English speakers are always creating new words, and we are often able to know where most words come from.Sometimes, however, no one may really know where a word comes from. Did you ever think about why hamburgers (汉堡包) are called hamburgers, especially when they are not made with ham (火腿)? About a hundred years ago, some men went to America from Europe. They came from a big city in Germany called Hamburg. They did not speak good English, but they ate good food. When some Americans saw them eating round pieces of beef, they asked the Germans what it was. The Germans did not understand the question and answered, “We come from Hamburg.” One of these Americans owned a restaurant, and had an idea. He cooked some round pieces of beef like those which the men from Hamburg ate. Then he put each between two pieces of bread and started selling them. Such bread came to be called “hamburgers”. Today “hamburgers” are sold in many countries around the world.Whether this story is true or not, it certainly is interesting. Knowing why any word has a certain meaning is interesting, too. This reason, for most English words, can be found in any large English dictionary.4.About a hundred years ago, Hamburg was .A.An American city B.a Chinese cityC.the name of a village D.a city in GermanyA.beef, bread B.only made with beefC.bread, potato D.only made with bread6.According to the writer, which of the following can often be found in any large English dictionary?A.Where all the new words come fromB.Where those Germans came fromC.The reason why an English word has a certain meaningD.The reason why English is spoken around the worldA.China because it has a long historyB.England because Germans don’t speak good EnglishC.the round pieces of beef which those people from Hamburg were eatingD.English speakers because they always create new wordsFor years, you’ve been told that stress can be deadly and is something to be avoided. Therefore, an anxious situation is often accompanied by a sense of fear. However, recent studies suggest that stress-related harmful effects on your health are not unavoidable.One study followed 30,000 people over eight years and measured their stress levels. Those who believed that stress is harmful died at a higher rate than those who were under stress but didn’t acknowledge the so-called negative effects. The latter group was healthier, and many of them lived long, happy lives.Stressful feelings start out in a small region of the brain that affects how people feel emotions, especially fear. The small region is very sensitive to possible threats. When it senses danger, it alerts the brain, and feelings of fear or stress can result. These feelings give people a warning message when they need to pay attention and when they need to take action. For instance, when the sight of a speeding car triggers (触发) the region to release a lightning-fast message, we know immediately to move out of the way!Another study carried by Health psychologist Dr. McGonigal found a link between stress and the amount of sympathy people showed to others. Researchers tracked 1,000 adults, their descriptions of the level of stress in their lives and the amount of time spent helping others. With each major stressful event, such as a family tragedy or financial crisis, the risk of dying increased by 30 percent. But for the group who spent time helping others, there was no increase in stress-related deaths, even for those who had faced their own personal tragedies. According to Dr. McGonigal, “Chasing meaning is better for your health than trying to avoid discomfort. Go after what it is that creates meaning in your life and then trust yourself to handle the stress that follows.”8.What does the study in paragraph 2 suggest?A.Stress caused many deaths over eight years.B.Stress won’t hurt you if you don’t acknowledge its presence.C.It is not the stress but our response to it that creates problems.D.Those without stress usually live long and happy lives.9.What do we know about stress from paragraph 3?A.Stress is harmful to the brain.B.Stress can cause danger.C.Stress can be a threat to us.D.Stress can lead to timely action.10.What can we learn from Dr. McGonigal’s study?A.People without stress spend more time caring others.B.Stress often causes a family tragedy or financial crisis.C.Stress can be avoided by helping others.D.People chasing meaning in life suffer less from stress.11.Which may be the best title for the text?A.Stress Is Not Your Enemy B.Man Can Conquer StressC.We Need Remove Stress D.Stress Is Nearly HarmlessEmpathy and generosity are two qualities that arguably make the world go round. But a study suggests that the willingness to help crashes when people get too little sleep.To prove it, researchers conducted three experiments designed to examine the issue from the individual to the societal scale.In the first experiment, researchers performed functional magnetic resonance (磁共振) imaging scans of the brain and questioned 24 adults after an eight-hour-sleep night and after a sleepless night. When they rested well, the participants scored well on a helping behavior test. But after sleep loss, 78 percent had less of a desire to help others, even when it came to friends and family. The scans showed that areas of the brains associated with social cognition — our thought processes related to other people — were less active with sleep loss.The second experiment tracked 136 healthy adults over four nights and asked them questions about helping the following day. The effect held for them, too.To test the effects on a societal level, the researchers then looked at a database of 3 million charitable donations given between 2001 and 2016. They found that immediately following the beginning of daylight saving time (DST 夏令时)— a notorious sleep disrupter — donations dropped 10 percent. The effect wasn’t found in data from Hawaii or Arizona,however, neither observe DST.Why bother studying how helpful people are when we don’t get enough shut-eye? “We’re starting to see more studies, where the effects of sleep loss don’t just stop at the individual, but extend to those around us,” said Eti Ben Simon, a scientist who co-wrote the study, in a news release. “If you’re not getting enough sleep, it doesn’t just hurt your own well-being, it hurts that of your entire social circle, including strangers.”There’s a silver lining to all that ungenerous behavior, the researchers write: Unlike personality quality, sleep can be modified — and both getting enough and helping others do the same might make for a better world.12.On which level were the first two experiments made?A.The world level.B.The individual level.C.The societal level.D.The family level.13.What can we learn about the experiments from the text?A.The sleep quality determined people’s desire to help.B.Our brains would become inactive for lack of sleep.C.The first two experiments’ results were the same.D.DST influenced the donations in all examined areas.14.Why do researchers bother to conduct such a study according to Eti Ben Simon?A.Because they want to solve the sleep loss problem.B.Because they want more people to donate money.C.Because sleep loss has greater impacts than we assume.D.Because it will prevent people from hurting their well-being.15.Which is the most suitable title for the text?A.Scientists Found Solid Evidence for Sleep LossB.Two Significant Qualities — Empathy and GenerosityC.Sound Sleep Contributes to a Better PersonD.Too Little Sleep Makes People Less Generous二、七选五The cost of traveling to and from your destination can be the most expensive part of theto share some ways with you to get more for your vacation budget.•Book accommodations with valuable“freebies(免费品).We love finding a place to stay that offers free breakfast.Not only does it save some cash, but it is hugely convenient!17 .Pick a hotel that is convenient to where you will be spending the most time.Not only will it save you huge amounts of time, but it will save you money on local transportation!•Be creative 18 .When we went to the Eiffel Tower, the lines for the elevator were super long.We noticed a different line that was shorter as we stood waiting.We learned that we could take the stairs without waiting in hardly any line, and it was much cheaper than taking the elevator!• 19 .We are always looking for something free when we buy tickets to visit museums or book day trips.Whenever you can combine different activities into one price, and especially if there is a meal involved.it can be worth it.•Consider" City Passes".You may have seen them advertised all over tourism websites."City passes"will get you all sorts of free admission, transportation and discounts.20A.Don't go with the crowdB.Also, location is a major factorC.You are lucky to have free mealsD.Combine activities when possibleE.Research“Must-See” attraction websitesF.You don't want to spend less time on your tripG.It's a convenient offer for tourists who care about their budget三、完形填空Every night, even long after my childhood years, she would come to me, push my longagain and again.

Many Chinese people are planning to visit red tourism attractions during their free time. The following are some red tourism sites in Shanghai.Former Site of the Editorial Department of New YouthRevolutionary magazine New Youth, which created the New Culture Movement and spread the influence of the May Fourth Movement, was established by Chen Duxiu in Shanghai in 1915. The editorial office moved to Beijing in 1917 when Chen Duxiu was head of liberal arts at Peking University but moved back to Shanghai three years later.Address: No.2, Lane 100, Nanchang Road, Huangpu DistrictFormer Residence of Chen WangdaoThis three-storied building was the home of famous scholar and educator Chen Wangdao. In 1920, Chen completed the first Chinese translation of The Communist Manifesto (《共产党宜言》). He also served as President of Fudan University from 1952 to 1977.Address: 51 Guofu Road, Yangpu DistrictHuangpu Wharf (码头)Huangpu Wharf in Yangpu District was the place about 650 Chinese students who headed to France from March 1919 to December 1920 to further their studies. They included Zhou Enlai, later the first premier of the People’s Republic of China (PRC), and Deng Xiaoping, later the leader of the PRC.Address: 32 Qinghuangdao Road, Yangpu DistrictThe Memorial of the Site of the First National Congress of the Communist Party of ChinaThe two-storied building was completed in 1920 as the residence of CPC founding member Li Hanjun. On July 23, 1921, thirteen members held their first national congress of the Communist Party of China here, marking the birth of the Party.Address: 76 Xingye Road, Huangpu District1.When did the editorial office of New Youth return to Shanghai?A.In 1915.B.In 1919.C.In 1920.D.In 1921. 2.What do we know about Chen Wangdao according to the text?A.He went to France for further study.B.He established the Now Youth magazine.C.He held the first national congress of the CPC.D.He first translated The Communist Manifest o into Chinese.3.From which site did Zhou Enlai head to France for further study?A.Huangpu Wharf.B.Former Residence of Chen Wangdao.C.Former Site of the Editorial Department of the New Youth.D.The Memorial of the Site of the First National Congress of the Communist. 4.Which site was the birthplace of the Communist Party of China?A.Huangpu Wharf.B.Former Residence of Chen Wangdao.C.Former Site of the Editorial Department of the New Youth.D.The Memorial of the Site of the First National Congress of the Communist.5.The text is mainly written for those who want to______.A.arrange a red tour in their spare time.B.know some famous people in Chinese history better.C.spread the influence of the May Fourth Movement.D.give a report on the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China.Not Even WrongMy eight-year-old son, lack, is a boy with autism (孤独症). Even though I always hear from others that he is very bright and he is making enough progress to meet goals, I am still anxious walking into their parents’ meetings.Last fall’s parents’ meeting was even worse for me. I noticed Jack making a great effort to keep up with others. Some parents watched Jack and whispered (窃窃私语) and no children were willing to play with him. I started to see the social divide between Jack and his peers (同龄人) widening.After the parents’ meeting, his teacher spent long time talking to me. She told me that it was getting more difficult for Jack to meet goals just because he was bright. Some teachers and students always complained (抱怨) about Jack’s actions. She also advised me to think about whether the normal class was the best setting for him. Hearing these words, I was very upset.Then she blew my mind. She showed me one example of Jack’s works and said, “I didn’t know how to grade this. It’s not even wrong, but it’s not right.” I grasped when she said “not even wrong”, which is the name of one of my favorite books on autism, by Paul Collins. The book says a girl whose idea is so far off base but it is not even wrong. It perfectly describes autism and it perfectly describes Jack.In his book, Paul Collins wrote, “Children with autism are like the square pegs (钉,桩). Hitting a square peg into a round hole is hard work. What’s worse, it’s destroying the square pegs.”As a mother of a boy with autism, I want to help find more square holes. I want this world to be a world where it is okay to be a square peg without having to pretend to be round. We have been hammering (锤打) square pegs into round holes for a long time. Now we should put down the hammers. And I hope that some of those kids told their parents. And I hope that some of you read this and tell your kids. And I hope that we, all of us together, CAN change the world.6.Last fall’s parents’ meeting______.A.gave more joy to the author B.left the author quite concernedC.frightened the author greatly D.seemed wonderful for the author 7.What does the underlined word “divide” in the second paragraph mean?A.Impression.B.Personality.C.Difference.D.Brightness. 8.When the teacher said “not even wrong”, she meant______.A.Jack had been entirely wrong B.she actually told a white lieC.she just tried to please the author D.Jack had a special thinking style 9.According to Paragraph 5, Paul Collins agrees that______.A.a round hole fits a square pegB.hitting can never destroy the square pegsC.children with autism tend to be hard-workingD.people should let children with autism be themselves10.What is the author’s purpose of writing this passage?A.To change people’s opinion on autism.B.To give some examples of autism.C.To advise people to buy a book on autism.D.To warn people of the risk ofautism.Dunhuang Academy together with Huawei launched a brand-new technology-driven tour experience at the Mogao Grottoes on the evening of April 8. Using Huawei’s newly-released Hetu artificial intelligence platform, coupled with the output of the Digital Dunhuang project, visitors to the Mogao Grottoes can enjoy a fantasy experience prior to entering the attraction.Zhao Shengliang, director of the Dunhuang Acadcmy, said that it has been cooperating with Huawei since March 2019. Using Huawei’s latest Hetu technology, visitors are able to see the detailed contents of the Dunhuang Art Murals (壁画) outside the caves, through their Huawei mobile phones. This will reduce the time tourists spend inside the cave, aiding the protection of the cultural relics, while at the same time helping to increase the amount of information visitors can obtain. It is also considered to be a new way of promoting Dunhuang Art.The Dunhuang Academy has used digital technology to preserve the research and exploration of Dunhuang Grottoes since the early 1990s. It has collected a wealth of data and has realized the goal of sharing of digital Dunhuang globally. It has played an important role in the protection and research of cultural site, as well as promoting the development and progress of related work.The Huawei Hetu platform unites Dunhuang’s study findings, high-resolution images of the site’s murals and virtual, three-dimensional models with the real Mogao Grottoes. It has not only re-created the real tour of the scenic spot, but also developed a new way of digitally experiencing the grottoes. When people visit the site, they not only have the experience of seeing the real grottoes, but they can appreciate the admirable artworks more clearly and in greater detail.In the future, Dunhuang Academy will continue to cooperate with Huawei to create more colorful virtual content to enrich the experience of Mogao Art on the platform, helping people around the world get to know Dunhuang Art better.11.Which is NOT the advantage of the Hetu technology?A.Help to protect the cultural relics.B.Reduce the time visitors spend inside thecave.C.Decrease the cost of the visitors.D.Provide more information for tourists. 12.How long has the Dunhuang Academy used digital technology?A.About a year.B.10 years.C.More than 30 years.D.90 years. 13.What does the underlined word “it” in the third paragraph refer to?A.The Dunhuang Academy.B.The digital technology.C.Dunhuang Grottoes.D.The development and progress of related work.14.What’s the author’s attitude towards the cooperation between Dunhuang and Huawei?A.Hopeful.B.Opposed.C.Indifferent.D.Doubtful.15.What is the best title for the text?A.Huawei Newly Released Hetu Al.B.Dunhuang Grottoes Attract Tourists.C.Dunhuang Academy Preserves Grottoes Well.D.Al Tech Helps Tourists Enjoy Dunhuang’s Art.二、七选五How to Be Productive During Difficult TimesWhen we are struggling, or when we have a hard time focusing, we may turn to others for help. We may even wish we had a hero to help us. Well, today here is some advice for you.Turn ourselves into our own heroes.When we make ourselves heroes, we not only gain focus but also a sense of purpose.16 For example, it can give us hope as stories in the books often do. In stories, writers often give their hero, the main person in the story, a purpose. 17Write out our tasks and ideas.In stories, heroes also have tasks, which they want to finish and ideas, which they see for themselves. So we can write out our tasks and ideas, not just for a project but for our life as well. With clear tasks and ideas, events in our life no longer seem to be separate events.18 There's just a lot of value in having tasks and ideas.19 When we know our strengths, we can use them fully. In difficult times, we can make our life easier by focusing on our strengths. It is even more important to identify weaknesses. All heroes have them. On their journey they face their weaknesses and learn from them.Have small goals within a larger goal.As we know, the hero's journey is not a one—time thing. It is a journey we are on in our entire life. 20 Our life's journey is ongoing and ever—changing. We should be realistic with our goals and to be kind to ourselves, especially during difficult times.A.Learn from heroes in stories.B.We often live a life without purpose.C.Know our strengths and weaknesses.D.They become part of our larger stories.E.So have small goals that we can measure in some way.F.We can do the same for ourselves and identify our purposes.G.Making ourselves the heroes in our own stories helps us in many ways.三、完形填空you.

Each of her objects had its place, but mine always hid somewhere. She even labeled (贴标签) everything. I always looked for everything. Over time, Kate got neater and I got messier. She would push my dirty clothing over, and I would lay my books on her tidy desk. We both got tired of each other.War broke out one evening. Kate came into the room. Soon, I heard her screaming, “Take your shoes away! Why under my bed!” Deafened, I saw my shoes flying at me. I jumped to my feet and started yelling. She yelled back louder.The room was filled with anger. We could not have stayed together for a single minute but for a phone call. Kate answered it. From her end of the conversation, I could tell right away her grandma was seriously ill. When she hung up, she quickly crawled (爬) under her covers, sobbing.Obviously, that was something she should not go through phone. All of a sudden, a warm feeling of sympathy rose up in my heart. Slowly, I collected the pencils, took back the books, made my bed, cleaned the socks and swept the floor, even on her side. I got so into my work that I even didn’t noticed Kate had sat up.She was watching, her tears dried and her expression one of disbelief. Then, she reached out her hands to grasp mine. I looked up into her eyes. She smiled at me, “Thanks.”Kate an d I stayed roommates for the rest of the year. We didn’t always agree, but we learned the key to living together: giving in, cleaning up and holding on.5. How is Paragraph l mainly developed?A.By showing differences. B.By analyzing causes.C.By describing a process. D.By following time order.6. Which word can replace the underlined word “sobbing” in the third paragraph?A.coughing B.moaning C.whispering D.weeping7. The author tidied up the room most probably because ______.A.she wanted to show her care B.she was asked by Kate to do soC.she was scared by Kate’s anger D.she hated herself for being so messy8. What might be the best title for the story?A.How to Make Friends B.Hard Work Pays OffC.Learning to Be Roommates D.How to Be OrganizedIn 2020, Pink launched the World Regret Survey, the largest survey on the topic ever undertaken. With his research team, Pink asked more than 15, 000 people in 105 countries, “How often do you look back on your life and wish you had done things differently?” Most of them said regret was at least an occasional part of their life. About 21 percent said they felt regretful all the time. Only 1 percent said they never felt regretful.If you are of the “no regrets” school of life, you may think that all this regre t is a recipe for unhappiness. But that isn’t the case. Letting yourself be overwhelmed by regret is indeed bad for you. But going to the other extreme may be even worse. To extinguish your regrets doesn’t free you from shame or sorrow but causes you to make the same mistakes again and again. To truly get over our guilt requires that we put regret in its proper place.Uncomfortable as it is, regret is an amazing cognitive(认知的) feature. It requires that you go back to a past scene. Imagine that you acted differently to change it, and with that new scene in mind, arrive at a different present-and then, compare that fictional present with the one you are experiencing in reality. Not all regrets are the same, of course. Pink says they come in four basic types, and an instance of regret may involve just one combination.Many connection regrets overlap (重叠) with moral regrets, which can come about after you go against your own values. For example, you may pride yourself on being a loving person, and thus regret not living up to this image in the relationship you harmed. Moral regrets can also involve just yourself. Maybe you regret not living up to your promise to your health when you ate a whole pizza or skipped the gym.If not analyzed(分析) and managed, any kind of regret can be harmful to your well-being. Regret is linked to depression and anxiety, and too much regret can negatively affect your immune system. But regret doesn’t have to be put aside and ignored.9. What could be concluded from Pink’s research?A.Half of the people felt regretful. B.Most people lived without regrets.C.None could live a life without regrets. D.Most of the people had regrets.10. What does the underlined word “extinguish” in paragraph 2 mean?A.Destroy. B.Admit. C.Treasure. D.Experience.11. What is paragraph 4 mainly about?A.The harm of moral regrets.B.The importance of promise.C.The relationship between regrets and values.D.The connection between reality and imagination.12. What might the author continue talking about?A.Types of regrets. B.Causes of regrets.C.Benefits of experiencing regrets. D.Ways of dealing with regrets.By far the most common difficulty in study is simple failure to get down to regular concentrated work. This difficulty is much greater for those who do not work to a plan and have no regular routine of study. Many students muddle along, doing a bit of this subject or that, as the mood takes them, or letting their set work pile up until the last possible moment.Few students work to a set timetable. They say that if they did construct a timetable for themselves they would not keep to it, or would have to alter it constantly, since they can never predict from one day to the next what their activities will be.No doubt some temperaments(性格) take much more kindly to a regular routine than others. There are many who shy away from the self-regimentation (严格控制) of a weekly timetable, and dislike being tied down to a definite program me of work. Many able students claim that they work in cycles. When they become interested in a topic they work on it intensively for three or four days at a time. On other days they avoid work completely. It has to be confessed that we do not fully understand the complexities of the motivation to work. Most people over 25 years of age have been used to a work routine, and the majority of really productive workers set aside regular hours for the more important aspects of their work. The “tough-minded” school of workers is usually very contemptuous(蔑视的)of the idea that good work can only be done spontaneously(自发地、本能地), under the influence of inspiration.Those who believe that they need only work and study as the fit takes them have a mistaken belief either in their own talent or in the value of “freedom”. Freedom from discipline leads to unhappiness rather than to “self-expression” or “personality development”. Our society insists on regular habits, timekeeping and punctuality(准时), and whether we like it or not, if we mean to make our way in society we have to comply(遵守) with its demands.13. What is the most widespread problem in applying oneself to study?A.Applying oneself to a subject only when one wants to.B.Failing to keep to a routine of intensive work.C.willingness to follow a systematic plan.D.changing from one subject to another.14. What does the expression “as the fit takes them” in Paragraph 4 mean?A.when they are in the mood B.when they have the energyC.when they feel fit D.when they find conditions suitable15. What might be the most suitable title for the passage?A.Attitudes to Study B.Study and Self-disciplineC.Study Plans D.The Difficulties in StudyLacking chances to practise English? Thinking in English can bring you a huge step closer to fluency! It is not very difficult. 16 Today, we will share some mental exercises with you.A good first step is to think in individual words. Look around you. What do you see?17 As you continue with this, it becomes a habit. Things are going to flash into your head—computer, telephone, chair, desk, etc., whatever it is and wherever you are. 18 For example, if you couldn’t think of the word “garage”, you can say in your mind, “The place inside which I put my car” or “It’s next to my house. I keep things there”.The next exercise is thinking in simple sentences. For example, when sitting in a park, you can tell yourself things like, “It’s such a beautiful day” and “People are playing”. 19 You can also practise describing your daily activities. As beginning-level learners, you can describe the day using the simple present verb form, like “I put on my shirt” and “He drives the bus”. You can also mentally make plans in the morning or list things you’ve done before going to bed. 20 So the skill level is a little higher.When you are practising it every day, over and over again, little by little, you are thinking in English.One little girl in Dayton, Maine, has unknowingly changed the culture of her school when she became the first and only deaf student to attend.Morey Belanger, 6, was diagnosed(诊断) with a rare disease when she was one year old. The disease is so rare that it doesn’t even have a name. One of the side effects the disease can bring about is_________loss, which Morey has already suffered. Therefore, she has to use sign language (手语) to _________.When she reached the age to go to school, her parents were _________ about how she could receive education in normal schools. _________, they met with Dayton Consolidated School. The school was_________ to learn sign language and provide the services she needed.Still, Morey’s mother Shannon only_________that the teachers teaching her daughter would learn sign language. Never did she imagine that all the students would also learn it. “It makes our whole family just_________.” Shannon says.Apart from her classroom, Morey also goes to the gym class and the library, and people throughout the school are trying their best to_________what’s best to her.The school made efforts to make Morey feel she was_________and loved. For example, it hung sign language posters in the hallway and held parties at which sign language____________were given. “We did these things____________they are the right things to do. She is one of our students,” says Kim Sampietro, the school’s headteacher.But even if these things were simply the right ones to do, nobody at the school could deny(否认) the____________that Morey and the need to learn sign language have had on the school.“She’s just brought something to our school that wouldn’t have been there. I think it’s a chance for learning and growth when we have a child who has something____________,” says Sampietro, “She’ll be with the same class through the 5th grade, so I imagine all th ese kids will____________to learn sign language. It just makes her feel like she’s part of the school and she’s____________as she is.”21.A.hearing B.nutrition C.weight D.memory22.A.speak B.practice C.fight D.communicate 23.A.certain B.alarmed C.worried D.positive24.A.Normally B.Regularly C.Simply D.Fortunately25.A.anxious B.willing C.concerned D.generous26.A.discovered B.expected C.recognized D.spotted27.A.confused B.annoyed C.moved D.stressed28.A.offer B.avoid C.gather D.desire29.A.hated B.believed C.challenged D.respected30.A.performances B.explanations C.interviews D.themes31.A.if B.though C.because D.unless32.A.comment B.effect C.limitation D.resource33.A.extreme B.familiar C.mental D.different34.A.continue B.volunteer C.decide D.manage35.A.acquired B.accepted C.kept D.proved阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

2023-2024学年福建省福州市九师名校教学联盟高一上学期期中英语试题

2023-2024学年福建省福州市九师名校教学联盟高一上学期期中英语试题Europe is famous for big cities and world­class art museums. It’s easy not to notice the small, beautiful villages in Europe. However, if you’re after relaxation, peaceful country walks, beautiful buildings, and chances for different cultures on your next trip, consider cutting down some of your city time and head out to a village instead. Here are three of the most beautiful villages in Europe, along with our top picks for places to stay in each.Bibury in Gloucestershire, EnglandOften praised as the most beautiful village of the Cotsworlds, Bibury is also one of the most popular places for visitors to stay in the area, and attracts a lot of touri sts from around the world. It’s set among the green hills that the area is known for and is composed of light-beige (浅米色) stone houses, including the famous Arlington Row, a line of houses dating back to 1380.Cong in County Mayo, IrelandSet on a small se a­facing island on the western coast of Ireland, Cong is a quiet village that’s famous for its grey stone ruins (灰石废墟) and many outdoor activities. One of the biggest reasons for its fame is that the 1952 film The Quiet Man was made there, but the biggest draw for most visitors is the chance to visit (or stay in) Ashford Castle, which is now run as a great expensive hotel.Montepulciano in Tuscany, ItalySpread over a hilltop nearly 2,000 meters above sea level, the Tuscan village of Montepulciano offers beautiful buildings from the Middle Ages, as well as many chances to visit wineries (酿酒厂) and taste the locally produced Vino Nobel di Montepulciano. With fortifications (防御工事) dating back to the 14th century, the village has churches and public squares, which are truly fascinating.1. What is the biggest draw for most visitors in Cong?A.Grey stone ruins there. B.Outdoor activities there.C.The film The Quiet Man . D.Visiting Ashford Castle.2. We can do all the following activities except ________ in Montepulciano?A.read the Bible in the churches. B.visit beautiful buildings from the MiddleAges.C.taste the locally produced wine. D.experience the fortifications from the14th century.3. Where can we read this text?A.A science report. B.A guide book.C.A news report. D.An advertisement.Grown-ups are often surprised by how well they remember something they learned as children but have never practiced ever since. A man who has not had a chance to go swimming for years can still swim as well as ever when he gets back in the water. He can get on a bicycle after many years and still ride away. He can play catch and hit a ball as well as his son. A mother who has not thought about the words for years can teach her daughter the poem that begins “Twinkle, twinkle, little star” or remember the story of Cinderella or Goldilocks and the Three Bears.One explanation is the law of overlearning, which can be stated as follows: Once we have learned something, additional learning trials (尝试) increase the length of time we will remember it.In childhood we usually continue to practice such skills as swimming, bicycle riding, and playing baseball long after we have learned them. We continue to listen to and remind ourselves of words such as “Twinkle, twinkle, little star” and childhood tales such as Cinderella and Goldilocks. We not only learn but overlearn.The multiplication tables (乘法口诀表) are an exception to the general rule that we forget rather quickly the things that we learn in school, because they are another of the things we overlearn in childhood.The law of overlearning explains why cramming (突击学习) for an examination, though it may result in a passing grade, is not a satisfactory way to learn a college course. By cramming, a student may learn the subject well enough to get by on the examination, but he is likely soon to forget almost everything he learned. A little overlearning, on the other hand, is really necessary for one’s future development.4. What is the main idea of paragraph 1?A.People remember well what they learned in childhood.B.Children have a better memory than grown-ups.C.Poem reading is a good way to learn words.D.Stories for children arc easy to remember.5. According to the author, being able to use multiplication tables is _______.A.a result of overlearning B.a special case of crammingC.a skill to deal with math problems D.a basic step towards advanced studies6. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 5 refer to?A.the law B.overlearning C.examination D.cramming7. What is the author’s opinion on cramming?A.It leads to failure in college exams.B.It’s helpful only in a limited way.C.It’s possible to result in poor memory.D.It increases students’ learning interest.For years, you’ve been told that stress can be deadly and is something to be avoided. Therefore, an anxious situation is often accompanied by a sense of fear. However, recent studies suggest that stress-related harmful effects on your health are not unavoidable.One study followed 30,000 people over eight years and measured their stress levels. Those who believed that stress is harmful died at a higher rate than those who were under stress but didn’t acknowledge the so-called negative effects. The latter group was healthier, and many of them lived long, happy lives.Stressful feelings start out in a small region of the brain that affects how people feel emotions, especially fear. The small region is very sensitive to possible threats. When it senses danger, it alerts the brain, and feelings of fear or stress can result. These feelings give people a warning message when they need to pay attention and when they need to take action. For instance, when the sight of a speeding car triggers (触发) the region to release a lightning-fast message, we know immediately to move out of the way!Another study carried by Health psychologist Dr. McGonigal found a link between stress and the amount of sympathy people showed to others. Researchers tracked 1,000 adults, their descriptions of the level of stress in their lives and the amount of time spent helping others. With each major stressful event, such as a family tragedy or financial crisis, the risk of dying increased by 30 percent. But for the group who spent time helping others, there was no increase in stress-related deaths, even for those who had faced their own personal tragedies. According to Dr. McGonigal, “Chasing meaning is better for your health than trying to avoid discomfort. Go after what it is that creates meaning in your life and then trust yourself to ha ndle the stress that follows.”8. What does the study in paragraph 2 suggest?A.Stress caused many deaths over eight years.B.Stress won’t hurt you if you don’t acknowledge its presence.C.It is not the stress but our response to it that creates problems.D.Those without stress usually live long and happy lives.9. What do we know about stress from paragraph 3?A.Stress is harmful to the brain.B.Stress can cause danger.C.Stress can be a threat to us.D.Stress can lead to timely action.10. What can we learn from Dr. McGonigal’s study?A.People without stress spend more time caring others.B.Stress often causes a family tragedy or financial crisis.C.Stress can be avoided by helping others.D.People chasing meaning in life suffer less from stress.11. Which may be the best title for the text?A.Stress Is Not Your Enemy B.Man Can Conquer StressC.We Need Remove Stress D.Stress Is Nearly HarmlessDanelien van Aalst at the University of Groningen and her co-workers have done research on how relative age (相对年龄) affects popularity among 14 to 15-year-olds.Researchers surveyed more than 13,000 teenagers in England, Sweden and the Netherlands on who they thought was the most popular in their class. Then the researchers gave each student in their classroom a popularity score linked to their birth month as well as their age position in their class. They discovered this: the older the student was, the more likely he or she was to be considered popular.“A child enters school before or after a ce rtain cut-off date and that determines how old or young you are relative to your year group,” says van Aalst. “We found that if you’re born right after the cut-off date, which makes you one of the oldest members of your class, you’re going to be popular.”They found that the same effect also applied at the year-group level. Here, it was the children who were the oldest relative to all of their peers in the year group-rather than just those in their own class-that were the most popular.All three countries showed roughly the same pattern (模式). However, at the classroom level, it was in the Netherlands that the pattern was the strongest. This is partly because the country has a system of grade retention - when students don’t meet their academic requirements, t heir teachers will hold them back a year, which means they then become the oldest in their class and often the most popular.This relative age effect has also been shown in other areas. “Relative age has earlier been proved to affect school performance-rel atively older children do better in school,” says Herman van de Werfhorst at the University of Amsterdam. Similarly, previous research has shown that older children tend to be better at sports than younger students in the same year group.12. How did the researchers know who the popular students were?A.By recording students’ performance.B.By studying earlier research results.C.By collecting answers from students. D.By comparing the ages of students.13. What does the underlined word “that” refer to in paragraph 3?A.Popularity. B.Relative age. C.The survey data. D.The cut-off date.14. What might happen to students held back a year in Netherlands?A.Their teachers would be happy to have them in the class.B.It would be difficult for them to pass the exams in Netherlands.C.They might gain more popularity than others in the same year group.D.They might be the most popular among the peers of the three countries.15. What does the passage mainly tell us?A.The older a child gets, the wiser he or she will be.B.Many students want to be held back to be popular.C.Older children are likely to perform better in school.D.Older children are often more popular than their younger peers.Why Can’t People Stop Touching Museum Exhibits (展品)?When visiting the British Museum, you can see visitors touch ancient bowls even though the museum rules say no touching is allowed. Museum guards say it’s impossible to stop people from breaking the no-touch rule. 16Most museum-going is still a mainly visual (视觉的) experience for visitors to admire the artworks.17 But over the past few years, more and more museums have been working to include additional senses, like sounds and smells. But touch, especially, is only allowed in certain areas, like theL ouvre’s Touch Gallery, or the British Museum’s Hands On Desks.18 Before there were museums, there were curiosity rooms filled with a collection of interesting objects from around the world. When people visited the collection, the objects were passed around. Museums continued with this spirit of openness at first.But as museums grew, the spirit no longer existed. When you’ve got 4 million visitors a year, you can hardly have every body touching something. People are awkward and likely to damage the artworks. So the rule against touching artworks makes great sense. Smaller museums still sometimes encourage visitors to touch their objects. 19Why are we so unwilling to keep our hands to ourselves? Some people just want to make sure the artworks are rea l. But there’s a larger truth. 20 Visitors say that they want to feel how deep an engraving (雕刻) goes, so as to better understand the artistic skills. In this way, touching is part of trying to somehow make contact with the past.Life is full of uncertainties, and every activity we do carries some level of ______ . Some activities, like snowboarding (单板滑雪运动), often have a higher possibility of injury. Ian Steger ______ this firsthand when he had a serious snowboarding accident (事故) but he was so ______ that Francis Zuber passed by.In March, Ian and a group of friends went on a snowboarding trip in Washington State. During their ______ , things took a dangerous turn. While moving through the trees, Ian fell backward and crashed into one, finding himself ______ in a deep hole of snow.Ian explained the ______ , “When we entered the trees, they were so ______ together that we each had to find our own paths. Unluckily, the path I ______ led me straight into a big tree well.” Fearing the worst, Ian thought he was facing his ______ moments. However, Francis Zuber, a skier, happened to pass by.Francis saw a flash of red in the corner of his eye. He ______ a snowboard sticking out from the snow, which was ______ considering how far they were from any populated areas. Worried, Francis called out to Ian but didn’t receive any ______Without hesitation (犹豫), Francis began to dig hard to save Ian from the snowy trap. In the end, he ______ it. Feeling extremely ______ , Ian hugged (拥抱) Francis, telling him, “I’m so glad you______ my life today.”21.A.interest B.risk C.boredom D.success22.A.discovered B.described C.mentioned D.guessed23.A.proud B.nervous C.sure D.lucky24.A.visit B.adventure C.training D.discussion25.A.beaten B.hidden C.trapped D.tested26.A.situation B.method C.difference D.invitation27.A.close B.safe C.unique D.high28.A.advised B.cleared C.chose D.saw29.A.quiet B.final C.right D.long30.A.heard B.imagined C.kept D.noticed31.A.funny B.true C.unusual D.impossible32.A.report B.warning C.promise D.answer33.A.made B.got C.put D.meant34.A.tired B.thankful C.curious D.satisfied35.A.calmed B.touched C.spared D.saved阅读下面短文,在空白处填入一个适当的单词或括号内单词的适当形式。

"thumb one's nose"(4)Something "right under your nose" means.A.something easy to findB.something a teacher asks in classC.something hard to understandD.something a student refuses to do12.(8分)Last night I was driving from Harrisburg to Lewisburg,a distance of about eighty miles.It was lat e.Several times I got stuck behind a slow-moving truck on a narrow road with a solid white line on my left,and I became increasingly impatient.At one point along an open road,I came to a crossing with a traffic light.I was alone on the road by no w,but as I drove near the light,it turned red and I made a stop.I looked left,right and behind me.Nothin g.Not a car,no suggestion of car lamps,but there I sat,waiting for the light to change,the only human b eing for at least a mile in any direction.I started wondering why I refused to run the light.I wasn't afraid of being caught,because there was clear ly no policeman around,and there certainly would have been no danger in going through it.Much later that night,the question of why I'd stopped for that light came back to me.I think I stopped be cause it's part of a contract we all have with each other.It's not only the law,but it's an agreement we hav e,and we trust each other to honor it:we don't go through red lights.Trust is our first inclination (倾向).Doubting others does not seem to be natural to us.The whole constr uction of our society depends on mutual (相互的) trust,not distrust.We do what we say we'll do;we show up when we say we'll show up;and we pay when we say we'll pay.We trust each other in these matters,and we're angry or disappointed with the person or organization that breaks the trust we have in them.I was so proud of myself for stopping for the red light that night.(1)Why did the writer get impatient while driving?A.He got tired of driving too long.B.He was lonely on the road.C.He was slowed down by a truck.D.He came across too many traffic lights.(2)What was the writer's immediate action when the traffic light turned red?A.Stopping still.B.Looking around for other cars.C.Checking out for traffic police.D.Driving through it.(3)The event made the writer strongly believe that .A.doubting others is human natureB.a society needs mutual trustC.traffic rules may be unnecessaryD.patience is important to drivers(4)Why was the writer proud of himself?A.He held back his anger.B.He followed his inclination.C.He made a right decision.D.He kept his promise.13.(6分)People often recommend planting trees to make cities greener,cleaner and healthier.But during heat waves,a new study shared in Environmental Science & Technology finds,up to 60 percent of the ozone (臭氧) in a city 's air may be traced to chemicals produced by trees.City trees offer a lot of benefits,including absorbing carbon dioxide and producing oxygen.But oxygen is far from the only gas that trees release into the air.One of the sechemicals is isoprene.It can react with nitr ogen oxides.The result is the formation of ozone,which has a strong smell and can be harmful to human he alth.Cars and trucks are major sources of oxids,which can also react with other chemicals that trees can rel ease,creating lots of other airborne pollutants.Galina Churkina,from Humboldt University of Berlin,and her team wanted to find out how much the chem icals released by trees could affect city air.To do that,researchers fed local weather data for two summers i nto a computer.One was 2006,when there was a heat wave.The other was 2014,when temperatures were milder.An average daily high there in summer tends to be roughly 25℃.On such a day,chemicals released by tre es would likely have contributed to making about 6 to 20 percent of the ozone in the city's air.But when tem peratures rise to more than 30℃,they are likely to be responsible for up to 60 percent of the ozone in the air.The results,Churkina says,suggest that city tree-planting programs should not ignore the role trees may play in worsening summer air pollution.Adding more trees will improve quality of life only if those cities als o undertake plans to sharply cut pollution from cars and trucks in summer,she says.(1)What does the reaction between isoprene and nitrogen oxides create?A.Ozone.B.Dioxide.C.A tasteless gas.D.A harmless gas.(2)Researchers find from their study that in hot summer trees .A.prevent heat wavesB.worsen ozone levelsC.produce less oxygenD.absorb more pollutants(3)What does Churkina advise doing?A.Controlling tree chemicals.B.Planting more trees in cities.C.Reducing vehicle pollution.D.Removing some trees in summer.14.(8分)I have a friend who lives by a three-word philosophy:Seize the moment.Just possibly,she may be the wisest woman in the world.Too many people put off something that brings them joy just because the y haven't thought about it,don't have it on their schedule,don't know it is coming or are too strict to depar t from their routine (常规).I can't remember the times I called my sister and said, "How about going to lunch in half an hour?" She w ould stammer(结结巴巴地说), "I can't.I have clothes on the line.My hair is dirty.I wish I had known it yes terday.I had a late breakfast.It looks like rain." And my personal favorite response was "It's just Monda y." She died a few years ago.We never did have lunch together.From then on,I've tried to be a little mor e flexible (灵活的).Life has a way of going faster as we get older.The days get shorter,and the list of promises made to ours elves gets longer.One morning,we awake,and all we have to show for our lives is repetition of "I'm going to", "I plan on" and "Someday,when things are settled down a bit."When anyone calls my "seize the moment" friend,she is open to adventure and available for trips.She kee ps an open mind on new ideas.Her enthusiasm(热情) for life is contagious.You talk with her for a while,a nd you're ready to change your attitude to life.My lips haven't touched ice cream for 10 years.I love ice cream.The other day,I stopped the car and bou ght a triple-decker.If my car had hit an iceberg on the way home,I would have died happy.Now go on and have a nice day.Do something you WANT to,not something on your SHOULD DO list.(1)The example of the writer's sister serves as.A.a debateB.a conclusionC.a supportD.an introduction(2)The writer thinks the excuse "It's just Monday." is acceptable,because.A.it's still likely that they can have lunch together some time laterB.it sounds most reasonable of all the excusesC.it indicates the time when they can have lunch togetherD.it shows respect for the writer's suggestion(3)The underlined word "contagious" in the fourth paragraph means "".A.reasonableB.influentialC.importantD.necessary(4)What is the purpose of the writer by writing this passage?A.To persuade busy people to relax.B.To suggest how times flies.C.To advise people to keep their promise.D.To persuade readers to be flexible on their schedule for practical joy.第二节(共1小题;每小题10分,共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.选项中有两项为多余选项.15.(10分)Feel depressed?No worry!Here are several scientifically proven tips for relaxing.Surround yourself with plants.Immersing yourself in nature can make you feel happier,and even just a little exposure can help you rela x.One study at Washington State University found that entering a room with plants can lower your blood pre ssure and increase your productivity.(1).Mow the lawn.A chemical released by a mowed lawn(草坪)causes people to feel happy and relaxed,according to research.Another benefit?(2).Reduce your screen time,especially before bedtime.Spend the majority of your day sitting in front of a screen only to go home and stare at another screen (or two)?That artificial light can impact your sleep.(3).Studies have shown that teenagers who use th eir phones late at night are more likely to be depressed.(4).Scientists at the City University of London found that a single cup of tea reduces stress rates by as much as25 percent.And certain types of herbal tea,like green tea,contain a certain material,which has also beenshown to reduce stress.Have a laugh.(5) by releasing endorphins,the brain chemicals known for their happy fuzzy effect.A.Drink some teaB.It can brighten up your dayC.If life gives you lemons,make lemonadeD.Getting a chore out of the way - and off your mindE.Young adults in particular are likely to be affectedF.Plus,they increase oxygen,helping you breathe easierG.Watching funny videos - and laughing - physically helps you relax第三部分英语知识运用(共两节,满分30分)第一节完形填空(共1小题;每小题1.5分,满分30分) 阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的四个选项中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项.16.(30分)Liz Woodward was working at the restaurant when she heard two firefighters (1) a particu larly rough task fighting a(2) warehouse fire that took 12 hours to get under control.She ended up (3) their breakfast and leaving them a(4) note thanking them for their(5)."Thank you for serving us and for(6) the places everyone runs away from.No matter your role,you are always courageous and(7)!Get some rest!"

English speakers are always creating new words, and we are often able to know where most words come from. Sometimes, however, no one may really know where a word comes from. Did you ever think about why hamburgers(汉堡包) are called hamburgers, especially when they are not made with ham(火腿) About a hundred years ago, some men went to America from Europe. They came from a big city in Germany called Hamburg. They did not speak good English, but they ate good food. When some Americans saw them eating round pieces of beef, they asked the Germans what it was. The Germans did not understand the question and answered, "We come from Hamburg." One of these Americans owned a restaurant, and hadan idea. He cooked some round pieces of beef like those which the men from Hamburg ate. Then he put each between two pieces of bread and started selling them. Such bread came to be called "hamburgers". Today "hamburgers" are sold in many countries around the world.Whether this story is true or not, it certainly is interesting. Knowing why any word has a certain meaning is interesting. too. This reason, for most English words, can be found in any large English dictionary.24.About a hundred years ago, Hamburg was ______.A. An American cityB. a Chinese cityC. the name of a villageD. a city in Germany25.Hamburgers are mainly made with ______.A. beef, breadB. only made with beefC. bread, potatoD. only made with bread26.According to the writer, which of the following can often be found in any large English dictionaryA. Where all the new words come fromB. Where those Germans came fromC. The reason why an English word has a certain meaningD. The reason why English is spoken around the world27.According to the story, the word "hamburger" comes from ______.A. China because it has a long historyB. England because Germans don't speak good EnglishC. the round pieces of beef which those people from Hamburg were eatingD. English speakers because they always create new wordsCFor years, you've been told that stress can be deadly and is something to be avoided. Therefore, an anxious situation is often accompanied by a sense of fear. However, recent studies suggest that stress-related harmful effects on your health are not unavoidable.One study followed 30, 000 people over eight years and measured their stress levels. Those who believed that stress is harmful died at a higher rate than those who were under stress but didn't acknowledge the so-called negative effects. The latter group was healthier, and many of them lived long, happy lives.Stressful feelings start out in a small region of the brain that affects how people feel emotions, especially fear. The small region is very sensitive to possible threats. When it senses danger, it alerts the brain, and feelings of fear or stress can result. These feelings give people a warning message when they need to pay attention and when they need to take action. For instance, when the sight of a speeding car triggers (触发) the region to release a lightning-fast message, we know immediately to move out of the way!Another study carried by Health psychologist Dr. McGonigal found a linkbetween stress and the amount of sympathy people showed to others. Researchers tracked 1, 000 adults, their descriptions of the level of stress in their lives and the amount of time spent helping others. With each major stressful event, such as a family tragedy or financial crisis, the risk of dying increased by 30 percent. But for the group who spent time helping others, there was no increase in stress-related deaths, even for those who had faced their own personal tragedies. According to Dr. McGonigal, "Chasing meaning is better for your health than trying to avoid discomfort. Go after what it is that creates meaning in your life and then trust yourself to handle the stress that follows."28.What does the study in paragraph 2 suggestA. Stress caused many deaths over eight years.B. Stress won't hurt you if you don't acknowledge its presence.C. It is not the stress but our response to it that creates problems.D. Those without stress usually live long and happy lives.29.What do we know about stress from paragraph 3A. Stress is harmful to the brain.B. Stress can cause danger.C. Stress can be a threat to us.D. Stress can lead to timely action.30.What can we learn from Dr. McGonigal's studyA. People without stress spend more time caring others.B. Stress often causes a family tragedy or financial crisis.C. Stress can be avoided by helping others.D. People chasing meaning in life suffer less from stress.31.Which may be the best title for the textA. Stress Is Not Your Enemy.B. Man Can Conquer Stress.C. We Need Remove Stress.D. Stress Is Nearly HarmlessDEmpathy and generosity are two qualities that arguably make the world go round.But a study suggests that the willingness to help crashes when people get too little sleep.To prove it,researchers conducted three experiments designed to examine the issue from the individual to the societal scale.In the first experiment,researchers performed functional magnetic resonance (磁共振)imaging scans of the brain and questioned 24 adults after an eight-hour-sleep night and after a sleepless night.When they rested well,the participants scored well on a helping behavior test.But after sleep loss,78 percent had less of a desire to help others,even when it came to friends and family.The scans showed that areas of the brains associated with social cognition — our thought processes related to other people — were less active with sleep loss.The second experiment tracked 136 healthy adults over four nights and asked them questions about helping the following day.The effect held for them,too.To test the effects on a societal level,the researchers then looked at adatabase of 3 million charitable donations given between 2023 and 2023.They found that immediately following the beginning of daylight saving time (DST 夏令时)— a notorious sleep disrupter — donations dropped 10 percent.The effect wasn't found in data from Hawaii or Arizona,however,neither observe DST.Why bother studying how helpful people are when we don't get enough shut-eye?"We're starting to see more studies,where the effects of sleep loss don't just stop at the individual,but extend to those around us," said Eti Ben Simon,a scientist who co-wrote the study,in a news release. "If you're not getting enough sleep,it doesn't just hurt your own well-being,it hurts that of your entire social circle,including strangers." There's a silver lining to all that ungenerous behavior,the researchers write:Unlike personality quality,sleep can be modified — and both getting enough and helping others do the same might make for a better world.32.On which level were the first two experiments made?A. The world level.B. The individual level.C. The societal level.D. The family level.33.What can we learn about the experiments from the text?A. The sleep quality determined people's desire to help.B. Our brains would become inactive for lack of sleep.C. The first two experiments' results were the same.D. DST influenced the donations in all examined areas.34.Why do researchers bother to conduct such a study according to Eti Ben Simon?A. Because they want to solve the sleep loss problem.B. Because they want more people to donate money.C. Because sleep loss has greater impacts than we assume.D. Because it will prevent people from hurting their well-being.35.Which is the most suitable title for the text?A. Scientists Found Solid Evidence for Sleep Loss.B. Two Significant Qualities — Empathy and Generosity.C. Sound Sleep Contributes to a Better Person.D. Too Little Sleep Makes People Less Generous.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,选项中有两项为多余选项。
