To solve the problems, we increase the use of electric cars, 41 greener eating and reduce plastic use. However, sometimes these solutions can be opposite to the expected goals. For instance, creating space for biofuel crops to give off fewer pollutants and greenhouse gases can, in fact, 42 increase the cutting down of trees. That means in most cases solutions aiming at one problem each time are 43 to be effective. And, what is perhaps lacking is a(n) 44 of how interlinked these problems are.We should realize that a key 45 linking all the three problems is waste. The root cause of global warming is CO2, a waste gas. The seas are polluted by plastic and other waste products. We 46 forests, among other things, to grow more food — much of which goes to waste.A shocking figure lies at the heart of our special report on our world — of the more than 100 billion tons of things that humans use each year, hardly 10% is recycled. That makes it obvious a full-range war on waste should be paid 47 attention. The situation requires our speedy moving away from the way of thinking — “take, make, throw” — towards a more recyclable one, which means we should begin 48 the products and when they reach the end of their useful lives, they can be recycled.Solving the three problems calls for a huge transition with joint efforts. Governments must take the lead by introducing laws with the purpose of rewarding green practices, such as the 49 of waste. Industries can reduce, re-use and recycle wherever possible, and 50 themselves with suppliers and the like-minded to realize recyclable business models.Ⅲ. Reading ComprehensionSection A (15)Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in the blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.When it comes to lowering stress at work, studies from around the world have yielded a set of five tips with advice 51 from having a nap at your desk to taking your pet to work.The first tip highlighted by New Science magazine is that workers should be sociable—but not too sociable.British research has shown that 52 is good for health, with a study of thousands of civil servants revealing that moral 53 from colleagues, encouragement from supervisors and clear direction from bosses kept stress levels 54 . Male civil servants who 55 support in the workplace were 31 percent more likely to suffer from 56 and depression, and women 43 percent. 57 , too much socializing could lead to work piling up.The second tip is to ensure your surroundings are as 58 as possible. Simply being able to see your colleagues makes the working day much more 59 and the height of partitions (隔板) dividing up office space affects stress level. 60 , the higher the partition is, the more people complain about noise from their neighbors. Research from the University of Montreal shows that the optimum partition height is 1.3 metres—high enough to provide 61 but low enough to ensure staff do not feel 62 .The third piece of advice for works is to learn to switch of. Mobile phones and other 63 equipment should be switched off after hours of working to allow burnt-out brain cells to recharge. The fourth piece of advice for workers is to take a nap at your desk every day, which is very easy to do.Playing with a cat or a dog can also 64 relaxation and if workers can persuade their boss to let them into the office then the day will 65 .51.

A. go on B. draw near C. be over D. fly bySection B (2*11=22)Directions: Read the following passages. Each passage is followed by several questions. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)For some people, music is no fun at all. About four percent of the population is what scientists call “amusic.” People who are amusic are born without the ability to recognize or reproduce musical notes (音调). Amusic people often cannot tell the difference between two songs. Amusics can only hear the difference between two notes if they are very far apart on the musical scale.As a result, songs sound like noise to an amusic. Many amusics compare the sound of music to pieces of metalhitting each other. Life can be hard for amusics. Their inability to enjoy music set them apart from others. It can bedifficult for other people to identify with their condition. In fact, most people cannot begin to grasp what it feels liketo be amusic. Just going to a restaurant or a shopping mall can be uncomfortable or even painful. That is why many amusics intentionally stay away from places where there is music. However, this can result in withdrawal and social isolation. “I used to hate parties,” says Margaret, a seventy-year-old woman who only recently discovered that shewas amusic. By studying people like Margaret, scientists are finally learning how to identify this unusual condition.Scientists say that the brains of amusics are different from the brains of people who can appreciate music. The difference is complex, and it doesn’t involve defective hearing. Amusics can understand other nonmusical soundswell. They also have no problems understanding ordinary speech. Scientists compare amusics to people who just can’tsee certain colors.Many amusics are happy when their condition is finally diagnosed (诊断). For years, Margaret felt embarrassedabout her problem with music. Now she knows that she is not alone. There is a name for her condition. That makes iteasier for her to explain. “When people invite me to a concert, I just say, ‘No thanks, I’m amusic,’” says Margaret. “Ijust wish I had learned to say that when I was seventeen and not seventy.”66. Which of the following is true of amusics?A. Listening to music is far from enjoyable for them.B. They love places where they are likely to hear music.C. They can easily tell two different songs apart.D. Their situation is well understood by musicians.67. According to paragraph 3, a person with “defective hearing” is probably one who ________.A. dislikes listening to speechesB. can hear anything nonmusicalC. has a hearing problemD. lacks a complex hearing system68. In the last paragraph, Margaret expressed her wish that ________.A. her problem with music had been diagnosed earlierB. she were seventeen years old rather than seventyC. her problem could be easily explainedD. she were able to meet other amusics69. What is the passage mainly concerned with?A. Amusics’ strange behaviours.B. Some people’s inability to enjoy music.C. Musical talent and brain structure.D. Identification and treatment of amusic.(B)Home Laundry Automatic Dryer ProductFull Two Year Warranty (保修)Limited Five Year Warranty on Cabinet (机箱)Warranty Provides for:FIRST TWO YEARS Amana will repair or replace any faulty part free of charge.THIRD THRU FIFTH YEARS Amana will provide a free replacement part for any cabinet which proves faulty due to rust (生锈).Warranty Limitations:•Warranty begins at date of original purchase.•Applies only to product used within the United States or in Canada if product is approved by Canadian Standards Association when shipped from factory.•Products used on a commercial or rental basis not covered by this warranty.•Service must be performed by an Amana servicer.•Adjustments covered during first year only.Owner’s Responsibilities:•Provide sales receipt.•Normal care and maintenance.•Having the product reasonably accessible for service.•Pay for service calls related to product installation or usage instructions.•Pay for extra service costs, over normal service charges, if servicer is requested to perform service outside servicer’s normal business hours.Warranty Docs Not Cover It If:•Product has damage due to product alteration, connection to an improper electrical supply, shipping and handling, accident, fire, floods, lightning or other conditions beyond the control of Amana.•Product is improperly installed or applied.In no event shall Amana be responsible for consequential damages.•This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may have others which vary from state to state.

It might not seem important, but a growing body of research suggests that sounds can have an impact on learning, performance and creativity.Whether background sounds are beneficial or not seems to depend on what kind of noise it is—and the volume. In a series of studies published last year, Ravi Mehta from the College of Business at Illinois and his colleagues tested people’s creativity while exposed to a soundtrack made up of background noises—such as coffee-shop chatter and construction-site drilling—at different volumes. They found that people were more creative when the backgroundnoises were played at a medium level than when volume was low. Loud background noise, however, damaged their creativity.This makes sense for a couple of reasons, says psychologist Dr Nick Perham, at Cardiff Metropolitan University in the UK, who studies the effect of sounds on learning but was not involved in the study. Firstly, he says, sounds that are most disturbing tend to be very variable. A general hum (嗡嗡声) in the background suggests a steady-state sound with not much variation. “So there’s not much there to capture your attention- nothing disturbing the subjects,” he says. At the same time, the background noise might cause the subjects to be in a slightly heightened state of arousal (觉醒), says Perham. “Medium arousal is best for good performance. So it might be that a general hum in the background gives an ideal level of arousal.” With that in mind, Perham suggests there may be some benefits to playing music or other sounds in an art class or other situations where creativity is key.Many teachers all over the world already play music to students in class. Many are inspired by the belief that hearing music can improve IQ in tasks, the so-called Mozart effect. While the evidence actually suggests it’s a stretch to say classical music improves brainpower, researchers do think pleasant sounds before a task can sometimes lift your mood and help you perform well, says Perham, who has done his own studies on the phenomenon. The key appears to be that you enjoy what you’re hearing. “If you like the music or you like the sound—even listening to a Stephen King novel -then you did better. It didn’t matter about the music,” he says.73. Which of the following is true according to the studies by Ravi Mehta and Nick Perham?A. It’s better not to expose people to any background noise while at work.B. Construction-site drilling should be forbidden where there is a school.C. Noises will harm people’s health however low their volumes are.D. A certain level of noise may do good to people’s creativity.74. According to Dr Nick Perham, it can be inferred that in an art class, teachers had better ________.A. keep the classroom quietB. play music at a steady and medium volumeC. broadcast classical musicD. vary the volume of the music constantly75. In the last paragraph, the underlined part “it’s a stretch” is used to ________.A. prove the usefulness of pleasing soundsB. confirm the belief of Mozart effectC. challenge the importance of soft musicD. cast doubt on the power of music in raising IQ76. Which of the following might be the best title for this passage?A. Learning Power: Noise and Music WorkB. Noise Meeting Music: A Blessing?C. Noise or Music: Creativity in DangerD. Brainpower: More Music and Less NoiseSection C (2*8分)Directions: Read the following passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Eachsentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.A. But people can make a big difference.B. Plastics should be gathered together and reused.C. Then, fish may eat the plastics.D. It is convenient to use plastic bags in everyday life.E. It asks for them to better measure and direct plastic use.F. The report tells about harm to sea life and what might be done to improve the situation.A new report says plastics are responsible for $13 billion in damage to the oceans and the undersea environment. The findings were announced recently at a United Nations conference. 77Plastic thrown away carelessly makes its way into rivers and other waterways. The plastic eventually reaches coastal areas and ocean waters. After a while, it collects in the sea. And plastic never goes away. Plastic is not biodegradable — destroyed by bacteria or natural processes. Instead, it just breaks up into smaller pieces over time. The oceans contain a lot of chemicals and other pollutants. 78 . That means harmful materials may get into our food supply.79 . Human beings cause pollution and they can take steps to stop it. They can use fewer single use product containers and throw plastics away correctly. Plastic recycling programs also works — where old bottles and other plastics are collected, broken down and used to make new products. We could reuse bottles in our households many times if we wish to, rather than end it after the first use. We could, when we get rid of that plastic, recycle and reuse it, which replaces the need for raw materials.The report also calls on companies to improve methods for using plastics. 80 And it calls for information about the way plastic is thrown out or removed from use. By putting a new value on plastic, industry has a special reason to clean up the environment. But all of the companies must join to deal with the problem.Ⅳ. Fill in the blanks with proper words.

Sam was a motherless boy who lived with his father Curtis. To Sam, his father was his hero and the only soul with whom he felt 1 and connected in the world. Though uneducated and poor, Curtis recognized and cultivated his son’s 2 in words like it was the most important thing in the world. He would take Sam to the public library every day.When fate suddenly took Curtis away from Sam, the kid became homeless and withdrawn from everyone and everything. He even couldn’t read a single page without 3 at every sentence. So he turned to writing instead. And within two months, the boy used up six notebooks to write his thoughts in notes and poetry.One day, Mr. Murray, a father of two boys, 4 Sam sitting outside a cafe, gripping his stomach in hunger, tears streaming down his face. He took Sam home, 5 him, and tucked him up in bed. Then he looked through Sam’s bag, hoping to find some number he could call. Instead, he found Sam’s diary. He read through page after page of what the 11-year-old had been going through, trying to cry in 6 .When Sam woke up, he found his books 7 arranged on a shelf, his clothes put away in a laundry bag, and the picture of his father put in a beautiful frame and placed on the study table. “This is your home. You can have all the books you want. I will drive you to and from school every day with my boys. Nothing will stop you from pursuing your dreams,” Mr. Murray said, accepting Sam’s 8 hug.From that day on, Sam’s life was never the same. Reading and writing never got apart from him. He became outgoing and 9 a confident personality. With the love and support of Mr. Murray, he followed his heart and studied 10 in university. By the time Sam was 30, he was the owner of a successful publishing house.1. A. anxious B. stressed C. excited D. safe2. A. inspiration B. interest C. habit D. imagination3.

In late September or early October, falling fruits as hard as baseballs threaten the skulls (头骨) of you, your children, your neighbors and those that reside next door to them. Umbrellas in the yard are a must while dining in early August, and as for me, I wear my bike helmet while working in the garden.The black walnut also releases a chemical substance through its roots as a competitive strategy. It’s poisonous to several common plants. There have been many new plant varieties tha t I brought home with hopes that maybe the black walnut would accept them, but they failed toflourish.What does work are native plants that naturally grow in the area. Native plants are important to have around since they provide beneficial pollinators (传粉者) like birds, bees and butterflies with seeds and contribute to a healthy and biodiverse environment. Native plants for this area are generally easy to grow, so they experience less stress.Have I thought of getting rid of this giant pain in my tiny backyard? Yes, however, getting rid of this tree standing at 50 feet with an 87-inch trunk is next to impossible. It’s also protected under the law. Rightfully so. Trees are important to the urban forest and for all of those that inhabit it.Sometimes I think about my life without the black walnut. I can’t imagine a spring without the birds who arrive every year and loudly sing their songs before dawn. I’d miss falling asleep on lazy weekend afternoons as I look up into its leaves.Every spring, I wonder what the season holds: What are the chances of being knocked unconscious while barbecuing? Like any good relationship, I’ll never be pleased. I’m stuck with this tree, so I’ll listen to its needs and give it the space it requires. In return, my walnut offers a habitat for wildlife and a reminder.19．Why does the author wear a bike helmet while working in the garden?A. To protect the injured skull.B. To prevent herself from sunburn.C. To avoid being hit by the nuts.D. To reduce the chance of getting bitten by bees.20．What is the tree’s survival strategy?A. It attracts beneficial pollinators.B. It lets out poison to drive away pests.C. It produces a chemical fatal to some plants.D. It competes for nutrition with similar species.21．Which of the following DOESN’T account for the author’s love-hate relationship with the tree?A. The volume of its fruits may bring inconvenience.B. The tree outcompetes the native plants in the garden.C. The tree is home to numerous birds and other creatures.D. The presence of the tree takes up much space of the garden.22．The author most probably got a reminder from the tree that ________.A. it’s better to give than to takeB. trees and plants have their own ways to flourishC. even a good relationship is not always trouble-freeD. acceptance, instead of resistance, is the better way to beCIt was raining like nothing before when Ehdaa Bujeldain, an English teacher living with her family in the mountains of Derna in eastern Libya , heard a loud noise that sounded like an explosion (爆炸). Later they learned that a dam (大坝) in Derna had broken down under the pressure of running water. For the next four days, they had no power or internet, and it was only recently that they started to fully understand of the damage caused by the floods.“Half of the city has been destroyed. My mom’s relatives, my friends, my coworkers ——they are all gone. Now we, the survivors, are just ghost s in shells,” says Bujeldain, whose sadness can be easily told from her blank expression.Five days have passed since the terrible flooding in Derna, Libya’s Red Crescent organization estimated that 11,300 people have died, while the city’s mayor believes the number of deaths could be as high as 20,000.Derna is a coastal city with a seasonal river called the Wadi Derna. Despite the abnormally heavy rain, people living near the river had little warning before the floodwaters came rushing in on that terrible morning. United Nations aid chief Martin Griffiths described the scale of the flood as “appalling” (令人惊骇的) and blamed the flood partly on sudden climate change.Now international aid teams are arriving in Derna, but they face challenges due to damaged roads, lack of access to power, water, and fuel. Tarhoni, doctor of the rescue team, warns that the most difficult weeks lie ahead. “One disaster is done and there is another to come,” he says. “The thousands and thousands of people who lost everything these people now need comfort, they need company, t hey need psychological support.”23．What do we know about Bujeldain’s family from paragraph 1?A. The explosion they heard led to the destruction of the dam.B. Bujeldain saved her family from the floods with her bravery.C. Bujeldain immediately recognized the outbreak of the floods.D. For several days, they didn’t fully realize the seriousness of the floods.24．What does Bujeldain mean by saying they are “just ghosts in shells” in paragraph 2?A. They run out of energy and are very tired.B. They feel lucky as they are safe and sound.C. They are completely saddened and shocked.D. They are sorry for the loss of their homeland.25．According to the passage, which of the following does NOT contribute to the loss of lives?A. The absence of warning.B. The extraordinary rainfall.C. Unexpected climate change.D. The damage to environment.26．What might be the main focus of international aid efforts in Derna?A. Addressing mental problems.B. Providing immediate medical care.C. Conducting climate change research.D. Rebuilding roads and access to resources.DBy the end of the century, if not sooner, the world’s oceans will be bluer and greener thanks to a warming climate, according to a new study.At the heart of the phenomenon lie tiny microorganisms (微生物) in the ocean called phytoplankton. Because of the way light reflects off the organisms, these phytoplankton create colorful patterns at the ocean surface. Ocean color varies from green to blue, depending on the type and concentration of phytoplankton. Climate change will fuel the growth of phytoplankton in some areas, while reducing it in other spots, leading to changes in the ocean’s appearance.Phytoplankton live at the ocean surface, where they pull carbon dioxide into the ocean while giving off oxygen. When these organisms die, they bury carbon in the deep ocean, an important process that helps to regulate (调控) the global climate. But phytoplankton are vulnerable to the ocean’s warming trend. Warming changes key characteristics of the ocean and can affect phytoplankton growth, since they need not only sunlight and carbon dioxide to grow, but also nutrients.Stephanie Dutkiewicz, a scientist in MIT’s Center for Global Change Science, built a climate model that projects changes to the oceans throughout the century. In a world that warms up by 3C, it found that multiple changes to the color of the oceans would occur. The model projectsthat currently blue areas with little phytoplankton could become even bluer. But in some waters, such as those of the Arctic, a warming will make conditions more suitable for phytoplankton, and these areas will turn greener. “Not only are the quantities of phytoplankton in the ocean changing.” she said, “but the type of phytoplankton is changing.”And why does that matter? Phytoplankton are the base of the food web. If certain kinds begin to disappear from the ocean, Dutkiewicz said, “it will change the type of fish that will be able to live on.” Those kinds of changes could affect the food chain.Whatever color changes the ocean experiences in the coming future will probably be too gradual and unnoticeable, but they could mean significant changes. “It’ll be a while before we can statistically show that the changes are happe ning because of climate change,” Dutkiewicz said, “but the change in the color of the ocean will be one of the early warning signals that we really have changed our planet.”27．What are the first two paragraphs mainly about?A. The cause of the changes in ocean color.B. The various patterns at the ocean surface.C. The way light reflects off marine organisms.D. The efforts to fuel the growth of phytoplankton.28．What does the underlined word “vulnerable” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A. beneficialB. sensitiveC. significantD. unnoticeable 29．What can we learn from the passage?A. Dutkiewicz’s model aims to project phytoplankton changes.B. Phytoplankton have been used to control global climate.C. Phytoplankton play a declining role in the ecosystem.D. Oceans with more phytoplankton may appear greener.30．What is the main purpose of the passage?A. To explain the effects of climate change on oceans.B. To assess the consequences of ocean color changes.C. To introduce a new method to study phytoplankton.D. To analyze the organization of the ocean food chain.The Chubby Diaries creator is part of a community of larger-bodied travelers who are showing the world that they can do anything. Following them helps because you can be like, “Oh, this place works with larger bodies.” 31 .Second plane seats and belt extendersSouthwest is one of the few airlines to offer plus-size passengers a free second seat. To ensure the extra space, Southwest recommends booking both seats beforehand, then making a request to get your money back. 32 Southwest states: “The armrest is t he definitive gauge (测量仪) for a customer of size. If you’re unable to lower both armrests, you need a second seat.” Even if your frame fits between the lowered arms, you may still need a seat-belt extender.33 .Finding size nclusive tripsFor Natalie Robinson, ziplining (压缩) in Costa Rica determined her bucket list. “Literally for the last 10 years, that’s all I talked about,” said the co-owner of Fat Girls Travel. 34 . Her fortunes changed completely on an August trip to Costa Rica, when a friend found an outfitter without weight restrictions. The guide said Robinson could dash through the rainforest as long as she could reach the starting point high in the tree tops.35When researching a trip, ask about weight restrictions as well as the availability of equipment that can accommodate your size. If you have concerns, bring your own equipment. Plus-size travelers emphasize the importance of being self-sufficient. Finding special clothes and equipment can be challenging in unfamiliar destinations.A. Pack your own equipmentB. Find supportive travel groups and tripsC. Their extra efforts are paying off as they discover how to travel comfortably andconfidentlyD. Ziplining provides much convenience for those fat girlsE. Many airlines use the armrests to determine whether a passenger requires more spaceF. Air-lines provide this extra piece of equipment free, and you can request it at the time ofboardingG. But ziplining generally has a weight limit, so she hadn’t been able to do itYou might say I found marathoning, step by step. Or perhaps it found me. I was 36 an athlete growing up. In fact, I have a hard time 37 that term to myself even today.It started when I joined a group of women in my neighborhood for a daily three-mile walk. At first it was 38 . But soon, my body adjusted and I wanted 39 . Before long, I was running 5 miles. Then I set a goal to run a half marathon. And I did complete the Covered Bridges Half Marathon. I thought, “Now what?” I started to 40 a marathon.It so happened that I 41 a meeting one night and listened to the speaker and coach, Rick Muhr, and was so 42 by his words. I told him that I had signed up for the Ocean State Marathon, just a week away, and that I really didn’t believe I could 43 . Rick locked eyes with me and said, “Trish, you’ve done enough training. You’ll finish!”I never had someone 44 me like that, let alone a real, live coach. He gave me the45 I needed. I set out to run my 46 marathon and completed it in 4:25:00. Little did I know that this would be the beginning of nearly a decade of marathon and distance running. Running a marathon isn’t for everybody. But it is for anybody, anybody who wants to47 the unreachable and to take that 48 into the rest of their life. When you cross the finish line you may never have a 49 picture of what you are made of and capable of accomplishing.

He invented the printing press, which drastically altered the way books were produced and distributed. Before the printing press, books were copied by hand, a time-consuming and expensive process. The invention of the printing press allowed for the mass production of books, leading to an explosion in literacy and the spread of knowledge.Gutenberg’s printing press used movable type, which could be reused and rearranged to create different texts. This made the process of printing much faster and more efficient. The first book to be printed using this method was the Bible, which was completed in 1455. The widespread availability of the Bible and other religious texts led to a significant increase in religious literacy among the common people.The printing press also had a profound impact on the spread of science andtechnology. It allowed scientists to share their discoveries more quickly and widely, which accelerated the pace of innovation. The printing press was instrumental in the Renaissance, a period of great cultural and intellectual growth in Europe.1、What was the main impact of Johannes Gutenberg’s invention of the printing press?A、It increased the cost of book production.B、It made books more expensive for the general public.C、It significantly changed the way books were produced and distributed.D、It decreased the literacy rate among the common people.答案：C2、How did the printing press affect the production of books?A、It made books more difficult to produce.B、It required more manual labor to produce books.C、It allowed for the mass production of books.D、It made books more expensive to produce.答案：C3、Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a consequence of the printing press?A、An increase in religious literacy.B、The spread of science and technology.C、The decline of the Renaissance.D、A faster pace of innovation.答案：C4、What was the first book printed using Johannes Gutenberg’s printing press?A、The QuranB、The Declaration of IndependenceC、The Gutenberg BibleD、The Magna Carta答案：C第四题Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow.The Rise of Social MediaIn the last decade, social media has become an integral part of our daily lives.

This rapid change has both positive and negative impacts.The positive aspects of technology are undeniable. It has made information more accessible, allowing us to learn new skills and stay updated with the latest news. It has also revolutionized the way businesses operate, increasing efficiency and productivity. However, there are also negative consequences.One of the major concerns is the impact on our social lives. Spending toomuch time online can lead to social isolation, as people may prefer virtual interactions to real-life ones. Additionally, the constant exposure to social media can lead to feelings of inadequacy and low self-esteem.Another issue is the potential for online fraud and cybercrimes. With so much personal information being shared online, individuals are at a higher risk of falling victim to scams and identity theft.Despite these challenges, many argue that the benefits of technology far outweigh the drawbacks. They believe that with proper education and awareness, we can navigate the digital world safely and responsibly.Here is an example of how technology has transformed our daily lives:munication: Before the internet, if you wanted to talk to someone in another country, you would have to wait days for a letter to arrive.

(共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)阅读理解A British sleep expert,professor Chris Idzikowski,did a research showing that there was some connection between the way people sleep and their personality.The fetal positionThe fetal position gets its name from the shape of a baby in the mother's stomach.It is the most common position in the world.People who sleep in the fetal position tend towards worry and anxiety.They are often shy and sensitive.In the fetal position,a sleeper's body is like a ball as he lies on one side with legs and arms bent.Adults usually sleep in this position.The starfish positionWhen sleeping like a starfish,you lie on your back with arms up near the pillow.Sleep scientist Idzikowski says starfish sleepers value friendship.People who sleep in this position are good listeners and quick to help others.If you have a starfish sleeper as a best friend,you're in luck.Starfish sleepers are great listeners and a source of comfort to others.The freefall positionIn the freefall position,sleepers have their hands on or around their pillows,with their heads turned to one side. Freefall sleepers are social but sensitive and can become upset by extreme situations.They like to be in control of everything around their life.It's all part of their long periods of indecision,but once they make a choice,they stick to it. This position can aid in digestion(消化).The log positionFor those who suffer from back pain,the log position could be helpful for you.Log sleepers have both their arms and legs extended,so their bodies are straight like a log.Log sleepers are very trusting,but are usually social and easy-going individuals.Idzikowski claims that preferring a log position suggests that a person is sociable and can communicate with others easily.1．What's the personality of people sleeping in fetal position?A．Social and easy-going.B．Sensitive and social.C．Friendly and positive.D．Shy and sensitive.2．Which of the following is most suitable to be a friend?A．A fetal sleeper.B．A starfish sleeper.C．A freefall sleeper.D．A log sleeper.3．What can we know about log sleepers?A．They do well in sports.B．They are good listeners.C．They are easy to get along with.D．They have difficulty making decisions.阅读理解The world will become a better place when we realize that everyone can have bad days and that we care enough and take actions.A Kansas fourth-grade teacher Rachel Harder recognized this,and she found an amazing way to help out both her students and their families.A few years ago,Rachel attended a trauma(精神创伤)conference.She learned that some police stations partnered with schools.They could let teachers know when their students need help,patience or extra care.A year after the conference,Rachel had a student with autism who frequently had difficult days.To support the student,Rachel told the student's mom to simply text her"Handle with Care"to let her know when the student was experiencing difficult time."When she would text me,I knew that her daughter needed some extra time and a quiet place to get help,not going to the playground for morning announcements(通告),so that the rest of her daughter's day went well,"Rachel said.The simple method was such a success that Rachel decided to send all of her students home with a note for their parents.It explained what the"Handle with Care"system was and how they could make use of it.In no time,the parents began to show their appreciation for Rachel's unbelievable act of kindness.But Rachel's kindness didn't end with her class.News spread of the amazing system,and teachers across the country began giving it a shot in their own class.Printed materials could be found on the school website,and the feedback(反馈)has been extremely positive!4．What happened to Rachel a few years ago?A．She met with a policeman.B．She noticed some students in need.C．She acted as a host at a contest.D．She raised a girl with autism.5．What can we imagine Rachel probably did to the girl student?A．She asked to stop the morning announcements.B．She talked with her in the playground.C．She took her home ahead of time.D．She comforted her at a quiet place.6．How did the parents treat Rachel's system?A．They paid no attention to it.B．They changed it in daily use.C．They accepted it thankfully.D．They introduced it to others personally.7．What is the text mainly about?A．A proper system.B．A considerate teacher.C．A story going online.D．A class influencing the nation.阅读理解The characteristic(特征)of shyness is to feel frightened and nervous in new social situations or when being the center of attention.Whether shyness is part of your children's personality or just something they feel when they are in front of a group of strangers,it is a common experience,according to a study.To look at shyness,researchers brought152children aged7-8into a lab and told them they would give a speech, which would be filmed and shown to other children.The study showed that about10%of the children showed a level of stress over time when giving the speech.About25%of the children were not reported to be shy in the eyes of their parents,but in fact showed a level of social stress from giving the speech.This finding provides the fact that shyness may be a part of these children's temperament(性情).For children at this age,shyness may be a quite common and normal experience when they face a speech task.For a smaller group of shy children,however,being the center of attention may be stressful at different times and environments.A shy temperament isn't always valued by society like an outgoing personality,but that doesn't mean there is something wrong.Everyone can feel shy at times depending on the environment.And those who are particularly shy often have happy social lives—they just aren't likely to be the liveliest people in a crowded room.Although shyness itself may not necessarily be a problem,parents should pay attention to signs of worry, particularly in their shy children.Importantly,however,we know that not all shy children are the same,and that many shy children grow up to be well-balanced adults.8．What can we learn from paragraph1?A．Shyness is not an unusual characteristic.B．Shyness is born with personality.C．Shyness will appear when one is in public.D．Shyness means not communicating with others.9．What is the finding of the study?A．Few kids like to give a speech to others.B．Some kids can get shy while giving speeches.C．Some kids appear less shy with their parents.D Some kids are stressed when being separated.10．What does the author advise parents to do when facing shy children?A．Bring them to crowded space.B．Care for them and give them confidence.C．Keep them away from shyness.D．Let them be alone.11．What can be the best title for the text?A．When are people shy?B．Ways of beating shynessC．Why is shyness a bad thing?D．The discoveries about shyness阅读理解Humans are not the animal world's only fashion followers.Tits(山雀)can be one of them,too.A study by Sonja Wild and Lucy Aplin shows that,given the chance,they make their nests(巢穴)with this season's must-have color.Dr.Wild and Dr.Aplin followed up on a study which noted that the blue tits preferred to put the same plants into their nests.This also suggested fashion-following—and it led Dr.Wild and Dr.Aplin to imagine that birds were studying the nests of others and copying them.The birds they followed carried instruments on them.That allowed researchers to follow a large number of tits by their arrival at food dispensers(自动取物装置)throughout the woods.One day in March2021,Dr.Wild and Dr.Aplin used five dispensers with wool rather than food.Each contained two colors—either orange and pink or blue and purple—but all were rigged to give only one of these.This remained so until at least one local nest was seen to include wool from a dispenser.At that moment,the other color was discovered, too.As a comparison,Dr.Wild and Dr.Aplin set up four wool dispensers in a separate area,each providing two colors from the beginning.Of68tits'nests,26included wool from a dispenser.Of these,18were built after both colors had been gotten from all dispensers.Even so,10of that18included only the color of wool first chosen by a nest makers.By contrast(相比之下),all8nests with wool have mixed colors,which showed a clear difference in the record.Tits,then,do seem to be"in fashion"when it comes to nest-building materials.Tits like those of the leaders of human fashions and it is worth more deep research.12．Why are the same plants put into nests by the tits?A．They want to beautify their nests.B．They find no other plants.C．They are used to doing this.D．They want to keep warm.13．What does the underlined word"rigged"in paragraph4mean?A．Refused.B．Warned.C．Forced.D．Arranged.14．What method is mainly used in the experiment?A．Testing colors.B．Observing activities.C．Comparing results.D．Checking numbers.15．What is the author's attitude to the research?A．Disappointed.B．Supportive C．Doubtful.D．Unclear.二、第一部分阅读，第二节任务型阅读(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

ARecently a growing number of foreign universities, such as the University of Cambridge, are accepting China's gaokao results as one of their admission standards(录取标准).Is the Chinese college entrance exam being recognized globally? Four readers share their opinions:Cecilia Zhang(China)The gaokao is a really difficult exam. If possible, it can be used as one of the indicators( 指标) for foreign universities, in addition to other indicators, such as how well they speak the target language. The students, who perform well in the gaokao,also have the ability to successfully adapt to( 适应) Western styles of education. I believe accepting the gaokao as an indicator is a win-win for Chinese students and overseas universities.Wchao37(US)In fact,gaokao is perhaps much more difficult than the SAT or ACT exams. You can get a perfect score of 1600 on the SAT but not in the gaokao, partly because the SAT is a machine-scored multiple-choice exam. Do you know anyone that has ever achieved a perfect score in the gaokao?Harry01 (UK)Hundreds of students from China have entered universities in the UK I using their gaokao scores which requires that their knowledge of English be above a certain level. This measure has benefited specific groups of students from various background s in China.Mbursian(Canada)In order to attend a university in an English-speaking country,a student needs to have an acceptable band score on the IELTS.Most importantly, students need an acceptable knowledge of the language spoken in any country they plan to study in. Now the Chinese gaokao is closer to meeting the requirements of different countries.21. Who believes accepting the Chinese gaokao is a win-win?A. Cecilia ZhangB. Wchao37.C. Harry01.D. Mbursian.22.

The University of Cambridge made a good decision.BThis was the first real task I received in my new school.It seemed simple:go on the Internet and find information about a man named George Washington. As I searched the name, I found that there were two famous people having the same name who looked completely different!One invented hundreds of uses for peanuts(花生), while the other led some sort of army across America. I stared at the screen, wondering which one my teacher meant. I called my grandfather for a golden piece of advice;let the coin decide.I flipped( 掷)a coin and Ah! Tails(背面)! My report would be about the great man who invented peanut butter, George Washington Carver.Weeks later,I stood in front of the classroom and proudly read my homework. But things started to get strange.I looked around the room,only to find my classmates with big smiles on their faces and tears in their eyes and my stone-faced teacher. I was completely lost.“What could be causing everyone to act this way?”Oh well,I dropped the paper and sat down at my desk, burning to find out what I had done wrong. As a classmate began his report,it all became clear, “My report is on George Washington, the man who started the American War of independence.”The whole world became quiet! How could I know that my teacher meant that George Washington?Of course,my subject result was awful. Sad but fearless,I decided to turn this around.I talked to the headmaster Miss Lancelot, but she said firmly: No re-dos; no new score. I felt that it was not fair,and I believed I should get a second chance. So I threw myself heartily into my work for the rest of the school year. Ten months later, I sat in the headmaster's office again, but this time a completely different conversation. I smiled and flashed back to the terrible moment at the beginning of the year as the headmaster told me I was good enough to skip(跳过) the 6th grade and started the 7th grade next term.24.

Which of the following proverbs can best describe the main idea of this story?A. Seeing is believing.B. Where there is a will, there is a way.C. One is never too old to learn.D. A friend in need is a friend indeed.CA recent study suggests that when it comes to the benefits of reading, just doing it matters more than the content.Researchers have found that reading novels helps the brain development in understanding others and imagining the world. They also have found that people who spend a few hours per week reading books live longer than those who don't read.But how to build a habit of reading?Like any habit,the trick is in figuring out what suits you. The hardest part about reading is actually picking up a book. You have to sit down, pick up a book and start reading.“I always have a book next to wherever I put my phone,”My friend Jimmy once told me.“So if I want to check my phone,I physically can see the book there. Nine times out often, I end up reading the book instead of using my phone for nothing.”Another challenge is time,and in that case, audiobooks(有声书)can be a good choice. Audiobooks are great for filling the mind while you're on the way to work, washing dishes or working out at the gym.If you're still stuck on the way to developing a reading habit, the best way is to revisit your old favorite books to get your youthful reading pleasure. You should free yourself from the opinion that only important or educational books are worth reading. There's no-shame in rereading the books that made you fall in love with reading in the first place. Restarting the practice of reading is a little like picking up painting. It takes some work to get into the best state, but once you begin, the results are beautiful and satisfying.28. What is the most difficult part in forming the reading habit?A. Getting reading skills.B. Finding a great book.C. Having limited time.D. Getting reading started.29. What is the advantage of audiobooks according to the text?A. They are time saving.B.

It is of great convenienceC. It improves the taste for art.D. It can increase your patience.31. What can be the best title for the text?A. Method of killing free timeB. Advantages of using audiobooksC. Way to choose educational booksD. Tips on developing a reading habitDLast Friday,a special thing took place at the National Theater of Korea.A robot called EveR 6led an orchestra(管弦乐队)in a performance of Korean music. Robots have led orchestras in other countries, but this was the first time ever in Korea.EveR 6 is a robot built by the Korea Institute of Industrial Technology (KITECH).It's about as tall as a person,and has a human-like face that can show feelings. EveR 6 has joints(关节) in its neck, shoulders, etc. As a result, it can move its arms quickly in many different directions.But EveR 6 doesn't think on its own like some Artificial Intelligence programs. Instead, it has a limited groupof movements that it has been trained to perform.To make these movements as natural as possible, EveR6’s movements are learned from real human conductors.When EveR 6 moved its baton(指挥棒)for the first time,a piece of music rang out. Every movement of the robot's arms brought more instruments into the mix,and the orchestra's music grew louder and more exciting. Mr White, a human conductor,was impressed with the way EveR6moved.“The robot was able to present such difficult moves much better than I had imagined,”he said.But the robot still is not nearly ready to supersede human conductor.Mr White says the robot's greatest weakness is that it can't hear.“Some people think that conducting is just about hand waving and keeping the beat,” says Mr White. But a good conductor needs to listen to the orchestra, so that he or she can correct and encourage the orchestra as it plays.Mr White doesn't think robots are likely to replace human conductors. But he believes robots could be helpfulin situations like practice parts where the same thing needs to be done many times.32. What is paragraph 2 mainly about?A. The effect of EveR 6.B. The advantage of EveR 6.C. The importance of EveR 6.D. The basic information of EveR 6.33. What does the underlined word“supersede”in paragraph 5 mean?A. Look forward to.B. Show interest in.C. Take the place of.D. Make an impression on.34. Which of the following may Mr White agree with?A. Robots' role as a conductor will be overlooked.B. Robots could work in some fields of conductors' work.C. Robots are useless in practice parts of a conductor.D. Robots will replace human conductors.35. In which section of a newspaper may this text appear?A.Science.B. Sports.C. Health.D. Education.第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
