考试时间120分钟）I阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项，并涂在题卡上（靠左涂：1+班+学号）AWhat is language for?Some people seem to think it’s for practicing grammar rules and learning list s of words—the longer the lists,the better.That’s nguage is for the exchange（交流）of ideas and meaningless knowing all about a language if you can’t use it freely. Many students I have met information.It’sknow hundreds of grammar rules, but th ey can’t speak correctly or fluently （流利地）. They are afraid of making mistakes. One shouldn’t be afraid of making mistakes when speaking a foreign language. Native speakers make mistakes and break rules, too. Bernard Shaw once wrote. “Foreigners often speak English too correctly. mistakes that native speakers make are different from those that Chinese students make. They’re in the English language. And if enough native speakers break a rule, it is no longer a rule. What used to be wrongbecomes right. People not only make history, they make language. But a people can only make its own language. Itcan’t make another people’s language. So Chinese students of English should pay attention to grammar, but they （做过头）it. They should put communication （交际）first.shouldn’t overdo1. Language is used to ______.A. communicate with othersB. practice grammar rulesC. talk with foreigners onlyD. learn lists of words2. Generally, when an American or an Englishman speaks English, he ______.A. never makes mistakesB. often makes mistakesC. can’t avoid making mistakesD. always makes mistakes3.“Foreigners often speak English too correctly.” This sentence means that ______.A. foreigners speak correct EnglishB. foreigners speak incorrect EnglishC. foreigners don’t speak English naturally enoughD. foreigners seldom make mistakes when speaking English4. When we speak a foreign language, we should ______.A. speak in Chinese wayB. speak by the rulesC. speak to native speakersD. not be afraid of making mistakesBIf we want to deal with the association （交往）between boys and girl properly, here are some “dos anddon’ts” for you to follow.Keep a normal and healthy state of mind. Our schools and classes are made up of boys and girls. It is verynatural for the boys and girls to make friends with each other. We should make as many friends as possible. Weshould keep in touch with the other sex （性别）in public instead of in secret.Don’t be too nervous or too shy. If you are a shy pers on, you can also find a way out. First of all, you canmake friends with the students who have the same interest and hobby as you. As both of you have much in common,you may have much to talk about. If you keep doing like that, little by little, you will gladly find you are also asfree to express yourself as others.Don’t fall into the ditch of early love. The boys and girls at adolescence （青春期）are rich in feeling. Theyare easy to regard the friendship as a sign of love and fall in love with each other at an early age. In my opinion,early love is a green apple that can’t be eaten. An apple won’t taste sweet until it is fully ripe. Boys and g middle school are too young to carry the heavy duty of love. Do keep out of early love.5. The main idea of the passage is to ______.A. tell students to keep away from early loveB. give some advice on how to associate between boys and girlsC. tell students how to make friendsD. teach boys how to talk with girls6. We should keep in touch with the other sex in the following EXCEPT ______.A. with a good state of mindB. in real friendshipC. in publicD. in secret7. If you are a shy person, you can ______.A. find friends with the same interest and hobby firstB. only have a few friends of the same sexC. not make friends with the other sexD. not fail in love with other students easilyCWhat would you do if you saw a mountain gorilla （黑猩猩）? Most people would probably be very afraid andarance. Firstly, gorillas are very big. They can growrun away. That’s because gorillas have a very frightening appeup to 2 metres tall and can weigh more than 200 kilograms (male gorillas weigh twice as much as female gorillas).Secondly, gorillas can make a lot of noise. They can roar, beat their chests and show their teeth. In fact, these angryactions are very rare and male gorillas only do it when their families are under attack.The truth is,gorillas are incredibly intelligent,gentle and social animals that stay together in small familygroups. The leader is t he largest male, and is called the silverback. That’s because of the beautiful silver fur back.Gorillas spend almost all their time on the forest floor,eating and sleeping.They are mainly vegetarian,although they eat some insects. Young gorillas often play together. They run around and climb trees. At night, theanimals make a nest to sleep in. the lighter gorillas nest in trees. The heavier gorillas make nests on the ground andbabies sleep with their mothers. Gorillas rarely attack humans. They only fight when something or someone attacksthem or their young. In that situation, they will fight to the death. Hunters looking for baby gorillas may have to killthe whole family to get what they want.Sadly, there are fewer than 650 mountain gorillas left in the wild, which means they are an endangered animal.These gorillas only live in the mountain jungles of central Africa. They are endangered because people hunt themfor food and for sport. They are also threatened by war, and humans cutting down their forests for farmland, fueland housing. Life for these gentle giants isn’t peaceful.8. What is a silverback according to the passage?A. Any gorillas with silver fur.B. Any male gorillas in the group.C. The leader in the gorillas family.D. The oldest gorillas in the group.9. Where would you expect to find a silverback gorillas sleeping at night?A. In the trees.B. On the ground.C. With the baby gorillas.D. Away from others._.10. The underlined word “they” in Paragraph 2 refers to _____A. fightersB. huntersC. baby gorillasD. gorilla families11. What is the main purpose of the last paragraph?A. To describe the lifestyle of mountain gorillas.B. To summarize （概括）the details of the passage.C. To explain why mountain gorillas are endangered.D. To examine the behavior （行为）of mountain gorillas.D“Have a nice day” may be a pleasant gesture or a meaningless expression. When my friend Maxie saysa nice day” with a smile, I know she sincerely cares about what happens to me. I feel loved and secure （安全）since another person cares about me and wishes me well.“Have a nice day. Next!” The version of the expression is spoken by a salegirl at supermarket who is rushingme and my groceries out the door. The words came out in the same tone （强调）with a fixed procedure. They arespoken at me, not to me. Obviously, the concern for my day and everyone else’s is the management’s increase business.The expression is one of those behaviors that help people get along with each other. Sometimes it indicates theend of a meeting. As soon as you hear it, you know the meeting is at an end. Sometimes the expression saves uswhen we don’t know what to say. “Oh, you just had a tooth out? I’m terribly sorry, but have a nice day-warming The expression can be pleasant. If a stranger says “Have a nice day” to you, you may find it heart because someone you don’t know has tried to be nice to you.Although the use of the expression is insincere, meaningless social custom at times, there is nothing wrongwith the sentence except that it is a little uninteresting. The salesgirl, the waitress, the teacher, and the countlessothers who speak it without thinking may not really care about my day. But in a strange and comfortable way, itnice to know t hey care enough to pretend they care when they really don’t care all that much. While the expre may not often be sincere, it is always spoken. The point is that people say it all the time when they like.12. How does the author understand Maxie’s words?A. Maxie shows her anxiety to the author.B. Maxie really wishes the author a good day.C. Maxie encourages the author to stay happy.D. Maxie really worries about the author’s security.13. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 mean?A. The salesgirl is rude.B. The salesgirl is bored.C. The salesgirl cares about me.D. The salesgirl says the words as a routine （例行公事）.14. By saying “Have a nice day”, a stranger may ______.A. try to be polite to youB. express respect to youC. give his blessing to youD. share his pleasure with you15. What is the best title of the passage?A. Have a Nice Day—a Social CustomB. Have a Nice Day—a Pleasant GestureC. Have a Nice Day—a Heart-warming GreetingD. Have a Nice Day—a Polite Ending of a Conversation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。

That day, fresh snow had been falling, and we were in high spirits. We stopped near the top of an off-path section that went through forests. I let my brother disappear into the trees ahead, figuring I would soon catch up.I began to pick up speed when I was suddenly thrown off balance. Just as I was regaining control, I ran into the trunk of a large tree.It was like hitting a solid wall. The pain was instant. I knew immediately that my back was broken and quickly realized the situation could get very serious. Nobody would be coming past. There was no phone signal. It was snowing and cold. If I waited, I would probably be rescued eventually. But the chance of freezing to death before that happened was too high for me to risk staying put.I tried to stand but fell down and almost blacked out with pain. I managed to get the board off from my feet and moved it under my stomach so I was lying on it. I faced down the mountain and used the board to slowly drag and slide my body down the steep, tree-lined slope.It took about two hours before a skier found me and I got help. The mountain rescue team came, with my brother arriving shortly afterwards. I couldn’t feel my hands or my toes from the cold, but the relief at knowing I was safe was enormous.A helicopter took me to hospital. I had broken one of my backbones, so I had an operation where the doctors inserted plates. The constant pain was huge, but it wasn’t as bad as seeing the pain and worry I put my family through.The recovery road was tough, but I was lucky. Gradually, I was able to walk, then swim, then cycle and then run. I haven’t been back to the slopes yet, but it might happen someday—I will, however, be sticking to the paths.4．What happened to the author when he was snowboarding with his little brother?A．He lost his way in the forest.B．He got injured by accident.C．The author hit the trunk before he lost his balance.D．His brother knocked him down. 5．What did the author intend to do according to the underlined sentence?A．He decided to seek help himself.B．He intended to phone his brother at once.C．He was to remain where he was.D．He intended to give up asking for help. 6．What’s the author’s attitude towards his chance of snowboarding again?A．Optimistic B．PessimisticC．Uncertain D．Concerned7．What’s the best title of the passage?A．A Tough Snowboarding Rescue B．A Snowboarding: A Risky SportC．My Snowboarding Life D．Snowboarding Survival StoryIf you look around your city, you might spot girls wearing hanfu in subways or people wearing T-shirts with Chinese characters on the streets. A new trend is taking hold in China — guochao, or “China-chic”.The term characterizes the rise of China’s native fashion trends. It has expanded the concept of “Made in China”, which has been recognized as the representation of Chinese culture and aesthetics offered by homegrown Chinese brands, according to CGTN.China-chic came into the spotlight in 2018. Before that, big-name foreign companies, such as NIKE, ADIDAS and PUMA, dominated the world market. To win market share, many Chinese brands followed in the footsteps of these Western brands. But that year, Chinese sportswear brand Li-Ning changed things up. During the 2018 New York Fashion Week, Li-Ning introduced its Taoism-inspired Wu Dao collection. The collection not only had a trendy look, but also included elements of traditional Chinese culture. It immediately grabbed attention at home and abroad. As a result, the company recorded 20 percent revenue growth in 2018, marking the first time the brand’s revenue had hit the 10-billion-yuan mark since its founding.The trend to embrace domestic brands has since spread rapidly to various sectors and products, from food and drinks to clothing, mobile phones and electric vehicles. For example, White Rabbit, whose sweet candy brings back childhood memories for many, launched its perfume and lip balm. “We want White Rabbit to be a brand that young people want to share,” Shen Qinfeng, the company’s marketing manager, told People’s Daily.Now, the guochao trend is “moving to the next stage, where its success will rely, first and foremost, on gaining cultural confidence rather than Western recognition.” according to Kerra Zhou, founder of brand strategy consultancy Kerrisma.No matter how the guochao trend develops, there’s one thing that won’t change: Behind the craze is people’s positive attitude toward the country’s development and their recognition of growing confidence in national culture, said Yao Linqing, a professor in the School of Economics and Management at Communication University of China.8．Which of the following does NOT belong to guochao?A．ANTA bags with dragon pattern.B．Perfume of White Rabbit.C．The sports shoes of NIKE.D．The Wu Dao T-shirts of Li-Ning.9．Why does the author mention “White Rabbit” in paragraph 4?A．To show domestic brands opened up new development paths.B．To explain how domestic brands called up childhood memories.C．To prove guochao trend has moved to the next stage.D．To tell western brands no longer dominate the world market.10．What does Kerra Zhou’s words mean in the last but one paragraph?A．Chinese is still following the western trend.B．Guochao’s success relies on western recognition.C．Cultural confidence is the key to winning market share.D．National pride arouses the passion for Chinese elements.11．What’s the main idea of the passage?A．The development of Chinese native brands.B．The boom of China-chic.C．The recognition of national culture.D．The campaign to gain cultural confidence.The e-bike industry is exploding around the world as people adopt the idea of anenvironmentally-friendly alternative for the daily trips and a way to enjoy the outdoors. Creative minds are introducing e-bike innovations like creative new body styles. Evie Bee, a woodworker, model maker and university student, has combined her passions into a unique and beautiful wooden e-bike she calls Electraply.The design was inspired by Bee’s love for the motorcycles of the past and the desire to honour and continue this design classic through a modern interpretation.Electraply is composed primarily of materials of a sustainably sourced tree-poplar ply, which is the inspiration for the name. The use of wood threatened to make the bike too heavy, but Bee used poplar ply for the central frame (框架) so it was no heavier than an ordinary e-bike.For the original bike, Bee collected the forks from an old jump bike. The decision resulted in the use of V-brakes (刹车) in the design. She says it’s not ideal but works for now, admitting, “The forks shall certainly be the first thing I upgrade once I have the money.” There are safety features to balance the system; the front brake is wired to the motor, causing it to turn off when the brakes are pressed.Unlike most e-bikes, Bee didn’t try to hide the battery. In fact, she put it front and center. She explained, “The bike design was inspired by motorbikes, which have their gas tanks (油箱) visible. I wanted to carry this through into my own design, but change the gas tank for a battery!”Bee is currently working on developing a Kickstarter campaign for Electraply with hopes of mass-producing and marketing it at some point. For those interested in working from the knowledge she’s developed in the process, she’s written two e-books she has posted on her website. One covers the design process for creating the bike, while the second details the construction process of turning the design into a real-life functioning e-bike.12．What character of poplar ply is taken into consideration when used for the central frame?A．Its security.B．Its strength.C．Its intensity.D．Its weight.13．Which of the following can best describe Bee’s present V-brakes of Electraply?A．Risky.B．Delicate.C．Unsatisfactory.D．Useless.14．What’s the difference between Bee’s e-bike and most other e-bikes?A．Bee’s e-bike was environment friendly.B．Bee’s e-bike had the battery put in easy view.C．Bee’s e-bike owned more advanced safety features.D．Bee’s e-bike was powered by both gas and solar electricity.15．What is Bee expecting of Electraply?A．It’ll be made into production.B．It’ll help raise money for charity.C．It’ll enable her e-books to be bestsellers.D．It’ll stimulate people’s curiosity about science.It’s extremely difficult to get rid of deep anger and bitterness. 16 It could result in depression or even. substance abuse(药物滥用). You must rid yourself of these poisonous feelings before your life is ruined. You owe it to yourself to get over the anger and bitterness and find peace in life.●Stop making excuses for your feelings.You can’t overcome your anger or bitterness if you keep yourself' stuck in it and making excuses for why you are angry and bitter. 17 You’re in control of your life and you can get rid of the anger and bitterness. When you start feeling bitter or angry, make a conscious effort to stop.●Forgive those who have caused you anger.18 However, it’s a necessary part of healing and moving on with life. Speak to the person who hurt you and tell him you forgive him. Alternatively, write a letter to the person who hurt your. Whatever you do you must forgive so that you can move on with your life.●Find to be grateful for what you have.Look around you and count your blessings. 19 Make thankfulness and gratefulness a part of your everyday life. Keep a journal and write about the ways in which you’re grateful. Your anger and bitterness will eventually disappear as you become happier and more content with life.● 20Perhaps you’ve kept it bottled up for years. You need to let it go, so talk to your family or friends. You can even talk to a professional when necessary. The point is to talk about your feelings so that you can move on from the anger and bitterness.A．This is not an easy thing.B．Swear to move on from the past.C．Perhaps you own a loving family or a good job.D．Offering forgiveness can lead to less anxiety and stress.E．You could spend years carrying these feelings inside you.F．Express your deep-rooted feelings of anger and bitterness.G．Recognizing signs and causes of bitterness is a healthy start.二、完形填空It was a dark night. Thick, dark, gray clouds had made sure that there was no starlight or moonlight to 21 me as I walked out of my porch (门厅).

广东省部分名校2023-2024学年高一上学期期中联合考试英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解I’m a. . . digital nativeThe online world is a big part of my life. I’m a “digital native” — I’ve been using the computer since I was a kid.I do a wide range of things online. Besides doing all my schoolwork, I chat with my friends, watch films and read the daily news and other interesting articles. I also shop for various things online, such as books, computer hardware, and other necessities. It’s so convenient to be able to compare the quality and prices from different online shops before I buy. I also play computer games from time to time and I even play tennis on my television screen in my living room!My parents are worried that I may become an “Internet addict”. They think I’m playing computer games all the time, and that I chat too much with online friends. According to them, there is a danger that I may not be able to tell whether these friends are real friends. My mum keeps telling me to go out with my school friends instead. Maybe she’s right. It’s important to meet friends in person from time to time, not just on social media. Actually, I do know I need to drag myself away from the online world sometimes, especially because the real life can be just as interesting.1．What does the underlined phrase “digital native” mean?A．Someone skilled at study.B．Someone who lives in a city.C．Someone who runs an online shop.D．Someone very familiar with the online world.2．How does the writer probably benefit from doing things online?A．He sells various things online.B．He can save money when shopping.C．He can post his interesting articles.D．He can make better friends.3．What are the writer’s parents most worried about?A．His schoolwork.B．His social life.C．His health.D．His diet.The world will become a better place when we realize that everyone can have bad daysand that we care enough and take actions. Rachel Harder, a fourth-grade teacher from Kansas, recognized this, and she found an amazing way to help out both her students and their families.A few years ago, Rachel attended a trauma (精神创伤) conference. She learned that some police stations worked together with schools. They could let teachers know when their students need help, patience or extra care.A year after the conference, Rachel had a student with autism who frequently had difficult days. To support the student, Rachel told the student’s mom to simply text her “Handle with Care” to let her know when the student was experiencing difficult time. “When she would text me, I knew that her daughter needed some extra time and a quiet place to get help, not going to the playground for morning announcements (通告) , so that the rest of her daughter’s day went well,” Rachel said.The simple method was such a success that Rachel decided to send all of her students home with a note for their parents. It explained what the “Handle with Care” system was and how they could make use of it. In no time, the parents began to show their appreciation for Rachel’s unbelievable act of kindness.But Rachel’s kindness didn’t end with her class. News spread of the amazing system, and teachers across the country began giving it a shot in their own class. Printed materials could be found on the school website, and the feedback (反馈) has been extremely positive! 4．How did Rachel support the student with autism?A．By giving more time and a quiet place.B．By taking the student to the playground.C．By sending text messages to her mother.D．By making sure she has a good rest. 5．What happened after Rachel sent notes home to all the parents?A．The parents expressed their thanks.B．Rachel showed kindness only to her class.C．Teachers nationwide stopped using the system.D．Parents gave comments on printed material.6．What is the text mainly about?A．Rachel Harder’s creative teaching methods.B．The importance of teachers’ work with police.C．A way to support students’ emotional health.D．The impact of the “Handle with Care” system.One characteristic (特征) of shyness is to feel frightened and nervous in new social situations or when being the center of attention. Whether shyness is part of your child’s personality or just something they feel when they are in front of a group of strangers, it is a common experience, according to a study.To look at shyness, researchers brought 152 children aged 7-8 into a lab and told them they would give a speech which would be filmed and shown to other children. The study showed that about 40% of the children showed a level of stress when giving the speech. About 25% of the children were not thought to be shy by their parents, but in fact showed a level of social stress from giving the speech. This finding proves the fact that shyness is more common than we think.For children at this age, shyness may be a normal experience when they face a speech task. For a smaller group of shy children, however, being the center of attention may be stressful at different times and environments.Shy people aren’t always valued by society like outgoing ones but that doesn’t mean there is something wrong. Everyone can feel shy at times depending on the environment. And those who are shy often have happy social lives—they just aren’t likely to be the liveliest (最活泼的) people in a crowded room.Although shyness itself may not be a problem, parents should pay attention to signs of stress in their shy children. Importantly, however, we know that not all shy children are the same, and that many shy children grow up to be happy adults7．What can we learn about shyness from paragraph 1?A．Shyness is something we are born with.B．Shyness is not unusual.C．Shyness is the center of attention.D．Shyness means not talking to others. 8．What did researchers find during the study?A．Some kids got stressed while giving speeches.B．Few kids like to give a speech to others.C．Some kids appear more shy with their parents.D．Some kids are stressed when being separated.9．What does the author advise parents to do when facing shy children?A．Bring them to crowded spaces.B．Encourage them to be braver.C．Watch for signs of pressure.D．Try to give them more time alone.10．What can be the best title for the text?A．When are people shy?B．Ways of beating shynessC．Why is shyness a bad thing?D．A discovery about shyness二、其他11．将下列几个部分（A、B、C、D和E）按题号排序，构成一个符合逻辑的完整语篇。
广东省广州市玉岩学校2022-2023学年高一上学期期中考试英语试题和答案详解
广东省广州市玉岩学校2022-2023学年高一上学期期中考试英语试题和答案详细解析(题后)一、阅读理解Margaret Ann Bulkley was born around 1789, in Ireland. She had big dreams. “I want to be a doctor!” But two hundred years ago a girl couldn’t become a doctor. Her uncle, James Barry, was a great painter. And his friend General Miranda had a library with more than 6,000 books. Margaret loved reading there. Her intelligence impressed him. Years later, her uncle James Barry died, leaving her some money. It was enough to study to be a doctor.“But a girl can’t become a doctor,” said Margaret sadly.“Yes, you can!” said General Miranda. “All you have to do is to disguise as a boy.” Margaret really wanted to be a doctor. So she cut off her long hair, practiced speaking in a deep voice, and put on boy’s clothes. She also named herself James Barry.From then on, Margaret Ann Bulkley disappeared. She became James Barry and entered Edinburgh University. He took 13 subjects and worked all through the summer when the other students went on holiday.Barry graduated in 1812 and decided to join the British Army. In his life. Dr. James Barry travelled all over the world, helping to save many lives. Before retirement, Barry had risen to the second highest medical officer in the British Army.

Left-handedness is actually more common in the male population than in females. There are a number of myths (杜撰的事) about them.It is difficult for left-handed children to learn writing of the alphabet, without personal tutoring. Not true at all. Observe the left-handed toddler. Everyone else is more bothered about his left-handedness than he himself is. The left-handed child adapts to writing, drawing and all other activities that require him to hold a writing tool as early as the right-handed. In fact, many left-handed people display neater handwriting than their right-handed partners.Lefties have a lesser chance of surviving a hand-to-hand fight. This is anything but true. History bears witness to the advantage left-handedness had during hand-to-hand fights and even within the boxing ring. In fact, a common observation is that the left-handed fighter is able to strike a strong surprise attack on the open, unprotected right side.Left-handed people are many a time at the disadvantage of using tools designed for the right-handed. Well, this is true, but today, there is a whole range of tools and equipment being designed for left-handed people. Many right-handed tools too are available, such that they can be molded to suit the needs of the left-handed craftsman. Even the computer mouse has been challenged in use and the touch pad provides a left-handed professional equal opportunity.Research reveals that left-handed people are in fact high achievers. This is because their brains are structured to widen their abilities. A number of mathematical, artistic and sporting geniuses were and are left-handed. However, most left-handers over the world, might have, at some stage in their life, been on the receiving end of an uncomplimentary (贬损的) remark or comment regarding their choice of hand. I am sure this list and discussion about the myths and facts would be reason enough to be proud of being left-handed.6. Compared to right-handed children, what can we learn about left-handed ones?A．Left-handed children find it hard to learn writing.B．Left-handed children are tired of the left-handedness.C．Left-handed children are used to writing tools too late.D．Plenty of left-handed children have more beautiful handwriting.7. What advantage do lefties have in hand-to-hand fights?A．They could attack their partners’ left sides surprisingly.B．They could start a surprise attack with their left hands.C．They have a better chance to beat their partners in history.D．They are good at fighting especially within the boxing ring.8. What is the computer mouse mentioned to show us?A．Left-handed people are in fact high achievers.B．Left-handed people have many disadvantages.C．Many left-handed receive bad remarks daily.D．Many tools are designed for the left-handed9. What is the author’s attitude towards left-handers?A．Positive B．Negative C．Critical D．Neutral (中立的)10. What’ the possible title for the text?A．History of left-handed peopleB．Myths about left-handed peopleC．Advantages of left-handed peopleD．Discussion about left-handed peopleEvery man wants his son to be somewhat of a clone, not in features but in footsteps. As he grows you also age, and your dreams become more unachievable. You begin to realize that your boy, in your footsteps, could probably finish what you hoped for. But footsteps can be muddied and they can go off in different directions.My son Jody has hated school since day one in kindergarten. Science projects waited until the last moment. Book reports weren’t written until the deadline.I’ve been a newspaperman all my adult life. My daughter is a university graduate working toward her master’s degree (硕士学位) in English. But Jody? When he entered the tenth grade he became a “vo-tech” student (技校学生). They’re called “motorheads” by the rest of the student body.When a secretary in my office first called him “motorhead”, I was shocked. “Hey, he’s a good kid,” I wanted to say. “And smart, really.”I learned later that motorheads are, indeed, different. They usually have dirty hands and wear dirty work clothes. And they don’t often make school honor rolls (光荣榜).But being the parent of a motorhead is itself an experience in education. We who work in clean shirts in offices don’t have the abilities that motorheads have. I began to learn this when I had my car crashed. The cost to repair it was about $800. “Hey, I can fix it,” said Jody, I doubted it but let him go ahead, for I had nothing to lose.My son, with other motorheads, fixed the car. They got parts from a junk yard, and ability from vo-tech classes. The cost was $25 instead of $800.Since that first repair job, a broken air-conditioner, a non-functioning washer and a non-toasting toaster have been fixed. Neighbors and co-workers trust their car repairs to him.These kids are happiest when doing repairs. They joke and laugh and are living in their own relaxed world. And their minds are bright despite their dirty hands and clothes.I have learned a lot from my motorhead: publishers need printers, engineers need mechanies, and architects need builders. Most important, I have learned that fathers don’t need clones in footsteps or anywhere else.My son may never make the school honor roll. But he made mine.11. What can we learn about the author’s children?A．His daughter does better in schoolB．His daughter has got a master’s degree.C．His son tried hard to finish homeworkD．His son couldn’t write his book reports.12. The author let his son repair the car because he believed that ______A．His son had the ability to fix itB．it would save him much time.C．it wouldn’t cause him any more lossD．other motorheads would come to help.13. In which of the following sentence does the word “clone” have the same meaning as the one underlined in the first paragraph?A．Mitalipov, senior author on the paper, laughs when asked if he wants to clone a person.B．Tom was in some ways a younger clone of his handsome brother.C．Some scientists wish to create the world’s first human cloneD．To make a clone, you need to first take an egg and remove all of its genetic material.14. What did the author realize in the end?A．It is unwise to expect your child to follow your path.B．It is important for one to make the honor roll.C．Architects play a more important role than builders.D．Motorheads have greater ability than office workers.15. What can we infer from the passage?A．The author’s son studied hard at school.B．The author worked as a newspaper man.C．The author was very proud of his son later.D．The author learned to repair cars from his son.二、七选五Some students prefer to learn by themselves. They think they can learn better in this way because they have more freedom, pressure and independence. There is some truth in their way.16 It is better to have a teacher, especially when they learn something more difficult.First, a teacher can act as a guide to lead you to success. When you learn, you need help and advice. A teacher will give you a hand when you face difficulties. 17What is more, a teacher puts real pressure on you. If you study by yourself,you must bestrong-minded enough to keep on. 18 But under the guidance of a teacher, you will feel there is always someone to watch you. The teacher may give you homework to do. You must complete the homework, or you will notpass the course.Last but not least, studying with a teacher will help you receive the benefit of the teacher’s knowledge 19 .They teach students how to learn and how to obtain information. They guide allof you in class to discuss the material and provide extra material to broaden the scope of the topic.20 I choose to learn in a big family---my school. Without a teacher, I would feel there would be no fun and no pressure. I could not learn well in such dull and depressing circumstances.A．Besides, teachers are connected with our life.B．Teachers can help you solve all of your problems.C．In short, I prefer to go to class studying with a teacher.D．Without a guide, you would be searching in darkness.E．And you may become inactive for lack of a strong will.F．But they fail to see the advantages of learning with a teacher.G．In class, teachers do more than just going over the material in the text.三、完形填空It was a dark night. Thick, dark, gray clouds had made sure that there was no starlight or moon light to 21 me as I walked out of my porch (门厅). Still, I kept the porch light off because I didn’t want to be 22 by bugs and moths (飞蛾) on this sticky 23 evening.

I never 29 and put one in a jar as some kids did because I never wanted to hurt these messengers of light. Their time on this earth was so 30 as it was. I tried to enjoy them each night they were here. It always 31 me when they disappeared in the fall and it always made my heart sing when they 32 the next summer.We are like them in a lot of ways. Our 33 here on earth is brief. Often our light of love is more like on and off blinks rather than a 34 shine.

It is a good way to see running routes you might not have explored.KomootAs you plan the route, it’ll work out the distance of your run and give you the option to input your running speed, allowing the app to work out how long the route shall take you.Map my runMap my run gives runners the option to plan their own route, or the ability to search through popular running routes near you, which is even more helpful for beginners.

I have read about it, prayed over it, and have done small things to help. But feeling that I could, and should, do more to make a difference. I concluded that living as a homeless man— at least for a very brief period— was the best way to understand what it’s like to have no place to call home.I decided that St. Vincent de Paul Catholic Church would be my first stop. Since the church opens its basement to homeless people every Friday for a hot meal, St. Vincent’s was symbolically a very good place to start my day as a homeless man.After praying before the Blessed Sacrament, I hit the subfreezing streets with no money.I got into a line of men, women and children waiting to be admitted into the dining room where a free hot meal is served every day.From there I walked to Health Care for the Homeless— an organization dedicated to providing free medical care to people who have no permanent residence. Inside were about 75 homeless women and men waiting to be seen by a nurse. There I spoke with an older man who had serious family problems that caused his homelessness.Next, I stopped at a hotel and fast food restaurant asking if they were hiring. From there I walked the streets of downtown Baltimore, asking people for a little loose change to buy a cup of coffee. I politely approached (接近) approximately 35 people. About 30 of them ignored me, and said they didn’t have any money, or simply said no. But five people did offer me a small donation. I explained what I was doing, and thankfully declined their generosity.Later that night, as I walked back to my vehicle, I realized that I was a richer person for having lived one day as a homeless man I thought about the homeless men and women I came across, and their problems.4．Why did the author decide to make a start from the church?A．It impressed the author in many ways.B．It opened to the homeless regularlyC．Only it offered the homeless a hot mealD．Many homeless people were allowed to live in the basement.5．What did the author do while he was in Health Care for the Homeless?A．He had a word with a homeless manB．He realized it was too sad to have no moneyC．He helped an older man with family problemsD．He had a hot meal with some women and children6．What can we infer from the fifth paragraph?A．The author worked a few hours in the restaurantB．Very few people looked down upon the homelessC．No food restaurants agreed to hire a homeless manD．People in the society cared little about the homeless7．What would the author most probably do in the future?A．He would treasure what he had got in lifeB．He would spend more time with the homelessC．He would find a better way to help the homelessD．He would invite the homeless to his home more oftenRaegan Byrd tries to complete her homework every night. But the high school student in Hartford. Connecticut, has to use her mobile phone to search for the necessary information because she does not have internet connection at home.In May, the US Department of Education (DOE) published its findings that the number of homes without access (接入) to internet has been getting smaller, but 14 percent of homes in city areas and 18percent of homes in the countryside still do not have internet connections.In some states, the problem is much more serious. For example, in the countryside of northern Mississippi, a third of the 294 homes in Maben do not have computers. And close to half have no access to internet whether they can pay for it or not.Sharon Stidham, a mother in Maben, has to take her four boys to the school library at East Webster High School. Her husband works there, so the children can use the internet for their schoolwork. A signal tower can be seen through the trees from their home, but they could not put aside any money for the internet. Research results from the National Center for Education (NCE) have shown that students with internet at home get much better scores inreading, math and science than the ones who do not. Some teachers call this problem “the homework divide”. Jessica Rosenworcel, an NCE member, said, “The so-called homework divide is the cruelest part of the digital age and it is hurting the poor students and creating a big barrier to their dreams.”Local communities (社区) have started to help. They made lists of restaurants and other businesses with Wi-Fi places where children are welcome to come and do their homework. And many public libraries have also planned to provide free access to the students next year. 8．What has DOE found out in its survey?A．Students with internet at home are doing better at school.B．About 33% of the students in Mississippi do not have internet at home.C．An increasing number of students do not have access to internet at home.D．4% more homes in the countryside don’t have internet access than those in the city. 9．Why does Sharon Stidham take her sons to the East Webster High School library?A．Her sons have to use the internet for their schoolwork.B．She wants her sons to study in a better environment.C．She does not want to pay for the internet at home.D．Her husband is a teacher in the library.10．How does Jessica Rosenworcel think of “the homework divide”?A．Unimportant B．Useful C．Harmful.D．Positive 11．What is the main idea of the last paragraph?A．Helps are coming from the public and the local communities.B．Libraries have opened their doors to the students for free.C．Restourants have volunteered to take in the children.D．to real communities are called on to take actions.For Western designers, China and its rich culture have long been an inspiration for Western creative.“It’s no secret that China has always been a source(来源) of inspiration for designers,” says Amanda Hill, chief creative officer at A+E Networks, a global media company and home to some of the biggest fashion(时尚) shows.Earlier this year, the China Through A Looking Glass exhibition in New York exhibited 140 pieces of China-inspired fashionable clothing alongside Chinese works of art, with theaim of exploring the influence of Chinese aesthetics(美学) on Western fashion and how China has fueled the fashionable imagination for centuries. The exhibition had record attendance, showing that there is huge interest in Chinese influences.“China is impossible to overlook,” says Hill. “Chinese models are the faces of beauty and fashion campaigns that sell dreams to women all over the world, which means Chinese women are not just consumers of fashion — they are central to its movement.” Of course, not only are today’s top Western designers being influenced by China—some of the best designers of contemporary fashion are themselves Chinese. “Vera Wang, Alexander Wang, Jason Wu are taking on Galliano, Albaz, Marc Jacobs—and beating them hands down in design and sales,” adds Hill.For Hill, it is impossible not to talk about China as the leading player when discussing fashion. “The most famous designers are Chinese, so are the models, and so are the consumers,” she says. “China is no longer just another market; in many senses it has become the market. If you talk about fashion today, you are talking about China—its influences, its direction, its breathtaking clothes, and how young designers and models are finally acknowledging that in many ways.”12．What can we learn about the exhibition in New York?A．It promoted the sales of artworks.B．It attracted a large number of visitors.C．It showed ancient Chinese clothes.D．It aimed to introduce Chinese models. 13．What does Hill say about Chinese women?A．They are setting the fashion.B．They start many fashion campaigns.C．They admire super models.D．They do business all over the world. 14．What do the underlined words “taking on” in paragraph 4 mean?A．learning from B．looking down on C．working with D．competingagainst15．What can be a suitable title for the text?A．Young Models Selling Dreams to the WorldB．A Chinese Art Exhibition Held in New YorkC．Differences Between Eastern and Western AestheticsD．Chinese Culture Fueling International Fashion Trends二、七选五Is Fresh Air Really Good for You?We all grew up hearing people tell us to “go out and get some fresh air.” 16 According to recent studies, the answer is a big YES, if the air quality in your camping area is good.17 If the air you’re breathing is clean—which it would be if you’re away from the smog of cities—then the air is filled with life-giving, energizing oxygen. If you exercise out of doors, your body will learn to breathe more deeply, allowing even more oxygen to get to your muscles(肌肉) and your brain.Recently, people have begun studying the connection between the natural world and healing(治愈). 18 In these places patients can go to be near nature during their recovery. It turns out that just looking at green, growing things can reduce stress, lower blood pressure, and put people into a better mood(情绪).Greenery is good for us. Hospital patients who see tree branches out their window are likely to recover at a faster rate than patients who see buildings or sky instead. 19 It gives us a great feeling of peace.20 While the sun’s rays can age and harm our skin, they also give us beneficial Vitamin D. To make sure you get enough Vitamin D—but still protect your skin—put on sunscreen right as you head outside. It takes sunscreen about fifteen minutes to start working, and that’s plenty of time for your skin to absorb a day’s worth of Vitamin D.A．Fresh air cleans our lungs.B．So what are you waiting for?C．Being in nature refreshes us.D．Another side benefit of getting fresh air is sunlight.E．But is fresh air really as good for you as your mother always said?F．Just as importantly, we tend to associate air with health care.G．All across the country, recovery centers have begun building Healing Gardens.三、完形填空Once upon a time, there was a little boy named Rakesh.

Camp in one of many green campsites around Pcmbrokeshire, where children can have fun learning about sustainable living. Or find an environmentally friendly campsite at The Greener Camping Club. Don’t forget to spin on the world’s only people-powered roller coaster in Snowdonia.Volcán Tenorio AreaWhen you think about taking your kids to Costa Rica, you normally focus on viewing its incredible wildlife. But what about giving back to the human residents too?One way to support local communities and understand the Tico culture is by staying on a farm, and there are loads of lovely options around V olcán Tenorio.AustriaExplore the kid-friendly Austrian capital of Vienna, which offers more organic farmland than any other city and has both “Green Taxis” and plenty of bike-share stations. The city has some fantastic museums for children and the splendid Schloss Schonbrunn where kids can dress up.San Francisco.San Francisco is perfect for a break that will both delight the kids and satisfy your sustainability principles. The city has banned plastic bags and bottles for years. Plus, most of the fun things to do with kids can be accessed without using a car and many involve green spaces. Head to the Exploratorium: an incredible hands-on science museum in a solar-powered building.16．Which place best suits families that enjoy camping?A．Wales.B．V olcán Tenorio Area.C．Austria.D．San Francisco.17．What advantage of Austria and San Francisco attracts kids?A．Farmland.B．Museums.C．Animals.D．Roller coasters. 18．In which section of a newspaper may this text appear?A．Science and Technology.B．Sports and Health.C．Travel and Culture.D．Agriculture and Farming.When you were at school, were you ever told to stop daydreaming and concentrate? It was easy for your mind to wander if you weren’t interested in what you were learning or if you had better things to think about. Staying focused can still be a challenge in adult life, but understanding how to do it, and knowing what is distracting you, can help.Scientists have looked at what makes us delay and found a number of ways to help us stay in the zone. One of the most obvious things is eliminating noise. Research by Science Focus magazine found silence is best for concentration, or a gentle background hum and coffee shop noise is great! It also found turning off notifications on your phone, or switching it off altogether, removes a major distraction and helps us focus on the task at hand.Another possible cure for a short attention span is brain training. Psychologists and neuroscientists are increasingly interested in our ability to settle down and have looked at what we can change inside our head to make us concentrate. An article for BBC Future by Caroline Williams says that “Attention Researcher Nilli Lavie of University College Londonhas found that making a task more visually demanding takes up more processing power and leaves the brain nothing left to process distractions.” So, keeping your mind busy might be the answer.There are more practical tips to keeping your mind focused. These include making a list or timetable of the tasks you have to do, finding a workspace where you’re not tempted to do other things, or chewing some gum! It’s possible the movement in your mouth occupies parts of the brain that might otherwise get distracted.But according to Science Focus magazine, distraction isn’t all bad. “If we were always so focused that we never got distracted, we’d miss potential changes, such as threats, in our environment. Distraction is vital for survival.”19．Which of the following places is better to make you keep focused according to the research?A．An unquiet library.B．A crowded hall.C．A classroom with loud noise.D．A cafe with soft music.20．Why does the author suggest keeping our mind busy?A．To introduce a mental recovery.B．To explain a cultural phenomenon.C．To train our brain to concentrate.D．To recommend an intelligent train. 21．What is Science Focus magazine’s attitude to distraction?A．Negative.B．All-sided.C．Doubtful.D．Puzzling. 22．Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?A．How to Stay Focused B．The Harm of DistractionC．The Benefits of Keeping focused D．The Research about DistractionMy hands were shaking uncontrollably. I tried incredibly hard to focus on the words thatnumerous occasions throughout my life. During college and at my first few jobs, I would get ridiculously nervous when I had to give a presentation or lead a meeting. Public speaking had been my nightmare for as long as I could remember.Then in my mid-thirties, I decided to join the public speaking group Toastmasters. At every meeting, we were rated and forced to compete with other speakers for an award. You would think that I would walk away from these experiences as a polished speaker, but nothing seemed to work.It wasn’t until recently, when science and scientific institutions were being attacked for unfair reasons during the pandemic, that I decided I must speak out. Science has made this country a place where dreams come true— this is why we all need to protect science. In addition, ‘as a science writer, I try to get readers to understand how science is related to their daily lives.So I ended up on that frightening stage on that sunny Saturday in April— Earth Day. Despite the body shakes and fear, I persevered. That day, I looked out into the crowd of like-minded science supporters and I felt comfort.Reaching that milestone goal of getting through a speech truly changed me. At almost forty, I learned that passion can set off a flame in-my heart to do things I never dreamed possible. The darkness that led to my speech is sure to lead to new opportunities and adventures.23．Which of the following can replace the underlined word “conquer” in Para. 1?A．Face.B．Control.C．Forget.D．Develop. 24．How did the author behave about public speaking after leaving Toastmasters?A．He began to feel less worried.B．He became a polished speaker.C．He remained a shy speaker.D．Things became worse for him. 25．What made the author want to speak out on Earth Day?A．It was a good chance to learn science.B．He must rise up to protect his profession.C．It was a project organized by Toastmasters.D．He couldn’t have people attacking science.26．What lesson did the author draw from his successful speech?A．Passion can encourage us to achieve the unachievable.B．Any difficulty can be overcome with great effort.C．Science can lead us to make wonderful changes.D．Failure can be stepping stones to success.Picture this: You’re at a movie theater food stand loading up on snacks. You have a choice of a small, medium or large soda. The small is $3.50 and the large is $5.50. It’s a-tough decision: The small size may not last you through the whole movie, but $ 5.50 for some sugary drink seems ridiculous. But there’s a third option, a medium soda for $5.25. Medium may be the perfect amount of soda for you, but the large is only a quarter more. Ifyou’re like most people, you end up buying the large (and taking a bathroom break midshow).If you’re wondering who would buy the medium soda, the answer is almost no one. In fact, there’s a good chance the marketing department purposely priced the medium soda as a decoy (诱饵) , making you more likely to buy the large soda rather than the small.I have written about this peculiarity (怪异) in human nature before with my friend Dan Ariely, who studied this phenomenon extensively after noticing pricing for subscriptions (订阅) to The Economist. The digital subscription was $ 59, the print subscription was $ 125, and the print plus digital subscription was also$ 125. No one in their right mind would buy the print subscription when you could get digital as well for the same price, so why was it even an option? Ariely ran an experiment and found that when only the two “real” choices were offered, more people chose the less-expensive digital subscription. But the addition of the bad option made people much more likely to choose the more expensive print plus digital option.Brain scientists call this effect “asymmetric dominance” and it means that people prefer the choice nearest a clearly bad option. Marketing professors call it the decoy effect, which is certainly easier to remember. Lucky for consumers, almost no one in the business community understands it.The decoy effect works because of the way our brains assign value when making choices: Value is almost never absolute; rather, we decide an object’s value relative to our other choices. If more options are introduced, the value equation changes.27．Why does the author ask us to imagine buying food in the movie theater?A．To show people’s peculiar shopping behavior.B．To show the increasing variety of snacks there.C．To show how hard it can be to choose a drink there.D．To show how popular snacks are among movie fans.28．Why is the medium soda priced the way it is?A．To attract more customers to buy it.B．To show the price matches the amount.C．To ensure customers drink the right amount of soda.D．To make customers believe they are getting a bargain.29．For what purpose is “the bad option” (Para. 3) added?A．To cater to the peculiar needs of some customers.B．To help customers to make more rational choices.C．To trap customers into buying the more pricey item.D．To provide customers with a greater variety of goods.30．How do we assess the value of a product, according to the passage?A．By considering its usefulness.B．By comparing it with other choices.C．By taking its quality into account.D．By examining its value equation.三、七选五One of the biggest complaints I hear from people is that their friends just aren’t there for them. More than that, sometimes friends are downright (彻头彻尾地) rude or even mean. You can’t change people, but you can surround yourself with more positive people. 31 With positive friends, you don’t need to beg for help when you need it, because the chances are that they will be there for you without your begging. 32 As Dotdash states, ideal friendships provide support when you’re down, fun when you’re up, and wisdom when you’re lost.There are also friends who might snipe (抨击) at you or even laugh at you behind your back. Those people celebrate the downfall of others. 33 Friends of this kind will add to whatever amount of stress you are feeling.34 For example, perhaps you always want to be a writer. The negative people in your life will probably tell you all the reasons why you won’t succeed. Maybe you have already gone over the reasons why you might fail and this is what has prevented you from trying. But with positive people in your life,you’ll feel more comfortable sharing these types of goals because your friends will give you the emotional push you need to go after what you want in life.You naturally attract the kind of friends who are most like you. So if you’re a sad person, you’ll probably find that negative people come to you. 35 The more you are able to maintain a positive attitude, the more like-minded people you’ll attract in return.A．After all, birds of a feather flock together.B．The same is true for the opposite.C．Here are some benefits of spending time with positive friends.D．Positive friends will inspire you to be the best that you can be.E．Positive friends will help you recover from negative hits.F．You’ll end up feeling worse about yourself or the situation you’re dealing with.G．Positive individuals want others to be happy, and will back you when you’re depressed.四、完形填空At 7 a. m. on July 26, I found myself in northern Maine, hiding under a large rock with38．A．arguing B．weeping C．swearing D．sheltering 39．A．tough B．final C．sudden D．demanding 40．A．joke B．habit C．journey D．life 41．A．challenges B．performances C．experiences D．meetings 42．A．Suddenly B．Unfortunately C．Regularly D．Thankfully 43．A．easily B．smoothly C．alone D．sadly 44．A．network B．area C．circle D．situation 45．A．enjoying B．shifting C．relaxing D．trembling 46．A．educated B．overlooked C．welcomed D．defeated 47．A．regarded B．introduced C．remembered D．viewed 48．A．approval B．advice C．energy D．support 49．A．fallen behind B．escaped from C．stayed before D．spied on 50．A．relaxing B．challenging C．beautiful D．Wonderful 51．A．removed B．protected C．benefited D．separated 52．A．succeeded in B．turned out C．took in D．gave away 53．A．danger B．accident C．storm D．trial 54．A．expose B．cover C．discover D．store 55．A．related B．made C．attached D．associated五、根据首字母填写单词单词拼写)六、根据中英文提示填写单词film at the Summer Palace but she was turned down.

No matter what event she attended, a list squad (小队)--which included famous people like Selena Gomez, Zen d and God Ha did -- would be right by her side.But now Swift wants fans to know that her friendships weren't as perfect as she tried to make people believe. In fact, she says she was using her friend group to hide her insecurity(不实全) of feeling “'uncool" and “unpopular". Swift says she went out of her way to show off her squad because she didn't have many friends when she was younger --a memory that still bothered her years later. “Never being popular as a kid was always an insecurity for me,” she says.When she became famous, Swift became obsessed (沉迷) with showing off her popularity. “In my twenties, l found myself surrounded by girls who wanted to be my friends." Swift explains. “So I celebrated my newfound acceptance into a sisterhood." But by constantly putting her friends on display, Swift failed to consider how bad her fans might feel about themselves because they didn’t have a squad like hers. “'I didn't realize that other people might still feel the way I did when I felt so alone," she says.As she became older and more confident in herself, Swift started focusing on the quality of her friends, not the quantity (数量). She says she finally understands that the size of her group doesn‘t mean how “cool" she is. To her, it's much more important to have a few friends who can be trusted rather than a large group of “fair-weather“ friends.While Swift still values her friends she has in her life, she no longer feels the pressure to show off them for the sake of impressing others. “For too long, the opinions of strangers affected how l viewed things, But now I learn not to let outside opinions affect my own life choices.”4. What made Swift show off her list squad?A. The popularity of her friends.B. Her childhood experience.C. The support of her fans.D. Her strong social influence.5. What does paragraph 4 intend to tell us?A. We should make real friends.B. It is important to trust our friendsC, Our friends can affect our behavior.D. There are many ways of making friends.6. What does the underlined word “sake” probably mean in the last paragraph?A. Request.B. Advice.C. Method.D. Purpose.7. From which is the text probably taken?A. A scientific report.C. A travel magazine.B. A social newspaper.D. A movie poster.CWe can learn to be happy but only get lasting benefits if we keep practicing, a new study has revealed.The team behind the University of Bristol's Science of Happiness course had already discovered that teaching students the latest scientific studies on happiness markedly improved their well-being. However, their latest study found that these well-being boosts are short-lived unless the evidence-informed habits learned in the course -- such as gratitude, exercise, or run -- are kept up over the long term.Senior author Professor Bruce Hood said, “It's like going to the gym - we can't expect to do one class and be fit forever, Just as with physical health, we have to continuously work on our mental health；otherwise, the improvements will be temporary.Launched in 2018, the University of Bristol's Science of Happiness course was the first of its kind in the Uk. It involves no exams or coursework and teaches students what the latest peer-reviewed studies in psychology and neuroscience say really makes us happy. Students who took the course reported a 10% to 15% improvement in well-being. However, only those who continued implementing the course learning maintained that improved well-being when they were surveyed again two years later.Professor Hood said, “This study shows that just doing a course is just the start, You must commit to using what you learn on a regular basis. Much of what we teach revolves around positive psychological interventions that take your attention from yourself by helping others being withfriends, or being grateful. This is the opposite of the current 'self-care’ doctrine (学说), but countless studies have shown that getting out of our own heads helps get us away from negative thoughts, which can be the basis of so many mental health problems.8.What does the study find about happiness?A. Happiness can be learned, but we have to work at it.B. Financial success does not produce lasting happiness.C. Happiness is the ability to make the most of what we have.D. Trying too hard to find happiness may have the opposite effect.9. What can we learn from Professor Hood's words?A. Leaming has got to be active and experiential.B. Mental health is as important as physical health.C, Maintaining happiness requires continuous effort.D, Exercise is the best way to keep a healthy lifestyle.10.What words can best describe the course?B. Pioneering and useful.A. Long and complex.D. Interesting and educational.C. Cheap and professional.11. How can we improve mental health according to the last paragraph?B. By focusing on ourselves.A. By interacting with others.D. By avoiding negative friendsC. By learning a new course.DIn the coming decade, space agencies and private space companies like SpaceX are planning to build a base on the Moon and Mars. While scientists are already building rockets for the journey, for long-term human settlements on them, astronauts will need fuel to carry out daily tasks. Many have suggested hydrogen (氢). But a group of scientists is working on turning CO2 in the atmosphere into jet fuel. As Mars is rich in CO2 and the lunar surface has a high concentration of CO2, it may be a feasible solution.For now the team of' scientists at the University of Oxford is focusing on making jet fuel for the aviation (航空) industry, As the aviation industry releases over 900 million tons of CO2 every year to battle climate change, it is necessary to tun the tide, So far aviation scientists have tried to use other energy resources like electricity to fly, But such flights are limited to short distances. For long-distance fights, there is no alternative yet,The concept of turning CO2 into jet fuel is not new, Previously, other similar methods had to rely on expensive catalysts (催化剂) like cobalt to speed up the chemical reaction. But what Oxfordscientists suggest is adding a cheap iron-based catalyst and hydrogen to turn CO2 into liquid fuel. As the process would not require using fossil fuel, it will make the industry carbon neutral (碳中和的)The scientists tested the new catalyst in a lab at 300'C and at 10 times the air pressure at sea level. The entire process took 20 hours and turned 38 percent of CO2 into new chemicals. About 48percent of the chemicals were jet fuel hydrocarbon and the rest were other by-products that are used in the production of plastic.Professor Peter Edwards, a lead scientist in the project, said the new method could be improved in two to three years to produce jet fuel in large quantities. “This is a really exciting, potentially revolutionary advance. Our vision is that the world can see that CO2 collected can be used as an energy carrier to enable sustainable aviation ”12. Which word can best explain “feasible” underlined in paragraph 1?A.
