s worth visiting year-round for scenic views and outdoor activities like hiking, but the park really shines in autumn, when its trees put on a display of red, orange and gold leaves.Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming, Montana and IdahoThe world’s first national park, Yellowstone National Park was established in 1872, and in 2020, it recorded 3.8 million visits. Throughout its 2.2 million acres (英亩), visitors can find a range of unique attractions, including Mammoth Hot Springs, Old Faithful Geyser and Grand Prismatic Spring, as well as waterfalls, lakes and wildlife.Zion National Park, UtahUtah is home to some of the country’s best national parks, including Arches, Bryce Canyon and Canyonlands, but Utah’s first and most popular national park is Zion National Park. Visitors can enjoy hiking, climbing, biking and birding here.Rocky Mountain National Park, ColoradoCovering 415 mountainous square miles, Rocky Mountain National Park is the fourth most-visited. Here, visitors can spot a variety of wildlife from a safe distance, and explore the park’s many hiking trails. Rocky Mountain National Park also has a number of scenic drives for visitors who want to see the park’s forests, wildflower-covered grasslands, and more without leaving their cars.1．When is the best time to admire leaves in Great Smoky Mountains National Park?A．Spring.B．Summer.C．Autumn.D．Winter.2．Which of the following is the world’s first national park?A．Zion National Park.B．Yellowstone National Park.C．Rocky Mountain National Park.D．Great Smoky Mountains National Park. 3．Where is Canyonlands National Park?A．In Utah.B．In Tennessee.C．In Wyoming.D．In Colorado.Deanna Stellato-Dudek retired in 2001 because of injuries. But this week, she achieved the unthinkable. With her partner Maxime Deschamps, the 40-year-old former retiree defeated athletes less than half her age and became the oldest woman to win a World Figure Skating Championship. Even more remarkable, she did it in the pairs event, in which the top women are thrown across the ice, lifted over their partners’ heads with one arm, and tossed(抛)more than 10 feet in the air.Stellato-Dudek had an impressive junior career as a singles skater, winning the 1999 — 2000 International Junior Grand Prix Final and receiving the silver me dal at the 2000 World Junior Championships.However, by 2001, a few significant injuries led to her decision to retire at age 17. For the next 16 years, Stellato-Dudek lived a relatively normal adulthood. She became a successful aesthetician(美学家)and got married. She was no longer attempting risky triple(转体三周的)jumps on international ice.But the feelings of unfinished business kept disturbing her — whether she had quit the sport too early and whether she had more to achieve in skating. So she tried on her old skates and attempted the impossible — learning how to become a pairs skater in her 30s and returning to competitive ice.Her efforts paid off, and now Stellato-Dudek and her partner are unlikely world champions at ages 40 and 32. Stellato-Dudek said she hoped the historic victory inspired everyone, even non-skaters, who might think it was too late to pursue and achieve their goals. “I hope it encourages people not to stop before they reach their potential,” she told reporters after winning the title Thursday night.Stellato-Dudek is not done. Her next major goal is to compete in the 2026 Winter Olympics at age 42.”She is a fighter,” her partner said. “For her, it’s the Olympics every day.”4．What do we know about Stellato-Dudek from paragraph 1?A．She entered the competition alone.B．She was younger than her competitors.C．She won the championship in pairs skating.D．She returned to skating because she lost her job.5．What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us about Stellato-Dudek?A．Her career plans.B．Her past achievements.C．The challenges she met.D．The training she went through.6．What did Stellato-Dudek do after her retirement?A．She got married.B．She worked as a coach.C．She threw away her old skates.D．She kept trying risky triple jumps. 7．Which word can best describe Stellato-Dudek?A．Wise.B．Kind-hearted.C．Humorous.D．Determined.Scientists flew over more than 200 landfills across 18 states from 2018 to 2022, claiming it to be the largest measurement-based survey of America’s landfills. Their results revealed that average methane emissions (排放) were much higher than those officially reported, according to a new study published in the journal Science.Methane — an invisible gas with over 80 times more warming power than CO2 in the near term — is produced by various sources, the biggest of which are oil, gas and agriculture. Landfills tend to be a less well-known methane source, but they also have a huge impact, estimated at around 20% of global human-caused methane emissions. Landfills produce methane when organic wastes such as foods, paper and wood decompose without oxygen, creating the perfect environment for methane-producing bacteria.Most landfills in the US are required to measure methane emissions four times a year through walking surveys using handheld sensors. However, those types of measurements are really not designed to do anything about emissions, but rather just detect methane “hotspots”, as people tend to avoid areas that are unsafe to walk through, and where garbage is actively being dumped.The results of the new study show current reporting systems, such as the EnvironmentalProtection Agency’s Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program (GHGRP), are missing large methane sources. Average methane emission rates from landfills were 1.4 times higher than those being reported to the GHGRP. The study also found landfill methane emissions were generally much more persistent (挥发慢的) than those from oil and gas production, with 60% lasting for multiple months or even years.The rapid reduction of methane is one of the most effective ways to slow climate change because of its powerful short-term planet-heating impact. Yet most methane policies in the US target the oil and gas industry. “If we’re going to hit our climate targets, reductions in methane emissions can’t come from oil and gas alone,” said Daniel Cusworth, lead author of the report. 8．What can be learned about methane from paragraph 2?A．It is a colored gas.B．It is mostly produced in landfills.C．It has less warming power than CO2.D．It can be produced from a variety of sources.9．Why does the author mention “hotspots” in paragraph 3?A．To show walking surveys are not necessarily reliable.B．To discuss advantages and disadvantages of handheld sensors.C．To stress the value of measuring methane emissions in landfills.D．To explain what workers at most landfills do in the United States.10．Which statement will Daniel Cusworth probably agree with?A．It is impossible to slow climate change in the short term.B．Methane emissions from landfills should be taken seriously.C．Little impact is made by methane emissions from the oil industry.D．The US government should not limit the development of agriculture.11．Where is the text most probably taken from?A．A review of modern landfills.B．A guidebook to cooking food.C．An introduction to a gas industry.D．An article on environmental protection.Theo works on weekdays and weekends and at nights. It never complains despite performing hour upon hour of what, for a regular farm hand, would be backbreaking laborchecking Dutch tulip (郁金香) fields for sick flowers.The boxy robot — named after a retired employee at the WAM Pennings farm near the Dutch North Sea coast — is a new high-tech weapon in the battle to root out disease from the tulip fields.On a windy spring morning, the robot moved slowly along rows of yellow and red tulips, checking each plant and, when necessary, killing diseased bulbs (球茎) to prevent the spread of the tulip-breaking virus. The dead bulbs are removed from healthy ones in a sorting warehouse after they have been harvested.The virus stunts growth and development of plants, leading to smaller and weaker flowers. It also weakens the bulbs themselves, eventually leaving them unable to flower. As part of efforts to tackle the virus, there are 45 robots working in the tulip fields across the Netherlands as the weather warms up and farmers approach peak season when their bulbs bloom (开花) into giant patchworks of color that draws tourists from around the world.The robot is a lot slower than a sports car, rolling through fields at one kilometer per hour (0.6 mph) hunting out the infected flowers. It has cameras in the front, and it takes thousands of pictures of the tulips. Then it will determine if the tulip is sick or not by its AI (artificial intelligence) model. The robot has learned to recognize this and to treat it.“In the past, this was work carried out by human ‘sickness spotters’,” said Allan Visser, a third-generation tulip farmer. “I could also buy a very nice sports car for the price of the robot. But I prefer to have the robot because a sports car doesn’t take out the sick tulips from our field. It is expensive, but there are fewer and fewer people who can really see the sick tulips.”12．What is mainly described in paragraph 3?A．The spread of the virus in tulips.B．Farmers working at the warehouse.C．The scene where the robot Theo works.D．Robots that help patients fight diseases.13．What does the underlined word “stunts” in paragraph 4 probably mean?A．Prevents.B．Sees.C．Predicts.D．Promotes.14．What is Allan Visser’s attitude toward the robot Theo?A．Doubtful.B．Positive.C．Unconcerned.D．Unclear.15．What is the best title for the text?A．How to Plant and Care for TulipsB．Artificial Intelligence Is Developing RapidlyC．Al Robots Help Find Sick Tulips in NetherlandsD．Types of Robots and Industry Applications of Robotics TechnologyRemind yourself that no friend is better than a bad friend. If you’re unsure whether your friend is really a true friend or not, the following tips can help you.Spend some time with your friend. If your friend makes the time, that’s a good sign.16 , just as long as your friend makes time to get together when it’s appropriate, such as on a weekend and during vacation time. If your friend doesn’t want to make the time or comes up with a lot of excuses every time you try, then you will have a warning sign that he or she is not interested in being around you much.17 . If your friend does come, is he or she being friendly with you or is he or she ignoring you, just eating the cake and leaving early? Since you are the host or the center of attention when it’s at your place, a good friend should be spending time talking to you and being friendly. 18 .Think about how you feel when you talk around your friend. A true friend is someone who won’t judge you. You don’t have to be careful about what you say when you’re around the right person. 19 . Anything less is not true friendship.Consider what happens when you’re in need. 20 . And you will lose the false friends when you experience hardships and difficulties. In fact, those fair-weather friends are not worth your time or effort.A．A trustworthy friend won’t lie to youB．A good friend is someone willing to share your sadnessC．Sometimes your friend may be really busy and that’s fineD．Invite your friend to a party or special occasion at your placeE．A true friend is someone who gives you the freedom to be yourselfF．Observe how your friend is when he or she doesn’t notice you’re aroundG．But a bad friend will only use the occasion to get what he or she wants out of it二、完形填空One weekend, Molly McCollum and her four friends wandered off their campus.

ASu Hua is studying at Cambridge, UK. She has bought a bicycle and is worried about security. Her friend, Kate, found this article and sent it to her.IntroductionA lot of crime is against bicycles. About 150,000 bicycles are stolen every year and most are never found. You can prevent this happening by following a few careful steps.Basic SecurityDo not leave your bicycle in out of the way places. Always lock your bicycle when you leave. Secure it to lampposts or trees. Take off smaller parts and take them with you, for example lights and saddles(车座)．LocksGet a good lock. There are many different types in the shops.

It can also help the police find your bicycle. It should be clearly written and include your postcode and your house or flat number. This will provide a simple way to identify your bicycle.RegistrationThere are a number of security companies who will help mark your bicycle for you. They will then put your registration number and personal details on their computer database. Then if your bicycle is found it will be easy to coritact you.FinallyKeep a record of the bicycle yourself: its mark，model and registration number. You can even take a photograph of it. This will prove the bicycle belongs to you.21．Which part of the text gives you information on how to lock up your bicycle when you leave it?A．Locks. B．Marking. C．Registration.

They have to show that they will be able to pay for each year of study. Students have to consider not only the tuition, the cost of classes, but also meals and a place to live in, which is known as roomandboard. They also need money for books and supplies. And they need money to spend on social activities and other things.Educational advisers say foreign students should have enough money in a local bank to pay for at least two months of expenditure. So how much will a year at an American school cost? Generally speaking, the answer is: a lot. A leading state university in the Pacific Northwest will serve as an example. The University of Washington says foreign students are paying more than $36,000 this year. This major research university currently has 2,600 foreign students from more than one hundred countries. There are many schools that cost less, but also others that cost more. Its website says the University of Washington does not offer financial assistance to international students. This is generally true of American schools, especially at the undergraduate level.The international application for the university includes a Statement of Financial Responsibility that must be signed. Students must also provide a bank letter or statement from within the past six months. And they have to name someone who will help with payments. These people must send proof from a bank to show that they have the money. Your government or employer may be able to help you pay all or some of the college costs. A good idea is to ask at least eighteen months before you want to start classes in the United States.Our Foreign Student Services, including links to websites discussed in our reports, can be found at www. unsv. com.

That's the opinion of a local expert in the field of family relationships.Wendy Harfield from Interrelate, the organization which focuses on relationships, said the issue of antisocial and violent behavior among youths was a complex one.“There is no single reason why some kids get involved in unacceptable behavior but it seems that it is becoming a major issue not just in places like Bellingen but everywhere，”Ms. Harfield said.“The most important part of the problem is the issue of selfesteem(自尊). Sometimes parents don't have a strong selfimage or good selfesteem themselves, so it is hard for them to pass good selfesteem on to their children.”Ms. Harfield said it was important that children learnt to develop good relationships with themselves, their family, their friends and their community at an early age. “Parents need to look at themselves as personal trainers, and as we allknow trainers get the best results when they start young，”she said, “It is no good waiting until a child is 12 or 13 to start training them to become a good person. You need to start when they are very young and be very consistent with them.”“Teaching and training children to be good people is an important part of being a parent. But just as there are a lot of pressures on kids these days, there are also a lot of pressures on parents and families.”“Children should develop better relationships with everyone in their life before they become teens，”she said，“But for parents the message must be, don't try to be friends to your children. As they go through school they will have the chance to have lots of friends，but they won't be able to have any other parents.”“You need to set the limits of acceptable behavior early and stick to them.”28．The underlined words “louts and delinquents”in Paragraph 1 may refer to children__________.A．who are very lazy B．who behave badly C．who are selfishD．who depend on themselves29．According to Ms. Harfield, children with unacceptable behavior__________.A．suffer from a lot of pressures from societyB．usually don't get on well with their parentsC．have low confidence in their own abilitiesD．grow into good people when they are 12 or 1330．Why are parents advised not to be friends to their children?A．Because children need parents more than they need friends.B．Because children may have friends later in their life.C．Because parents can't treat their children as true friends.D．Because children don't always believe in their parents.31．What would be the best title for the passage?A．Being a friend to your childrenB．Tough love is the keyC．Examples speak louder than wordsD．It is never too late to train children to be goodDThe Roman Empire was so big that there were a lot of different people with different cultures living in it, so you can't really say there was one way of living in the Roman Empire.People of minority races or cultures would probably feel lucky to have lived under the Roman Empire. There were people of so many different cultures travelling around the empire interacting with each other that there had been in general a lot of tolerance for other cultures. On the other hand, this contact did also cause tensions,which sometimes broke into violent killings of minority groups.People were forced into slavery in every corner of the Roman Empire, but the way slaves were treated depended on where you were and also on when. Big farms were usually worked by slave field hands. But other slaves were house servants, like nurses, cooks, and boys who took care of the horses and they were generally better treated. A lot of slaves also worked for the Roman government, or for private businesses, as managers，or running a shop，or in small factories.All over the Roman Empire, many boys in cities seem to have gone to school, but most girls had to stay at home. Out in the countryside，probably hardly anyone could read or write. Very few people went to college，but those that did often travelled far from home，to Athens or Alexandria in Egypt, for a good education.Partly at school, and partly through their families or just playing ball games outside, kids all over the Roman Empire did have lots of friends. Girls and boys from rich families, however, were not allowed to get romantic together. Most marriages among the upper classes were arranged by the parents，but case was probably different for the poor.32．What life was like for people of minority races in the Roman Empire?A．Life for them was too hard to bear.B．They couldn't communicate with people of other cultures.C．They were forced to give up their own culture.D．Life for them was comfortable in a way.33．Of the following kinds of slaves，which group maybe badly treated?A．House servants.
