You’ll have the chance to view some of the most well-known structures in the city such as V&A Waterfront.Day3:Cape Point Tour Cape Point is home to a rocky yet scenic landscape.This tour includes a visit to the beautiful town of Hout Bay,an exciting30-minute tour on the ship to spot the playful seals jumping in and out of the water.In the Simons town cute penguins are waiting for you.Day4:Leisure Day Enjoy spending the day at leisure.Travelers can choose some exciting activities which are not included in the package and can cause extra charges like Skydiving,Hot Air Ballooning,etc.Day5:Departure Have breakfast and then check out and get to the airport for your journey back home with a bagful of memories.1．Which can be an alternative to Table Mountain?A．Signal Hill.B．Clifton&Sea Point C．Green Market Square.D．V&A Waterfront. 2．Which day might animal lovers anticipate?A．Day2.B．Day3.C．Day4.D．Day5. 3．For which activity do travelers need to pay extra money?A．Viewing famous structures.B．Visiting Hout Bay.C．Go skydiving.D．Observing seal.My husband Wade and I run Southern Koala Rescue and are committed to saving as many koalas as we can.One day,we were called out to rescue a koala that was stuck in a burning tree;but when the flames died down,we decided to return,thinking there could be other koalas that needed our help.Wade and I were walking through the blackened bushland with our team of volunteers when I spotted a koala on a burnt tree with a swollen and infected wound the size of a20-cent piece on its ing rings on the end of poles,we coaxed（哄诱）the koala down and put it in a carrier before having it examined.The wound needed a minor operation and,afterwards,the koala,who we named Claire,had to stay indoors to keep flies off the injury. Claire was frightened of me at first,but after four weeks I gained her trust.Finally,it was time for Claire to get ready to go outside and build up enough muscle movement to be released back into the wild.This was the most satisfying part of my job because not all koalas can be saved.I did miss them when they were gone,but I knew they were not meant to be pets.After the Black Summer fires destroyed so much of the country from2019to2020,extinction for koalas is a very real possibility.For individuals,one of the easiest ways you can help koalas is leaving a dish of water in your backyard.It can save a life and that counts.4．Why were the volunteer team called out？A．To put out a big fire.B．To save a trapped koala.C．To search for missing animals.D．To clear the blackened bushland.5．What can we learn about Claire？A．It was afraid of flies.B．It got hurt by hunters.C．It needed a major operation.D．It developed trust in humans.6．Which part of the job does the author find

app)will cut out many users’accounts on December20.To protect your account,repost this warning#KeepMyAccountSafe.”Every few months,it happens again-a dozen of annoying posts from my kids’friends suddenly start to appear on my Instagram news feed.According to a new study by Stanford University,most kids don’t know what news is fake.Researchers asked more than7,800middle school and high school students to complete56tasks,like distinguishing anadvertisement from a real news story on a website and determining which blog in a series was most reliable.They found that students judged the credibility of blogs based not on the source of the material,but on how much detail they contained,or whether a large photo was attached.“Many people assume that because young people are fluent in social media,they can distinguish fake news, but our work shows the opposite to be true,”wrote lead study author Sam Wineburg,a professor at Stanford’s Graduate School of Education.Both Google and Facebook are now taking steps to control misleading news from making its way on their platforms,but they won’t be able to eliminate it completely.That is why it’s now more important than ever to teach our kids to think critically when it comes to believing various information sources.“In the coming months,we look forward to sharing our assessments and working with educators to create materials that will guide young people in the sea of disinformation they encounter online,”said Wineburg. 8．How does the author introduce the topic of the passage?A．By stating opinions.B．By showing findings.C．By quoting sayings.D．By citing a post.9．According to researchers,what determines the credibility of online information?A．The source of the material.B．The popularity of the website.C．The amount of details.D．The size of relevant photos.10．What does the underlined word“eliminate”mean in paragraph4?A．Digest.B．Update.C．Estimate.D．Remove.11．Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A．Stronger Together:The Internet Changes Our LifeB．Be Careful:Kids Are Bad at Identifying Fake NewsC．Reliable News Has No Place on Social MediaD．Educators Have a Long Way to Go to Guide the YoungFor people who are deaf or hard of hearing,it can be difficult to pick out important sounds,such as knocks at the door or fire alarms.Now researchers at the University of Washington have developed a smartwatch app called SoundWatch,which identifies sounds and reminds users of them with a vibration and a visual readout.The project was led by Dhruv Jain,inspired by his own experience being hard of hearing.SoundWatch uses the smartwatch’s microphone to listen out for particular sounds,sends the data to a user’s connected phone for processing,then back to the watch to display in text what the sound is,and how loud it is.That’s accompanied by a vibration to tell the wearer that something has been detected.“This technology provides people with a way to experience sounds that require an action—such as getting food from the microwave when it beeps,which can improve people’s experiences and help them feel more connected to the world,”says Jain.“But it’s not perfect of course.The app sometimes gets it wrong,or takes too long to tell a user.However,these issues are being worked on.”Disability is highly personal,and Jain hopes his team can find ways for people to personalize this app for their own specific needs.For example,people can be told about the sounds they care about-a husband’s or wife’s voice versus general speech,the back door opening versus the front door opening,and more.12．What does“them”in paragraph1refer to?A．Researchers.B．Apps.C．Sounds.D．Fire alarms.13．What is mainly discussed about SoundWatch in paragraph2?A．How it works.B．Why it is invented.C．Who it is intended for.D．What it can detect.14．Which word can best describe Jain’s attitude to SoundWatch?A．Doubtful.B．Critical.C．Objective.D．Disapproving.15．What does Jain expect SoundWatch to be?A．Affordable.B．Personally tailoredC．Multifunctional.D．Fashionably designed.二、七选五Bill Gates started Microsoft when he was19and has since become one of the world’s wealthiest people. Mark Zuckerberg owns one of the most highly-valued tech companies in America.Steve Jobs founded Apple in his garage.What do these three people have in common?16．In fact,there are countless others who have started successful businesses without first earning a bachelor’s degree.17．The short answer is“YES”,despite the fact that it is possible to succeed without a degree.But the longer answer is that succeeding without a degree-especially to the level that Gates,Zuckerberg,and Jobs did-is the exception,not the general rule.18．Let’s look at some statistics.Through2021,there will be55million job openings in America.19．Even when a job does not require it,91percent of jobs actually go to people who have one.Needless to say,people with bachelor’s degrees are more likely to be employed and have a higher paying job. Hence,they are more financially secure.Of course,financial security is not everything.20．The people you meet in college will become part of an institutional support network that you can later call upon for work advancements, guiding programs,and additional skill-building prospects.A．None of them finished college.B．What does a college degree ensure you？C．There’s more to a degree than earning potential.D．Success starts the day they get bachelor’s degrees.E.Is a college degree still necessary in today’s world？F.75percent of those will require a bachelor’s degree.G.For most people,earning a bachelor’s degree still gives them clear advantages.三、完形填空A few years ago,I was at the clinic with my father,who was sitting in the waiting room for a routine test.

AAffordable Beach V acation in CorfuCorfu an island off the coast of Greece, offers visitors sunkissed shores with clear water and lots of beaches.Finding the Perfect BeachOur first pick is Sidari Beach. It’s a blue flag beach perfect for couples looking for a more private feel, as it’s far from bigger tourist destinations. Issos Beach makes for the perfect pl ace for watching the sunset. Dassia Bay has a bit more water sports. Paleokastritsa is an amazing West Coast village with six beaches on offer, including Rovinia Beach.Getting around CorfuCorfu offers bike rentals and bus service as a cheaper alternative (替代) to taxis. The best time to visit Corfu is during the “shoulder season” in April/May. The weather isn’t as warm as the high seasons but it remains perfect. It is not crowded in this period, but you still need to book ahead of schedule as Corfu stays popular throughout the year.Eating Out For LessThere are a lot of well-priced restaurants but street food is also a big winner. Some popular choices are Souvlakia and Pita Gyros. There are also many cheeses special to Greece, including Tirokafteri and Ladotyri. Corfu also has many unbelievable desserts (甜食). Stazei Meli is a tourist favourite to give them a try.1. Which place is probably the best choice for couples?A. Sidari Beach.B. Dassia Bay.C. Issos Beach.D. Rovinia Beach.2. What are tourists required to do to visit Corfu?A. Rent a bike.B. Book in advance.C. Wear warm clothes.D. Set off in April/May.3. What do we know about Stazei Meli?A. It cooks popular dishes.B. It severs well-priced food.C. It produces special cheese.D. It sells amazing desserts.BAs the oldest of three children, I never had any hand-me-downs to wear like other poor kids. Instead, Mom got my wardrobe (行头) from neighborhood mothers. Imagine the fun other kids had when they saw me wearing their used clothing.Perhaps my biggest challenge came from Charlie. As far as I was concerned, Charlie’s main fun was to make fun of me. During those years, I slowly learned to hate. I hated Charlie, but I also hated myself for not being able to change my situation.But situations do change. That opportunity came after high school when I joined the Navy. The Navy made me a social equal for the first time in my life, and the GI Bill gave me a college education. Hard work and a few lucky career (职业) choices finally lifted me into the middle class.I found myself living the American Dream.One beautiful summer afternoon, my friend and I celebrated Friday in Jackson’s Steak House. For the first time in almost twenty years, I saw Charlie. Not only did I see him, but he spoke to me.I could tell he didn’t recognize me, but I surely recognized my childhood tormentor (摧残者). His words were short, but I’ll never forget them. He said, “Sir, what kind of dressing would you like with your salad?”The tables h ad turned. Charlie was calling me “Sir.” While hundreds of improper ideas raced through my mind, I could only give a two-word reply: “Blue cheese.” As much as I wanted to taste the sweet taste of revenge (复仇), I refused to do it. I wouldn’t put another per son through what I had gone through as a child. It was time to put childish things behind me and make use of the new opportunity that life had given me. I left him a good tip and I didn’t say one word about recognizing him.4. Where did the author usually get his clothes as a kid?A. His mum bought them for him.B. They were from other families.C. Other poor kids collected them for himD. They were handed down by his brothers.5. Which word best describes the author’s childhood?A. Painful.B. Funny.C. Strange.D. Lucky.6. What job did Charlie probably do?A. A hairdresser.B. A waiter.C. A soldier.D. A cook.7. What is the best title of the passage?A. Live your own American Dream.B. Best memories in childhood.C. Don’t hate but love your enemy.D. Growing up and letting goCWhen my kids, ages 11 and 8, race through the back door after school, often the first thing out of their mouths is: “Mom! Can we play Prodigy?” After a quick thinking of how much screen time they’ve already had for the week and ho w much peace and quiet I need to finish my work, I accept. After all, Prodigy is a role-playing video game that encourages kids to practice math facts. It’s educational. Right?Though video games are increasingly making their way into classrooms, scientists say the facts are lacking (缺乏) on whether they can actually improve learning.Some of the first evidence (证据) that gaming may train the brain came from first-person shooter games. It was first found by C. Shawn Green, an undergraduate studying at the University of Rochester in New York. He gave his friends a test of visual (视觉的) attention, and their scores were amazing. He and his research adviser, Daphne Bavelier, thought there must have been a problem in the test. But when Bavelier took the test, her scores were normal. The difference wasthat Green’s friends had all been devoting more than 10 hours per week to Team Fortress Classic, a first-person shooter game.In other studies, researchers found that gamers who trained on Tetris were better at moving two-dimensional (空间的) shapes than those who played a control game. Students who played two hours of All You Can E. T. improved their focus-shifting skills compared with students who played a word search game. Not surprisingly, the skills that games can improve are the ones that players end up practicing over and over during the course of play.The next step is to figure out how these findings may translate to the classroom. Although this research is still developing, I’m sure about my own kids’ ever-increasing requests for screen time—especially when they beg to play games designed to help them master math.8. What is the purpose of the first paragraph?A. To lead in the topic.B. To explain what Prodigy is.C. To introduce the author’s family.D. To prove the importance of video games.9. What does the underlined word “they” in the second paragraph refer to?A. Video games.B. Classrooms.C. Scientists.D. Facts.10. Who did the best in the test of visual attention?A. Mr Green.B. Mrs. Bavelier.C. Green’s friends.D. A graduate.11. Why can those playing Tetris do well in turning two-dimensional shapes?A. Tetris is only a control gameB. They focus on shifting skills.C. They practise the relative skills many times.D. The skills needed are similar to those in word search games.DGool sbee, now a professor at the University of Chicago’s Booth School of Business, said the rising number of Americans out of work forever paints a troubling picture about the recovery (恢复).“If we are on path to only be two-thirds recovered,” Goolsbee wrote, “and then have millions of businesses closed down and the jobs there lost fast, there will be years for us to try to get back onto the path we were on before.”And those everlasting job losses will influence the economy. People out of work may cutback spending or even stop it. They are at risk of falling behind on car payments, credit card bills and bank loan (贷款). Those risks are magnified by the fact that the government has so far failed to provide additional economic recovery policies (政策) — even though the US economy is in great need of them.“Good insurance (保险) policies for people out of work have helped them pay the loan much more easily,” Principal’s Shah wrote, “but with everl asting job losses clearly rising and still no sign of an additional economic recovery package, the trouble will become more widespread and obvious.”The hope is that those recognized as jobless at present will in the end get a job somewhere else. Even though some restaurants, shops and small businesses have shut down, new companies are opening each day here and there. But there is a time limit at play because the time of continuously out of job influences the chances of getting another job. “The longer you’re out of the job market,” said PNC’s Faucher, “the more difficult it becomes to find a new one.” Many Americans who had a job loss or had a too long vacation without any payment are eagerly looking forward to another job.12. What does the underlined word “magnified” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A. Reduced.B. Enlarged.C. Avoided.D. Unchanged.13. What’s Shah’s attitude towards the government’s present economy policies?A.

Reading ComprehensionSection ALet's face it: while we go to the office to work, no one is expected to keep their head down the entire time they're there. Yet companies expect 41 out of their employees: that's why they're paying you to be there.

Passages(A)Massive changes in all of the world's deeply cherished sporting habits are underway.Whether it's one of London's parks full of people playing softball, and Russians taking up rugby,or the Superbowl rivaling the British Football Cup Final as a televised spectator event in Britain,the patterns of players and spectators are changingbeyond recognition. We are witnessing a globalization of our sporting culture.That annual bicycle race, the Tour de France, much loved by the French is a good case in point. Just a few years back it was a strictly continental affair with France, Belgium and Holland,Spain and Italy taking part. But in recent years it has been dominated by Colombian mountain climbers, and American and Irish riders. The people who really matter welcome the shift toward globalization. Peugeot, Michelin and Panasonic are multi-national corporations that want worldwide returns for the millions they invest in teams. So it does them literally a world of good to see this unofficial world championship become just that.This is undoubtedly an economy-based revolution we are witnessing here, one made possible by communications technology, but made to happen because of marketing considerations.Sell the game and you can sell Coca Cola or Budweiser as well.a American football has been sold to Europe is a good example ofhow all sports will develop. The aim of course is not really to spread the sport for its own sake, but to increase the number of people interested in the major money-making events. The economics of the Superbowl are already astronomical. With seats at US$125, gate receipts alone were a staggering $10, 000, 000. The most important statistic of the day, however, was the $100, 000, 000in TV advertising fees. Imagine how much that becomes when the eyes of the world are watching.So it came as a terrible shock, but not really as a surprise, to learn that some people are nov suggesting that soccer change from being a game of two 45-minute halves, to one of fou25-minute quarters. The idea isunashamedly to capture more advertising revenue, without giving any thought for the integrity of a sport which relies for its essence on the flowing nature of the action.Moreover, as sports expand into world markets, and as our choice of sports as consumers also grows, so we will demand to see them played at a higher and higher level. In boxing we have already seen numerous, dubious world title categories because people will not pay to see anything less than a "World Title" fight, and this means that the title fights have to be held in differe countries around the world!56.Globalization of sporting culture means that___________A.more people are taking up sportsB traditional sports are getting popularC.many local sports are becoming internationalD. foreigners are more interested in local sports57. Which of the following is NOT related to the massive changes in the world's deeply cherished sporting habits?A.Good economic returns.B.Revival of traditional games.C. Communications technology.D. Marketing strategies.58. The author's attitude towards the suggestion to change soccer into one of four 25-minut quarters is______.A. favorableB. neutralC. reservedD. critical59. This passage mainly discusses_.A.the commercialization of sporting cultureB.the worldwide popularization of sportsC.the speculation in sporting eventsD.the restoration of sportsmanship(B)We asked you to________in 50 words or fewer. Once again, you didn't disappoint us.Here are our favourites, Which one do you like the best? Write and let us know.[1] My uncle has a 1974 Ferrarl Dino 308-'a thing of beauty,a joy forever', a poet once said. It's the perfect balance of engineering and design. The noise it makes as it pulls away, sets my heart racing. A flash of Ferrari red and it's gone.[2] Fading light. The last gasps of the day. On Earth, colours lose their hold as the sky above drains them. Crimson, rose, blood red. On Earth, I watch in amazement. The sun takes its farewell and dips behind the horizon. I leave, wondering what new beauties the day to come will bring[3] He turns, he stops, he turns and runs, he stops and turns againNo two moves are the same.He looks up, he looks down.He looks forward, he looks round.Will he pass? Will he shoot? Will he turn again?[4] As I watch my cat feed her hungry kittens, all eight of them, each fighting for a space, I think about the miracle of life---how well it all works, how well it all fits together. Does anything get perfect?[5] I'm sitting here, head in hand. There is no room left in my head. It's ready to explode.And then the bell sounds, loud and welcome. The sound echoes... echoes through the corridors.Happy children put downtheir pens and wait for the words, simple but beautiful:'Off you go.'[6] I live by the sea. Where else is there to live? The sea fills my heart with joy. A big blu expanse of happiness, The crashing waves, obeying no one, come and then go. I always return to the sea. It knows the answers before I even ask the questions[7]'Hello,I'm home.'It brings a smile to my face when I hear my wife's voice.I look up and she's there. Has she walked out of a painting? She is beauty,' is all I think.60. Which of the following phrases fits best in the blank of the first paragraph?A.define beautyB.write a poemC.recommend a songD.describe creativity61.Which two posts above both talk about nature?A.Post 1 and Post 7.B.Post 2 and Post 6.C.Post 2 and Post 3.D.Post 4 and Post 7.62. In Post 5, the writer is actually talking about_.A.his/her noisy kidsB.the power of musicC.a terrible explosionD.the time when school is over(C)For the most part, it seems, workers in richer countries have little to fear from globalization. And a lot to gain. But is the same thing true for workers in poor countries? The answer is that they are even more likely than their rich-country counterparts tobenefit，because they have less to lose and more to gain Traditional economics takes an optimistic line on integration(整合）and the developing countries. Openness to foreign trade and investment should encourage capital to flow to poor economies. In the developing world, capital is scarce, so the returns on investment there should be higher than in the industrialized countries, where the best opportunities to make money by adding capital to labour have already been used up. If poor countries lower their barriers to trade and investment, as the theory goes, rich foreigners will want to send over some of their capital.If this inflow of resources arrives in the form of loans or portfolio investment(组合投资）,it will top up domestic savings and loosen the financial restriction on additional investment by local companies. If it arrives in the form of new foreign-controlled operations, FDI, so much the better this kind of capital brings technology and skills from abroad packaged along with it, with less financial risk as well. In either case, the addition to investment ought to push incomes up, partly by raising the demand for labour and partly by making labour more productive.This is why workers in FDI-receiving countries should be in an even better position to profit from integration than workers in FDI-sending countries. Also, with or without inflows of foreign capital, the same gains from trade should apply in developing countries as in rich ones. The gains from trade logic often arouse suspicion, because the benefits seem to come from nowhere. Surely one side or the other must lose. Not so. The benefits that a rich country gets through trade do not come at the expense of its poor country trading partners, or vice versa. Recall that according to the theory, trade is a positive sum game. In all thesetrades, both sides-exporters and importers,borrowers and lenders, shareholders and workers can gain.63. Why are workers in poor countries more likely to benefit from the process of globalization?A. They can get more financial aidB . They have nothing to loseC. They have less to lose and more to gain.D. They can get more chances to gain a good job.64. What can be the final result of the inflow of the resource?A. It will top up domestic savings.B. It will loosen the financial restriction.C.It will push people's incomes up.D. It will bring technology and skills from abroad.65. What can we know from the last paragraphA.Poor countries get the most profit during the process of trade.B. Rich countries get profit from trade at poor countries' expense.C.Poor countries get more profit from trade than rich ones.D.All aspects involved in the trade can get benefit.66. Which can be the most appropriate title for this passage?A.Benefited or HurtB.Who Benefits the MostC.Helping the PoorD.The Inflow of ResourcesSection C(8%)Directions: Complete the following passage by using the sentences given below. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.A. What we wear can reflect our skin colour.B. Other participants wore their normal clothes.C. The clothes we wear can affect our behavior.D. Some experts believe that the participants with white coats are more likely to be more creative.E. For example, we should choose a look that makes us feel more creative and happy.F. Galinsky and Adams think that the white coats made the participants feel more confident and careful .The science of styleDeciding what to wear in the moming is a challenge for some people. We often worry about what others will think of us because of our clothes. But researchers are beginning to think that our wearing has an equally powerful effect on how we see ourselves.Scientists Adam Galinsky and Hajo Adams report that there is science behind our style. In their research, Galinsky and Adams had some participants wear white lab coats similar to the ones scientists or doctors wear. ____67______The participants took a test that measured theirability to pay attention. The people wearing the white coats performed better than the people in regular clothes.____68____The researchers also believe that other kinds of "symbolic" clothescan influence the behavior of the people wearing them. A police officer's uniform or a judge's robe, for example, increases the wearer's feeling of power or confidence. And in workplaces that have a dress code,"symbolic"clothes may also affect how well employees do their jobs.Fashion blogger Jessica Quirk believes that our clothes greatly affect how we feel about ourselves. On her blog called"What I Wore," Quirk posts a photo of what she's wearing every day.She says that people should pay more attention to what they wear_____69______ One way to do this at work is to "dress up for the exciting job we want," she says, "not the boring job we have."Another way is to wear special clothes that mean something to us. For example, Quirk wears one pair of shoes to all her important meetings. They are her "lucky" shoes.As Quirk points out-and as researchers have discovered-our clothes are "like our second skin."___70____They can also tell the world something about us, without us having to say a word.IV.Summary Writing(10%)Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize in no more than 60 words the main idea of the passage and how it is illustrated. Use your own words as far as possible.It's not piano lessons or dance classes. Nowadays, the biggest extra-curricular activity is going to a tutor. "I spend about 800 Canadian dollars a month on tutors. It's costly," says Pat, a mother in Canada. However, she adds, "after finding out half my daughter's class had tutors, I felt like my child was going to fall behind because everyone else seemed to be ahead."Shelley, a mother of three, also has tutors constantly coming in and out of her home. "When I used to sit down with my children, it was hard to get them focused. I was always yelling. When I got a tutor once a week, they became focused for one entire hour and could get most of their homework done."Tutoring isn't simply a private school phenomenon. Nor is it geared(适应，满足）only toward lower-achieving students. In Canada alone, seven percent of high school students reported using a tutor in 2010. That increased to 15 percent last year.Overall, parents hire tutors because they are worried schoolsare not meeting their expectations, but there is also a cultural shift. A special value is placed on education in Asia, where tutoring is viewed as an extension of the school day. As a large number of Asians emigrated to the West over the recent years, their attitudes towards education have had an impact.Another reason for the growth in business is parental frustration and their packed schedules. "A lot of parents just don't have time to help their children with homework," says Julie Diamond,president of an American tutoring company."Others couldn't help their children after Grade 3."There has been a shift in the attitudes, too. "Children used to get bullied for having a tutor,"Diamond says. "Now it's becoming the norm to have one."Children don't seem to mind that they have a tutor. One parent feels surprised that so many of her child's classmates have tutors. "For the amount we pay in tuition, they should have as much extra help as they need," she says. Still, she's now thinking of getting a tutor. Why? Her daughter has actually asked for one.V.Translation(15%)Directions: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.72、你越努力，收获就会越大。

What's more, I didn't care about mental health. Why would I As Dad used to say, "If it isn't broken, don't fix it!"But unfortunately my mental health did "break". I was diagnosed （诊断）as seriously clinically anorexic （厌食的）at age 23. I had immediate treatment in hospital, which lasted two and a half years. People always wonder what helped me recover and the key was simple：comedy （喜剧）.I'm a professional stand-up comic. Comedy began as my hobby and has progressed into a job. The word "comedy" is believed to come from the Ancient Greek kōmos meaning "to reveal"，whose job is to reveal, explain and understand things. This was something I turned to when I was in recovery from anorexia. I'd never been able to explain what going on inside my head；trying to explain what's going on in your mind is like trying to explain a color to someone who's blind. So humour became a way of understanding things and then a way of explaining them. Dr Dieter Declercq, Lecturer in Film at the University of Kent, believes "Humor can change our opinions on a difficult situation". However, he adds carefully that "We should avoid judgments like all humour is good for you." In his new book Satire, Comedy and Mental Health, he looks at how comedy can be used as a mental health method. Enjoyed with others, it is important for good mental health and recovery.Stand-up comedy was important to my recovery. I know I'm not alone in that. So I want to pay that forward and show other people your mental health doesn't have to be "broken" before you can "fix it".13.How did the author treat the issue of mental health as a teenager______A. She took it seriously.B. She was confident of it.C. She hated talking about it.D. She paid no attention to it.14.What does the author intend to do in paragraph 3？______A. Explain how comedy helps.B. Share what she went through.C. State where comedy comes from.D. Show why comedy is a common hobby.15.What does the underlined word "it" in Paragraph 4 refer to______A. Comedy.B. Film.C. A difficult situation.D. The new book.16.In which section of a magazine is this text probably from？______A. Health & Life.B. Man & Nature.C. Science & Technology.D. Society & Opinion.(2021·山东省潍坊市·期中考试)CWhat is talent？Are you born with it？Or does it seem to develop over time？Before I start, I'd like to say that one thing everyone agrees on is that the most skilled musicians have worked hard to get there.While it's true that a few of us had enough "talent" to avoid extra practice to do just as well as those who did, those who worked hard easily beat us. It is, in fact, very likely that if some of us "talented ones" had actually been practicing and improving our skill, we would have achieved a whole different level.Another aspect of talent seems to be heart and passion （酷爱）. The people I see who are the most talented musicians are crazy about music. They eat, breathe, and live music and they make an extraordinary effort to make it part of their lives. As Remus Badea said, desire for the musician-to-be is significant for them to be successful. This desire is easily found in those considered to be talented. When you want and love something so bad, it drives you and your entire character can be shaped around it. Such determined passion seems to produce incredible skill and talent.The third aspect（方面）of talent is having talent around you. When surrounded by talented musicians, it only seems natural that you start to catch up to their level Take a look at almost any group of musicians in history. The more talented people in the group the more talented the group is as a whole. A great example of this is the relationship between audio producer and artist. The artist turns up to the studio with their song,and as they work through recording it, the audio producer will often suggest various changes to the song to make it better.17.What can we learn from Paragraph 2？______A. Pride goes before a fall.B. It's never too old to learn.C. Practice contributes to talent.D. Talent determines achievements.18.What is the key to success according to Remus Badea______A. Passion.B. Character.C. Skill.D. Talent.19.Why is the example mentioned in the last paragraph？______A. To introduce what real talents are.B. To explain how a song is composed.C. To prove talents need team spirit.D. To show the benefits of being with talents.20.What might the author probably agree with______A. Music has no limits.B. Musicians are born with talent.C. Music favors the talented.D. Musicians are created, not born.(2021·山东省潍坊市·期中考试)DThe use of AI （artificial intelligence）is becoming more common in many branches of industry and online shopping. Traditional lines of work, such as goods transport and driving, are developing in a similar direction although mainly out of public view. Scientists at the University of Göttingen have now investigated how efficient （高效的）the use of AI can be in the commercial management of trucks."Digital applications-as well as machine leaning, a kind of AI-are increasingly applied to operations and courses in the transport area," explains Professor Matthias Klumpp from the Faculty of Economics. "The question in the commercial area, however, is whether or not this contributes to achieving goals."To answer this question, the researchers compared the work efficiency of truck drivers with their main use of AI applications. Looking at trade delivery by truck, they studied three groups：the first drove completely following human decision-making models；the second used a combination of human and machine；and the third depended completely on fully automated decisions.The researchers found that an intelligent combination of human work and decision-making abilities with AI applications promises the highest transport and driving efficiency. "On average, the second group achieved the most efficient transport trips, with the fewest interventions （干预）and off-course from the best path." one researcher said, "Clearly, neithera completely human decision-making structure nor a fully automated driving system can promise to meet current goods transport requirements." The scientists therefore summarized that despite the progress of AI in the field of transportation by truck, human experience and decision-making abilities will still be necessary in the longer term. However, the challenge is that a wide range of training and qualification （资格）needs will come along by working with AI applications, especially for simple goods transport activities.21.What does Matthias Klumpp focus on？______A. The efficiency of AI.B. The advantages of AI.C. The problems caused by AI.D. The wide applications of AI.22.How did the researchers get the finding______A. By providing examples.B. By making comparisons.C. By using different trucks.D. By listing three experiments.23.What can we know from the last paragraph？______A. AI is better at making decisions.B. A balance is needed between human and AI.C. Human will soon be replaced by AI in driving.D. AI applications meet the current requirements.24.What is the best title for the text______A. The future of transportB. Artificial intelligence as a co-driverC. Artificial intelligence-a better choice in drivingD. The strengths of artificial intelligence in transport三、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共12.5分）(2021·山东省潍坊市·期中考试)Due to its faraway location in the Pacific Ocean, New Zealand was one of the last countries to be discovered by humans. Although most of the current population are European descendants, it was the minority group known as the Maori who were the first to settle there. （1）______ .Maori arts are very popular with tourists. The Waka is a traditional canoe （独木舟）that has been skillfully carved out of a tree trunk, with beautiful carvings added to show tribal （部落的）history and culture.（2）______ .

But his study came to a stop at 23 after he hurt his hand in an unpleasant event. He developed schizophrenia(精神分裂症) later and spent many years without a home.Carter liked to spend time around UT, because he dreamt of being able to continue his study in the university and becoming a writer. After running into Carter many times, UT student Ryan Chandler decided to interview him for a project for the Daily Texan, the student newspaper of UT.“I interviewed him on Austin’s homeless problems. After I heard his story, we kept in touch and really became friends. I learned he wanted to get back to UT, so I decided to help him,” said Chandler. “He had got 87 hours, very close to a degree. Now, with changing degree requirements, he only has 64 hours to go.”With the help of Chandler, who worked with the university office, Carter was assigned an adviser by UT’s College of Fine Arts. “It' s the greatest gift I’ve ever received,” Ca rter said. “He did what had to be done to get me back to school, and I couldn't have done it without him”After seeing a magazine article about Carter, a UT schoolmate decided to pay his tuition fees (学费)without telling Chandler his name.Doug Dempster, dean of the College of Fine Arts, said in a statement, “David Carter's decision to complete his degree is a testament (证明) to finishing well what was started, and stopped, even many years earlier. We welcome him back as we do many students each year whose education could not be completed easily. We’ re going to help him through his remaining course work.”4. Why did Carter stop studying in the university?A. He hurt an artist.B. He couldn’t afford his study.C. He got a strange disease.D. He had a hand injury.5.

Believe it or not, that decision could make a world of difference in the rest of your day.About 85 percent of Americans use an alarm clock to wake up in the mornings, according to sleep researcher Till Roennenber. And while there are no official numbers on snoozing (打盹), a quick survey of social media makes it clear that hitting the snooze button is a popular pastime.As to how the snooze button will affect your day, scientists have mixed opinions. Some scientists think people who hit the snooze button in the mornings are actually clever, creative and happy while some said that hitting the snooze button will ruin your life, or at the very least your day. "I feel that hitting the snooze button has got to be one of the worst things that ever happened to human sleep,” researcher Jonathan Horowitz said. "The chances of you ‘snoozing’ and actually experiencing a meaningful rest are close to zero.”According to some sleep experts, when hitting the snooze button，you are in fact confusing your body and mind, and throwing yourself into a deep state of being sleepy. The body needs some time to wake up, so, when returning to what will be a light sleep for a brief period of time, you are putting your body back into a sleep mode before waking it again. At that point your body won’t know what it wants, resulting in a sort of half awaken state.If you really want to take advantage of an alarm clock, the key is to form a healthy sleep cycle. Focus your efforts on getting enough sleep each night and waking up at the same time each day so that when your alarm goes off you feel rested.8. What can we infer about hitting the snooze button from Paragraph 2?A. People do it just for fun.B. It is a common practice.C. People take it seriously.D. It is a bit childish.9. What do some sleep experts think of hitting the snooze button?A. It is meaningful in the long term.B. It makes people become lazy.C. It brings us a sense of satisfaction.D. It affects our body and mind.10. What’s the author’s suggestion on getting the best out of alarms?A. Forming a good sleep habit.B. Trying to relax ourselves.C. Making use of willpower.D. Using an extra alarm.11. What is the best title for the text?A. Ways to keep refreshed in the morning.B. The snooze button and people's character.C. Should you rely on the snooze button?D. How to avoid the light sleep mode?DA storm hit Houston, Texas, on Tuesday. It brought heavy rains and rising flood-waters. By Tuesday night, some parts of the city had received 10 inches of rain. Police and firefighters helped people move to safe places. They also saved people from cars and buses that were stuck on roads.Certain areas around Houston were hit really hard. In just four hours, more than seven inches of rain fell in Sugar Land in the southwest of Houston. Cars could not pass through any of the areas main roadways.

In the Houston area, 36 people died and about 150, 000 homes were flooded.A spokesman for the Harris County Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Management spoke with the Houston Chronicle. The spokesman said that this week’s rain is “not in any way a Harvey-level event.”But the worst may not be over yet. People will have a break from the heavy rain on Wednesday. According to the National Weather Service, the Texas Gulf Coast will continue to experience heavy rain later in the week. "Today should be our quietest over the next few days for rainfall,” sai d Don Oettinger, a National Weather Service meteorologist (气象学家).Houston Fire Chief Samuel Peia warned, “As there is too much water on the ground, these are perfect conditions for flash floods, so we hope people are careful of what they’re doing and e ncourage them to stay home. There’s no sense in putting yourself, firefighters or anybody in danger needlessly.”12. What are Paragraphs 1 and 2 mainly about?A. Flood damage in Houston.B. Flood prevention in Houston.C.
