They call this their “Qomolangma selfie”. To get it, more than a few people have risked everything and tragically, many have died during the climb, with their precious images still locked in their cameras.But as a professional climber who’s spent the past. two decades pursuing summits(顶峰) all over the world, I had refused the idea of an expedition(探险) to Mount Qomolangma. The mountain seemed to represent the opposite of everything that I loved and respected about climbing.The first mountain I attempted to climb was just a 500-foot cliff. I, together with a friend managed to make our way a couple hundred feet up the nearly vertical(垂直) wall to the. safety of a small ledge. Sitting side by side, we watched the sun dip toward the horizon, amazed by what we had done and wondered how we were going to get down. The thrill of doing something most people wouldn’t consider, the discovery of the view at the top and the bond my friend and I shared all came to define the meaning of what I have been seeking in the mountain s ever since.I would have never changed my mind, were it not for an old friend and his devotion to one of mountaineering’s greatest mysteries—whether Mallory, a legendary British climber, might have reached the top in 1924—nearly 30 years before Edmund Hillary and Tensing Norgay. The camera he likely carried had never been found. That’s how I found myself searching for a long-lost climber and, just maybe, history’s first highest point selfie.My expedition didn’t find the camera, but it did cause me to reconsider Mount Qomolangma. As I packed for Xizang, I expected that our state-of-the-art equipment and bottled oxygen would make the climb manageable, perhaps easy. Actually, when the top photo was taken,I was more exhausted than I’d ever been on any expedition. Along the way, I continuously tipped my hat, not just to Mallory, but to anyone who had the drive to push themselves up this route. 4．What are most climbers’ understanding of “Oomolangma selfie”?A．It comes at a big cost.B．It shows their respect for nature.C．It is inspired by passion.D．It brings a sense of achievement.5．Why did the author mention his first climbing experience?A．To stress the difficulty in climbing the cliff.B．To explain his focus on mountain climbing.C．To express his thoughts on “Oomolangma selfie”.D．To meet his desire to climb Mount Qomolangma.6．Which word can best describe the author’s expedition to Mount Qomolangma?A．Respectable.B．Challenging.C．Enjoyable.D．Charming. 7．What does the author seem to convey in the text?A．Not all expeditions are worth the effort.B．The meaning of climbing varies greatly.C．Perseverance lies behind “Qomolangma selfie”.D．Think twice before climbing Mount Qomolangma.I think it all started with microwaves. A typical microwave can cook an entire chicken in 16minutes. That’s 3 times faster than the best convection oven (对流烤箱). We still stand in front of microwaves, impatiently tapping our feet, waiting for popcorn to pop.Modern consumer technology and the Internet have only amplified that convenience impatience. We have emails that literally travel around the world in seconds, and yet we still ask the recipient: Did you get it? Where is it? It should be there. A file that takes more than 10 seconds to download is considered a crime.And we’re suddenly faced with a digital queue. The system can’t serve us all at once and asks us to wait. But waiting is a chain in our DNA that is breaking up. This leads to the toe tapping, fingers pianoing on the desk, pen chewing, and eventually hair-pulling as if the thought of waiting a few minutes will drive us mad.Millennials and Gen Z are products of an instant-response childhood. They’ve long lived ina world where their every thought is met with instant response in texts and social media. In real life, these same people have no idea how to wait for a response. The assumption (设想) is that real world works exactly the same as digital. But the system in a company or government doesn’t move at anything near digital speed. In fact, it often moves as slowly as it did in the pre-Internet age. There’s a disconnect between these waits and most of our lives lived through technology.We are biology living in a digital space, enjoying the benefits of instant answers and access, but unable to change our own programming to match its speed. Operating at digital and Internet speed is a great benefit, but we forget that somewhere in the instant access path is often a comparatively slow-moving and slow-thinking human, who can only do so much, and only at a certain pace.When people say slow down, take a breath, they usually mean that you should step back from a busy moment. But this should also include stepping back from your instant-access existence to see that not everything can happen right away. Most of the time, it just doesn’t need to.8．What does the underlined word “amplified” in paragraph 2 mean?A．Balanced.B．Worsened.C．Maintained.D．Weakened. 9．What is people’s reaction towards a digital queue?A．They lose patience to wait.B．They get embarrassed.C．They enjoy waiting to be served.D．They consider it as normal.10．What do we know about Millennials and Gen Z?A．They are lacking in social experience.B．They desire for immediate responses.C．They are deeply influenced by the social media.D．They have a good understanding of the real word.11．What can be concluded from the text?A．Accept things happen at their own pace.B．Go for instant response at any time.C．Make sure everything happens right away.D．Step back to see what has happened.Over the years, many scientists have attempted to explain why spending time in green spaces can reduce feelings of stress and anxiety, from their supposed ability to clean the air to theirmysterious effects on our brains.The most common saying I tend to hear is that plants, particularly houseplants, clean the air. The latest research now suggests that in indoor spaces you would need a lot of them before you see any noticeable benefit. How many? Well, several hundred per square meter of living space to achieve the same benefit of simply opening a window.What we do know, however, is that there is something unusual about the color green that seems to affect how our brains function. Researchers investigating the effect of exercise on psychological well-being have found that seeing views of the natural world on screens had additional benefits over and above the workout alone. However, when they changed the screens to show the same views in black and white or in shades of red, the effect was markedly reduced compared to the original green. This may mean that having evergreen species in your garden or even something as simple as painting your fence green might contribute to its effect.Similarly, designing your garden to require higher maintenance (维护) so that it is not simply somewhere to sunbathe in summer may improve the beneficial effect by encouraging gentle workouts. Low-impact, prolonged exercise, such as gardening, can burn more calories (卡路里) than a hard-hitting gym session, despite feeling easier. It is a way of being active that may appeal to far more people.Gardening is also a classic form of practicing mindfulness, which can help to focus our thoughts on the here and now, distracting us from any worries or stresses. Mindfulness exercises are well-documented to have a positive impact on psychological well-being. So act now, embrace (接受) the power of greenery and turn your garden into a welcoming space.12．Which factor determines houseplants’ effect on cleaning the air?A．Their quantity.B．Their colors.C．Their varieties.D．Their placement.13．What is a benefit of seeing the color green during exercise?A．Promoting sports technique.B．Burning more calories.C．Increasing intelligence level.D．Improving mental health.14．What contributes to the popularity of gardening?A．It is accessible and effective.B．It is affordable and appealing.C．It requires higher maintenance.D．It offers a connection with nature.15．Why is gardening a form of mindfulness?A．It helps develop a sense of success.B．It frees us from our daily matters.C．It directs our attention to the present.D．It encourages learning and creativity.Creativity is the skill of thinking up new and different ideas and solutions. 16 It comes out in the way we do all sorts of-things, such as solving riddles, playing games or dreaming up new ideas.Neuroscientists describe creativity as the brain’s way of coming up with an idea that is original, new or different. Some people make art, music or paintings. 17 You can be creative in anything you enjoy, such as baking, inventing games or playing with numbers. “The best thing about creativity is that there’s no right or wrong way to do it — it’s about finding ways to have fun,” says Rakhee Jasani, a writer who helps people discover their creativity.18 It can relieve stress, give you energy and help you feel calm. “It’s like taking a deep breath when we’re feeling stressed,”Jasani explains. “Doing something creative that we enjoy is sometimes just for ourselves — it helps us to express how we’re feeling so that we feel stronger and prouder. ”Exercising can make your body strong. 19 Think of a time when you’ve solved a problem, finished a jigsaw puzzle — this is your creative brain at work.Neuroscientists say that being creative means your brain has to mix up different “mental representations” in order to come up with something new or different. Mental representations are the images your mind creates — like when you dream of flying or imagine yourself travelling somewhere you’ve never actually been. We can all be creative in our own way. You can’t be bad at it. 20A．Every single one of us has a creative. side.B．But that’s not the only way to be creative.C．Similarly, being creative helps to exercise your brain.D．You can make use of creativity to achieve your goals.E．Creativity has lots of benefits for your brain, body and mind.F．It’s just about exploring things and sharing them with others.G．Creativity is the way you use your imagination to express yourself.二、完形填空What can you see if you walk around the Rahway Trail in the South Mountain Reservation of Millburn?

Small houses are 23 in the tree trunks and branches — a surprisingly sweet 24 in an otherwise normal-looking forest.The fairy homes were built by volunteers.

Only about 600 of his violins are believed to still exist. They were regarded as the rarest and best instruments in the world.Roman’s Stradivarius was his musical partner for 38 years. Then bad luck struck; the violin was stolen from his office after a concert while he greeted well-wishers. He was shocked and upset by its loss. “Yes, it’s a bit like losing your arm,” he told his daughter, Jill.It took Roman a year to find and buy a new violin as the size and tones (音质) of each were different from his. He had to learn his musical pieces all over again! Roman kept playing into his 90s and taught at Boston University until he died in 2012, aged 101.His daughter says, “We wondered from time to time if the violin would surface, but... Our mother and father taught us to keep moving forward and not think over what life throws at you.”In 2015, the wife of the man who stole the violin wanted to know if it was really a Stradivarius. She had looked after him when he was dying from cancer and now it belonged to her. She took it to master violin maker and dealer Phillip Injeia. He recognized it immediately and contacted the FBI. Jill, who received the call from FBI, said in an i nterview, “I said, ‘I have to call my sisters. I’ll tell them not to get their hopes up,’ but Phillip Injeian said, ‘You don’t have to do that.

Deforestation is not only threatening the millions of unique plant and animal species native to the Amazon River area, it’s affecting humans worldwide. W hen it comes to the protection of the Amazon, it’s hard for many people to relate because they don’t feel connected to the area. There are actually a lot of direct connections, no matter how far away we are.A connection that affects everyone on the planet is climate (气候) change. Planting new trees in the forest is basically a way of removing CO2 from the air. Rain forests have a carbon (碳) reduction nearly equal to half of what is in the air. About half of that is in the Amazon. Another case in point is a big snake called the bushmaster that lives in the Amazon. Today, millions of people use medicines made from its venom (毒液) to treat high blood pressure. So they have longer, fuller, and more productive lives.In the 1960s, there was only one highway in the entire Amazon. That’s an area as large as the continental United States with one highway and three million people. Today, there are between 30 million to 40 million people, countless roads, and about 20 percent forests have been cut down. But on the plus side, 50 years ago there were only two national parks and a national forest and a reserve in Brazil. Today, more than 50 percent of the Amazon is under some form of protection. “There’s been a lot of damage done and forest lost, but nothing is gone until it’s gone”, noted National Geographic explorer Dr. Thomas Lovejoy. “We want to see more shared planning between the departments of transportation, energy, agriculture, and the other industries in the area. We think Amazon cities can have higher quality of l ife and keep people in existing cities so there’s less reason to deforest.”8. Which can replace the underlined word “Deforestation” in paragraph 1?A．Planting more trees. B．Destroying the forests.C．Protecting the species. D．Polluting the rivers.9. What might the partial loss of the Amazon rainforest lead to?A．The increase of extreme weather. B．The removal of CO 2 .C．More people with high blood pressure. D．The overgrowth of the bushmaster.10. How does paragraph 3 mainly develop?A．By making comparisons. B．By listing reasons.C．By explaining a definition. D．By making a summary.11. What is Dr. Thomas’ attitude towards the future of the Amazon rainforest?A．Doubtful. B．Worried. C．Positive. D．Uncaring.While screen time is known to affect sleep, new research suggests that interactive (互动的) activities, such as texting friends or playing video games, put off and reduce the time spent asleep to a greater degree than passive (被动的) screen time like watching television, especially for teens.The team studied the daytime screen-based activities of 475 teenagers using daily surveys. They asked the teens how many hours they had spent that day communicating with friends through social media and how many hours they spent playing video games, surfing the internet and watching television or videos. Finally, the researchers asked if they had joined in any of these activities in the hour before bed.Next, the team measured their sleep time for one week. The researchers found that the teens spent an average of two hours per day communicating with friends via social media, about 1.3 hours playing video games, less than an hour surfing the internet and about 1.7 hours watching television or videos. For every hour throughout the day that they used screens to communicate with friends, they fell asleep about 11 minutes later averagely. For every hour to play video games, they fell asleep about 9 minutes later. Those who talked, texted or played games in the hour before bed lost the most sleep: about 30 minutes later.Interestingly, David, lead author of the study, said the team found no obvious relations between passive screen-based activities and sleep. “It could be that passive activities are less mentally exciting than interactive activities,” said Anne, co-author of t he study. “It’s a tricky situation,” she said. “These screen tools are really important to everyone nowadays, so it’s hard to put a limit on them, but if you’re really looking out for a teenager’s health and well-being, you might consider limiting the more interactive activities, especially in the hour before bed.”12. Which of the following belongs to interactive screen activities?A．Seeing movies. B．Watching videos.C．Texting friends. D．Surfing the internet.13. Who might lose the most sleep according to the text?A．Lucy who watched a three-hour movie before going to bed.B．Jack who had a 30-minute video chat with his brother before bed.C．Sam who played computer games for two hours throughout the day.D．Amy who chatted with her friends on WeChat for one hour in the morning.14. What does the underlined word “tricky” mean in paragraph 4?A．Frightening. B．Awkward. C．Hopeless. D．Encouraging.15. What can be a suitable title for the text?A．Screen time activities cut down our sleep hoursB．Interactive screen use reduces sleep time in teenagersC．Passive screen use is better than interactive screen useD．Parents should prevent children from using social mediaReading is a healthy habit that everyone should develop from childhood because of the benefits that come with it. 16 Therefore, take your time and start by reading slowly. The following will discuss the effects of not reading books, so you can basically consider and judge where you are and understand how reading can be beneficial.17 People who don’t read and don’t like to read find it harder to learn than people who actually read. For example, most students who fail to develop a reading habit find it difficult to get through school. This then leads to students dropping out, which is bad for society. Reading is a habit that strengthens the brain and develops your inborn love of wanting to learn more. Therefore, not being addicted to books closes you off from this.Narrow mindedness. Reading a variety of books broadens the readers’ mind. Most people who don’t read have a certain narrow mindedness to them that can easily be noticed. 18 When you don’t read, you’re forced to take everything at face value an d then create and shape your views in this way.Low brain power. One advantage of reading is its ability to improve brain function. Reading can help people become better thinkers and use brains more effectively. People who don’t read usually have low brain power because they don’t exercise the brain as much as readers do. 19Poor imagination. Reading books allows you to tap into your imaginative power. 20 This is important because it expands (拓展) your thought process as well as the ability to understand. People who don’t read books usually are short of the inspiration necessary to create imagination. This makes it difficult to be creative.As Hallee gets to the finish line of the 800-metre run for kids, the crowd is cheering wildly.

第I卷阅读题一、现代文阅读（35分）一）（原创）论述类文本阅读（本题共3小题，9分）阅读下面的文字，完成13题。
XXX的自然美XXX的美在于真，也就是自然。
这同他的思想、生活和为人是完全一致的。
他作诗不存祈誉之心，生活中有了感触就诉诸笔墨，既无矫情，也不矫饰，一切如实说来，真率而又自然。
《五柳先生传》说：‚尝著文章自娱，颇示己志，忘怀得失。
XXX这表明了他的创作态度。
正如XXXXXX所说：‚渊明所以不可及者，盖无心于非誉、巧拙之间也。
‛XXX爱的是自然，求的是自然，自然就是他最高的美学理想。
XXX说：‚渊明诗所以为高，正在不待安排，胸中自然流出。
‛这些话正道出了陶诗的风格特点。
XXX的诗和生活完整打成一片，他似乎偶然写诗，只是从生活中领悟到一点道理，产生了一种感情，蕴含在心灵深处，一旦受到外力的诱发（如一片光景，一节古书，一件时事），便采取了诗的形式，像泉水一样流溢出来。
XXX以自然本色取胜，它的美是朴素美。
我们在陶诗里很难找到奇特的意象、夸张的手法和华丽的词藻。
如‚种豆南山下‛,‚今日天气佳‛,‚秋菊有佳色‛，全都明白如话，好像绘画中的白描，另有一种使人赏心悦目的韵味。
然而，如果仅仅是朴素平淡，不会产生强烈的艺术效果，陶诗的好处是朴素中见豪华，平淡中有瑰奇。
正如XXX所说，‚外枯而中膏，似澹而实美。
‛XXX所描写的往往是最平常的事物，那些在别人看来平平淡淡的东西，一经诗人笔触，就给人以新鲜的感觉。
如《归园田居》(其五)‚山涧清且浅，可以濯我足。

AWild Times In The Lone Star StateWhether you are enjoying the atmosphere in old-time towns, hiking into untouched wilderness or preparing for horseback adventures, the plains, grasslands and valleys of Texas make for an astonishing journey. This is a land rich in natural wonders—read on to discover how you could absorb yourself in a little authentic western culture.Hike A Natural WonderLocated in the Texas, Palo Duro is the second largest canyon(峡谷) in North America, dropping more than 240 metres. The highlight of along walk in this rough but beautiful region is to climb to the Lighthouse, a sandstone rock structure. From here, you will be amazed at the view across miles of dramatic Texas wilderness.Enjoy An Enchanted DuskShaped like a large, pink loaf of bread, the Enchanted Rock stands 130m highat the top. Hike up to its summit before sunset to take in the view across the uneven land below-and listen carefully: as night falls, you might just hear the rock start to make a screeching noise, just as the old legends insist it does at dusk.Meet The Real CowboysFort Worth, as Texans will tell you, is known as Cowtown. Every morning and afternoon, a herd of longhorns moves along Exchange Avenue in the world’s only daily cattle drive. The cows are heading to the stockyards. This energetic district is full of exciting bars and restaurants set among grand early 20th-century buildings.Explore The DepthsPreviously only accessible to experienced explorers, a section of the Natural Bridge Caverns—a huge cave system near San Antonio—has now been opened to all comers. It includes a new viewing area overlooking a passage called the Box Canyon, which provides a natural theatre for a sound and light show.21. What is Texas abundant in?A. Natural attractions.B. Old legends.C. Grand buildings.D. Ancient towns.22. Which place is recommended to enjoy the sunset scenery?A. Palo Duro.B. The Enchanted Rock.C. Fort Worth.D. The Natural Bridge Caverns.23. What can be concluded about Texas from the text?A. The Box Canyon is a theatre for performers to put on shows.B. In Fort Worth, cowboys drive cattle to the bars and restaurants every day.C. Tourists can overlook the Texas wilderness in the Natural Bridge Caverns.D. Climbing to the Lighthouse is the most attractive part of the hike in Palo Duro.BWhen I was in senior high school, I was scared of writing application letters. One of my biggest fears was the fear of rejection. Keeping myself in a safe space and doing things that I know I can perform well was my favorite pastime. But I knew I had to make a change, so I tried to apply for the college myself.When I received the first reply letter, I was taking a class then. My heart was beating wildly while I waited for the school internet to connect faster. When I saw the letter starting with “Thank you for your application. After a careful review...”, I felt my face growing hotter. Although it was a college I was not thinking of going to even if I did get in, I was heart-broken.This fear is applicable anywhere else: the fear of having your projects or ideas rejected or even the fear of being rejected from your friend group, to name but a few. I cannot tell you how many times I passed up the opportunity because I always thought there were better applicants out there, and for this reason, I missed out on so many opportunities to grow.Even nowadays, when I get a rejection letter from a scholarship application, I have the same immediate reaction, no matter how many rejections I’ve gone through. But the aftermath(创伤) does get easier Every time I am rejected, I am able to bounce back and hand in another application more quickly. Along the journey of rejections, I realize that I am not incompetent, but that everyone else maybe more capable. And that is okay.This fear will never truly go away. I’m still terrified to write and publish my articles. But it is thrilling to know that I write what I want to say, explore my mind and learn more about myself. Uncertainty is scary, but without experiencing the scariness, we would never grow, would we?24. What can we know about the author’s applying for the college?A. He knew he could perform it well.B. He stepped out of his comfort zone.C. He was unwilling to make a change.D. He couldn’t write application letters25. What caused the author to give up so many chances to grow?A.

How does the author respond to being rejected nowadays?A. He struggles with self-doubt.B. He doesn’t feel scared any longer.C. He makes faster adjustments.D. He feels disappointed and desperate.27. Which can be the best title for the text?A. Relieve yourself of fear.B. Brave the fear of rejection.C. Reject saying no to yourself.D. Seize the opportunity to grow.CFor 32 years, Brenda Richardson has provided nutrition(营养) services to a diverse group of people aged 50 and older. Her journey began in college when she took a nutrition course that lit up her passion to become a registered nutritionist.After earning an undergraduate degree in dietetics(膳食营养学) and institution administration, Richardson was selected to practice at Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, ter, she worked at several military emergency facilities and then became the hospital chief of clinical dietetics. She also left active duty to work as a food buyer and nutrition educator for schools. “I am excited to see the real impact that food, nutrition and dining can have on the prevention and management of malnutrition and the quality of life for each kid.” she recalled.In 1987, Richardson was offered a role serving a different population in long-term care. She was not only a consultant for independent living, assisted living and nursing facilities, but a so worked with food producers and distributors to develop dietary supplement products for seniors. Additionally, she volunteered with some organizations, where she provided education and training for their members to serve the elderly. “While I enjoy working in emergency care and schools, I prefer working with my colleagues.to prove the value of nutrition for healthy aging,” she said. “It is so rewarding to see improvements in person-centered care, the prevention and-management of malnutrition and other diseases, and the positive impact nutrition on individuals’ daily lives.”In 2019, after being nominated by the HealthCare Community Dietetics Practice Group and Indiana Academy of Nutrition, Richardson received the Lenna Frances Cooper Memorial Lecture Award. “This is a great honor that represents Cooper’s heritage and leadership in the field of nutrition and dietetics,” she said. “Her heritage has enabled me to improve my life through evidence-based nutrition. I am honored and humble.”28. What motivated Richardson to be a registered dietitian at first?A. Her duty for schools.B. Her journey to a college.C. Her service for seniors.D. Her attendance in a nutrition course.29. What is Richardson’s special contribution as a dietitian?A. She served as a nutrition consultant for schools.B. She became director of clinical nutrition at the hospital.C. She volunteered with her fellows to prevent diseases for each kid.D. She devoted herself to serving the aging population through food and nutrition.30. What does the underlined word “nominated” mean in the last paragraph?A. Appointed.B. Named.C. Proposed.D. Distributed.31. Where is this article probably taken from?A. A health magazine.B. A senior service website.C. A nutrition cookbook.D. An education newspaper.DIf you’ve ever cooked a complex meal with someone, you know the level of cooperation required. American researchers recently showed that in a virtual kitchen, artificial intelligence (AI) learned how to cooperate with ahuman just by watching humans work together.There are some ways researchers have already trained AI to work with people. Many approaches involve reinforcement learning, where an AI interacts with an environment online-which can include other AIs or humans—and is rewarded for making decisions that lead to desired outcomes. Google Deep Mind’s program Alpha Go, for example, learned the board game Go using reinforcement learning.But starting training an AI from zero to interact with people through complete trial and error can waste a lot of time and can be risky. Another choice is to train one AI to model human behavior, and then use that as a tireless human replacement for another AI to learn to interact with. Researchers have used this method in a simple game. But repeating human behavior in more complex settings can be difficult.Thus in the study, researchers used offline reinforcement learning—a method for developing strategies by analyzing recorded behavior rather than through real-time interaction. Previously, offline reinforcement learning had been used mostly to help virtual robots move or to help AIs solve mazes (迷宫), but here it was applied to the tricky problem of working with humans. Instead of learning by interacting with people, this A I learned by watching human interactions.“The research work introduces away for AI to learn to team up with humans, without even practicing with us. It could help improve human-AI interactions.” says Nikolaidis, director of a lab.In the future, humans will increasingly work with AI, both online and in the physical world. Sometimes we’ll want an AI to silently guide our choices and strategies, like a good teammate who knows our weaknesses. “It solves an important problem how AI can learn to work with people,” says Nikolaidis.32. What is the function of reinforcement learning in the passage?A. It’s how AI learned to work with peopleB. It’s how researchers helped AI learn cooking.C. It’s how Google Deep Mind developed AlphaGo.D. It’s how AI got rewards for making correct choices.33. What is the advantage of offline reinforcement learning?A. It relies on real-time interaction.B. It helps AI learn by interacting with people.C. It takes less time and has less danger.D. It is realized through mistakes and corrections.34. What is AI expected to do in the future?A. To cook a complex meal on its own.B. To point out our weaknesses directly.C. To offer voiceless guidance sometimes.D. To solve difficult problems for humans.35. What is the text mainly about?A. AI learns cooperation by practising.B.AI learns cooking from humans.C. AI learns cooking without humans’ help.D.AI learns teamwork by watching humans.第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

It’s one of the most important events of your senior year, one you certainly don’t want to miss.About a month before prom, I started my countdown (倒计时). It took me about a week to find my dress. I bought it secondhand t but it was the most beautiful dress I’d ever seen-not too fancy, just the look I wanted. My shoes were bought from Wal-Mart. It might not seem the best place for shoes, but they were so comfortable that I couldn’t wait to dance all night long in them. My cousin Melissa did my hair and make-up. I received so many compliments (恭维) at prom about my hair and make-up and I felt grateful to her.I had much fun with a group of friends. We danced for four hours and I felt as if my feet were going to fall off. After that came the dessert buffet (自助餐). There were four to five tables filled with sweets, I only had a piece of chocolatecheesecake and this little cup of strawberry dessert, but both were to die for.By the time the casino (老虎机) and magician arrived, everyone was super tired, I wanted to sleep, but I went out into the hall with friends and took pictures* At around 6:30 am, we headed into the breakfast hall for breakfast and goodbyes. Although it wasn’t the last time we would be seeing each others it felt as if we were leaving behind so much.Prom is going to be one of the best times in your life. Don’t think of it asa dance. Think of it as a life-changing moment. I know it was for me.25. Paragraph 2 is mainly about the author’s .A. plans for the promB. decision to attend the promC. regrets at the promD. preparations for the prom26. At the prom, the author did all except .A. dancingB. sleepingC. taking photosD. eating sweets27. What does the author think of the prom?A. It is a good chance to dance.B.

Best time in your lifeD. Last moment of senior yearCToday marks the one-year anniversary of my father’s death. Looking back at the past year, I cannot describe how hard it has been for me mentally and physically.For a long time I suffered in silence. I felt as if I was running in circles (圆圆). I kept my tears to my sleep and my loneliness in my bedroom.After my father’s death, I began channeling all that pain into dance. But as a fairly new dancer, I haven’t had too much stage experience. I recently performed at my schools winter concert for one of my classmates who is dealing with a rare illness. I dedicated (献上) the dance to her and my father. I only had one week.I was so anxious that I felt like I was having a heart attack.Luckily, my best friends came to my aid. What they said to me was one of the kindest things anyone has ever said. I will never forget what one of them said: “You are so beautiful because of your heart and beautiful mind. You have more kindness than some will ever have. I saw how much that dance meant to you, especially how it connected with your memories. It made me cry, that is how incredible you are.”Just surround (环绕) yourself with people like my friend who will never think little of you. I am so proud of how much I’ve achieved and I know I will keep going, just as my father would have wished.29. What can we learn about the author from Paragraph 3?A. She had no gift for dancing.B. She found it painful to dance on stage.C. She suffered from a heart disease.D. She lacked experience and got nervous on stage.30. We can infer from the article that the author .A. performed at her school’s concertB. recovered quickly from the loss of her fatherC. is very grateful to her friendsD. is still too sad to keep moving on31. The author wrote the article mainly to .A. remind us of the importance of friends in our livesB. encourage us to deal with pain positivelyC. ell us how she became a successful dancerD. show respect, to her dear fatherDSmoking is harmful. But as soon as you quit the habit, everything will be OK, right?Wrong.New research has found that even if you give up smoking, the damage it has done to your genes (基因) will stay there for a much longer time.In the research, a team of US scientists studied the blood of 16,000 people. Among them, some were smokers, some used to smoke, and the rest were non-smokers. Scientists compared their genes and found that more than 7,000 genes of smokers had changed-a number that is one-third of known human genes.According to NBC News, both heart disease and cancer are caused by genetic changes. Some people may have had the changes when they were born, but most people get them in their day-to-day lives while doing things like smoking.When you stop smoking, a lot of these genes will return to normal within five years.This means your body is trying to heal (治愈) itself of the harmful effects of smoking. But the changes in some of the genes stay for longer.
