The young son became very happy seeing the sky filled with colorful kites. He asked his father to get him a kite and a thread（线）with a roller so he could fly a kite, too. So the father went to the shop at the park where the festival was being held and bought a kite and a roll of thread for his son.Then the son started to fly a kite. Soon, his kite was high up in the sky. Aftera while, the son said, “Dad, it seems that the thread is stopping the kite from flying higher. If we break it, the kite will be free and will go flying even higher. Can we break it?” The father said nothing and cut the thread from the roller. The kite started to go a little higher. That made the son very happy.But then, slowly, the kite started to come down. And soon it fell down and landed on the top of an unknown building. The young son was surprised to see this. He had cut the kite loose of its thread so it could fly higher, but instead, it fell down. He asked his father, “ Dad, I thought that after cutting the thread, the kite could freely fly higher. Why did it fall down?”The father explained, “ Dear son, at the height of the life that we live, we often think some things are tying us down and that they are preventing us from going any higher. The thread was not holding the kite from going higher, but it was helping it stay higher when the wind slowed down. And when the wind picked up again, you helped the kite go higher and in the proper direction through the thread. And when we cut the thread, the kite fell down without the support you were providing through the thread.”25．Why did the son want to cut the thread of the kite?A． To help the kite fly higher.B． To get his father’s praise.C． To watch the kite fall freely.D． To see what would happen to the kite.26．From the father, what do we know about the kite thread?A． It controls the direction of the wind . B． It makes people who fly kites happy.C． It prevents the kite from flying higher. D．It helps the kite stay higher.27．Why didn’t the father refuse the son’s asking for cutting the thread at first? A． Because he wanted to give his son a lesson.B． Because he wanted to meet his son’s requirement.C． Because he wanted the kite to fly higher.D． Because he wanted to make his son proud.CA new study from brain researchers helps explain how the human brain developed, or changed over time, to allow people to be able to speak and write. This new researchmay also help people who are learning a new language.Michael Ullman, a professor at Georgetown University Medical School in Washington,D.C., is the lead researcher. He has been studying language learning for more than20 years.Ullman, Phillip Hamrick ( another researcher) and the rest of the team looked at data from 16 other studies on language. They found that people learn language using two memory systems: declarative （陈述性的）and procedural （程序性的）. Memorizing vocabulary, for example, is a declarative memory process. But learning grammar is, mostly, a procedural memory process.“Declarative memory, in humans at least, is what we think of as ‘learning memory’. Such as, ‘Oh, I remember what you said last night’ or things like that. And procedural motor memory is what we often call ‘motor memory’, such as how you learn to ride a bicycle,” says Professor Ullman. These procedural memory skills become so deeply learned that we are no longer aware that we are doing them.However, Ullman explains that the two long-term memory systems can share tasks. And, he adds, the adult brain uses the systems to learn language a bit differently from the way a child’s brain does it.“Adult learners of a second language tend to rely on learning the grammar in declarative memory early on. But finally, they become just like kids learning the grammar and they depend on procedural memory.”In other words, adult language learners may use their declarative memory for using grammar patterns. They think about it on purpose. For a child, the grammar may come more naturally. They don’t have to think about the grammar rules before speaking.In a statement to reporters, Ullman said he hopes the new research “will lead to exciting advances in our understanding of language, and in how both second language learning and language problems can be improved.”28. What can we learn from the text?A. People learn a second language by using declarative memory.B. People learn their native language by using procedural memory.C. People learn vocabulary by using declarative memory.D. People lean grammar only by using procedural memory.29. According to the text, which of the following is an example of using procedural memory?A. Remembering others’ promises.B. Remembering the story you read in a book.C. Remembering what the teacher taught you.D. Remembering how to drive a car.30. What is the difference between adult language learners and children?A. Adults need to think about the grammar rules before speaking.B. Children don’t have to learn the grammar while learning language.C. Adults learn the grammar in declarative memory all the time.D. Children can’t learn how to use the grammar during communication.31. What is Michael Ullman’s attitude to the research?A. Disappointed.B. Positive.C. Negative.D. Indifferent.DWe all need to eat and sometimes we all eat last-minute meals alone. Actually, eating alone at home or at a restaurant can be a very satisfying experience.However, a recent study from South Korean researchers suggests that frequently eating alone may lead to poor eating habits and poor food choices.The study found that men who ate alone more than twice a week had a greater risk of developing high blood pressure and being overweight. For children, eating with their families is not only about preventing bad things happening, but it is also about developing good ones.Several studies have looked at the long-term, effects that eating with family members has on a child. Experts say that these studies do not seem to prove a cause-and-effect relationship. However, they do suggest a strong link.In 2016, a research team looked at research from nearly three quarters of the world’s countries. Among the findings was the fact that students who share a main meal with their families are less likely to skip classes. They are also less likelyto abuse drugs and alcohol because they feel closer to their parents.Another study from the University of Montreal found that children who ate withtheir family members experienced long-term physical and mental （心理的）health benefits. Linda Pagani, one of the researchers, says, “These children were physicallyin better shape and drank fewer sugary soft drinks. These children also seemed tohave better social skills.”If you find too many of your mealtimes to be lonely events, experts suggest makingsmall changes.They suggest making room for at least one shared meal a week. And keep it simple.Even if dinner is a salad and a sandwich, it is still time for a family to be together.If mornings are less busy than evenings, start by making breakfast those in your socialcircle or neighborhood. Once a month, potluck dinners（聚餐）where everyone bringsa dish could be an easy way to start. If you work in an office, step out with a co-workerfor a bite to eat every once in a while, instead of eating at your desk every day. 32．What might happen if a man always eats meals alone？A. He may develop good eating habits.B. He may have a poorer dining experience.C. He is more likely to become overweight.D. HE will tend to achieve future success easily.33．What can we conclude from the 2016 research？A. Students eating with their family have a closer relationship with them.B. Three quarters of students in the study shared a meal with their parents.C. Students who skip classes might refuse to eat with their family.D. It proves a cause-and-effect relationship between eating with family and health. 34．According to Linda Pagani, what is the benefit of children eating with family？A. They might be able to keep in shape more easily.B. They might prefer sugary soft drinks.C. They might have a more developed brain.D. They might be better at social communication.35．What is the last paragraph mainly about?A. How to get out of the habit of eating alone.B. What people should do to eat healthily.C. Reasons why people should change their eating habits.D. Ways to keep a good relationship with one’s family members.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。

广东省广州市番禺区2023-2024学年高一上学期期末考试英语试题
广东省广州市番禺区2023-2024学年高一上学期期末考试英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解When it comes to Florida, most travelers think of its beautiful beaches. If you’re planning a trip to a beach in Florida with your kids, keep reading to find a lovely one.St. Augustine BeachThis beach is one of the only beaches in the state where you can motor in certain places while enjoying the views. Along the beach, there are picnic areas, a sand volleyball court, and plenty of local restaurants to enjoy. St. Augustine Beach is extremely busy in spring and summer because of the nearby colleges on break, so be sure to get to the beach early for a good spot.Fernandina BeachEvery year, thousands of people flood into the area during the Isle of Eight Flags Shrimp Festival, where you can try shrimp (虾) cooked in as many ways as Bubba talks about in the film Forrest Gump. It’s also desirable for families to have a picnic and play games in Main Beach Park.Cocoa BeachSurf culture is a big part of the beach experience at Cocoa Beach. Every day, adults are out on the beach surfing together or watching their kids get lessons from the local instructors. There are various lessons such as wind-surfing and kiteboarding to choose from. If you want to get the skills quickly, you can sign up for private lessons. For even more fun, the Florida Surf Museum is close to the beach and worth visiting.Fort Walton BeachThe beach is a fantastic spot for family vacations at any time of the year. Families are typically attracted by the green ocean with calm waters, white sand, and overall views of the beach. Besides the sun and surfing, the area has plenty to offer to families, like Gulfarium Marine Adventure Park, where everyone is encouraged to interact with nature and animals by feeding turtles or meeting sea lions.1．What’s special about St. Augustine Beach?A．It hosts a yearly celebration event.B．It is open only during warm seasons.C．It offers free entry for college students.D．It allows travelers to drive in some areas.2．What do travelers have a chance to do at Fernandina Beach?A．Watch open-air films.B．Enjoy festive dishes.C．Learn some water sports.D．Do some volunteer work.3．What can visitors do in the Cocoa Beach and Fort Walton Beach?A．Go surfing.B．Have lessons.C．Feed animals.D．Enjoy white sand.Instead of being addicted to smartphones and games, Zhang Yixuan prefers to spend his summer vacation walking in nature, meeting with little creatures like shrimps and crabs (蟹).The 17-year-old boy went viral on Sina Weibo recently for his knowledge of biology, which led him to discover a new species of freshwater crabs of Sinolapotamon in 2022.Zhang’s father, who was born in a rural area, loved catching fish and crabs himself at an early age, so Zhang was always taken outdoors by his parents to explore as much as possible and observe little creatures quietly without being interrupted. Now a grade 12 student at Yulin High School, Guangxi Zhuang autonomous regıon, Zhang has dozens of “living treasures” that he has collected from the outdoors, including insects, fish, shrimps and crabs.“This one is a species of Nanhaipotamon that I caught in a mountainous area,” said Zhang, pointing to a bright-colored crab moving its amusing eyes around. “You can see it just shed its shell.” There is also a row of empty bottles and jars in Zhang’s room to store his specimens. “I can notice the small differences between two shrimps, and then I take them back to my room for further observation,” said Zhang.It is the microscope his father bought him that makes the bedroom look more like a mini biology lab than anything else. It’s a place where Zhang can devote himself to identifying shrimps or observing crabs day and night. With the help of his microscope, Zhang concentrates on exploring the natural world. Sometimes he spends hours simply examining a piece of fish scale, the leg of a crab or the antenna of an insect. He often works so late that his parents have to force him to go to bed.“I’m often amazed by what I see while placing these tiny and fragile things under the microscope. No matter how unimportant an insect is, each life is so delicately and uniquelyorganized,” said Zhang.4．What made Zhang popular on Sina Weibo?A．His love of biology.B．His videos of outdoor adventures.C．His collection of “living treasures”.D．His discovery of a new type of crab.5．What inspired Zhang’s interest in exploring nature?A．His father’s early job.B．A crab he once caught.C．His school’s field trips.D．His childhood experiences.6．What does paragraph 5 mainly talk about?A．Zhang’s tools for observations.B．Zhang’s achievements in biology.C．Zhang’s mini biology lab at home.D．Zhang’s addiction to his specimens.7．Which of the following best describes Zhang?A．Honest and energetic.B．Outgoing and adventurous.C．Curious and hard-working.D．Knowledgeable and thankful.Created in the 1920s by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott, the architect who designed Waterloo Bridge, the red public telephone boxes, which can be seen all over the UK, are considered as one of the most typical symbols of this country.However, public phones have had their day despite their lovely housings. While coin-operated and card-operated telephones are on the edge of extinction, mobile phones are playing an important role in people’s lives. Though they are more convenient and commonly used, mobile phones have their kryptonite: battery life. Instead of wasting the phone boxes, a project was then promoted to recycle and reuse them. To meet with the environment-friendly preference, people are allowed to rent and repurpose the red phone boxes. In this way, they are making an unusual comeback.When you take a walk down Tottenham Court Road in London and find your mobile phone in a low-battery condition, there happens to be a green choice for you. The phone boxes are being repurposed as free charging stations powered by solar energy.Inside the boxes, which are newly painted green, there are various adaptors that can be connected to different brands and models of mobile phones. Just walk in, plug your phone in, and charge it up whenever it needs to be supplied with power. Most people would stay inside the boxes while they charge. Fully aware of this when launching the project, Solarbox can now reach a large number of audience by displaying advertisements on hard equipment. Its advertisers include well-known companies like Uber. Yet 30% of advertising space is reserved for local community projects.Apart from changing phone boxes into solar-powered charging stations, other forms of transformation can be found in and outside the UK. For example, there is medical equipment or minilibraries adapted from phone boxes, while in America, thousands of phone boxes have been changed into Wi-Fi hot spots.8．What does the underlined word “kryptonite” in paragraph 2 probably mean?A．Attempt.B．Strength.C．Weakness.D．Feature. 9．What is an important factor that makes Solarbox launch the project?A．New function.B．Advertising profit.C．People’s affection.D．Companies’ support.10．What does the author think of the reused phone boxes as charging station?A．Convenient.B．Traditional.C．consistent D．Expensive. 11．What is the text mainly about?A．The future of the public phone.B．The rise and fall of the red boxes.C．The comeback of the phone boxes.D．The ups and downs of the payphone.According to a related new research, tropical cyclones (热带气旋), ranging from hurricanes to typhoons, are moving more slowly across the planet than they did years ago, meaning that they get more destructive power and last longer.It may seem like a good thing that cyclones move at a slower speed, but in fact it’s quite the opposite. Although the cyclones are moving slower across the ground, they still get highwind speeds inside, which on the contrary makes hard rains stay longer over communities.“Nothing good comes out of a slowing storm,” says James Kossin, with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Center for Weather and Climate in Madison, Wisconsin. “It can increase storm surge. It can increase the amount of time when structures suffer from strong wind. And it increases rainfall.”According to Kossin’s findings, changing storm patterns are causing greater destruction in another way. He mentioned that the speed of global tropical cyclones slowed by an average of 10 percent from 1949 to 2016. The speed of the storms slowed even more as they made landfall in some areas. In the western North Pacific, it dropped by nearly a third. That means there will be more time for a storm with much moisture (水汽) to give off more of it in each area.Basing his research on the details of nearly 70 years’ storms, Kossin did not try to determine the cause of the slowdown. Even so, the shift is, exactly as he and other cyclone experts said, the expected result of climate (气候) change.Kossin’s work was considered to be “important and new” and “extremely valuable” by Christina Patricola, a scientist with the Climate and Ecosystem Sciences Division of California’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.It is Kossin’s hope that a model showing which communities are likely to be at the highest risk could be developed by scientists. Given that in some regions, the storms are moving pole ward and gaining in strength as well, places not normally passed by could be affected by unusually heavy rainfall as a result. “These are not good things to be combining,” he says.12．Why are cyclones moving more slowly more destructive?A．They get higher wind speeds inside.B．They cause more serious climate change.C．They move poleward and affect more areas.D．They make rains and winds stay longer in a place.13．What has Kossin found about the western North Pacific?A．It has much wetter air than other areas.B．The speed of storms there slows more.C．The storms there cause greater damage.D．It has higher risk of being hit by storms. 14．Why does the author quote Christina Patricola’s words?A．To show Kossin’s work has been recognized.B．To explain the importance ofstudying storms.C．To attract more attention to research on storms.D．To stress Kossin’s authority in the scientific filed.15．In which section of a newspaper may this text appear?A．Health.B．Science.C．Education.D．Entertainment.Trust is the basic of any relationship in both a professional and a personal capacity (能力). Here are some ways to build trust and be trustworthy.Be always honest.Honesty is a quality that must be developed fully if you desire to build trust with others. Half-truths and white lies result in disasters. 16Communicate effectively. Poor communication is one of the main reasons why trust is unable to be developed in any environment. 17 It can cause disagreements and the breaking of trust. If you want to avoid any issues, it’s important to communicate openly and freely with other involved parties in the beginning.18 Promises are not meant to be broken. Once you make a promise, it’s as binding (必须遵守的) as legal papers. It’s important that you honor your commitments if you’re interested in building trust.Do not be too quick in making decisions. There is no need to take too much pressure if you’re faced with a tough situation. 19 If the other part asks you to make a commitment immediately and you have reservations about it, you can refuse the task and say no in the beginning.Take the necessary time. 20 It’s an ongoing process that needs time to take root and develop effectively. Steady progress is possible only if it’s a regular activity; therefore, prepare to take small steps if you are looking for ways to build trust.

The care team aimed to reduce long-term joint damage,and do their best to ensure Msituni has a long,healthy life.With the information from the detailed3D imaging of Msituni’s legs,the care team determined that specialized orthotic braces(矫形器)should be able to fix the position of Msituni’s legs.However,her size made finding supports for her legs very challenging.The solution came in partnership with Hanger Clinic,a nationwide provider of orthotic braces.While the company focuses on care for humans,the company’s experts asked Safari Park wildlife care staff for advice.Together,they made a pair of orthotic braces for the calf. They wanted to enable Msituni to lie down,stand,walk,and run like a health giraffe.Finally,the treatments were a success.After about two months,with Msituni’s legs correctly positioned,caregivers were able to remove her leg braces.Today,Msituni can be found playing with the rest of giraffes in the Safari Park.四、选词填空阅读下列短文，根据短文内容，从框中选择合适的单词或词组，用其正确形式填空，并将答案书写在答题卡相应位置。

What would your dinner taste like if a robot cooked it? A robot restaurant in Tianjin may give you the answers.Covering an area of over 400 square meters with a total of 112 seats, the X Future Restaurant is a robot restaurant opened in November 2018. The restaurant has amazed customers with its fully-automated (全自动的) technology, which covers every step of the dining experience, from ordering to cooking to serving the dishes and even taking payment.Entering the restaurant, one can order dishes by simply scanning (扫描) the QR codes on the table. There are over 40 choices of dishes. After taking the order, “robot cooks” prepare dishes using fixed time, temperature and ingredients designed by famous Chinese cooks.“As the cooking is controlled by a computer system, the taste and quality of dishes can be good,” said Li Xiaokui, manager of the X Future Restaurant.Robots also complete the delivery of dishes. Without following any designed route, the robot waiters serve meals thanks to automated driving technology, which helps each robot timely change its route when something is in the way.These eye-catching technologies have received wide praise from customers. “The dishes taste surprisingly good. I couldn’t believe that they were made by robots, especially dishes that were difficult to cook” one customer said. “The application of robots has increased ourefficiency (效率) and cut down our costs,” Li said, “I think robot restaurants will develop fast and have a bright future.”8．What do we know about the X Future Restaurant?A．It covers over 112 square meters with 400 seats.B．Robot waiters deliver dishes following fixed routes.C．Customers could enjoy fully-automated services.D．Robot cooks design dishes by themselves.9．The dishes in the X Future Restaurant are _________.A．prepared by human cooks B．ordered by scanning QR codesC．not accepted by customers D．not easy for robots to prepare 10．What is Li’s attitude toward the future of robot restaurants?A．Hopeful.B．Doubtful.C．Puzzled.D．Worried 11．What is the best title for this text?A．Robots Are Helpful in Many Restaurants.B．Robots Cook Delicious Dishes like Humans.C．A Robot Restaurant Was Opened in Tianjin.D．The X Future Restaurant Has Become Popular.Conflict (冲突) between teenagers and parents happens for a lot of reasons. Sometimes conflict happens between teenagers and parents just because conflict happens between human beings anyway. Humans have different needs, different feelings, different opinions about what they want, and the relationship with people can be really difficult. However, teenagers can cause further conflict because of the hormonal (生理的) changes that are happening and the stage of life that they're in.Teenagers and parents have different understanding about rules and at times they find it difficult to look into the future. So parents and teenagers will often experience conflict about many things, do chores, homework, whether teenagers speak respectfully or not and about what they're allowed to do.Before we think about rule boundaries (界线) for teenagers, we need to make sure that we have a really good relationship base. There's no point saying “From now on, you have to listen to me”: if you don't have a positive relationship with your teenager. We need to go back and make sure there is some degree of shared respect, and some degree of positivecommunication and enjoyment being together. you do that first, it means that rule boundaries are a lot easier to set up.Often we're dealing with conflict on the fly. This is not the right time to be dealing with it. We really want parents and teenagers to sit down and think about the kinds of things that may happen in the house before the problems come. The more detailed your rule boundaries are for teenagers, the more likely it is that they are going to follow them. So this means we don't have rule boundaries like “Have the bathroom cleaned”. It needs to be “The floors mopped, nothing on the countertop and the mirrors cleaned by ten o'clock every Saturday”: Rule boundaries need to be written down, and set out ahead of time so the teenager knows exactly what's expected.12．What's important to set up a rule boundary easily for teenagers?A．Being strict from the start.B．Developing a good relationship with them first.C．Saying"No" to their requirements.D．Avoiding close talks with them. 13．Which of the following rules are teenagers most likely to follow?A．Doing some housework.B．Having a good reading habit.C．Cleaning the bathroom.D．Finishing your homework by five. 14．What do the underlined words "on the fly" in the last paragraph probably mean?A．In a hurry.B．On the plane.C．By oneself.D．Another day. 15．What's the best title for the text?A．Growing Pains B．Teenage ProblemsC．Parent-Child Conflict and Solutions D．Knowing the ConflictWork Smarter Not HarderIn Dan Pink’s Free Agent Nation: The Future of Working for Yourself, he closes the book with a long, excellent list of “Work Smarter Not Harder” type advice for people who want to start working for themselves. 16 Below are my favorites.●Make a “to don’t” list. Prepare a list that contains all the things you shouldn’t waste your time on—useless tasks, unnecessary meetings, worthless phone calls, and so on. 17●Carry a notebook and pen. Thomas Edison did it. Virginia Woolf did it. And so did Charles Darwin. They carried a notebook with them everywhere and wrote down ideas that popped into their heads. 18 Trust me: This is a fantastic way to explore ideas and toweave creativity into the fabric of your life.● 19 Become a learning machine. Ask questions. Take smart people to lunch. Read. Read some more. Listen to audiobooks. Take classes. Added benefit: This makes life more interesting. Yet another benefit: Studies have shown that people who make constant learning part of their lives end up living longer.●Guard your calendar. Make sure your time is focused on your one or two top priorities(优先解决的事物). Ask yourself: “Is this how I want to be spending my time right now?” Remember: You are your calendar. 20●Respond to calls and e-mails quickly. Even if your response is, “I’ll get back to you,” try to get back to people within 24 hours. They’ll appreciate the politeness.A．Learn.B．Be quick, but don’t hurry.C．So treat your calendar with respect.D．Try to begin your day the same way.E．Page through the notebook occasionally.F．Then place it next to your “to do” list and stick to it.G．Frankly, the list is so good I think everyone would benefit from it.二、完形填空One day we were on our way to a family event.

Email the SPP office at ******************. 1．SPP aims to ________.A. help college students to achieve academic successB. provide admission guidelines for pre-college studentsC. get high school graduates well-prepared for college lifeD. encourage students to participate in hands-on learning2．What are students supposed to do to earn college credits?A. Attend various courses.B. Carry out STEM research.C. Finish the courses online.D. Join in experiential learning.3．According to the text, students living on campus ________.A. are provided with good safetyB. will have access to a single roomC. can organize social activitiesD. are advised to direct showsSeveral weeks ago, I pulled an old road map out of the glove box and passed it to my children. They had never seen the Province of Ontario laid out like that before. They stared at the map, asking about all the towns, parks, and other landmarks we’d visited, and I pointed them out on the map.GPS is a modern wonder that has gotten me out of many confusing places, but paper maps still play a role in our lives. Most of us adults learned to read them out of necessity, but it’s up to us to pass on that s kill to children whose need may not be so obvious, but who still stand to benefit from it.As Trevor Muir wrote in an article on this topic, “When kids learn how to create and use paper maps, they are doing more than just learning how to get around. They are actually developing fundamental skills that they will use for the rest of their lives. Map skills still belong to today’s classroom.”As a child I had National Geographic maps taped on my bedroom walls. This aroused my curiosity and imagination about those places and thus made me eager to remember my geography and history lessons because they were tied to places I’d “seen”. Even now as a mother of four children, I’ve also spared time to travel to many of the countries whose maps I studied as a child.Additionally, in this fast-changing world, unexpected events can rapidly influence one’s usual way of life. When GPS satellites or Internet connections are affected, this old-fashioned skill can get you out of a mess without requiring a smartphone. Last but not least, paper maps arouse “big picture” thinking, showing kids that there’s a much bigger world out there and helping to direct them within it.So, now is a good time to pull out those dusty old maps and lay them on the kitchen table.4．How did the children react when they were given the paper map?A. They seemed totally confused.B. They showed great curiosity.C. They considered it old-fashioned.D. They found it less convenient than GPS. 5．What might be the topic of the article written by Trevor Muir?A. The teaching focus in today’s classroom.B. The situations where paper maps are used.C. The necessity of digital maps in the modern world.D. The benefit of developing paper map skills for kids.6．Which of the following shows the author’s opinion?A. Internet connections are very reliable today.B. GPS will sooner or later replace paper maps.C. Paper maps provide kids with grand vision.D. Paper maps make people connected with each other.7．Which would be the best title for the text?A. It’s Time to Teach Kids to Read Paper MapsB. How to Teach Kids about Different Kinds of MapsC. It’s Time to Encourage Kids to Step into a Bigger WorldD. How to Teach Kids Fundamental Skills with Paper MapsFrom houses surrounded by impressive gardens to days spent exploring sandy beaches and deep woods filled with wildlife, in My Family and Other Animals, British writer Gerald Durrell provided a vivid account of his family’s time on the Greek island of Corfu in the 1930s.Come for the attractive descriptions of Corf u landscapes and stay for Durrell’s laugh-out-loud tales of his unusual family. This book, Durrell wrote humorously in the introduction, “was intended to be a nostalgic (怀旧的) account of natural history, but in the first few pages,Durrell, later known for his zookeeping and the preservation of wildlife, was just a child during his family’s five-year stay in Corfu. He is the 10-year-old Gerry in the book—curious, passionate about animals and a detailed storyteller of his strange family: his imaginative elder brother Larry with his literary ambitions, lovestruck sister Margo, sporty brother Leslie and his ever-calm, loving mother.Durrell’s attention to detail is what makes the book so attractive, with every sight, sound and smell of the island brought to life. One minute you’ll be laughing as Larry’s clever literary friends walk down to the daffodil-yellow house, and the next minute you’ll be catching your breath as Durrell describes swimming at night in the Ionian Sea: “Lying on my back in the silky water, staring at the sky, only moving my hands and feet slightly, I was looking at the Milky Way stretching like a silk scarf across the sky and wondering how many stars it contained.”My Family and Other Animals is quite difficult to classify, being one part travel, one partautobiography, one part natural history, and one part comedy, with a thread of descriptive language running throughout that sometimes raises it nearly to poetry.As a real delight to read, it’s the perfect literary escapism (逃避现实) for any adult or older teenager who is currently walking down a tough road in life.8．Which word best describes Durrell’s life in Corfu?A. Risky.B. Busy.C. Tough.D. Diverse.9．What does the underlined sentence mean in paragraph 2?A. I shouldn’t have introduced my family.B. I couldn’t help introducing my family.C. I gave wrong information about my family.D. I introduced my family in a mistaken way.10．What are paragraphs 4—5 mainly about?A. The book’s writing featur e.B. Durrell’s rich imagination.C. Some interesting plots of the book.D. Some vivid descriptions of the island. 11．What is the purpose of this text?A. To describe an unusual place.B. To share an experience.C. To introduce a writing style.D. To recommend a book.Fifty percent of the Kenyan top runners are members of Kalenjin, one minority race of the country. They make up less than two percent of Kenya’s population. This fact has puzzled sports scientists. They have spent considerable time and effort trying to answer one question: What enables the Kalenjin people to run so fast?A team of Danish scientists spent 18 months and discovered the Kalenjins had remarkably slow heart rates even when running long distances. The Kalenjins live in high-elevation (高海拔) villages in western Kenya. People living there produce more red blood cells, which support the transport of oxygen throughout the body. Scientists believe there is a connection between increased red blood cells and low heart rates and that both may enable high-altitude athletes to outperform those who train at low elevation. The Danish scientists also studied the bodies of the Kalenjins and compared them to those of the Danes. They found that the Kalenjins have lower body mass indexes-a measure of body fat based on weight and height, and longer “birdlike” legs than Danish people.As a result of the Danish study, some scientists made the conclusion that the Kalenjins possess what is called a “speed gene”. However, Kenyan runners were offended by this conclusion. They owed their success to hard work and endless hours of training.Although the controversy (争议) over the “speed gene” remains unsolved, British runner Mo Farah’s experience offers an interesting perspective on the subject. In 2005, he realized he wasn’t meeting his potential as a runner. A group of Kenyan runners were training in England then. After he observed the Kenyans’ strict training routines and dedication to their sports, Farah began eating healthy foods and training harder than he had ever trained in his life. As a result, Farah’s running career exploded. He has won seven world and Olympic titles in the 5,000m and regularly beats Kenya’s top runners.Farah’s story proves what Kenyans have known all along. Their “secret” is simple. Train hard, run fast and never give up.12．What interested the sports scientists?A. The Kenyan sports history.B. The Kalenjins’ running ability.C. The Kalenjins’ training methods.D. The Kenyans’ enthusiasm for sports. 13．According to Danish scientists, what leads to Kalenjins’ success?A. Physical condition.B. Living style.C. Hard training.D. Strong will.14．What do we know about the Danish research result?A. Danish people believe that it is the truth.B. Mo Farah finds the result astonishing.C. Kenyan runners think it is unacceptable.D. The world has attached great importance to it.15．Why is Mo Farah’s story mentioned in the text?A. To show running methods count.B. To encourage British athletes.C. To prove effort pays off.D. To support the gene theory.二、七选五16．For some people, the warmest memories from childhood come from being read a great story. ①_______ It develops children's language skills and increases their ability to succeed in school and, later work.A new report by the American Academy of Pediatrics says reading aloud is so important that parents should start as soon as their children are born and continue to read aloud even after their children can read by themselves. They say parents should also point to and talk about pictures in books for infants(婴幼儿). ②_______The company Scholastic is a major U.S. publisher of children's books. Every two years, Scholastic publishes a report on American reading attitudes and habits. The 2015report saysonly 31percent of children in the U.S. read a book for fun almost every day.③_______ One is simply to have books in the home. Elizabeth Lyttleton, the mother of three, is lucky. Her mother once wrote and illustrated children's books, so the family always have plenty to read. She says all her children learn from books-but in different ways. ④_______ Researchers from the Scholastic company found that 80% of children surveyed-of all ages-say they love being read to. And children ages 6 to 11 whose parents do not read to them anymore say they miss it.⑤_______ Of all the six to 17-year-olds in the Scholastic study, more than 90% said their favorite books are the ones they chose for themselves.There are other methods that might help you with your studying.A. The Scholastic report also suggests permitting children to choose their own books.B. Scholastic also identifies some ways to develop a love of reading in a child.C. A book does not have to be serious to be good for kids.D. For young children, parents should ask questions about the book.E. Do children still read for fun？F. Another way to develop a reading habit in children is to read to them.G.

To save them, the Chinese government started the Chinese Language Resources Protection Project a few years ago. This project looks at how people talk in 1,712 places. Their languages include 103 dialects that are almost gone. It has helped China to build the largest language resource library in the world. There’s an online library where people can learn dialects from over 5.6 million audio clips (音频) and over 5 million videos.Why is it important to protect the dialect culture According to British linguist Harold Palmer, dialects are a key to store local cultures. Language faithfully shows the history, the beliefs and the biases (偏见) of an area, he said.Scholar Zhang Hongming talked about his concerns of the disappearing of dialeets, “For about over 10 years, in the Wu dialect areas such as Shanghai and Suzhou, children aged 6 to 15 can understand but hardly speak the dialect. Meanwhile, young people above 15 years old sometimes speak it, but not very well. If this keeps happening, the dialect might disappear,” he said.So how did China make this big library “A big national effort has been put into the project to make it happen,” said Cao Zhiyun, chief expert on the project. Over five years, more than 350universities and research groups joined in, along with over 4,500 experts and more than 6,000 dialect speakers.The project is now entering into its second part. This includes creating digital tools like apps and mobile dictionaries to help people lean dialects.4．How does the author start the textA. By quoting sayings.B. By sharing a story.C.

The disappearing of dialects. 6．What’s Zhang Hongming’s attitude to Wu dialectA. Worried.B. Positive.C. Indifferent.D. Unelear.7．What can we know about the project according to the textA. It has entered into the third part.B. Over 5.6 millions videos are collected in the project.C. It looks at how people talk in 1,712 places.D. Harold Palme is the chief expert on the project.Do you ever get restless if you haven’t checked your phone for a few minutes If so, you’re not alone. Studies reveal that people these days check their phones once every four minutes on average! Some of this usage may be related to work. However, much of it isbecause many apps — particularly social media apps —use “clever techniques” to keep us coming back for more.One of such techniques is to push notificatio ns. You’re getting on with your work or something else when — ping! — a notification pops up on your screen, informing you that a friend has posted something new or commented on your post. It may seem like a small interruption, but it often is enough to break your concentration and make you go back to your phone again. Another method is to make a game of the in-app experience by setting up a competitive goal element. Some apps, for example, uses streaks (连续纪录), which count the number of days you have used the app. If you keep a streak going, you might get a medal or some other rewards. Therefore, keeping one’s streak alive becomes a major reason to return to the app again and again.Once you’ve opened an app, its goal is now to get you continue using it. Messaging apps use a simple but effective trick to keep you engaged even when you’re not writing anything. Have you ever noticed that in some apps, three dots (…) appear to let you know your friend is typing a reply This trick is designed specifically to create your expectation or curiosity. You wonder what your friend is going to say. Well, you’ll have to keep waiting and see. While using social media apps is certainly fun, becoming addicteddefinitely isn’t. Now that you know some tricks used by these apps’ designers, you’ll be better equipped to reduce their influence and keep a healthier relationship with your phone.8．What does the underlined word “reveal” in Paragraph 1 probably meanA. Encourage.B. Predict.C. Prevent.D. Show.9．What is special about an app using streaksA. Ongoing pings will inform you of new posts.B. Competitive games will greatly discourage you.C. Everyday use of the app might earn you a medal.D. Appearance of three dots might disturb your typing. 10．There are “clever techniques” mentioned in the passage.A. twoB. threeC. fourD. five11．What is the best title for the textA. The Tricks That Keep You Glued to Your Phone.B. Can People Break Their Addition to GamesC. Could Technology Further Improve PhonesD. The Social Media Apps That Waste Your Time.For more than 140 years, fishers in Laguna, Brazil have formed an unusual partnership with local dolphins. As soon as the fishers spot a dolphin waving its tail, lifting its head, and diving deeply, they race into the water with their nets. Now, a new study suggests thedolphins are willing partners in this cooperation and that the animals may be guiding the people. They pay close attention to the humans, timing their actions to maximize their catch. Over the years, dolphins have bee n showing the fishers “where to stand and when to get ready to throw their nets” in the dark waters. It’s almost as if the dolphins are training the humans.As much as the fishers were watching the dolphins, the dolphins were also watching the fishers, the study found. Both species must time their actions correctly to catch fish. The people wait with their nets at the ready for a dolphin to approach closely. When a dolphin sees a ready fisher, the animal will give a tip, usually that deep dive, which tells the fisher the mullet (鲻鱼) are right there and it’s time to cast their net. Sometimes, either dolphin or fisher will respond incorrectly, and neither catches fish. Yet, the scientists reported that of nearly 3,000 recorded fishing attempts, nearly 46% were successful. To ensure this accuracy, fishers must understand the dolphins’ tips, learning them over time. Even it can say, “The dolphins are almost like teachers.”Other populations of dolphins have also been known to cooperate with human fishers, rushing fish toward shore or into nets off eastern Australia, Mauritania, and Southeast Asia. But these practices have either disappeared or are in decline.The same fate likely faces the Laguna dolphins if the mullet numbers, which have dropped over the past decade because of overfishing, continue to decline. The practice may escape such a fate, if Brazil regards this dolphin-fisher relationship a cultural heritage, as the scientists propose. “Without mullet,” the expert says, “this partnership will end.”12．How do the dolphins guide the fishers to catch the fishA. They constantly attack fish.B. They use body languages.C. They make strange voices.D. They pull the nets.13．What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 3A. Introduce a new topic for discussion.B. Provide suggestions for the readers.C. Share some interesting facts about dolphins.D. Conclude the previous paragraphs.14．What can we learn about the dolphin-fisher relationship in LagunaA. It has completely disappeared.B. It develops friendly.C. It needs to be protected.D. It becomes useless and meaningless. 15．In which column of the newspaper can we read the passageA. Art.B. Health.C. Sports.D. Animals.二、七选五16．Do you know how to be a proud traveller ①_________Travellers get excited and a bit nervous before travel.
