AA bright yellow “M” tells you that it’s a McDonald’s restaurant; we also associa te the cheerful theme tune “I’m Lovin’ It” with the famous US fast food.A brand’s music has a similar effect on its customers as its logo. “It appeals directly to the heart, where consumers’ decisions are really made,” wrote Marketing Week.This is probably why companies from around the world have recently focused more on building a “sonic (声音的) identity”.An example is the software company Tencent QQ. Since 2014, this Chinese company has been trying to trademark (申请商标权) its “Di-Di-Di-Di-Di-Di” notificatio n sound. The trademark was finally approved on Nov 15, which means that Tencent’s “Di-Di-Di-Di-Di-Di” notification sound is now protected by law and can only be used by QQ.Sound and music can also help tell stories. In Game of Thrones (《权力的游戏》) there are so many characters that it is difficult to memorize them all. So, they wrote melodies (旋律) specific to each family. The result is that characters do not only look familiar, but sound familiar too.“I think a huge reason why sound inspires action is that, o n an unconscious level, we are always listening,” Lauren Nagel, executive creative director at Pandora Media, told GeoMarketing. “You can close your eyes, but you can’t shut your ears.”1. What is the influence of a brand’s music, according to Marketing We ek?A. It creates a relaxing environment.B. It helps to get customers’ attention.C. It makes the brand better known.D. It encourages consumers to make quick decisions.2. The example of Tencent QQ is mainly used to show ______.A. how companies value their sounds and musicB. the importance of trademark protectionC. the lasting impact of a brand’s musicD. what makes a good notification sound3. How does music help Game of Thrones?A. It helps to create more impressive scenes.B. It tells about the c haracters’ personalities.C. It suggests that important things are coming.D. It makes the characters easier to remember.BPerhaps no one knows the power of imagination better than Chinese writer Liu Cixin. Until four years ago, Liu worked full-time as a computer engineer at a power plant in Shanxi province. He only wrote science fiction in his spare time. But it was during this time that Liu’s imagination took flight. He did what he might never have the chance to do in real life –wander in space, fight with aliens, and visit planets light-years away.But even with such a powerful imagination, Liu, 55, probably hadn’t expected that he would become the first Asian to win the Hugo Award, science fiction’s highest prize, in 2015. Perhaps neither did he think that former US president Barack Obama would read his novel The Three-Body Problem, nor that on Nov 9 in Washington DC, he would win the 2018 Arthur C. Clarke Award for Imagination in Service to Society. It’s the first time a Chinese writer has ever won the award.In his acceptance speech, Liu said that he owed his imagination to Arthur C. Clarke (1917-2008), a famous UK sci-fi author. He said that reading Clarke’s 1968 classic novel 2001: A Space Odyssey in the early 1980s had a great effect on him.“My mind opened up like never before. I felt like a narrow river finally seeingthe sea,” Liu said. “That night, in my eyes, the starry sky was completely different from the past. For the first time in my life, I was awed (使……敬畏) by the mystery of the universe.”But no matter how far away Liu’s imagination takes him, somehow his novels always stay rational.In The Three-Body Problem, for example, Liu tells a tale of aliens invading Earth. But unlike other alien stories, Liu talks more about relationships between civilizations(文明), rules of survival, and the meanings of life. And in The Wandering Earth, Liu looks ahead to the day when our solar system comes to an end and humans have to look for a new place to live. However, all his visions and solutions are based on “hard science”. Liu’s works aren’t simply daydreams.4. What do we know about Liu Cixin?A. He became a full-time writer when he was young.B. He dreamed about wandering in space from childhood.C. He is the first Asian to win the Arthur C. Clarke Award.D. He is the first Chinese winner of the Hugo Award.5. Liu Cixin’s words are used mainly to show ______.A. his interest in mysteries of the universeB. his love of reading science fictionC. his confusion when he started writingD. his feeling after reading Clarke’s work6. Why did the author mention The Three-Body Problem and The Wandering Earth?A. To compare the different writing styles in the two books.B. To explain how Liu Cixin came up with his ideas.C. To show that Liu Cixin has a powerful imagination.D. To prove that Liu Cixin’s works relate science to reality.7. What’s the text mainly about?A. Liu Cixin’s achievements and writing style.B. Liu Cixin’s contributions to science fiction.C. How Liu Cixin became a sci-fi writer.D. How Liu Cixin started a newsci-fi style.CGiving generously and receiving gratefully make it easier to live happily with others. Yet, why do we have such difficulty accomplishing these things in our relationships? I think people refuse to be generous with others because they fear being used.For example, my husband and I have family members who only contact us when they need money. We usually accept their requests, but we rarely receive a “thank you”. Most people would say that my husband and I are being used. But when we give, we shouldn’t be giving for the purpose of getting gratitude. Rather, we should be giving because it’s a good thing to do.Everything that we have, from our ability to wake up each morning to the money in our bank account, is a gift from the world. In return, the world asks us to use these gifts to help others, either by giving them our time or our resources. The good news is that when we live our lives being nice to others, our lives run more smoothly.If you’re generous, yes, some people will use you. But if you practice being generous, most of your relationships will improve. And at the same time, we should remember to receive gratefully. I truly believe that you cannot say “thank you” enough.So often we get lazy about expressing gratitude. Parents can feel unappreciated by their children, and teachers can feel unappreciated by their students. Just because a task is part of someone’s job description doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t thank them for it.Words of appreciation make others feel good about themselves like nothing else. It’s good for us to say “thank you” because we often need to tell ourselves how lucky we are.If you are looking for a way to improve your life, I can give you one: Give generously and receive gratefully.8. The author mentions her family members in the article mainly to explain ______.A. why we should give even if we feel we are being usedB. why people have trouble expressing gratitudeC. what makes people refuse to offer helpD. why it’s necessary to express gratitude9. According to the author, why should we be grateful to those who help us?A. It can bring us good luck.B. Words of gratitude make people happy.C. It’s not other people’s duty to help us.D. All we normally get are gifts from the world.10. The author wrote this article mainly to ______.A. tell the importance of generosityB. persuade people to give generously and receive thankfullyC. show how to express our gratitude to othersD. give tips on how to improve other people’s lives第二节 (共5小题：每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

There are lessons in that time-honored coin-saving container.Any huge task seems easier when reduced to baby steps. I f you wished to climb a 12,000-foot mountain, and could do it a day at a time, you would only have to climb 33 feet daily to reach the top in a year. If you want to take a really nice trip in 10 years for a special occasion, to collect the $15,000 cost, you have to save $3.93 a day. If you drop that into a piggy bank and then once a year put $1,434 in a savings account at 1% interest rate after-tax, you will have your trip money.When I was a child, my parents gave me a piggy bank to teach me that, if I wanted something, I should save money to buy it. We associate piggy banks with children, but in many countries, the little containers are also popular with adults. Europeans see a piggy bank as a sign of good fortune and wealth. Around the world, many believe a gift of a piggy bank on New Year‟s Day brings good luck and financial success. Ah, but you have to put something in it.Why is a pig used as a symbol of saving? Why not an elephant bank, which is bigger and holds more coins? In the Middle Ages, before modern banking and credit instruments, people saved money at home, a few coins at a time dropped into a jar or dish. Potters(制陶工) made these inexpensive containers from an orange-colored clay(黏土) called “pygg,” and folks saved coins in pygg jars.The Middle English word for pig was “pigge”. While the Saxons pronounced pygg, referring to the clay, as “pug”, eventually the two wor ds changed into the same pronunciation, sounding the “i” as in pig or piggy. As the word became less associated with the orange clay and more with the animal, a clever potter fashioned a pygg jar in the shape of a pig, delighting children and adults. The piggy bank was born.Originally you had to break the bank to get to the money, bringing in a sense of seriousness into savings. While piggy banks teach children the wisdom of saving, adults often need to relearn childhood lessons. Think about the things in life that require large amounts of money--- college education, weddings, cars, medical care, starting a business, buying a home, and fun stuff like great trips. So when you have money, take off the top 10%, put it aside, save and invest wisely.5. What is the piggy bank strategy?A. Paying 1% income tax at a time.B. Setting a goal before making a travel plan.C. Putting aside a little money regularly for future use.D. Aiming high even when doing small things.6. Why did the writer‟s pa rents give him a piggy bank as a gift?A. To delight him with the latest fashion.B. To encourage him to climb mountains.C. To teach him English pronunciation.D. To help him form the habit of saving.7. The piggy bank originally was ________.A. a cheap clay containerB. a potter‟s instrumentC. an animal-shaped dishD. a pig-like toy for children8. The last paragraph talks about ________.A. the seriousness of educating childrenB. the enjoyment of taking a great tripC. the difficulty of starting a businessD. the importance of managing moneyCThe behaviour of a building‟s users may be at least as important as its design when it comes to energy use, according to new research from the UK Energy Research Centre (UKERC). The UK promises to reduce its carbon emissions (排放）by 80 percent by 2050, part of which will be achieved by all new homes being zero-carbon by 2016. But this report shows that sustainable building design on its own — though extremely important- is not enough to achieve such reductions: the behaviour of the people using the building has to change too.The study suggests that the ways that people use and live in their homes have been largely ignored by existing efforts to improve energy efficiency (效率)，which instead focus on architectural and technological developments.…Technology is going to assist but it is not going to do everything,‟explains Katy Janda, a UKERC senior researcher，…consumption patterns of building users can defeat the most careful design. ‟In other words，old habits die hard, even in the best-designed eco-home.Another part of the problem is information. Households and bill-payers don‟t have the knowledge they need to change their energy-use habits. Without specific information，it‟s hard to estimate the costs and benefits of making different choices. Feedback (反馈）facilities, like smart meters and energy monitors，could help bridge this information gap by helping people see how changing their behaviour directly affects their energy use; some studies have shown that households can achieve up to 15 percent energy savings using smart meters.Social science research has added a further dimension (方面），suggesting that individuals‟ behaviour in the home can be personal and cannot be predicted — whether people throw open their windows rather than turn down the thermostat (恒温器) , for example.Janda argues that education is the key. She calls for a focused programme to teach people about buildings and their own behaviour in them.9. As to energy use, the new research from UKERC stresses the importance of________.A. the behaviour of building usersB. zero-carbon homesC. sustainable building designD. the reduction of carbon emissions10. What are Katy Janda‟s words mainly about?A. The necessity of making a careful building design.B. The importance of changing building users‟ habits.C. The variety of consumption patterns of building users.D. The role of technology in improving energy efficiency.11. The information gap in energy use _______.A. affects the study on energy monitorsB. can be bridged by feedback facilitiesC. brings about problems for smart metersD. will be caused by building users‟ old habits12. What does the dimension added by social science research suggest?A. The social science research is to be furthered.B. The education programme is under discussion.C. The behaviour preference of building users is similar.D. The behaviour of building users is unpredictable.DThe kids in this village wear dirty, ragged clothes. They sleep beside cows and sheep in huts made of sticks and mud. They have no school. Yet they all can chant the English alphabet, and some can make words.The key to their success: 20 tablet computers(平板电脑) dropped off in their Ethiopian village in February by a U.S. group called One Laptop Per Child.The goal is to find out whether kids using today‟s new technology can teach themselves to read in places where no schools or teachers exist. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology researchers analyzing the project data say they‟re already amazed. “What I think has already happened is that the kids have already learned more than they would have in one year of kindergarten,” said Matt Keller, who runs the Ethiopia program.The fastest learner—and the first to turn on one of the tablets—is 8-year-old Kelbesa Negusse. The device‟s camera was disabled to save memory, yet within weeks Kelbesa had figured out its workings and made the camera work. He called himself a lion, a marker of accomplishment in Ethiopia.With his tablet, Kelbasa rearranged the letters HSROE into one of the many English animal names he knows. Then he spelled words on his own. “Seven months ago he didn‟t know any English. That‟s unbelievable,” said Keller.The project aims to get kids to a stage called “deep reading,” where they can read to learn. It won‟t be in Amharic, Ethiopia‟s first language, but in English, which is widely seen as the ticket to higher paying jobs.13. How does the Ethiopia program benefit the kids in the village?A. It contributes to their self-study.B. It trains teachers for them.C. It helps raise their living standards.D. It provides funds for building schools.14. It amazed Keller that with the tablet Kelbesa could _______.A. draw pictures of animals.B. learn English words quickly.C. write letters to researchers.D. make phone calls to his friends.15. What is the aim of the project?A. To offer Ethiopians higher paying jobs.B. To make Amharic widely used in the world.C. To assist Ethiopians in learning their first language.D. To help Ethiopian kids read to learn in English.第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
2023-2024学年甘肃省兰州第一中学高一上学期10月月考英语试题
2023-2024学年甘肃省兰州第一中学高一上学期10月月考英语试题Take a global tour of the world’s best frozen treatsFrozen custard, The United StatesSoft serve frozen custard is a typical American ice cream. Different than frozen yogurt, which is made with cultured yogurt and sugar, frozen custard is a combination of milk, cream, sugar and egg yolks(蛋黄). Traditional American ice cream sometimes has egg yolks, too, but the difference is the texture(口感): custard is dense because it’s made in a machine that doesn’t incorporate air into the ingredients.Raspado, MexicoRaspados are the Mexican version of American snow cones. But while snow cones are made using excessively sweet syrup, raspados have real fruits or fresh fruit juices. The sweet and cold treat is everywhere throughout Mexico and sold at street carts. These carts sell a range of fruit-based flavors such as pineapple, orange and mango.Gelato, ItalyPasta aside, ice cream is considered to be Italy’s culi nary symbol. In fact, visiting the local gelateria(意大利风味冰激凌店)is a way of life for Italians. Italians gather at gelaterias to socialize. They’re popular hangouts and cultural icons. Italian gelato is lower in fat than traditional ice cream. It is crafted with whole milk, eggs, sugar and flavoring — hazelnut, pistachio and vanilla ice cream mixed with pieces of chocolate are the most beloved flavors.Dondurma, TurkeyIs there any ice cream that doesn’t melt? Yes, that’s exactly what dondurma or Turkish ice cr eam is. Buying dondurma is like watching a performance. The men who sell it wear traditional Turkish clothes and a sultan hat and stretch, twist and turn the ice cream until it lands into a cone. Kids and adults get a kick out of the show1. How does frozen custard differ from traditional American ice cream?A．It contains egg yolks. B．It is denser in texture.C．It is sold at street carts. D．It stays frozen for longer.2. Which country has turned ice cream into a cultural element?A．The United States. B．Mexico.C．Italy. D．Turkey.3. Which ice cream has the most interesting buying experience?A．Frozen custard. B．Raspado.C．Gelato. D．Dondurma.Recently, the “city walk” has been g aining steam among residents and tourists around China. On social platform Xiaohongshu, data shows that the number of city walk-related topic posts has increased by 700 percent over the past three months, and the total number of interactions has increased by more than 600 percent.A city walk is a form of urban tourism originating in the UK. Unlike traditional sightseeing, which aims to hit famous attractions and commercial center, usually by vehicles with tense schedules, city walk is about “roaming”(漫步)around a city on foot, soaking up the atmosphere and finding unusual things that even a resident of the city might not have noticed before. Such walks generally avoid famous scenic spots and shopping centers, and take you to places where you can have real interactions with the local people, eat at small but authentic restaurants, and gain a deeper understanding of the history and culture of the city. City walkers are a cast of people who possess intense curiosity. They are eager to engage with the city they are visiting or reside in their own way. By “roaming” on foot, city walke rs can better feel the texture and listen to the breath of a place. They seek pleasure more through connection than consumption, which indicates a deep cultural curiosity. For example, in Chongqing, if you don’t take a walk, you can hardly experience the unique geographical charm of the mountainous city. Be it the hutong in Beijing or the Chinese parasol tree district in Shanghai; city walks allow people to see the scenery apart from the scene and uncover hidden knowledge.The appeal of a city walk lies in the young generation’s changing attitude toward life — pursuing quality leisure time while being occupied with demanding workloads and limited time for exploration.While roaming along the road, you can entirely focus on yourself and listen to your inner voice and care for what you feel, which is a way to love yourself and benefit your mental health. Just like Oscar Wilde once said, “To love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance.”4. What do the underlined words “gaining steam” in paragraph 1 probab ly mean?A．Raising concerns. B．Getting outdated.C．Becoming popular. D．Causing trouble.5. How does the city walk differ from traditional sightseeing?A．It pursues economical tourism.B．It is usually well-organized and scheduled.C．It helps promote the authentic food of the destination.D．It focuses on feeling the local culture by connecting the city.6. What do we know about city walkers?A．They are keen to buy souvenirs.B．They tend to walk as much as possible.C．They have strong curiosity about the local culture.D．They prefer the city landscape to the natural scenery.7. What is the last paragraph mainly about?A．Why young people fall in love with a city walk.B．How popular the city walk is among citizens.C．What people often do during a city walk.D．Why city walk changes people’s lifestyle.Rain or shine, Tsering Chopa treks (艰苦跋涉) for long hours to deliver mail. For 18 years, the Tibetan mailman has been an important link between a remote, high-altitude settlement and the rest of the world. At 5,373 meters above sea level, Pumachangthang in Nakarze county of the Tibet autonomous region is China’s highest township(乡镇). The oxygen level is less than 40 percent and the annual average temperature is –7℃ . However, these weren’t the biggest cha llenges for a postal service. The area of the township is about 1,500 square kilometers, but its population is less than 2,000. The distance from the county town is some 70 km and a single trip to all the six villages can be as long as 160 km. The dogged perseverance required to get the job done under such conditions needs no further explanation.The busiest time for Tsering Chopa is between July and August each year, when students are waiting for their admission letters from various universities. He recalls once he had to deliver mail to one student whose family had already moved away. He had to quiz neighbors several times to find the new address. It was summer and the usual road to the village was blocked because of rain. He trekked for more than 20 km and grappled with shortness of breath all the way to finally deliver the letter. “I don’t mind the hardships because it is not easy for students from remote villages to get college admission. It was my duty to deliver the mail on time,” he says.One night in February 2019, a local resident Nyima Tsering’s daughter had fainted and desperately needed help. Knowing that, the mailman arranged for a car right away and sent her to the county hospital. He also gave some cash to the family for the girl’s treatment. Nyima Tsering’s daughter recovered soon, and Tsering Chopa became an idol in the village. “I will never forget his compassion and kindness,” says the grateful father.In 2019, Tsering Chopa received the China Youth May Fourth Medal. “It is an acknowledgment of what I do and a token of encouragement as well,” he says. “And I want to help more people living in remote areas. I want to bring the world closer to them and take them closer to the world.”8. Which is the most challenging part of Tsering Chopa’s work?A．Trekking for long distances. B．Suffering from cold temperatures.C．Standing extremely bad road conditions. D．Adapting to the high-altitudeenvironment.9. What words can best describe Tsering Chopa according to paragraph 2?A．Optimistic and cautious. B．Generous and intelligent.C．Courageous and ambitious. D．Persistent and responsible.10. How did Tsering Chopa help Nyima Tsering?A．Tsering Chopa fixed his car for free.B．Tsering Chopa saved his daughter’s life.C．Tsering Chopa delivered his admission letters quickly.D．Tsering Chopa drove him to a hospital for treatment.11. What is the best title for the text?A．Hardship Makes a Good Postman B．A Mailman Shows Kindness to Students C．A Postman in Tiebet Bridges Huge Gap D．Post Service Creates a Convenient LifeWe all know that our body language can give off signals to those around us about how we’re truly feeling. Crossed arms or closed body language suggests that we are feeling defensive (防御的) and we didn’t really believe what we’re listening to. Walking here and there suggests that we’re bored. And poor eye contact can suggest that we’re lying.One major development in the field of body language that hit the headlines is the “power pose.” This is a theory put forward in 2011 by U.S. social psychologists Amy Cuddy, Dana Carney and Andy Yap. They proposed that when you pretend to be powerful, you are more likely to actually feel powerful.What the theory suggests is that the simple act of holding a powerful pose can have powerful impact. For example, sitting with your legs up on the desk and arms held behind your head can raise your androgen levels and lower your cortisol (皮质醇) levels. Androgen is the hormone that affects dominance (控制); cortisol is the stress hormone. The study assessed participa nts’ hormone levels before and after they held high-power and low-power poses.Just as a male gorilla beats his chest to tell his dominance, humans can use body language to enhance their confidence, increase feelings of power, and lower their stress levels. These findings build on several psychological studies suggesting that some aspects of body language can change your emotional state. For instance, someone nodding “yes” to you can make you easier to persuade, and when you smile, you can feel more positive.So, how can powerful poses help us in the workplace? Well, the study proposes that, simply by striking a powerful pose, you can better prepare yourself for difficult or stressful situations. Perhaps you’ve got a presentation that you’re nervous about gi ving, or a job interview coming up. Holding a power pose, even in private, can help you to approach these events in a confident and less-stressed way. In contrast, a weak pose with closed body language can make you perform poorly.12. If one pretends to be strong, _________.A．he is hiding his scare B．he may need others’ helpC．he is more likely to feel strong D．he may doubt what he is listening to13. How will people feel if they have high cortisol?A．Confident. B．Stressed.C．Bored. D．Defensive.14. Why are the examples mentioned in paragraph 4?A．To highlight the truth of the power pose. B．To show the body language of gorillas.C．To persuade people to be more positive. D．To explain the changes in body language.15. What may be the writer’s suggesti on for working?A．Keeping calm in difficult situations.B．Taking part in formal events actively.C．Using a powerful pose to help ourselves.D．Using more body language in job interviews.Diaries are wonderful objects that allow you to discuss your emotions, record dreams or ideas, and reflect on daily life in a safe, private space. 1617 .Think about everything that happened that day and record any highlights or feelings that stand out to you. Even if you had a pretty standard day, you might be surprised by deeper thoughts and feelings that come up as you write down details about your day.Contemplate your goals for the future and how to achieve them. 18 .Then go through each item on the list and write in detail about your plan to accomplish the goal. Breaking each goal up into smaller tasks that you can work on can make your goals feel less overwhelming.Jot down your current feelings or mood. Don’t worry about providing any context fo r your emotions, just focus on accurately describing what they are.

No? Neither do I. That’s because all these companies have changed their names.Brad’s Drink is now Pepsi. The mouthful that was Tokyo Telecommunications Engineering has become, simply, Sony. And BackRub is now known as Google. Though I must admit, the idea of a back massage does sound good right now!Joking aside, choosing the right name for your startup is a serious matter. Think of the case of a small Canadian company called Research In Motion, who in 1998 had ju st developed a hightech mobile phone that could send emails.They were torn between names like MegaMail and ProMail. Then they sought the help of consulting firm Lexicon, who specializes in brand names. They had other ideas. They brainstormed words connected to enjoyment and freshness. Someone said “strawberry”. Then someone else suggested “blackberry”.Lexicon’s boss added two capital letters, and there you have it: BlackBerry was born. Since then it has sold over 33 million handsets to customers around the world. Would it have sold as well if it was called MegaMail? Who knows?Recently, BlackBerry sales have been overtaken by Android phones and Apple’s iPhone. Lexicon’s founder David Plaeek is a big fan of simple brand names like those Apple chooses: the iPhone. They took a household word and by putting one letter in front of it, it ends up being game changing.So, for all you entrepreneurs out there, make sure you allow time to develop a catchy and memorable name. Think about what makes your company different. What’s your USP(独特卖点)？Maybe you can reflect that in your name.What about you？What would you call a company if you had one?31. Which of the following is the original name of BlackBerry?A. Brad’s Drink.B. Tokyo Telecommunications Engineering.C. BackRub.D. MegaMail and ProMail.32. What is Lexicon?A. A consulting company.B. A handset company.C. A drink company.D. A telecommunication company.33. What is Lexicon good at?A. Giving proper names to persons.B. Giving proper names to a brand.C. Making Android phones.D. Making its company different.34. What would be the best title for this passage?A. The Art of DesigningB. Apple’s iPhoneC. The Art of NamingD. Research in MotionBMany studies have hinted(暗示) that alcohol, in moderation, can do a heart good. But new research suggests that moderate drinkers are no more likely than nondrinkers to have clear arteries(动脉).The scientists looked at almost 2,000 patients who underwent CT test. Overall, there was no association between people’s drinking habits and their heart diseases. Researchers said an advantage of the new study is that it used objective measurements.“No prior studies have assessed the rel ationship between alcohol consumption and the presence of heart disease,” said lead researcher Dr Julia Karady.“We could not find any relation between the presence of heart disease and alcohol consumption,” Karady said.At the same time, she added, there was no evidence that heavier drinking raised the risk of heart disease.However, groups like the American Heart Association(AHA) warn against excessive drinking, because it can raise blood pressure and contribute to heart failure and other problems.In gen eral, “moderate” is defined as no more than one glass of alcohol a day for women, and no more than two a day for men. But those studies do not prove that alcohol, itself, protects the heart—in large part because alcohol also carries risks.35. What is the advantage of the new study?A. The scientists looked at almost 2,000 patients who underwent CT test.B. The new study used objective measurements.C. No prior studies have assessed the relationship.D. There was no evidence that heavier drinking raised the risk of heart disease.36. Why groups like the American Heart Association(AHA) are against excessive drinking?A. Because it can raise blood pressure and contribute to heart failure and other problems.B. Because there is some evidence that it will raise the risk of death.C. Because it can make you die immediately.D. Because it will lead to blindness.37. What is “moderate” defined in the text?A. No more than one glass of alcohol a day.B. No more than two glasses of alcohol a day.C. No more than three glasses of alcohol a day.D. No more than one glass of alcohol a day for women, and no more than two a day for men.CInteresting Exhibitions Held inFour Different Museums◆Name: the British MuseumPhone: 020-73238000Website: Opening hours: daily 10 a.m.—5:30 p.m.Price: FreeThis exhibition aims to show the mysteries of mummification.

But did you know the camel was native first to North America? 40,000, 000 years ago, the camel probably got to Africa by migrating to South America. This was a large land mass that broke in two. The easterm part we now call Africa. The journey took millions of years.Camels stand six to seven feet tall and weigh up to 1, 600 pounds. They have long, strong legs and powerful muscles. A camel can carry as much as a thousand pounds for a short distance. But for a long distance, its typical load is about 400 pounds.When a camel walks or runs, both legs on one side of its body move forward at the same time. Then the legs on the other side swing forward. This leg action makes for a rocking motion. Some riders get “seasick”. This may be part of the reason why camels are sometimes called “ships of the desert”.A camels back is broad. It is too broad to let both of the rider’s feet hang down. There is no use for stirrups(马镫).Well, as for your hands, you can hold the reins (缰绳) gently. Once y ouget used to the camels constant rocking motion, though, you can almost fall asleep.12.What can we learn from the first paragraph?A. Camels migrated to Africa 1, 600 years ago.B. The Sahara Desert is located in South Africa.C. Camels were native to North America 40 million years ago.D. Africa and North America once belonged to one continent.13. What do we know about camels?A.

Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the text?A. Stirrups are used to help the camel ridersB. Camels have a wider back than horsesC. People get “seasick” because camels are the “ships of the desert”.D. The camels rocking motion is caused by its long leg action.15. The author wrote the text mainly to________.A introduce B. argue C. compare D. entertain第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

But did you know the camel was native first to North America? 40,000, 000 years ago, the camel probably got to Africa by migrating to South America. This was a large land mass that broke in two. The easterm part we now call Africa. The journey took millions of years.Camels stand six to seven feet tall and weigh up to 1, 600 pounds. They have long, strong legs and powerful muscles. A camel can carry as much as a thousand pounds for a short distance. But for a long distance, its typical load is about 400 pounds.When a camel walks or runs, both legs on one side of its body move forward at the same time. Then the legs on the other side swing forward. This leg action makes for a rocking motion. Some riders get “seasick”. This may be part of the reason why camels are sometimes called “ships of the desert”.A camels back is broad. It is too broad to let both of the rider’s feet hang down. There is no use for stirrups(马镫).Well, as for your hands, you can hold the reins (缰绳) gently. Once y ouget used to the camels constant rocking motion, though, you can almost fall asleep.12.What can we learn from the first paragraph?A. Camels migrated to Africa 1, 600 years ago.B. The Sahara Desert is located in South Africa.C. Camels were native to North America 40 million years ago.D. Africa and North America once belonged to one continent.13. What do we know about camels?A. They weigh 1,600 kilograms.B. They are six to seven feet tall.C. They have short, strong legs.D. They can carry 1,000 pounds for a long journey.14. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the text?A. Stirrups are used to help the camel ridersB. Camels have a wider back than horsesC. People get “seasick” because camels are the “ships of the desert”.D. The camels rocking motion is caused by its long leg action.15. The author wrote the text mainly to________.A introduce B. argue C. compare D. entertain第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

AA bright yellow “M” tells you that it’s a McDonald’s restaurant; we also associ ate the cheerful theme tune “I’m Lovin’ It” with the famous US fast food.A brand’s music has a similar effect on its customers as its logo. “It appeals directly to the heart, where consumers’ decisions are really made,” wrote Marketing Week.This is probably why companies from around the world have recently focused more on building a “sonic (声音的) identity”.An example is the software company Tencent QQ. Since 2014, this Chinese company has been trying to trademark (申请商标权) its “Di-Di-Di-Di-Di-Di” notificatio n sound. The trademark was finally approved on Nov 15, which means that Tencent’s “Di-Di-Di-Di-Di-Di” notification sound is now protected by law and can only be used by QQ.Sound and music can also help tell stories. In Game of Thrones (《权力的游戏》) there are so many characters that it is difficult to memorize them all. So, they wrote melodies (旋律) specific to each family. The result is that characters do not only look familiar, but sound familiar too.“I think a huge reason why sound inspires action is that, o n an unconscious level, we are always listening,” Lauren Nagel, executive creative director at Pandora Media, told GeoMarketing. “You can close your eyes, but you can’t shut your ears.”1. What is the influence of a brand’s music, according to Marketing We ek?A. It creates a relaxing environment.B. It helps to get customers’ attention.C. It makes the brand better known.D. It encourages consumers to make quick decisions.2. The example of Tencent QQ is mainly used to show ______.A. how companies value their sounds and musicB. the importance of trademark protectionC. the lasting impact of a brand’s musicD. what makes a good notification sound3. How does music help Game of Thrones?A. It helps to create more impressive scenes.B. It tells about the characters’ personalities.C. It suggests that important things are coming.D. It makes the characters easier to remember.BPerhaps no one knows the power of imagination better than Chinese writer Liu Cixin. Until four years ago, Liu worked full-time as a computer engineer at a power plant in Shanxi province. He only wrote science fiction in his spare time. But it was during this time that Liu’s imagination took flight. He did what he might never have the chance to do in real life –wander in space, fight with aliens, and visit planets light-years away.But even with such a powerful imagination, Liu, 55, probably hadn’t expected that he would become the first Asian to win the Hugo Award, science fiction’s highest prize, in 2015. Perhaps neither did he think that former US president Barack Obama would read his novel The Three-Body Problem, nor that on Nov 9 in Washington DC, he would win the 2018 Arthur C. Clarke Award for Imagination in Service to Society. It’s the first time a Chinese writer has ev er won the award.In his acceptance speech, Liu said that he owed his imagination to Arthur C. Clarke (1917-2008), a famous UK sci-fi author. He said that reading Clarke’s 1968 classic novel 2001: A Space Odyssey in the early 1980s had a great effect on him.“My mind opened up like never before. I felt like a narrow river finally seeing the sea,” Liu said. “That night, in my eyes, the starry sky was completely different from the past. For the first time in my life, I was awed (使……敬畏) by the mystery of the universe.”But no matter how far away Liu’s imagination takes him, somehow his novels always stay rational.In The Three-Body Problem, for example, Liu tells a tale of aliens invading Earth. But unlike other alien stories, Liu talks more about relationships between civilizations(文明), rules of survival, and the meanings of life. And in The Wandering Earth, Liu looks ahead to the day when our solar system comes to an end and humans have to look for a new place to live. However, all his visions and solutions are based on “hard science”. Liu’s works aren’t simply daydreams.4. What do we know about Liu Cixin?A. He became a full-time writer when he was young.B. He dreamed about wandering in space from childhood.C. He is the first Asian to win the Arthur C. Clarke Award.D. He is the first Chinese winner of the Hugo Award.5. Liu Cixin’s words are used mainly to show ______.A. his interest in mysteries of the universeB. his love of reading science fictionC. his confusion when he started writingD. his feeling after reading Clarke’s work6. Why did the author mention The Three-Body Problem and The Wandering Earth?A. To compare the different writing styles in the two books.B. To explain how Liu Cixin came up with his ideas.C. To show that Liu Cixin has a powerful imagination.D. To prove that Liu Cixin’s works relate science to reality.7. What’s the text mainly about?A. Liu Cixin’s achievements and writing style.B. Liu Cixin’s contributions to science fiction.C. How Liu Cixin became a sci-fi writer.D. How Liu Cixin started a new sci-fi style.CGiving generously and receiving gratefully make it easier to live happily with others. Yet, why do we have such difficulty accomplishing these things in our relationships? I think people refuse to be generous with others because they fear being used.For example, my husband and I have family members who only contact us when they need money. We usually accept their requests, but we rarely receive a “thank you”. Most people would say that my husband and I are being used. But when we give, we shouldn’t be giving for the purpose of getting gratitude. Rather, we should be giving because it’s a good thing to do.Everything that we have, from our ability to wake up each morning to the money in our bank account, is a gift from the world. In return, the world asks us to use these gifts to help others, either by giving them our time or our resources. The good news is that when we live our lives being nice to others, our lives run more smoothly.If you’re gen erous, yes, some people will use you. But if you practice being generous, most of your relationships will improve. And at the same time, we should remember to receive gratefully. I truly believe that you cannot say “thank you” enough.So often we get lazy about expressing gratitude. Parents can feel unappreciated by their children, and teachers can feel unappreciated by their students. Just because a task is part of someone’s job description doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t thank them for it.Words of appreciation make others feel good about themselves like nothing else. It’s good for us to say “thank you” because we often need to tell ourselves how lucky we are.If you are looking for a way to improve your life, I can give you one: Give generously and receive gratefully.8. The author mentions her family members in the article mainly to explain ______.A. why we should give even if we feel we are being usedB. why people have trouble expressing gratitudeC. what makes people refuse to offer helpD. why it’s necessary to express gratitude9. According to the author, why should we be grateful to those who help us?A. It can bring us good luck.B. Words of gratitude make people happy.C. It’s not other people’s duty to help us.D. All we normally get are gifts from the world.10. The author wrote this article mainly to ______.A. tell the importance of generosityB. persuade people to give generously and receive thankfullyC. show how to express our gratitude to othersD. give tips on how to improve other p eople’s lives第二节 (共5小题：每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
