AKatie was in big trouble. She was such a sweet kid; a thirdgrade teacher always dreamed of having a classroom filled with Katies; she was never a discipline(纪律) problem. I just couldn’t imagine why she had made her parents so angry.It seemed that Katie had been running up sizable charges in the lunchroom. Her parents explained that Katie brought a great homemade lunch each day, and there was no reason for her to buy school lunch. They assumed a sitdown with Katie would solve the problem, but failed. So they asked me to help them get to the bottom of this situation.So the next day, I asked Katie to my office. “Why are you charging lunches, Katie? What happened to your homemade lunch？” I asked. “I lose it，” she responded. I leaned back in my chair and said, “I don’t believe you, Katie.”She didn’t care. “Is someone stealing your lunch, Katie？” I took a new track. “No. I just lose it，” she said. Well, there was nothing else I could do.The problem was still unsolved the next week when I noticed a boy who was new to the school sitting aloneat a lunch table. He always looked sad. I thought I would go and sit with him for a while. As I walked towards him, I noticed the lunch bag on the table. The name on the bag said “ Katie ” .Now I understood and I talked to Katie. It seemed that the new boy never brought a lunch, and he wouldn’t go to the lunch line for a free lunch. He had told Katie his secret and asked her not to tell anyone that his parents wanted him to get a free lunch at school. Katie asked me not to tell her parents, but I drove to her house that evening after I was sure that she was in bed. I had never seen parents so proud of their child. Katie didn’t care that her parents and teacher were disappointed in her. But she cared about a little boy who was hungry and scared.Katie still buys lunch every day at school. And every day, as she heads out of the door, her mom hands her a delicious homemade lunch.21．What did the author think of Katie?A．She performed well at school. B．She was a girl filled with love.C．She often made trouble at school. D．She used to be a discipline problem.22．Why did Katie eat school lunch instead of her homemade lunch every day?A．She lost her homemade lunch.B．She had her homemade lunch stolen.C．She didn’t like the taste of her homemade lunch.D．She gave her homemade lunch to a hungry boy.23．What was Katie’s parents’ reaction to the truth about the lunch?A．They were very angry. B．They were proud of Katie.C．They were disappointed. D．They were rather upset.24．What can we learn from the passage?A．Katie was informed that her parents had known her secret.B．Katie told the author the truth of her lunch during their first talk.C．Katie’s secret of lunch was discovered by the author by accident.D．Katie stopped buying lunch at school after her secret was discovered.BLast year, I kept having this particular feeling I was living just for the “me, me, me”. With this in mind, I decided to volunteer to break out of this me-centricity.After reaching out to a number of organizations, I got a call back from a dance studio in New Jersey. On my first day volunteering, a remarkable young girl caught my eye. That girl could dance! Aside from her natural skill, which was a delight to witness, she simply lit up the room. She was African American, ten years old and she wore the more lovely big-rimmed glasses. At the end of class, I had to ask her, “How long have you been taking lessons?” She replied shyly, “I wish... I have never taken a class.” I was speechless.Her teacher told me she lived in a group home, and then and there I knew what I felt called to do. I called Family Services, started her in dance lessons and trained to become her mentor (良师益友). Now, for the past year and a half, I’ve seen her every week, taking her to eat, to read, to see movies, and to visit street fairs.She once told me “No one ever wanted me. I was doomed (判决) since my birth.” I could only reply, “Honey, you are lovabl e, worthy and unique. You are stuck with me, and I’m not going anywhere!” We both laughed.I love this kid. I had a great childhood, and I want to pay it forward! 25.From the first paragraph, we can learn .A. the author longed for care from othersB. the author liked staying alone at homeC. the author was eager to keep away from lonelinessD. once the author only thought of and lived for herself26.The author went into the dance studio in New Jersey to .A. take part in a dance matchB. teach dance with no payC. volunteer for the dance studioD. pick up her daughter learning dance27.Watching the girl’s dance, the author felt .A. uncomfortableB. delightedC. upsetD. speechless28.Which is the right order of the following events?a.

My mom was out for shopping to get groceries and my dad was asleep upstairs in his room. Suddenly, it started to snow. First it was just a little. But then it started to pour heavily.Then, we put the finishing touches to our blocks and headed back inside. Right when I opened the sliding glass door, my cousin fell down on the slippery wooden stairs. I let go of the door, my worst mistake, you see. The door locks automatically but I had put a rock, right next to the door so it wouldn’t close. But while I was running to my cousin’s aid I’d accidentally kicked the rock.Now, my cousin and I were locked outside. And unfortunately it started to get really windy. It was really freezing with the snow. First we started to call my dad, but he was sleeping soundly. I mean, slept through a tornado soundly. It was of no use.Then I tried to climb over the fence but it didn’t work because the fence w as iced by snow and wind, and the fence is six feet high. So, I climbed up to my tree house and brainstormed some ideas on ways to get in. At one point, I was seriously considering jumping out of the tree house and using the trampoline(蹦床) to jump over the fence.So, we got to work. First, I took out the trampoline. Then I started to jump. First try—I almost cracked my head. Second try—this time I convinced my cousin to do it but at the last second, he chickened out. Third try—I jumped and missed but at the last second, my hand caught the fence, and with a lot of pushing I finally climbed over the fence and luckily, I fell on a big snowdrift.Then I got inside and unlocked the door for my cousin to get in. Finally, my mom came back. Then we shared this story with my mom and dad.29．When the author wanted to jump in, the main problem was that ________.A．the fence was icyB．the fence was slippery and highC．the trampoline couldn’t bear the weightD．the trampoline was too small30．The attitude of the author’s cousin towards jumping on the trampoline seems ________. A．passive B．positive C．indifferent D．objective31．The words “chickened out” (Paragraph 5) most probably mean “________”．.A．fell down B．cried out C．jumped up D．backed out32．Which would be the best title of the text?A．Climbing over the Fence in the SnowB．An Adventure in the YardC．Friendship Produces PleasureD．We Are IndependentDWhen a toddler (初学走路的孩子) went missing on Friday into the dark and cold woods around his home, officials called out police dogs to search fo r him. But his family, police and firefighters needn’t have worried because another dog was taking care of the boy—the family’s dog Ashapoo. The loyal and trusty dog was always at the side of his owner’s two-year-old grandson.It wasn’t a good thing when Peyton’s grandfather concentrated on picking a beautiful Christmas tree for the family. When he turned around, he found the energetic kid was gone, and so was Ashapoo.When Peyton’s parents showed up to join the hunt for their missing son in the 300 acres of woods, they felt better knowing that the boy was with Ashapoo. It was getting dark and cold as time went by, but there was no progress in the search work. A night passed, and people began getting desperate.When the rescuers made their way to a barn, Ashapoo suddenly appeared, and then ran away barking, leading the searchers to Peyton who was sleeping on the ground. He was fine. The two-year-old boy told his family he was scared, he was going to get hurt, and he was cold. The dad said, “I think Peyton got scared and just lay down to take a nap, and Ashapoo stayed right there with him.” He added, “I guess Ashapoo felt that it was his duty to protect him and be with him.” And he also said, “I believe the dog was his guardian angel in fur.”The parents said the dog was their hero. They planned to get Ashapoo a well-earned steak, and they were also thinking about getting a GPS tracker for Peyton.33.The text mainly tells us .A. a loyal dog saved its little masterB. why a dog is man’s best friendC. a little boy survived in the wild aloneD. dogs are dangerous to man sometimes34.When the boy walked away from his grandfather, what did Ashapoo do?A. He helped the boy find his way.B. He barked to draw attention.C. He followed the little kid.D. He looked for his owner everywhere.35.We can infer from the last paragraph that the boy’s parents .A. wanted to get a GPS tracker for the dogB. were grateful to the dog for what he had doneC. were not afraid that their boy would be missing againD. would never leave their boy alone with the dog again第二节 (共5小题;每小题2分,满分10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。

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

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

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

The other children laughed at her for the way she spoke, and she struggled to feel like she fit in.Sofia was fitted a bulb (咽球) that fit inside her mouth to help her form accurate sounds. While Sofia began to make great progress in speaking clearly, she still felt embarrassed around her classmates.During school lunches, she didn’t want any of them to see her remove her bulb in order that she could eat. She would slip into the bathroom before the meal to remove it, and then remain silent throughout lunch while her classmates chatted and laughed all around her. The process made her feel lonely even when she was surrounded by others.When she was 15, Sofia learned that Smile Train, the world’s largest cleft charity, would sponsor local professionals at nearby Notti Hospital to perform the operation she had waited so long for. She was overjoyed at the prospect of removing her bulb for good and living a confident life.Now, Sofia no longer requires a bulb! The operation and ensuing treatments Smile Train sponsored also resulted in permanent speech improvements that made an immediate positive impact on the teenager’s daily life.After Sofia shared a few verses of her favorite song in a Smile Train video, something truly remarkable happened. Sebastian Yatra, the Colombian singer and songwriter who wrote the hit, saw the video and recorded a special message just for her! Sofia was so excited by Sebastian’s message and by the incredible effect her own voice made!Smile Train has helped more than 1.5 million children like Sofia, and it continues to let smiles heal families all over the world.4．What does the underlined part “expressing herself vocally” mean in paragraph 2?A．Screaming hard.B．Speaking weakly.C．Talking actively.D．Pronouncingproperly.5．Which one was a challenge for Sofia with a bulb?A．Chatting freely.B．Looking natural.C．Eating things.D．Opening her mouth. 6．What was the outcome of Sofia sharing her singing in a Smile Train video?A．She became a professional singer.B．She gained widespread recognition on social media.C．She was offered a scholarship to a music academy.D．She received a special message from a famous singer.7．What can be inferred about the impact of Smile Train’s assistance on children like Sofia?A．It has a lasting and huge effect on their lives.B．It offers a one-time solution to their physical challenges.C．It provides a momentary improvement for their confidence.D．It is limited and does not address their emotional needs.According to the US Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS), six red wolf pups (幼崽) were found in North Carolina’s Alligator River National Wildlife Refuge last week. That’s great news for endangered red wolves, and marks the first time these pups have been born in the wild since 2020.Long ago, red wolves lived all through the US Southeast. But as the wolves were hunted, and as more and more land was taken over for cities, roads and farms, the wolves began to die out.In 1973, a new law called the Endangered Species Act was passed, which was designed to protect animals that were in danger of dying out, like red wolves. At the time, there were only about 17 red wolves remaining in the wild.14 of those wolves were caught and fed by researchers to protect them. Then, the FWS conducted a program called the Red Wolf Recovery Program. But by 1980, red wolves were believed to have been extinct in the wild.Luckily, the wolves did well under people’s care, and their numbers continued to grow. Soon the FWS began releasing red wolves back into the wild. Those wolves with tracking collarsspread out, paired up, and began to have pups. By 2012, red wolf numbers had hit a new high point of about 120 wolves in the wild. The program’s success led to many other programs aimed at bringing animals back from the edge of extinction.Sadly, though, wild red wolf numbers began to drop again. Some wolves were shot and others were hit by cars. As the number of adults fell. the number of pups being born also began to drop. In 2020, a total of four pups were born in the wild. In 2021, 2022 and 2023, no wild pups were born at all.So the news that six pups hatched in the wild this year is a huge boost. But the good news isn’t an accident.8．How did the FWS protect red wolves?A．It made a new law to protect them.B．It kept them in the wild.C．It moved them into a new habitat.D．It carried out a recovery program.9．What is partly responsible for the reduced number of red wolves in recent years? ?A．The lack of food B．The worsened weather.C．The illegal hunting.D．The loss of forests.10．What will be talked about in the following paragraph?A．The accidents that happened this year.B．The effort the FWS has made.C．The wishes from the researchers.D．The health condition of the pups. 11．What can be a suitable title for the passage?A．Endangered Species Act Taking Effect B．Red Wolf Pups Decreasing in the USC．Endangered Red Wolf Pups Born in the Wild D．Future Faced by Endangered RedWolvesPoppins is a new Netflix-like streaming service designed to support children with autism (自闭症). Autism influences the development of the brain and leads to various challenges in social communication, as well as people’s behavior and interests. “Many autistic children are visual (视觉的) learners, meaning they get information better through visual information. Therefore, we’ve made special TV shows and videos,” said Gilad Piker, the founder of Poppins. With the use of visual technology, Poppins mixes special programs with special users’ experiences.“It all started with my nephew when he was 15,” explained Gilad Piker. “He began to sufferfrom autism at the age of 5.” Piker noticed the boy watched cartoons and simple kids’ movies for hours, but what excited him even more were the opening logos and rolling credits (滚动字幕) at the end of a show. “When he saw them, he would stand in front of the screen. Maybe he thought it was the most exciting film he’d ever seen!” Piker added.Poppins’ specially designed TV shows and videos can offer chances for autistic children to learn social skills, such as turn-taking, sharing, and proper behavior in various situations. Autistic children are likely to find comfort and relaxation during the watching experience. Some programs also enable them to learn new words, sentences, and storytelling skills, supporting their language development and communication abilities.Proper selection and parental guidance are important when parents add TV shows and videos to an autistic child’s daily schedule. Each child is unique and interest is the best teacher, so parents should think wisely and choose suitable programs when determining the benefits of screen time.“Through Poppins, autistic children can now watch educational and entertainment programs that can meet their special needs and interests,” Piker said. “Seeing those children enjoy watching the programs provided by Poppins is an amazing experience. It reminds me of the power of technology to change lives.”12．Why are Poppins’ special programs carried out?A．To meet the learning needs of autistic children.B．To help autistic children learn new technologies.C．To recommend interesting TV programs to the public.D．To teach children how to make friends.13．What did Gilad Piker realize from his nephew’s experience?A．Autistic children’s ability to stay focused.B．Autistic children’s interest in special visual information.C．The common behavior problem of autistic children.D．The importance of spending quality time with autistic children.14．What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?A．The ideas for the design of Poppins.B．How Poppins’ programs benefit autistic children’s growth.C．How educators can help improve children’s social skills.D．The ways to encourage autistic children to use Poppins.15．What are parents advised to do when choosing visual materials for children?A．Consider children’s preferences and interests.B．Seek guidance from experts andteachers.C．Be familiar with children’s daily schedule.D．Think about the time spent on screen.In a picture book, pictures, rather than words, tell the story. It’s true that a wordless picture book lacks words for the story. But it follows all the basic requirements of a book. 16 In addition, it possesses a unique identity that is driven by an artist’s vision, which opens up windows to boundless imagination.17 The unique reality is experienced when readers interact with the pictures. The process of reading picture books is a curious interaction between the author and the readers. The readers bring their own imagination and experiences to interpret a space suggested by the author.By opening the pages of such a book, children fall into a story that requires them to provide context and clues from pictures to move the story forward. 18 So, for children who enjoy art, wordless picture books offer them the opportunity to exercise their imagination.The format also allows children to expand their critical thinking skills and creativity. Since every wordless picture book has a structure and a plot, children have to use skills such as prediction and drawing conclusions based on experiences to make sense of the story. Since there are no words, children can feel free to make up the story as they like. 19This is the essence of wordless picture books-they can become anything you want. They give a child the confidence to feel that if you can imagine it, it can exist. 20A．They can even change the ending, if they wish.B．They are attracted to the design and the colors.C．It, in turn, excites and builds up their imagination.D．For example, it has a plot, character development and so on.E．A wordless picture book takes readers into a new level of reality.F．This confidence brings out human creation, from artworks to scientific discoveries. G．Parents and their children can share their feelings by reading these books together.二、完形填空Sometimes, good news appears in small amounts in life. By holding onto a positive secret, even 21 . you can heighten its inspiring power for all parties involved.Last year, a famous shoe company launched a new pair of sneakers (运动鞋). My daughter, a sneaker-head, was 22 to acquire a pair on the release day. However, it’s widely known that these highly sought-after items would 23 rapidly.

A police chase followed, resulting in two accidents before he crashed the car. He ran away but was finally caught and faced several charges.US judge Mindy Glazer was taking charge of the case. When Arthur Booth was taken into court, the judge looked at him for a moment or two and then asked, “Did you go to Nautilus Middle School? ” “Oh my goodness, ” replied Mr. Booth several times, at first with smiles and then breaking down in tears. He repeatedly cried “Oh, my goodness. Oh, my goodness. ”In the heartbreaking scene, judge Glazer expressed her disappointment at the situation. “I always used to wonder what happened to you, sir, ” she told him. “I'm sorry to see you here. ” Mr Booth covered his head and cried as Glazer told the court, “This was the nicest kid in middle school. ” The judge said, “He was the best kid in middle school. I used to play football with him, all the kids, and look what has happened. ” Glazer said as Mr Booth continued to cry. “What's sad is how old we've become. Good luck to you sir, I hope you are able to come out of this and just lead a lawful life. ”Arthur Booth said, “Mindy has given me great encouragement. I will not give up my life. Now it is a new start for me.” Arthur Booth was a very good student, but in order to satisfy his gambling (赌博) addiction, he always engages himself in some stealing activities. As a result, he has to waste his good time in prison. Now his family hopes that the appearance of their old classmates and his own guilt can awaken his conscience.4．What was one reason for Arthur Booth’s arrest?A．He was addicted to gambling.B．He got involved in an alleged robbery.C．He was charged by his classmate.D．He ignored police order and crashed the car. 5．Why did Arthur Booth break down in tears?A．He was charged with theft.B．He was fully aware of his guilt.C．He recognized his old classmate.D．He thought of Nautilus Middle School. 6．Which of the following best describes Arthur Booth as a boy in middle school?A．Kind and well-behaved.B．Honest and generous.C．Intelligent and independent.D．Humorous and outgoing.7．What type of writing is this text?A．A diary.B．A play.C．A news story.D．A fairy tale.Art can be found almost everywhere on Earth. There are statues on mountaintops, sculptures under the sea, and art shows held in the middle of deserts. A group of over 30,000 artists has recently come together to place their works in a completely new location — the Moon. The project, named the Lunar Codex (月球密典), is dividing pieces they have gathered into five collections. The first one, the Orion (猎户座) Collection, was already sent into space to move around the Moon in 2022 on NASA's Orion spacecraft. The other four will be flown to different destinations on the Moon in future landing tasks.The Lunar Codex was founded by Canadian physicist, artist, and big businessman Samuel Peralta. Growing up with a love for both writing poetry and learning about space, Peralta dreamed of sending his poems to the Moon one day. Upon discovering that some lunar landing tasks were selling spare goods space on the ships, he booked places on five tasks. While the primary goals of these tasks are to transport lunar landers for scientific experiments, private organizations have been given the opportunity to buy any spare goods space for various purposes.The artwork included in the Lunar Codex stands for different kinds of artists and artistic forms. The collections at present have works from over 162 different countries. These include works from painters, photographers, writers, filmmakers, and more. The size of each piece of artwork will be miniaturized onto special plates that can be read with a microscope, a tool used in scientific study for making things look larger. Content such as music and movies will be saved on digital cards instead.While the idea of humanity colonizing (殖民于) the Moon was long just thought of as science fiction, countries worldwide are now seriously considering this possibility. Samuel Peralta hopes that the Lunar Codex can be the start of art and culture and later even humanity colonization on the Moon.8．How did Samuel Peralta realize his dream?A．By writing a book of poems about space.B．By founding a space transportation company.C．By travelling through NASA’s Orion spacecraft.D．By buying spare goods space on lunar landing tasks.9．What does the underlined word “miniaturized” in Paragraph 3 most probably mean?A．Reduced.B．Simplified.C．Copied.D．Enlarged. 10．What can we learn from the last paragraph?A．Colonizing the moon is just a human imagination at present.B．The idea of colonizing the moon has been a popular scientific theory.C．The Moon is always considered an ideal location for human colonization.D．The Lunar Codex may be the beginning of humanity colonizing the moon.11．What is the best title of the text?A．The Task of NASA B．Art on the MoonC．An Art and Space Lover D．The Moon ColonizationKiller whales are mama’s boys. A son will follow his mother, taking bits of fish and other food, throughout his life, even as his sisters grow up and have babies of their own. This neediness comes at a significant cost to mom, who gives up having additional children to look after her boy, according to a new study.Michael Weiss has observed the mother-son bond (纽带) in killer whale groups off the Pacific coast of North America. These animals live for tens of years, yet even fully grown males “act like little kids around their mom, swimming right beside her like they’re still babies”.Weiss wanted to know whether these children came at a cost — particularly, whether they hurt a mother’s fertility (生育能力) . He and his team studied 40 years’ worth of data on three Pacific pods (小群动物) . Sure enough, the team found a “huge effect”.In a given year, mothers of sons were less than half as likely to have another baby as were childless females or mothers of daughters. Noticeably, both a 3-year-old son and an 18-year-old son lowered their mom’s chances of having more children, Weiss says.The researchers suggest mom’s favoritism toward her boys developed because of the particular social structure of these pods. When a daughter gives birth, her babies stay in the same group and therefore compete with the rest for food and attention. By contrast, a son doesn’t bring more mouths into the group — he mates with females in passing pods who then go on to raise children in their own social units.His kids are thus “someone else’s problem”, Weiss explains. So, it makes sense for mom to give more energy to him than to his sisters if she wants as many grandchildren as possible with the least competition. The team didn’t find out exactly how sons prevented their mothers from having more babies. Weiss says he hopes to do more research in different species of whales. But now, killer whales remain an extreme example of parental care across the animal kingdom. “In other animals,” he says, “at some point, you just stop depending on your mom as much.”12．What's the main topic of the article?A．The social structure of killer whale pods.B．The difference in parental care across different whales.C．The behavior of male killer whales towards their mothers.D．The impact of mother-son bond on female killer whales’ fertility.13．What can we learn about a mother killer whale’s chance of having more babies?A．A mother of a son won’t have another baby.B．It is obviously reduced when she has a son.C．A mother of daughters has the least chance.D．It changes with the social structure of the pod.14．Why do mother killer whales favor their boys?A．To gain support from boys.B．To compete with other pods.C．To reduce competition for resources.D．To develop the pod’s population.15．What does Weiss think of the mother-son bond in killer whale groups?A．It is not common in nature.B．It shows that killer whales have feelings.C．It doesn’t exist in other species of whales.D．It slows male killer whales’ development.CyclingMany people enjoy cycling as a hobby. Cycling is an activity that can be enjoyed by people of all ages and it is one of the most popular forms of exercise in the world.16 When you are cycling, every one of your muscles (肌肉) is doing something. This hobby can make your body do all the exercise to stay fit.TechniquesTechniques for cycling vary greatly depending on the type of cycling involved. Sprint (冲刺) cycling is a lot like sprint running and a lot of the muscles activities are involved. 17 They give a large amount of pressure on the bicycle pedals to get them going at a fast speed.For distance cycling, the most important is endurance (耐力) and many top class distance cyclists spend many hours doing endurance leg exercises.Equipment18 You don’t need expensive equipment to get started but, there is a minimum amount needed for your health: Helmet (头盔) — Don’t ever ride without one whether it is local law or not. Wearing a helmet can save your life, or at least make the difference between a bad headache and a severe head injury. Gloves — I have a pair of these, and you could consider them important. They absorb shock from the handles, but more importantly, if you crash, your hands are protected. Glasses — To some, these are a must. 19SafetyAlways be safe on the road. Do not be daring, do not insist on the right of way, do not break traffic, and always be as visible as possible. 20A．It is a sport that uses the whole body.B．These are a must if you ride after dark.C．For this, one needs to have strong leg muscles.D．It is important if you want to transport anything on your bike.E．They block bugs and other objects from hitting you in the eyes.F．Cycling, more than many other forms of sports, requires some necessary items.G．If you know the most common causes of accidents, you can be always careful.二、完形填空My dad is the best horseshoe pitcher (投手) in Webly County, and I aim to be the same.

陕西省西安市2023-2024学年高一上学期期中考试英语试题姓名：__________班级：__________考号：__________题号一二三四五总分评分一、第一部分阅读，第一节阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
(共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)阅读理解A British sleep expert,professor Chris Idzikowski,did a research showing that there was some connection between the way people sleep and their personality.The fetal positionThe fetal position gets its name from the shape of a baby in the mother's stomach.It is the most common position in the world.People who sleep in the fetal position tend towards worry and anxiety.They are often shy and sensitive.In the fetal position,a sleeper's body is like a ball as he lies on one side with legs and arms bent.Adults usually sleep in this position.The starfish positionWhen sleeping like a starfish,you lie on your back with arms up near the pillow.Sleep scientist Idzikowski says starfish sleepers value friendship.People who sleep in this position are good listeners and quick to help others.If you have a starfish sleeper as a best friend,you're in luck.Starfish sleepers are great listeners and a source of comfort to others.The freefall positionIn the freefall position,sleepers have their hands on or around their pillows,with their heads turned to one side. Freefall sleepers are social but sensitive and can become upset by extreme situations.They like to be in control of everything around their life.It's all part of their long periods of indecision,but once they make a choice,they stick to it. This position can aid in digestion(消化).The log positionFor those who suffer from back pain,the log position could be helpful for you.Log sleepers have both their arms and legs extended,so their bodies are straight like a log.Log sleepers are very trusting,but are usually social and easy-going individuals.Idzikowski claims that preferring a log position suggests that a person is sociable and can communicate with others easily.1．What's the personality of people sleeping in fetal position?A．Social and easy-going.B．Sensitive and social.C．Friendly and positive.D．Shy and sensitive.2．Which of the following is most suitable to be a friend?A．A fetal sleeper.B．A starfish sleeper.C．A freefall sleeper.D．A log sleeper.3．What can we know about log sleepers?A．They do well in sports.B．They are good listeners.C．They are easy to get along with.D．They have difficulty making decisions.阅读理解The world will become a better place when we realize that everyone can have bad days and that we care enough and take actions.A Kansas fourth-grade teacher Rachel Harder recognized this,and she found an amazing way to help out both her students and their families.A few years ago,Rachel attended a trauma(精神创伤)conference.She learned that some police stations partnered with schools.They could let teachers know when their students need help,patience or extra care.A year after the conference,Rachel had a student with autism who frequently had difficult days.To support the student,Rachel told the student's mom to simply text her"Handle with Care"to let her know when the student was experiencing difficult time."When she would text me,I knew that her daughter needed some extra time and a quiet place to get help,not going to the playground for morning announcements(通告),so that the rest of her daughter's day went well,"Rachel said.The simple method was such a success that Rachel decided to send all of her students home with a note for their parents.It explained what the"Handle with Care"system was and how they could make use of it.In no time,the parents began to show their appreciation for Rachel's unbelievable act of kindness.But Rachel's kindness didn't end with her class.News spread of the amazing system,and teachers across the country began giving it a shot in their own class.Printed materials could be found on the school website,and the feedback(反馈)has been extremely positive!4．What happened to Rachel a few years ago?A．She met with a policeman.B．She noticed some students in need.C．She acted as a host at a contest.D．She raised a girl with autism.5．What can we imagine Rachel probably did to the girl student?A．She asked to stop the morning announcements.B．She talked with her in the playground.C．She took her home ahead of time.D．She comforted her at a quiet place.6．How did the parents treat Rachel's system?A．They paid no attention to it.B．They changed it in daily use.C．They accepted it thankfully.D．They introduced it to others personally.7．What is the text mainly about?A．A proper system.B．A considerate teacher.C．A story going online.D．A class influencing the nation.阅读理解The characteristic(特征)of shyness is to feel frightened and nervous in new social situations or when being the center of attention.Whether shyness is part of your children's personality or just something they feel when they are in front of a group of strangers,it is a common experience,according to a study.To look at shyness,researchers brought152children aged7-8into a lab and told them they would give a speech, which would be filmed and shown to other children.The study showed that about10%of the children showed a level of stress over time when giving the speech.About25%of the children were not reported to be shy in the eyes of their parents,but in fact showed a level of social stress from giving the speech.This finding provides the fact that shyness may be a part of these children's temperament(性情).For children at this age,shyness may be a quite common and normal experience when they face a speech task.For a smaller group of shy children,however,being the center of attention may be stressful at different times and environments.A shy temperament isn't always valued by society like an outgoing personality,but that doesn't mean there is something wrong.Everyone can feel shy at times depending on the environment.And those who are particularly shy often have happy social lives—they just aren't likely to be the liveliest people in a crowded room.Although shyness itself may not necessarily be a problem,parents should pay attention to signs of worry, particularly in their shy children.Importantly,however,we know that not all shy children are the same,and that many shy children grow up to be well-balanced adults.8．What can we learn from paragraph1?A．Shyness is not an unusual characteristic.B．Shyness is born with personality.C．Shyness will appear when one is in public.D．Shyness means not communicating with others.9．What is the finding of the study?A．Few kids like to give a speech to others.B．Some kids can get shy while giving speeches.C．Some kids appear less shy with their parents.D Some kids are stressed when being separated.10．What does the author advise parents to do when facing shy children?A．Bring them to crowded space.B．Care for them and give them confidence.C．Keep them away from shyness.D．Let them be alone.11．What can be the best title for the text?A．When are people shy?B．Ways of beating shynessC．Why is shyness a bad thing?D．The discoveries about shyness阅读理解Humans are not the animal world's only fashion followers.Tits(山雀)can be one of them,too.A study by Sonja Wild and Lucy Aplin shows that,given the chance,they make their nests(巢穴)with this season's must-have color.Dr.Wild and Dr.Aplin followed up on a study which noted that the blue tits preferred to put the same plants into their nests.This also suggested fashion-following—and it led Dr.Wild and Dr.Aplin to imagine that birds were studying the nests of others and copying them.The birds they followed carried instruments on them.That allowed researchers to follow a large number of tits by their arrival at food dispensers(自动取物装置)throughout the woods.One day in March2021,Dr.Wild and Dr.Aplin used five dispensers with wool rather than food.Each contained two colors—either orange and pink or blue and purple—but all were rigged to give only one of these.This remained so until at least one local nest was seen to include wool from a dispenser.At that moment,the other color was discovered, too.As a comparison,Dr.Wild and Dr.Aplin set up four wool dispensers in a separate area,each providing two colors from the beginning.Of68tits'nests,26included wool from a dispenser.Of these,18were built after both colors had been gotten from all dispensers.Even so,10of that18included only the color of wool first chosen by a nest makers.By contrast(相比之下),all8nests with wool have mixed colors,which showed a clear difference in the record.Tits,then,do seem to be"in fashion"when it comes to nest-building materials.Tits like those of the leaders of human fashions and it is worth more deep research.12．Why are the same plants put into nests by the tits?A．They want to beautify their nests.B．They find no other plants.C．They are used to doing this.D．They want to keep warm.13．What does the underlined word"rigged"in paragraph4mean?A．Refused.B．Warned.C．Forced.D．Arranged.14．What method is mainly used in the experiment?A．Testing colors.B．Observing activities.C．Comparing results.D．Checking numbers.15．What is the author's attitude to the research?A．Disappointed.B．Supportive C．Doubtful.D．Unclear.二、第一部分阅读，第二节任务型阅读(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

Playing basketball or having a talk with yourclassmates can relax yourself.Time out is not a waste of time but helps you studymore efficiently.Besides taking the College Entrance Examination,you have other choices forcollege.Some students even apply for studying abroad.Pay attention to the usefulinformation you can find,whether it's from school,the news media or othersources.4．What should you do if you want to keep your friendship fresh?A．Have small talks with them.B．Always have lunch with them.C．Make them at some distance.D．Keep connected by some means.5．The third paragraph is mainly aboutA．Health B．study C．Relaxation D．friendship6．What does the underlined phrase Time out in Paragraph4probably mean?A．An activity without a break.B．Sleeping outdoors.C．A break from studying.D．Studying outside.7．Who is the passage mainly written for?A．Teachers.B．Students.C．Parents.D．Leaders.阅读理解A quick walk onto a frozen pond(池塘)could have been a disaster for thesetwo boys.Cruz Genet,11,and Anthony Skopick,10,couldn't agree more.Were thebirds out on the ice ducks or geese?There was only one way to find out.So on acold January evening last year,the two friends walked onto the frozen pond neartheir homes to get a better look.First,they threwa rock onto the ice to test it.Believing the ice would holdtheir weight,Anthony tooka few steps, and then he erashed through the seminglyfrozen surface."There was no sound and no crack,he told the reporter."I just fellthrough immediately."Cruz rushed to help his frightened friend.And he fell in the pond,too.Cruzmanaged to lift himself out of the water and onto a harder part.He then carefullyworked his way toward Anthony,but he fell in the pond again.This time. hecouldn't get out.The two boys were in icy cold water and quickly losing feeling in their limbs(四肢).Cruz was sure that he wasgoing to die.Anthony's older sister had seen the boys fall through the ice and startedshouting for help.John Lavin,a neighbor driving nearby on his way to the store,heard her.He quickly pulled over.Seeing the boys,he took a nearby buoy(浮标)，kicked off his shoes,and ran into the vin made his way to Cruz andAnthony and drew them back to land. They were taken to hospital,where doctorsdiscovered that their five-minute stay in the water had lowered their bodytemperature nearly ten degrees.Luckily,the boys have fully recovered,though they are still a little awestruck(敬畏的)by their fearless neighbor. "Just to think,"says Cruz,"if he hadn't beenthere,I could have died."8．Why did the boys go to the frozen pondA．They had planned to go skating on the ice for a medal.B．They wondered whether the ice could hold their weight.C．They wanted to have a better understanding at the pond.D．They were curious about what birds there were on the ice.9．Before the boys walked onto the ice,A．they threw a rock to test if the ice was strong enoughB．they caught a nearby buoy and kicked off their shoesC．they asked their neighbor who should be the first to goD．they asked Anthony's older sister to protect them nearby10．What did Cruz do when Anthony fell into the pondA．He went to find a buoy nearby.B．He went to his neighbor for help.C．He rushed in to help his friend.D．He went to ask for his sister's help.11．What can we infer from this passageA．A stranger passing by rescued the two boys at last.B．The two boys were very thankful to their neighbor.C．Cruz fell into the pond with Anthony at the same time.D．Anthony's older sister invited the two boys to the pond.阅读理解As climate change quickly advances,many Middle Eastern countries aremaking the change from oil-based economies to ones that attract people fromaround the world—for travelling,business,work or to live.One such example is NEOM to be built in Saudi Arabia.A key part ofNEOM is"The Line",a$725billionfuturistic city designed to house9millionpeople.It is a mirrored(镜子)wall-like building200meters wide and500 meterstall.To be built in north-western Tabuk province,the project will spread170kilometres from the Red Sea across deserts,mountains and valleys.At first look,the project appears environmentally impressive.The city area isno more than100metres from any point in the city.A high-speed electric publictransport service makes sure every part of"The Line"is within20minutes away.Unluckily,as in many high-rise buildings with a large population inside,a vertical(垂直的)transportation would be needed,for it is just like a125-floor building.The project costs also seem OK at$55,000per person.Let's say this isachievable in a country like Saudi Arabia and only covers infrastructure(基础设施).Even so,it remains to be seen how super-high-speed transport and mostadvanced infrastructure and services within the hugest building ever built can becost-effective.The Line is planned for green living.Energy comes from renewable sources,waste water is reused,and it owns the latest"smart city"and mixed-use buildingtechnologies.Car ownership is avoided in favour of walking,cycling and publictransport.However,the materials to be used and the building of such a big projectcould be very harmful to the environment. The plan says no one would be morethan two minutes from nature.But does this include the waiting times for a liftWithout careful design,a high dependence on vertical transportation may ruin thepleasure of walkable or bicycle-friendly areas.12．Why will"The Line"be built in Saudi ArabiaA．To take a step towards green economies.B．To attract more tourists from all over the world.C．To house the increasing population in Saudi Arabia.D．To make preparations for a project known as NEOM.13．How does the author introduce"The Line"in paragraph2?A．By showing an example.B．By designing drawings.C．By making a comparison.D．By supplying numbers.14．What do we know about"The Line"?A．It will surely cost S725million to build.B．It will be wholly environmentally friendly.C．It will require a vertical transportation.D．It will be a125-floor building for certain.15．What does the author think of"The Line"?A．Unclear.B．Doubtful.C．Indifferent.D．Hopeful.二、第一部分阅读理解，第二节任务型阅读（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。
