2023-2024学年浙江省杭州市高一上学期1月期末英语试题Fly like superman!Have you ever imagined how it feels when fresh air is in your face? Or to see the beauty of nature from the top? You can do it in a hot air balloon ride.Hot air ballooning is the activity of flying in a basket hanging over a hot air balloon. Attractive parts of ballooning include the unusual quiet, the lack of a feeling of movement, and the bird’s-eye view. Since the balloon moves with the direction of the winds, the passengers feel absolutely no wind, except for brief periods during the flight when the balloon climbs or falls into air currents of different directions or speeds. Hot air ballooning has been recognized by the World Aeronautical Federation(WAF)as the safest air sport, and accidents seldom happen. However, you must follow some rules such as:* You have to respect the limit of passengers allowed in the ride. A catlán has drawn new attention to the danger of ballooning. Four years ago, 1 1 people were injured and 2 were killed when their hot air balloon basket struck in line and caught fire.*The pilot must check the weather and select a suitable take-off point. The current and forecast weather must have good visibility for the pilot to see, and slow winds to allow take-off and landing. * Children aged under twelve have to be with their parents all the tour.* Pilots must not carry passengers who have participated in scuba dive (蛙潜) the day before.There are many regular (定期) gatherings of balloons and balloonists in Hidalgo around the year, which provide both a place for balloonists to interact as well as a place for visitors to entertain. You must try this activity at least once in a lifetime.1. What is an attraction of hot air ballooning?A．Hearing the sound of the wind. B．Enjoying a breathtaking view.C．Experiencing different weather.

In fact, the 28-year-old lives a very different existence from his colleagues. He gives away everything he earns over £42,000–a figure that he thought he could comfortably live on.Over the past five years, Reece-Smith has handed over more than £250,000 to organizations such as International Care Ministries, which helps poor families in the Philippines, and the Against Malaria Foundation. He is part of a growing number of young professionals described as “effective altruists”. Effective altruists typically donate regula rly to a charity which they think will have a great impact (影响). Some change careers to make more money, which can then be given away.Reece-Smith considered working in the charity sector after graduating from university, but thought that he could make a bigger difference by donating a large part of his salary. He had volunteered as a teacher at a school in Tanzania, but then realized that earning and giving would be more effective. “The cost of my flights there could have paid the salaries of two teachers for an entire year,” he says. Instead, he could “stay at home, living a nice life and still make a huge difference in the world”.He is not mean with money-last year he went to Cuba on holiday, and spent several thousand pounds on a new sofa. But his lifes tyle isn’t as luxurious as some of the people he works with. “I usually don’t buy supermarket-branded food products, but I don’t own a car. Other people on my salary might have a bigger house. Some of my colleagues have four-bedroom houses, but we only bought what we needed-a two-bedroom flat.£42,000 is more than enough to live on and still save,” he says.4. How much money does Grayden spend on donation every year?A．Less than £42,000. B．Over £100.000.C．£50,000. D．Any income over £42,000.5. What may an “effective altruist” do according to the text?A．Donate to impactful charities. B．Make more money to enjoy lives.C．Create a good public image. D．Enter a teaching profession.6. Why did Grayden decide to donate money but not work in the charity sector?A．To access his inner life. B．To create a stronger effect.C．To give away all of his salary. D．To be a teacher at a school.7. What can be inferred about Grayden from the text?A．He leads an expensive lifestyle. B．He buys food produced by supermarkets.C．He lives in a four-bedroom house. D．He balances his life and donation.In the past few weeks, Richard Eckersley has noticed a change in the type of people who come into his shop. In 2017, the former Manchester United footballer set up Earth. Food. Love in Tones, Devon, with his wife, Nicola. It’s the UK’s first “zero waste” store—the food is in big jars andboxes and people bring their own containers. “A lot of new people are coming in-people who have not necessarily been interested in environmental iss ues before”, he says.Recently, the government called for supermarkets to introduce plastic-free passageways. But Eckersley says many customers are already way ahead of politicians. He and Nicola have helped people set up similar stores in Wales, Birmingham, and Bristol. Ingrid Caldironi had a similar idea. She set up a plastic-free shop in London last year, which has been so popular that it is soon moving to a bigger site.Eckersley and Caldironi are members of an anti-plastics movement in the UK that has been growing as a result of the BBC’s Blue Planet series and a general worry about the damage plastic is doing to the environment. But big supermarkets have so far not tried very hard to reduce their plastic waste. Sian Sutherland, founder of the movement “A Plastic Planet”, says, “The most exciting thing is that politicians and industry are no longer saying that recycling will solve the problem. Banning the use of plastic packaging for food and drink products is the only answer.” Walking down the passageways of the supermarket where everything from pizza to fresh fruit and vegetables is covered in plastic. Sutherland says immediate action is needed.Plastic pollution is causing widespread global damage. More than one million plastic bottles are bought around the world every minute, and most end up in landfill or the sea. The contamination is so wide that tap water around the world also contains plastic.8. What is special about Earth. Food. Love?A．It gives away boxes of food. B．It is a store without plastic bags.C．It has few new customers. D．It is the UK’s first supermarket.9. What caused Caldironi’s shop to be relocated to a larger place?A．Its popularity. B．Its products. C．Its profits. D．Its similarity. 10. What does the underlined word “contamination” in last paragraph mean?A．Pollution. B．Acceptance. C．Influence. D．Application. 11. What is the text mainly about?A．The impact of BBC’s Blue Planet series on anti-plastics movements.B．Rising anti-plastics movement alongside increasing environmental concerns.C．A guide to setting up plastic-free stores to promote recycling in the whole UK.D．Richard Eckersley’s personal journey in waste reduction and pollution prevention.Thousands of lives have been saved by giving blood-thinning drugs to people with a heart condition that leaves them at risk of a stroke(中风), according to the head of the NHS.Since January 2022 about 460,000 people in England who suffer from atrial fibrillation(AF)- a dangerously irregular heart rate-have begun taking one of four anticoagulant(抗凝血剂) drugs that are proved to reduce stroke risk. Speedy introduction of the drugs has kept 4,000 people alive whowould otherwise have died and prevented about 17,000 strokes, according to Amanda Pritchard. Strokes kill about 27,000 people a year in England and lead to about 120,000 being taken to hospital.A drive to encourage take-up of the drugs means 90% of the 1.5 million people in England with AF are using them. That should result in fewer strokes, which are a leading cause of death and disability, given that AF causes about one in five strokes.“The rapid introduction of these drugs is a big step forward in providing the best possible care for patients with heart disease”, Pritchard, the leader of NHS(National Health Service) England, w ill say in a speech today at the King’s Fund health experts’ yearly conference.The drugs, called direct oral anticoagulants, help stop blood from clotting(凝血), therefore reducing the risk of a clot developing and causing a stroke. In 2021 the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence recommended that doctors use four anticoagulant drugs.Dr Maeva May, the Stroke Association’s director, thought the widespread use of the drugs as “fantastic news”, because AF accounts for one in five strokes and stro kes in people with AF are more likely to result in death or serious disability.NHS England has used its spending power to cut deals with the makers of the four drugs, which has made them much more widely available. The British Heart Foundation praised the NHS’s “great progress towards its goal of reducing stroke deaths”.12. What is the purpose of listing numbers in paragraph 2?A．To attract the readers’ attention to strokes.B．To introduce the specific information about AF.C．To show the effects of four anticoagulant drugs.D．To summarize the steps towards reducing deaths.13. What is the main function of anticoagulant drugs?A．To identify signs of strokes. B．To reduce blood pressure.C．To keep heart beating. D．To prevent blood clotting.14. What can be inferred about NHS England and drug makers from the text?A．They have reached some agreements. B．They have provided free treatment.C．They have established disease funds. D．They have reminded of stroke deaths. 15. Which is the best title for the text?A．Recognising Signs of A Heart Attack B．A Breakthrough in Stroke PreventionC．Exploring Kinds of Anticoagulant Drugs D．NHS England’s Life-Saving ConferenceA young man called Jerry King attended a show in his hometown of Tampa, Florida in 1918 and was deeply impressed by the unicyclists (独轮车手). 16 . It would take another 40 years for the dream to come true when he formed The Charles Riders, known today as The King Charles Troupe (剧团), a group of young African American kids who performed unbelievable basketball skills while riding unicycles.Mr. King first taught his 6-year-old son Charles how to ride unicycle in the hallway of their house. When the weather turned nice they moved outside to the local park where Charles showed his skills to the other kids in the neighborhood. 17 .In 1958, with the purpose of getting more people in the community involved, Jerry King started a unicycle club. The club, based out of the South Bronx, was made up of 100 kids, and Mr Jerry used it as an opportunity to build their character. 18 .The first try of the troupe took place in 1961 on a sidewalk outside Madison Square Garden. 19 . A producer named Irving Feld, from Barnum and Bailey Circus, sensed immediately that the raw energy of these young athletes could be shaped into a high-quality production. The King Charles Troupe made its first public performance one year later, and thereafter began their road into the spotlight.Now, on its 5th generation, the troupe has performed to over 100 million fans. “ 20 . We’ve had difficult times, but they’ve only deepened our faith in those ideals.” said Harrison, one member of the troupe.Torbjorn Pedersen is a Danish traveler who recently finished a trip around the world.

Dr. Fisher has put music in over 1,100 animal shelters,saying that it makes dogs and cats quiet and even cuts down on barking. Fisherasked artists around the world to share dog-and-cat friendly music. She givesit free to animal shelters.One fan was Tina. Winter temperatures at therural shelter for six dogs and six cats usually ran below zero and the wind blewnearly every day. To calm the animals, Tina tried the radio. Besides poorreception, the news and sports had people shouting and crying loudly. “Thedifference is great.” she said. So she and her husband had to buy a secondplayer for the cats. “When we play songs they like, they go and sit by thespeakers.” Tina said.No o ne has studied the impact of Fisher’smusic idea. But others have looked at how music and noise in general affectedanimals. A study found that animals were more likely to sleep and less likelyto bark when Mozart, Beethoven and other similar music were playing, but notwhen heavy metal and other sounds were.A survey of more than 500 shelters guided byFisher validated her idea, finding barking reduced by half and animalsmore relaxed.

I’d rather havechocolate!” If you don’t makeanything with the lemons, they will go bad.But what if you did something with them? What if you made lemonade? Isn’t itpossible to do something similar with a bad situation?Here’s an example. Let’s say you’re about togo to the movies, but you discover you have a flat tire . You consider this a terrible thing. After all, you are reallylooking forward to spending some time with Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone. Nowyou’re all stressed out, hating the tire, the car, and your life. But what ifyou called AAA, got your tire fixed or got caught up on things that you’d beenmeaning to do? What if you did some reading, or had coffee with a friendinstead? A negative experience can be turned into something positive. Almostanything can work itself out into something better. You can’t change what hashappened, right? So make the best of it. I’m not saying it will be easy. Theeasy thing to do is complain about your bad situation and not consider what itcould be turned into.Next time when some unfortunate things happen,stop and think, “How can I tum this around?

In the Cambridgeshire village where he is currently working, it is easy to spot a thatched cottage.Chris guides me to a couple of chairs where we can talk. “There is no thatching without mess,” he says cheerfully. “A rethatch takes my assistant and me around 10 weeks, so it’s important that customers feel comfortable having us around,” he says.Chris is also sensitive to the cultural heritage (遗产) of his craft (手艺). “If you ask tourists to think of traditional English things, they will probably say thatched cottages and afternoon tea.” In the past 200 years, little has changed in terms of technique. “My great-grandfather would recognize the methods we use,” says Chris.Though the principles of the craft are simple, they are hard to perfect. “Every roof is different; the skill of a good thatcher is adapting the material to a cottage so that it looks neat and smooth.” Individual craftsmen also develop their styles. “I can drive around, see a“One might expect the industry to be in decline.

The new technology can detect early signs of disease from a blood sample, which is helping doctors to identify the memory-robbing disorder more accurately.Last fall, a blood test developed by C2N Diagnostics in St. Louis, Mo. , became available to most of the U.S. as a routine lab test. It has also received a CE mark as a diagnostic medical device in the European Union —indicating it has met safety, health and environmental protection standards for the region.The C2N test, called PrecivityAD, uses an analytic technique to detect specific types of B-amyloid, a protein fragment that is a pathological (病理学的) feature of disease. B-amyloid proteins accumulate and form plaques (斑块) visible on brain scans two decades before a patient notices memory problems. As plaques build up in the brain, levels of ß-amyloid decline in the surrounding fluid.Such changes can be measured in spinal fluid (脊髓液) samples — and now in blood, where ß-amyloid concentrations are significantly lower. PrecivityAD is the first blood test forcould enable early detection of the leading disease — perhaps decades before the onset of the first symptoms.8．According to the passage, which can help doctors identify Alzheimer’s?A. hair.B. blood.C. skin.D. tongue. 9．What is the function of B-amyloid in the brain?A. To decline in the surrounding fluid.B. To form plaques visible on brain scans.C. To accumulate and cause memory problems.D. To serve as a pathological feature of disease.10．What does the underlined word “assays” in paragraph 4 mean?A. Tests.B. Trials.C. Treatments.D. Analysis. 11．What does the author think of the PrecivityAD?A. Indifferent.B. Doubtful.C. Supportive.D. Pessimistic.Americans do not believe their personal information is safe online, suggests findingsfrom a new poll (民意调查). They are also not satisf ied with the federal government’s efforts to protect such information.The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research and Meri Talk did the polling. It found that 64 percent of Americans say their social media activity is not secure. About as many have the same safety concerns about online information that shares their physical location. Half of Americans also believe their private text messages are not secure.They are not just concerned. They want the federal government to do something about it. Almost 75 percent of Americans say they support creating laws for how companies can collect, use and share personal data.A majority of those who took part in the poll said they have more trust in private companies than the federal government to address security and privacy issues. This comes even after years of hacks (黑客) of U. S. corporations that shared the personal information of millions of people around the world.The poll answers showed that about 71 percent of Americans believe that individ uals’ data privacy should be treated as a national security issue. But only 23 percent are satisfied with the federal government’s current efforts.The law follows similar measures passed in California and Virginia, and gives people the right to find and delete personal information. Colorado’s law also permits people to choose out of having their data tracked and sold. Facebook and other companies opposed the bill.The poll showed that protecting personal information online is “an area where people do see a direct role in government,” Benz said.12．What percentage of Americans think their private text messages are not safe?A. 36 percent.B. 50 percent.C. 64 percent.D. 75 percent.13．What do almost 75 percent of Americans support according to the poll?A.

The care team aimed to reduce long-term joint damage,and do their best to ensure Msituni has a long,healthy life.With the information from the detailed3D imaging of Msituni’s legs,the care team determined that specialized orthotic braces(矫形器)should be able to fix the position of Msituni’s legs.However,her size made finding supports for her legs very challenging.The solution came in partnership with Hanger Clinic,a nationwide provider of orthotic braces.While the company focuses on care for humans,the company’s experts asked Safari Park wildlife care staff for advice.Together,they made a pair of orthotic braces for the calf. They wanted to enable Msituni to lie down,stand,walk,and run like a health giraffe.Finally,the treatments were a success.After about two months,with Msituni’s legs correctly positioned,caregivers were able to remove her leg braces.Today,Msituni can be found playing with the rest of giraffes in the Safari Park.四、选词填空阅读下列短文，根据短文内容，从框中选择合适的单词或词组，用其正确形式填空，并将答案书写在答题卡相应位置。

D．Madly Learning.Isabel Crook was born in Chengdu on 15 December 1915. On 20 August 2023, she died in Beijing at the age of 108. In 2019, she was awarded the Friendship Medal for her work at the Beijing Foreign Studies University, where she taught for seven decades, and where she developed China’s first English-language textbooks. Meeting students of Isabel in China is not a difficult task, since she trained and inspired millions of them to learn languages, including English.In 2018, I had lunch with Isabel in Beijing. Over 100 years old, Isabel nonetheless had a bright light in her eyes. I worried that I would trouble her with my earnest questions. It was enough to enjoy the company of people like Isabel-sensitive and energetic people who believe that the world can be made a better place.Curiosity about China’s rural development governed Isabel’s life. In 1939, she went to Bashinao in Sichuan Province to study village life and to teach literacy (识字). From 1931 to 1945, she worked in Xinglongchang to build an understanding of the rural struggles. In 1981, after she retired from teaching, Isabel returned to Xinglongchang, and in 2013, she published two books based on her research and studies there, showing what rural society was like during wartime. When I asked her about her important work on China’s agricultural transformation, she said, “One of the reasons to do these studies and to write these books was that they might inspire other peoples, in countries like China, such as India, to work along these lines.”Isabel showed great concern for China’s rural development and devoted herself to English teaching with numerous students. She died peacefully with her faith in the international Communist cause, and her love for the Communist. Party of China and the Chinese people.4. Why was Isabel awarded the Friendship Medal?A．She taught English in China for years.B．She got on well with the Chinese people.C．She loved the Communist Party of China.D．She believed in the international Communist cause.5. Which can be used to summarize Isabel’s personal quality according to paragraph 2?A．Independent. B．Honest. C．Dynamic. D．Generous.6. What did Isabel do from 1981 to 2013?A．She taught English. B．She taught literacy.C．She worked in India. D．She did her research.7. Which typical writing features can you identify in the passage?A．Quotes and photos are included.B．The text provides details on how to teach.C．The beginning tells about Isabel’s background.D．The introduction follows the order of importance.Every day, as I took long walks through North Vancouver, I would think about the potential joys of a physically closer network. Wouldn’t it be great to have someone who could join me at a moment’s notice? How good would it be to have more non-scheduled hangs instead of ones that had to be planned weeks in advance?This doesn’t have to be just a dream. Although technology is making it easier to maintain long-distance connections, nothing can replace seeing friends in person. Researchers have found that happiness spreads “like an emotional contagion (传染)”, especially among those who live close together.Friends who live in the same city could decide to move within walking distance of one another —the same neighborhood, block, or even apartment building. Doing so would likely involve a lot of effort, but the resulting community could pay emotional dividends for years. Doing so would make it easier to support one another materially and emotionally.Moving close to your friends requires some masterminding. Cities can make doing so easier by ending single-family zoning codes and encouraging a variety of housing types in neighborhoods. But even without official policies, people can make it work on their own. Sam Unger, 32, a food scientist and a friend of mine, has created a chosen family like this in Montreal, where about 15 of her friends live within walking distance of one another. When someone moves away, they try to transfer (移交) their lease (租约) to other friends. And when pals based elsewhere in the city are looking to move, Unger will try selling them on the positives of her neighborhood and sometimes even look for housing for them. “It’s funny,” she told me. “The other day, I bought a fire extinguisher, and she’s like, ‘Oh, well, I have one. You could just call me if you had a fire, and I’d be right over with it.’”8. What kind of lifestyle does the author prefer?A．Alone. B．Modern. C．Scheduled D．Free.9. What does the unde rlined word “dividends” in paragraph 3 most probably mean?A．Needs. B．Benefits. C．States D．Effects.10. Why does the author mention Sam Unger?A．To tell Sam Unger has a talent in business.B．To prove people can move closer on their own.C．To show how important the official policies are.D．To suggest how one can get on well with others.11. What’s the best title for the passage?A．Live Closer to Your FriendsB．The Internet Brings People CloserC．A Way to Maintain RelationshipsD．Technology Harms FriendshipsIn Sweden, many teachers have been putting emphasis (强调) on printed books, quiet reading time and handwriting practice, and devoting less time to tablets, independent online research and keyboarding skills.The return to more traditional ways of learning is a response to experts questioning whether Sweden’s comprehensive (全面的) digitalised approach to education had led to a fall in basic skills. Sweden’s minister for schools, Lotta Edholm, is one of the biggest critics (批评者) of the comprehensive acceptance of technology. “Sweden’s students need more textbooks,” he said, “Physical books are important for student learning.”Although Sweden’s students score above the European average for reading ability, an international assessment of fourth-grade reading levels, the Progress in International Reading Literacy Study (PIRLS), showed a drop among Sweden’s children between 2016 and 2021. In 2021, Swedish fourth graders averaged 544 points, a drop from the 555 average in 2016.This may suggest a growing number of immigrant (移民) students who don’t speak Swedish as their first language, but overuse of screens during school lessons may cause youngsters to fall behind in subjects, education experts say.The rapid adoption (采用) of digital learning tools also has drawn concern from UNESCO. In a report published in August, UNESCO issued a call for proper use of technology in education. The report calls countries to speed up Internet connections at schools, but at the same time warns that technology in education should be used in a way that never takes the place of in-person, teacher-led instruction.In the Swedish capital, Stockholm, Liveon Palmer, a third grader at Djurgardsskolan elementary school, agreed with the idea of spending more school hours offline. “I lik e writing more in school, like on paper, because it just feels better,” he said.12. According to many teachers in Sweden, how should technology be used?A．It should be used less in education.B．Digital devices should be better used.C．Teaching equipment should be updated or replaced.D．More importance of it should be attached to education.13. How is Sweden’s students’ reading level?A．It’s higher than in the past.B．It’s above the world average.C．It tends to fall in recent years.D．It scores the highest in Europe.14. What does UNESCO call on people to do?A．Avoid online safety risks.B．Improve school networking.C．Focus on face-to-face communication.D．Carry on teacher-centered instruction.15. What’s Sweden’s pupils’ view on online learning?A．They demand to spend more time offline independently.B．They would use physical books rather than digital tools.C．They would like to study offline when they are at home.D．They prefer to stay offline to maintain healthy relationships.If you can’t get your hands off your cell-phone, you have unknowingly become a slave to this device. Being addicted to a cellphone can be potentially harmful. Here are some reasons why you should use your cellphone less.16 Very often you forget the world outside your cellphone. Just leave the phone at home, take a walk, and get to know what you really want in life. Discover what sparks your interest and pursue it with all your heart.You should focus more on personal interactions in real life. Can you hug your dad and feel his strength through the phone? 17 These are small gestures that play a big role in life. Cellphones just take these precious things away from you.Your grades will go up. Leave your phone behind when going to school. Once you get home, don’t lie on the bed and text your friends. 18 Your grades will improve.You need to give your mind a break. Constantly chatting on the phone puts too much pressure on your brain, which does great harm to both your physical and mental health. 19You need to keep away from anxiety. Research has shown that people who use cellphones all day long are more anxious and restless. They seem to look for recognition and acceptance through the device. 20 Therefore, keep the phone away to keep anxiety at bay.“Dad,” I say, “let’s take a trip. Fly and meet me!”My father had just retired. He was _________ in his job, his thoughts, his life. While he woke up and took a warm shower, I screamed under a freezing waterfall in Peru. My father sees me drifting (游荡) _________, nothing to show for my 33 years but a passport full of funny _________. He wants me to _________, but I want him to find an adventure.He agrees to travel with me and we meet four weeks later in Rapid City.“What’s our first stop?” asks my father.“What time is it?”“Still don’t have a _________?”An hour away is Mount Rushmore. As he stares up at the four Presidents carved in granite (花岗岩), “_________,” he says, “How was this done?”The guide told us Gutzon Borglum _________14 years to the sculpture (雕像) and then left the final touches to his son. We stare up and I ask _________, “Would I ever devote my life to anything?”No directions, no _________. I used to hear those words in my father’s __________. Now I hear them in my __________.My father says, “I never __________ much with my father. We loved each other — but never said it. Whatever he could __________ me, he gave.”That last __________ — it’s probably the same thing I’d say about my father. And what I’d want my child to say about me. I realize —maybe a __________ job won’t be as dull as I feared.I tell my father I’ve decided to settle down, and I’m wearing a watch.21.A．interested B．engaged C．renowned D．concerned22.A．bravely B．anxiously C．aimlessly D．curiously23.A．images B．stories C．words D．stamps24.A．settle down B．pick up C．carry on D．makepreparations25.A．belief B．watch C．destination D．ticket26.A．Promising B．Creative C．Optional D．Unbelievable 27.A．imagined B．lasted C．devoted D．traveled28.A．myself B．Dad C．my son D．the guide29.A．personality B．ambition C．identity D．creativity30.A．work B．place C．duty D．voice31.A．location B．view C．own D．attitude32.A．hugged B．confirmed C．loved D．spoke33.A．send B．give C．buy D．tell34.A．sentence B．fight C．attempt D．chance35.A．regular B．part-time C．full-time D．busy阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.Go RecyclingNo one looking at the state of Earth in 2023 can be in any doubt that we are facing three serious environmental problems: climate problem, loss of biodiversity (生物多样性) and pollution of air, soil and water. To solve the problems, we increase the use of electric cars, 33 greener eating and reduce plastic use. However, sometimes these solutions can be opposite to the expected goals. For instance, creating space for biofuel crops to give off fewer pollutants and greenhouse gases can, in fact, 34 increase the cutting down of trees. That means in most cases solutions aiming at one problem each time are 35 to be effective. And, what is perhaps lacking is a(n) 36 of how interlinked these problems are.We should realize that a key 37 linking al the three problems is waste. The root cause of global warming is CO2, a waste gas. The seas are polluted by plastic and other waste products. We 38 forests, among other things, to grow more food — much of which goes to waste.A shocking figure lies at the heart of our special report on our world — of the more than 100 billion tons of things that humans use each year, hardly 10% is recycled. That makes it obvious a full-range war on waste should be paid 39 attention. The situation requires our speedy moving away from the way of thinking — “take, make, throw” — towards a more recyclable one, which means we should begin 40 the products and when they reach the end of their useful lives, they can be recycled.Solving the three problems calls for a huge transition with joint efforts. Governments must take the lead by introducing laws with the purpose of rewarding green practices, such as the 41 of waste. Industries can reduce, re-use and recycle wherever possible, and 42 themselves with suppliers and the like-minded to realize recyclable business models.Ⅱ. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Listening, speaking, reading and writing are necessary to everyday life, where language is the primary tool for expression and communication. Studying how people use language — what words and phrases we unknowingly 43 — can help us better understand ourselves and why we behave the way we do.Linguists attempt to 44 what is individual and general about the language we use. They also try to find how it came into use and the ways it 45 over time. After researches, they consider language as a cultural, social and mental thing.“Understanding why and how languages are different from one another tells about what is human, and in contrast, discovering what’s 46 about languages can help us understand the heart of our humanity,” said Dan Jurafsky, the Professor in Humanities and chair of the Department of Linguistics at Stanford.The stories below show some of the ways linguists have 47 many parts of language.Stanford linguists have found that even the smallest differences in language use is 48 the speakers’ belief,according to research. One study finds that a(n) 49 harmless sentence, such as “girls are as good as boys at math,” can in some way reflect sexist stereotypes (性别刻板印象). The statement’s grammatical form suggests that being good at math is more 50 for boys than girls, the researchers said. Language can play a(n) 51 role in showing how we and others understand the worldStudying other languages helps us have a better understanding of 52 around the world. People speak about 7,000 languages worldwide. Although there are a lot of similar things among languages, each one is 53 , both in its structure and in the way it reflects the culture of the people who speak it. Jurafsky advised that we shouldn’t only 54 our own language — it’s also important to study other languages and how they develop as time changes. They can help us understand what is rooted in humans’ different way of communicating with one another.Linguists study how certain speech models match special 55 , including how language can influence the buying decision or their social media use, and they both vary a lot among people. 56 , in one research paper, a group of Stanford researchers examined the differences in how two parties — Republicans and Democrats, who have different ways of speech, express themselves online. The purpose is to help us know how a(n) 57 difference of beliefs can occur on social media.“Understanding what different groups of people say and why is the first step in deciding how we can help bring people together,” Jurafsky said.43.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A. B. C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)I’m a huge fan of the Pacific Northwest and its bright green forests, rough coastline, and beaches decorated with wood, but visiting a top national park in summer often brings the opposite of what I come for — being alone — ashuge crowds try hard to park and take photos. So, my last visit to Olympic National Park was in mid-September. I ended up bathing in the peace and quiet of forest among ancient trees and staying close enough to nearby communities to feel safe.I thought that taking the jump from my comfortable hotel room in the park into the great outdoors was unpleasant at first. However, once I began walking slowly and aimlessly along the Hoh River Trail there and slowing down to observe beautiful sunlight and tiny mushrooms that looked like colorful umbrellas, I felt my breath deepen and my nervous system begin to relax for the first time in a long time. What I want to say is that just because the world seems obviously set up for twosomes doesn’t mean you have to let such a standard keep you from living your dreams right now. Solo travel has made me stronger and braver than I ever thought possible. It has opened up my worldview by throwing me out of my comfort zone again and againWhen it comes to living conditions, the national park not only offers 15 campgrounds across its huge area, it’s also home to five other choices for guests who would prefer not to sleep alone inside a tent — the small national park houses. Although I enjoy being alone, I have to admit that one of the coolest things about these small houses is that they are there to strengthen connection among strangers, and as such, there is usually a big fireplace next to excellent armchairs and sofas where guests can move around and make small talks at night. In one small house called Lake Quinault, I talked with grey-haired seniors about the best old-growth forest walks and asked hotel workers about the Roosevelt Dining Room (so named after Franklin Delano Roosevelt, the president during 1933-1945, came to visit), right next door.58. What made the author avoid visiting Olympic National Park in summer?A. The wish to stay close to communities.B. The likelihood to meet crowds of people.C. The quiet environment in an ancient forest.D. The rough coastlines and the woody beaches.59. According to paragraph 2, the author thinks that traveling alone can ______.A. keep opening up her worldviewB. slow her down in living her dreamsC. stop her leaving her comfortable zoneD. give her a chance to stay in hotel rooms60. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. Seniors in Lake Quinault are the best forest walkers there.B. The park offers five completely different places to stay in.C. Big fireplaces in houses are meant to strengthen connection.D. The author stayed in a house next door to a famous president.61. The passage is mainly about ______.A. the author’s love for the Pacific NorthwestB. the author’s solo trip to Olympic National ParkC. the greatest tourist attractions in Olympic National ParkD. the brief comparison between group travel and solo ones(B)The connection we have to cats is so strong it feels almost as though they can read our thoughts, study our moods, and even judge how to behave based on our needs. But what really goes on in their sweet, furry heads?Research suggests that cats don’t necessarily see us as any different from them. While cats understand that their human caretakers are larger than they are, they continue to behave around us in the same way as if they were around other cats. The only key difference is that cats meow to humans, not other cats.Owners wondering about what the cats are thinking about should turn to cat body language. Since these are the ways your cat primarily communicates with you, studying their body language can help you understand then on a deeper level and you may start with tails:We may think we have great insight into “cat thinking”, but we may never fully understand them. There exist lots of misunderstandings about cats, most notably:*Cats try to be alien and prefer to be alone. No! They are actually social animals who hope for close relationship.*Purring (making a low continuous sound) only means happiness…In fact, it can also suggest pressure, fear, or pain. Keep an eye out for illness, and be prepared in the case of an unexpected accident.*Cats scratch (抓) to anger people. Wrong again! Cats need to act out this to give themselves great pleasure and comfort.A recent study concluded that cats, when given a choice between playing with certain toys or having interactive fun with a human being, decisively choose to play with a person. For us here at Cat Care of Vinings, it’s two-sided!As always, please call us with any questions or concerns. Or, let us know what you believe cat thinking is all about!Tags: Cat Thinking Cat Thoughts My Cat’s Brain What Does My Cat ThinkPosted in: The Cat’s MeowPrevious: A Pun-fact Match: The Keys to Successful Cat AdoptionNext: Your Guide to Fourth of July Cat Safety62. We may find this passage from a ______.A. newspaperB. posterC. magazineD. website63. If the owner gives the cat its favorite food, what will it probably do?A. Keep its tail low.B. Hook its tail.C. Hide its tail.D. Shake its tail.64. The cat may prefer to ______.A. interact with peopleB. purr to suggest angerC. keep away from man-made toysD. scratch to attract attention(C)Nothing compares with the joy of coming home to a lovely pet. Besides keeping one company, pets may also decrease stress, improve heart health, and even help children with their social skills. Over the past 10 years, researchers have been looking at what the possible effects are.Animals can offer comfort and support. Dogs are espe cially good at this. They’re sometimes brought into hospitals or nursing homes. Ann Berger, a researcher at the NIH Clinical Center, teaches the patients with serious diseases about mindfulness to help decrease stress and manage pain. “Mindfulness includ es attention, awareness, e tc.,”Berger says, “all those are things that animals bring to the table. People kind of have to learn it, while animals do this innately.” Researchers are also studying the safety of bringing animals into hospital settings because animals may bring people more germs (病菌). A current study is looking at the safety of bringing dogs to visit children with a certain kind of illness. Scientists will be testing the children’s hands to see if there are dangerous levels of germs brought by the dog after the visit.Dogs may also help in the classroom. One study found that dogs can help children with ADHD, a disease related to attention. Researchers divided children with ADHD into two groups. The first group of kids read to dogs once a week for 30 minutes. The second group read to toys like dogs. After 12 weeks, kids who read to the real animals showed better social skills. They also had fewer behavioral problems. “Animals can become a way of building a bridge for the social communication,” says Griffin, a child development expert at NIH. He adds that researchers are trying to better understand these effects and whom they might help.While pets may bring many health advantages, an animal may not work for everyone. Recent studies suggest that living with pets at an early age may help protect young children from developing allergies (过敏), but for people who are allergic to certain animals, having pets in the home can do more harm than good.Researchers will continue to explore the many effects of having a pet. They are trying to find out what’s working, what’s not working, and what’s safe.65. When the author says “animals do this innately” in paragraph 2, he probably means ______.A. animals learn from humans to do thisB. animals teach people to stop doing itC. animals are born to be able to do thisD. animals learn to do this as humans do66. What does the study about dogs in the classroom tell us?A. Reading to real dogs could help kids improve behavior.B. Researchers brought dogs there to attract kids’ attention.C. Dogs have poorer social skills than the kids with ADHD.D. Toy dogs work as well as real dogs in accompanying kids.67. What can we learn about the researchers in the passage?A. They still have a long way to go in exploring pets’ effect.B. They don’t doubt the safety of using animals in hospitals.C. Berger helps patients to gain the ability to cure themselves.D. Griffin doesn’t agree that dogs improve children’s reading.68. What might be the best title for the passage?A. Pets’ Various WorkB. The Power of PetsC. Pets as Assistants in SchoolD. Patients’ Call for PetsSection CDirections: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.Club Activities in Japanese SchoolsIn the after-class activities of Japanese high schools, there are various clubs. Participation depends on students; however, most students choose a certain club. 69 And there are various kinds within each type.A recent survey showed activity participation rate (比率). In junior high schools, participation rate was around 70% in sports clubs and around 20% in culture clubs. In senior high schools, participation rate in sports clubs dropped to about 50%, and in culture clubs, rose to around 25%. One reason is that there are more kinds of culture clubs in senior high schools than in junior high schools, so there is a wider range of choices. 70The rate of junior high school students not choosing any club was less than 10%. However, that number more than doubled in senior high school. In recent years, the number of students not joining in any clubs is increasing. Stronger individualism, which causes unwillingness to participate in group activities, is one factor behind this change.71 Japanese clubs are considered “a part of education” and are different from club activities overseas. Learning teamwork is a common factor; in particular, sports clubs have a strict hierarchy (等级制度) and are useful in leaning to be polite. This is said to have influenced the way Japanese companies work, for example, with respect for seniors. Compared to sports clubs, the hierarchy in culture clubs is not as strict. 72 Besides, clubs which practice traditional Japanese martial arts and culture offer a valuable chance to learn the traditional arts firsthand. By experiencing such arts in teenage years, the chance of passing traditional culture to the next generation is large.Ⅳ. Outline WritingDirections: Read the following passage and complete the brief outline that follows. Write no more than 5 words for each blank.Interesting Traditions Around the WorldTraditions are passed down from generation to generation to inform us of our history. Some are widespread and taken on by one and all, like celebrating New Year and birthdays, and then there are some that are quite strange or interesting and practiced only by a small group of people.Famadihana, also called the turning of the bones, is a festival in Madagascar that honors the dead and celebrates family ties. Every seven years or so, families who can afford rich dinners for guests and new clothes for the living families and the dead, celebrate the festival. They give out gifts for the dead and crying is discouraged during the celebration.Bali’s Day of Silence, or Nyepi, as they call it, is a holiday celebrated with eating little or no food as well as meditation, the practice of thinking deeply in silence. The whole island shuts off all sounds, lights, and all other activities, so there is peace all around. Days before the actual celebration, Balinese people make the ogoh-ogoh (dangerous animals) statues (雕像) that will be used and paraded through the streets the day before Nyepi. The statues are then usually burnt after supposedly attracting dangerous animals.Having started in Middle Ages, flag throwing has long been popular in Tuscany. As the Italians love a good celebration, army parades were held with marching bands and flag bearers. Since flags are considered sacred, the flag bearers have to make sure that they do not fall to the ground. Today, flag throwing is not just popular in Tuscany but also in the whole of Italy.Some traditions may sound strange, yet people hold them close to their hearts and still practice the age-old rituals to this day. These rituals are part of their culture and history and are able to shape and describe people.Outline:Ⅰ. IntroductionAs a form of historic culture, some traditions are shared altogether and others are 73 and celebrated by only a few.Ⅱ. Body partPeople in Madagascar celebrate Famadihana to honor the dead and 74 .During Nyepi in Bali, people eat little or no food and 75 ; days before the festival, statues are made and later they will be burnt.Flag throwing features army parades and gains popularity in Italy.Ⅲ.
