AI took the bus to work for many years. No one knew each other; the passengers all sat there sleepily in the morning. The bus was cheerless and silent.One of the passengers was a small gray-haired man who took the bus to the center for senior citizens every morning. No one ever paid very much attention to him.One July morning he said good morning to the driver and smiled. The driver nodded guardedly(戒备地). The rest of us were silent.The next day, the old man boarded with a big smile and said in a loud voice: “A very good morning to you all!” Some of us looked up, amazed, and murmured “Good Morning” in reply.The following weeks, our friend was dressed in a nice old suit and tie. His thin hair had been carefully combed. He said good morning to us every day and we gradually began to nod and talk to each other.One morning he even had a bunch of wild flowers in his hand. The driver turned around smiling and asked: “Have you got yourself a girlfriend, Charlie?” We never got to know if his name really was “Charlie”, but he nodded shyly and said yes. The other passengers whistled and clapped at him. Charlie waved the flowers before he sat down on his seat.Every morning after that Charlie always brought flowers. Some passengers also brought flowers for him. The bus became a happy place.Then, one morning, as autumn was closing in, Charlie wasn’t waiting at his usual stop. When he wasn’t there the next day and the day after that, we started wondering if he was sick or—hopefully – on holiday somewhere.When we came nearer to the center for senior citizens, one of the passengers asked the driver to wait. We all held our breaths when he went to the door.The old gentle man was fine, but one of his close friends had died over the weekend. How silent we were the rest of the way to work.The next Monday Charlie was waiting at the stop, stooping (弯腰) a bit more, a little bit more gray, and without a tie. Inside the bus was silent. Even though no one had talked about it, all of us sat there silently, our eyes filled with tears and a bunch of wild flowers in our hands.1. From the passage, we can infer that .A. people always cared about each other on the busB. people were unhappy and sleepy on the bus because they were tiredC. smiles can shorten the distance between peopleD. people are not good at communicating in the country2. What are we sure about the old man?A. His name was Charlie.B. He worked at the center for senior citizens.C. He got sick over the weekend.D. He was in great sorrow when we saw him the next Monday.3. Which of the following is not true?A. The atmosphere on the bus was cheerful and lively at first.B. People were surprised at the old man’s first greeting.C. People were worried about the old man’s absence.D. People on the bus at last shared happiness and sorrow together.4. Which would be the best title for the passage？A. How to Shorten the Distance between PeopleB. Smiles Make a Bus Feel Like HomeC. Charlie, A Smiling Gentle ManD. The Key to Friendship — CommunicationBWant to find a job? Now read the following advertisements.FAIRMONT HOTELFive waiters and Ten Waitresses---Aged under 22---At least high school graduate---Good looking; men at least 1.72 meters tall and women 1.65---Those knowing foreign languages preferred---Paid 1600---2200 dollars per monthOne Secretary---Aged under 30---Female preferred---Good at writing and skilled at computerIf interested, call 465-4768 or write to: Mr. Jack Hundris Room 0825, Fairmont Hotel 567 Wood Street, San Markers, 78003Fax: 6954828WILSON BOOKSTOREAccountant(会计)---Aged between 25 and 40---With an experience of at least two years---With a degree and an accountant certificate(证书)---Paid 3000-4000 dollars monthly---With a knowledge of computerSalesclerk---Basic education of 12 years or more---Good at computer---Paid 1800-2200 dollars monthlyTel: 447-4398 Fax: 34852695.

If you want to get the position of accountant in Wilson Bookstore, you have to satisfy the following conditions EXCEPT ____.A. being a womanB. knowing well how to use a computerC. having been an accountantD. having an accountant certificate7. If you want to try for a job in Fairmont Hotel, you _________ .A. have to be a woman and know foreign languagesB. should be a university graduateC. have to be taller than 1.72 metersD. should be younger than 30 years oldCThe iPhone, the iPad: each of Apple’s products sounds cool and has become a fad(一时的风尚). Apple has clever ly taken advantage of the power of the letter “i” –-- and many other brands are following suit. The BBC’s iPlayer --- which allows Web users to watch TV programs on the Internet ---used the title in 2008. A lovely bear --- popular in the US and UK --- that plays music and video is called “iTeddy”. A slimmed-down version(简装本) of London’s Independent newspaper was started last week under the name “i”.In general, single-letter prefixes(前缀) have been popular since the 1990s, when terms such as e-mail and e-commerce(电子商务) first came into use.Most “i” products are targeted at （针对）young people and considering the major readers of Independent’s “i”, it’s no surprise that they’ve selected this fashionable name.But it’s hard to see what’s so special about the letter “i”. Why not use “a”, “b”, or “c” instead? According to Tony Thorne, head of the Language Center at King’s College, London, “i” works because its meaning has become ambiguous. When Apple uses “i”, no one knows whether it means Internet, information, indi vidual or interactive, Thorne told BBC Magazines. “Even when Apple created the iPod, it seems it didn’t have one clear definition（定义）,” he says.“However, thanks to Apple, the term is now connected with portability (轻便) .”adds Thorne.Clearly the letter “i” also agrees with the idea that the Western World is centered on the individual. Each person believes they have their own needs, and we love personalized products for this reason.Along with “Google” and “blog”, readers of BBC Magazines voted “i” as one o f the top 20 words that have come to define the last decade(十年).But as history shows, people grow tired of fads. From the 1900s to 1990s, products with “2000” in their names became fashionable as the year was connected with all things advanced and modern. However, as we entered the new century, the fashion disappeared.8. People use iPlayer to __________.A. listen to musicB. make a callC. watch TV programs onlineD. read newspapers9. We can infer that the Independent’s “i” is designed for _________.A. young readersB. old readersC. fashionable womenD. engineers10. The underlined word “ambiguous” means “__________”.A. popularB. uncertainC. clearD. unique11. Nowadays, the “i” term often reminds people of the products which are __________.A. portableB. environmentally friendlyC. advancedD. recyclable12. The writer suggests that __________.A. “i” products are often of high qualityB. iTeddy is alive bearC. the letter “b” replaces letter “i” to name the productsD. the popularity of “i” products may not last long第二节（共5小题，每小题1.5分，满分7.5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。

Crowds lined the streets, cheering and waving. Fry rode west for 90 miles at full speed. He then passed a leather bag full of letters to another rider. Eventually a chain of riders carried the letters across nearly 2,000 miles of wilderness, and the Pony Express was born.Between California and the rest of the U.S. lay a vast wilderness. Mail service was slow and often delayed. As war among the states seemed likely, people wanted news more quickly.In December 1859, William Russell, owner of a transport company, decided to meet that need. He and partners William Waddell and Alexander Majors worked constantly for months. They selected a route from St. Joseph, Missouri, to Sacramento, California. Then they purchased 400 horses, hired workers and set up relay stations （导站）every 10 to 15 miles. Riders would change horses at these stations, and every 90 to 120 miles a new rider would take over.Shortly before Jonny Fry set out, another Pony Express rider set off from Sacramento for St. Joseph. These first deliveries reached their destinations in close to the 10 days Russell had promised.But the route was far from safe. On April 18, 1860, a rider’s horse stumbled （绊倒）and fell on the rider, killing him. Riders faced rivers, mountains, extreme temperatures-and very unfriendly natives.In May 1860,tensions between the settlers and Native Americans turned into fighting. Native Americans attacked several Pony Express stations, forcing some of them to close temporarily.Despite the risks, the Pony Express lost only one delivery during its one and a half years in operation. And when Abraham Lincoln was elected president, the Pony Express carried the news to California in only five days. It also spread news of the beginning of America's Civil War.The Pony Express service ended in October 1861 after a telegraph line across the U.S. was completed.Yet the riders' courage and accomplishments still hold a place in legend（传奇）.56. The passage is mainly about the _____ of the Pony Express.A. functionB.influenceC. historyD. operation57. To _____, William Russell decided to set up the Pony Express.A. shorten the time of sending mailB. deliver mail farther and more safelyC. meet people's different needsD. help people keep in contact in war58. What might Russell have promised about the first deliveries?A. To make the destinations closer.B. To make the deliveries within 10 days.C. To ensure the deliveries with two riders.D. To complete the deliveries before the war.59. What can be learned from the passage?A. The Pony Express had an insignificant position in the development of mail service.B. The fighting between the settlers and Native Americans ended the Pony Express.C. The Pony Express became successful as a result of the dangers on the route.D. The Pony Express not only delivered mail but spread news as well.（B）Please Choose Cloud ServicesFinding the Cloud service can be difficult as there are so many available.Consumers need to consider and compare each service’s features, storage possibilities, free space and best price. You may be unsure, or you do not know where to begin. Trying every Cloud service would take a lot of time and work. But, the website might help.CloudDrop-box Google-Drive One-DriveBoxBest For LightweightUsersTeams AndCollaborationDevotedWindowsUsersEnterpriseSolutionsFree Storage Space2GB15GB15GB10GBCheapest PremiumOption1TB100GB100GB100GB One valuable feature is the protection of digital files, including photos, videos, documents, music and more. If the worst happens and your computer crashes, or gets lost or damaged, your files can still be found in the Cloud.Cloud services let you access your files from almost anywhere. No need to worry about a file stored on your computer when you are away from your desk. If you have an Internet connection, you can open your files from any computer, or from a phone, when they are stored using a Cloud service.Using a Cloud service makes sharing files easier. If you send documents to a group using emails, you may then wonder which version everyone is working with. When sharing files using a Cloud service, everyone will see the same document and the latest version.The first thing to consider is the amount of storage space you need. Check how much space you are currently using on your computer and mobile devices. If your computer or phone is filled with photos and you have little free space, you may want to move your photos to the Cloud. Some Cloud services are free. But, if you need a lot of space, you will probably need one that costs money.Even if everyone you have ever met is a Windows user, you still probably want a Cloud service that works with many platforms. You might become friends with anAndroid user or start a job with a company that computes on Apple!60. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. Google-Drive users can obtain 100GB for free.B. Most Cloud services can send files to both the Cloud and the local computer.C. It's hard to transfer your file when you turn on the computer if it is stored in the Cloud.D. Never worry about finding your files in the Clouds if the computer system crashes.61. What will you have to do if you need more space to store more files in the Cloud?A. To use your own Cloud services.B. To share Cloud space with others.C. To spend money buying space.D. To buy the latest version of the service.62. How can consumers find the Cloud service that suits them best?A. By learning more information about the space occupied by files.B. By comparing Cloud’s function, storage, available space and prices.C. By sending files to a group of people via e-mail inquiring about the Cloud service.D.By making friends with Android users who use Apple computers.（C）Every day, Lucy Dong and her best friend Amy Zhu wake at 7 a.m. -- 7.10 a.m.If they are lucky---rush through their breakfast of steamed buns and noodles, and head off to what may be the best schooling system in the world.The 10-year-olds, who are natives of Shanghai, study in 35-minute bursts from around 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., with a small break for lunch -- and a class meeting --- sandwiched in the middle.Outside school hours, the girls' lives are lots of extra-curricular activities: English class, flute class, drumming class, handwriting class, calligraphy class, Taekwondo training, modelling lessons and choir practice.Shanghai was crowned --- for the second time …the champion of the Programme for International Student Assessment （PISA., which compares the maths, reading and science skills of some 510,000 secondary school students around the world）.Some experts question the value of comparing cities and countries. Others point out that Shanghais relatively well-funded schools and well-paid teachers are not representative of the Chinese education system as a whole.Even so, the latest results are likely to see more and more educators flock east in search of the mega-city's magic formula.Professor Kong Lingshuai of the College of Education at Shanghai Normal University has studied the city'sPISA successes. He says that the secret is a mix of "traditional elements and modern elements". The former is related to the high expectations of "tiger" parents, and a belief in Chinese children from a young age that effort is crucial to gaining a good education. The "modern elements" include Shanghai's willingness to constantly adapt its curriculum and teaching practices; its focus on improving under-achieving schools by pairing them with those that excel; its openness to foreign ideas; and the introduction of performance-related pay.An obsession with training has also been the key, says Prof. Kong. As of last year, new teachers have to undergo a standardized, one-year training course before starting in the classroom. Once qualified, they are required to complete at least 240 hours' training in their first five years, including online learning, paper reading, essay writing and so on. Teachers are also encouraged to attend each other's classes to promote a culture of "idea sharing, exchanging and positive competition".Outsiders often dismiss China's education system as a pressure-cooker-style craze of exams that places too much emphasis on rote-learning and does little to stimulate creativity. But in Shanghai at least, that may be starting to change. Authorities are attempting to move away from testing that relies too heavily on memorizing facts and figures, and some schools are also giving students more time to play, rather than just study.63. The author mentions Lucy Dong and Amy Zhu in the first 3 paragraphs to ________.A. praise the industriousness of these two girlsB. give readers the whole picture of Chinese educationC. illustrate what education in Shanghai looks likeD. criticize the burden the education brings on them64. Why do some experts challenge the result that Shanghai ranked 1st in PISA test?A. Because the value of PISA, which only tests 510,000 students globally, is cast doubt on.B.Because Shanghai has drawn more attention and resources from the central government.C. Because only maths, reading and science skills are compared in PISA test, which is not enough.D. Because Shanghai has a better system of financial support for schools as well as for teachers.65. Which of the following is closest in meaning to "dismiss"in the last paragraph?A. To consider something inferior.B. To stop thinking about something.C. To give the credit for something.D. To claim the features of something.66. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. Strict parents contribute little to the academic success of their children.B. Students have more free time to spend on their interest across China.C. Many education researchers are getting to Shanghai to study the phenomenon.D. Under-achieving schools are usually substituted by those academically superior schools.（D）A. Holidays are when my family gathers and has a good time together,B. School education has civilized me with a mind for peace and calm.C. My parents raised me with a lot of beliefs that have had an effect on who I am today.D. Summer is the time when we always organize some special events as a big family.E. However, I know that it is important to follow the golden rule and to treat others with dignity and respect.F. We take care of each other and try to treat others with respect.What Makes Me "Me"?My culture comes from where I am from and where I was raised. I am an American.I was born and raised in Alaska. My ethnic background is German, English, and Scottish. Culture is all about family. It is a family's belief systems, the cultural traditions that are celebrated, and the special holidays and events that occur in the year._____67_____These are the beliefs that don't just belong to my culture, but they come straight from the values of my family. I believe that women are more intelligent than men because my mother is a strong woman. I was raised to believe that through hard work I could become successful and have a good life. I strive to do this every day and to be good at my life and my jobs. I'm not really religious. _____ 68_____ I believe that if you are a good person to others you will be rewarded for it in many ways.There are a lot of cultural traditions that my family has. Some are from my cultural background and some are from the place where I was raised. I raise my son to have manners and to be well behaved. I raise him to know that hard work is important and that he is expected to put his best effort into things._____69_____We gather every summer in Haines so that all the cousins can grow up together. Birthdays were always important events while growing up. My mom was excited to celebrate every holiday. Trick or treating on Halloween, hiding baskets on Easter, passing out cards to classmates on Valentine's Day, wearing green on St. Patrick's Day, and of course loads of presents under the tree on Christmas morning. My parents always made holidays a big deal so now my son also gets to be excited for them every year.My culture makes me a person that celebrates life. My family has a lot of good friends and we are usually a good part of the community. ______70____ We like to go outdoors and have adventures. My belief systems, cultural traditions, and special events have made me a happy person who is fun to be around and who can have a positive impact on others.Keys31-35 JAFKE36-40 GCBHICloze41-45 ACDCB46-50 ADBDA 51-55 ACBDAReadingA:56-59 CABD B:60-62 DCB C:63-66 CDAC D:67-70 CEAF。

She plans to publish an album (音乐专辑) with three other music lovers whom she met at the 2016 Campus Singing Competition. Edward, 18, is another one of the four students to make their own album. Actually he was the one who came up with this fun idea in the first place.“Everyone loves music. Being a good way to express our feelings and emotions, music can tell something about who we are and our experience of the world. We hope we can use our music to touch our peers (同龄人),” Edward said.The album includes 15 songs on three themes-love, campus life and youth, with pop and electronic music styles. The inspiration for the songs came from the students’ lives. Take the song Sea of Tranquility for example—it was written by Edward during a flight back to Chengdu after he took part in the China High School Biology Olympiad in summer. “The sky is clear and the ground looks small from the plane. This scene makes me feel calm and peaceful,” Edward explained.The songs were created one by one with the efforts of the four writers. But a challenge soon appeared. The students found that they didn’t have enough money to produce the album. So to cut down their costs, they used an iPad and headphones to record the songs in an empty classroom on the weekend.Apart from reducing their costs, they also tried to raise money through crowdfunding on the Internet. They raised more than 7,000 dollars before the album was published in October. “Thanks to all the supporters, we’ll keep working on our own music,” Edward said.4.

Scientists say the paddlefish, also called the Chinese swordfish, is believed to have a lineage dating back at least 34 million years. With its long nose and mouth, the paddlefish could grow as long as seven meters.But a research paper recently published in Science of the Total. Environment reported the paddlefish was now extinct. The researchers include scientists from the Chinese Academy of Fishery Sciences, Britain’s University of Kent and the University of South Bohemia in the Czech Republic.The paper says the paddlefish was announced extinct for two reasons. It said that the fish was not able to survive because of widespread overfishing and damage to its native environment in the Yangtze River.Researchers discovered 332 different species of fish in the Yangtze River in 2017 and 2018. But they did not find a single Chinese paddlefish They guessed the fish disappeared between 2005 and 2010. The extinction of the Chinese paddlefish was “a huge loss” to nature.Pan Wenjing is a forest and ocean expert with Greenpeace East Asia. “The ecology of the Yangtze River is almost in ruins due to human activity in past decades” Pan said. She stressed that Ch ina had taken measures to improve the Yangtze’s environment, including a 10-year ban (禁令) on fishing. After the extinction was reported in the news, some Chinese media and Internet users took a look back at the large creatures. Many people appeared to have not heard of the Chinese paddlefish before it was announced extinct.“Every time I see the news of another species going extinct, heart starts to ache,” wrote one Weibo user. “Humans should not live alone on this planet,” the user added.12.

What can be a suitable title for the text?A．Fishing is not allowed in the Yangtze RiverB．Few people are familiar with the Chinese paddlefishC．The Chinese paddlefish has been announced extinctD．Damage to the environment has bad effectsWhat is the best sleep position for your health?It’s difficult to control what sleeping position we naturally fall into, as our body will subconsciously all into the most comfortable position for us. However, some positions are better for you than others and come could hold back your health and wellbeing. 16 .If you sleep on your sideMore than 60 per cent of people sleep on their side. Often our body naturally moves to this position, which is linked to when we were in the womb in the foetal(胎儿的) position. 17 It offers a number of benefits to your body, from promoting healthy spine alignment(脊椎对齐) which can help to prevent back pain to reducing heartburn and snoring(打鼾).If you sleep on your backLying on your back is the second most popular sleeping position and offers just as many benefits as side sleeping. When you’re sleeping on your back, it’s easy to keep alignment and to also evenly distribute your weight. 18If you sleep on your stomachSleeping on your stomach is the least common sleeping position. 19 . And those who sleep on their stomach could put themselves at risk of a less restful night’s sleep. The stomach offers the least amount of back support and can increase pressure on the spine which may cause pain once you wake up.20 You should consider various factors such as if you snore or suffer sleep problems, or if you often have back and neck pain. Side sleeping has been noted as the best position for the body, so this is probably one to try and get into the habit of trying, but again, it all depends on you.Although Cuban built a tech company that would finally make him extremely rich, he never showed off that. “I never, ever thought about _________,” he said.

湖北省荆州市沙市区沙市中学2024-2025学年高一上学期9月月考英语试题
湖北省荆州市沙市区沙市中学2024-2025学年高一上学期9月月考英语试题一、阅读理解Sri Lanka is a nice place for wildlife lovers. Here’s what you’ll find in some of its national parks.Horton Plains National ParkDrive time from Colombo: Five hoursIn the central highlands, Horton Plains is located in the highest plateau (高原) of Sri Lanka. The cloud forests here are rich in plants and animals that have got used to the cooler climates. Birds such as the whistling thrush and Sri Lanka n bush warbler are best seen here.Minneriya National ParkDrive time from Colombo: Five-and-a-half hoursThick woods surround lakes and contain many animals, but animal-viewing is generally poor, except for the wonderful seasonal gathering of elephants. The gathering takes place in Minneriya during September and October.Yala National ParkDrive time from Colombo: Six hoursYala is in the southeast of Sri Lanka. Its top view is the Sri Lankan leopard (豹). In June and July, slot h bears are often seen. The beautiful areas also have a lot of birds. Enthusiastic bird watchers should also visit Bundala National Park (an hour away) or the Palatupana Salt Pans (ten minutes away). Visitors can also go surfing in Arugam Bay (three hours away).Wilpattu National Park Drive time from Colombo: Four hoursWilpattu, Sri Lanka’s largest park, is in the dry lowlands of the country’s northwest and has some small lakes. The park reopened in 2003 after 15 years of closure. Wilpattu was famous for its leopards, and big-cat lovers are hoping for this return. The park’s animals are similar to Yala, but visitors also have a chance of seeing barking deer.1．How long does it take to drive from Colombo to see seasonal elephants?A．4 hours.B．5 hours.C．5.5 hours.D．6 hours. 2．Which of the following is closest to Yala National Park?A．Colombo.B．Arugam Bay.C．Bundala National Park.D．The Palatupana Salt Pans.3．What do we know about Wilpattu National Park?A．It was known for its leopards.B．It is made up of Sri Lanka’s largest lake.C．It lies on the highest plateau in Sri Lanka.D．It’ll welcome barking deer as its new visitors.“When I was young, I had so much energy and I loved building things. If I had an idea, I had to build it right now using what I could find around me,” says Danish artist Thomas Dambo. When Dambo was seven years old, he bought a mountain of cushions (垫子) from a nearby market to build a game room in his parents’ house. As a teenager, he built a “crazy” castle in his backyard.Years later, 42-year-old Dambo is proudly showing his latest work: a giant (巨人) called Little Lui. Five meters tall, Little Lui is one of the six giants placed in the corners of Peel Region of Western Australia, which will be on show for at least a year. This work makes Dambo’s giants up to 99 around the world. His gentle giants have found homes in many different countries, as far as the United States, Belgium, China, Denmark, South Korea and now in Australia.“For me, giants represent (代表) the voice of nature,” Dambo says. This deep respect for nature is the focus of Dambo’s building works. Dambo’s giants are made almost from local recycled wood: their faces from second-hand furniture and their hair from tree branches and leaves. Taking about 750 hours to complete, each giant is built out in nature.“I hope by visiting the giants, people will think of rubbish as a resource. I think it’s really important that next generations are connected to nature,” Dambo says. “That’s why I tried to build the giants to attract young people. I want people to be inspired and to realize they don’t need a lot to create something big and beautiful.”4．Which of the following can best describe young Dambo?A．Creative.B．Homesick.C．Powerful.D．Frightened. 5．What can we know about Little Lui?A．It is kept underground.B．It’s Dambo’s first giant.C．It will be shown to the public.D．It will be sent to Denmark.6．What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?A．The comments on the giants.B．The appearance of the giants.C．The basic theme of the giants.D．The expensive materials of the giants. 7．What does Dambo plan to do with his giants?A．Inspire more people to take adventures.B．Encourage the young to approach nature.C．Help people spend less time playing games.D．Call on the young to save natural resources.Though the FIFA World Cup came to an end in December 2022, the people of a particular city in China were busy making soccer history of their own.Zibo in Shandong province is called “the home of soccer ball”, being the birthplace of the ancient Chinese sport of cuju. Modern soccer sport started in England, but cuju won recognition (认可) from FIFA, as the earliest form of soccer in 2004．“Side-flicking”, “chest down” and “shoulder stopper” are some of the key moves acquired by cuju players. Li Weipeng,34, from Linzi district of Zibo city, is a seventh-generation inheritor (传承人) of cuju. He has been practicing these skills for 18 years.Acquiring different cuju skills is not easy. “At the beginning, I spent eight hours a day practicing juggling (颠) a ball. It was tiring,” Li said. He is now able to juggle a ball with his foot over 10,000 times in a row (连续地).Teaching students cuju moves is a part of Li’s job. The traditional Chinese sport cuju is now popular at primary and middle schools in Linzi. Its moves have been adapted (改编) into dances and morning exercises. “Students show great interest in playing cuju, which encourages me to promote (推广) the ancient sport,” Li added.Moreover, cuju has also become a platform for cultural exchanges. During the World Cup in Qatar, Li introduced cuju at a China-Qatar youth exchange activity held in Doha. He led Chinese and Qatari youth players, wearing traditional cuju costumes, to experience the ancient game. Many soccer fans watched them, cheered for them and gave them the thumbs-up. Many people were curious and wanted to communicate with the cuju players.8．Where is the birthplace of cuju?A．Zibo.B．England.C．Doha.D．Qatar.9．How old was Li Weipeng when he began to learn cuju?A．14 years old.B．16 years old.C．18 years old.D．34 years old. 10．How did Li Weipeng feel when he first practiced juggling a ball?A．Excited.B．Curious.C．Tired.D．Confident. 11．What encourages Li to promote cuju?A．His experience in cuju.B．The popularity of soccer.C．The need of cultural exchanges.D．Students’ interest in cuju.It was a quiet early afternoon in the library, and we librarians were enjoying a chat at the library desk. Suddenly, a regular reader, who had been reading a magazine, marched up to us, gave us an annoyed “Shush (嘘)!” and went back to her seat.Shocked into silence, we tried not to laugh. How strange for a group of librarians to be shushed by a reader! Shouldn’t it be the other way around?Well, it seems hard to explain. If you’re a baby boomer (婴儿潮出生的人) like me, you probably remember libraries as places of adults’ silent reading. These days, however, libraries are more like busy community centers, where being noisy to some degree is the new normal, especially when kids are taking part.I am a loud librarian. My voice is naturally on the louder side. The hundreds of programs I led as a children’s librarian were filled with singing, dancing, movement exercises and cheerful readings of books with crowds of children and their caregivers. No shushing allowed!Growing knowledge about the importance of kids and teens learning through hands-on experiences has since caused a sea change in how public libraries connect with young readers. These types of programs like board games, poetry reading and story times certainly aren’t designed to be silent.But it’s a balancing act. Not all readers—or librarians—like the idea of a noisy library. It’s clear to me now that on the day my colleagues and I were shushed by a reader, we should have been using our “library voices” as we talked. Still, it’s unlikely that libraries will ever return to the days when they were places of silence. There’s just too much fun and learning happening. I heartily agree with my friend Rachel Payne, an early-childhood service educator at the BrooklynPublic Library, who told me, “When I visit a library and it is quiet, I always feel a bit sad. A library where conversations are happening and tables are full is a very good thing!”12．How did the author think of the shush from a reader?A．Unexpectedly funny.B．Really annoying.C．Quite necessary.D．Very heartwarming.13．What can be inferred about today’s libraries?A．They serve kids only.B．They become quieter.C．They are less popular.D．They have different functions.14．Why does the author quote Rachel Payne?A．To show different voices.B．To express the author’s idea.C．To make the end interesting.D．To promote a new reading method. 15．What is the best title for the text?A．How to Act in the Library B．It’s OK for a Library to Be NoisyC．Why to Keep Silent in the Library D．It’s Necessary for Librarians to ChangeIn 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 turn 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 flights, 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 Oxford scientists 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 carbonneutral (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 48 percent 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.”16．Which word can best explain “feasible” underlined in paragraph 1?A．Unique.B．Practical.C．Time-tested.D．Quick.17．What problem does the aviation industry face?A．It is suffering from a serious fuel shortage.B．The traditional jet fuel is much too expensive.C．Climate change partly disturbs long-distance flights.D．Its alternative energy resources are not powerful enough.18．What do we know about the Oxford scientists’ method of fuel-making?A．It is green and cost-saving.B．It is complex and time-consuming.C．It runs tests in natural environment.D．It starts with immediate chemical reaction.19．What’s the purpose of the author?A．To attract people to explore the space.B．To inform us of a breakthrough in fuel research.C．To warn us the dangers of climate change.D．To encourage us to work in the aviation industry.Being a teenager is difficult, as many people expect you to be perfect in many different things — school, sports, chores, etc. 20 What really matters is trying to be better, and having the confidence to pursue your dreams. The following are some tips for you to deal with theimperfection of life.Make a series of goals to help reach your dreams. 21 You will not become the most popular kid at school, the best soccer player, or an award-winning filmmaker overnight, but you can start taking steps now to make these goals a reality.22 Volunteering, tutoring a friend, and helping your parents around the house aren’t just nice things to do, and they can improve your own well-being. Doing good makes you feel good and it builds a loving, supportive network of people around you.Give yourself some “me time” each day. Each day, take 15 minutes or more to yourself.23 Distance yourself from other people, if only for a few moments, and relax. Let your brain free from all the stresses that hit you each day. This is one of the easiest, best ways to find yourself and your goals.Remember that life isn’t perfect and that is a good thing. 24 But these issues are all chances to improve yourself, and how you react to the bad times is far more important than the bad times themselves.A．Have an active social life.B．Make time to help others.C．Perfection only comes one small step at a time.D．Exercise! It helps with stress, and may even make you happier than usual.E．However, true perfection is impossible.F．There will always be mistakes, setbacks, misunderstandings, and bad luck.G．You could read, listen to music, go for a walk, or simply lay in bed.二、完形填空Afraid to have a start, I was walking slowly into my first school in America.

Let’s get started by checking out Student Guide for your academic journey!Signing up for ESL (English as a Second Language)ESL courses are designed to help international students improve academic English language skills. Enrollment (课程注册) priority is given to degree students. If space is available, you may enroll. You will then be asked to take an ESL Placement Test. The test results will help you choose the class that is appropriate for vou.Changing Your Course Enrollment ListYou may change your class schedule during the first two weeks of the term by adding or dropping courses from your enrollment list. After the second week of classes, there will be a charge for each schedule change. Students often attend classes in which they are not enrolled on the first day of instruction to try adding this new course to the list, as other students may have dropped it.Withdrawing from CoursesIf you choose to drop a course, you must follow the UCLA procedures for removing it from your schedule. If you forget to officially drop that course, a “F” (Fail) grade will be registered on your record at the end of the term. If, at a later date, you wish to apply for a job or graduate school where an official copy of your UCLA record is required, it will be to your advantage to provide an impressive academic record.Taking ExamsSome instructors choose to put previous test papers on library reserve, making themavailable to all students. These exams, which students commonly use for practice, can give you an idea of how instructors ask questions and what they regard as relevant material. You can also access the exams online.16．An ESL Placement Test is aimed to ________.A．improve the students’ language skillsB．encourage the students to answer questionsC．put the students in a class that fits themD．help the students apply for a degree17．What is the deadline for a free enrollment list change?A．The day when the class is full.B．The first day of instruction.C．The first week of the class.D．The end of the second week.18．What should exchange students do if they choose to stop taking a course?A．Seek assistance from UCLA officials.B．Go through the procedures to drop it.C．Present past academic records to UCLA．D．Make a request to the Registration Office.19．Working on previous tests helps students ________.A．imitate the way that their instructors write test questionsB．learn how questions are asked and what they are based onC．come up with new ideas about how testing relates to teaching X.D．narrow down to what has not yet been covered in online testsMy grandma passed away last week. My mum began the painful yet necessary task of sorting through her belongings.“Is there anything you want from grandma’s flat?” Mum texted me.“Her aloe (芦荟), please.” I required zero thinking time.Sometime around 1975, Grandma, always believing good things would happen in the future, received this plant as a gift, which she appreciated and placed in her doorway. It came from thelocal butcher. Five years later, my mum married the butcher’s son and had me. Grandma revealed to me this particular plant was a living relationship between the two families. And so was I.Recently, whenever we visited Grandma’s flat, I attempted to fix this concept in my children’s minds. “That was a gift your great-grandma bought your other great-grandma! It’s older than me!” Then my kids would nod and ask Grandma for a sweet.Numerous times, Grandma gave me cuttings or clippings of the plant, hoping I might raise my own and continue the legend. Yet, every time, my new branch died with my awful gardening skills. But that didn’t used to matter, because I could turn to Grandma, who would wait and accept my disturbance without becoming upset. Then I got another clipping and tried again. But now I can’t. So, I decided that the plant will go and live with Ann, my mother-in-law, who is a genius with a greenhouse.The plan is for Ann to keep hold of the original plant. In time, she can teach me how to deal with its cuttings properly, and then maybe one day I can settle the plant in my place.In the meantime, Ann will allocate (分配) clippings among my relatives, as Grandma used to do. My wife’s two sisters, for example, are both better at tending plants than I am, so it is quite imaginable that they, too, will offer cuttings of the plant to their partners, spreading this loving plant across my entire extended family.20．Why did the author want his grandma’s aloe?A．He wanted to pass it down to others.B．He showed a preference for gardening.C．He had a pleasant memory of the plant.D．He received it as a gift from his grandma. 21．Which of the following best describes the author’s grandma?A．Optimistic and patient.B．Generous and helpful.C．Honest and fashionable.D．Humorous and skillful.22．The author took the aloe to his mother-in-law toA．display his skills in gardening B．have the plant better cared forC．announce his grandma’s death D．protect the plant from dying out23．What may be the best title for the text?A．Aloe: my family bond B．Aloe: a mysterious plantC．Grandma: my life coach D．Grandma: a lovely gardenerLanguages have been coming and going for thousands of years, but in recent times there has been less coming and a lot more going. When the world was still populated by hunter-gatherers, small, tightly knit(联系) groups developed their own patterns of speech independent of each other. Some language experts believe that 10,000 years ago, when the world had just five to ten million people, they spoke perhaps 12,000 languages between them.Soon afterwards, many of those people started settling down to become farmers, and their languages too became more settled and fewer in number. In recent centuries, trade, industrialization, the development of the nation-state and the spread of universal compulsory education, especially globalisation and better communications in the past few decades, all have caused many languages to disappear, and dominant languages such as English, Spanish and Chinese are increasingly taking over.At present, the world has about 6,800 languages. The distribution of these languages is hugely uneven. The general rule is that mild zones have relatively few languages. Often spoken by many people while hot, wet zones have lots, often spoken by small numbers. Europe has only around 200 Languages: the Americas about 1,000, Africa 2,400; and Asia and the Pacific perhaps 3,200, of which Papua New Guinea alone accounts for well over 800. The median number(中位数) of speakers is a mere 6，000, which means that half the worlds languages are spoken by fewer people than that.Already well over 400 of the total of 6,800 languages are close to extinction(消亡), with only a few elderly speakers left. Pick, at random, Busuu in Cameroon (eight remaining speakers), Chiapaneco in Mexico(150). Lipan Apache in the United States(two or three) or Wadjigu in Australia (one, with a question-mark): none of these seems to have much chance of survival. 24．What can we infer about languages in hunter-gatherer times?A．They developed very fast.B．They were large in number.C．They had similar patters.D．They were closely connected25．Which of the following best explains "dominant" underlined in paragraph 2？A．Complex.B．Advanced.C．Powerful.D．Modern.26．How many languages are spoken by less than 6, 000 people at present?A．About 6,800 .B．About 3,400C．About 2,400D．About 1,200.27．What is the main idea of the text?A．New languages will be created.B．Peoples lifestyles are reflected in languages.C．Human development results in fewer languages.D．Geography determines language evolution.The kids are hanging out. I pass small bands of students, on my way to work these mornings. They have become a familiar part of the summer landscape.These kids are not old enough for jobs. Nor are they rich enough for camp. They are school children without school. The calendar called the school year ran out on them a few weeks ago. Once monitored by teachers and principals, they now appear to be “self care”.Passing them is like passing through a time zone. For much of our history, after all, Americans arranged the school year around the needs of work and family. In 19th-century cities, schools were open seven or eight hours a day, 11 months a year. In rural America, the year was arranged around the growing season. Now, only 3 percent of families follow the agricultural model, but nearly all schools are scheduled as if our children went home early to milk the cows and took months off to work the crops. Now, three-quarters of the mothers of school-age children work, but the calendar is written as if they were home waiting for the school bus.The six-hour day, the 180-day school year is regarded as something holy. But when parents work an eight-bour day and a 240-day year, it means something different. It means that many kids go home to empty houses. It means that, in the summer, they hang out.“We have a huge mismatch between the school calendar and realities of family life,” says Dr. Ernest Boyer, head of the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching.Dr. Boyer is one of many who believe that a radical revision of the school calendar is inevitable. “School, whether we like it or not, is educational. It always has been.”His is not a popular idea. Schools are routinely burdened with the job of solving all our social problems. Can they be asked to meet the needs of our work and family lives?It may be easier to promote a longer school year on its educational merits and, indeed, the educational case is convincing. Despite the complaints and studies about our kids lack of learning,the United State still has a shorter school year than any industrial nation. In most of Europe, the school year is 220 days. in Japan, it is 240 days long. While classroom time alone doesn’t produce a well-educated child, learning takes time and more learning takes more time. The long summers of forgetting take a toll.The opposition to a longer school year comes from families that want to and can provide other experiences for their children. It comes from teachers. It comes from tradition. And surely from kids. But the most important part of the conflict has been over the money.28．The current American school calendar was developed in the 19th century according to ______.A．the growing season on nation’s farmB．the labor demands of the industrial ageC．teachers’ demands for more vacation timeD．parents’ demands for other experiences for their kids29．Why is Dr. Boyer’s idea unpopular?A．He thinks that school year and family life should be considered separatelyB．He argues for the role of school in solving social problems.C．He strongly believes in the educational role of school.D．He supports the current school calendar.30．“The long summers of forgetting take a toll” in the last paragraph but one means that ______.A．long summer vacation changes the way of learningB．long summer vacation has been abandoned in EuropeC．long summers result in less learning timeD．long summers are a result of tradition31．The author thinks that the current school calendar ______.A．is still appropriate B．is out of dateC．is inevitable D．cannot be revised三、单词拼写32．At first I disagreed, but on (反思),I realized she was right.(根据汉语提示单词拼写) 33．Children have a natural c (好奇心) about the world around them. . （根据首字母和汉语提示写出单词）34．His best movie, which won several a (奖), was about the life of Gandhi.

Grammar and VocabularySection A （10分，每题1分）Directions: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passages coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.Digital twins are fast becoming part of everyday lifeWhen visiting a doctor a few years from now, you can expect to be accompanied by a virtual version of yourself. This so-called digital twin will be a __21__ (work) model of your body that can be summoned（传唤）onto a physician’s computer screen. __22__ (update) with your latest vital signs, it will help the doctor make an accurate diagnosis. It also opens the door for medicines and procedures designed specifically for you, greatly increasing recovery rates.This might seem like fantasy, but the foundations are being laid. Researchers at Queen Mary University of London already use computer simulations of the hearts of individual patients __23__ (evaluate) different treatments for atrial fibrillation（心房颤动）, a common disorder. __24__ would be far too risky to experiment this way on someone’s real heart. __25__ other organs also being twinned by scientists, it seems likely they will eventually link up to form a virtual body.As our Science & technology section reports, digital twins are starting to pop up everywhere. They began as basic computer models of physical objects and systems. __26__ computers have become more powerful, twins have become more sophisticated. Complex design and modelling software means many physical objects initially take shape in the virtual world. Small sensors, capable of measuring all sorts of things, __27__ (feed) twins with real-time data, ensuring that they mirror their physical counterparts. A Formula 1 racing car, for instance, may have more than 250 sensors updating its digital twin during a grand prix.The use of AI takes all this much __28__ (far), allowing virtual models to become more sophisticated, and to both simulate and optimize activities in the real world. You __29_worry that this signals a dystopian （反乌托邦的）future; Morpheus, a character in a science-fiction film from 1999 __30____30__ a perceptive machine conquered humanity through pervasive virtual reality, had a name for it. He said: “The Matrix is everywhere. It is all around us.”Section B（20分，每题2分）Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each wordat the federal level was the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act in 1998, long before the arrival of __35__ smartphones and social media. That means parents havebeen without effective recourse and tech companies have had little legal accountability when it comes to children, __36__ to external temptation.That is the context in which we must __37__ last week’s Senate vote to pass the Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA) by a vote of 91-3. The bill is a critical and urgently needed step forward to protect America’s kids online.Senator Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.), one of the bill’s sponsors, criticized tech executives in a January hearing. Big Tech’s approach to young users is even worse than that. Tech companies not only exploit children, luring them into offering themselves to the digital world for consumption in order to make the companies money, but ensure that children become addicts. Smartphones and social media are not designed to be used __38__.KOSA aims to reorder tech companies’ priorities, requiring them to design their products with children’s health and safety in mind. The bill creates a duty of care, which would make online platforms responsible for preventing and __39__ a list of specific harms. They include promotion of suicide, eating disorders, substance abuse, and advertisements for unlawful products for __40__ . Tech companies would be legally liable and could face litigation from the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) for failing to enact these protections.III. Reading ComprehensionSection A（15分，每题1分）Directions:For each blank in the following passages there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Too Much of Our Seafood Has a Dark SecretNot that long ago, if you saw a piece of fish on your plate, you wouldn’t have thought to ask where it came from or whether it was sustainable.That began to change in the 1990s as __41__ groups fought to protect all kinds of life in the ocean from overfishing. After persuading Congress to create and enforce strict plans to __42__ species, they set in motion a virtuous cycle that made seafood, from the mighty swordfish to the humble sea scallop, __43__ again. New rules for other species have had similarly __44__effects. Sea turtles that once drowned in shrimp nets can now escape. Fewer diving seabirds are getting caught on fishing lines. And limits on fishing smaller species such as menhaden mean that whales off our coasts have more to eat and today can be seen cavorting （欢腾）within sight of the Statue of Liberty. __45__, American commercial and recreational fisheries generated 35 percent more sales in 2022 than in 2018.But walk into your local supermarket, and you may still be buying snapper blasted from their reefs by Indonesian fishermen using dynamite or __46__ caught yellowfin tuna and squid. U.S. fisheries may be much improved, but up to 80 percent of the fish and shellfish on American plates is imported. Much of it comes via obscure international seafood conglomerates（企业集团）that purchase fish from companies that have been __47__ fishing against the law and profiting from forced labor, as the nonprofit Outlaw Ocean Project has documented.We in wealthy nations unwittingly support these abuses by using the world’s supply of fish __48__ it is a limitless line of credit. But this credit is running out. The global catch of fish and other wildlife in the ocean peaked in the 1990s and has since __49__ steadily downward. Soon, not even forced labor may be able to __50__ profit out of the remaining wild fish.Expanding fish farming, or aquaculture（水产业）, was once thought to be a potential __51__ to this problem, but it has also not, as hoped, given wild fish the break they need. Salmon and shrimp, Americans’ favorite farmed seafoods, are still fed to wild fish caught in poorly regulated foreign waters. Highly nutritious fish, such as anchovies and sardines, that make up 20 percent to 30 percent of the global catch are fed to salmon and shrimp - a striking __52__ of protein.Clearly, both wild and farmed seafood have a long way to go before they are actually __53__. So what do we need to put truly safe, resilient and ethically procured fish and shellfish on everybody’s __54__? Consumers can make better choices, but to move past depletion and abuse, governments need to institute new fishery management laws, __55__ by rigorous enforcement.41.

A. accompanied B. reflected C. excluded D. launched Section B （22分，每题2分）Directions:Read the following four passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)“Anita Bhagwandas is really ugly.” This was a comment that had been left on an online forum 10 years ago in reaction to a picture of me alongside my colleagues. “Trolls will be trolls," friends comforted me when I told them about it. They told me that I should forget all about those words. But I couldn't let “ugly” go.I've had a complex relationship with that word my whole life. Growing up in Walesduring the 1990s and 2000s as a plus-sized, dark-skinned Indian girl, I wanted to look like anyone other than myself.This discomfort followed me from my teens all the way up to my university and adult life---an imaginary friend was always there to remind me of my lowly place in the world. Overtime, it developed into an obsession with thinness and all that it promised: prettiness, acceptance, success. I, like many others, have been on and off some type of diet throughout my life. It feels like a never-ending game of chess, using protein bars and fried chicken as pieces.To say that trying to navigate this internal concept of “ugly” shaped my life would be an understatement. It affected everything, including my career: I became a beauty editor. I was driven by the knowledge that the industry needed to be more inclusive.Working on the inside of the beauty industry, I started to notice some changes. Around 2010, social media gave people a voice and more control over what magazines and brands were creating for them. Now, consumers were increasingly being told to “love the skin you're in” or to feel like you're “worth it.”I finally found some comfort---but it wasn't because of the popular slogan “love yourself as you are.” That never worked for me because it didn’t go deep enough. But when I started to read about how beauty standards were created, who created them and who was holding the puppet strings that are making so many of us feel ugly, things started to gradually change.I developed some self-protective methods to counter the wrongness of the beauty standards I’d been sold my entire life. Today, I still buy beauty products, but I do so because I love their smells, their designs and their textures, so purchasing beauty products has become much of a pleasurable experience for me. It makes a big difference to your mindset when you are using beauty products for joy, rather than to look prettier, thinner and younger.Am I fixed? Do I walk around giving myself high fives in wing mirrors and windows? No. But I do feel so much more at peace with my appearance.I've come to learn how important it is for me to root my self-worth in the qualities that really define me---my character and positive traits. Once I had done so, I started to realize that ugly is an ever-changing concept---and the biggest lesson I've learned is never to trust those binary（二元对立的）categories. “Pretty” and “ugly” don'tactually exist.56. When the author was called ugly by strangers online, she__________.A. just laughed it offB. was really astonished about itC. tried to pay no attention to itD. felt as uncomfortable as she had as a child57. What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 3 imply?A. The author’s diet is unhealthy and unbalanced.B. The author has been following a very strict diet plan.C. The author finds it beyond her intelligence to make herself a diet plan.D. The author has long battled between eating fattening foods and struggling to lose weight.58. We can learn from the article that the author became a beauty editorbecause__________.A. she wanted to fulfill her childhood dreamB. she aspired to broaden the public perceptionC. she wished to explore the true standards of beauty herselfD. she hoped to prove herself to those who looked down upon her59. The author’s perception of herself improved significantly_________.A. after having worked in the beauty industryB. when she learnt about the secrets behind beauty standardsC. when she defined her self-worth based on her good qualitiesD. after having been inspired by the slogan “love yourself as you are.”(B)Road Bike Vs Hybrid Bike – Choosing the Right Bike Road bikes are all about speed and performance, aiming to be the quickest bike possible. Hybrid bikes take characteristics from both road and mountain bikes. Is one better than the other? We’ll unpack everything there is to know about them and how they differ.PerformanceRoad bikes are more performance-driven. The weight of frame plays a big part in a bike’s speed. The industry standard for building the lightest bikes is to construct carbon fiber frames. While aluminum bike frames are only a half-pound to a pound heavier, that difference can go a long way. A majority of road bikes are built with carbon and a majority of hybrids are built with aluminum or steel.ComfortThe hybrid wins the comfort battle. One of the quickest ways to distinguish a hybrid bike from a road bike is by looking at the handlebars. Hybrids typically come with flat bars making the stability and turning easy and comfortable. Whereas the drop bars commonly found on a road bike can be challenging to stabilize for inexperienced cyclists.ComponentsA bike’s components include brakes, shifters, chain, etc. Although there can behigh-end components on hybrids and low-end components on road bikes it doesn’t typically shake out to be that way. Expect hybrids to be equipped with lower-end components and road bikes to be equipped with the higher end ones.TouringBoth bikes can be used for touring. But hybrid bike frames are typically more durable for long multi-day adventures because they can sustain the extra weight of luggage, say, pannier(货篮) bags for camping vacations.Before purchasing, be sure to locate a local bike rental shop to get familiar with a bike. Testing out a bike in the parking lot of a bike shop won’t do your purchase justice. Instead, be sure to take the road bike vs hybrid battle to the streets. No matter which bike you choose you are guaranteed to enjoy your rides knowing that you’ve picked the best bike for you.60. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. Compared with carbon fiber frames, aluminum bike frames are a half-pound to a pound heavier and don’t result in much difference in speed.B. It’s not common to see low-end components on hybrids and high-end components on road bikes.C. Before purchasing a bike, taking it to the parking lot of a bike shop to test out is not recommended by the author.D. Hybrids have an edge over road bikes only from the perspective of comfort.61. Jack, an inexperienced cyclist, chooses to buy a hybrid bike instead of a road bike for his five-day adventurous trip possibly because____________________.A. a hybrid bike has an additional drop bar to keep balanceB. a road bike is not suitable for touringC. a road bike challenges a rider’s flexibilityD. a hybrid bike can sustain more weight62. What’s the purpose of the passage?A. An advertisement for a bike rental shop.B. A paper analyzing the differences between two kinds of bikes.C. A guide on how to choose between two kinds of bikes.D. News on road bikes and hybrid bikes.(C)An Internet privacy bill introduced by Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto would prohibit discriminatory data practices. That is a good goal. But which practices qualify as discriminatory is a complicated question.Privacy activists have long stressed that data over-collection and misuse cause disproportionate harm to minority groups. Often, that harm is prohibited by existing civil rights rules. But those rules were put into place before anyone could have imagined an age of digital discrimination, and companies are avoiding them.Take targeted advertising. Leaders in the industry make money by allowing advertisers to select the very specific group of the population they think are most likelyto want their products. Sometimes, those categories are the same classes of people that civil rights law exists to protect, such as minorities and women.That can lead to forms of marketing that are not hidden at all: say, promoting women’s shoes exclusively to potential customers who have displayed an online interest in women’s fashion. It can also lead to obvious abuses, such as companies displaying housing ads only to mainstream individuals, whether by explicitly excluding minorities or engaging in digital redlining via Zip code restrictions. An expanse of gray lies in between. Regulators will have to decide whether to limit anti-discrimination rules to areas where there are traditionally heightened protections or whether — and how — to push beyond those frameworks. And they will have to address how platforms’ traditional immunity from obligation for users’ actions runs up against any new rules.Lawmakers will also have to look at data-based discrimination that is not designed to have a negative impact on protected groups but does anyway. An algorithm(算法) that adjusts an ad’s audience to maximize engagement could end up showing a job posting only to men if men click on it most frequently — which could occur for a profession historically unfriendly to women. The same unintentional discrimination can occur in hiring, loan approval and elsewhere: Tools trained with information from years of totally different treatment often keep up those unfair outcomes.There’s an added wrinkle. Sometimes, targeting sensitive advertisements based on protected characteristics can actually promote equality. Directing education opportunities to an underserved community is a kind of advertising affirmative action that regulators should take care not to prohibit.Whatever Congress decides — Ms. Cortez Masto’s bill would leave the particulars to the Federal Trade Commission— any law should require that companies of a certain size study how their algorithms do, or don’t, hurt the vulnerable. In the data privacy debate, generalized philosophical complaints can sometimes overshadow concrete harms. Putting the discriminatory use of data front and center focuses discussion of a federal framework on what it actually ought to do: protect Americans, especially those who need it most.63. What is the purpose of the privacy act?A. To prevent data discrimination.B. To put into place civil rights rules.C. To stress the harm of data over-collection.D. To work out the complicated discrimination question.64. What problem will regulators have to face?A. Whose action run up against any new rules.B. How to address customers’ immunity from obligation.C. Which areas are changed from traditionally heightened protection.D. Whether to restrict or expand the application of anti-discrimination.65. Which of the following statement is true according to the passage?A. Some data-based discrimination hurts more men than women.B. Advertisements targeted on underserved groups can bring positive effects.C. Concrete harms can be solved if there’s less philosophical complaints.D. There are distinct line between targeted marketing and obvious abuse.66. Which is the best title?A. Protecting Digital Privacy.B. Overstating Digital Protection.C. Defining Digital Discrimination.D. Adding Wrinkles to Advertisement. Section C（8分，每题2分）Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.Giving Robots a Fleshy Face and a SmileIf humanoid robots look a bit cold-would it help if they had fleshy faces that can smile at you?A research team in Japan has created a face mask from human skin cells and attached it to robots with a novel technique. _____67_____. This outward layer, the researchers say, is both elastic and durable enough to protect robots while making them appear more human.“Human-like faces and expressions improve communication and empathy in human-robot interactions,” said Shoji Takeuchi, the study's lead researcher. “This further makes robots more effective in health care, service and companionship roles.”Beyond expressiveness, the “skin” can self-repair and heal._____68_____.The novel skin attachment method advances the newborn “biohybrid” robotics field, said Kevin Lynch, an expert on robotics and biosystems. This field integrates mechanical engineering with genetic and tissue engineering. “This study is an innovative contribution to the problem of anchoring artificial skin to the underlying material,” said Lynch. Takeuchi's team has been working with labmade human skin for years. In 2022, they developed a robotic finger covered in living skin._____69_____.The team had tried anchoring the skin with mini-hooks, but those caused tears asthe robot moved. The researchers then decided to mimic ligaments(韧带), the tiny ropes of loose tissue that connect bones. They drilled small, V-shaped holes into the robot and applied a gel，which plugged the holes and made the artificial skin attach to the robot. “This approach integrates traditional rigid robots with soft, biological skins, making them more ‘human-like,’” said Yifan Wang, a mechanical engineer._____70_____. “This could create opportunities for the robots to sense and safely interact with humans," Wang said.The faces of the robots with artificial skin in Takeuchi's lab are unable to sense touch or temperature change. Takeuchi said that is his next research target.“We aim to create skin that closely resembles real skin by gradually constructing essential components such as blood vessels, nerves and sweat glands,” he said.In place of the neural systems that convey sensation in a human body, a robot's electronics would need to power a sensor signal. This development, Wang said, would require much more time and research.IV. Summary Writing (10分)Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.Buy Experiences, not PossessionsOver the past several years, researchers have conducted scientific studies suggesting experiential purchases (such as travel, and outdoor activities) tend to bring people more happiness than material ones (for instance, clothing, and electronic goods). Recently, they have investigated another downstream consequence.They conducted a series of 13 experiments, asking people to think about either experiential or material purchases and then rate feelings on nine-point scales. In some studies, people reported feeling more ties with someone who had made the same experiential purchase than someone with the same material purchase. Owning the same T-shirt or sneakers as someone else is an interesting coincidence, but hiking the same trail or seeing the same performance makes people feel more connected. This reflects the fact that experiential purchases are more central to an individual’s identity because this kind of consumption tends to represent more of one’s true, essential sense of self.These findings apply even when people think about how their experiences differ. Researchers asked participants to consider a situation in which they met someone who had made a similar experiential or material purchase, but the other person’s purchase was “upgraded”. Even in these cases, experiences were more likely to foster connection between people than material items were.Knowing that another person has a better version of what you have can create a sense of social distance. What researchers observe, however, is that this distance feels less wide when it comes to experiential purchases. Although unpleasant social。

Then he said to the three hundred students, “ Who would like this $100 bill ?” The students began to put up their hands at once .Then he said, “ I’m going to give this $100 bill to one of you , but first ,let me do this .” He then made the bill into a hall . Then he said , “ Who wants it now ?” The hands went back into the air .“ Well,” he said , “ what if I do this ?” and he dropped it on the floor and stepped on it . He picked up the dirty , crumpled bill and said , “ Who still wants it ?” Hands went back into the air.“ My friends ,” he said , “ you have learnt a valuable lesson today . No matter what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it didn’t go down in value . It was still worth $100 !”“ Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled, and stepped on by the chances we take and the things that happen to us . We feel we are worth nothing . But remember , no matter what has happened to you , you will never lose your value: You are always valuable to those people who love you .

They’re using their cellphones to read books, listen to music, chat with friends and surf the Internet—an average of 124 minutes a day for high school girls and 94 minutes for boys. The cellphones will eventually become their main means of communication. Education professor Tetsuro Saito said a survey of 1,600 middle school students aged around 14 found that about 60% carried cellphones and nearly half used them to send 20 or more emails a day.Most middle school cellphone users almost never used their phones to talk, the survey found. Saito said children seemed to want the security(安全) of communicating with someone, without the bother of dealing with a real person. “Communication ability is sure to decline(下降) as cellphones and other devices are now getting among people,” he said.Tony, a student , said, “ I send some 20 emails a day. There’re people I don’t talk with – even if I see them at school. I just exchange emails with them. I guess we’re connected only by a machine.”Saito’s survey found that students can also use their cellphones as an emotional support. More than 60% of students who said they don’t enjoy being with their families send 20 or more emails a day , compared with 35% of those happy with their families.25. High school students use their cellphones in many fields EXCEPT _______.A. in their studiesB. in communicationC. in entertainmentD. in committing crimes(犯罪)26. One of the reasons why students like using cellphones to communicate is that _______.A. they feel it embarrassing(尴尬的) to deal with others face to faceB. they like to make others feel uneasy(不安的) with their phonesC. they feel safer to use cellphones than meet a real personD. they feel it more convenient to send emails with cellphones27. Which of the following opinions does the author mostly hold?A. It is necessary to forbid middle school students to use cellphones.B. There are more benefits than harm to kids behind cellphone screens.C. Teenagers have become victims(受害者) of cellphones.D. There is a very scary world behind cellphone screens.CThe following are a few cities with cheap attractions or restaurants in California , the US.Cathedral CityThe Indian Oven in the city will give you a high quality dining experience. It’s a restaurant with traditional Indian dishes. All the lunch specials are $5.95 and are served from 11:30 am to 2:00 pm. The windows of the restaurant give you the beautiful views of desert mountain scenes. You need to call 92234(760)770-3918 to book a table.Palm DesertPalm Desert, a city in Riverside County, has a number of free desert hiking trails(小径). They are named after famous Western Hollywood cowboys. The trails are fun to hike on. At some points they grow up very high and you can get a bird’s eye view of the surrounding desert cities. The paths are dusty, so bring some good hiking boots and hats. Do bring some water and your phone. It’s great for an afternoon hike after 2 pm. Call 92260(760)340-0574 or 92253(760)564-4712 to learn more.Lake CahuillaAway from the busy streets of the city of Palm Springs, Lake Cahuilla is a great recreational(娱乐的) area you can visit in La Quinta. It is at the foot of the Santa Rosa Mountains. It costs $3.00 for per person to enter the area, but a half for kids under 7. The activities include: fishing, bicycling, and horseback riding. If you want to save on rooms, you can stay in an RV. Call 92278(760)664-7215 and you’ll learn something else.28.

Palm Desert has been deadly polluted by human activitiesD. staying in an RV costs less than staying in a hotel room31. This article may come from the section of _____ in a newspaper.A. newsB. entertainmentC. travel sportsDMaybe you are an average student. You probably think you will never be a top student. This is not necessarily so, however. Anyone can become a better student if he or she wants to. Here is how.Plan your time carefully. When you plan your work, you should make a list of things that you have to do. After making a list, you should make a schedule of your time. First, set aside your time for eating, sleeping, dressing, etc. Then decide a good regular time for studying. Don’t forget to set aside enough time for entertainment. A weekly schedule may not solve all your problems, but it will force you to realize what is happening to your time.Find a good place to study. Look around the house for a good study area. Keep this place, which may be a desk or simply a corner of your room, free of everything but study materials. No games, radios, or television! When you sit down to study, concentrate on the subject.Make good use of your time in class. Take advantage of class time to listen to everything the teacher says. Really listening in class means less work later. Taking notes will help you remember what the teacher says.Study regularly. When you get home from school, go over your notes. Review the important points that your teacher mentioned in class. If you know your teacher is going to discuss the next day, read the material. This will help you understand the next class. If you do these things regularly, the material will become more meaningful, and you will remember it longer.Develop a good attitude towards tests. The purpose of a test is to show what you have learnt about a subject. They help you remember your new knowledge. There are other methods that might help you with your study. you will probably discover any others after you have tried these.32. A schedule will help you _______.A. finish your homework quicklyB. find more time for your hobbiesC. know what is happening to your timeD. solve all your problems33.
