need of a pick-me-up.Best of all,each one of the tens of thousands of bouquets that What Cheer grows and delivers are completely free of charge."We want to blanket the state with flowers and create happiness and joy,"says Erin Achenbach,What Cheer's farmer and head florist.What Cheer regularly delivers joy to people at local hospitals,food banks,senior centers, recovery centers and more-including AIDS Care Ocean State,which provides support to those affected by HIV.“Seeing the smiles on people's faces who weren't expecting it--who just came in to have a meeting with their case manager or take advantage of one of our programs--to just see this glow come off their faces is great,”says Stephen Hogan Jr.from AIDS Care Ocean State.Located in Providence’s industrial Olneyville neighborhood,What Cheer's flower beds lie on2.7acres that once housed a knife factory.And it's safe to say that the What Cheer crew is deserving of some flowers of their own:In May,the nonprofit was awarded a record-high$500,000grant from the Environmental Protection Agency for its continued revival of a land once abandoned because of industrial pollution."Not only do we give this space back to the neighborhood by bringing life to space that's quite literally dead,"says Achenbach,“but we're an eco-landing spot with the ability to help local insect and bird populations,and that'll only make people's lives better.”What cheer, indeed!“What's good about a flower is that it doesn't need anything else,"she adds.“Your only job when someone gives you flowers is to enjoy them.”4.What was the original purpose of What Cheer?A.To donate money to those in need.B.To present people with flowers for free.C.To protect the surrounding environment,D.To develop new flowers and distribute them.5.Why could What Cheer obtain a high grant?A.It ranked as the local largest flower bed.B.It helped patients recover from illnesses.C.It delivered remarkable joy to local people.D.It was transformed into an eco-friendly area.6.What can be inferred from Achenbach?A.The success of What Cheer can't be copied.B.What Cheer improves the well-being of locals,C.What Cheer attempts to return the land to locals.D.Enjoying flowers should be advocated every day.7.Which of the following does the experience of What Cheer convey?A.Still water runs deep.B.Think twice before acting.C.God help those who help themselves.D.The roses in her hand;the flavor in mine.CA new form of real estate is popping up along the beaches of South Africa,which are just big enough to fit a family of African penguins.Their unique selling point:a safe and cool place for penguins to breed(繁殖).Historically,the penguins dug holes in layers of guano(鸟粪),but in the19th century, traders started selling guano as fertilizer,leaving the penguins and their eggs increasingly exposed to predators(捕食者)and the burning sun.This has caused African penguin populations to decrease.That's why conservationists have come to the rescue with the African Penguin Nest Project(APNP),which aims to employ artificial nests to provide penguin parents a safe and shaded place to raise their chicks.While guano trade petered out by the late1800s,recreating the layers that accumulated over thousands of years isn't an option,because seabird populations have declined so much over time and it would take around600years to produce one usable guano layer.Hence,the project decided to build artificial nests.At first glance,they look fairly simple--a domed structure made from two molded shells of fabric coated in ceramic slurry(陶瓷浆料),with a small entrance measuring about20centimeters wide.Getting the right temperature and dampness inside the nest was the toughest and most crucial part.The two-layer design and ventilation holes(通风孔)create an air conditioning effect, while the white paint reflects the sun,helping to maintain an interior temperature of less than35 degrees Celsius.The project started to use the nests in late2018.“Within a matter of minutes,penguins were running into them,”says Graham,coordinator of APNP.“That tells you how desperate they are for any opportunity to find a safe place to nest.However,population recovery relies on more than merely giving African penguins a safe place to breed.It’s not simply a case of‘we give them a nest,the species are saved’.There has to be more.”8.What do we know about artificial nests?A.They function better than natural nests.B.They are designed and built scientifically.C.They are unique attractions of South Africa.D.They are equipped with mini air-conditioners.9.What is the goal of APNP?A.To raise money to preserve penguins.B.To promote the sale of artificial nests.C.To help penguins fight against diseases.D.To provide habitable shelters for penguins.10.What does the underlined phrase“petered out”in Paragraph3probably mean?A.turned upB.dried outC.faded awayD.fell apart11.Which of the following statements might Graham agree with?A.Penguins breed more chicks in safer places.B.Various conservation efforts need be combined.C.Artificial nests have achieved the desired effect.D.Artificial nests should be applied to other species.DWhen Spanish meets English,new dialects emerge,giving us real-time insight into language evolution,linguists say.For instance,“Vamos de punches punches punches",Yamilet Munoz texted her friends in Austin,Texas.It means“let's go and party",but it’s not a phrase you'll find in any dictionary.It's a remix of Spanish and English words seasoned with an in-joke about punching the air as you dance.“Our language has always been a very big indicator of our cultural pride,"says Munoz, whose parents migrated from Mexico to San Antonio,Texas,in the1990s.Around66%of the city's population identify as Hispanic or Latino/Latina.For Munoz and her friends there is pride in speaking Spanish,but also in mixing the languages into the hybrid known as Spanglish.The evolution of Spanglish has been documented for decades,with each generation adding its unique twist.Now a growing body of research,as well as the experiences of bilingual(双语的)speakers like Munoz,shows just how deeply English and Spanish are influencing each other in the United States,resulting in hybrid dialects like Spanglish,but also, transforming the underlying languages,For the past decade,Carter and his colleagues have studied language change in Miami,a city where some72%identify as Latino or Hispanic and which is strongly shaped by historical migration from Cuba.Their research documents the emergence of a distinct“Miami English”dialect as a result of that Spanish-language heritage.The Spanish influence has also shown up in ways people may not immediately notice, such as sounds like the“oo”in“boot”being pronounced in a more Spanish-style way in Miami, more like the Spanish“u”vowel,according to separate research by Carter,Lydda Lopez Valdez at the University of Miami and Nandi Sims at Ohio State University.“This is the work of language change,this is the work of dialect formation,this is how it happens.It happens in things that are really noticeable,like the phrase‘get down from the car', but it also happens in really slight ways,"he says.12.Why is an example introduced in Paragraph2?A.To illustrate the language innovation.B.To explain the advantage of Spanish.C.To highlight the mix of Spanish and English.D.To prove the enrichment of English vocabulary.13.What can be inferred from Munoz and her friends?A.Spanish and English are interrelating.B.Mixing two languages is complicated.nguages dominate cultural development.D.Bilingualists tend to observe their own culture.14.What does Carter intend to convey?A.Dialects evolve flexibly and frequently.B.Spanish possesses more sounds than English.C.Phrases are changing more slowly than before.nguage change is progressive and dynamic.15.Which of the following is the best title for the text?A.How Researchers are Studying Languages.B.How Modem English is Changing Globally.C.How a Generation is Reinventing Spanglish.D.How Spanglish is Influencing American Culture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人空白处的最佳选项。

AThe Book HiveNorwichAs well as being a favourite of celebrities,this is a front-runner for the nation's prettiest bookshop,with an expansive glass shopfront and colourful art decorating the walls.It's home to thousands of hand-selected titles,with an especially impressive art-and-design collection. Owner Henry Layte says,"The Book Hive is like an old-fashioned bookshop,but it's also contemporary, stylish and fun!"Mr B's Reading Emporium BathA huge part of the charm（魅力）of this place is MrB himself-a former bank trader who gave it all up in 2006 to share his passion for the written word. His enthusiasm must be infectious because his staff are similarly cheerful,handwriting personal notes to the overflowing shelves.“You can drop in anytime,” says one employee."And we pride ourselves on championing lesser-known tiles."Barter BooksNorthumberlandUnder the roof of the Victorian Station lie the free-standing bookshelves,homely carpets and open fires that make up Barter Books.In addition to the thousands of second-hand titles in this bookstore,there are more than 40 glass cases housing rare books.Visitors can also see the Writers Mural-life-size literary figures painted high up on the walls. See if you can spot Charlotte Bronte and Charles Dickens.Much More BooksShropshireSituated in the market town Much Wen lock，Much More Books is the epitome（缩影）of an antiquarian shop.Most surprisingly,historic buildings,an inclusive and well-thumbed collection, and even a book-finder service combine to make you feel as if you've stepped back a few centuries.Every type is covered,with lots of local-interest titles thrown in.You can even add to your music collection with their selection of vinyls and CDs.1.What do The Book Hive and Barter Books have in common?A.They provide second-hand books.B.They are decorated like homes.C.They have art works on their walls.D.They are favored by big figures.2.What will impress you most when you enter Much More Books?A.The music CD.B.The ancient style.C.The rare antique.D.The dynamic staff.3.What is the text？A.An advertisement for books.B.A collection of book reviews.C.An introduction to well-known writers.D.A recommendation for famous bookshops.BMichael Gonsalves,a chef of Golden Oak at Disney World,has a cuisine concept rooted in fresh,locally-sourced ingredients that originated from childhood harvesting produce from their family garden with his mom to eventually leading kitchens at Walt Disney World Resorts to employ a sustainable model."Truly the whole process starts with menu planning,"he said.Creating one dish leads into the creation of many more through the end-to-end use of products. As chefs, they are always searching for the best ingredients. It is then their focus to ensure they appreciate and respect all that go into each and every one of them.For example,they source chicken that is naturally grown and fed on a natural plant forward diet，no hormones（激素）or additives-that's used in many ways throughout menus from a simple grilled chicken breast to bone soup. Nothing goes to waste.When they do have waste,even if minimal,they shift it from landfills to transform it into compost（堆肥）that's then used across the Walt Disney World property.They also support Second Harvest, a local community food bank where healthy produce,prepared,but not served, meals eatable for human consumption are donated.Disney also works with pig farmers when they can't distribute foods past the point of safety for human consumption. Besides, wildlife reservations love to get the meat because tigers and wild cats can still eat that.Their operations are“on a path to a sustainable zero waste kitchen of tomorrow"where chefs learn the full-life cycle of plants from seed to plate and gain a better understanding and appreciation for the product and their craft.Golden Oak at Disney has millions of bees that produce up to 300 pounds of honey per year，plus those bees help with cross pollination（授粉）of their gardens on a daily basis.They advocatea culture that helps develop not only the quality of food,but an appreciation for nature.4.Where did Michael Gonsalves' idea about cuisine come from?A. His mom's suggestions.B.His dream of becoming a chef.C.His interest in delicious food.D.His labor experience as a child.5.How are the ingredients dealt with in Golden Oak?A.They are grilled to eat.B.They are used to the fullestC.They are divided into groups.D.They are selected by quality.6.What does the author intend to do in paragraph 3?A.Give examples about zero waste.B.Introduce the unique habit of wildlife.C.Stress the importance of natural food.D.Explain the operation mode of the food bank.7.Which of the following is a suitable title for the lext?A.Disney World:New Cuisine RoadB.Michael Gonsalves:Creative ChefC.Michael Gonsalves:Advocate of Food DiversityD.Disney World:Pioncer in Environmental ProtectionCAs winter arrives,the problem of fogged-up car windscreens becomes more pressing for drivers.Anti-misting sprays（喷雾剂）are one way lo deal with such fogging. But they need frequent reapplication. Another approach is to fix within the thing to be demisted a set of electrically powered heating wires. But because of the visual distraction（分心）created，that doesn't work for a car's front windscreen.Iran Hachler and Dimos Poulikakos of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich have,however,come up with another way of warming something up to stop fog forming.Their new material is a coating ten nanometres（纳米）thick.It is flexible，easily made using existing processes,and can be applied as a coating to glass or plastic,or inset inside such materials.Its demisting properties are powered by sunlight.In effect，it is a gold sandwich.The“bread”of this sandwich is a pair of layers（层），top and bottom,of a chemical material,each three nanometres thick.The filling is a four-nanometre deep golden material. The whole structure lets visible light pass unlimited,while absorbing invisible lights and transforming them into heat.It is the filling that warms the glass. Gold acts as a medium in the heating process.The network will now absorb heat if left in the sunshine.The top and bottom layers boost that absorption.Glass coated with Mr Hachler's and Dr Poulikakos's invention is,they claim,four times more effective at preventing fog than an uncounted surface. It absorbs around 30% of solar radiation incident upon it-which,on a sunny day,increases the temperature of what it is applied to by around 8°C.On a cloudy day,that temperature rise is closer to 3-4°C.But in either case the enhancement is sufficient both to remove any fog that has formed and to prevent new fog forming.The next step,Mr Hachler says,is to find the product's best market.Even though gold is used,the cost of adding this extra one is low.For the two inventors,though,the idea might prove a gold mine.8.What is the disadvantage of anti-misting sprays?A.They have no lasting effect.B.They damage the windscreens.C.They turn the drivers' attention away.D.They are constantly powered by electricity.9.What is the function of the center layer?A.To save up heat.B.To protect the gold.C.To produce electricity.D.To heat the windscreens.10.What can be inferred about the invention from paragraph 4?A.It is useless on cloudy days.B.It is unable to work at night.C.Coated glass absorbs the visible lights.D.Uncoated glass lowers the temperature by 8°C.11.What does the author think of the new invention?A.It is very costly.B.It hits the market well.C.It is highly profitable.D.It needs further improvement.D"Adolescent chimpanzees（黑猩猩）are in some sense facing the same psychological characteristics that human teens are,"said Alexandra Rosati,a professor at the University of Michigan."Our findings show that several key features of human adolescent psychology are also seen in our closest primate relatives."The researchers conducted two tests involving food rewards with 40 wild-born chimpanzees in Republic of Congo.The chimpanzees voluntarily participated in the games to receive food treats.Chimpanzees experience adolescence at about 8 to 15.Like humans,chimpanzees show rapid changes in hormone levels during adolescence,start forming new bonds with companions, show increases in aggression and compete for social status.In the first test,adolescent and adult chimpanzees could choose between two containers in a gambling（投机）task.One container always contained peanuts，a food that chimpanzees somewhat like.Hidden in the other one was either an unlined food-a cucumber slice-or a favorite food-a banana slice.The chimpanzees could play it safe and get the peanuts,or take a chance for some greatly desired banana at the risk of ending up with unappetizing cucumber. The chimpanzees' emotional reactions were recorded,including angers,screams,or sticking on the table.During several rounds of the test,adolescent chimpanzees took the risky option more often than adult chimpanzees,but adolescents and adults had similar negative reactions when they received cucumber.The second lest,modeled after the famous"marshmallow test"with human children,examined delayed satisfaction where chimpanzees could receive one banana slice immediately or wait for one minute to receive three slices.Both adolescent and adult chimpanzees chose the greater delayed reward at a similar rate. Human teens lend to be more impulsive（冲动）than adults so they would be more likely to take the immediate reward."Prior research indicates that chimpanzees are quite patient compared with other animals, and our study shows that their ability to delay satisfaction is already mature at a fairly young age, unlike in humans,"Rosati said.Risk-taking behavior in both adolescent chimpanzees and humans appears to be deeply biologically rooted,but increases in impulsive behavior may be specific to human teens.12.What does the first test aim to find out about chimpanzees?A.Their problems of emotions.B.The signs of aggression.C.Their sense of adventure.D.The change in hormone levels.13.What does the underlined expression“play it safe”in paragraph 4 mean？A.Give it a try.B.Take an action.C.Play with fire.D.Avoid taking risks.14.How might chimpanzees feel after getting the cucumber in the experiment?A.Puzzled.B.Delighted.C.Disappointed.D.Surprised.15.What is the finding of the second test?A.The chimpanzees prefer bananas to any other reward.B.Human adolescents tend to enjoy the instant satisfaction.C.Human teens' ability to delay satisfaction develops better.D.The chimpanzees are impatient to wait for delayed rewards.第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Now she completed visiting every UN nation in the world, all 193, in November 2023.“When I went to the movies, I saw this beautiful background about the scenery, the nature, the rivers, the mountains, and that fascinated me,” Yu said. “That’s why I always thought someday I will go to these places and travel.At 23, as an exchange student studying medical technologies in the US, Yu decided that she wanted to visit all of the countries in the world, but visa restrictions didn’t allow her to travel outside of the country. She decided to explore the US via Greyhound buses. She saved her vacation time from working at Miami, Florida hospitals and was able to take long trips across the US. There are only two states that Yu has yet to visit—Kentucky and Oklahoma.It took Yu 15 years to get her green card that would allow her to travel internationally and there were times that she worked three jobs to save money to travel. The Miami resident eventually took a part-time job as a travel agent, which gave her many more opportunities to travel to new places around the globe.In the past 50 years, Yu has been visiting countries across the world, even some that are very tough to get into. She has tried several kinds of meat when she visited North Korea, explored the beaches of Somalia, and even skydived in Dubai when she was 73.Yu’s advice to people who are fond of traveling is to just do it. She said, “Don’t wait for anybody. IfI keep on waiting, it will ne ver happen, because the opportunity sometimes comes only once.”4. What inspired Luisa Yu to travel?A．Reading books. B．Watching movies.C．Friends’ suggestions.D．Work experience.5. Why did Yu fail to travel abroad in her 20s?A．Because of visa limits. B．Because of tight finances.C．Because of short holidays. D．Because of safety problems.6. In which place did Yu skydive?A．Dubai. B．Miami. C．Somalia. D．North Korea. 7. What does Yu advise people to do?A．Apply for the travel visa in advance.B．Try various jobs to get colorful experiences.C．Look for friends with shared interest in travel.D．Catch every chance to do what they want to do.Tobacco ruins lives, leading to over 400,000 hospital admissions a year, and ultimately kills two in three lifetime smokers.Over the coming weeks, MPs (议员) will debate new laws to create a “smoke-free generation”, meaning no one born on or after 1 January, 2009, can be legally sold a cigarette. This is a truly transformative piece of public health policy that could see an end to tobacco use in England.The policy will see the legal age for being sold tobacco rise by one year each year from 2027. While the proposed age increase approach is novel, we know that raising the age of purchasing works. Smoking rates dropped by 30 per cent among young people within a year when the legal age increased from 16 to 18 in 2007. The drop was closer to 40 per cent among the target age group when it was raised from 18 to 21 in the US.There are concerns among some that the new policy could drive an illegal market, but the evidence doesn’t back this up.Since 2000 the illegal market for tobacco has declined from 22 per cent to 11 per cent despite raising the age of purchasing to 18, banning smoking in public places, introducing plain packaging, and continued price rises. Furthermore, the focus of the policy is to prevent people taking up smoking —no one who can currently buy tobacco will be unable to do so — making it unlikely there will be an increased demand for illegal tobacco.Online sales may also present their own difficulty as the new policy comes into force, with digital retailers (零售商) having responsibility to check on the age of customers remotely. The government is promising “enhancing online age verification (验证)” but it w ould be far simpler to ban online tobacco sales altogether, as recommended in a recent independent government review.8. Who will be restricted by the new policy?A．Heavy smokers. B．Cigarette sellers.C．The tobacco growers. D．The tobacco advertisers.9. What is mainly talked about in paragraph 3?A．The benefit of the policy. B．The novelty of the policy.C．The target people of the policy. D．The content of the policy.10. What do some people worry about?A．The price of tobacco will go up. B．More people will pick up smoking.C．The tax from tobacco may decrease. D．The illegal tobacco markets will boom. 11. What will happen to online tobacco sales with the new policy in effect?A．It will encounter resistance. B．It will face a new challenge.C．It will have simplified process. D．It will make more profits.Around and around they go — dogs are often seen chasing (追逐) their tails. There are several possible reasons for this behavior, as well as ways to thwart it.Puppies and younger dogs may simply chase their own tails for fun. Puppies, especially, may not yet realize their tails are actually part of their own bodies.Boredom may be another reason, especially when dogs are left alone for a long time. “Anytime a dog is not enriched or exercised fully, they have the potential to be bored,” Russell Hartstein, a dog behavioral consultant said. For these dogs, a simple solution may be to play fetch or take a walk. Most dogs would rather chase a ball than their own tails.Another reason dogs may chase their tails is to seek attention. A dog’s owner may have rewarded this behavior by laughing or praising it. Even blaming a dog for tail chasing may draw attention that enhances this behavior. To control tail chasing, ignore the behavior while otherwise supplying the dog with a healthy amount of attention.Unluckily, a number of physical diseases are linked with tail chasing. An injury to the tail, itching; or reaction to some food may cause dogs to bite or chase their tails. If dogs suddenly start chasing or biting their tails, the owners should schedule a visit with their vet.“Interestingly, we found that dogs that received dietary supplements (补充剂), especially vitamins and minerals, expressed less tail chasing compared to dogs that did not receive any supplements,” Hart stein said. “In addition, compared with dogs that didn’t chase their tails, tail chasers were often shyer and had separated earlier from their mothers.”If a dog is otherwise healthy, “practicing dog training and engaging their mental and emotional aspects of their lives will help stop tail chasing,” Hartstein said. “There’s no harm in training more with your dog and making sure they are fulfilled and enriched in every way possible.”12. What does the underlined word “thwart” in paragraph 1 probably mean?A．Punish. B．Record. C．Convey. D．Handle.13. What can be learned about dog’s chasing its tail from Para.5?A．It is a normal scene for fun. B．It is an indication of lacking exercise.C．It is a sign of a problem. D．It is a behavior of seeking attention. 14. What may be Hartstein’s suggestion?A．Practicing dog training at the vet’s.B．Encouraging dogs to chase tails to relax.C．Giving dogs a small number of vitamins. D．Getting puppies independent as early aspossible.15. What can be the best title for the text?A．Why Do Dogs Chase Their Tails? B．Can Dogs Communicate by Tails?C．What Functions Do Dog Tails Have? D．Does Every Dog Like Chasing Its Tail?A few useful sketching (素描) tips can often generate rewarding results. If you are a beginner, you should find something useful from the tips below.Know your pencils. Having the right pencil to begin drawing your pencil sketch is one of the most essential sketching tips. Pencils differ in lead (铅笔芯). 16 : “B” pencil s are softer, “H” are harder,and “HB” sit s in the middle. It is recommended to start somewhere on the H scale as a foundation and then finish with the darker B scale.17 . If you position your hand closer to the end of the pencil, you have more control and precision, but darker markings. Gripping (握) further up the pencil will give you less control and precision, but lighter markings.Vary your lines. Not all lines are equal. Small shifts in the width and darkness of your lines will create a dynamic drawing. 18 . However, with practice you will be able to create a variety of marks that work together to make an impressive image. Experiment with different pencil grades and with holding the pencil at different angles.Apply the 70/30 rule in your sketching. 19 ! The 70/30 rule helps you create effective compositions. The idea is that 30 per cent of your sketch is filled with the main focus and detail, and the remaining 70 per cent is filler. This less interesting area helps direct attention towards the main subject of your artwork.Try different mark-making methods. There are plenty of sketching tips and techniques to help you achieve different styles and effects. 20 .A crow (乌鸦) became rabbits’ friend. It all began when Andrew Silverwood heard of a helpless______ crow lying injured on a busy road. Without ______, Andrew decided to begin a crow rescue mission, knowing that the bird’s chance of survival was ______ i n such a busy street.Upon ______ the location, Andrew found the baby bird had fallen from his nest.

Grammar and VocabularySection ADirections: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word: for the other blanks. use one word that best fits each blank.Plants Scream in the Face of StressFor the first time, researchers appear to have evidence that like animals, those plants deprived of water or (21)__________(force)to endure bodily harm can let out their pain. The study. (22)_________ has yet to be published in a scientific Journal, adds another dimension to scientists(23)________ (grow)understanding of how plants detect and interact with their surroundings.In recent years, it has become very clear that plants are more sensitive than researchers (24)_________ (think). They respond when touched by insects and turn toward sources of light. “Plants are not just robotic stimulus-response devices,” said Frantisek Baluska of the University of Bonn in Germany. “They’re living organisms which have their own problems.”Actually making their suffering hearable, however, is another matter entirely.(25)________(test) that possibility, a team led by Itzhak Khait, a plant scientist at Tel Aviv University in Israel, placed microphones capable of detecting ultrasonic frequencies(超声波频率) four inches from tomato and tobacco plants. The researcher then either stopped watering them or cut their stems.Measuring in the range of 20 to 150 kilohertz (千赫) the researchers found that even happy healthy plants madethe occasional noise. But when cut, tobacco plants emitted (26)_________average of 15 sounds within an hour of being cut, (27)_________tomato plants produced 25 sounds.(28)_______researchers aren’t yet sure how plants produce these sounds, Khait and his colleagues proposed one possibility in their paper (29)____________as water travels through the plants' tubes, air bubbles will form and explode, producing small vibrations.All this “screaming” caused by stress wasn’t in a range detectable by human ears. But organisms that can hear ultrasonic frequencies like mice, bats or perhaps other plants (30)________possibly hear the plants cries from as far away as 15 feet.Section BDirections: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.Italians find “Moments of Joy in this Moment of Anxiety”It started with the national anthem. Then came the piano chords, trumpet blasts, violin serenades(小夜曲) and even the clanging of pots and pans--all of it (31)_________from people’s homes, out of windows and from balconies, and resounding across rooftops.Finally, on Saturday afternoon, a nationwide (32)__________of applause broke out for the doctors on the medical front lines fighting the spread of Europe’s worst coronavirus outbreak.Italians remain (33)_________under house arrest as the nation, the European front in the global fight against the coronavirus, has ordered extraordinary restrictions on their movement to prevent infection.But the music and noise erupting over the streets, from people (34)_________in their homes, reflects the spirit, resilience and humor of a nation facing its worst national emergency since the Second World War.To the extent that this is a virus that tries people' s souls, it has also demonstrated the (35)__________of those national characters.In China, patriotic truck drivers risked infection to bring(36)_________needed food to the people of Wuhan, the epicenter of the outbreak. In Iran, videos show doctors in full combat dress and masks dancing to keep (37)_______up. And in Italy, the gestures of gratitude and music ring out above the country’s empty streets, while social media feeds fill with (38)___________, sentimental and humorous web videos.Images of nurses collapsed from exhaustion or their faces bruised(使受瘀伤) from tightly(39)________maskshave also spread across the web in recent days. Parents posted pictures of unicorns and rainbows drawn by young children with the title “It will all be OK.”“We’re Italians, and loving singing is part of our culture,” said Giorgio Albertini, 51, an archaeology professor who clapped from his apartment balcony in the university district of Milan, calling it a way “to feel a community, and to have the (40)_________grief.”Ⅲ Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Making choices is hard. That would be why researcher Moran Cerf has (41)_________it from his life. As a rule, he always chooses the second menu item at a restaurant.This is (42)___________by his research in neuroeconomics(神经经济学)( a somewhat new, divisive field) at Northwestern University. As Business Insider describes, Cerf has extended his ideas which draw on some controversial ideas in psychology, including ego depletion out into a piece of advice that, to (43)_________happiness, people should "build a life that requires (44)________decisions by surrounding themselves with people who possess traits they prefer.On an instinctive level, Cerf’s idea (45)_____________: Many choices people make are the product of social pressures and the inputs of (46)___________people around them. One example Cerf furnishes is that, (47)________consistently ordering the second menu item. he never picks where to eat. Rather, he (48)________his decision to his dining partner which friend he plans to eat with, probably one he trusts and always lets them pick.While it's (49)__________what, if any, scientific principles underlie those pieces of advice, there is no shortage of research showing that choices can sometimes feel more(50)_______than liberating. An example from Quanta poits (假设): If you have a clear love of Snickers(士力架), choosing that over an Almond Joy(杏仁巧克力) or a Milky Way(牛奶巧克力) should be a(51)________. And, as an experiment conducted by neuroscientist Paul Glimcher at NYU shows, most of the time it is, (52)_________you introduce more choices. When the participants were offered three candy bars (Snickers, Milky Way, and Almond Joy) they had no problem picking their favorite, but when they were given the option of one among 20, including Snickers, they would sometimes drift away from their (53)_____. When the choices were taken away in later trials. the participants would wonder what caused them to make such a bad decision.As Quanta details, according to a model called" 'divisive normalization(分裂归一化), which has gained some popularity, the way the brain encodes choices has a lot to do with how it values all its options. So, if you have twothings that are clearly (54)___________, brain areas involved in decision-making fire in a pattern that makes the decision clear. When the choices are comparable. the brain does its best to focus on the distinctions between the two, but more choices (55)_________ that ability out.41. A. relieved B. released C. eliminated D. liberated42. A. influenced B. inherited C. implemented D. informed43. A. maximize B. balance C. cherish D. seek44. A safer B. fewer C. better D. sounder45.

A. after B. before C. when D. until53. A. preference B. struggle C. status D. directionA. impressiveB. insignificantC. uniqueD. distinct55. A. crowd B. figure C. sort D. putSection BDirections: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A. B. C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)One spring day, once the flowers have begun to open, a bee will hover (盘旋)and zip through your yard and dive-bomb your picnic table. While you're thinking about avoiding an attack, that bee is focused on something else entirely: me.A honeybee has about six weeks to live. Today, like most days, her task is to fly as many as three miles from home. stick her long. straw like tongue into a hundred or so flowers. When the bee has had her fill. she’ll fly home. There the bee will deposit what she has got into the mouth of one of her co-workers, who will relay it to another, and so on for about 20 minutes, until the mixture is ready to be placed into the comb. Then she and her 50.000 or so mates will hover in the dark all night every night, flapping their wings to create hot, breezy conditions to remove the waterfrom the mixture. Several sunrises later, they will seal me off in a golden cell of beeswax. In her lifetime, our bee may visit 4,000 flowers, and yet will produce only one-twelfth a tea spoon of me.The average American consumes nearly a pound and a half of me every year, in tea, on toast, and beyond. If I do say so myself, I am a timeless treasure. Literally I never go bad.Unfortunately, my good health is not guaranteed. The problem lies in the growth of industrial agriculture and the use of pest control chemicals, as well as changes in weather patterns, all of which reduce the number of flowers bees have to visit. I’d appreciate your letting your own garden grow just a little wild. My future depends on all of us fostering spring and summers wild flowers, thus helping the bees, who give so much to you, to me without ever asking for anything in return.56. What does “me” refer to in the passage?A. The flower.B. The bee.C. Water. D Honey.57. What is the 2nd paragraph mainly about?A. Bees’ special talent.B. Bees’ hard work.C. Bees’ living environment.D. Bees’ social behavior.58. Which one of the following is true according to the passage?A. A bee will always prioritize attacking picnic lovers.B. Before “me” is sealed off in beeswax, the drying process can take a few nights.C. The lifework of a bee satisfies the average demand of an American consumer annually.D. Bees are more likely to visit those deliberately pest-controlled gardens59. What is the purpose of the passage?A. To appeal for help for honeybees.B. To talk about the history of a treasure.C. To put forward techniques for gardeners.D. To argue against the control of chemicals.(B)Get Your Unlimited Card at Cineworld CinemasEnjoy Unlimited FilmsWatch all the films you want at any Cineworld for just one monthly price.Being an Unlimited card holder gives you access to all the 2D films you canhandle for one monthly price.

If it extends further south overpopulated areas, such as southern Greenland, people would be at increased risk of sunburn. However, on current trends the hole is expected to disappear altogether in a few weeks.Low temperatures in the northern polar regions led to an unusual stable polar vortex(极地漩涡) and the presence of ozone-destroying chemicals such as chlorine(氯)in the atmosphere-from human activities caused the hole to form.“The hole is principally a geophysical curiosity.” said Vincent-Henri Peuch, director of the Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service. “We monitored unusual dynamic(动态的)conditions, which drive the process of chemical depletion of ozone. Those dynamics allowed for lower temperatures and a more stable vortex than usual over the Arctic, which then triggered the formation of polar stratospheric(平流层的)clouds and the catalytic(催化的) destruction of ozone.”The hole is not related to the Covid-19 shutdowns that have dramatically cut air pollution and reduced greenhouse gas emissions. It is also too early to say whether the unusually stable Arctic polar vortex conditions are linked with the climate crisis, or part of normal stratospheric weather variability.Peuch said there were no direct implications for the climate crisis. Temperatures in the region are already increasing, slowing the depletion of ozone, and the hole will start to recover as polar air mixes with ozone rich air from lower latitudes. The last time similar conditions were observed was in spring 2011.While a hole over the Arctic is a rare event, the much larger hole in the ozone layer over the Antarctic has been a major cause for concern for more than four decades. The production of ozone depleting chemicals has been dramatically reduced, under the1987 Montreal Protocol(蒙特利尔协议), but some sources appear still to be functioning in 2018unauthorized emissions were detected from some areas.New sources of ozone depleting chemicals were not a factor in the hole observed in the Arctic, said Peuch. “However, this is a reminder that one should not take the Montreal Protocol measures for granted and that observations from the ground and from satellites are central to avoid a situation where the ozone destroying chemical level in the stratosphere could increase again.”63. What is the possible meaning of the underlined word “depletion”?A. replacement.B. consumption.C. increase.D. production.64. According to the passage, scientists are concerned about the hole because____________.A. it is expected to be a threat to the mankind.B. the new hole is caused by air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions.C. it may encourage further scientific research and environmental awareness.D. it wars us of an oncoming climate crisis.65. What can be learned from the last two paragraphs?A. The hole over the Arctic shares the same causes as the one over the Antarctic.B. Human activities are highly responsible for producing ozone-destroying chemicals.C. The Montreal Protocol has successfully prevented new emissions.D. Some new illegal emissions are to blame for the hole over the Arctic.66. The best title for the passage is probably_________.A. Record-size Hole Opens in Ozone Layer above the Arctic.B Actions Urgently Needed for a New Hole in Ozone Layer.C Environmental Disaster and International Cooperation.D. How a Hole in Ozone Affects our Life on Earth.Section CDirections: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.People like to post their selfies(自拍照)on social media. To know more about it, scientists at Syracuse University in New York recently did a research and came up with some surprising findings.People who post selfies and use editing software to make themselves look better show behaviors connected to narcissism, the researchers said. (67)_________Makana Chock, a professor from Syracuse University. said because social media is mostly used by people to share unimportant information about their lives, it is a good place for people to “work towards satisfying their own vanity.” Those “likes” under their Facebook selfies make them feel good.(68)_________Some people feel “peer pressure” to post selfies and some follow the popular belief that if there is no picture of an event or experience. it did not really happen. “Anyway, it shouldn’t be seen as negative. People get sense of satisfaction especially when they get likes. And it does no harm,” Chock said.Other findings from the study include: There are no major differences on how often men and women post selfies and how often they use editing software. (69)_______Chock said posting selfies on social media is not all that different from what people have done for many years. On trips and special events, our parents and grandparents used cameras instead of phones to take photos. They would bring back photos to show friends and family. You had no choice but to look at them. You probably commented about how nice everyone in the photos looked, especially children and the person showing the photos. They were happy to hear your comments. (70)__________On social media, however, people can decide not to look at photos even if they click “like”.TV. Summary WritingDirections: Read the following passage, Summarize the main idea and the main point(s)of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.It's natural to feel the need to control something when everything around you feels out of control, and you feel helpless. When a friend of mine first heard about the coronavirus outbreak. she got down on her hand. and knees and cleaned her kitchen floor. She told me, “My floor wasn’t even dirty, but doing something constructive made me feel in control and that I was holding on to my power, despite the desperate circumstances.”Your most powerful weapon against uncertainty is your perspective because nobody and no situation can take that from you unless you give it away. Your perspective can victimize or empower you. When you look for the upside in a downside situation and figure out what you can control and what you can't, it's easier to accept whatever is beyond your control.高三英语调研测试（试卷参考答案）I Listening ComprehensionSection A1-5 BDBCB6-10 CBCCDSection B11-13 AAC14-16 BAD17-20 ACDCII.

First, good perspective is of the greatest help, for evaluating the situation properly brings a clearer picture. Second, kind behaviors during tough times can secure you a sense of control as well. Third, actions and thoughts of positivity also help as they may create hope and optimism.It's essential to feel you can control something in a crisis or emergency. Positive perspective is the most important, since it will ensure you confidence and power to pull through the difficult situation. Then doing small good deeds can free you from worry temporarily by helping others. Lastly. take some positive action to arouse the hope within you.V. Translation72.

However, that is precisely how the fish-found in the waters off Northern Australia-moves across the seafloor. The unique ocean animals were discovered by a team of scientists led by Dr. Christine Dudgeon from Australia's University of Queensland during a 12-year global conservation study.The newly-found sharks have evolved to survive in low oxygen environments, enabling them to hunt during low tides. The researchers believe their ability to use their fins(鳍) to walk affords the sharks a remarkable edge over the smaller animals they try to hunt. “While they are super hunters in their shallow habitat, the tiny sharks present no threat to people,” says Dudgeon. “At less than a meter long on average they're incredibly cute little animals that do not look like sharks at all,” she adds.A DNA analysis of skin samples from the live fish suggests that walking sharks broke away from their original population and became a distinct species about nine million years ago. Though that may appear to be a long time ago, it is relatively recent given that sharks have been around for more than 400 million years. In fact, Dudgeon and her team believe walking sharks are the youngest kind of sharks on Earth!The researchers say that the sharks’ small numbers and shallow habitat make them extremely vulnerable(易受伤害) to natural disasters and overfishing. They are currently on the Nature Red List, which lists species at risk. Dudgeon and her team believe sensible conservation management plans are urgently needed to protect the walking sharks and other endangered animals from further threats.4.What is the most noticeable feature of the newly-found sharks?A. They are cute and harmless to humans.B. They can survive in their shallow habitat.C. They walk on their fins across the seafloorD. They are the youngest kind of sharks on Earth.5.What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?A.The evolution of the sharksB. The behavior of the sharks.T8C. The population of the sharks.D. The DNA samples of the sharks.6. What should be done without delay according to Dudgeon and her team?A. Adjusting the methods of fishing. dwor132B. Putting the sharks on the Nature Red List.C. Changing the sharks’ living environments.D. Adopting necessary measures to protect the sharks.7. In which column of website can we read the text？A. EnvironmentB. Nature.cationD. Geography【答案】4—7 CADBCThe Tokyo Summer Olympics is going green. The 5,000 medals Japan has made are more special than most.One novel focus of the Tokyo Olympics is to be "sustainable"-to avoid using too many natural resources, so that the games are easy on the environment. As part of this goal, the organizers decided to make all of the Olympic medals out of metal recycled from old electronics.Almost all electronics are made with small amounts of "precious metals". like gold and silver. But collecting enough of these metals to make medals was huge challenge. That's because the amount of metal in each device is tiny.It would take about 20,000 cell phones to get just I kilogram of gold.Beginning in April 2017, the organizers placed collection boxes around the country, and asked people to turn in their old electronic devices. Soon people began to respond to the initiative, turning in smartphones digital cameras, handheld games and laptops. At first, collection went slowly, but soon more and more areas began to take part. By the end, 1, 621 local governments had helped out with the collection process.Then came the job of breaking those devices down into smaller pieces. After being taken apart and sorted, the small electronics were smelted(熔炼) to get all the gold, silver, and bronze elements. This is a tricky job, which calls for careful attention and good skill. It's also dangerous, because some of the metals and other things aren't safe for people to touch or breathe.By the end of March, 2019, the organizers had hit their targets of getting enough metal for the medals. They had collected around 32 kilograms of gold. 4,100 kilograms of silver and 2,200 kilograms of bronze. And now all the 5,000 medals are available for the would-be winners.8. What can we know about the Tokyo Olympics medals?A. They are hugely valuable.B. They are of high quality.C. They are designed uniquely.D. They are made from e-waste-.9. What does Paragraph 4 mainly tell us?A. The difficulty of making the medals.B. The process of collecting old electronics.C. The initiative to recycle used smartphonesD. The classification of the collected devices.10. The underlined word “tricky” in Paragraph 5 means “_____”A. creativeB. well-paidC. demandingD. time-consuming11. What's the purpose of Tokyo's way of making the medals?A. To advocate sustainable use of resources.B. To promote the spirit of Olympic Games.C. To introduce a new technique to make medals.D. To call people's attention to environmental damage.【答案】8—11 DBCADOver the last 25 years，psychologists have found that personalities center on five basic traits（特性）--the Big Five: agreeableness，conscientiousness（责任心），neuroticism, extroversion and openness. Contrary to common belief, people just aren’t organized into certain personality types. Every trait is a continuous dimension and everyone can be described as having varying levels of each trait. A new research has also found animals from ants to apes all have the Big Five and that the universality of personality points to an evolutionary（进化）origin.Animals and humans have common problems of survival, which are spelled out beautifully in the Big Five，and that’s why there’s so much continuity in human personality and anim al personality. For example，conscientiousness involves behaviors like planning and consideration，which are important among animals for taking care of their young. selecting mates and living in groups. Being neat and orderly-aspects of conscientiousness-also has evolutionary superiority. Bees that like to keep clean and remove more dead group members reduce risk of disease，gain more weight and reproduce more. Spiders that make tidy webs catch more insects. Birds that build neater and solider nests attract more mates.These behaviors may seem primitive，but they’re nevertheless indications of personality.Personality is the expression of all of the behaviors that humans and animals exhibit that allow them to function adaptively in the world.Evolution can also explain why personalities vary so much . Depending on the situation, each of the Big Five can be advantageous. For example, agreeableness is great for relationships. But if a lion were charging at you, you'd be better off with a less agreeable and more aggressive personality. Because the world is so unpredictable, every aspect of each personality trait could be useful at different times, so instead of evolving a single type of personality that's best for every situation, we're left with a wide variety.12. What do people generally think about personality types?A. Different personality types have respective strengths.B. Everyone falls into a particular personality type.C. People with common personality types gather.D. Everyone has mixed personality types.13. What’s the purpose of mentioning some animals in Paragraph 2?A. To illustrate the advantages of being conscientious.B. To analyze survival chances of cooperative animals.C. To explain why they are tidy and orderly.D. To throw new light on their behavior.14. Why do we display a certain personality in a specific situation?A. To be free of trouble.B. To be adaptive to circumstances.C. To compete for equal rights.D. To gain advantages over others.15. What does the text mainly focus on?A. Personality and behavior.B. Categories of the Big Five.C. Contradictory facts on personality.D. Diversity and variability of personality.【答案】12-15 BABD第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

expertise.In the highly reviewed Shakespeare(2007),he raced us through the playwright’s life and works in222pages;A Short History of Nearly Everything(2003)was his624-page analysis of“everything that has happened from the Big Bang to the rise of civilisation”—and it remains the best-selling science book of the21st century so far.Can he make it again with A Really Short Journey Through the Body,which promises us a“head to toe”tour in138pages?In his books for adult readers,Bryson’s success has lain in an ability to turn vast,complex subjects into an easy and pleasant narrative,filled with tiny facts and odd stories.His latest book,which follows his adult title The Body (2020),is aimed at children as young as eight,for whom this proven writing style works well.“No doubt about it,the human body is a truly remarkable thing,”Bryson writes,and it’s the remarkable facts that interest him the most.Did you know that you blink14,000times a day?Or that it takes seven billion billion billion atoms to make you?And that if you formed all your DNA into a single line,it would reach10billion miles across the solar system?Fresh doctors might find some of the entries frustratingly brief.The tongue,for example,receives only a paragraph,while,a chapter,entitled‘Poo and Farts’,is relatively detailed:“In your life,you’ll probably poo the weight of5cars but you’ll have eaten the weight of60.So that’s not a terrible result.”Biology books can be heavy weather;but Bryson’s skill,as ever,is to turn the story of the human body into a thoroughly digestible read.4.What do Bryson’s latest book and The Body(2020)have in common?A.They are easy to read.B.They are both about physics.C.They are intended for adults.D.They are both best-selling books.5.What is the purpose of Paragraph3?A.To analyze the structure of the book.B.To illustrate the attraction of the book.C.To show the scientific value of the book.D.To display the main contents of the book.6.What does the underlined phrase“heavy weather”mean in the last paragraph?A.Packed with facts.B.Weather-related.C.Hard to understand.D.Popular and readable.7.What is the text?A.An introduction to a book.B.An essay on biology.C.A news report on science.D.A biography of a writer.CStrategically adding weak points along microscopic chains called polymers(高分子聚合物)actually makes them harder to tear,researchers report in the June23Science.Polymers are used in car tires,and therefore the findings could help reduce plastic pollution as tires wear down over time.When tires rub against the road,they drop microplastics of rubber and plastic polymers,which pollute waterways and air.Every year,tires release an estimated6million metric tons of these microplastics into environment.Stronger polymers that break apart less easily could limit the amount of particles shed annually.To make such tough materials,Stephen Craig,a chemist at Duke University,and colleagues added molecules called cross-linkers to the polymers.These cross-linkers connected these polymer chains to their many neighbors,and they were specifically designed to break apart easily.At the microscopic scale,the polymers act like a tangle(乱团)of spaghetti with the cross-linkers holding them all together and helping them keep their shape,says Craig’s collaborator Shu Wang,a chemist at MIT.When the team stretched the polymer spaghetti,the individual cross-linkers broke easily, as expected.But the larger tangle material required more force to break than they expected.The secret to the increased toughness lies in the path the tear has to take,Craig says.The tear goes through the easy-to-break cross-linkers rather than through the tougher polymer chains.Each broken connection follows the path of least resistance but avoiding the long polymer chains means breaking many cross-linkers,which requires more stretching force overall.This isn’t the first time researchers have used weak connectors to make polymers stronger.But unlike in similar materials,the increased toughness doesn’t come at the expense of other beneficial properties like stiffness(风度). Craig says he hopes the findings will help extend the lifetimes of car tires and plastics,potentially limiting annual microplastic pollution.8.What benefit does the new material bring?A.It meets the road standard.B.It weakens plastic polymers.C.It releases less microplastics.D.It reduces the cost of car tires.9.What can we know about the tangle material?A.It follows the pattern of spaghetti.B.It is designed to fall apart easily.C.The polymers help keep its shape.D.The larger tangle is harder to break.10.What is the primary factor that contributes to the increased toughness?A.The weakness of the cross-linker.B.The strength of the polymer chains.C.The number of the cross-linkers used.D.The path the tear takes through the material.11.What can we learn about the finding?A.It initially uses weak connectors.B.It sacrifices stiffness for toughness.C.It lengthens the lifespan of car tires.D.It removes annual microplastic pollution.DEver feel disconnected during a stressful event?That could be your brain protecting you.During traumatic(痛苦的)situations,people might experience an unexpected wave of emotional indifference or feel like they’ve separated from reality and are having an out-of-body experience.These symptoms of disconnect describe dissociation,a defense mechanism that separates threatening feelings and ideas from the rest of someone’s mind.But why do our minds sometimes dissociate when we’re experiencing stressful events?Typically,the sympathetic nervous system,which is responsible for our“fight or flight”response,activates when a person is in upcoming physical danger.Mammals,including humans,evolved to have this response,as it pushes them to survive by fighting or escaping from danger.Dissociation is another way the nervous system is ready to respond to trauma when fight or flight appears to be too dangerous or impossible.Dissociation can protect someone in the moment so that they are mentally separated from a situation causing physical pain,emotional pain or both.Oftentimes,victims of abuse report dissociation during the event or having foggy memories of an event after the fact due to dissociation.Nevertheless,problems can arise if people continue to dissociate even once they’re separated from the intense trauma,as opposed to relying on other coping mechanisms,for example,help from a professional.Many people who continue to dissociate often struggle with daily stress,like meeting work deadlines or speaking with peers.Many feel disconnected in their relationships and may find themselves unconcentrated during what used to be usual interactions or tasks.But the goal of addressing long-term dissociation isn’t to do away with it.After all,it can be a useful strategy to help survive a dangerous situation.But memories of the traumatic event are often disruptive and painful,so having some distance from that could mean a better quality of life after the trauma.12.What is the main idea of Paragraph1?A.It defines what dissociation is.B.It emphasizes the value of dissociation.C.It lists different symptoms of disconnect.D.It explains why we experience stressful events.13.How does dissociation work on victims of abuse?A.By erasing their memories.B.By getting rid of their emotional pain.C.By protecting victims from physical pain.D.By distancing the victims mentally from the reality.14.What might happen if people continue to dissociate?A.Failing to focus on tasks.B.Meeting work deadlines.C.Having a better quality of life.D.Relying on other coping mechanisms.15.Which of the following might the author agree with?A.Traumatic events are avoidable.B.Dissociation needs to be handled properly.C.People’s well-being is based on the distance.D.There’re enough coping strategies for traumas.第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

He took the job when the previous coach quit and transformed the team’s fortunes.With the help of his assistant Andy Austin, they started training hard in April 2020.Some players had never kicked a football before joining the team, so training them took hours of hard work and patience. After a good few weeks, they got down to training and really started to take it in what the coach wanted. “I insist on doing the basic stuff well and letting the girls decide what they feel they need to work on.” James said.James’ first season was ruined by the pandemic, which forced him and Andy to get creative with training. They organized team-building activities with the girls to help them bond on and off the field. James then spent the sessions they could hold focusing on the basics of football like passing and shooting, bringing the girls up to a good standard.James watched the girls develop over the course of last year, and in September they played their first match of the new season. They won the game, and since then went on an unbeaten run of eight games. The team’s star player, 15-year-old Chelsea, has also impressed the audience individually,becoming the top scorer in the league with incredible 30 goals.James said, “All the effort that the girls, us coaches and parents have put in to get this point has been enormous. If I hadn’t had the Support of Andy helping me every week, this would have been an impossible task. So I’m incredibly grateful to have him on side. All we want is to bring more girls into the game and show that it’s not all about having the best players; it’s about hard work and giving everyone the chance to play.”4．Why did James Henry take over the soccer team?A．Because he wanted to try his fortune.B．Because he wanted to turn things around.C．Because the previous coach recommended him.D．Because he hoped to fulfill his champion dream.5．What did James do to change the situation?A．Pick experienced players.B．Develop players’ patience.C．Lay stress on basic skills.D．Make decisions for the girls.6．What did the team achieve after James was in charge?A．They won the league championship.B．They stood out in James’ first season.C．They scored 30 goals in the season.D．They won regularly and secured promotion.7．What can we learn from the story?A．Talent is the key.B．Joint efforts matter.C．Every dog has his day.D．Time and tide wait for no man.Identical twins Kathy and Sophie arrived at college last year and determined to strike out on independent paths, so they had requested rooms in different dorms. While Kathy got along with her roommate, Sophie was miserable. She and her roommate silently warred over matters ranging from when the lights should be turned off to how the furniture should be arranged. Finally, they divided the room in two and gave up on oral communication. During this time, Sophie kept seeking comfort from Kathy. Before long, the two wanted to live together again. Sophie’s roommate eventually agreed to move out.Sophie’s ability to solve her dilemma by rooming with her identical twin is unusual, but the conflict she faced is not. Most roommate conflicts spring from such small, annoying differences rather than from grand disagreements over abstract philosophical principles. One person likes quiet, while the other person spends two hours a day practicing the trumpet. One eats only organically produced vegetables and loves animals, while the other likes wearing fur and enjoys cutting up frogs in biology class.When personalities don’t mix, the excitement of being away at college can quickly fade away. Moreover, roommates can affect each other’s psychological health. A recent study reports that depression in college roommates is often passed from one person to another.Many schools have started conflict resolution programs to calm tensions that otherwise can build up like a volcano preparing to explode, ultimately resulting in physical violence. Some colleges have resorted to“roommate contracts“ that all new students fill out and sign after attending a seminar on roommate relations. Students detail behavioral guidelines for their room, including acceptable hours for study and sleep, a policy for use of each other’s possessions. Some schools try to head off the feud before it begins by using computerized matching. Students are put together on the basis of their responses to housing form questions.8．Why is the twins’ story mentioned?A．To describe college life.B．To reveal the relationship of the twins.C．To show the love between the sisters.D．To present the phenomenon of roommate conflicts.9．What is the cause of most conflicts among roommates?A．They have opposite mindsets.B．They argue over serious matters.C．They differ greatly in life values.D．They hold different preferences in some way.10．What does the underlined word “feud” in the last paragraph mean? A．Difference.B．Quarrel.C．Competition.D．Disagreement.11．Which of the following is the best title for the text?A．Identical Twins Living Together Again in CollegesB．Roommate Conflicts, Common and Unavoidable?C．Roommate Contracts, Useful in Solving Conflicts?D．Roommate Conflicts Affecting Students’ PsychologyAs the global population grows and shifts towards urban living, the land available in our cities is being under increasing pressure.In order to be sustainable, cities need to find ways to minimize their urban expansion.One option is to build upwards; another is to dig down.In Montreal, constructed underground to relieve overcrowding in the city streets is RESO —one of the largest underground complexes in the world.It is a network connecting everything from shops and banks to flats and hotels.This shows how going underground can meet human needs whilst also bringing certain environmental benefits.Underground transport can reduce traffic jam above ground, thereby improving air quality.Furthermore, thanks to their relatively constant climate throughout the year, underground spaces consume less energy for heating and cooling.When planning underground construction projects, developers must consider existing structures on or near the site, such as the remains of historicbuildings.Designers must also ensure any underground space intended for human use has good air quality.One example is the forthcoming LDN Hotel,an underground hotel beneath the streets of London.Designers are using a wide range of plans to help keep the air inside clean,together with a state-of-the-art ventilation system (通风系统).Light is another key consideration.In New York, plans for the world's first underground park Demonstrate novel ways of bringing natural rays beneath the surface.By employing solar technology light is to be reflected down through a series of pipes into the terminal below.This light would be sufficient for photosynthesis (光合作用) to occur and the park's plants to grow naturally.Today's architects are developing innovative ways to make underground spaces functional and comfortable.The question remains whether they can providesustainable and realistic options for the future.Besides practical considerations, there exists the challenge of building a positive perception of “going underground".Yet, the obvious challenges of constructing habitable underground spaces must be weighed against the urgent issue of housing the world's ballooning population.One day, it will feel as natural to live and work underground as it does to do so over 100 storeys high.12．What does the author intend to do in paragraph 2?A．To advertise the underground complexes.B．To give suggestions on relieving crowdedness.C．To explain how the underground network works.D．To introduce the benefits of building underground.13．How does the author develop his opinion?A．By giving examples.B．By listing study findings.C．By making comparisons.D．By quoting others' words.14．Which of the following will the author agree?A．Going underground can solve the problem of global warming.B．Good air quality is superior to other factors.C．Natural light is not necessary for underground plants.D．The future of going underground calls for people's positive attitude. 15．What is the text mainly about?A．Ways to house the world population.B．Concerns for the urban expansion.C．Why and how to build underground.D．The promising future of our cities.二、七选五If you like spend more time outside close to home, you may notice a lot more of what happens naturally in your neighborhood. ____16____. That’s called “citizen” or “community” science. Thousands of community science projects are out there. Here’s how to get started.Figure out what sparks your curiosity. Ask yourself what gets you excited about nature. Do you love observing the weather? Are you concerned about the water quality, where you live? ____17____ Then there’s going to be a project about them.____18____ All you need is a smartphone or a computer for most community science projects. Check out Citizen to learn more and find projects in the database. If you’re interested in a broader topic but you’re not sure exactly what you want to study, you can choose a broader topic like “astronomy and space” and see a range of available projects. ____19____. Naturalist allows you to record yourobservations to share with fellow naturalists.

He is15 years old. He lives in a small town in the north ofEngland. Every morning, he gets up at eight o’clock, puts on his uniform and walks to school.One hour later, the lessons start. The students usually study maths, English, history and geography in the morning. They usually study music and drawing and they play sports after lunch. They have a ten-minute break between classes. They also spend a long time in the school library, reading books and doing their homework.Richard likes his school very much. His favourite subjects are English and geography, but he doesn’t like maths because he is not good at it.Richard and all his friends spend the whole day at school. Lunch is at one o’clock. He doesn’t like the food that the school serves. This is why he often brings a packed lunch from home. He always has his lunch in the dining hall, but some of his friends sometimes eat in the courtyard or outside the school gate.At weekends, he always goes out with his friends because he doesn’t go to school. On Saturday, he always goes to the cinema or to the sports centre. On Sunday, he just goes for a walk with his dog.4. What time do Richard’s lessons begin in the morning?A. At 8:00.B. At 8:30.C. At 9:00.D. At 9:10.5. What does Richard like best?A. Maths and English.B. English and geography.C. History and maths.D. Geography and history.6. Where does Richard have lunch on weekdays?A. In the dining hall.B. At home.C. In the courtyard.D. Outside his school gate.7. What does Richard always do on Saturday?A. He reads and does homework.B. He goes to see films or does sports.C.

He spends a long time in the library.CThe common use of Google Maps, a navigation(导航) app on smartphones, raises the age-old question we meet with any technology:What skills are we losing? But also, crucially: What capabilities are we gaining?People who are good at finding their way around or good at using paper maps usually experience lots of confusion with digital maps. For example, they may mess up the direction of north and south, and you can see only a small section at a time. But consider what digital navigation aids have meant for someone like me. Despite being a frequent traveler, I’m so terrible at finding my way that I still use Google Maps almost every day in the small town where I have lived for many years. What seems unnecessary to some has been a significant expansion of my own capabilities.Part of the problem is that reading paper maps requires a specific skill set. There is nothing natural about them. In many developed nations, street names and house numbers are meaningful, and instructions such as “go north for three blocks and then west” usually make sense. In Istanbul, in contrast, where I grew up, none of those hold true. For one thing, the locals rarely use street names, and house numbers often aren’tsequentialeither because after buildings 1, 2 and 3 were built, someone squeezed in another house between 1 and 2, and now that’s 4. But then 5 will maybe get built after 3, and 6 will be between 2 and 3. Besides, the city is full of winding and ancient streets that meet with newer ones. Therefore, instructions as simple as “go north” would require a helicopter. I got lost all the time.But since I used Google Maps, I travel with a lot more confidence, and my world has opened up. And because I go to more places more confidently, I believe my native navigation skills have somewhat improved, too.That brings me back to my original question: while we often lose some skills after seeking convenience from technology, this new setup may also allow us to expand our capabilities and do something more confidently. Maybe when technology closes a door, we should also look for the doors it opens.8. How does the author feel about Google Maps?A Confusing. B. Unnecessary. C. Complicated. D. Helpful.9. Which contributes to the difficulty of finding ways in Istanbul?A. Strange street names.B. Ordinary paper maps.C. Complex road arrangements.D. Lack of road instructions.10. What does the underlined word “sequential” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A. In a fixed order.B. In good condition.C. Of great importance.D. Of the same kind.11. What column of a newspaper may this passage belong to?A. Fashion.B. Opinion.C. Society.D. Geography.DOn March 18, 34-year-old Lance Karlson was walking on the beach and looking for somewhere toswim in Geographe Bay when he saw what he thought was a stingray (黄貂鱼) leap from the water.Realizing the creature was, in fact, an octopus (章鱼), he started filming it — just in time for the angry octopus to launch itself at him. He immediately felt a sharp pain across his left arm, followed by a second strike across his neck and upper back. His goggles (护目镜) fogged and the water around him turned dark with what he thought might have been octopus ink as he struggled back toward the shore."I was confused — it was more of a shock than a fright," said Karlson, "I might have hit on its home." Within a minute, a perfect imprint of an octopus tentacle (触手) appeared on Karlson's neck and back.A former volunteer lifeguard, Karlson rushed back to his hotelroom to find something acidic to put on the wound. All his family could grab was Coca-Cola, which his wife poured over his back and the pain disappeared."The pain went away and more than anything since then, it's been more the physical hit that was painful.... The imprint on my neck is more from the physical hit, and I guess it makes complete sense when you look at the video I took," he said.Karlson said he'd never seen an octopus that close before and watched Netflix documentary "My Octopus Teacher" after the incident to learn more about the species."They are beautiful creatures and I really hope this promotes more interest in octopuses as opposed to fear of them. I think this is a fascinating creature with clearly some very strong emotions just like we do as humans," he added.12. When did the octopus attack Karlson?A. When he was swimming in the bay.B. When he was shooting the octopus.C. When he was looking for some fish.D. When he was fighting against the octopus.13. What plays an essential role in reducing Karlson's pain?A. The lifeguard's timely help.B. Karson's wife's quick action.C. The family members' efforts.D. Karlson’s knowledge of first aid.14. What does Karlson learn from his experience?A. The octopus is dangerous.B. People should get away from the octopus.C. People need know more about the octopus.D. The physical hit from the octopus is painful.15. Which of the following might be the best title?A. Pain from Strong AttackB. First Aid for Octopus' StrikeC. Face to Face with Angry OctopusD.
