The sentence "Respect our staff，volunteers，and the other people around you." should be putin ______ .A. ④B. ③C. ②D. ①RThe next day，some men took Tom and seven other slaves to Mr.Skeggs's slave warehouse，which was a large house where the slaves could have food，rest and wash the day before an auction.This was so that they looked good and their price could go higher.In the morning Mr.Skeggs and his men took the slaves to the market，where the traders could examine their muscles，their teeth and their bodies in the same way they examined horses or cows.There you would find an abundance of husbands，wives，brothers，sisters，fathers，mothers，and young children，to be sold separately，just to suit the need of the masters.Among the salves for sale there were Susan，and her beautiful daughter Emmeline.When a gentleman bought Susan，she asked him，"Please，Master，buy my daughter too!Don't separate us!""I'll try，but I don't know if I can，" he said.But Emmeline was too beautiful and her price went too high for him.A horrible man called Simon Legree，who owned a cotton plantation on the Red River，bought Emmeline，Tom and a few other slaves.The gentleman was sorry，but，then，the thing happens every day. The moment he saw Legree，Tom knew he was in trouble.The horror increased as he came near.He seized Tom by the jaw，and pulled to open his mouth to check his teeth；made him strip up his sleeve，to show his muscle；turned him round，made him jump and spring，to show his paces.They got on a steamboat and left New Orleans.On the lower part of a small，mean boat，on the Red River，Tom sat，with chains on his hands，chains on his feet，and something heavier than chains on his heart.All had faded from his sky，moon and star；all had passed by him，as the trees and banks were now passing，to return no more.Nothing remained of what he once had：his wife and children，St Clare's home，Eva，St Clare's promise of freedom.—Taken from Uncle Tom's Cabin34. Why were the slaves taken to the warehouse before an auction？______A. To satisfy the need of the masters.B. To make the slaves' price go higher.C. To make the slaves look clean and good.D. To examine the slaves' muscles and bodies.35. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 4 mean？______A. Mothers and children were always sold separately.B. Legree bought salves at the market every day.C. The gentleman felt sorry from time to time.D. The auction of slaves took place every day.36. What can we infer according to the passage？______A. Simon Legree bought Susan，Tom and a few other slaves.B. Tom sat on the lower part of a small boat in New Orleans.C. St Clare was nice to Tom and his home was a happy place for Tom.D. Emmeline was too beautiful and her price went too high for the man.37. What is the LAST paragraph mainly about______A. The sweat memory.B. Tom's journey.C. The beautiful view.D. Tom's desperation（绝望）.SMy AI friendI've spent a month using ChatGPT every day，and I think my life will never be the same.The bad news is that ChatGPT is going to take my job.Like many foreigners in China，I make a living from my English skills.In my case，mostly as an editor （编辑）.My bread and butter comes from editing text into smooth passages that a native speaker can read without too much effort.I'm pretty good at my job，but I'm sad to say that ChatGPT is even better at it. ChatGPT turns out to be excellent at generating headlines.On a story about education segregation in the US，it suggested the headline "Unzipping the Education Gown：America's Inequality Exposed."The good news is that ChatGPT makes me more efficient，and a better friend.It even makes me smarter. For example，my kitchen was in a mess and I didn't know how to reorganize it.I described my kitchen，and it gave excellent advice，including exactly what should go on each of the seven shelves，and where to put the pots.It even told me to stop storing my potatoes and carrots beside each other，because "they release gases that can cause each other to spoil more quickly."When I needed to prepare for my baby's first birthday party，it came up with an entire menu，including a special "smash cake" my girl could eat with her hands，and told me to relax. "Ultimately，the most important thing to create a welcoming and enjoyable atmosphere for your guests，and to focus on spending time together and having fun，" it reminded me.As I continue to depend on ChatGPT，the distinction between my own ideas and its contributions becomes increasingly unclear.As you ponder this，I leave you with a question：did ChatGPT help me write this article，or was it solely the work of a human？38. The writer uses the headline "Unzipping the Education Gown" as an example to ______ .A. expose America's education segregationB. prove ChatGPT is good at editingC. teach us how to generate headlinesD. help readers read without too much effort39. By saying the underlined sentences，ChatGPT wants to ______ .A. help the writer to relax and have funB. remind the writer to prepare everythingC. give the writer suggestions on the menuD. suggest the writer how to make a cake40. What does the underlined word in the SECOND paragraph from the BOTTOM probably mean？______A. differenceB. similarityC. relationshipD. distance41. What is the writer's attitude（态度）toward ChatGPT？______A. UnsatisfiedB. UnknownC. Opposed（反对的）D. Favorable（喜爱的）THave you heard the latest buzz（蜂鸣）？Bumblebees have.According to a new study，trends can pass through a bumblebee colony （族群）as bees watch and copy one another's behavior.This means the bees have a culture，which is a set of shared behaviors animals learn from one another.People once thought humans were the only species to develop cultures，but chimpanzees and some birds have also been found to have this ability.A research team from the UK set up puzzle boxes that offered a sweet-tasting reward when opened. "Demonstrator"（演示者）bees were taught to open the boxes by pushing a red tab or a blue tab.Some "Observer" （观察者）bees saw the demonstrator bees open the boxes，while other bees were not allowed to watch before trying to open the boxes themselves.The group of bees that had watched a demonstrator were able to open the puzzle boxes about 28 times a day，while the other group opened them only once a day.The observer bees almost always used the same method as the demonstrators did.For example，those who watched a bee open a box using the red tab almost always pushed the red tab as well."Some of them would play around with the box and find ano ther way，but they still would return really strongly to the demonstrator's preferred behavior，" Alice Bridges，the lead author of the study，told The Washington Post.She said the bees were developing "a local trend."Even when the researchers allowed groups of bees to see both methods，each group soon developed its own trend.A skill was passed along as new bees learned from more experienced bees.After several days，one colony came to prefer the "blue method"，while the other almost always chose the "red method.""The fact that bees can watch and learn，and then make a habit of that behavior，adds to the fact that they are far smarter creatures than a lot of people have thought，" said study co-author Lars Chittka.42. How does the scientists explain their findings about the bumblebees？______A. By introducing some rules.B. By listing a lot of numbers.C. By mentioning achievements in others' studies.D. By making comparisons in different experiments.43. What does the underlined phrase "a local trend" mean？______A. A bumble bee colony.B. The blue method.C. A set of shared behaviors.D. The red method.44. What can we learn from bumblebees according to the passage？______A. The observer bees could open the box only once a day.B. Some bees would play around with the box and fly away.C. The bees who watched a bee open a box using the red tab may prefer the red method.D. The bees who watched both methods would use both red and blue tabs to open the box.45. What is the most suitable title for the passage？______A. A Recent Study on Different BeesB. A Culture among BumblebeesC. How do Bumblebees Make a BuzzD. Why Bumblebees Live as a Colony46. Modern technology provides students with much ______ learning resources. （rich）47. After dealing with the hard times in your life，you may find the sun is still ______ just for you. （shine）48. Mr.Black showed his son how to behave ______ like a gentleman at the dinner table. （polite）49. Working as a volunteer in that area was a very ______ experience for me. （value）50. Two thieves broke into his house，but luckily nothing was ______ . （steal）51. Research shows that noise can have a bad effect on your brain，while ______ seems to have the opposite effect. （安静）52.

SOLOMON SLOW was the son of a gentleman，who lived on the border of the New Forest.His mother called him Solomon. "Because，" she said，"slow and sure is sure to do well.He is a wise child.""Yes，" said his father，"but he is too slow and unless he becomes a little quick and a little less lazy，I shall never make a man of him."When he was about ten years old，his father and some friends planned a picnic in the Forest and hired a large van to take them there.They were to set out at seven in the morning.Solomon knew this as he had heard his father say so the night before.It was a really fine day when he woke up at six the next morning，but he was as lazy as ever. "If I get up about ten minutes before seven，" said he，"I shall be down in plenty of time." So he lay still in bed and heard all the party pass his door as they went downstairs.They even called to him；but he gave no answer，and only lazily rolled himself up in the clothes.At last，up he jumped，dressed，and ran down the stairs but he found the breakfast-room empty，and the van gone!Snatching （抓）up his hat he ran as fast as he could down the road；but there was a high wind and the dust was in clouds everywhere.He screamed and shouted for the van to stop；but it's useless.No one could hear him and at last，tired with running and half fed with dust he walked sadly home.But even this did not cure him.He was a lazy boy and grew up to be a lazy man；and when in business，though the bus passed his door every day he was seldom ready.(1) Why did the mother call the boy Solomon Slow？______(2) What was the weather like when he woke up？______(3) When did Solomon Slow plan to get up？______(4) Did he catch the van in the end______(5) What suggestion can you give to Solomon______57.

"I've something important to say!" This sounded promising.Alice turned and came back.For some minutes he didn't speak.Finally he asked，"What size do you want to be？"Alice said，"Well，I like to be a little larger.Three inches isn't the best height to be." This made the Caterpillar very angry，"It is a very good height indeed!" He himself was e（7）______ three inches high.In a minute or two the Caterpillar said nothing.Then he got down off the mushroom，and crawled away.He told Alice，"One side will make you grow taller，and the other side will make you grow shorter.""One side of WHAT" Alice thought to h（8）______ ."Of the mushroom." said the Caterpillar，just as if she had asked him aloud；and in another moment he was out of sight.Alice spread her arms round the mushroom（蘑菇）as f（9）______ as they would go，and broke off a bit with each hand.She tasted a little of the right-hand bit and found she was much smaller!She was a（10）______ and tasted the mushroom from her left hand.Now she found she was as tall as the trees in the woods.——Taken from Alice in Wonderland(1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)58. 这部纪录片能帮助你全面了解中国历史。

In general, the 17 away from home you get, the stranger the languages around you become. But, have you ever noticed anything 18 among different languages?Language studies have shown that the 19 for “mama” and “papa” around the world are surprisingly like each other. It was once believed that different languages shared something in common 20 several languages started to develop from one language. That was the origin（起源）of many languages spoken around Europe.21 , this cannot explain why there are similariti es too outside Europe, such as “nanay” and “tatay” in the Philippines which also 22 in some places in Guangdong, China. So what could 23 this similarity around the world?Russian-American linguist（语⾔学家）Roman Jakobson shares 24 he has found out. Maybe he is 25 .“If you’re a(n) 26 making your first sounds, the easiest will be ‘ah’ because you can make it 27 doing anything with your tongue（⾆头）or lips（嘴唇）,” he said.“M” and “n” are also created 28 by opening and closing the mouth, so these sounds often develop next. In a similar 29 , the sounds that are closely related to “father”, like “p”, “d” and “t”, develop next. This could be the reason why, around the world, a child’s first words are often “ma” or “pa”, leading parents to be 30 “mama” and “papa”.16. A . interested B . lost C . used D . prepared17.

It's an air﹣cleaning machine connected to a bicycle and is part of the Smog Free Project. In smoggy weather，the machine would breathe in the air in front of the bike and blow out a stream of clean air toward the biker's face.It's no secret that air pollution is a big problem for China. In winter，it's common for thick clouds of haze （霾），caused largely by factory production，burning of coal and car emissions （排放物），to cover areas of China.In 2016，only one﹣fourth of Chinese cities met the country's air quality standards，according to a survey of 338 cities nationwide from the Ministry of Environmental Protection."Of course one tower and a few bikes won't solve China's air pollution problem，" Daan said，"But smog﹣free bikes are an exciting idea that will hopefully inspire communities to create greener cities.

When they were six months old, they were chosen for the part of Michelle Tanner on the American TV show, Full House.The producers needed twins because there are rules about the number of hours that a child can work. This meant that one child could not play all the scenes. They took it in turns to film the scenes as Michelle. The twins looked so alike that for a long time viewers of the programme did not know that there were two of them. Full House was on TV for eight years. The twins became celebrities.A business was set up to take advantage of their popularity. Mary-Kate and Ashley products including fashion dolls, videos, books, clothes and perfumes were sold all over the world. The twins’ products were very popular with young girls. Mary-Kate and Ashley soon became millionaires.As the twins got older, they attracted more interest from the media. People wanted to know more about their lives. All the attention caused problems for the twins. In 2004, the twins started college in New York, but Mary-Kate left suddenly to return to California. It is said that she had an eating disorder .。

But here are four cities around the world that make for a great cold-weather destination:Prague,Czech RepublicWith its snow-capped spires and winding streets,Pragueis a fairytale city that remains ly tourist-free in winter.The amazing architecture looks even prettier under a sheet of snow, with one of the most beautiful areas being the old town, with its Romanesque vaults. Gas street lamps have been placed throughout the city center, adding a romantic color1 to evenings. Cafes here are ideal for escaping the bitter cold.Salzburg,AustriaWith its Christmas songs and traditional markets, this is a perfect city for a winter break. “Silent Night” was performed for the first time in thechurchofOberndorfon the border ofSalzburgon Christmas Eve in 1818.The city's main market is held in the shadow ofSalzburg'sHohensalzburgCastle, but the one held inMirabell Squareis especially popular with food lovers who come to taste local food such as halusky—pieces of dumpling mixed with fried bacon.Tromso,NorwayTromso is widely regarded asNorway's most beautiful city and is a base for spoiling the northern lights. There are several attractive museums, including thePolarMuseum, which offers an insight into the history of Arctic expeditions, and theTromsoMuseum, which is famous for its Sami exhibitions.Amsterdam,NetherlandsIn winter,Amsterdam' s museums are much less crowded, making it the time to visit attractions such as Rijksmuseum or the Anne Frank House.

Tromso.D.Amsterdam.BResearchers at CU Boulder have developed a wearable device that changes the human body into a biological battery. The device is stretchy(弹性的) enough that you can wear it like a ring, sport band or any other thing that touches your skin. It also taps into a person's natural heat-employing thermoelectric generators to change the body's internal temperature into electricity. "In the future, we want to be able to power your wearable electronics without having to include a battery," said Jianliang Xiao, an associate professor at CU Boulder.The concept may sound like something out of The Matrix film series, in which a race of robots have enslaved humansto harvest their precious organic energy. Xiao and his colleagues aren't that ambitious: Their devices can generate about 1 volt (伏特) of energy for every square centimeter of skin space-less volt per area than what most existing batteries provide but stillenough to power electronics like watches or fitness trackers.Scientists have previously experimented with similar wearable devices, but Xiao's is stretchy, can heal itself when damaged and is fully recyclable-making it a cleaner alternative to traditional electronics. "Whenever you use a battery, you're depleting(消耗) that battery and will, eventually, need to replace it," Xiao said. "The nice thing about our device is that you can wear it, and it provides you with constant power."Just pretend that you're out for a jog. As you exercise, your body heats up, and thatheat will radiate out to the cool air around you. Xiao's device captures that flow of energy rather than let it go to waste. "The thermoelectric generators are in close contact with the human body, and they can use the heat that would normally be sent into the environment," Xiao said.4. What does Xiao expect of his device at present?A. It will be used for medical purposes.B. It will be made smaller and wearable.C. It will change natural power into electricity.D. It will supply constant power to wearable devices.5. Why does the author mentionThe Matrixseries in the text?A. To give an explanation.B. To make a comparison.C. To introduce a topic.D. To analyze the cause.6. What does the third paragraph mainly talk about?A. The strengths of Xiao's device.B. The convenience of using a battery.C. The replacement of wearable devices.D. The development of traditional electronics.7. What do we know about Xiao's device from the text?A. It operates with plenty of power.B. It is designed for practical use.C. It benefits people's health in a way.D. It's based on traditional electronics.CWith graduation days being celebrated all over the country, a student who has to use a wheelchair honored his mother on his graduation day in a special way. Easley High School graduate, Alex Mays surprised people present when he got up and walked across the stage at Clemson's Littlejohn Coliseum.“I was really happy—it made me feel good,” Alex said.Alex was not given a chance to live right from his birth. He was born at 25 weeks and weighed just 1 pound, 10 ounces at birth. When he was very young, he had a disease and lost the ability to walk. After his mother's death in 2013, Alex had several other difficult life changes until he came to live with his grandparents, Dousay and her husband, Dewayne. Dousay said that when Alex came to live with them, they decided to bring him up in the best possible way they could.Last fall, Alex said that he would walk across the stage to get his diploma to honor his late mother. He practiced hard and worked with a physical therapist for 9 months to complete his plan.The only help Alex got was from his mom's best friend, Tonya Johnson, who pushed his wheelchair to the stage wearing one of his mother's favorite shirts. “I had support from my family. I couldn't have done it without them,” Alex said.“Alex made everyone in the building feel encouraged that day” Pickens County School District public information specialist John Eby said. “The school teachers knew he was going to get up to get his diploma, but the distance he walked was a surprise, even to them,” Eby said.“Some of life's most important tests aren’t given in a classroom; Alex tested himself and passed with flyingcolor1 s,” Eby added.8. In what way did Alex honor his late mother on his graduation day?A. By dressing like her.B. By saying sorry to her.C. By inviting her best friend.D. By walking to get his diploma.9. What can we learn from Paragraph 3?A. Alex was born healthy.B. Alex went through a lot.C. Alex had a purpose in life as a child.D. Alex has lived with his grandparents all the time.10. What did Alex also express on his graduation day?A. His big regret in life.B. His feelings for hisschool.C. His thanks for his family.D. His will to complete his study.11. Which of the following words can best describe Alex?A. Strong-minded.B. Warm-hearted.C. Cool-headed.D. Easy-going.D“They’re harming your brain.” “They’re ruining your eyes.” “They’re turning you into a violent person.” The words said publicly against video games are so common, but are these worries founded on actual science? Countless studies have offered different opinions on whether video games are bad for you. We’ve rounded up the most notable reports and studies below, so you can weigh up the evidence for yourself.In 2013,psychologist(心理学家) Simone Kuhn studied the influences of spending long hours on video games on the brains of young adults and found that several areas became bigger than before. These areas are connected with highercognitive functions(认知功能), memory formation andfinemotor(精细运动) function.Last year, psychologists said that video game players who favour violent games are more likely to be violent when offline. Dr. Mark Appelbaum of the American Psychological Association said that there was a relation between violent video game use and increases in violent behaviour.Dr. Daphne Bavelier is an expert in the field of Brain & Cognitive Sciences. Bavelier presented the audience with a colour-word test, where non-gamers are easily puzzled by the test, and those who spend long periods playing on their computers are more likely to pass the test with flying colours.“Actually, those video game players have many other advantages in terms of attention,” said Bavelier, “and one part of attention which is also improved for the better is our ability to follow the movements of objects.”“So, in a sense, when we think about the influence of video games on the brain, it’s very similar to the influence of wine on the health. There are some very poor uses of wine. There are some very poor uses of videogames. But when drunk in reasonable amounts, and at the right age, wine can be very good for health,” said Bavelier.12. What can be learned from Simone Kuhn’s study？A. Video games make you happier.B. Video games make your brain grow.C. Video games play a key role in memory.D. Video games teach you how to learn fast.13. What was Dr. Mark Appelbaum’s attitude towards video games？A. He was against them.B. He was hopeful of them.C.He was in favour of them.D.

People do this all the time in their own language, so it is necessary(必要的) to do this in a foreign language, too. Here are some examples.. ＂What’s the matter?＂＂I went to a party last night, so I…＂. ＂I feel so tired these days.＂＂I think you’d better…＂. ＂Of course, she never stops talking. She is one of the most…＂You can see from the above three examples that the context(上下文) helps a lot in understanding what is being talked about. So ＂guessing ＂is very important in understanding English, especially(尤其) spoken English.1．This passage tells us mainly about __________.A．the importance of ＂guessing ＂in learning a foreign languageB．how to guess what one is going to talk aboutC．some examples of right guessingD．how important it is to guess all the time2．From the context, we can see maybe the finished answer in EXAMPLE I is __________.A．＂… so I didn’t have a good t ime.＂B．＂…so I went to bed very late.＂C．＂…. So I felt unhappy.＂D．＂… so I got up very early.＂3．Maybe the finished answer in EXAMPLE 2 is __________.A．＂I think you’d better have a good rest and take good care of yourself.＂B．＂I think you’d better have so mething to drink.＂C．＂I think you’d better get some help from your friends.＂D．＂I think you’d better be more careful.＂4．Maybe the finished answer in EXAMPLE 3 is __________.A．＂… she is one of the most famous film stars.＂B．＂…she is one of the most beauti ful women.＂C．＂… she is one of the most famous speakers.＂D．＂.. she is one of the most talkative women.＂5．From the passage we can infer(推断) that guessing is __________ in learning a foreign language. A．the only wayB．more important in spoken English than in written EnglishC．more important than any other wayD．more important in written English than in spoken EnglishB14、Parents often believe that they have a good relationship with their teenagers. But last summer, Joanna and Henry noticed a change in their older son: suddenly he seemed to be talking far more to his friends than to his parents. "The door to his room is always shut." Joanna noted.Tina and Mark noticed similar changes in their 14-year-old daughter. "She used to sit in my arms on the sofa and talk with me," said Mark. "Now we joke that she does this only when she wants something. Sometimes she wants to be treated like a little girl and sometimes like a young lady. The problem is figuring out which time is which."Before age 11, children like to tell their parents what's on their minds. "In fact, parents are first on the list." said Michael Riera, author of Uncommon Sense for Parents with Teenagers. "This completely changes during the teen years." Riera explained. "They talk to their friends first, then maybe their teachers, and their parents last."Parents who know what's going on in their teenagers' lives are in the best position to help them. To break down the wall of silence, parents should create chances to understand what their children want to say, and try to find ways to talk and write to them. And they must give their children a mental break, for children also need freedom, though young. Another thing parents should remember is that to be a friend, not a manager, with their children is a better way to know them.1．We can know Michael Riera in the passage is ________.A．An author. B．A mother. C．A father. D．A teenager.2．"The door to his room is always shut" suggests that the son_______.A．is always busy with his studiesB．doesn't want to be disturbedC．keeps himself away from his parentsD．begins to dislike his parents3．What troubles Tina and Mark most is that _______.A．their daughter isn't as lovely as beforeB．they can't read their daughter's mind exactlyC．they don't know what to say to their daughterD．their daughter talks with them only when she needs help4．Which of the following best explains "the wall of silence" in the last paragraph?A．Teenagers talk a lot with their friends.B．Teenagers do not want to understand their parents.C．Teenagers do not talk much with their parents.D．Teenagers talk little about their own lives.5．What can be learned from the passage?A．Parents are unhappy with their growing children.B．Parents have suitable ways to talk with their teenagers.C．Parents should be patient with their silent teenagers.D．Parents should try to understand their teenagers.C15、Many of us don't pay much attention to the importance of eye care. It is said that if you take care of your body, then you can surely be healthy. That is why our eyes should be given a lot of care. Natural eye care should be put in a number one place.There are several causes leading to poor eyesight like not enough food, genes(基因)and aging(老化). Televisions, corrupters and reading are also the causes of having poor eyesight. If you work in front of the computer, it is best to take a break every once in a while. Something dirty can cause redness and they will make you feel uncomfortable. It is bad for your eyes, too. If this happens, the best way is to clean your eyes by using cold water. You must also try your best to protect your eyes from harmful things. For example, sunglasses are not just for fashion but they can also serve as a great way to protect your eyesight from ultraviolet rays.Eating healthy foods will do good to your eyesight. Remember that vitamins A, C and E are good for eyes. Try to eat food groups that have these vitamins. And you should do eye exercises because exercise protects your eyesight, too. If a person exercises regularly(定期地) and eats the right kind of food, his eyes will stay in good condition for a long time.All above are natural ways of eye care that help us keep healthy eyes. Being happy all the time can be helpful to a person's eyesight, too. In a word, eye care is very important, no matter how old a person is. 1．is the most important way to protect our eyes.A．Natural eye care B．Taking medicineC．Seeing the doctor D．Being happy all the time2．All the following causes can lead to bad eyesight except ___________.A．age B．height C．reading D．computers3．What should you do if you have to work in front of the computer?A．Eat healthy foods. B．Clean the eyes by using cold water.C．Wear a pair of sunglasses. D．Have a rest after working for a while.4．What do the underlined words "ultraviolet rays" mean?A．沙尘B．闪电C．紫外线D．超声波5．Which is the best title of the passage?A．Ways of Eye Care B．Ways of Eye ExercisesC．Ways of Being Happy D．Ways of Being HealthD16、The number of rural(乡村的) left-behind children under 17 years old has increased to 61.02 million, according to a report.

Guangdong Province has the mostleft-behind children, with 4.34 million, followed by Zhejiang Province, Jiangsu Province, Shanghai and Beijing.“What I’m worried about most is the schooling of my child, as I have no time to help her with her homework.” Sai d An Baiyou, a truck driver from Shangdong Province, who has been leaving his10-year-old daughter with his parents while driving trucks in other provinces. “However, to make money or to take care of the child, you can only choose one side.”Wang Zhenyao, the president of Beijing Normal University Institue of Public Welfare, says that if theleft-behind children problem can’t be solved, it will affect the nation’s future.Compared with those who live with their parents, left-behind children need more care and protection. The country should think about ways to attract the rural workers in cities to return and work in their hometown to improve the development of these places.”In addition, it is important to set up laws to protect the basic rights of young people, especially those with illnesses or only one parent.These children are the future of the nation. People should offer them their love, care and protection. 1．Which of the following is TRUE, according to the passage?A．Wang Zhenyao has a 10-year-old daughter.B．An Baiyou chooses to make money in cities instead of taking care of his child in Shandong.

But if you overheard a British person say, “A Billy let some bees and honey in my sherbet (冰冻果露) last night,” would you understand what he meant? Probably not, but many native (本土的) speakers may not know what this person was saying either.The example above was a sentence that a London taxi driver might say to another member of his or her tribe. In plain English, the sentence would be, “A customer left some money in my taxi last night.”So, what exactly is meant by “tribe”? A recent article on the BBC Culture website pointed out that nearly all of us are a part of a tribe. This is a group that defines (定义) who we are and even how we speak. And with each tribe comes its own “secret language”, as the BBC called it.If you work in a certain industry—education, for example, you may use slang (俚语) words that only other people who work in that industry would understand. Or if you live in a certain city, you might use a slang word to describe a landmark in the city, that only locals would understand.These so-called secret languages each have their own fascinating history. In the US, for example, the underground “ballroom” (舞厅) tribe of 1970s and 80s New York City and its language was showed in the 2018 FX show Pose.These secret words don’t always stay within their tribes, however. Words from many tribes, especially musical cultures such as rap and hip-hop, often enter people’s everyday vocabulary. For example, the phrase “to have beer”—meaning “to be in a conflict (冲突)” —was made popular by US rappers. Today, it’s widely used by native English speakers all over the world.As BBC reporter Susie Dent wrote, “We are all surrounded by amazing secret languages, full of history and stories and in-jokes. And one thing is certain: our tribal conversations will never run out.”34．The example at the beginning of the text is mainly used ________.A．to prove that English is really hard for people to learn.B．to explain to the readers what the meaning of “tribe”isC．to teach readers how to communicate with taxi driversD．to show the languages of tribes are hard to understand35．According to this passage, what does “tribe” refer to?A．All members of a family.B．Workers in a certain company.C．A group or class of people.D．People living in the same city.36．What can we know about “secret languages”?A．They mostly came from different kinds of musical cultures.B．Some words from them are popular in everyday conversation.C．They first started in New York City in the 1970s and 1980s.D．They have failed to become popular among young people.37．What is Dent’s attitude towards the future of “secret languages”?A．Confident.B．Worried.C．Uninterested.D．Doubtful.The human voice is a delicate thing. Each person’s individual sound is produced when air from the lungs causes the vocal cords (声带) to vibrate (震颤) . These vocal cords can easily get damaged. According to a 2005 study, 30% of the population will experience a voice disorder at some point in their life.In a study published in the journal Nature Communications this week, a group of bioengineering researchers from the University of California have put forward an attractive solution. They have designed and tested a soft patch (片) that can be stuck onto a person's neck, where it will pick up muscle movements and, with the help of machine-learning algorithms (算法) that process the signals, translate them into speech.When a person loses their voice today, the easiest solution is to turn to typing, texting, or writing notes to communicate. Typing can be slow and inconvenient, says Jun Chen, the paper’s lead author, and writing notes is only possible in good lighting. The new solution would be able to solve all these problems.Dr. Chen’s device works based on something called the magnetoelastic effect. Basically, when tiny magnetic bits (磁性钻头) are placed into soft materials, their magnetic properties can change as the material is stretched.When the throat muscles move under the soft patch, the resulting magnetic-field variations can be changed into electrical signals. In a test with eight participants, the researchers recorded the signals as the subjects spoke and mouthed five different sentences. They then trained a machine-learning model which was then able to predict which of the five sentences the participants spoke—whether aloud or in silence—with more than 90% accuracy.There is a way to go yet, for now the device can only recognize the five phrases it wastrained on. Plus, to make it practical at scale, the researchers will need to collect a lot more data. 38．In paragraph 1, the author mainly wants to tell us that ________.A．lungs are easily damaged B．the human voice is specialC．vocal cords vibrate to produce sound D．voice disorders are a problem worthy of attention39．Why does the author mention the magnetoelastic effect? ________A．To explain how it works.B．To present a solution.C．To introduce the challenge.D．To make a comparison.40．What is the purpose of the soft patch? ________A．Predicting five different sentences.B．Destroying the background magnetic field.C．Slowing the movements of throat muscles.D．Helping turn muscle movements into electrical signals.41．Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?A．Predicting the Importance of Voice RestorationB．Using Algorithms in Bioengineering ResearchC．Overcoming V oice Loss with a New PatchD．Finding the Principle of Communication DevicesPersonally, there is nothing I love more than asking “stupid” questions, especially the ones that have no right answers. I remember once asking some kids what time it was, at home, in Singapore, and finally on the Moon. After a long silence, finally a shy girl ventured (试探地说) to say that it was “every time” followed by an energetic Einstein who shouted it was “no time”. Both kids shared that week’s Noble Prize because no humans live in that faraway world and time is created by humans.As a matter of fact, we are all good at asking questions by nature, but sadly as we age, we get used to the world around us and take things for granted. We became more results-oriented (注重结果的) and concentrate our efforts on success. If something is working, don’t fix it or worry about the cause; just relax and go with the flow. Common belief may work well, but that does not mean it is always right. Throughout history, it has been those who have questioned common beliefand those who have challenged our common-sense ideas of the world that have been the ones to have brought about major progress in human civilization.In 500 BC, the ancient Greeks wondered whether the Earth was round because sailors on the sea had noticed that the farther south they went, the more different stars they saw in the sky. Why was the sky changing? Nearly 2,000 years later, the Italian astronomer Galileo Galilei became interested in this question and ended up demonstrating the “crazy” concept of heliocentrism (日心说), in which the Sun lies at the center of the universe while the Earth circles around it at 30 kilometers per second. But if the Earth is spinning around so quickly, why aren’t we being thrown off of the surface of the planet? The answer to this question would not be clear for another century.People like routine, but past performance is no guarantee of future results. While those who challenge common belief tend to be subjected to abuse, the progress of humankind would have otherwise been impossible without these persistent people and their “stupid” questions. 42．What commonly happens to us when we grow older according to the author?A．We focus too much on process.B．We still refuse to relax and go with the flow.C．We start to challenge common-sense ideas of the world.D．We gradually lose the ability to question common belief.43．What’s the correct order of the following statements?a. The ancient Greeks wondered whether the Earth was round.b. Galileo Galilei raised the concept of heliocentrism.c. We know about the concept of gravity.d. Sailors noticed something special.A．adcb B．adbc C．dabc D．dacb44．Who might have solved the question “why aren’t we being thrown off of the surface of the planet?”A．An ancient Greek scientist living in 500 BC．B．Galileo Galilei living between 1564 and 1642.C．Isaac Newton living between 1643 and 1727.D．Albert Einstein living between 1879 and 1955.45．How does the author develop his writing on the whole?A．By comparison and contrast B．By using supporting examples.C．By using time and space order.D．By generalization and definition.四、单词拼写46．Please put away those keys to cars.
