AZambia is a country in southern Africa. More than half of the population is very poor, and companies pay people very little money for their work. One woman named Sylvia Banda had adream to become a successful businesswoman and build her own brand (品牌). So, after finishing high school, Banda went to college to learn how to start a food company. She studied hard and spent her free time coming up with ways to make money, including making food and selling it to friends.In 1987, when Banda was 24 years old, she decided to start her own restaurant. She borrowed a room and used food, and pans from her own kitchen. The first day, her restaurant did not have any chairs or tables, but she was able to sell all of the food that she had made. After counting the money, she was surprised that she had made more in one day than most people make in one month.From that small restaurant, Banda built a large company called the Sylva Group. It now has hundreds of people working for it and is worth over a million dollars. Besides restaurants, the company has now built hotels and a college in Zambia, and it also sells many kinds of packaged foods. After reaching her goal of starting her own business and becoming rich, Banda decided to work to improve the lives of other Zambians.She does this in a number of ways. For one, her restaurants use vegetables and other products made in Zambia, and by doing so, Banda can support the farmers. Her college also teaches farmers ways to make their farms better, which helps them make more money. The college also helps young Zambians get skills to start their own businesses. Through hard work, Banda has been able to improve both her life and her country.21．Why did Sylvia Banda go to college?A. To learn how to teach at a high school.B. To realize her dream of becoming a businesswoman.C. Because her parents wanted her to study hard.D. Because she wanted to spend time with her friends.22．In 1987, Banda ________.A. worked at a small restaurant to learn how to cookB. lent rooms to her friends to make extra moneyC. borrowed money from a bank to start her own companyD. used things from her own kitchen to start her first restaurant23．What can be learnt about The Sylva Group?A. It is the name of a small restaurant in Zambia.B. It has become a valuable company that has many workers.C. It builds hotels and restaurants outside of Zambia.D. It pays for its workers to go to college.24．How does Banda help Zambian farmers?A. She hires them to work in her company.B. She sells their vegetables at her stores for a high price.C. She buys and uses their products in her restaurants.D. She gives them money to make their farms better.BI am Peter Hodes, a volunteer stem courier. Since March 2012, I've done 89 trips of those ,51 have been abroad, I have 42 hours to carry stem cells（干细胞）in my little box because I've got two ice packs and that's how long they last, in all, from the time the stem cells are harvested from a donor(捐献者) to the time they can be implanted in the patient, we’ve got 72 hours at most, So I am always conscious of time.I had one trip last year where I was caught by a hurricane in America. I picked up the stem cells in Providence, Rhode Island, and was meant to fly to Washington then back to London. But when I arrived at the check-in desk at Providence, the lady on the desk said: “Well, I’m really sorry, I’ve got some bad news for you-there are no fights from Washington.” So I took my box and put it on the desk and I said: “In this box are some stem cells that are urgently needed for a patient-please, please, you’ve got to get me back to the United Kingdom.” She just dropped everything. She arranged for a flight on a small plane to be held for me. re-routed(改道) me through Newark and got me back to the UK even earlier than originally scheduled.For this courier job, you’re consciously aware than that box you’re got something that is potentially going to save somebody’s life.25. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “courier” in Paragraph1?A. providerB. delivery manC. collectorD. medical doctor26. Why does Peter have to complete his trip within 42hours?A. He cannot stay away from his job too long.B. The donor can only wait for that long.C. The operation needs that very much.D. The ice won't last any longer.27. Which flight did the woman put Peter on first?A. To LondonB. To NewarkC. To ProvidenceD. To WashingtonCInteresting Greeting Customs in Different CountriesTo build a good relationship with foreigners, you should know the customs of the country you visit. This passage will help you earn the trust of the natives.JapanJapanese people follow both customs of shaking hands and bowing when greeting. You need to respond as the host does, either by bowing or shaking hands. This is different from the Ukrainian style of greeting. There, you should be ready to present your right cheek, on which three kisses will be planted by the natives, along with a hug.ChinaChinese people accept the western handshake, but with a lighter grip (握). Looking straight into the eyes while greeting is considered rude in China; it is better to receive the greeting with lowered eyes as a mark of respect. Moreover, in Chinese culture a new friend is greeted with applause. It is interesting that Tibetans show their tongue to people as a gesture of politeness. This means they have no ill thoughts about them.The Arabic WorldIn some Arabic countries, speaking to the women is not allowed for a foreigner, let alone any other body contact. Men may greet each other with a hug and kiss on both cheeks, followed by a lasting handshake. As a non-Arabic woman, you must wait for the Arabic men to offer their hand to shake, as it is not common in Arabia to shake hands with women.RussiaRussians prefer a firm handshake followed by a bear hug, especially to a known acquaintance. Even kissing the cheeks of both men and women are popular, but only for Russian men. Similarly in Europe and Latin America, kissing the cheeks is also a popular custom. But for Latin Americans, kissing the top of a lady’s hand after a soft handshake is more popular. Don’ttake the hand before the complete handshake is done, as this will be taken as a rejection.28. When you visit a Japanese female friend, you should ______.A. kiss her on her right cheekB. bow to her if she does this to youC. shake her hand before she greets youD. avoid having any body contact with her29. According to the text, how do most Chinese people greet a friend?A. They will bow to a new friend.B. They will give a light hand shake.C. They will make straight eye contact to show respect.D. They will show their tongue to show politeness.30. What kind of behavior is forbidden in some Arabic countries?A. Chatting with an Arabic man.B. Kissing an Arabic man on both cheeks.C. Giving a tight hug to an Arabic woman.D. Offering a firm handshake to an Arabic man.31. What can we learn about the greeting customs of Russia?A. Russian men prefer to kiss the top of a lady’s hand.B. Russian women often bow to a new friend.C. Familiar friends shake hands and hug tightly when greeting.D. Taking a lady’s hand means you refuse to make friend s with her.0…..DSome people believe that international sports creates goodwill between the nations and that if countries play games together they will learn to live together. Others argue that international contests encourage false national pride and lead to misunderstanding and hatred. There is probably some truth in both opinions, but in recent years the Olympic Games have done little to support the view that sports encourage international brotherhood. Not only was there the tragic incident involving the murder of athletes, but the Games were also ruined by some unfortunate incidents happening in minor national contests.One country received its silver medals with great anger after the hockey final. There had been noisy scenes at the end of the hockey match since the loser refused the final decisions. They were convinced that one of their goals should not have been disallowed and that their opponents’（对手）victory was unfair. Their manager was angry when he said: “This wasn’t hockey. Hockeyand the international Hockey Federation are finished.” The president of the Federation said later that behavior could result in the suspension(暂停) of the team for at least three years.The American basketball team announced that they would not yield first place to Russia, after a doubtful end to their contest. The game had ended in disturbance. It was thought at first that the United States had won, by a single point, but it was announced that there were three seconds still to play. A Russian player then threw the ball from one end of the court to the other, and another player popped it into the basket. It was the first time that the USA had ever lost an Olympic basketball match. An appeal jury(申诉仲裁) debated the matter for four and a half hours before announcing the result would stand. The American players then voted not to receive the silver medals.Incidents of this kind will continue as long as sport is played competitively rather than for the love of the game. The suggestion that athletes should compete as individuals, or in non-national terms, might be too much to hope for. But in the present organization of the Olympics there is far too much that encourages aggressive patriotism（激进的爱国主义）.32. According to the author, recent Olympic Games have __________.A．showed little international friendship B．greatly encouraged international brotherhood C．created goodwill between the nations D．created only misunderstanding and hatred 33. What did the manager mean by saying, “Hockey and the International Hockey Federation are finished”?A. His team would no longer take part in international games.B. Hockey and the Federation are both ruined by the unfair decisionsC. There should be no more hockey matches organized by the FederationD. The Federation should be canceled34. The basketball example suggested that __________.A. too much patriotism was shown in the incidentB. the announcement to restart the match for three more seconds was wrongC. the appeal jury was too bad at making the decisionD. the American team deserved to get the silver medals.35. What conclusion can be drawn from the passage?A. Sports should be played competitively rather than for the love of the game.B. Athletes should compete as individuals in the Olympic Games.C. The organization of the Olympic Games must be improved.D. International contests are unfair for misunderstanding between nations.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。

AI took the bus to work for many years. No one knew each other; the passengers all sat there sleepily in the morning. The bus was cheerless and silent.One of the passengers was a small gray-haired man who took the bus to the center for senior citizens every morning. No one ever paid very much attention to him.One July morning he said good morning to the driver and smiled. The driver nodded guardedly(戒备地). The rest of us were silent.The next day, the old man boarded with a big smile and said in a loud voice: “A very good morning to you all!” Some of us looked up, amazed, and murmured “Good Morning” in reply.The following weeks, our friend was dressed in a nice old suit and tie. His thin hair had been carefully combed. He said good morning to us every day and we gradually began to nod and talk to each other.One morning he even had a bunch of wild flowers in his hand. The driver turned around smiling and asked: “Have you got yourself a girlfriend, Charlie?” We never got to know if his name really was “Charlie”, but he nodded shyly and said yes. The other passengers whistled and clapped at him. Charlie waved the flowers before he sat down on his seat.Every morning after that Charlie always brought flowers. Some passengers also brought flowers for him. The bus became a happy place.Then, one morning, as autumn was closing in, Charlie wasn’t waiting at his usual stop. When he wasn’t there the next day and the day after that, we started wondering if he was sick or—hopefully – on holiday somewhere.When we came nearer to the center for senior citizens, one of the passengers asked the driver to wait. We all held our breaths when he went to the door.The old gentle man was fine, but one of his close friends had died over the weekend. How silent we were the rest of the way to work.The next Monday Charlie was waiting at the stop, stooping (弯腰) a bit more, a little bit more gray, and without a tie. Inside the bus was silent. Even though no one had talked about it, all of us sat there silently, our eyes filled with tears and a bunch of wild flowers in our hands.1. From the passage, we can infer that .A. people always cared about each other on the busB. people were unhappy and sleepy on the bus because they were tiredC. smiles can shorten the distance between peopleD. people are not good at communicating in the country2. What are we sure about the old man?A. His name was Charlie.B. He worked at the center for senior citizens.C. He got sick over the weekend.D. He was in great sorrow when we saw him the next Monday.3. Which of the following is not true?A. The atmosphere on the bus was cheerful and lively at first.B. People were surprised at the old man’s first greeting.C. People were worried about the old man’s absence.D. People on the bus at last shared happiness and sorrow together.4. Which would be the best title for the passage？A. How to Shorten the Distance between PeopleB. Smiles Make a Bus Feel Like HomeC. Charlie, A Smiling Gentle ManD. The Key to Friendship — CommunicationBWant to find a job?

If you want to try for a job in Fairmont Hotel, you _________ .A. have to be a woman and know foreign languagesB. should be a university graduateC. have to be taller than 1.72 metersD. should be younger than 30 years oldCThe iPhone, the iPad: each of Apple’s products sounds cool and has become a fad(一时的风尚). Apple has clever ly taken advantage of the power of the letter “i” –-- and many other brands are following suit. The BBC’s iPlayer --- which allows Web users to watch TV programs on the Internet ---used the title in 2008. A lovely bear --- popular in the US and UK --- that plays music and video is called “iTeddy”. A slimmed-down version(简装本) of London’s Independent newspaper was started last week under the name “i”.In general, single-letter prefixes(前缀) have been popular since the 1990s, when terms such as e-mail and e-commerce(电子商务) first came into use.Most “i” products are targeted at （针对）young people and considering the major readers of Independent’s “i”, it’s no surprise that they’ve selected this fashionable name.But it’s hard to see what’s so special about the letter “i”. Why not use “a”, “b”, or “c” instead? According to Tony Thorne, head of the Language Center at King’s College, London, “i” works because its meaning has become ambiguous. When Apple uses “i”, no one knows whether it means Internet, information, indi vidual or interactive, Thorne told BBC Magazines. “Even when Apple created the iPod, it seems it didn’t have one clear definition（定义）,” he says.“However, thanks to Apple, the term is now connected with portability (轻便) .”adds Thorne.Clearly the letter “i” also agrees with the idea that the Western World is centered on the individual. Each person believes they have their own needs, and we love personalized products for this reason.Along with “Google” and “blog”, readers of BBC Magazines voted “i” as one o f the top 20 words that have come to define the last decade(十年).But as history shows, people grow tired of fads. From the 1900s to 1990s, products with “2000” in their names became fashionable as the year was connected with all things advanced and modern. However, as we entered the new century, the fashion disappeared.8. People use iPlayer to __________.A. listen to musicB. make a callC. watch TV programs onlineD. read newspapers9. We can infer that the Independent’s “i” is designed for _________.A. young readersB. old readersC. fashionable womenD. engineers10. The underlined word “ambiguous” means “__________”.A. popularB. uncertainC. clearD. unique11. Nowadays, the “i” term often reminds people of the products which are __________.A. portableB. environmentally friendlyC. advancedD. recyclable12. The writer suggests that __________.A. “i” products are often of high qualityB. iTeddy is alive bearC. the letter “b” replaces letter “i” to name the productsD. the popularity of “i” products may not last long第二节（共5小题，每小题1.5分，满分7.5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。

Crowds lined the streets, cheering and waving. Fry rode west for 90 miles at full speed. He then passed a leather bag full of letters to another rider. Eventually a chain of riders carried the letters across nearly 2,000 miles of wilderness, and the Pony Express was born.Between California and the rest of the U.S. lay a vast wilderness. Mail service was slow and often delayed. As war among the states seemed likely, people wanted news more quickly.In December 1859, William Russell, owner of a transport company, decided to meet that need. He and partners William Waddell and Alexander Majors worked constantly for months. They selected a route from St. Joseph, Missouri, to Sacramento, California. Then they purchased 400 horses, hired workers and set up relay stations （导站）every 10 to 15 miles. Riders would change horses at these stations, and every 90 to 120 miles a new rider would take over.Shortly before Jonny Fry set out, another Pony Express rider set off from Sacramento for St. Joseph. These first deliveries reached their destinations in close to the 10 days Russell had promised.But the route was far from safe. On April 18, 1860, a rider’s horse stumbled （绊倒）and fell on the rider, killing him. Riders faced rivers, mountains, extreme temperatures-and very unfriendly natives.In May 1860,tensions between the settlers and Native Americans turned into fighting. Native Americans attacked several Pony Express stations, forcing some of them to close temporarily.Despite the risks, the Pony Express lost only one delivery during its one and a half years in operation. And when Abraham Lincoln was elected president, the Pony Express carried the news to California in only five days. It also spread news of the beginning of America's Civil War.The Pony Express service ended in October 1861 after a telegraph line across the U.S. was completed.Yet the riders' courage and accomplishments still hold a place in legend（传奇）.56. The passage is mainly about the _____ of the Pony Express.A. functionB.influenceC. historyD. operation57. To _____, William Russell decided to set up the Pony Express.A. shorten the time of sending mailB. deliver mail farther and more safelyC. meet people's different needsD. help people keep in contact in war58. What might Russell have promised about the first deliveries?A. To make the destinations closer.B. To make the deliveries within 10 days.C. To ensure the deliveries with two riders.D. To complete the deliveries before the war.59. What can be learned from the passage?A. The Pony Express had an insignificant position in the development of mail service.B. The fighting between the settlers and Native Americans ended the Pony Express.C. The Pony Express became successful as a result of the dangers on the route.D. The Pony Express not only delivered mail but spread news as well.（B）Please Choose Cloud ServicesFinding the Cloud service can be difficult as there are so many available.Consumers need to consider and compare each service’s features, storage possibilities, free space and best price. You may be unsure, or you do not know where to begin. Trying every Cloud service would take a lot of time and work. But, the website might help.CloudDrop-box Google-Drive One-DriveBoxBest For LightweightUsersTeams AndCollaborationDevotedWindowsUsersEnterpriseSolutionsFree Storage Space2GB15GB15GB10GBCheapest PremiumOption1TB100GB100GB100GB One valuable feature is the protection of digital files, including photos, videos, documents, music and more. If the worst happens and your computer crashes, or gets lost or damaged, your files can still be found in the Cloud.Cloud services let you access your files from almost anywhere. No need to worry about a file stored on your computer when you are away from your desk. If you have an Internet connection, you can open your files from any computer, or from a phone, when they are stored using a Cloud service.Using a Cloud service makes sharing files easier. If you send documents to a group using emails, you may then wonder which version everyone is working with. When sharing files using a Cloud service, everyone will see the same document and the latest version.The first thing to consider is the amount of storage space you need. Check how much space you are currently using on your computer and mobile devices. If your computer or phone is filled with photos and you have little free space, you may want to move your photos to the Cloud. Some Cloud services are free. But, if you need a lot of space, you will probably need one that costs money.Even if everyone you have ever met is a Windows user, you still probably want a Cloud service that works with many platforms. You might become friends with anAndroid user or start a job with a company that computes on Apple!60. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. Google-Drive users can obtain 100GB for free.B. Most Cloud services can send files to both the Cloud and the local computer.C. It's hard to transfer your file when you turn on the computer if it is stored in the Cloud.D. Never worry about finding your files in the Clouds if the computer system crashes.61. What will you have to do if you need more space to store more files in the Cloud?A. To use your own Cloud services.B. To share Cloud space with others.C. To spend money buying space.D. To buy the latest version of the service.62. How can consumers find the Cloud service that suits them best?A. By learning more information about the space occupied by files.B. By comparing Cloud’s function, storage, available space and prices.C. By sending files to a group of people via e-mail inquiring about the Cloud service.D.By making friends with Android users who use Apple computers.（C）Every day, Lucy Dong and her best friend Amy Zhu wake at 7 a.m. -- 7.10 a.m.If they are lucky---rush through their breakfast of steamed buns and noodles, and head off to what may be the best schooling system in the world.The 10-year-olds, who are natives of Shanghai, study in 35-minute bursts from around 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., with a small break for lunch -- and a class meeting --- sandwiched in the middle.Outside school hours, the girls' lives are lots of extra-curricular activities: English class, flute class, drumming class, handwriting class, calligraphy class, Taekwondo training, modelling lessons and choir practice.Shanghai was crowned --- for the second time …the champion of the Programme for International Student Assessment （PISA., which compares the maths, reading and science skills of some 510,000 secondary school students around the world）.Some experts question the value of comparing cities and countries. Others point out that Shanghais relatively well-funded schools and well-paid teachers are not representative of the Chinese education system as a whole.Even so, the latest results are likely to see more and more educators flock east in search of the mega-city's magic formula.Professor Kong Lingshuai of the College of Education at Shanghai Normal University has studied the city'sPISA successes. He says that the secret is a mix of "traditional elements and modern elements". The former is related to the high expectations of "tiger" parents, and a belief in Chinese children from a young age that effort is crucial to gaining a good education. The "modern elements" include Shanghai's willingness to constantly adapt its curriculum and teaching practices; its focus on improving under-achieving schools by pairing them with those that excel; its openness to foreign ideas; and the introduction of performance-related pay.An obsession with training has also been the key, says Prof. Kong. As of last year, new teachers have to undergo a standardized, one-year training course before starting in the classroom. Once qualified, they are required to complete at least 240 hours' training in their first five years, including online learning, paper reading, essay writing and so on. Teachers are also encouraged to attend each other's classes to promote a culture of "idea sharing, exchanging and positive competition".Outsiders often dismiss China's education system as a pressure-cooker-style craze of exams that places too much emphasis on rote-learning and does little to stimulate creativity. But in Shanghai at least, that may be starting to change. Authorities are attempting to move away from testing that relies too heavily on memorizing facts and figures, and some schools are also giving students more time to play, rather than just study.63. The author mentions Lucy Dong and Amy Zhu in the first 3 paragraphs to ________.A. praise the industriousness of these two girlsB. give readers the whole picture of Chinese educationC. illustrate what education in Shanghai looks likeD. criticize the burden the education brings on them64. Why do some experts challenge the result that Shanghai ranked 1st in PISA test?A. Because the value of PISA, which only tests 510,000 students globally, is cast doubt on.B.Because Shanghai has drawn more attention and resources from the central government.C. Because only maths, reading and science skills are compared in PISA test, which is not enough.D. Because Shanghai has a better system of financial support for schools as well as for teachers.65. Which of the following is closest in meaning to "dismiss"in the last paragraph?A. To consider something inferior.B. To stop thinking about something.C. To give the credit for something.D. To claim the features of something.66. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. Strict parents contribute little to the academic success of their children.B. Students have more free time to spend on their interest across China.C. Many education researchers are getting to Shanghai to study the phenomenon.D. Under-achieving schools are usually substituted by those academically superior schools.（D）A. Holidays are when my family gathers and has a good time together,B. School education has civilized me with a mind for peace and calm.C. My parents raised me with a lot of beliefs that have had an effect on who I am today.D. Summer is the time when we always organize some special events as a big family.E. However, I know that it is important to follow the golden rule and to treat others with dignity and respect.F. We take care of each other and try to treat others with respect.What Makes Me "Me"?My culture comes from where I am from and where I was raised. I am an American.I was born and raised in Alaska. My ethnic background is German, English, and Scottish. Culture is all about family. It is a family's belief systems, the cultural traditions that are celebrated, and the special holidays and events that occur in the year._____67_____These are the beliefs that don't just belong to my culture, but they come straight from the values of my family. I believe that women are more intelligent than men because my mother is a strong woman. I was raised to believe that through hard work I could become successful and have a good life. I strive to do this every day and to be good at my life and my jobs. I'm not really religious. _____ 68_____ I believe that if you are a good person to others you will be rewarded for it in many ways.There are a lot of cultural traditions that my family has. Some are from my cultural background and some are from the place where I was raised. I raise my son to have manners and to be well behaved. I raise him to know that hard work is important and that he is expected to put his best effort into things._____69_____We gather every summer in Haines so that all the cousins can grow up together. Birthdays were always important events while growing up. My mom was excited to celebrate every holiday. Trick or treating on Halloween, hiding baskets on Easter, passing out cards to classmates on Valentine's Day, wearing green on St. Patrick's Day, and of course loads of presents under the tree on Christmas morning. My parents always made holidays a big deal so now my son also gets to be excited for them every year.My culture makes me a person that celebrates life. My family has a lot of good friends and we are usually a good part of the community. ______70____ We like to go outdoors and have adventures. My belief systems, cultural traditions, and special events have made me a happy person who is fun to be around and who can have a positive impact on others.Keys31-35 JAFKE36-40 GCBHICloze41-45 ACDCB46-50 ADBDA 51-55 ACBDAReadingA:56-59 CABD B:60-62 DCB C:63-66 CDAC D:67-70 CEAF。

四川省成都市第七中学(高新校区)2023-2024学年高一上学期10月月考英语试题
四川省成都市第七中学（高新校区）2023-2024学年高一上学期10月月考英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解If you’re interested in pushing yourself academically while experiencing college life, our Summer Programs for Pre-College Students (SPP) can be ideal for you. In the programs, you will be able to make friends with fellow students, engage in social activities around the city and on campus, and experience pre-college summer study at one of the world’s top teaching and research universities.Our long-running summer term pre-college offerings include a choice of one-, two-, three-, and six-week programs that prepare you for success in college. With five exciting and challenging pre-college summer programs to choose from, you can earn college credit, discover a new subject area, perform cutting-edge research in university labs, or immerse yourself in hands-on learning.Academic lifeSPP invites you to join other highly motivated teens from 87 countries in our summer programs for high school students — and take the leap into college life and academics, which enables you to take on new academic challenges, explore a variety of interests and consider possible majors. You can take college courses alongside undergraduates either on campus or online. And you can also earn up to eight college credits by conducting in-depth STEM research with individual instructors or as part of a group project. Or, you can immerse yourself in a variety of stimulating noncredit seminars that blend lectures with experiential learning, discussions, and projects.Campus/Residence lifeEmbracing college life is an exciting experience. Whether you live on campus or commute, you’ll get to know the ins and outs of college and city life. If you live on campus, you will stay in the residence hall, sharing a room and participating in dorm activities.

Resident program assistants provide guidance, coordinate and lead social activities, ranging from group activities that include comedy shows to field trips.Your hard work will be combined with social events and fun activities — and you’ll still have time for your own adventures on campus! Email the SPP office at ******************. 1．What does SPP aim to do?A．To help college students to achieve academic success.B．To provide admission guidelines for pre-college students.C．To get high school students well-prepared for college life.D．To encourage students to participate in hands-on learning.2．What are students supposed to do to earn the required credits?A．Carry out STEM research.B．Attend various seminars.C．Finish the courses online.D．Join in experiential learning.3．What can we know about students living on campus?A．They can organize social activities.B．They will have access to a single room.C．They are provided with good security.D．They are advised to direct comedyshows.“I can’t connect with your characters.”I kept hearing the same feedback and was unable to understand why and not sure what to do. I was a character-driven writer. How could I mess up the one thing I was supposed to be good at? I was determined to convince my agent that these characters were real. After all, I knew they were real. My main character Lotus had lived inside me for years. I just needed to clarify her on the page.I wrote and edited for a year, trying to respond to this agent’s feedback. But Lotus’ personality began to disappear. I tried to have her make “better” decisions, wear smarter fashion, and have more friends, as my agent said she acted “immature” and was “isolated”. And when this agent ultimately parted ways with me, I felt like I had failed. Now with time and distance, I realize I tried to fit Lotus into a neurotypical style to please my agent. And as a result, Lotus lost her Lotus-ness.When that agent discouraged me from writing Lotus as autistic(自闭的), he said that would make Lotus seem more “vulnerable(脆弱的)” or an “obvious victim”. I didn’t want Lotus to seem vulnerable. Lotus’ autism is what makes her powerful, I tried to explain. But from a neurotypical perspective, Lotus’ autism could only be seen as a weakness.Unsure of how to convince my agent of the strength and power autistic women hold, Ibegan to write Lotus as “neurotypical”. And I failed miserably. After all, what do I know about being neurotypical? My whole life, autism was my default. Not being diagnosed until 2020, I assumed the way I saw the world was “normal”.My current agent encourages me to write from my neurodivergent(神经多样性的) experience. With this invitation, I revisited Lotus and saw her the way I first wrote her. And when I did, the characters and the entire narrative began to make more sense.Identifying my characters as neurodivergent not only gives me joy as a writer, but it has produced my strongest writing. For so long, I’ve combatted the advice to “write what I know”, in part because I didn’t know what I actually knew. I didn’t know I was neurodivergent. But as I mine the specificity of my lived experience, my writing is stronger. There is a power to our lived experience. It’s not a limitation on our craft, but a swinging open of the gates. 4．How did the author feel when receiving the repeated response from the first agent?A．Confused.B．Convinced.C．Determined.D．Disappointed. 5．Lotus’ personality got lost because ______A．Lotus no longer lived inside the author B．the author attempted to please the agent C．the agent failed to sympathize with Lotus D．Lotus was considered childish and lonely 6．What do we know about the author?A．She regretted parting with the agent.B．She owed her success in life to autism.C．She was aware of her autism in the early years.D．She was empowered by her autistic experience.7．What has the author learned from her own experience?A．Stick to your dream despite discouragement.B．Be true to yourself and write from your heart.C．Giving in to authority is the barrier to success.D．Everyone is born an original instead of a copy.At one time, the inheritance of traditional drama was difficult. People of insight screamed “save drama”. Many celebrities and big names put down their figures and went to the community to carry out public welfare performances of opera, and did everything possible to expand the coverage of drama. In recent years, traditional Chinese culture and art has gained a foothold on short video platforms and attracted a large number of young followersthanks to the explosive growth of the short video industry. Relaxing, emotional and fragmented, these video contents perfectly match the demands of the users. With the application of new technologies such as social communication and immersive experiencing, short video platforms are seeing more users, becoming a shining spot of new Internet media.Recently, Huangmei Opera “ Female Consort Prince ” became a hit on short video platforms as a lot of young users covered the aria (咏叹调) in their own way and showed great artistic talents. The interactive platforms are expanding the charm of the traditional opera among young people.Peking Opera was also well-received on short video platforms thanks to a series of augmented reality (AR) effects. Users love to film clips with a set of virtual facial makeup, headwear and costumes. Statistics indicate that these effects were applied by more than 18 million users, most of whom were young people.In addition to Chinese operas, intangible cultural heritage items, such as embroidery, paper-cutting, printing and dyeing, shadow play works, oiled paper umbrella making, and bamboo weaving are also actively promoted on short video platforms. In a word, short video platforms are becoming an important channel to display China’s intangible cultural heritage.Short video platforms, offering a fun, popular and easy way to explore the traditional art forms, are receiving a lot of positive feedbacks from China’s young generations. The seconds, or minutes long videos, along with unlimited possibilities as well as richness of styles, have produced remarkable achievements in promoting traditional Chinese culture.8．What mainly made the inheritance of traditional drama difficult?A．The slow growth of industry.B．The insufficient coverage of drama.C．The poorly-met demands of the users.D．The severe shortage of the drama actors. 9．What led to the promotion of Peking Opera on short video platform?A．The social communication.B．The set of virtual facial makeup.C．The positive feedbacks from users.D．The application of new technologies. 10．Why are paper-cutting and bamboo weaving mentioned?A．To expand the charm of traditional Chinese culture.B．To prove traditional art forms are actively promoted.C．To show the current situation of these cultural heritage.D．To offer new channels to display China’s cultural heritage.11．Which of the following is the best title for the text?A．The Bright Future of Huangmei Opera.B．The Explosive Growth of the Short Video Industry.C．The Simple Way to Explore the Traditional Art Form.D．The Creative Combination of Culture and Technologies.Several years ago, Jeremy Clarkson, presenter of the famous BBC television programme “Top Gear” discovered that one of his guests was half German and half Irish. Immediately, he said: “That's quite a strange combination. It's like, this must be done absolutely perfectly... tomorrow”.This joke played on stereotypes (刻板印象) of the Germans as efficient and the Irish as lazy. Many people could understandably be offended by these kinds of assertions (断言).We do not know every Irish person, so how can we then conclude that every Irish person is lazy?I recently read on a website that Irish business people were described as being 'generally rather casual' and more outwardly friendly than many European counties'. German business people, on the other hand, are considered to be very direct and according to the website, they do not need a personal relationship in order to do business. Once you hear advice like this,it becomes easier to understand where jokes like the one in the first paragraph come from.So why do some people disapprove of the kind of stereotypes as seen in Clarkson's joke, but not baring an eyelid (眨眼) when it comes to generalizations. What is the difference between the two?By definition, a stereotype is a widely held but fixed and oversimplified image or idea of a particular type of person or thing. A cultural characteristic, on the other hand, is a pattern of behaviour that is typical of a certain group.So what does this really mean? Stereotype are simply overstated assumptions about groups of people. Imagine if a tourist visited a small town in Switzerland and saw a number of locals playing the alphorn instrument, and then claimed that Swiss people can play the alphorn. This would be a stereotype! This is an overstated image of the Swiss which is based on one tourist's experience.If however, this tourist were to say that the Swiss are very punctual, this could be seen as a cultural characteristic. This is because it is a pattern of behaviour which is very typical in Switzerland: from their transport system to their business meetings in this way, some people argue that generalizing another culture is not just useful. but important. Politicians alwayshave to be mindful of the cultural characteristics of different countries. By becoming aware of different cultural characteristics,they can avoid causing offence (冒犯) in those cultures.However, others argue that generalizing cultures will always lead to offensive stereotypes. They argue that the best thing we can do is to stop generalizing cultures and start treating people as individuals.All this raises important questions: can making generalizations about groups of people be a positive thing? Or should we always avoid making broad assumptions about different groups?12．When he said, “it's like, this must be done absolutely perfectly... tomorrow”，Jeremy Clarkson really meant________.A．the stereotypes of the Germans and the Irish are not so goodB．the combination of half German and half Irish is interestingC．the characteristics of the Germans and the Irish are oppositeD．the Germans will do it perfectly tomorrow while the Irish won't13．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A．It's typical of the Swiss to be punctual.B．The Swiss can play the alphorn quite well.C．The Irish people are considered as lazy, direct and casual.D．The Germans are thought to be efficient, friendly and direct.14．Politicians think it important to generalize another culture because________.A．they don't want to offend other peopleB．generalizing will lead to offensive stereotypesC．cultural characteristics are better than stereotypesD．they think different cultural characteristics are useful15．The main purpose of this passage is to________.A．illustrate the importance of making generalizationsB．show it is wrong to play jokes on stereotypes of different peopleC．tell us the differences between stereotypes and cultural characteristicsD．discuss whether it is good to make generalizations about groups of people二、七选五“Just think positively!”“It could be worse.”“You should look at the bright side!”We’ve all heard (and maybe used) these phrases without much thought. But they could be contributing to a culture of toxic(有毒的) positivity. For those new to this term, it might sound like an oxymoron(矛盾修辞法). How can positivity be toxic? Isn’t it supposed to be helpful, or “positive”, as the name suggests? 16“Toxic positivity is when somebody avoids all negative thoughts or feelings, pretending everything is going well when it is not,” explains Melissa Dowd, a therapist at PlushCare, a virtual health platform for primary care and mental health services.Whitney Goodman, the author of Toxic Positivity describes toxic positivity as the “endless pressure to be happy and positive, no matter what the circumstances are.” 17 It’s also something we can cause other people to experience.Expressing toxic positivity to others may look like offering them a simple solution to a complicated problem that we know nothing about, or not allowing people around you to appropriately express negative emotions.Toxic positivity causes us to suppress our emotions, which can make them worse.18 “Although it can be helpful to look on the bright side when facing challenges,” Dowd says, “not coping with negative feelings in a healthy way in the moment can lead to those feelings resurfacing later in different areas of your life or as a form of anxiety.” 19 “If I feel like you’re going to dismiss me, I’m going to stop sharing how I’m feeling,” Goodman adds.20 If you’re using toxic positivity against yourself, Goodman suggests remembering it’s OK if you’re upset about something. It’s valid if something annoys you. “Allow ourselves and other people to share when they’re going through a difficult time,” she says. Dowd adds that it’s essential that “we all learn to cope with and process our emotions in a healthy way as opposed to avoiding how we feel” as life’s stressors continue to rise.

Where is the material probably from?A. Health magazineB. Scientific reportC. Education journalD. Travel guideBPeople love Shakespeare’s vocabulary and creativity. He used at least 15,000 words in his writing! But Bible’s Old Testament (旧约圣经) only contains 5,642 words, Shakespeare also invented many new terms and phrase.If someone’s behavior suggested they were not honest and should not be trusted, Shakespeare called them suspicious. If someone was ridiculous and perhaps looked like a fool, Shakespeare found their actions laughable. And for those who offered their opinions on something’s quality, Shakespeare called them critics (评论家). Today, for instance, food critics and film critics give their opinions on food and film.The familiar phrase “break the ice” comes from Shakespeare’s play The Taming of the Shrew. The “ice is broken” when people in a group, who have never met before, begin to talk to each other by doing some activities. More common words were first used by Shakespeare including “road”, “gossip”, “lonely”, “bump” and “hurry”.Four hundred years after his death. Shakespeare surely lives on, in everyday speech, as the most famous writer of all time.5．Shakespeare’s writings contain ________.A．over 15,000 words B．less than 15,000 wordsC．only 5,642 words D．less than 5,642 words6．Which of following can replace the underlined word “suspicious” on Paragraph 2?A．meaningful B．doubtful C．thoughtful D．powerful 7．Whose actions are considered laughable from Paragraph 2?A．Dishonest people’s B．Silly people’sC．Food critics’D．Film critics’8．What may be the best title for the text?A．Famous Words in English PlaysB．Shakespeare’s Influence on EnglishC．The Famous Writer --- ShakespeareD．Shakespeare’s Great LifeCPeople believe that every word has its correct meaning(s). When we are not sure, we usually check online, or turn to our teachers or dictionaries. But do you know how dictionaries were made in the past?First, dictionary writers read the important books of the period or the subject that the dictionary was about. As they read, they copied necessary information on cards: interesting words, common words—both in their daily uses and unusual uses, and also the sentences where they were used. That is to say, the words, along with the uses of each word, were collected. Fora really big dictionary, millions of such cards were collected. This task could last for years. After the cards were collected, they were put in alphabetical order(A—Z). When this was done, there would be several hundred cards for each single word.Then, to define(定义)a word, the dictionary writer placed its hundreds of cards before him. He read the cards closely, threw away some, read the rest again, and divided up the cards according to what he thought were the common uses of the word. Finally, he wrote the definitions, following the hard-and-fast rule: each definition must come from an example on a certain card in front of him.So, the writing of a dictionary was not a task of inventing meanings of words, but a task of recording their meanings. The writer of a dictionary was a historian, not a law maker.As time develops, the way of producing dictionaries has greatly changed. Nowadays, we can use online dictionaries too. When choosing dictionary.Howevering or writing, we can be guided by the dictionary.However, we cannot be controlled by it, because new situations, new experiences, new inventions, and new feelings are always pushing us to give new uses to old words.9. Which shows the correct steps of how dictionaries were made in the past?A.①—③—④—②B.①—②—④—③C.③—①—④—②D.③—④—②—①10. What can we learn from the passage about dictionary writing in the past?A. It was long-time hard work.B. It was a task of inventing and recording.C. It should be done by historians.D. It had to use the law-making rules.11. What does the writer advise us to do when we choose words in communication?A. Try to create new words.B. Follow the dictionary strictly.C. Use online dictionaries instead.D. Be open to the new uses of words.DWhen I was a boy growing up in New Jersey in the 1960s, we had a milkman delivering milk to our doorstep. His name was Mr. Basille. He wore a white cap and drove a white truck. As a 5-year-old boy, I couldn’t take my eyes off the coin changer fixed to his belt. He noticedthis one day during a delivery and gave me a quarter out of his coin changer.Of course, he delivered more than milk. There was cheese, eggs and so on. If we needed to change our order, my mother would pen a note — “Please add a bottle of buttermilk next delivery” — and place it in the box along with the empty bottles. And then, the buttermilk would magically (魔术般) appear.All of this was about more than convenience. There existed a close relationship between families and their milkmen. Mr. Basille even had a key to our house. Sometimes when it was too cold outside, we just put the box indoors so that the milk wouldn’t freeze. And I remember Mr. Basille from time to time taking a break at our kitchen table, having a cup of tea and telling stories about his delivery.There is sadly no home milk delivery today. Big companies allowed the production of cheaper milk, thus making it difficult for milkmen to compete. Besides, milk is for sale everywhere, and it may just not have been practical to have a delivery service.Recently, an old milk box in the countryside I saw brought back my childhood memories. I took it home and planted it on the back porch (门廊) . Every so often my son’s friends will ask what it is. So I start telling stories of my boyhood, and of the milkman who brought us friendship along with his milk.12. Mr. Basille gave the boy a quarter out of his coin changer to __________.A. show a magic trickB. pay for the deliveryC. satisfy his curiosityD. please his mother13. What can be inferred from the fact that the milkman had the key to the boy’s house?A. He wanted to have tea there.B. The milk had to be put indoors every time.C. He was related to the family.D. He was trusted by the family.14. Why does home milk delivery no longer exist?A. Nobody wants to be a milkman now.B. It has been driven out of the market.C. Its service is getting poor.D. It is not allowed by law.15. Why did the author bring back home an old milk box?A. He missed the good old days.B. He wanted to tell interesting stories.C. He needed it for his milk bottles.D. He planted flowers in it.第二节七选五（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。
