Created in 2022, the cafe was a response to the need in the community for programs that would enable youth with special needs to develop social and professional skills in a safe environment.The cafe was the idea of Pennsylvania mom Maureen Stanko, a teacher, fitness instructor, and musician, who was concerned about her son Nick, who has autism (孤独症) and food allergies, and what he would be able to do after graduation. In Pennsylvania, students with disabilities can stay in school until age 22, but worrying about Nick’s future is what keeps Stanko up at night.Stanko was so worried that she spoke to Nick’s therapist, Tyler Kammerle, who had dreamed about opening a restaurant to employ people with disabilities. The two worked together to make this a reality. Two years later, the So Much To Give Inclusive Cafe was born. It employed 63 people and 80 percent of them have some form of disability.The cafe is more than just a space to work; it’s also a place for people with disabilities and their families to dine. “We’d never even taken Nick to a restaurant before because we wouldn’t spend all this money to eat out to be completely stressed out,” Stanko said. “This cafe has taught Nick how to sit in a restaurant. And now we have a place to go, where if he stands up and starts hopping or clapping, nobody cares.”The inclusive cafe has made a real difference in people’s lives. One of the staff, Lauren Oppelts, who is hearing impaired, said, “If you told me two years ago that I would be a server, I wouldn’t believe you. But now I have gained so much self-confidence. A lot of employees here have changed so much; it’s just mind-blowing.”4．Why did Stanko and Tyler Kammerle establish the cafe?A．To serve people with various abilities.B．To provide a place for family occasions.C．To instruct graduates in professional skills.D．To offer employment to youth with special needs.5．What was Stanko’s concern about taking Nick to a restaurant?A．The cost of dining out.B．The noisy customers in restaurants.C．The lack of an inclusive environment.D．The food allergies Nick is suffering from.6．How has working at the cafe affected Lauren Oppelts?A．She has taken to socializing.B．She has grown more positive.C．She has become experienced in cooking.D．She has recovered from her hearing disability.7．Which of the following best describes Stanko?A．Caring and responsible.B．Ambitious and devoted.C．Determined and sensitive.D．Tough and reliable.An artificial intelligence (AI) tool of street view could be used to predict the risk of coronary heart disease — a condition where the heart’s arteries (动脉) are blocked, limiting blood flow to the heart by analysing neighbourhood environments, according to research.A study, published in the European Heart Journal, monitored everyday surroundings, including the quality of roads, buildings, and green spaces, and the role they play in determining heart health. Researchers were able to track the link between these environmental elements, including the presence or absence of pollution, and the risk of coronary heart disease. They found that these neighbourhood characteristics could account for 63% of the differences in heart disease risk from one community to another.The discovery stems from analysing more than half a million AI street view images across US cities, using computer vision to identify and interpret details that might go unnoticed by the human eye. The data provides urban planners and public health officials with information to design healthier living spaces and neighbourhoods.“Undoubtedly, there is a vast amount of social, economic and environmental data set,” said one of the study's authors, Prof Sanjay Rajagopalan. “However, there still remain significant gap s in our knowledge regarding unique environmental aspects of data that are currently beyond human comprehension. This is where the use of computer vision approaches may enable uniqueunderstanding of the physical and built environment.”By employing AI, researchers have been able to examine the details of neighbourhoods’ environment. The study employed computer vision technology, including applications used in medical imaging and autonomous driving, to identify details and then interpret them to make predictions or decisions.“We are getting to a place in human civilization where traditional approaches that have been used are rather limited and the use of AI to enhance human understanding is going to be critically important at solving complex problems,” Prof Rajagopalan said.8．What is the finding of the study?A．How people can prevent heart diseases.B．How environments affect heart health.C．How AI can reduce heart disease risks.D．How the heart's arteries are blocked. 9．What can the finding of the study help to do?A．Promote computer technology.B．Reduce air and water pollution.C．Design green neighbourhoods.D．Advertise for an AI company.10．Why was computer vision used in the study?A．The researchers had no environmental data.B．It had solved some environmentalproblems.C．People ignored the environment they live in.D．It helped people understand theenvironment.11．Which of the following is the best title for the text?A．The development of AI for hospitals B．The medical use of a street view toolC．The insight into healthy neighbourhoods D．The link between the heart and environmentForests have been embraced as a natural climate solution, due to their ability to soak up carbon dioxide from the atmosphere as they grow, locking it up in their trunks, branches, leaves, and roots. But a new study confirms widespread doubts about the potential for most forests in the Western US to help control climate change.Published in Earth’s Future, the paper analyzed trends in carbon storage across the American West from 2005 to 2019. Led by Jazlynn Hall, a forest and landscape ecologist at Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies, the team found that throughout most of the region, climate changeand fires may be causing forests to store less carbon, not more.“There’s a growing trend to use forests as natural climate solutions,” said Hall. “Many climate mitigation (减轻) pathways rely in part on additional forest carbon storage to keep warming below 1.5℃ this century. We wanted to provide a baseline for how much carbon is currently stored in Western forests, how it’s changing, and how disturbances like fire and drought pose a threat to climate mitigation targets.”The authors warn that many Western forests could see a rapid acceleration of carbon loss in the coming years or decades. “These challenges have the potential to compromise carbon storage capacity and weaken our ability to mitigate climate change, Hah cautions.By providing a fire-new view of threats at landscape and regional levels, Hall and colleagues provide a framework (框架) that could help forest managers adapt site-specific strategies to strengthen forest resilience (复原力). They also identify the remaining areas with the lowest risk and highest potential to store carbon, such as the Pacific Northwest.“Our study develops new methods to carefully estimate forest-carbon storage at a regional level, track it over time, and find out the causes of changes over time,” said Hall. He expects the methods will be useful in monitoring carbon storage levels going forward, as well as assessing the carbon impacts of management efforts such as forest thinning and planned burning.12．What does the underlined phrase “soak up” in paragraph 1 mean?A．Put down.B．Take in.C．Bring up.D．Give out. 13．Why was the study conducted?A．To find the best forests for carbon storage.B．To promote forests’ carbon storage capacity.C．To assess the current situation of forests.D．To measure the carbon released into forests. 14．What can we say about the future trend of Western forests?A．Carbon loss will speed up.B．They will become more resilient.C．They will store more carbon.D．They will have no impact on climate. 15．What is the primary function of Hall’s framework for forest management?A．Predicting future forest growth rates.B．Identifying high- risk areas for protection.C．Mapping all the forests in the Western US.D．Helping managers adapt strategies to forests.I am often struck by the thought that there is this huge life enhancing potential available to everyone on the planet that maybe we don’t always take great advantage of. 16 Through it, we help ourselves and others by sharing the things we have learned.17 I have been teaching and preaching from the time when it occurred to me that I had some really great stuff to share. But, strangely, it took me a long time to really identify what it was that I was doing, at least enough to put it into words.So, I’d like to share with you my thoughts on why teaching and sharing your knowledge can be so important to you as well as to the people around you. 18 See whether it profoundly enhanced so many parts of your life, even in the areas you’re already super successful in.Here is what makes teaching so great for the person doing the teaching. Any goal, habit, human quality, or desire that you start preaching, teaching, or pontificating about will automatically, and almost without effort, push you to do more of it yourself. 19 It pushes you to do what you are encouraging and teaching others to do. I am totally convinced this will, and does, work that way for everyone.What knowledge do you have, or have you learned that you want to be reminded and pushed to improve in your life? If you want to do better at it, there will be plenty of others that will want to do better at it too. 20A．It’s our ability to teach other people.B．We just need to talk and teach others about it.C．Doing this has been changing and helping my life for years now.D．Please, think deeply about this and then put it into practice in any way you can.E．Be sure to write down your goals and objectives as well so you can stay on track.F．The knowledge you share, whether spoken or written, is like a truth drug for the mind. G．So, why not teach and share what you know and help yourself do better and better at these things?二、完形填空Five years ago, Anna Lee, a cultural worker from Washington, D．C．, bought a vase for $3.99 at a thrifty shop.

广东省博罗县博师高级中学2023-2024学年高三上学期9月月考英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解Drive in OntarioWelcome to Ontario! Here's what you need to know if you are, or will be, visiting Ontario — and want to drive while you're here.Visiting: less than 3 monthsIf you are visiting Ontario for less than 3 months and want to drive while you're here, you can use a valid driver's licence from your own province, state or country.Visiting: more than 3 monthsIf you will be visiting from another country for more than 3 months, you will need an International Driver's Permit (IDP) from your own country. This is a special licence that allows motorists to drive internationally when accompanied by a valid driver's licence from their country. You need to have this permit with you when you arrive in Ontario. You cannot apply for one once you are here.Rules of the roadAs a visitor, you are responsible for knowing Ontario traffic laws. Here are just some:• keep to the right of the road• obey posted speed limits (e.g. 50 km/hour)• do not use handheld devices while driving (e.g. cell phones, tablets or music players)• slow down and pull to the right, if an emergency vehicle is driving behind you with their lights and sirens (e.g. an ambulance, fire truck or police car)If you break a traffic law, you will face a penalty. Penalties range from fines to making your licence invalid or your car taken away. For more information, please click here.1．l. Who is the text intended for?A．Potential immigrants.B．General visitors.C．Exchange students.D．Ordinary drivers.2．What driving habit is unacceptable in Ontario?A．Changing lanes at random.B．Giving way to fire trucks.C．Listening to music in the car.D．Driving within the speed limits.3．Where is the text most probably taken from?A．A local website.B．A travel guide.C．An advertisement.D．A geography magazineA recording which captures the sounds of nature went online on Ximalaya, a popular audio (音频的) sharing platform, on July 9. The album was recorded by Shenggu, whose work has attracted over half a million followers.After graduation, he moved to Hangzhou in 2011 to work at an Intemet company with a "996 schedule" — working from 9 am to 9 pm, six days a week. The stress of work began to affect his sleep. To relieve the stress in work, in 2013, he traveled to Fujian during the National Day holiday. It was the first time he had visited the coast and he was so impressed by the sounds of the waves that he wanted to record them.When he was back in Hangzhou, he took the recorder to the suburbs at weekends to collect the sounds of nature and started uploading his recordings to the audio platform. Of his audio clips, the sound of rain has proved to be the most popular. Rain, he notes, is also one of the hardest sounds to record as it's all hard to predict — when it is going to rain, how heavy the rainfall is and when it will stop. He usually keeps his recorder fully charged, and knows where he wants to record before the rain comes. To avoid catching the sound of the rain hitting the material, he doesn't wear a raincoat and has to remain still. As a result, he endures mosquito bites and is often left soaking wet. He once drove 50 kilometers to record a thunderstorm but returned empty-handed.He will often take his recording equipment into the forest or to the river just to be a "gourmet" of nature sounds. "When I bring my recording equipment and walk alone in the woods, I feel the peace in nature and all messy thoughts in my head can be thrown away," he says. He adds that he will continue to record the sounds of nature, because, as time goes by, some may vanish like those no longer heard in the city. He wants to keep them in the recordings.4．Why did Shenggu start recording sounds?A．The "996 schedule" motivated him.B．The stress of work made him sleepless.C．The sound of nature kept him spellbound.D．The vastness of the ocean impressed him. 5．Which of the following best describes Shenggu's efforts to record the sound of rain?A．Painful.B．Wholehearted.C．Dangerous.D．Pleasant.6．From the last paragraph, we can infer Shenggu will work continuously to__________.A．find inner peace for his lifeB．gain popularity from his audienceC．prepare more materials for his workD．preserve nature sounds for more people7．What can be the best title for the text?A．A Cure for Stress FoundB．A Natural Sounding PastimeC．The Trick of Recording Nature SoundsD．An Audio Platform Attracting FollowersA new study, published in The Journal of Experimental Psychology found that communication interactions that included voice, like a phone call or video chat, created stronger social bonds than communication through typing, like text messaging or email.In the study, researchers used various experiments to gauge connectedness. In one, they asked 200 people to make predictions about what it would be like to reconnect with an old friend by email or by phone and then assigned people at random to do one or the other. Although people anticipated that a phone call would be more awkward, hearing someone's voice actually made the experience better. However, people who participated in the experiment reported that they did form a significantly stronger bond with their old friend on the phone versus email, and they did not feel more awkward.In another experiment, the researchers had strangers connected by either texting, talking over video chat, or talking using only audio. They found that both forms of voice communication — whether video or audio only — made the strangers feel significantly more connected than when they communicated via text.Sabrina Romanoff, a Harvard trained clinical psychologist based in New York City, says people tend to text or email instead of calling because of convenience, as they see it as a controlled form of communication where they can "correspond information exactly in the way they intend without unexpected additions by the other person."Romanoff says that in reality, texting can make it hard to determine the true meaning behind a conversation. A phone call is actually more convenient when considering the net effects of the message. Each party is more present, and therefore, able to gauge the meaningbehind the content without ruminating on the endless possible meanings behind words and punctuation.8．What is the purpose of the study?A．To encourage people to let their fingers do the talking.B．To introduce the effects of verbal and non-verbal communications.C．To demonstrate the strengths and weaknesses of making phone calls.D．To compare connectedness of communication through voice and typing.9．Which way will make you feel more connected if you miss a friend far away?A．Typing a letter.B．Sending an email.C．Having a video chat.D．Texting a message.10．What does "a controlled form of communication" refer to in Paragraph 4?A．A way to talk about controlled topics.B．A way to communicate without time limit.C．A way to explain something without delay.D．A way to express thoughts without being disturbed.11．What advantage does making phone calls over texting?A．Being more formal.B．Being less awkward.C．Being more straightforward.D．Being less expensiveThe term (术语) “pseudo-working” is used to describe how many of us study. The pseudo-worker looks and feels like someone who is working hard — he or she spends a long time in the library and is not afraid to push on late into the night — but, because of a lack of focus and concentration (专注), he or she’s doesn’t actually accomplish much.This phenomenon can be seen on most college campuses. For example, at Dartmouth there was a section of the main library that was open twenty-four hours a day, and the students I used to see there late at night crowded in groups, drinking coffee, were definitely pseudo-working. The roommate who flips through her chemistry notes on the couch while watching TV is pseudo-working.By placing themselves in distracting (令人分心的) environments and insisting on working long hours, these students are damaging their brain’s ability to think clearly and accomplish the task at hand efficiently. In the end they get half the results with twice the effort.The bigger problem here is that most students don’t even realize that they’re pseudo-working. It never crosses their mind that there might be a better way. However, Straight-A students know all about pseudo-working. They fear it. It not only wastes time, but it’s also mentally tiring.In fact, the most important skill in becoming a straight-A student is the ability to get work done quickly and with a minimum of wasted effort. A science research concludes that about fifty minutes is the optimal learning period to learn best. So how do these students achieve this goal? To understand their secret to success, consider the following simple formula (公式): work accomplished = time spent x intensity (强度) of focus.Pseudo-working features a very low intensity of focus. Therefore, to accomplish something by pseudo-working, you need to spend a lot of time. The straight-A approach on the other hand, increases intensity in order to use less time.12．Which of the following phenomenon is NOT pseudo-working?A．Alex takes an online class while having snacks.B．Lucy spends a long time in the library on her essay while listening to music.C．Emily and Sara read their favorite books, as they talk about entertainment news.D．Nick is busy taking notes while attending a training course in an academic hall. 13．What’s the major problem of most students compared with straight-A students?A．They are unaware of the fact that they are pseudo-working.B．They have never thought about how to improve their study efficiency (效率).C．They are doing something to harm their brain’s ability to think clearly.D．They are willing to spend much time studying in a distracting environment. 14．What does the underlined word “optimal” mean in paragraph 5?A．Least.B．Best.C．Delicate.D．Accurate. 15．What does the author want to stress by mentioning the formula?A．The length of time on study counts.B．Getting work done quickly meanseverything.C．Concentration plays a key role in study.D．Effective study ways are very important.二、七选五Choose Action Over PerfectionImperfect progress realized is better than perfection imagined. 16 . A perfectly outline novel is unreadable until it moves out of the outline and into words, dialogues, conflicts and characters. That's why we should choose action over perfection. Here are some suggestions to help you act.Just do it. Whatever it is, just grab 5 minutes and put it into imperfect, beautiful, and flawed action that will result in imperfect, beautiful, and flawed value. Don't think too hard about it. 17 . Instead, just focus on the work you can do today. We're not good at assessing our own competencies. That's part of the reason that taking action is so scary, but don't hesitate.18 . If you keep a journal, try logging both your failures and your successes for a week or so. Compare the two categories. Log your movement forward, no matter how small. Perspective matters. Failure teaches. Success follows. Some things simply aren't worth it. Even an overwhelming sense of obligation doesn't change that fact. 19 .Work on your assignment. Keep writing, sketching, painting or whatever it is you need to be doing. Keep taking one small imperfect action after another. 20 because you'll never be. Don't wait until it's perfect, because it's rarely going to happen. Don't wait at all.A．Expect something perfectB．This may sound confusingC．Keep track of what you doD．Don't wait until you're readyE．Don't focus on the goals of perfectionF．So let go of the stuff that doesn't matterG．A perfectly imagined work of art is useless until it exists outside of your head三、完形填空like anything, and he can't even come up with his own tune. 26 he sings at the top of his tiny 27 , which are probably the size of a nut when full of air. How can he make such a big sound?I try to look away from the window, but my gaze keeps coming back. I will be in so much trouble when the teacher 28 the sheets and reads all this nonsense! My thoughts 29 . What makes this bird special is that he's not 30 at all. You can't find a less interesting, more unattractive bird than that. But boy, he can 31 and he knows what he's capable of.

Then, I drove to meet my new piano teacher, Mark.I had worked for more than three decades as a busy English teacher with an endless stream of papers to mark and precious little time to experiment or learn new skills. I was determined to make up for all I had been missing. I wanted to finally master the piano and learn how to make music.I told Mark I had a specific concrete goal: to play Clair de lune by Claude Debussy, a piece I remember hearing from early childhood.Determined that there would be a day when I would totally master this piece, I set myself a deadline: I would perform before a gathering of friends on my 60th birthday. For months I did nothing but furiously (猛烈地) practise. When the day came, around 30 friends and relatives crowded into my dining room to hear me play, and aside from a few minor slips, I managed to pull it off without embarrassing myself. People clapped warmly. I made it. I had risen to a challenge, but I still didn’t feel that I was really “making music”.After that, my progress was painfully slow. I had come to hate hearing myself play music badly. I got no pleasure from the act of missing notes.I began focusing on what few things I could do: gardening and cycling. I came to understand that I didn’t have to be that man I’d always thought I ought to be. I could just do what feels good. So, after nearly five years of lessons, I quit.I still love music; I regularly go out to concerts. But now my piano does nothing more than sit silently in my dining room, displaying family photos and collecting dust.

Instead, these single-celled are also building biomass by feeding directly on organic carbon in the ocean.These new findings could lead researchers to reduce their estimate of how much carbon dioxide diatoms pull out of the air via photosynthesis, which in turn, could take a much closer look at the understanding of the global carbon cycle, which is especially relevant given the changing climate. The new findings were published in Science Advances on July 17, 2024.The team showed that the diatom Cylindrotheca closterium, which is found in oceans around the world, regularly performs a mix of both photosynthesis and direct eating of carbon from organic sources such as plankton (浮游生物) . In more than 70% of the water samples the researchers analyzed from oceans around the world, the team found signs of simultaneous photosynthesis and direct organic carbon consumption from Cylindrotheca closterium. The team also showed that this diatom species can grow much faster when consuming organic carbon in addition to photosynthesis. Furthermore, the new research hinted at the possibility that specificspecies of bacteria are feeding organic carbon directly to a large percentage of these diatoms living all across the global ocean. This work is based on a genome-scale metabolic modeling approach that the team used to reveal the metabolism of the diatom Cylindrotheca closterium.The team’s new metabolic modeling data support recent lab experiments suggesting that some diatoms may rely on strategies other than photosynthesis to intake the carbon they need to survive, thrive and build biomass.The UC San Diego led team is in the process of expanding the scope of the project to determine how widespread this non-photosynthetic activity is among other diatom species. 8．What’s new according to the research?A．The way of the diatom’s carbon accumulation.B．The impact of climate on diverse sea plants.C．The procedure of exploring carbon.D．The system of building biomass.9．What do the new findings make researchers more focus on?A．The causes of climate change.B．The grasp of the carbon cycle.C．The bad effect of photosynthesis on diatoms.D．A rough estimate of the amount of carbon dioxide.10．What do we know from paragraph 3?A．A large number of diatoms may feed on bacteria.B．The diatom lives on plankton.C．Water samples are key factors for the research.D．Diatom species grow faster with sufficient sunlight11．Which is the most suitable title for the text?A．Photosynthesis in Diatoms B．Plankton’s Role in OceansC．New Carbon Strategies in Diatoms D．Advances in Modeling DataAccording to a report in 2023, the World Health Organization (WHO) recommended that non-sugar sweeteners not be used as a means of achieving weight control or reducing the risk of diseases. The guideline came as a surprise. After all, the very purpose of non-sugar sweeteners-which contain little to no calories—is to help consumers control their weight and reduce their risk of disease by replacing sugar.In its report, the WHO cited evidence that long-term use of non-sugar sweeteners is associated with an increased risk of diabetes (糖尿病) and death. How is it that non-sugar sweeteners are linked to the negative health effects they’re supposed to fend off?The WHO made its recommendation after reviewing hundreds of published studies. The problem is that the overwhelming majority of these studies are observational. In such studies, subjects tend to self-report their food intake, which might not guarantee inaccuracy. More importantly, observational studies cannot determine cause and effect. Are non-sugar sweeteners causing diabetes, or are people at risk of diabetes simply more likely to consume them? Lastly, there are numerous variables that researchers can’t possibly control for in these studies that could influence the results.Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) tell a different story about non-sugar sweeteners. These studies control for variables by randomly assigning people to either a treatment or control group, and they can determine cause and effect. They show that sweeteners modestly benefit weight loss and help control blood sugar, without the negative effects seen in observational research. The downside of RCTs is that they are shorter in duration, often lasting just a few months. So negative effects could appear after longer use and we wouldn’t be able to tell from these RCTs.But we also can’t tell from observational studies, which only measure correlation and not causality (因果关系) . Changing the current situation might be hard, though. RCTs are expensive and require recruiting participants, setting up diet plans, and regularly measuring subjects’ health outcomes.For change to happen, it might need to start at the top, where science is funded Government agencies, which appropriate billions for research, should start prioritizing RCTs.12．What do the underlined phrase “fend off” probably mean in paragraph 2?A．Put out.B．Defend against.C．Keep up.D．Count on. 13．What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?A．The WHO’s suggestions on observational studies.B．The strategies to decide cause and effect in conducting studies.C．The significance of controlling variables in observational studies.D．The limitations of the observational studies in the WHO report.14．What is a feature of RCTs according to the text?A．They cost little B．They tend to last long.C．They can control variables and determine causality.D．They require participants to self-report related data15．How should the government help RCTs?A．By making appropriate plans B．By providing financial supportC．By raising people’s awareness of health D．By founding more related governmentagenciesTo make science’s stories more concrete and engaging, it’s important to use some effective strategies. Here are four of them. Put people in the storyScience’s stories often lack human characters. 16 . Characters can be also people affected by a scientific topic, or interested in learning more about it. Besides, they can be storytellers who are sharing their personal experiences.17People often think of science as objective and fair. But science is actually a human practice that continuously involves choices, missteps and biases (偏见) . If you explain science as a course, you can walk people through the sequence of how science is done and why researchers reach certain conclusions. 18 . And they can also stress the reason why people should trust the course of science to provide the most accurate conclusions possible given the available information. Include what people care aboutScientific topics are important, but they may not always be the public’s most pressing concerns. In April 2024, a polling company found that “the quality of the environment” was one of thelowest-ranked priorities among people in the US. The stories about the environment could weave in connections to higher-priority topics. 19 . Tell science's storiesScientists, of course, can be science communicators, but everyone can tell science’s stories. When we share information online about health, or talk to friends and family about the weather, we contribute to information that circulates about science topics. 20 . Think about all of a story’s characteristics - character, action, sequence, scope, storyteller and content - and how you might incorporate them into the topic.A．Explain science as a processB．Shoot attractive short science videosC．Scientists themselves can actually become ideal onesD．This practice is to stress why the content is importantE．You can tell growth stories of remarkable teenage scientistsF．Science communicators can emphasize how science is conductedG．You may as well borrow features from stories to strengthen your message二、完形填空In 2018, Molly Baker unfortunately lost her husband in a severe skiing accident.

Their mothers，watch them closely for fear that the children will fall off their bikes. The children are ready to learn how to ride.Rachel Varn still remembers how she felt riding a bicycle for the first time. Now her job is helping children experience that moment. Rachel Varn left her job of selling bicycles to become a trainer for bicycle riding last year.She founded Pedal Power Kids to teach bicycle education.Before starting a ride, she teaches the children how to make sure the bicycles are in good condition for safe use. She calls it “the ABC quick check. ” As is for air，she explains.“We have to check our tires before we ride.” We want to make sure our brakes work before we find ourselves on the top of a hill about to go down.And C is for chain.She says the chain must be clean.The rest of the training is more fun. The children learn riding skills,from balance and pedaling to turning,starting and stopping.And they learn to keep their eyes up and look ahead while riding. Varn says many children struggle to do this, They look down at the pedals (踏板）instead. She adds, “Obviously that doesn't allow them to see wha's going on around them,and it also doesn't allow them to turn properly.”Yarn says watching where you are going helps you turn easier.Learning to ride a bicycle can open a whole new world to children. It gives them asense of success and freedom. They become more sensitive to their surroundings and better able to make safe，smart decisions going from one place to another.Varn’s goal is to get more children on two wheels. Since starting Pedal Power Kids last year，Varn has helped around 250 new riders.24. How do the mothers feel when the children are ready to learn riding?A. Confident.B.Nervous.C. Excited.D.Relaxed.25. What is “the ABC quick check” aimed to do?A.To check if bikes are in safe condition for use.B.To check if the tires are safe for them to use.C. To make sure the brakes work.D. To check whether the chain is clean.26. What will make it easier to turn the corner when riding a bike?A.Stopping to look around.B.Looking down at the pedals.C.Looking where they are going.D.Keeping their eyes up and looking up.27. What benefit can riding a bicycle bring according to the passage?A. It opens a new world to the mothers.B. It gives children a sense of achievement.C. It helps children stay away from video games.D. It makes children familiar with the surrounding.3.（8分）CHuman demands for natural resources have doubled in less than 50 years and are now beyond what the earth can provide, a report warned. If humans carry on like this, we will need two earths by 2030. The population of wildlife has fallen by 60% in thirty years.The report said British people are consuming (消耗) far more than the earth can deal with. If everyone lived such a lifestyle, humans would need 2.75 planets to survive. People are now living lifestyles which would require 1.5 planets, though there are great differences between rich and poor nations.Researchers studied the global change in land use and water consumption. The UK comes 31st in a list of countries based one “ecological footprint (生态足迹)” that measures howmuch land and sea each person needs to produce the resources they consume and to absorb (吸收) the wastes. The UK has fallen down from 15th place in the last report two years ago to 3lst place, but the WWF believes it is an increas e in other countries’ efforts rather than a reduction in the UK’s use of resources.Ireland has the 10th highest ecological footprint, while the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Denmark, Belgium and the US are the five worst countries for over-consumption of resources. The study suggests if the expected global population of 9.2 billion in 2050 were to eat a Malaysian diet, 1.3 planets would be needed but if everyone were to eat an Italian diet, humans would need almost two planets. Those countries that can provide the highest quality of life using the lowest amount of resources will not only serve the global interest, but will be the leaders in a resource-limited world.28．We will probably need __________earths if we follow the British lifestyle.A. 1.3B. 2.75C. 2D. 1.529．What do we know about “ecological footprint ”?A. It has something to do with human demands for resources and their wastes.B. It is used to produce the resources and absorb the wastes.C. We can know the total amount of resources on the earth through it.D. It is about changes in land use and water consumption across the globe.30．The WWF believes that_________.A. the earth won’t be able to meet human needs after 50 years.B. the UK has possibly not reduced the use of resources over the past two years.C. Ireland has a lower ecological footprint than the UK.D. there are no big differences in lifestyle between rich and poor nations.31．It can be learned from the text that Malaysia_________A. has a larger population than Italy.B. consumes fewer resources than Italy.C. would need almost two planets.D. has the highest quality of life.4.（8分）DAstronauts traveling in space meet forms of radiation (辐射) that are uncommon on Earth. Some of the radiation has been shown to be harmful to human health, which is linked to cancers and heart problems. Yet a new American study had a different finding.Researchers studied nearly 60 years of health records and other data (数据)about astronauts from the United States. They then compared the data to the information about a group of athletes, who receive good health care and are in good health.The result shows that neither group has higher rates of dying at a young age. In fact, both groups generally live longer than the other Americans.Astronauts are usually well-educated, earn more money and are in better physical condition. Some earlier research linked these to astronauts’ lower risk of early death.However, they might ignore the physical requirements of this job. In fact, there has not been much research on whether astronauts show what is known as the “healthy worker effect”. This effect leads people with the work of space travelling to have fewer medical problems than those who are not working in this field, said Robert Reynolds, a member of the study team.Reynolds said, “The problem has always been to understand if astronauts are as healthy as they would be if they had never gone to space. This means we have to find a group that is comparable on several important factors(因素).” Considering the similar physical requirements, a group of athletes are selected.As the result suggests, being exposed (暴露) to radiation doesn't lead to an early death for astronauts.“Diet and physical exercise also set astronauts and athletes apa rt from the rest of the population,” said Reynolds. “A job requiring physical fitness can add to the healthy worker effect. Even for the other people, remaining or becoming physically active and keeping a well-balanced diet greatly improve overall health and well-being, thus making successfully becoming older possible.”32．What does the underlined sentence in the first paragraph mean?A. Some forms of radiation are common on Earth.B. Some radiation is not harmful to human health.C. Astronauts may have other health problems.D. Astronauts’ health won’t be affected by radiation.33.Why do astronauts have a lower risk of early death according to the study?A. They are well protected from radiation.B. They have better knowledge about health.C. They are richer to afford better medical care.D. They need to stay healthy because of their job.34．Why are athletes chosen as a comparative group in the study?A. They work in different fields.B. They both need to be healthy enough.C. They receive the same diets and exercise.D. They suffer from the same health problems.35．What’s the main idea of the text?A. Astronauts are as healthy as athletes.B. One’s health is determined by his job type.C. Radiation actually doesn’t shorten astronauts’ lives.D. Exercise and balanced diets are secrets to a longer life.二、阅读七选五（本题共计1小题，总分10分）5.（10分）As spring comes to half the world，many people can enjoy the new growth that comes with warmer weather. This is a great time to get outside and get dirty!36 This outdoor activity gives us beautiful plants，pleasant smelling flowers and fresh fruits and vegetables. And it also gives us many health benefits.Gardening reduces loneliness. It connects people. When you are gardening，you are outdoors. 37 Gardeners usually enjoy showing people what they are growing. And most enjoy sharing advice and stories about their gardens.Gardening is a great activity to do with children. It gets them outdoors and off computers，televisions and other electronics. 38 . Gardening can teach a child about where food comes from and healthy eating. It can also help them to understand the limits of natural resources.39.This means you are getting vitamin D which helps your bodies take incalcium(钙）.That is necessary to keep bones strong. When you garden you must move around. All the different movements needed for gardening—bending，stretching and lifting—work small muscles in the body.Gardening may help your brain stay young.

On the morning of 19 April 1966, a hooded figure was hiding in the bushes near the start line of the Boston Marathon. When the gun went off to start the race, the mysterious person allowed the faster competitors to pass before joining the main group of runners. It wasn’t long before the others noticed that their new companion was a woman.The infiltrator(渗入者) was 23-year-old graduate Roberta ’Bobbi’ Gibb, an experienced runner who had had her application to run denied on the grounds that the Boston Marathon was a Men’s Division race only. Her rejection letter categorically stated: Women aren’t allowed and furthermore are not physiologically able. Having run up to 30 miles a day nearly every day for the two years leading up to the race, Gibb knew that this was not true. She decided it was time attitudes towards women changed, and bought a bus ticket to Boston. Contrary to her father’s fears that she would get hurt in the race, Gibb’s male counterparts showed her nothing but kindness. Once reporters got wind of her participation, the radio began broadcasting news of her progress. Encouraged by adrenalin and the delighted spectators, Gibb was heading for an under three-hour time for the best part of the course,but then she began running out of steam. Starved of food and water, her legs began to falter, and her feet became almost too painful to run on. If she hadn’t known that dropping out would have set women’s running back 20 or 30 years, she may not have completed the course. However, the cheering crowds on the last leg of the course succeeded in lifting her spirits, and she sprinted to the finish in a very respectable time of just under three hours and 22 minutes.On finishing the race, Gibb was treated as a hero: she was met by the governor of Massachusetts, her parents were interviewed, newspapers ran articles on her and she was invited to a TV game show. More importantly for her, she had broken the stereotype that women didn’t run marathons. She began getting calls from inspired women who had taken up running themselves, and in 1967 a second female runner competed in the Boston Marathon alongside Gibb. The following year there were five female entrants, and by 1972, the rules had been changed to allow women to compete in all US marathons. However, by then, if you had asked anyone who was the first woman to run the Boston Marathon, they would have given you a completely different name: Kathy Switzer.Twenty-year-old journalist Kathrine Switzer shot to fame after competing against Gibb in the 1967 Boston Marathon. On discovering Switzer had entered the race by pretending to be a man, race director Jock Semple tried to physically remove her, and it was this image of Switzer being attacked while running that stuck in people’s minds. Switzer conti nued running, finishing second in the 1975 Boston Marathon. Moreover, she became a successful media personality. It took Gibb decade of writing letters to magazines, TV stations and book publishers to set the record straight. But in the end, she succeeded in gaining her due recognition and was retroactively awarded first-place medals for her 1966, 1967 and 1968 races.（1）The woman is hiding in the bushes __________.A.to cheer on the best participantsB.so as not to be seen at the starting line.C.in order to watch the race unfoldD.so that she has a better view of the field（2）What ultimately drove Gibb to finish the race?A.She didn’t want her plan to backfire(发生意外).B.She wanted her parents to be proud of her.C.She wasn’t willing to disappoint the cr owd.D.She couldn’t take the shame of failure.（3）What does the writer mean when he describes Gibb’s running time as ’respectable’?A.He thinks she could have done better.B.He considers it a standard to aim at.C.He regards it as a good time.D.He can’t believe she ran so well.（4）What does the reader discover about Gibb in the fourth paragraph?A.Her reputation grew as the years went by.B.She was corrupted by fame.C.She became a household name.D.Her glory was short-lived5.（1）When you find a gift in a geocache, you _________.A.make a note of the gift on the website.B.can borrow the gift, but have to return it.C.are allowed to take the gift if you replace it with something else.D.take a photo of the gift as proof that you have found it（2）The writer thinks that the most enjoyable kind of geocaching is when _______.A.you have to find a public webcam.B.you have to find a series of geocaches.C.you have to find a geocache and then hide it in a different place.D.you simply have to find one geocache.（3）The writer has written the blog mainly to _________.A.suggest that people try geocaching.B.publicise a geocaching event in Sweden.C.warn the reader that geocaching is addictive.D.explain the differences between letterboxing and geocaching.6. The Occupy Wall Street protest movement has raised serious questions about the role of capitalist institutions, particularly corporations in American society． Well before the first protester set foot in Zucotti Park, a heckler（扰乱分子） urged Mitt Romney to tax corporations rather than people． Romney's response﹣﹣ "Corporations are people" stirred a brief but intense controversy． Now thousands of demonstrators have in effect joined the heckler, denouncing（抨击） corporations as "enemies of the people．"Far more important than questions about what corporations are is the question of what attitude we should have toward them． Should we, as corporate public relations statements often suggest, think of them as friends （if we buy and are satisfied with their products）or as family （if we work for them）? Does it make sense to be loyal to a corporation as either a customer or as an employee? More generally, even granted that corporations are not fully persons in the way that individuals are, do they have some important moral standing in our society?My answer to all these questions is no, because corporations have no core dedication to fundamental human values． Such corporations exist as instruments of profit for their shareholders． In fact, left to themselves, they can be serious threats to human values that conflict with the goal of corporate profit． Corporations are a particular threat to truth, a value essential in a democracy, which places a premium on the informed decisions of individual citizens． The corporate threat is most apparent in advertising, which explicitly aims at convincing us to prefer a product regardless of its actual merit． Their defining goal is to generate profit． There are cases when telling the truth is the best means to advance corporate profits． In 1982, when seven people in Chicago died from poisonedTylenol, Johnson & Johnson appealed to its credo, which makes concern for its customers primary corporate goal, and told the entire truth about what had happened． This honesty turned a potential public﹣relations disaster into a triumph． But Johnson & Johnson's impressive corporate credo ends by saying, "Our final responsibility is to our stockholders and must make solid profit． The credo is unclear about what happens when there is a conflict between responsible action and long﹣term profit．"None of this means that corporations are evil or that socialism should replace the free﹣enterprise system． As Michel Foucault said of all power structures, it's not that corporations are bad but that they are dangerous． The self﹣serving corporate speech that fills our media and halls of government is particularly dangerous for our democracy． At least for this reason, the Occupy Wall Street protesters are right to distrust corporations．（1）Mitt Romney most probably believes that________．A.individuals should pay more taxes than corporationsB.corporations should not be forced to pay more taxesC.people should care more about corporations' developmentD.corporations should enjoy all the legal rights as people do．（2）According to Paragraphs 2 and 3， it can be inferred that corporations________．A.should be set as moral examples of the societyB.take employees' faithfulness as part of their goalsC.contribute little to the most essential human valuesD.are actually means by which people share profits．（3）The 1982 event is cited in Paragraph 3 to illustrate that________．A.corporations always make profits at the expense of people's healthB.customers should always keep an eye on the quality of any productC.corporations take economic profit as their priority essentiallyD.corporation profit is always in contradiction with customer interests．（4）Which of the following is the best title for the text？________A.Corporations， People and TruthB.Corporations Are Different from PeopleC.Corporations Are UntrustworthyD.The Occupy Wall Street Protest．五、六选四)7. Although books are still popular with teenagers， most of them spend more of their leisure time staring at their phone than reading a paperbook．（1）_______Instead of publishing whole book at once， they produce very short chapters， which they send oncea week to their readers by text message．（2）_______Many are written by high school or university students who are very familiar with the topics that teenagers are interested in． Common themes are love， tragedy and betrayal， and the stories often deal with difficult or controversial issues．Twenty﹣one﹣year﹣old Rin wrote her novel over a six﹣month period in spare moments，often while commuting on the train．（3）_______Her book sold 40000 copies and was number five in the Japanese bestseller list． Rin said that her mother had had no idea that she had been writing a novel and was therefore very surprised when she saw a book withher daughter's name on it（4）_______Chapters have no more than 200 words， and often just 50﹣100words． Sentences are short and there are no descriptions of anything or anybody because there isn't space． The text mostly consists of dialogue and the language is direct，conveying a lot in a few words．In 2009， a young Japanese writer called Takatsu， who lives in Canada， began writing the first English language cell phone novel， Secondhand Memories． Takatsu had read anEnglish translation of Rin's story and had been impressed by its simple and emotional language． It was a feature he deliberately copied when he started writing Secondhand Memories．（5）_______He now believes that， in English， cell phone novels have a powerful and poetic identity of their own． Cell phone novels encourage young people to engage in fiction， even those who would not normally pick up a book． They could be described as ten novels for the 21st century．A． Books are sometimes regarded as old﹣fashioned and difficult to read．B． In response 10 this trend， some smart young authors have changed the way they write．C． However， as the story progressed， the style gradually evolved into something different．D． She typed out chapters on her phone and uploaded them onto a popular website forcell phone authors．E． No money is made from cell phone novels unless they are published as books．F． The style of cell phone novels has evolved to suit the medium．G． Although the idea originated in Japan， cell phone novels have also appeared in therest of world．六、概要写作)8. Directions： Read the following passage． Summarize the main idea and the main point （s） of the passage in no more than 60 words． Use your own words as far as possible．It's undeniable： Being among the first to try out a new piece of technology iscool． There's the excitement of doing what has never been done before the feeling thatyou're living in the future． And when you're the sole member of your social circle with the latest hot gadget， people stare in fascination． They ask you questions． They see you as the holder of powerful， secret knowledge for a little while， until the next big thing comes along． People tend to underestimate the costs of this temporary coolness， which theypay in more ways than one． Don't fall into the early adopter trap． Don't join the firstwave of consumers who invest in the latest media﹣hyped hardware： instead， wait and see．To put it frankly， early adoption is a bad investment． First， the earliest versions of devices are not only expensive， they are also the most expensive that those devices will ever be． Companies are presumably attempting to recover the cost of production as fast as they can， and they know that there are serious tech﹣lovers who will pay a great deal to be first． Once the revenues from early adopters' purchases are safely in their hands， theycan cut the price and shift to the next marketing phase： selling the product to everyone else． This is why the cost of the original iPhone dropped about U． S． 200 only eight months after its release． Plus， electronics hardly ever become more expensive because intense competition in the industry puts downward pressure on prices over time． Prices of gadgets will fall shortly after release， and they will likely keep falling． Many new TV models drop significantly in price as little as ten days after hitting the market． Further，electronics rapidly depreciate because they become obsolete （废弃的） so quickly． This means that early adopters pay the maximum price for an item that does not hold onto its value． The resale price of a cell phone or laptop can drop by fifty percent within just a few months．Speaking of becoming obsolete， those who are first to leap into a new technology risk wasting money and time on something that will never catch on． Another good reason to resist the early﹣adoption temptation is that the first version of a product typically hasdefects that cost a lot in time and frustration． Such problems are so common with new technology that early adopters are basically unpaid beta testers and troubleshooters． Unless this sounds to you like a fun way to spend your time， don't be among the first users． If you wait to learn what the problems are with a new electronic gadget， you can look forward to a smoother experience or choose a less troublesome product．七、根据所给汉语意思完成句子)9. Directions: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.（1）每个人都应该为慈善出一份力，这无关地位和财富。

Over the past few decades, more and more countries have opened up the markets, increasingly transforming the world economy into one free-flowing global market. The question is: Is economic globalization 1 for all?According to the World Bank, one of its chief supporters, economic globalization has helped reduce 2 in a large number of developing countries. It quotes one study that shows increased wealth 3 to improved education and longer life in twenty-four developing countries as a result of integration (融合) of local economies into the world economy. Home to some three billion people, these twenty-four countries have seen ines 4 at an average rate of five percent—pared to two percent in developed countries.Those who 5 globalization claim that economies in developing countries will benefit from new opportunities for small and home-based businesses. 6 , small farmers in Brazil who produce nuts that would originally have sold only in 7 open-air markets can now promote their goods worldwide by the Internet.Critics take a different view, believing that economic globalization is actually 8 the gap between the rich and poor. A study carried out by the U.N.-sponsored World mission on the Social Dimension of Globalization shows that only a few developing countries have actually 9 from integration into the world economy and that the poor, the uneducated, unskilled workers, and native peoples have been left behind.10 , they maintain that globalization may eventually threaten emerging businesses. For example, Indian craftsmen who currently seem to benefit from globalization because they are able to 11 their products may soon face fierce petition that could put them out of 12 . When large-scale manufacturers start to produce the same goods,or when superstores like Wal-Mart move in, these small businesses will not be ableto __13 and will be crowded out.One thing is certain about globalization—there is no 14 .

AAfter so many years’ changes, I consider happiness to be a habit. My happiness moves many people around me. When people ask me why I am so happy, I only tell them that happiness is just a kind of habit.I used to hate those so-called kind advice given to me by people. I obviously know that few people can follow the advice. I seriously hurt myself in the end because I care about everything. I don’t want to hear friends’ sweet words. I am not used to friends’dishonesty. Suddenly I don’t like the world very much, feeling frustrated and disappointed. Since I can’t change the world, I have to adapt to the society. Whether I am happy or not, I have to live through 24 hours a day happily. Of course, no one is able to smile happily when they are faced with sadness. However, you can adjust your state of mind within the shortest time.It should be known that sadness is not the best solution to troubles. So I keep the motto in mind: “Please lead a happy life.” The motto reminds me to spend each day happily at every moment because I like all of people, hope to lead a better life. Although I am not satisfied with my material life. I have learned to make up the spiritual emptiness.We can’t learn all of knowledge in our life. There are always some truths that we can’t understand. Some troubles will crowd into our mind expectedly or unexpectedly. Life is like a dream. Unlucky things are more than lucky ones. It is not easy to live in the world. We should get on well with the people around us and cherish(珍惜) their friendship. Looking down upon others shows that you have no enough good quality. Each of us has his own different backgrounds and levels of education. When you look down upon others, others will also look down upon you. Therefore, you should learn to g et on happily with each of the people around you. You should learn to discover your friends’ strengths and learn from them. Friend’s weaknesses form the basis for your future advancement. If you have such weaknesses, you should improve them in time. This is what we are always expecting.Happiness is not just a kind of feeling in mind. Your happiness can help people feel smile on your face, which tells them that you are happy. If you are very careful in life, you will know the most beautiful expression is smile. If you want to have the most beautiful expression in the world every day, you should consider happiness to be a habit.21.

Although no one knows for sure, chopsticks are thought to be more than 5,000 years old. Appearing first in China，chopsticks began to spread to Korea，Japan and later Vietnam by 500 A.D.Chopsticks are typically made from bamboo due to the fact that bamboo is easy to split, rather inexpensive to produce, and resistant to heat. However, many other materials havebeen used to construct chopsticks including pine, bone and sandalwood. Other types of chopsticks have been made from gold，silver and bronze. Ancient bronze chopsticks have been discovered in China, dating back to the Shang Dynasty. Generally, Chinese chopsticks tend to be roughly 25 centimeters long and Japanese ones measure about 18-20 centimeters.Within the Asian culture, chopstick usage contains a superstitious (迷信的）element. In China, it’s popular among lovers and newly-married couples to give each other chopsticks as a gift. The two sticks need to be the same length and used together, showing the couple’s cooperation and love. Uneven (参差不齐的)chopsticks are a sign of a bad travel experience to come. Those who sit at a table with uneven chopsticks are certain to miss the next boat, plane or train they were supposed to catch. Those who drop their chopsticks to the floor will have bad luck in the near future.The way you handle your chopsticks can say a lot about you, depending on what country you’re in. Chopsticks should be held at the middle in China. Holding them at top signals feeling superior and holding them at bottom is “the way of beggars”. In many Asian cultures, it’s co nsidered rude to allow your chopsticks to stand straight in a bowl of rice. Chopsticks should not be used to root around in the bottom of your bowl for food.28. Why are chopsticks chosen as presents by newly-married couples?A. Because chopsticks are necessary and common tools used in the family.B. Because chopsticks are cheap and can be used long in their future life.C. Because chopsticks stand for the couples living together happily.D. Because chopsticks may bring them good luck while traveling.29. What is considered impolite when people use chopsticks ?A. Holding chopsticks at the middleB. Dropping chopsticks while eating.C. Standing chopsticks straight in a bowl of rice.D. Sending chopsticks among lovers.30. What is considered as a fact of chopsticks?A. It is clear when chopsticks were born.B. Bronze was once used to make chopsticks in China.C. Chinese chopsticks are often shorter than Japanese ones.D. Beggars hold their chopsticks at the bottom.31. The main purpose of the passage is to give information about________.A. the development and popularity of chopsticksB. the producing and spreading of chopsticksC. the function and using customs of chopsticksD. the history and using manners of chopsticksDHow often do you let other people like a bad driver, a rude waiter, or an angry boss, change your mood?Sixteen years ago I learned a lesson. I got in a taxi, and we took off for Grand Central Station. We were driving in the right lane when all of a sudden, a black car jumped out of a parking space right in front of us. My taxi driver used his brakes, the tires made a loud noise, and at the very last moment our car stopped just 3cm from the back of the other car.I couldn’t believe it. But then I couldn’t believe what happ ened next. The driver of the other car, the guy who almost caused a big accident, turned his head around and he started shouting at us. I couldn’t believe it!My taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy. So, I said, “Why did you just do that? This guy could have killed us!” And this is when my taxi driver told me what I now call, “The Law of the Garbage Truck”. He said, “Many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of garbage, full of anger and disappointment. As their garb age piles up, they look for a place to dump it. And if you let them, they’ll dump it on you.”So I started thinking how often I let Garbage Trucks run right over me and how often I take their garbage and spread it to other people.I began to see Garbage Trucks. I see the load people are carrying. I see them coming to dump it. And like my taxi driver, I don’t take it personally. I just smile, wave, wishthem well, and move on.32.
