It was made in 1734, in Italy, by Antonio Stradivari. Only about 600 of his violins are believed to still exist. They were regarded as the rarest and best instruments in the world.Roman’s Stradivarius was his musical partner for 38 years. Then bad luck struck; the violin was stolen from his office after a concert while he greeted well-wishers. He was shocked and upset by its loss. “Yes, it’s a bit like losing your arm,” he told his daughter, Jill.It took Roman a year to find and buy a new violin as the size and tones (音质) of each were different from his. He had to learn his musical pieces all over again! Roman kept playing into his 90s and taught at Boston University until he died in 2012, aged 101.His daughter says, “We wondered from time to time if the violin would surface, but... Our mother and father taught us to keep moving forward and not think over what life throws at you.”In 2015, the wife of the man who stole the violin wanted to know if it was really a Stradivarius. She had looked after him when he was dying from cancer and now it belonged to her. She took it to master violin maker and dealer Phillip Injeia. He recognized it immediately and contacted the FBI. Jill, who received the call from FBI, said in an interview, “I said, ‘I have to call my sisters. I’ll tell them not to get their hopes up,’ but Phillip Injeian said, ‘You don’t have to do that. This is the violin.’”Jill said they would sell the violin, not to a collector but someone who would play it. She said it would finally be in the hands of another great artist and its amazing voice would be heard in concert halls around the country.4.Why did Roman feel like he had lost an arm after the violin was stolen?A.It cost him a lot of money.B.It had served as a useful arm.C.It had been his musical partner.D.It was created by a famous maker.5.What is the turning point of this story?A.The FBI got in touch with Jill.B.The Stradivarius was found missing.C.Roman Totenberg died in 2012, aged 101.D.The violin was taken to a master violin maker and dealer.6.Why would the family like the violin to be owned by a violinist?A.They intended to become well-known.B.They wanted to sell it at a higher price.C.They hoped to remember Roman Totenberg.D.They wished to make the most of the Stradivarius.7.Which words can best describe Phillip Injeian?A.Expert and confident.B.Creative and careful.C.Learned and proud.D.Strong-willed and friendly.It’s reported that about 20 percent of the Amazon rainforest has disappeared during thespecies native to the Amazon River area, it’s affecting humans worldwide. When it comes to the protection of the Amazon, it’s hard for many people to relate because they don’t feel connected to the area. There are actually a lot of direct connections, no matter how far away we are.A connection that affects everyone on the planet is climate (气候) change. Planting new trees in the forest is basically a way of removing CO2 from the air. Rain forests have a carbon (碳) reduction nearly equal to half of what is in the air. About half of that is in the Amazon. Another case in point is a big snake called the bushmaster that lives in the Amazon. Today, millions of people use medicines made from its venom (毒液) to treat high blood pressure. So they have longer, fuller, and more productive lives.In the 1960s, there was only one highway in the entire Amazon. That’s an area as large as the continental United States with one highway and three million people. Today, there are between 30 million to 40 million people, countless roads, and about 20 percent forests have been cut down. But on the plus side, 50 years ago there were only two national parks and a national forest and a reserve in Brazil. Today, more than 50 percent of the Amazon is under some form of protection.“There’s been a lot of damage done and forest lost, but nothing is gone until it’s gone”, noted National Geographic explorer Dr. Thomas Lovejoy. “We want to see more shared planning between the departments of transportation, energy, agriculture, and the other industries in the area. We think Amazon cities can have higher quality of life and keep people in existing cities so there’s less reason to deforest.”8.Which can replace the underlined word “Deforestation” in paragraph 1?A.Planting more trees.B.Destroying the forests.C.Protecting the species.D.Polluting the rivers.9.What might the partial loss of the Amazon rainforest lead to?A.The increase of extreme weather.B.The removal of CO2.C.More people with high blood pressure.D.The overgrowth of the bushmaster. 10.How does paragraph 3 mainly develop?A.By making comparisons.B.By listing reasons.C.By explaining a definition.D.By making a summary.11.What is Dr. Thomas’ attitude towards the future of the Amazon rainforest?A.Doubtful.B.Worried.C.Positive.D.Uncaring.While screen time is known to affect sleep, new research suggests that interactive (互动的) activities, such as texting friends or playing video games, put off and reduce the time spent asleep to a greater degree than passive (被动的) screen time like watching television, especially for teens.The team studied the daytime screen-based activities of 475 teenagers using daily surveys. They asked the teens how many hours they had spent that day communicating with friends through social media and how many hours they spent playing video games, surfing the internet and watching television or videos. Finally, the researchers asked if they had joined in any of these activities in the hour before bed.Next, the team measured their sleep time for one week. The researchers found that the teens spent an average of two hours per day communicating with friends via social media, about 1.3 hours playing video games, less than an hour surfing the internet and about 1.7 hours watching television or videos. For every hour throughout the day that they used screens to communicate with friends, they fell asleep about 11 minutes later averagely. For every hour to play video games, they fell asleep about 9 minutes later. Those who talked, texted orplayed games in the hour before bed lost the most sleep: about 30 minutes later.Interestingly, David, lead author of the study, said the team found no obvious relations between passive screen-based activities and sleep. “It could be that passive activities are less mentally exciting than interactive activities,” said Anne, co-author of the study. “It’s a tricky situation,” she said. “These screen tools are really important to everyone nowadays, so it’s hard to put a limit on them, but if you’re really looking out for a teenager’s health and well-being, you might consider limiting the more interactive activities, especially in the hour before bed.”12.Which of the following belongs to interactive screen activities?A.Seeing movies.B.Watching videos.C.Texting friends.D.Surfing the internet.13.Who might lose the most sleep according to the text?A.Lucy who watched a three-hour movie before going to bed.B.Jack who had a 30-minute video chat with his brother before bed.C.Sam who played computer games for two hours throughout the day.D.Amy who chatted with her friends on WeChat for one hour in the morning. 14.What does the underlined word “tricky” mean in paragraph 4?A.Frightening.B.Awkward.C.Hopeless.D.Encouraging. 15.What can be a suitable title for the text?A.Screen time activities cut down our sleep hoursB.Interactive screen use reduces sleep time in teenagersC.Passive screen use is better than interactive screen useD.Parents should prevent children from using social mediaReading is a healthy habit that everyone should develop from childhood because of theThe following will discuss the effects of not reading books, so you can basically consider and judge where you are and understand how reading can be beneficial.17 People who don’t read and don’t like to read find it harder to learn than people who actually read. For example, most students who fail to develop a reading habit find it difficult to get through school. This then leads to students dropping out, which is bad for society. Reading is a habit that strengthens the brain and develops your inborn love ofwanting to learn more. Therefore, not being addicted to books closes you off from this.Narrow mindedness. Reading a variety of books broadens the readers’ mind. Most people who don’t read have a certain narrow mindedness to them that can easily be noticed.18 When you don’t read, you’re forced to take everything at face value and then create and shape your views in this way.Low brain power. One advantage of reading is its ability to improve brain function. Reading can help people become better thinkers and use brains more effectively. People who don’t read usually have low brain power because they don’t exercise the brain as much as readers do. 19Poor imagination. Reading books allows you to tap into your imaginative power. 20 This is important because it expands (拓展) your thought process as well as the ability to understand. People who don’t read books usually are short of the inspiration necessary to create imagination. This makes it difficult to be creative.A.Learning difficulty.B.The reason for this is simple.C.Such exercise strengthens the brain.D.Inability to fully understand the world.E.It then makes you picture what you read.F.It is developed slowly just as any habit would.G.The ability to read is important in today’s world.二、完形填空As Hallee gets to the finish line of the 800-metre run for kids, the crowd is cheeringWhen the twins were five, Jada decided that she wanted to be a(n) 27 .

I ended up really enjoying the process of being creative and working with a team. That was when I knew I wanted to be a director.”While many people think that directors are experts at art, Di found that directors are, in fact, experts at management. “Only one-third of my time is spent on set.

It is the core principle of a sustainable (可持续的) life, but few of us can apply it in our own lives. Now, there’s a “lab” you can explore and discover a way toward living sustainably.3R Lab is located in Xuhui district, Shanghai. It offers exhibitions, activities and goods that showcase the 3R principle. The key to a sustainable life, according to Vincent T. M. Fong, the 32-year-old from Hong Kong who created the lab, is to make it a long-term promise. “A sustain able life should be sustainable itself in the first place. You can’t lead a sustainable life on a whim. Small and comfortable changes are exactly what you need,” Fong said.The lab regularly hosts ugly fruit markets, offering these strange fruits which are often thrown away by traditional markets and consumers at a quite attractive price. “They’re thrown away simply because of their appearance. Buying fruit regardless of how they look reduces food waste significantly in our daily life,” Fong commented.A wa ter tank with two types of straws is another equipment in the lab. “One type is made from normal plastics widely used in our daily life while the other is from PHA, a new replacement for plastics, and the water is sourced from the Suzhou River,” explained Ni Li, an employee of the lab. Visitors can see how the PHA straws degrade (降解) into a thin layer in just one month, while the others remain unchanged.“Leading a sustainable life does not necessarily mean sacrifice,” said Fong. Consuming ugly fruit and using degradable plastics are small changes that are good for the environment and easy to stick to. Only in this way can the 3R principle become part of our lives, he added.After working there for six months, Ni, who wasn’t mindful of the 3R principle befor e arriving at the lab, now uses her cup every time she buys a coffee. “The job has reshaped my life,” Ni said.8. What does the-underlined phrase “on a whim” in the second paragraph probably mean?A.In a rush. B.On a regular basis.C.Without any reason. D.As a common practice.9. What is the purpose of the ugly fruit market at 3R Lab?A.To reduce food waste. B.To promote healthy eating.C.To sell new kinds of fruit. D.To provide more affordable fruit,10. What can the water tank at 3R Lab show to its visitors?A.The water pollution caused by plastics. B.The degradation of PHA straws.C.The interaction between two types of straws. D.The disappearance of normal plastic straws.11. What can we infer from the last paragraph about Ni?A.She avoids going to traditional markets. B.She has devoted less time to her hobbies.C.She has got rid of a few bad habits. D.She is leading a low carbon life now. The year 2023 marked the 20th anniversary of China’s first manned space mission, with Yang Liwei becoming the first Chinese astronaut to go to space. Since then, another 17 astronauts have reached for the stars. The selection of the fourth generation of astronauts began in 2022 and is now in full swing. Experts revealed how difficult the training is before astronauts can explore the space.The human body is not designed for space life. Astronauts are faced with multiple challenges on a space mission. The changes in gravity can have an impact on their bodies. The feeling of isolation and closed living in a small spacecraft for months can damage their mental health. Emergencies during missions challenge their knowledge and ability to solve problems under huge pressure. So it’s no wonder that astronauts have to meet extremely high standards and go through a tough training program.To make sure that Chinese astronauts complete their missions and return to Earth safely, “Eight types, including over 200 subjects of training, were set,” Huang Weifen, chief designer of the astronaut system for China’s manned space project, told CCTV News. Apart from physical fitness training, it also includes basic scientific theories, psychological health, and mock (模拟的) missions. Among the training subjects, the most tiring one is underwater training. This training is designed for astronauts to adapt to the microgravity environment in space. According to Huang, astronauts stay underwater in suits weighing over 100 kilograms for six hours at a time. Water resistance (阻力) and the heavy suit make every move exhausting. “Nie Haisheng once repor ted a two-kilogram loss in weight after one underwatei training exercise,” said Huang, Each astronaut receives training for at least three and a half years before having the chance to go to space.Who can become astronauts? The first and second generations of Chinese astronauts were selected only from the Chinese People’s Liberation Army Air Force. However, since 2018, when the third-generation selection process began, ordinary people have been invited to apply. They can fly with pilot astronauts to space.12. What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about?A.High standards astronauts need to meet. B.Health problems caused by microgravity.C.Requirements of the tough astronaut training. D.Different challenges astronauts face in space.13. Which is the most physically demanding for its participants according to the article?A.Mock mission. B.Underwater training.C.Physical fitness training. D.Scientific theory learning.14. Why did Huang mention Nie Haishertg’s two-kilogram weight loss?A.To stress how challenging the training is. B.To describe Nie’s personal achievements.C.To introduce the weight limit for astronauts. D.To explain the importance of proper training.15. What is the most suitable title for the passage?A.The Qualities of Being an Astronaut B.Astronauts Faced with MultipleChallengesC.Preparing the Mind and Body for Space D.The 20th Anniversary of China’s SpaceMissionMinor Cold is the 23rd solar term of the 24 traditional Chinese solar terms. For most areas of China, it marks the start of the coldest days of the year. Still, bitter cold can’t prevent people from enjoying their lives. 16Enjoy Mutton hot pot and baked sweet potato.Mutton hot pot, and baked sweet potato are two recommended foods for Minor Cold. 17 It can help prevent cold from harming their organs. The yang energy in the three types of food is strengthened through their method of cooking: boiling, stir frying and baking.Eat Laba porridge.Another important traditional food for Minor Cold is Laba porridge. 18 Local people in Beijing often cook Laba porridge on the night of the seventh day of the twelfth lunar month.

A small dog sat in his lap. Stewart, a vet (兽医) at an animal hospital, noticed its injured fur and skin. He approached the man and offered to bring medication for the dog's skin, a gift the man readily accepted.“I remember returning a week later, and the hair was coming back the rash (皮疹) was gone,” Stewart told the Modesto Bee. Tom said his dog was finally sleeping at night again because it was no longer feeling restless for its illness. “‘And you know,’ he said, ‘I’m sleeping at night.’ He started to cry, and that got me touched too,” Stewart says.Stewart was addicted. “When you do good deeds, there is something you get in return that feels much larger. I knew I wanted to keep doing it, "he told .Today, Stewart, 50, has his own practice in town, yet he still finds time for street pets. He's helped roughly 400 animals since 2011.There's a great need for his kind of help. About 25 percent of Modesto's homeless population owns a pet, but there are few healthcare options available to them. To fill that gap, Stewart can often be found wandering dark streets and underpasses (地下通道), anywhere he thinks the homeless might be camped out. Stewart pays for almost all of it out of his own pocket. For those expensive procedures, he set up a GoFundMe account to help cover treatment costs. “I don't ever want to have to turn anybod y away,” he explains.“To have somebody like Dr. Stewart come out here to take care of my dog just because it's the right thing to do, that's huge.” Joe, one of the dog owners, said in a video that Stewart posted on the GoFundMe page.4.

Almost half of the participants in a study who were asked to turn off their phone notifications for a day said it was still influencing their habits two years later, say the researchers behind the new study. At first, Martin Pielot from telecommunications firm Telefonica in Spain, and Luz Rello of Carnegie Mellon University, wanted to last their Do Not Disturb challenge across a whole week-—but they couldn’t find anyone to take part for that length of time. “We just got empty, frightened stares,” Pielot said. “And so finally we backed down to 24 hours.”Overall, the group is made up of 30 volunteers. Pielot and Rello found that the responses (反应) to a day away from notifications were different a lot: for people who didn’t check their phones that much anyway, it wasn’t such a big deal. But for those whose f riends, bosses, and co-workers expect quick replies, the study brought on some extra stress and anxiety.For 9 participants, the Do Not Disturb challenge brought on extra feelings of missing out on something, such as a message from a friend or a package delivery (递送). At the same time, 19 participants reported feeling clearly more concentrated and more productive over the day with their notifications off. Some participants felt less connected to their social groups as a result of the Do Not Disturb challeng e, so there’s a lot to take in from the study: it shows how phone notifications interrupt (打断) us, and how they connect us to others and enable us to manage social expectations.On top of all those findings, the researchers are eager to point out how the day off from phone notifications changed habits in the long term-22 of the volunteers said they planned to change their phone notification settings as a result of the Do Not Disturb challenge, and after two years 13 of them were still following through with the changes. Considering most people seldom touch their phone’s notification settings, that’s a high number.8. What can we learn from Pielot’s words?A.Few people are interested in the experiment.B.Most people overly depend on their cell phones.C.People can get paid for taking part in the challenge.D.The participants can bear no phone notifications for one week.9. What’s the response of most participants to the experiment?A.More happiness. B.Some extrastress. C.Nothingdifferent.D.Higherproductivity.10. How do the researchers feel about the result of the experiment?A.Pleased. B.Moved. C.Doubtful. D.Regretful.11. What’s the purpose of the research?A.To show those not using phones live longer.B.To find out how to get rid of phones in the long run.C.To examine the influence of turning off phone notifications.D.To explore how a day without phones affects people’s habits.Have you heard of the term “tweenager”? It’s a slang (俚语) word used in the UK to describe children between about ten and twelve years old. They are between being a junior and a teenager. Why do the press and media refer to kids in this way?Well, more and more companies now create products and services for tweenagers. They seem to tell us that tweenagers must have more money, freedom and influence upon their parents than they’ve ever had before.Most children in the UK today get more pocket money than kids did a decade ago. Despite problems happening fairly often and regularly in the economy, parents generally have more money to give than before, since they are having fewer children on average than in the past. In addition, a higher divorce (离婚) rate in the UK makes parents try to compensate by buying presents for their children. It’s a bad habit for both parents and children to get into, but parents are under constant pressure from commercial marketing and the requests of their children.You may wonder how tweenagers have more freedom than previous generations. Well, UK children today are very media- and computer-literate. They have access to much more information about life and the world. They may have experienced a lot in life as well. With such sophistication (老于世故) at such a young age, it’s no wonder tweenagers are able to influence their parents.Now UK tweenagers are also very fashion-conscious and concerned about their images. In a world of television programs that promise immediate success and fame at a young age, some people think it’s extremely important to look fashionable.So what does tweenage fashion look like? It’s lots of brightly colored materials, particularly pink, and usually plain, not patterned. There are plenty of bows, necklaces and bracelets, too.But can it really be healthy for us to encourage kids to be like adults at a young age? Are we stealing childhoods in return for a bit of profit? Well, the UK government is certainly concerned, and for that reason has strict laws preventing companies from clearly and openly marketing their products and services to children.12. What is the use of the first paragraph?A.To explain a concept and bring up the topic.B.To tell the difference between a junior and a teenager.C.To show why people in the UK prefer to use the slang.D.To state how the slang came into being and make a summary.13. Why are more products and services created for tweenagers?A.Because children education is becoming more important.B.Because they are more affordable to tweenagers.C.Because it is better to study music from an early age.D.Because more companies are creating products and services.14. What does the underlined word “compensate” in Paragraph 3 mean?A.Keep company. B.Reward. C.Make up. D.Motivate.15. Why do tweenagers pay more attention to their appearance?A.They are afraid of being laughed at by others.B.They have less freedom than previous generations.C.They wish to become successful and famous quickly.D.They are encouraged to be like adults at a young age.Stress Management: How to Reduce, Prevent, and Cope with StressIf you’re living with high levels of stress, you’re putting your health and happiness at risk. Stress does harm to your health. It may seem like there’s nothing you can do about stress. 16 The following stress management tips can help you do that.Get movingWhen you’re stressed, the last thing you probably feel like doing is getting up and exercising. 17 You don’t have to be an athlete or spend hours in a gym to experience the benefits. Exercise releases endorphins that make you feel good, and it can also serve as a valuable distraction from your daily worries.Connect to othersThere is nothing more calming than spending quality time with another human being who makes you feel safe and understood. So make it a point to connect regularly — and in person — with family and friends. Keep in mind that the people you talk to don’t have to be able to fix your stress.18 . And try not to let worries about looking weak keep you from opening up. The people who care about you will be happy because of your trust. It will only strengthen your relationship.19When you’re worn out by your morning traffic, or stuck in a stressful meeting at work, you need a way to manage your stress levels right now. The fastest way to reduce stress is by taking a deep breath and using your senses — what you see, hear, taste, and touch — or through a comfortable movement. By viewing a favorite photo, smelling a specific smell, listening to a favorite piece of music, tasting sweets, or hugging a pet, for example, you can quickly relax and focus yourself.Effective stress management helps you break the hold stress has on your life, so you can be happier, healthier, and more productive. But stress management is not one-size-fits-all. 20Our son, Tom, was different from others, because he was born with a serious brain disease. My wife and I often comforted him as he faced many _______ in his early years.It was _______ to see him regularly chosen last for baseball, but his most tough time came when he began high school.

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.Venice, one of Europe’s most historical, romantic, and unique cities, is in danger of drowning — not in one of its famed canals but under the weight of people. Since 1980, there have been more tourists than residents in V enice and right at present the number 13 (climb) rapidly. As tourists arrive, so do businesses to support them. Small, local stores are being replaced by souvenir shops and fast-food joints; Lately, accommodations 14 (transform) to Airbnbs, driving the cost of living here forever upwards. As locals leave the city, the vacuum (真空) is filled with yet 15 (much) tourist investment and before you know it, the charm and culture of old Venice that attracted us here in the first place has been transformed and lost. It’s no wonder that 16 World Heritage Committee has made a plan to add “Venice and its Lagoon” to its World Heritage in Danger list.Venice is not alone. Croatian favourite Dubrovnik, with history and cultural excellence, is suffering the same fate. There were 5,000 residents in 1991, but in 2017 only 1,157 people were living in the Old Town 17 it became overcrowded with tourists and businesses flooding to them. Dubrovnik is a convenient stop for cruise ships moving around the waters of the Adriatic and its popularity has grown further following the success of Game of Thrones, 18 was filmed there.Many popular locations have started to apply strategies 19 (fight) the rising tide of tourism using a combination of legislation and financial instruments. Barcelona is limiting the number of licenses for tourist accommodation 20 reducing the number of cruise ships allowed to dock (停泊). A smaller number of tourists are allowed to visit the Old Town and 21 will need to pay a city entry fee. The tourist tax is being increased to a price higher than 22 (expect). Venice has recently introduced a tourist fee to discourage day-trippers.三、选词填空Directions: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can beWhat makes the perfect winter read?As the weather turns and the sky darkens, autumn and winter can often feel like the perfect time for curling up with a good book.But I wonder if it’s just me who finds that my reading 23 seem to change along with the seasons? The books I might choose to read in some sunny garden are very different from the ones I want when the wind is blowing outside and a few precious hours of watery daylight are the best we can hope for.I always 24 writing that evokes (唤起) time and place, and in the midst of the coldest, darkest part of the year, I want more than ever for a book to be “a ball of light” in my hands, as Ezra Pound famously once put it — a(n) 25 of life and love.I also need a certain degree of comfortness in a winter read — something that will keep me warm when the weather won’t! Give me gothic (哥特式的) building in the snow, with heroines whose passions burn brightly. Or let me escape completely, into some fantasy 26 — but I’d still like my forests icy and pine smelling. Give me stories of 27 and re-birth. Remind me that this time of year has 28 , too.Katherine May’s beautiful, poetic deep thought on the season, Wintering, does precisely this. Seemingly, it’s 29 , combining aspects of her life with more universal thoughts on how we might winter well. But there’s a lyrical (抒情的), 30 quality to the writing that confuses plain concepts like “genre”. She 31 that in winter we need different tools to get us through the season and it also offers one such tool, since Wintering itself is the perfect guide book and 32 to see you through until spring.That’s why books that help me see the beauty of the season will always be high on my list of winter reads.四、完形填空Robot PetsIn July, Unitree, a Chinese company, launched Go2, its second-generation robotic dog.Priced from $1,270, this robot pet can walk, perform handstands, and take photographs. Equipped with a smart speaker, it responds to voice commands. Go2 joins the market as the latest in a series of attempts by scientists to create machines that can do everything a real animal does — and leave a lot less mess to 33 afterwards.The first robot dog available to buy was Sony’s AIBO. Released in 1999, AIBO was a(n) 34 hit — 3000 units sold in just under 20 minutes in Japan. Its name is a 35 of “artificial intelligence” and “robot”. AI is a computer programme that can learn from experience and perform tasks that usually require human 36 . AIBO was discontinued in 2006, but went back on sale in 2017.With cameras for eyes, AIBO 37 obstacles and safely explores its surroundings. Voice-recognition technology enables it to turn its head to face a person when they speak, and even identify different voices. 38 , the dog has been programmed to respond to physical contact, such as touching its back or patting its head — just the way a real-life puppy would react. AIBO also “ 39 ” over time, and its behaviour changes as it develops from a playful puppy into an adult.Electronic pets are 40 toys for children, though. They can be valuable companions for older people, too. In 2022, a study by the University of Plymouth found that robot 41 could improve the wellbeing of elderly people who live in care homes and also those suffering from a condition that affects the brain. They found that the cute robots can provide all the emotional benefits of a real animal, without any of the work that comes with taking care of one.As technology develops, robot pets will become 42 advanced. Whether or not they take the place of living, breathing, barking and purring pets in our homes remains to be seen.33.A.clean up B.get into C.sort out D.centre around 34.A.delayed B.instant C.gradual D.tricky 35.A.renew B.reunion C.combination D.representation 36.A.strength B.intelligence C.responsibility D.appreciation 37.A.detects B.signals C.overcomes D.processes 38.A.For instance B.By contrast C.What’s more D.After all 39.A.varies B.fades C.adjusts D.matures 40.A.more than B.nothing but C.no more than D.less than41.A.participation B.attempts C.design D.companions 42.A.literally B.increasingly C.ironically D.relevantly五、阅读理解A short period of sleep taken during the day is known as a nap. Naps don’t just have benefits for adults at work, though. They could also help pupils to make the most of their school day. Studies have shown that a 20 to 30-minute “beauty sleep” makes people more alert and focused. This improves people’s ability to remember new information, which would help school children concentrate during lessons. Experts say that napping also improves brain functions, such as memory and the ability to complete difficult tasks.The school day starts early, which means that pupils don’t always get enough sleep because there’s no chance to have a lie-in. Adding naptime during the school day would help exhausted pupils to make up for any sleep they’ve lost from getting up so early.There are long-term benefits to taking a short nap, too. According to a recent study from University College London, the brains of people who have regular naps are bigger than those who don’t. People’s brains naturally shrink when they grow old, and the results showed that little sleeps can help people’s brains to age more slowly.Although a nap can seem like a good idea, going to sleep for too long can actually make you feel worse. It’s not very pleasant to wake up from a daytime nap feeling confused and sleepy. Napping during the day can also have a negative impact on how well you sleep at night. This can create a cycle of not being able to sleep as well at night, leaving you feeling even more tired in the daytime. Sleep expert Dr Clete Kushida said, “It’s generally recommended to maximize sleep at night.”Another consideration is that there really isn’t time in the school day for pupils to go to sleep. Some parents and teachers are concerned that it would cause children to miss too much lesson time. Pupils might take advantage of the system and use their need for a nap as an excuse to get out of lessons.So, what do you think? Should school allow kids to have naps, or should you wait until the evening to catch up on your sleep?43.It can be inferred from the passage that ________.A.children need more naps than adults doB.naps improve memory, efficiency and beautyC.both children and adults are equally in need of napsD.naps can bring more benefits to children than to adults44.According to the passage, napping for too long is not advisable because ________.A.it may affect a healthier cycle of sleepB.school kids will feel too sleepy to wake upC.it can’t make up for the sleep lost from waking up earlyD.it extends the school day for kids to have enough lessons45.Which of the following statements can be learned about taking naps according to the passage?A.It’s better for babies to have as many daytime naps as possible.B.Regular naps can slow the rate at which brains shrink with age.C.There’s no need to guarantee night sleep if one has regular naps.D.Different from teachers, parents want their kids to have naptimes.46.Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?A.Should Schools Have Naptimes?B.How Could Naptimes Benefit Kids?C.Are Kids Losing Too Much Sleep?D.Do You Get Enough Daytime Sleep?If you’ve ever seen a river rushing down a mountain or played in breaking waves at the beach, you’ll know that moving water contains a lot of energy. A river can push you and your boat downstream, sometimes quickly, and waves crashing into you at the beach can knock you back, or even knock you over.This energy of moving water originates from the water cycle, where water evaporates or is released from plants, rises to higher sea level, cools, and changes into liquid, forming clouds. Rain or snow that falls from these clouds flows downhill due to gravity, forming rivers or melting into existing water paths.Hydropower (水电) uses this energy from flowing water. It uses turbines, which are turned by moving water. These turbines turn around a rotor inside a device called generator, turning the motion into electricity with the help of magnets.There are two primary types of hydropower facilities (设施). The first is called the run-of-the-river facilities, which channel river water through turbines. The electricity production follows the timing of the river flow. When a river is running full with lots ofspring rain or meltwater, the turbine can produce more electricity. Later in the summer, when the river flow decreases, so does the turbine’s output. These types of power stations are typically small and easy to build, but there is limited ability to control the amount of electricity they produce.The second type is the dam (大坝)-based facilities. These use a solid dam to hold back the flow of a river and create an artificial lake behind it. The dam operator releases water from his lake, which flows through pipes inside the dam. Turbines within the dam generate electricity as the water passes through them, and then the water flows out the other side. These facilities are usually large and can affect river habitats, but they can also produce a lot of electricity in a controllable manner.Hydropower depends on the availability of water in flowing rivers. As climate change affects the water cycle, some regions may have less rainfall and therefore less hydropower generation. Since hydropower is a form of renewable electricity, it can play a role in limiting climate change. Hydropower facilities can also help avoid any imbalance in electricity production from wind farms and solar power plants.47.The underlined word “evaporate” in paragraph 2 can be replaced by “________”A.form a circle B.turn into a gasC.fall to the ground D.change into liquid48.According to paragraph 3, which of the following words best fits the box with “?” in the picture of a hydropower setup?A.turbine B.magnet C.pipe D.rotor 49.What can we learn about the two basic types of hydropower facilities mentioned in the passage?A.Only dam-based facilities use water to generate electricity and they are easy toconstruct.B.Electricity production by the run-of-the-river facilities doesn’t vary with river flow.C.Dam-based facilities provide a more considerable and adjustable electricity supply.D.Run-of-the-river facilities have a larger impact on river habitats than dam-basedfacilities.50.What is the author’s attitude towards hydropower?A.Optimistic B.Critical C.Doubtful D.IndifferentKeeping a bit of the outdoors inside is nothing new, but houseplant collections have become a popular social media trend — which means that more people than ever are discovering the comfort and beauty that caring for plants brings.51 Exposure to greenery, whether you have indoor plants, take walks outside or tend to a garden, has been found to have multiple mental-health benefits, such as lowering stress, decreasing feelings of depression, increasing sociability, restoring focus, improving cognitive performance, improving mood and increasing self-esteem.“One study showed that patients at a hospital who had plants in their room reported less pain, lower blood pressure, less fatigue and less anxiety than patients without plants in their rooms,” says Jenny Seham, a New York-based psychologist. She explains: “Cortisol, the stress hormone, has been shown to lower with plant interaction, reducing fatigue, irritability (易怒) and blood pressure.”Research has also shown that having plants and gardening increase productivity and levels of serotonin, the neurotransmitter responsible for lifting our mood. 52 And it is also opposed to dwelling on the past or worrying about the future.Before you fill your space with greenery, consider how you’ll interact with your plants.53 Can you care for them daily?If you have a small space or aren’t sure how much time you’re willing to invest in “plant parenting.” Start slow. “ 54 It can engage you by its smell or colour, creating a positive mood response with every interaction,” says Seham.A.For instance, is there enough space for plants in areas where you spend a lot of time?B.Half the fun of gardening is that you never know exactly what’s going to come up.C.It’s a feel-good hobby that’s supported by science.D.While indoor gardening can boost your feelings of wellbeing, help reduce stress and promote relaxation, it’s not, of course, a substitute for a trained mental health professional.E.The theory is that plant care helps us focus on the present moment and provides a feeling of accomplishment.F.Just one plant can make a difference.六、完成句子七、翻译60.应该采取积极措施来防止疾病蔓延。

The company has been one of the world's most popular toy-makers and last year saw its fastest sales growth in five years. The "dream job" in Denmark led to the opportunity to be a judge on a TV show in the US.As a child growing up in a village near Glasgow, she never dreamed of being a fashion designer or a toy designer.She was not a Lego fan as a child. "I played with Lego with my brother when we were kids, "she said. "When we were really little, we had the big box of bricks (积木). But as I got a little bit older, I Lego. I felt there wasn't anything interesting for me. ""It wasn't until I joined the company that I really got back into it. But we take that into account and think how we can create Lego experiences for kids, adults, and everyone over the world, so that everyone can find something that is related to them. Every time I got a project, I would always change it to something fun, playful and creative. I always loved being creative and also really loved maths."And her advice to new Lego designers was to get building. "Creativity is the key and being hands-on with the bricks," she said. "Whenever you can get ideas out, just do it. Whenever you can get your hands on the bricks, build, build, build.""And if you are picking your education, I think certainly pick something that is based on design.

In Ethiopia's Somali area, people have seen the failures of what should have been three straight rainy seasons. Droughts do come and go over the years. However, the lack of rainfall has led to the driest conditions in 40 years in parts of Somalia and Ethiopia.UNICEF is the United Nation's children's agency. Local Zaynab Wali told a visiting team with UNICEF that she and her seven children had never seen a drought like this. She said the government gave out food for animals during the last drought five years ago. "This time, we even don't have enough food for our family."Children walk among the bodies of dead animals, which died from lack of food and energy. Somalia Consortium works to improve international aid for Somalia. It said in a separate statement that in Somalia, more than 7 million people need emergency help. It is asking international organizations to give much more to the country."We are just one month into the long dry season, and I have already lost 25 goats and sheep, "Hafsa Bedel in Ethiopia's Somali area told UNICEF. She also lost four camels, a large desert animal, as well. She said there was nowhere for her animals to eat. She added that there was not enough food for her own family, including her six children.UNICEF thinks that more than 150, 000 children in such areas of Ethiopia have dropped out of school. They are needed to help find the limited amount of water and help their families with other work.One young boy was seen supporting an animal, a donkey. The donkey was once important for carrying goods. But now, it had become too weak to walk on its own.8.Why did Zaynab Wali mention the last drought?A.To show the need to protect animals.B.To express her disappointment this time.C.To prove the high frequency of drought.D.To praise the government for its timely help.9.What is Somalia Consortium trying to do now?A.Get more foreign help.B.Warn people of the risk of drought.C.Offer more education to the children there.D.Make clear the number of people in need.10.What does the last paragraph mainly want to tell us?A.The sweet picture of the boy and the animal.B.The functions of animals in farming.C.The importance of taking care of the weak animal.D.The seriousness of the drought.11.Which is the most suitable title for the text?A.Drought in Eastern Africa Leaves Animals in DangerB.Drought Makes People of Eastern Africa Leave Their HomeC.UN Officials Care for Children Affected by DroughtD.Millions Face Risk as Drought Affects Eastern Africa阅读理解When you visit Kinderdijk, one of the most visited villages in the Netherlands, you step right into the middle of Dutch history.Kinderdijk lies in the Alblasserwaard, where the Lek and Noord rivers meet together. Much of the village is near or even below sea level. Although there are canals and dykes (堤坝), the lowlands of the village are still at risk of flooding (洪灾). Among the most deadly floods was Saint Elisabeth's flood in 1421, which killed thousands after the dykes broke in several places. To deal with this kind of problem, the Kinderdijk windmills (风车) were built around 1740 to move water from the lower areas to higher ground and into the river.Nineteen of the 20 Kinderdijk windmills remain and were named a UNESCO World Heritage (遗产) Site in 1997. Of the 19 windmills, 16 still have millers who live inside and control the huge sails (翼板) in the wind. These windmills continue to help manage the Netherlands ongoing fight to stay above water.For tourists, boat tours are offered along the canals and walkways lead from the visitor center to the windmills. Two windmills serve as museums, filled with old millers' items and photos. You can climb up inside to see how the windmills work. The windmills also are working, so be prepared to feel the whole building shake when the sails turn in the wind.Each year, about 500, 000 people visit the Kinderdijk windmills and the buildings have become a must-see on any trip to the Netherlands. There are some windmills north of Amsterdam that "were built for tourists, but we're a historical site where tourists come, so it's the other way around," says Kinderdijk communications manager Peter Paul Klapwijk. "Tourism is a good way to support our site."12.Why were the Kinderdijk windmills built around 1740?A.To protect dykes.B.To produce clean water.C.To prevent floods.D.To keep the sea level from rising.13.What can we learn about Kinderdijk windmills?A.Most of them are working as before.B.Most of them have become museums.C.Several of them have been sold to millers.D.Several of them were destroyed long ago.14.How does Peter Paul Klapwijk feel about so many tourists visiting the windmills?A.Fearful.B.Worried.C.Excited.D.Surprised.15.What does the text mainly introduce?A.The history of Kinderdijk B.A famous historical siteC.An amazing village of canals D.The traditions of the Netherlands二、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。

AWhen I was six, Dad brought home a dog one day, who was called “Brownie”. My brothers and I all loved Brownie and did different things with her. One of us would walk her, another would feed her, then there were baths, playing catch and many other games, Brownie, in return. loved each and every one of us. One thing that most touched my heart was that she would go to whoever was sick and just be with them. We always felt better when she was around.One day, as I was getting her food, she chewed up(咬破)one of Dad’s shoes, whichhad to be thrown away in the end. I knew Dad would be mad and I had to let her know what she did was wrong. When I looked at her and said, ”Bad girl.”she looked down at the ground and then went and hid. I saw a tear in her eyes.Brownie turned out to be more than just our family pet, she went everywhere with us .People would stop and ask if they could pet her. Of course she’d let anyone pet her. She was just the most lovable dog. There were many times when we’d be out walking and a small child would come over and pull her hair. she never barked(吠) or tried to get away. Funny thing is she would smile. This frightened people because they thought she was showing her teeth. Far from the truth, she loved everyone.Now many years have passed since Brownie died of old age. I still miss days when she was with us.21. What would Brownie do when someone was ill in the family?A. Look at them sadly.B. Touch them gently.C. Play games with them.D. Keep them company.22. We can infer from Paragraph 2 that Brownie__________.A. world eat anything when hungryB. disliked the author’s dadC. loved playing hide-and-seekD. felt sorry for her mistake23. Some people got frightened by Brownie when she__________.A. barkedB. smiledC. rushed to themD. tried to be funny24.Which of the following best describes Brownie?A. CaringB. PoliteC. BraveD. ShyBI was never particularly kind to my grandfather. I remember him coming into the sitting room o ne night, and when he went to sit down, I said to my brother, “I hope he doesn’t sit down.” Iwas 12 years old then.My grandfather wrote poetry(诗) on great rolls of thin white paper with a paintbrush, but over the years I wouldn’t listento him read his poe ms. I’d let my Chinese go by then, which made listening to him too much of an effort.On Monday, he’d be sitting at Dragon Boat Restaurant with other old Chinese men. Tuesdays to Friday, he was at a small square table by himself with a pot of tea andthe Chinese newspaper. But he was diagnosed (诊断) with brain cancer and, three months later, he died.At the funeral(葬礼), my sadness was overshadowed by a sense of regret. I’d rejected my grandfather the commonest of kindness. I was 16 years old.I am now 26. A few weeks ago, during a family dinner at a Chinese restaurant, the waiter complimented (恭维)my mum on my speaking to her in Chinese, saying with a sigh that his own kids could hardly speak a Chinese sentence. Mom told him I had stopped speaking Chinese for some years and then had suddenly started up again in my late teens.I have often wondered if my mum knows the connection between Granddad’s deathand my ever-improving Chinese. Whenever I am stuck for a word, I ask her. Whenever I am with her, or relatives, I practise. Now I am confident that the next time an elderly relative wants me tolisten to them, I am not only willing, I am able. In fact, the more I learn, the more interest I have in the fantastic Chinese culture. The learning process seems to me a journey to rediscover my roots.25.What can we know about the author’s grandfather?A. He struggled to be a poet.B. He kept little tradition of his motherland.C. He had deep love for Chinese Tradition.D. He went out to meet his friends every day.26.Why d id the author feel regretful at her grandpa’s funeral?A. She hadn’t showed enough love to him.B. She failed to cure him timely.C. She could speak little Chinese.D. She could no longer learn Chinese from him.27.What can we conclude about the author from the passage?A. She went all out to understand her grandpa’s wordsB. Her young relatives are eager to learn Chinese.C. Her mother urged her to speak Chinese.D. She came to love Chinese culture.CThe US company iRobot made a new kind of sub-marine (潜水艇), called the Seaglider, last week.The robotic submarine is about 1.8 meters long and weighs about 52 kilograms. It moves through water at a speed of up to 20-25 kilo-meters a day and can stay at sea for up to six months before needing a battery recharged. This special character results from its special propulsion system (动力系统). Unlike a traditional submarine, the Seaglider does not have a propeller (螺旋桨). It has an air tank that is emptied and filled to adjust (调整) depth, as well as a pair of wings that help to guide and lead the submarine.A traditional submarine, on the other hand, “puts water inside tanks to make it heavier, or it will expel (排出) the water to make it lighter,” explained Frederick, a professor at the University of Washington.Each time the Seaglider comes to the surface, it sends the data which it collects to its controllers by satellite. Operators can also send the submarine new information. For example, they can change its course in their office through giving the computer orders.Seagliders are already being used for scientific research, such as environmental studies. iRobot also hopes to sell the submarine to the army.“These things can go out there and keep an eye on large areas of ocean. They can go for thousands of miles on their own. At the same time, you can tell them to stay in one place and they can circle,” says Helen Greiner, chairwoman of iRobot. “This is science fiction(小说) stuff in many ways, but it’s really out there and working.”28. Unlike a traditional submarine, the Seaglider _____.A. is only 1.8 meters long and weighs 52 kilogramsB. has an air tank to adjust depth instead of a propellerC. can travel at a speed of 150 kilomet ers a dayD. can be used to do environmental research29. When the Seaglider comes to the surface, it will _____.A. change its batteryB. force out a lot of waterC. send the data to its controllersD. stay in one place30. Nowadays, the Seaglider is being used only _____.A. by the armyB. in scientific researchC. by the governmentD. in science fi ction31. It can be inferred from the passage that the Seaglider _____.A. is not driven by a human beingB. doesn’t need a battery rechargedC. doesn’t have a long lifeD. can change its course itselfDJust a couple of hours ago, I was on the plane, ready to fly home from London. The flighthad been delayed by a few hours so it felt good to be so close to take off.I had my iPod inplace and a new book to read. Then, over the loudspeaker(广播)came the pilot’s voice: “The groundcrew has found a metal instrument in one tire. We regret that we must cancel this flight.”The passengers’ re sponses that announcement led to were interesting. One man close tome began to argue with a flight attendant. A couple in another row complained loudly. Abusinessman in a black suit actually kicked the seat in front of him. Yet some passengers responded differently. An elderly gentleman smiled as he helped others take their bags down from th e ove rhead compartments (行李厢). A teenager, rather than trying to rush off the plane like most of the other passengers, stopped to help a woman with a disability. The lady sittingnext to me laughed and said: “Hey, it’s not the end of the world,” before she made a call to herkids and shared her adventure with them. The wisest among us have a remarkable ability toma intain grounded when times get tough.No life is perfect; mine certainly isn’t. We all must face challenges, both large and small.You and I have the power to choose to rise above the external circumstances. We always havethe choice to be strong and kind when things fall apart.That’s grace under pressure. My seatmate was right—things could have been so muchworse. Anyway, I am safe. I have my health. I have two wonderful children. I have work Ilove and so much to be grateful for. Sure I now have to wait a few hoursto catch the nextflight home.32. What caused the passengers’ different re sponses?A. The loudspeaker.B. The delay of the flight.C. The ground crew’s fault.D. The pilot’s announcement.33. Who turned his anger on the seat?A. The teenager helping the disabled.B. The old man taking bags down.C. The man in a dark suit.D. The man close to me.34. What did the woman sitting next to the author do?A.
