I__23__(understand)staycation in a wrong way.Evidently,my tendency__24__(take)a break without a plan is unlikely to produce a restorative effect.Instead,one should make good preparations for that

typicalfeature of a traditional home in southern and eastern China.Skywellswere designed to reduce temperature in buildings well beforeair-conditioning existed.When wind blows above a skywell house,itcan enter the indoor space through the opening.Because outdoor airis often cooler than indoor air,the incoming wind travels down thewalls to the lower stories and creates__31__by replacing

certain foods give us so much__42___?And what can be said about the kinds of foods we consider most comforting?Science tells us that taste and nutritional content affect how foods make us feel,but certain foods are especially___43___satisfying for reasons that have little to do with their taste or nutritional content.Much of the happiness we get from our favorite foods comes from the memories they stimulate for us and the people we're with while we__44___them.Past and present__45__shape the foods we find comfortingOften,we love food because we have___46___memories associated with it.My

processing smell directly connects to the amygdala,a brain region that processes emotions,and the hippocampus,which handles memory.And our memory for smells is__49_and precise, especially when it

orunfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C and D.Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have read.(A)Katalin Kariko and Drew Weissman,who together identified a slight chemical change to messenger RNA,were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine this year.Dr.Karikó,the13l woman to win the prize,had come to the United States from Hungary two decades earlier when her research program there ran out of money.She was preoccupied by mRNA,which provides instructions to cells to make proteins.Defying the decades-old belief that mRNA was clinically unusable,she hold the view that it would stimulate medical innovations.She and Dr.Weissman had their first chance mecting over a copy machine at the University of Pennsylvania in1998.At the time,Dr.Weissman was desperate for new approaches to a vaccine(疫苗)against H.IV.,which had long proved impossible to defend against.A physician who had tried and failed for years to develop a treatment for AIDS,he wondered if he and Dr. Kariko could team up to make an H.I.V.vaccine.For years,they were at a loss.Mice vaccinated with mRNA became inactive.Countless experiments failed.They wandered down one dead end after another.But eventually,the scientists discovered that cells protect their own mRNA with a specific chemical modification(修饰).So they tried making the same change to mRNA manufactured in the lab before vaccinating it into cells.It worked.At first,other scientists were largely uninterested in taking up that new approach to vaccination.But two biotech companies soon took notice:Moderna,in the United States,and BioNTech,in Germany.Then the coronavirus emerged.Almost instantly,Drs.Kariko and Weissman's work came together with several factors of different research to put vaccine makers ahead of the game in developing shot.Brian Ferguson,an immunologist at the University of Cambridge,said.“The work of Katalin Kariko and Drew Weissman in the years prior to2020prevented tens of millions of deaths and helped the world recover from the worst pandemic in a century.They richly deserve this recognition."56.The underlined word"defying”(paragraph2)is closest in meaning to"_________.A.challengingB.confirmingC.re-emphasizingD.stating57.Which of the following statements is TRUE about Dr.Kariko and Dr.Weissman's research?A.They teamed up for the treatment for AIDS in Hungary.B.They protected their mRNA with a chemical modification.C.They persevered until they made a change to lab-made mRNA,D,They manufactured mRNA in mice despite their countless failures.58.According to Brian Ferguson,Dr.Kariko and Dr.Weissman deserve the recognition becauseA.they took no notice of others'ignoranceB.they caught attention of two biotech companiesC.their work helped avoid the loss of countless livesD.their work prevented the outbreak of the pandemic59.Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A.Chemical Changes Identified in the PandemicB.Approaches Adopted to Defend Against H.I.VC.Nobel Prize Awarded to Covid Vaccine PioneersD.mRNA Manufactured in a University Lab in USA(B)IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDSThe rice cooker can be used by children aged from8years and above and persons with reduced physical,sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge

a legal case against Meta,the parent company of Facebook,Instagram,WhatsApp and Messenger,insisting that the company knowingly used features on its platforms to cause children to overuse them.The accusations in the lawsuit raise a deeper question about behavior:Are young people becoming addicted to social media and the internet?Here's what the research has found.②David Greenfield,a psychologist and founder of the Center for Internet and Technology Addiction in West Hartford,Conn.,said the devices tempt users with some powerful approaches. One is“intermittent reinforcement,"which creates the idea that a user could get a reward at any time.But when the reward comes is unpredictable.Adults are easily influenced,he noted,but young pcople are particularly at risk,because the brain regions that are involved in resisting temptation and reward are not nearly as developed in children and teenagers as in adults. Moreover,the adolescent brain is especially accustomed to social connections,and“social media is all a perfect opportunity to connect with other people.”③For many years,the scientific community typically defined addiction in relation to substances, such as drugs,and not behaviors,such as gambling or internet use.That has gradually changed.In 2013,the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders,the official reference for mental health conditions,introduced the idea of internet gaming addiction.④A subsequent study explored broadening the definition to"internet addiction."The author suggested further exploring diagnostic criteria and the language,for instance,noting that terms like“problematic use”and even the word"internet"were open to broad interpretation,given the many forms the information and its delivery can take.⑤Dr.Michael Rich,the director of the Digital Wellness Lab at Boston Children's Hospital,said he discouraged the use of the word"addiction"because the internet,if used effectively and with limits,was not merely useful but also essential to everyday life.⑥Greenfield agreed that there clearly are valuable uses for the internet and that the definition of how much is too much can vary.But he said there also were obvious cases where immoderate use disturbs school,sleep and other vital aspects of a healthy life.Too many young consumers"can't put it down,"he said."The internet,including social media like Meta,are the drugs affecting the mind.”63.What was Meta accused of?A.It added problematic features to its platform.B.It started a discussion to mislead young people.C.It tempted children to use social media too much.D.It conducted illegal research on its parent company.64.According to David Greenfield,users tend to be addicted to social media and the internet due to_______.A.their under-developed brainB.the random pattern of rewardsC.their desire to be socially connectedD.the possibility of escaping from reality65.What can be concluded about the study introduced in Paragraph4?A.Addiction is something about behaviors instead of substances.B.The online language can be interpreted from a broad perspective.C.Current diagnostic criteria of"internet addiction”isn't satisfactory.D.There should be an agreement on the definition of the word"internet".66.Dr.Michael Rich and David Grecnfield both agree thatA.proper use of the internet does good to childrenB.the internet is to blame for disturbing healthy lifeC.there are cases against immoderate use of the internetD.the word"addiction"is improperly used on the internetSection CDirections:Read the following passage.Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box.Each sentence can be used only once.Note that there are two more sentences than you need.A.Do I even want them?On whose clock?B.Why should you challenge that secret timeline of milestones in your head?C.This time,quitting her job led to her first album,television appearances and sold-out shows.D.Instead of feeling pressure to hit life events on someone else's timeline,maybe it's fine to make our own.E.People are feeling like they're falling behind,when in fact they're probably doing exactly what they should.F.She spent years feeling like an outsider and failure as she watched her peers rise in school and work figuring she'd never catch up.Defining Success on Your Own Terms“You go to college right out of high school.That's the rule,right?”says Nikki Ivey,a sales trainer and consultant outside Jacksonville,Fla.However,it's not the case for her.Actually,she got her undergraduate degree at28.________67________One by one,she missed the milestones she'd envisioned in some imaginary dream life: earning six figures by30,buying a house by35.Then she hit one—attaining a high-level executive position in a company.She didn't love the job.She did love sitting around the dinner table laughing with her kids."________68________"she asked herself.She ended up leaving the job,and started to wonder about all those milestones.Danielle Ponder had a career as a lawyer before dedicating herself to singing full time. Working as a public defender in Rochester,N.Y.,Danielle Ponder would frequently Google, "Did anyone make it after the age of35?”At one point,she quit her day job,only to return a year and a half later,due to the pandemic and disappointing bookings.On the last day of2021,five days before her40birthday,she tried again._________69________“I don't know if I could survive this happening to me at19,"she says.She thinks her insecure teen self wouldn'thave handled the stress of the public eye well.It can be hard to make a transition later in life._______70_______IV.Summary WritingDirections:Read the following passage.Summarize the main idea and the main point(s)of the passage in no more e your own words as far as possible.Why companies are hiring'prompt engineers?With the new generative AI tools,like ChatGPT,anyone can put in a prompt—type in a fewwords and get a result.But that doesn't mean that the results will be relevant or accurate.The key is putting in the right prompt.That's why some businesses are now hiring prompt engineers-people with the skills,background and practice to talk to so-called large-language Al systems effectively-and why many people expect prompt engineering to be a desirable skill for many kinds of workers to add to their resumés.In general,the more detailed the request,the closer the response will come to what the user is looking for.But the most effective prompt engineering goes beyond adding detail.For one thing,adding the right detail to get the best response is crucial.Also,there are many ways to guide how an AI system presents the information it finds,depending on the goal—telling it to write in a certain style or for a certain audience,for instance.Each tool also has particular capabilities and limitations that users can learn to tackle.And the best results often come from an extended conversation with the Al,reacting to what it produces and asking for refinements.Even for people applying to jobs that don't clearly mention prompt engineering,having this skill could become essential for all sorts of roles.Art directors could use generative AI to outline ideas,and marketers could use it to develop new slogans.Software engineers could use it to find problems with their wyers could use it to research a piece of law.This is going to be a foundational skill that all of us need to know.The through line is when you learn a new skill,you can take it in any direction you like.第Ⅱ卷(共40分)V.TranslationDirections:Translate the following sentences into English,using the words given in the brackets.72.参观这家博物馆能带你回到20世纪30年代。

While there are emojis of almost every kind imaginable, from dinosaurs to joyful tears and eggplants, there is no emoji for forgiveness. Seeing the need to show understanding, aFinnish group decided it was time for a "forgiveness" emoji.Every year, the Unicode Consortium, which sets the standards, adds new emojis to the emoji keyboard on mobile phones and computers. In 2019, the Forgivemoji campaign was launched. Forgivemoji's site made an open call to the public to give their designs for a new forgiveness emoji, with the goal of presenting the symbol to the Unicode Consortium and getting it accepted by people.Tuomo Pesonen, communications director of the Unicode Consortium, explained why the forgiveness emoji isindispensablein today's world. “In our modern communication culture, emojis are an important way of expressing human feelings beyond words.” The campaign gained popularity, reaching over two million people around the world. They received many designs, including a bandaged heart, two holding hands, and people from different cultures hugging.After hundreds of people offered their ideas for this emoji, the winner was announced in February 2020. Former Finnish president Tarja Halonen was selected to choose the winner as she has been important in building bridges between people. The emoji that will be presented to the Unicode Consortium is an image of two hands giving a thumbs-up symbol in front of a heart. If the Unicode Consortium accepts the design, it will become available to the public in late 2021.The Forgivemoji campaign goes far beyond having a strong influence on social media.

Finnish people explore the stories of emojisCThe British poet Matthew Byrne moved to Beijing in 2013 and felt that the capital city's poetry scene was lacking．His obsession（痴迷）for starting poetryevents led to the foundation of the Spittoon Collective in May 2015．“At that time，the literary activity in Beijing was The Bookworm based in Sanlitun，”Byrne says．While some of Beijing's literary institutions would go on to close in the fall of 2019，Spittoon would continue to grow as a community for poets and writers，as well as musicians and others in the creative scene．Byrne describes the Spittoon Collective as a platform for people to share ideas，from literary works to different forms of art，with projects developing from the creative energy within the community．Spittoon originally started as a poetry night at the Mado Bar in Dongcheng District 's Baochao Hutong．Byrne says，“In Beijing，you have these wonderful hutongs，ancient structures where you can walk down and visit cool bars，so I thought it would be good to have a poetry event as it seemed like poetry belonged naturally to this area．”He adds，“The objective now is to discover Chinese voices and broadcast them to the rest of the world．Wecreate a kindof theme park-like atmosphere where every Thursday is occupied by a different literary style or art form．”The readings would mainly be in English，but with an international community，a new section called“Poetry-in-Translation”was started，which featured works in Chinese，French，Arabic，Russian，Spanish and other languages．Joining organized activities like Spittoon can be a major help for those caught up in a boring life．And it's especially important for the people who have moved to China as they need to buildnew relationships while living in a different country．8.

That winter, my mother and my stepfather moved our family toSouthern California. My brother and I were leaving our ruralAlabamabehind. This would be our first New Year away fromAlabama. My mother took toCalifornialike a swan to a royal lake. My athletic little brother, Paul, was keyed up at a climate that allowed him to go to the beach whenever he wanted.I, however, was a fat child with heavy southern pronunciation. My first day in the new class, I introduced myself in a low voice. The moment I opened my mouth to speak, the whole class burst into laughter, “He talks funny.” It was so frustrating that I went to place a call to Granny Smith after school, who was my biggest support,But I didn’t get through.On Sunday evening, the phone rang. It was Granny. She often took advantage of the discounted long-distance rates on Sundays. She said she’d shipped a New Year package. Sure enough, it arrived. Surprised at the box, large enough to hold a small refrigerator, we eagerly tore it open. The smell of Granny’s house filled the room: a combination of fried meat, sausages, furniture polish and decorations. Her house was tiny and always filled withtackyholiday decorations and homemade food before New Year. But in my childhood eyes, it was precious and fantastic.There were countless tins and containers.

I loved it, wore it for years, and haven’t had another one since it stopped ticking a decade ago. Why? Because I don’t need one. I have a mobile phone and I’m always near someone with an iPod or something like that. All these devices (装置) tell the time — which is why, if you look around, you’ll see lots of empty wrists; sales of watches to young adults have been going down since 2007. This is ridiculous. Expensive cars go faster than cheap cars. Expensive clothes hang better than cheap clothes. But these days all watches tell the time as well as all other watches. Expensive watches come with extra functions — but who needs them? How often do you dive to 300 metres into the sea or need to find your direction in the area around the South Pole? So why pay that much of five years’ school fees for watches that allow you to do these things?If justice were done, the Swiss watch industry should have closed down when the Japanese discovered how to make accurate watches for a five-pound note. Instead the Swiss reinvented the watch, with the aid of millions of pounds’ worth of advertising, as a message about the man wearing it. Rolexes are for those who spend their weekends climbing icy mountains; a Patek Philippe is for one from a rich or noble family; a Breitling suggests you like to pilot planesacross the world.Watches are now classified as “investments” (投资). A 1994 Philippe recently sold for nearly £ 350,000, while 1960s Rolexes have gone from £ 15,000 to £ 30,000 plus in a year. But a watch is not an investment. It’s a toy for self-satisfaction, a matter of fashion. Prices may keep going up — they’ve been rising for 15 years. But when offashion. Prices may keep going up — they’ve been rising for 15 years. But when fashion moves on, the owner of that £ 350,000 beauty will suddenly find his pride and joy is no more a good investment than my childhood Times.4. The author don’t need another watch because ________.A. he don’t like wearing a watchB. he has mobile phone and can ask someone for helpC. he has no sense of timeD. he thinks watches too expensive5. It seems ridiculous to the writer that________.A. expensive watches with unnecessary functions still sellB. expensive clothes sell better than cheap onesC. cheap cars don’t run as fast as expensive onesD. people dive 300 metres into the sea6. What can be learnt about Swiss watch industry from the passage?A. It wastes a huge amount of money in advertising.B. It’s hard for the industry to beat its competitors.C. It targets rich people as its potential customers.D. It’s easy for theindustry to reinvent cheap watches.7. Which would be the best title for the passage?A. Timex or Rolex?B. My Childhood TimexC. Watches? Not for Me!D. Watches----a Valuable CollectionCOne day when I was 5, my mother criticized me for not finishing my rice and I got angry. I wanted to play outside and not to be made to finish eating my old rice. In my angry motion to open the screen door (纱门) with my foot, I kicked back about a 12-inch part of the lower left hand corner of the new screen door. But I had no regret, for I was happy to be playing in the backyard with my toys.Today, I know if my child had done what I did, I would have criticized my child, and told him about how expensive this new screen door was, and I would have delivered a spanking (打屁股) for it. But my parents never said a word. They left the corner of the screen door pushed out, creating an opening, a crack in the defense against unwanted insects.For years, every time I saw that corner of the screen, it would remind me of my mistake from time to time.For years, I knew that everyone in my family would see that hole and remember who did it. For years, every time I saw a fly buzzing in the kitchen, I would wonder if it came in through the hole that I had created with my angry foot. I would wonder if my family members were thinking the same thing, silently blaming me every time a flying insectentered our home, making life more terrible for us all. My parents taught me a valuable lesson, one that a spanking or stern (严厉的) words perhaps could not deliver. Their silent punishment for what I had done delivered a hundred stern messages to me. Aboveall, it has helped me become a more patient person and not burst out so easily.8. When the author damaged the door, his parents _______.A. scolded him for what he had doneB. left the door unrepairedC. told him how expensive it wasD. gave him a spanking9. How did the author feel every time he saw the damaged door?A. He felt ashamed of his uncontrolled anger at that time.B. He found that his family members no longer liked him.C. He found it destroyed the happy atmosphere at his home.D. He felt he had to work hard to make up for (弥补) the damage.10. The experience may cause the author _______.A. to hide his anger away from othersB. not to go against his parents’ willC. to have a better control of himselfD. not to make mistakes in the future11. What of the following is the main idea of this passage?A. Adults should ignore their children’s bad behavior.B. Parents shouldn’t educate their children.C. What is the best way to become a more patient person?D. Silent punishment may have a better effect on educating people.DDear Jack,I remember the moment— it truly hit me that your autism (自闭症) lasted forever. I had already mentally planned our trips up north with the boys. I was going to spend endless hours playing baseball with you— like Grandpa did with me.When we said goodbye to kindergarten I knew it was real. I spent some time being sad. Now you are 8. You still have no words. We have never had one of those father-son moments I pictured when you were a baby. But I'm learning that's OK. I still have unbelievable things to offer as your dad, even if they weren't the things I originally expected.You have taught me to be patient. You have taught me that it's OK to be different and to be sad when life doesn't go as planned. You have taught me that it is OK to talk about those feelings and fight for what is right. Stand up and say this is wrong, and encourage others to stand up for you and say the same.My job on this earth is to create a world for you and other kids like you. Be the voice you don't have, and build the kind of community which I want to see you grow up in. I used to shy away from contacting people with disabilities or just not consider them. Before you were born, I was so caught up in my own world that I probably wouldn't have even noticed. Now, I see things differently. I notice. You did that for me. And hope my example will do that for others.Your mom and I have spent 8 years trying to find your voice. And honestly, we don't know if we ever will. I promise you I will spend my life keeping you safe and making this world better for you.12. To whom is the text written?A. The author's son.B. The author's wife.C. The author's father.D. The author's friend.13. What can be learned about the author?A. He's at a loss what to do to help Jack.B. He's to blame for Jack s present condition.C. He has changed his attitude to the disabled.D. He hasn't accepted the reality up to now.14. How does the author sound in the text?A. Sympathetic.B. Caring.C. Regretful.D. Indifferent.15. In which section of a magazine may this text appear?A. Science.B. Entertainment.C. Sports.D. Relationship.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

little,my entire family would reunite on almost every traditional festival to have dinner.While the grown-ups were discussing about something(22)_____our comprehension, we kids would be scuttling around or even crouching under the table to play hide and seek.When I got a bit older,my aunt brought back her boyfriend,a tall and shy man,and my grandma joyfully added another seat to the round table.It seemed a little bit(23)_____(crowded), but we all felt closer to this new family member.When I was12,my grandpa passed away because of cancer,but when the entire family reunite once again,his

of our families, (25)_____(represent)our sentiment and attachment to our families.As a matter of fact,in China, almost everything can be solved over a round table.The marriage vows between a loving couple,the mourning of the deceased,the negotiations between business partners and a state banquet to another president from another country(26)_____all happen on a same round table.So I started to wonder (27)_____is this round table to us and its true significance starts to unfold in front of me.The food on the table may change with time;the people sitting beside it may come and go;thereasons why we come together may be various,but the sensation behind it remains,year after year, the same.Every year,an annual epic migration takes place in China.Hundreds of people,men and women, young and

Year of the Dragon or the Loong?As communities worldwide,both within and outside China,participate in diverse festivities to welcome the Year of the Dragon,the mythical creature has become the subject of debate.Some call it a dragon,while others prefer the term“loong”,31a discussion about the most accurate translation of this symbol of traditional Chinese culture.Do dragon and loong convey the same meaning,or do they represent different creatures with 32connotations?In Western culture,33by Greek mythology,the dragon is frequently portrayed as the guardian of treasure,embodying a symbol of greed and destruction.In China, however,the dragon is very positive.It’s an animal that helps humanity and that is34,with emperors often referring to themselves as the“true dragon sons of heaven”.In the Chinese language,more than100idioms incorporate the word“dragon”,35 conveying positive connotations such as excellence,prestige,royalty,36and good luck.The term“dragon”remains a pervasive and37element in everyday conversations.When people express admiration for a son-in-law,they often refer to him as“a swift son-in-law who rides the dragon”.During weddings,the groom is usually referred to as the dragon and the bride the phoenix.Why has the loong been translated into English as dragon?In the early19th century,British missionary Robert Morrison compiled the first Chinese-English,English-Chinese dictionary in history,in which he translated the Chinese loong as dragon.The impact of this dictionary was profound,leading to the widespread adoption of the term dragon in the nguage38 influences human minds,and as a result,Westerners perceive it intriguing that the Chinese associatethemselves with the concept of dragons.In their culture,dragons are symbols of malevolence, contributing to a cultural distortion and misinterpretation.With China becoming more39into the global community and the world becoming more familiar with the Chinese zodiac sign,has the time come to translate the Chinese dragon to loong? The issue of translation may seem trivial.What matters more is conveying the true essence of the zodiac dragon.The Chinese people place great importance on welcoming people globally to immerse themselves in the Year of the Dragon’s celebratory spirit and share in the Spring Festival’s joy, warmth and40.III.Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections:For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A,B,C and D.Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.resistSection BDirections:Read the following three passages.Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C and D.Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)When John Todd was a child,he loved to explore the woods around his house,observing how nature solved problems.A dirty stream,for example,often became clear after flowing through plants and along rocks where tiny creatures lived.When he got older,John started to wonder if this process could be used to clean up the messes people were making.After studying agriculture,medicine,and fisheries in college,John went back to observing nature and asking questions.Why can certain plants trap harmful bacteria?Which kinds of fish can eat cancer-causing chemicals?With the right combination of animals and plants,he figured,maybe he could clean up waste the way nature did.He decided to build what he would later call an eco-machine.The task John set for himself was to remove harmful substances from some sludge(污泥).First, he constructed a series of clear fiberglass tanks connected to each other.Then he went around to local ponds and streams and brought back some plants and animals.He placed them in the tanks and waited.Little by little,these different kinds of life got used to one another and formed their own ecosystem.After a few weeks,John added the sludge.He was amazed at the results.The plants and animals in the eco-machine took the sludge as food and began to eat it!Within weeks,it had all been digested,and all that was left was pure water.Over the years,John has taken on many big jobs.He developed a greenhouse—like facility that treated sewage(污水)from1,600homes in South Burlington.He also designed an eco-machine to clean canal water in Fuzhou,a city in southeast China.“Ecological design”is the name John gives to what he does.“Life on Earth is kind of a box of spare parts for the inventor,”he says.“You put organisms in new relationships and observe what’s happening.Then you let these new systems develop their own ways to self-repair.”56.What can we learn about John from the first two paragraphs?A.He was fond of traveling.B.He enjoyed being alone.C.He longed to be a doctor.D.He had an inquiring mind.57.Why did John put the sludge into the tanks?A.To feed the animals.B.To build an ecosystem.C.To test the eco-machine.D.To protect the plants.58.What is the author’s purpose in mentioning Fuzhou?A.To review John’s research plans.B.To erase doubts about John’s invention.C.To compare John’s different jobs.D.To show an application of John’s idea.59.What is the basis for John’s work?anisms need water to survive.B.Nature can repair itself.C.Life on Earth is diverse.D.Most tiny creatures live in groups.(B)We should all have at least one fire extinguisher somewhere in our home,but it’s not enough to simply keep one under the kitchen sink.If there is a fire,your safety—and the safety of your home —depends on knowing how to use that fire extinguisher correctly.In case your fire extinguisher has been sitting around collecting dust,here’s everything you need to know before brushing it off and fighting a fire in your home the right way.Choose the right fire extinguisherThe first thing you need to know is the different classifications of fires.Most household fires fall into one of the following categories:Class A:Fires fueled by solid combustibles like wood,paper,and cloth.Class B:Fires fueled by flammable liquids such as oil and gasoline.Class C:Fires started or fueled by faulty wiring and appliances.Class D:Fires started or fueled by cooking oils,animal fats,and vegetable fats.All fire extinguishers are labeled to indicate which classes of fire they are designed to combat. Most household fire extinguishers are considered multipurpose and labeled for use in A,B,and C classes.Class K extinguishers are heavier duty and will need to be bought separately.Household fire extinguishers are also rated for the size of fire that they can safely handle.The higher the rating,the larger the fire the extinguisher can put out.Higher-rated extinguishers are often heavier.Steps for proper extinguisher useOnce you understand the different types of fire extinguishers and their uses,you need to be able to properly operate one.Step1:Identify a clear exit/escape routeBefore operating the fire extinguisher,make sure you have a clear evacuation path.If you cannot put out the fire,you’ll need to make a safe exit.Also,make sure everyone else is being evacuated from the building.Step2:Call the fire departmentEven if the fire appears manageable,you should always have the fire department on the way. Once firefighters arrive,they can double-check whether the fire has been completely extinguished. Step3:Stand backFace the fire and keep your back to the clear exit.You should stay between1.8and2.5meters away from the flames as you prepare to operate the fire extinguisher.Step4:Operate the extinguisherIt can be difficult to think clearly during an emergency.Thankfully,there is a long-standing acronym(首字母缩略词)—PASS—to help you recall the steps involved in operating your fire extinguisher.P:Pull the pin(保险销)on the fire extinguisher.A:Aim low.Point the nozzle at the base of the fire instead of the flames.S:Squeeze the handle or lever to discharge the extinguisher.S:Sweep the nozzle back and forth until the flames are extinguished.Step5:Keep an eye on thingsAfter the flames appear to be out,continue to watch the fire area to make sure it doesn’t reignite. If the fire does start up again,repeat the“PASS”process.Step6:Get to a safe placeOnce the fire is out,or if you are unable to put it out,leave the scene.Find a place out of reach of the fire.60.According to the passage,what is the top priority in a fire emergency?A.Operate a fire extinguisher.B.Find out how to escape.C.Call the fire department.D.Escape and leave everything behind.61.The following pictures show the four steps of the“PASS”process.According to the passage, what is their correct order?A.③②④①B.④③①②C.③④①②D.④②③①62.According to the passage,after a fire appears to have been extinguished,we should_________.A.inspect the fire area carefullyB.repeat the“PASS”processC.leave the fire area at onceD.have the fire department on the way(C)Journal editors decide what gets published and what doesn’t,affecting the careers of other academics and influencing the direction that a field takes.You’d hope,then,that journals would do everything they can to establish a diverse editorial board,reflecting a variety of voices,experiences, and identities.Unfortunately a new study in Nature Neuroscience makes for disheartening reading.The team finds that the majority of editors in top psychology and neuroscience journals are male and based in the United States:a situation that may be amplifying existing gender inequalities in the field and influencing the kind of research that gets published.Men were found to account for60%of the editors of psychology journals.There were significantly more male than female editors at each level of seniority,and men made up the majority of editors in over three quarters of the journals.Crucially,the proportion of female editors was significantly lower than the overall proportion of women psychology researchers.The differences were even starker in the neuroscience journals:70%of editors were male,and men held the majority of editorial positions in88%of journals.In this case,the proportion of female editors was not significantly lower than the proportion of female researchers working inneuroscience—a finding that reveals enduring gender disparities in the field more broadly.Based on their results,the team concludes that“the ideas,values and decision-making biases of men are overrepresented in the editorial positions of the most recognized academic journals in psychology and neuroscience.”Gender inequality in science is often attributed to the fact that senior academics are more likely to be male,because historically science was male-dominated:it’s argued that as time goes on and more women rise to senior roles,the field will become more equal.Yet this study showed that even the junior roles in psychology journals tended to be held disproportionately by men,despite the fact that there are actually more female than male junior psychology faculty.This implies that a lack of female academics is not the problem.Instead,there are structural reasons that women are disadvantaged in science.Women receive lower salaries and face greater childcare demands,for instance,which can result in fewer publications and grants—the kinds of things that journals look for when deciding who to appoint.Rather than simply blaming the inequality of editorial boards on tradition,we should be actively breaking down these existing barriers.A lack of diversity among journal editors also likely contributes to psychology’s WEIRD problem.If journal editors are largely men from the United States,then they will probably place higher value on papers that are relevant to Western,male populations,whether consciously or not. 63.What would we expect an editorial board of an academic journal to exhibit in view of its important responsibilities?A.InsightB.DiversityC.ExpertiseD.Integrity64.What do we learn from the findings of a new study in Nature Neuroscience?A.The majority of top psychology and neuroscience journals reflect a variety of voices, experiences and identities.B.The editorial boards of most psychology and neuroscience journals do influence the direction their field takes.C.The majority of editors in top psychology and neuroscience journals have relevant backgrounds.D.The editorial boards of the most important journals in psychology and neuroscience are male-dominated.65.What can we infer from the conclusion drawn by the team of the new study on the basis of their findings?A.Male researchers have enough representation in the editorial boards to ensure their publications.B.Male editors of top psychology and neuroscience journals tend to be biased against their femalecolleagues.C.Women’s views are underrepresented in the editorial boards of top psychology and neuroscience journals.D.Female editors have to struggle to get women’s research articles published in academic journals.66.What does the author suggest we do instead of simply blaming the inequality of editorial boards on tradition?A.Strike a balance between male and female editorsB.Implement overall structural reformsC.Increase women's employment in senior positionsD.Enlarge the body of female academics Section CDirections:Complete the following passage by using the sentences given below.Each sentence can be used only once.Note that there are two more sentences than you need.A．The foot is red and swollen,pounding like a heart.B．The tubercular’s hollow cheeks were considered desirable look for women.C．We might dismiss gout as a ghost from a fable,which it was.D．If you are a gout sufferer,you are not alone.E．Nor is it any longer exclusive to rich white men.F．No one knows what’s behind the phenomenon.Gout(痛风):The Disease of KingsGout,once the disease of geniuses,conquerors and kings,now is affecting the masses.But comes at night,first as a fevered dream,then pain in darkness,the body turned rude animals.67 So strong is the sensitivity of this swollen big toe that the faintest footstep of a sympathetic visitor is a gunshot straight to the nerve.It will not help,at such as moment,to recall that Alexander the Great, Leonardo da Vinci,Isaac Newton reportedly suffered.68In the words of the17th-century French poet,Gout falls onto a poor man and then, horrified by her host’s ceaseless labor,did nothing in a building.Surely it’s a time of a less enlightened,more hierarchical(等级制的)age.We can laugh at from the safe distance of the present day.But the American critic Susan Sontag warned us against illness as myth.Gout is not a punishment,certainly not an embarrassment and,it is highly curable,if good treatment is followed. And the disease has not been limited to the past.69From the1960s to the1990s,the number of sufferers doubled in the United States,and that’s continued to rise.It is tempting to see gout as an annoying angel and come to punish greed.Mentioning the romantic aspect of tuberculosis(肺结核)in the19th century,Sontag argued that gout was contrary to tubercular.The gout-ridden were guilty of eating too much,while those dying of tubercular were themselves consumed from the inside.During that period,turning thinner from tubercular was taken as a sign of elegance,with poets considered unreliable if they weighed more than a hundred pounds, and so“it became rude to eat heartily”.Sontag also highlighted a strange social phenomenon.70Great men“grew fat,wrote novels and conquered continents”.IV.Summary WritingDirections:Read the following passage.Summarize the main idea and the main point(s)of the passage in no more e your own words as far as possible.71.How to Be a Successful Team Leader?Every well-organized team needs to have an outstanding leader with specific skills.Sometimes the leader’s abilities can come to affect the whole team.Although we students are still young,it’s never too early to cultivate leadership skills.A team consists of both leaders and followers.Neither side can exist and work effectively without the other.What is essential to the role of leader is the ability to unite the whole team.A great leader enables their team to achieve a common goal through the giving of clear directions and support.Meanwhile,everyone on a team also desires personal success,so a balance can be hard to strike.If a leader doesn’t have fierce determination,the followers will lose their confidence and things will not be done well.What’s more,a successful and charming leader ought to be able to handle interpersonal relationships well.They should be honest,fair,objective and impartial(公正的)when it comes to both rewards and punishments.These kinds of leaders are trustworthy,and thus,the working atmosphere will only come to be improved.They are role models who can have a strong influence on the whole team.To become a powerful leader at school,students have to take the initiative in connecting with their fellow students.Good communication skills allow people to build good relationships,which is an essential part of being a good leader.If you find it hard to express your ideas clearly to those who you collaborate with,it may be rather difficult for you to be a good leader.It’s a well-known fact that,whatever field you wish to work in,leadership skills are necessary for anyone who desires to have a successful career.So it’s never too early to train yourselves as promising future leaders.V.TranslationDirections:Translate the following sentences into English,using the words given in the brackets.72.两国间的友好关系建立在双向奔赴的基础上。

21．（6分）Bamboo is one of the world's most useful plants. For thousands of years, bamboo has been used in manydifferent ways-from food to medicine to clothing and, in small ways, as a building material.However, bamboo is not often used as a building material in the developed world. A professor at the University of Pittsburgh in Pennsylvania is trying to change that. The professor and his students are testing the strength of bamboo.They are testing how much pressure or weight it can take before breaking.Kent Harries is a professor at the University of Pittsburgh. Harries says that testing methods for bamboo need to be the same for all. They need to be standardized. Standardizing test methods for bamboo will help to bring the plant into common use. It will also give engineers and builders around the world a dependable standard.Harries says that bamboo is strong in nature. The strength of at least three species of bamboo is similar tosteel.Besides its strength, bamboo has other features that make it very useful in building. He says it is resilient(有弹力的), meaning it keeps its shape and strength even under pressure.Bamboo also grows quickly. Bamboo that is suitable for construction needs much less resources than wood. The harvest cycle of bamboo is about 3 years. Softwoods such as cedar, pine and spruce have a harvest cycle of about 10 years. And hardwoods that come from flowering plants such as oak and walnut need more than 30 years.Bamboo is widely used as food for panda bears. It is also used for flooring and window covers. However, for building, bamboo is not used much outside its native growing area. This is mostly because of its round shape. But there are other reasons too. People think -- or have the mentality--that bamboo is a low quality building material.1、What is the author mainly talking about in the passage?A．Make bamboo a common building material.B．Take advantage of bamboo in our everyday.C．Consider bamboo to be a common plant.D．Use bamboo to replace building materials.2、What is the purpose of what Kent Harries and his students did?A．To prove what is the most useful plant.B．To introduce bamboo to the developed world.C．To give engineers and builders some advice.D．To make sure of the strength of bamboo.3、What does Harries think of bamboo in the passage?A．Harries sees bamboo as a great building material.B．Harries thinks bamboo is as strong as steel.C．Harries sees bamboo as the most ideal Plant.D．Harries thinks bamboo has the reliable shape.4、What can be inferred from the passage?A．Bamboo Is an environmentally friendly building material.B．Bamboo material will go to the market in the soon future.C．Hardwoods are much more popular than softwoods.D．Bamboo grows not only faster but takes up less space.22．（8分）Inside WeWork’s New York City headquarters on a Thursday morning, a handful of kids are selling carrots and peppers. The children are members of WeWork’s fir st school, WeGrow, where farming is part of the curriculum. They are interacting with WeGrow employees browsing the goods. “How many carrots would you like?” one girl asks. “We take Apple Pay,” another shouts.Founded in 2010, We Work has made a name for itself as a global network of coworking spaces. WeGrow is WeWork’s newest enterprise (事业) and its first attempt in the education industry.WeGrow, a school which claims to grow “conscious leaders”，is inspired by the Montessori approach to learning that gives children the freedom to explore and choose their activities, so their nature of creativity and curiosity is preserved. But the goal is not to create next-generation CEOs. “Leadership is a bit of an exciting word for people,” said Rebekah, WeGrow’s founder and CEO, “We’ve seen children do such a thing forever —— running a lemonade stand every time , that’s what that is.”WeGrow opened in the fall last year. Currently, 46 kids are enrolled in classes from pre-kindergarten to fourth grade. The kids start every morning with live music, followed by yoga. They spend time in nature and choose to take either Hebrew or Mandarin courses. WeGrow students learn science, math, social studies and language arts. It also has a program for kids to connect with WeWork community members with careers in areas kids might be interested in. But the main concern is that standardized tests are not available to measure the students’ overall progress.They want to create an environment where people can work to make a life and not jus t a living, but that’s part of a larger mission to raise the world’s awareness towards creating a world where people are happy and fulfilled and living in a sharing state.1、What do we know about WeGrow from the text?A．It was founded in 2010.B．It is intended for kids of gifts.C．It aims to preserve kids’ nature.D．It got a lot of satisfaction from parents.2、Which of the following reflects the Montessori approach?A．All kids learn to run the lemonade stand.B．Students are allowed to establish markets in the yard.C．The school committee arranges students，activities.D．Students work hard academically to become CEOs.3、Why is it hard to measure students’ progress?A．Because there are so many courses.B．Because the students are of a wide age range.C．Because standardized tests have limitations.D．Because the school lacks professional testers.4、What can be a suitable title for the text?A．A Farming-featured schoolB．An Education-based BusinessC．Grow to be a Future LeaderD．Learn to Make a Life, not Just Living23．（8分）Ask people in the UK what the words “Sunday roast” mean to them, and they’ll probably take you back to their grandmothers’ dining rooms --–maybe with a few stories of “the greatest puddings” and “the best ever steak”. But now the traditional Sunday roast seems to have been left back in the old days. According to the Daily Mail, just one in 50 British families sits down to this weekly meal together.There are many reasons why the roast is becoming less popular. In the busy modern world, where breakfast is a slice of toast eaten on the way to work or school and lunch is a quick sandwich in front of the computer screen, people just don’t seem to have the time or patience to make a roast.And Sunday was once a day when people could easily go to the kitchen to cook. Nowadays, people are often out shopping or at the cinema until it’s far too late to start thinking about heating the oven(烤箱) up.However, a recent article from The Telegraph warned against being carried away by our tight schedules: “It would be a shame to let this fine old tradition disappear.”The Guardian further explained that the eating of the big meal is only the half of it. The Sunday roast also makes for relaxed morning activities in the kitchen, and the table becomes the perfect place to share good food and chat with family and friends. “For busy moms and dads, even if you can manage to turn off your mobile phone and the TV only once a week and turn the Sunday roast into a real family event, children can have fun cooking the food and clearing up together.”1、The best title for the passage is probably _____.A．Sunday—Best Time for FamilyB．Sunday Roast Dying OutC．It’s the Perfect Time for UsD．Let’s Sit Down Together2、Why do people pay less attention to Sunday roast?A．They have a busy lifestyle.B．They have no interest in cooking.C．They don’t think it worthwhile.D．They are living in the modern society.3、What does the underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refer to?A．A recent article.B．A traditional kitchen.C．The fine old tradition.D．Sunday morning activity.4、How does the author feel towards Sunday roast’s dying out?A．Doubtful. B．Positive.C．Sorry. D．Uncertain.24．（8分）By high school, T. J. was the most famous one in his town. I met him for the first time at a weekendle adership election. When I showed up, the community leaders gave me this overview of the attending students: “We have all the students here today, from the student president to T. J. Ware, the boy with the longest arrest record in the history of town.”At t he start of the election, he was standing against the back wall. He didn’t really join the discussion groups, or didn’t seem to have much to say. But slowly, the interactive games drew him in. The ice melted when the groups started building a list of positive and negative things that had occurred at school that year. T. J. had some definite comments on those situations. All of a sudden he was being treated like a leader. He knew something about poverty, hunger and hopelessness, and everyone was listening. By the end of the election, he had joined the Homeless Project team. The other students on the team elected him co-chairman of the team.But when T. J. showed up at school on Monday morning, he arrived to a firestorm. A group of teachers were protesting (抗议) to the school principal about his being elected co-chairman. They reminded the principal, “He’ll probably steal half the food.”Surprisingly, two weeks later, T. J. and his friends led a group to collect food. They created a school record：2,854 cans of food in just two hours. It was enough to fill the empty shelves in two neighborhood centers, and the food tookcare of needy families in the area for 75 days. The local newspaper covered the event with a full-page article the next day. The event he led now collects 9,000 cans of food in one day, taking care of 70 percent of the need for food for one year.Maybe you’ve heard the saying, “A bird with a broken wing will never fly as high.” T. J. reminds us that a birdwith a broken wing only needs mending. But once it has healed, it can fly higher than the rest.1、What was T. J. famous for when the author first met him?A．Collecting food. B．Making troubles.C．Being elected co-chairman. D．Showing up at the election.2、Which of the following is true?A．The groups welcomed T. J.’s opinions.B．T.
