He wasn’t good at music or sports. He had an ordinary face and a personality to match. He didn’t get invited to many 12 .Jamie was not likely to become famous, or rich, or popular.

the diamond-shaped patch（补丁）on backpacks that seems,at best,someone's strange idea of a design feature.But it proves that the patch is actually very useful for staying organised.The slotted（有开槽的） patch,which is typically found on the front of backpacks,is called a "lash tab"，and is made to hold your lash tab spare clothing on ropes.For hikers and backpackers,that might mean hanging items that you often reach for,such as a water bottle,and for employees carrying a backpack to the office,it might mean hanging headphones or electronic chargers through the slot for easy access.Lash tabs once appeared only on backpacks created for adventures in the great outdoors,but in recent years it has become an important part on a variety of backpack styles.The blog Carryology reports that lash tabs were once a "leather patch that let you pass a bit of webbing through it to fasten items to your pack".Since then,the tabs have been adapted using many different styles and materials.If your backpack comes without the tabs and now you don't know how you'll live without them,you'll be relieved to learn that the styling of lash tabs has become so popular that you can now purchase your own and attach them to your favourite backpack.The tab can also prove useful for travellers,as you can even thread the laces of shoes through the tab to let them hang off your pack,giving you extra space in your checked luggage or carry-on.（1）According to the passage,some backpacks have lash tabs to ___ .A.carry more itemsB.look more beautifulC.show a design featureD.draw people's attention（2）From the passage,we can learn that lash tabs ___ .A.are designed only for outdoor adventurersB.have been developed into various stylesC.can be designed by the usersD.are all made of leather（3）What is the purpose of the passage？ ___A.To offer comments.B.To give advice.C.To make recommendations.D.To provide information.11.（填空题，8分）When senior leaders at toymaker Lego first learned that adults were buying large quantities of their plastic bricks and getting together to build Lego creations of their own,"they thought it was very strange," says Smith-Meyer. "Before the late 1990s,the company didn't think their adult fans had value," says Smith-Meyer. "Leadership actually thought adults were having a negative impact on the brand." Thanks to a handful of employees who worked to coupling bricks change attitudes inside the company,gone are the days when labels on Lego boxes stated that the contents were appropriate only for children ages 7 to 12.Lego's newest marketing motto is "Adults Welcome."Today Lego is the world's largest and most profitable toymaker.The enthusiasm and buying power of adult fans of Lego played a major role in the company's rise to the top.But insiders say the road from "kids only" to "adults welcome" was a long,uphill climb.Lego founder Ole Kirk Kristiansen always knew he wanted to market his products completely to kids.When Kristiansen started The Lego Group in 1932，he made wooden toys that were intended for children.In 1946，he began making plastic toys.In 1958，he and his son developed the first coupling bricks,the basic design of which hasn't changed much over the years.They're even used together with bricks made today.As the company grew over its first six decades,few imagined that its products could attract as many adults as children.Then attitudes began to shift in the late 1990s and early 2000s when Lego posted its first-ever loss in 1998.By 2003，when it reported a﹩238 million loss,the company was looking seriously at bankruptcy（破产）. "Those were Lego's dark days," McKee says.In the wake of the crisis,"Everyone suddenly wanted to see what designs I'd been working on with adult fans," McKee says.In August 2005，when Lego CEO Jorgen Vig Knudstorp attended a fan meeting,he saw for himself the sea of adult supporters. "I see a future where we will be working more closely together," he recalls.The booming partnership would eventually produce some of the company's most popular and profitable themes,including Lego Creator and Lego's Ambassador Network,and the company's first-ever official fan conference：2021's Lego Con."Lego used to treat their adult customers like goods；today,they treat them like partners," McKee says.（1）What did Ole Kirk Kristiansen do in 1932？ ___A.He developed the first coupling bricks.B.He and his son invented wooden toys.C.He began making plastic toys.D.He set up his toy company.（2）Lego changed its attitude towards its adult fans when the company ___ .A.was faced with a business crisisB.started treating them like goodsC.got financial support from themD.found its products less attractive to kids（3）What can we learn from the passage？ ___A.Lego was forced to replace wooden toys with plastic ones.B.Lego's basic design of the first coupling bricks are still in use.C.Lego's partnership with gifted kids produced popular themes.D.Lego has targeted adults as potential customers since it was founded.（4）What is the passage mainly about？ ___A.The world's largest and most profitable toymaker.B.Lego's shift from "kids only" to "adults welcome".C.Lego's dark days of the creation of plastic toys.D.The brief but awesome history of Lego.12.（填空题，8分）Many children's hospitals already have storytelling programmes that aimto cheer up patients.But new research suggests that storytelling also has physiological（生理的）benefits. "Until now,the positive evidence for storytelling was based on 'common sense' that interacting with the child may distract,entertain and reduce psychological suffering," said Dr Jorge Moll,of D'Or Institute for Research and Education（IDOR），Brazil. "But there was a lackof a solid scientific basis.""During storytelling,something happens that we call 'narrative transportation'.Thechild,through fantasy,can experience sensations and thoughts that transport him or her to another world,a place that is different from the hospital room,and is,therefore,far from the unpleasant conditions of hospitalization," says Guilherme Brockington.The team,based at IDOR and the Federal University of ABC，Brazil,studied 81 children between the ages of two and seven,all of whom were in the intensive care unit（ICU）at a hospital in São Paulo.A group of 41 children each had a session with a storyteller,lasting 25 to 30 minutes.A control group of 40 children each had the same amount of time with the same professionals,but they told riddles instead.Before and after the sessions,the team took saliva （唾液）samples from each child and assessed their pain level.The saliva samples allowed the researchers to measure levels of the hormone cortisol,which is related to stress,and the hormone oxytocin,which plays a role in empathy（共情）.Both groups of children benefited from the sessions：they all had less cortisol and more oxytocin in their saliva,suggesting they were less stressed,and they reported less pain and discomfort.However,the results were twice as strong for the storytelling group as the control group.At the end of the sessions,the children also took part in a word-association exercise including words like 'hospital'，'nurse' and 'doctor'.The team said that children from the control group said "this is the bad woman who comes to give me an injection" in response to the pictures of a doctor or a nurse,while the storytelling group said "this is the woman who comes to cure me"."I consider this study to be one of the most important I have participated in,due to its potential direct impact on practices in the hospital environment,aiming at the relief of human suffering.We intend to support volunteering devoted to the noble activity of storytelling,now with more solid scientific evidence," said Moll.（1）According to the passage,"narrative transportation" indicates children ___ .A.feel that they are placed into the world of a storyB.fire up their imagination and expand their horizonsC.have more empathy with the characters in the storiesD.experience the unpleasant conditions of hospitalization（2）In Para.3，the author mainly tells the readers about ___ .A.the application of the researchB.the purpose of the researchC.the limitation of the researchD.the process of the research（3）How does the author present the findings of the research？ ___A.By making comparisons.B.By giving definitions.C.By presenting examples.D.By analyzing cause and effect.（4）Which of the following may be the response from the storytelling group？ ___A.A hospital is the place where I go when I'm very sick.B.A hospital is the place where I get an injection in my arm.C.A hospital is the place where I am taken care of to feel better.D.A hospital is the place where I'll have to take some medicine.13.（填空题，8分） We often work to save the most charismatic （有超凡魅力的） species in the world.Is it time to think beyond pandas and tigers？Take a good look at the American burying beetle.Today it is assessed as critically endangered.Like the tiger,the beetle is orange and black；like the tiger,the beetle is decreasing in number.The tiger is an instantly recognizable symbol of species conservation,but most people aren't familiar with the beetle.the American burying beetleThis phenomenon is called the domination of flagship species where organizations use charismatic organisms（生物）such as tigers to increase support and funding for conservation.That's largely because humans are attracted to large-bodied animals with forward-facing eyes,humanlike traits that make such species more relatable.As a result,many less well-known organisms fail to get the support and funding to ensure their survival even though they play an important role in the ecosystem.Which species could be saved？They may not charm us with fuzzy paws and puppy dog eyes,but many ignored species deserve some love.The world needs to better recognize the contributions of these underdogs rather than "only spending money on cool species," says conservation scientist Bob Smith.I suspect that most of us who care about animals could agree on this：Charisma is in the eye of the beholder.In that case,can't we broaden the list of animals considered popular and even beautiful？University of Kent conservationist Bob Smith says we can—and there's a name for them：Cinderella species.These are mostly threatened animals that are still very popular with the public yet are typically overlooked as flagships.Smith is convinced that "less well-known and less popular species can still be good flagships with more marketing effort."In a recent study,Smith settled another myth about poster animals：that they don't help publicize the world's most species-rich and threatened places.A prioritization（优先次序）model Smith created showed that the most important conservation hot spots worldwide alsoare home to more than 500 flagship and Cinderella species,and that drawing more attention to Cinderella species could boost funding and public campaigns for habitat protection.Let's be clear,though：It's still OK to root for pandas and tigers. "The reason I got into conservation is that I liked these species," Smith says. "That is fair enough.But it's our job as conservationists to try to inspire people to love other species too."（1）According to the passage,people are unfamiliar with the American burying beetle mainly because ___ .A.it is critically endangeredB.it is decreasing in numberC.it is not a flagship speciesD.it is not instantly recognizable（2）It can be learned from the passage that ___ .A.Cinderella species have made threatened species well knownB.Cinderella species are popular but ignored endangered animalsC.flagship species have raised enough funds for endangered organismsD.flagship species and Cinderella species usually live in the same areas（3）The underlined phrase "root for" in the last paragraph probably means ___ .A.take control ofB.get close toC.show support forD.check up on（4）Which of the following would be the best title for the passage？ ___A.It's Time to Study Cinderella SpeciesB.Who Should Decide Which Species to Save？C.Do Flagship Species Help or Hurt Conservation？D.Conservation Can't Just Be a Popularity Contest14.（填空题，14分）significant benefit anxious appear advertisement comfort novel （1）The twins are alike both in ___ and in character.（2）Sit in the sofa,enjoy beautiful music and make yourself ___ .（3）Exercising regularly and eating appropriately are ___ to our health.（4）The teacher encourages us to read English ___ to expand our vocabulary.（5）Her voice was full of ___ when she learnt her mom was sent to the hospital.（6）If you want to attract more customers and market your products,try to ___ in the local paper.（7）Students' academic performance and physical health have been improved ___ since the new policy was carried out.15.（填空题，1分）Just imagine this time next year,we ___ （lie） in the sun in Sanya.16.（填空题，1分）My car won't start - I'll have to go to a garage and have it ___ （fix）.17.（填空题，1分）Comedy, ___ styles are varied,is simply a funny way of being serious.18.（填空题，1分）___ （communicate） with your parents can help them understand you better.19.（填空题，1分）Foreigners found ___ interesting to watch crosstalk in a traditional theater.20.（填空题，1分）Mary was pleased to see the seeds that she ___ （plant）in the garden coming out.21.（填空题，1分）Experts suggested ___ （raise） people's awareness of environmental protection.22.（填空题，1分）The problems, ___ we have in our daily life,may be inspirations for great inventions.23.（填空题，1分）Some pre-school children go to a day care center, ___ they learn simple games and songs.24.（填空题，1分）I am sure you will do better in the coming examination,since you ___ （study） so hard for months.25.（问答题，2分）她急切地想体验新生活。

Students Go Phone﹣FreeA middle school in Union County，New Jersey，is forcing its students to staydisconnected in class，by prohibiting cellphones．Maxson Middle School Principal Kevin Stansbury put forward the phone ban last week after he noticed some major issues in the school．"Our test scores were down，discipline was up，" he says．According to him，students were too focused on their phones to pay attention to their lessons．So，he purchased Yondr pouches for the school．When students come into class each morning，they place their phones in the pouch，which is then locked up tight．It can only be opened using a special device at the end of the day．The ban on mobile devices applies not just during class time but during breaks，with the only exceptions being in times of emergency or in cases of students who need such devices to help with disabilities．Eighth﹣graders who spoke with News 12 New Jersey say that they noticed a change in a matter of hours．"It's just better for everyone because you'll understand how it feels to get more work done instead of paying attention to the phone，" says student Charlene V．"I'm usually listening to music，but today I got to communicate with all my friends，" says student8Desiree Duncan．The program was originally met with resistance from students and parents，so the process was not that smooth．But teachers and administrators say that the program will have a major impact．"Students were talking and laughing and there were no cellphones other than being carried in the pouches，" Stansbury says．Teacher Nia Cummings says she even noticed students bouncing ideas off each other in class．She says students used to give up quickly and just look for answers on their phones．She says they now try to figure it out themselves．"Everyone is socializing and eating lunch together．That's what I wasn't seeing enough of when phone usage was at its worst，" she adds．Maxson Middle School is currently the only one in the district to use these pouches．Kevin Stansbury also called on all the schools in the community that it's worth paying close attention to cellphone issues at secondary schools and taking actions when necessary．（1）Maxson Middle School put forward the phone ban because students．A．weren't focused on school workB．were always listening to musicC．used phones to cheat on examsD．stopped talking with others（2）What did the two eighth﹣graders tell the newspaper？A．Opposition from students．B．Teamwork with friends．C．Daily routine at school．9D．Effect of the program．（3）According to Nia Cummings，what change has the phone ban brought？A．Students discuss more in class．B．Students finish their work on time．C．Students guess the answers themselves．D．Students check messages during the break．（4）It can be inferred from the passage that the phone ban．A．has brought little change to teaching and learningB．has gained support from every student and parentC．might be carried out in other schools in the communityD．might have good influence on students' health conditions12．（8分）Living alone in nature is the kind of decision that looks great on paper．You could move away from the pressures of city life，to somewhere with a lower cost of living and more privacy．You could enjoy scenic views all year round，and adopt a simpler way of life．It's not hard to see the appeal of this at all．But what happens when that all goes wrong？Paul Kingsnorth is a distinguished writer﹣his novel The Wake was longlisted for the Booker Prize and won the Gordon Burn Prize．His books help develop an awareness of place and history，so it's not hugely surprising that his latest book，Savage Gods，is about his own10rural existence．Savage Gods is in part about Kingsnorth，his wife，and their children moving to western Ireland．He writes，"In my country a small house and a field is beyond the means of anyone who doesn't earn much money or who refuses to get into debt to chase a dream．" It's a feeling that anyone who's looked longingly at rural tiny houses miles from anyone else can relate to．But Kingsnorth is aware that this is only part of the story．"Because I am not a real farmer，I have to make my money in other places，" he writes，"I need the Internet or the Dublin﹣to﹣Holyhead ferry and sometimes both to put food on my family's table．" To make matters worse，Kingsnorth's isolation（隔离）results in a crisis of confidence in his own writing abilities﹣which becomes one of the central themes of Savage Gods．Kingsnorth isn't the only writer to make time spent in a vivid countryside landscape sound less enjoyable than one might expect．The French writer Sylvain Tesson takes this to what may be its most extreme point in his book．He lived alone for six months．His book includes impressive descriptions of the landscape and what it's like to experience depression in the middle of such a landscape．Some books neatly remind you of the appeal of such an existence，while others make the drawbacks central to their accounts．In Names for the Sea，Moss summarizes the attraction of wilder places．"We'd come for the landscape，for the pale nights and dark shores，rain sweeping over trees and bushes，" she writes．From that，it's not hard to see why a life in nature﹣even with its potential downsides﹣still appeals to so many．（1）According to Paragraph 1，living in isolation makes people．A．look greatB．reveal their privacyC．overcome pressuresD．enjoy a lower living cost11（2）What does the underlined word "this" in Paragraph 3 refer to？A．Paul Kingsnorth helps readers develop an awareness of time and space．B．Paul Kingsnorth starts to have doubts about his ability as a writer．C．Paul Kingsnorth's family live comfortably in a rural house．D．Paul Kingsnorth couldn't afford a tiny rural house．（3）What do you know about Paul Kingsnorth？A．He thinks it a perfect idea to live alone in nature．B．He earns money somewhere else to make ends meet．C．His latest book is about the attraction of wilder places．D．Living in the countryside landscape results in his depression．（4）Why does the author mention Sylvain Tesson and his book？A．To inform readers of a famous French writer．B．To praise him for his marvelous writing skills．C．To explain how to live in the peaceful countryside．D．To emphasize more writers experience similar problems．13．（8分）Elon Musk，perhaps the world's most famous businessman，has a habit of making statements that stretch the bounds of believability．On July 16th，2019，he introduced a new type of brain﹣machine interface （BMI），starting from the design of a "neural lace （神经织网）"，a net of thin electrodes （电极）that capture the information from the brain．However，the electrodes must be flexible，so that they do not damage brain tissue and will last for a long time．And to make the implantation （植入）of so many electrodes safe，painless and effective，the process has12to be automated．Mr．Musk's team does indeed seem to have made progress towards these goals．Its presentation included videos of a robot that is best described as a sewing machine．This robot grabs "threads"，and shoots them deep into the brain through a hole．The firm has also designed a chip that can handle signals from as many as 3，072 electrodes．With all these technological breakthroughs，the firm now hopes to help people overcome such illnesses as blindness and paralysis．They designed a small device that would sit behind someone's ear，picking up signals from the implanted chip and passing them on as appropriate．In a few years，using a brain implant to control your devices may be as prevalent as wearing wireless earphones today．Finally，Musk predicts neural lace will allow humans to be combined with AI systems，thus enabling the species to survive．Though，as this announcement shows，Mr．Musk does have a habit of presenting himself as the hero of the human race，the idea that some machines at least will come under the direct control of human brains seems possible to be carried out．The biggest barrier to this happening will probably not be writing the software needed to interpret brainwaves，but rather persuading people that the necessary surgery，whether by sewing machine or otherwise，is actually a good idea．（1）We can learn from the first two paragraphs that．A．electrodes should be flexible to extend lifeB．Elon Musk constantly comes up with unexpected ideasC．a neural lace is used to store information from the brainD．electrodes are implanted by top surgeons for safety reasons（2）What does the underlined word "prevalent" in Paragraph 4 probably mean？A．Useful．13B．Common．C．Professional．D．Appropriate．（3）What is the hardest part of carrying out BMI？A．Convincing people to accept the surgery．B．Developing devices to perform the surgery．C．Writing the software to interpret brainwaves．D．Informing people of the success of the surgery．（4）What is the best title of this passage？A．The Neural Lace，A New Type of BMI．B．Elon Musk，the Hero of Human Beings．C．Artificial Intelligence，the Way to Survive．D．A Brain Implant，A Step to Control Machines．I.
