Some people have welcomed AI because it makes thingspossible and helps to solve many problems. For example, AI will makea big difference to areas like phones, medicine and engineering. But this attention also brings something bad. In fact, many workers are worrying that AI could makethem lose their jobs.According to a latest study, nearly five percent of jobs will disappear because of AI. In some factories. AI is already doing the work that people used to do, such as assembling(装配) cars, digging the coal and lifting goods. Self-driving cars and trucks controlled(控制) by AI will also take away the drivers’ jobs in the future.On the other hand, AI will also create many new jobs for people. We will need more people to write programs for AI systems(系统) and they will help to look for some information, give advice and work on them, too. At the same time, AI won’t take the place of people’s jobs such as teaching, nursing and personal training because AI doesn’t have feelings and it can’t talk with people freely.AI is here. It is changing how people live and work in many ways. That makes AI important to expect, not to fear.23. How does the writer start the passage?A. By telling a story.B. By giving an example.C.

The Kung Fu Panda movies are cartooncomedies made in the US. They are loved all over theworld. The newest Kung Fu Panda 4, was on in Marchthis year. The first Kung Fu Panda movie came out 16years ago. The movie tells the story of a panda named Powho wants to be a kung fu warrior(勇士). This movie isnot only very interesting, but also shows the worldsomething about Chinese culture.In the movie, Po always dreams of becoming a kung fu warrior, but his father wants him to take over his noodle shop. Po keeps his dream to himself because he doesn’t want to make his father sad. His love for his father has kept him unhappy for the longest time, but he doesn’t want to hurt(伤害) his father’s feeling. This shows the Chinese way of thinking — family always comes first.In ancient(古代的) China, kung fu warriors were an important defense(防御) of a village. In the film, these kung fu warriors live on the top of the mountain. The mountain gives a better view of any danger to the villagers. This way, if the enemy(敌人) comes, there will be enough time for the village to get ready. Though there are some modern(现代的) ideas, the art of the building is a symbol of the traditional Chinese house — made of wood and bricks with high gates and thick walls.Of course, there are other symbols of Chinese culture in Kung Fu Panda. Kung fu itself is one of the most important parts of Chinese culture. In the end, Kungfu panda became a real warrior which leaves us an idea “Your story may not have such a happy beginning, but that doesn’t makewho you are. It’s the rest of your story, who you choose to be.”The film is great for everyone, you can watch or re-watch the movie this weekend!27. When did the first Kung Fu Panda movie come out?A. In 2000.B. In 2008.C. In 2024.28. What does Po dream of doing in his life?A. Owning a noodle shop.B. Fighting in the army.C. Becoming a kungfu warrior.29. Why do kungfu warriors live at the top of the mountain?A. Because it’s the best place to know about danger.B. Because it has the most beautiful view there.C. Because the enemy can’t climb to the top.30. Which saying best describes kungfu panda’s spirit(精神)?A. Good beginning makes a good ending.B. Nothing is impossible to a willing heart.C. He who makes no mistakes makes nothing.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。

Theteacher told each student to bring a plastic bag with a few potatoes in it to school. Each student would “name” their potatoes after people they did not like. Therefore, the number of potatoes would be different depending on how many people each student disliked.The next day, all of the students brought their potatoes to school. Some kids had just one or two potatoes, while others had as many as five or six. The teacher then told the children that they would have to carry their potatoes with them wherever they went for one week.Several days passed by. Some of the students started to complain (抱怨) because their potatoes began to go bad and smell terrible. The students who carried more potatoes also complained about how heavy their bags were.One week later, the game was over. The teacher asked, “How did you feel about carrying around your potatoes for a week?”The students complained once again. The teacher simply smiled and said, “This is what it’s like to carry hatred in your heart. You have to carry it with you wherever you go. If you can’t stand carrying those potatoes for one week, can you imagine having hate in your heart for an entire lifetime?”It can be exhausting to carry hate in your heart for a whole lifetime. It’s like carrying a heavy bag all day long.So forgive others and move on with your own life.【1】How many potatoes were the students asked to carry to school?A.They had to carry as many potatoes as they can.B.They could choose to carry two to six potatoes.C.It depended on the number of people they hate.【2】The students started to complain after several days because____________.A.carrying potatoes around made them look strangeB.their bags full of potatoes were heavy and smellyC.the potatoes often fell out of their bags【3】The underlined word “exhausting” in the last paragraph can be replaced (替换) by____________.A.tiringB.sadC.angry【4】According to the writer, which is the best way to deal with hate?A.Try to stand it as long as you can.B.Try your best to be good with people you hate.C.Try to be kind and don’t care too much about others’ mistakes.【5】Why did the teacher do this game among her students?A.She wanted her students to cherish(珍惜) food.B.She wanted her students to make more good friends.C.She wanted her students to learn from their own experiences (经历).【答案】【1】C【2】B【3】A【4】C【5】C【解析】略We are often told to pay attention to what our mothers tell us. Most of us really enjoy listening to our mothers speak. Scientists have found that our brains (大脑) greatly like the voices of our own mothers better. Scientists at Stanford University, US, recently studied this. They scanned (扫描) children’s brains when they were listening to different sounds, including their mothers’ voices. They found that 97% of the time, children could recognize (辨别出) their mothers’ voices at once. Hearing their mothers’ voices makes children’s brains more excited. We usually just use one part of our brain to deal with sounds when we hear something. But when we hear our mothers’ voices, different parts of the brain start to work at the same time.Why are we so sensitive(敏感) to our mothers’ voices? It starts evenbefore we’re born. When children are still in the womb (子宫), they hear their mothers talking. This can not only make babies feel comfortable but also teach them language and social skills, even though they are still very young. The babies learn to recognize their mothers’ voices as a rewarding sound. Later, when children hear this sound again, they will pay more attention to it.Some sounds are necessary for our survival (生存) or bring us happiness. These sounds are recognized by our brains as rewarding sounds. Most human voices are not recognized in this way, since we hear them so often. But mothers’ voices are different. They bring us a lot of comfort. This is the power of mom’s voice.【1】What will happen when children hear their mothers’ voices?A.Many parts of their brains become active.B.They will need time to recognize the voices.C.Their language skills start to improve.【2】Why do children pay more attention to their mothers’ voices according to paragraph 4?A.Because they always talk with their mothers.B.Because their mothers’ voices make them more comfortable.C.Because they can get a prize if they do so.【3】The underline word ‘‘rewarding sounds” in last paragraph refers to sounds that ____________.A.our mothers makeB.we often hearC.can help us a lot【4】What is the story mainly about?A.Why we should listen carefully to our mothers.B.Why do we like our mothers’ voices better.C.How we recognize our mothers’ voices.【5】Where can you probably find this passage?A.In a pop magazine.B.In a growing diary.C.In a biology textbook.【答案】【1】A【2】B【3】A【4】B【5】C【解析】略One year ago, the world famous furniture company IKEA(宜家) held a special competition. The company invited all the customers’ children to design( 设计) their dream soft toys. Then they chose 10 winners and turned their drawings into real ones that everyone could buy. What’s more, IKEA gave 1 dollar to UNICEF ( 联合国儿童基金会) for each soft toy they sold.【1】.Dominic Wilcox is a British designer and inventor (发明家). He also started a project called “Inventors” to help children to do some designing. He really took children’s imagination (想象力) seriously, so he asked over 450 children across Sunderland and South Tyneside in the UK to come up with ideas for inventions and draw their designs on paper.【2】. To make sure that the makers created what the children really wanted, he even brought those young designers to the factory to talk about their ideaswith makers. The makers had only 4 weeks to turn children’s crazy and creative ideas into real products (产品), but they all succeeded in making the children’s dreams come true.【3】Take a popular invention named “Phone friend” for an example. Its inventor Colin Salmon said, “Telephone boxes are not big enough for wheelchairs (轮椅)【4】” He then explained how he used a sense mat (传感垫) in his design to make the idea come true.A.I’m inventing a box where the phone can come outB.Many of the children’s inventions were very useful to disabled people (残疾人)C.It’s great that the disabled people can use them easilyD.Then he chose about 60 invention drawings and sent them to local makers to help produceE.In another word, kids designed the company’s special toys for kids【答案】【1】E【2】D【3】B【4】A【解析】略When Ana Dodson was 11 years old, she travelled to Peru(秘鲁). She went on more than just a vacation. She was visiting her native country. Ana was born in Peru, but she was adopted (领养) by an American family and grew up in the United States.While in Peru, Ana wanted to know what her life could have been like if she had not been adopted. She visited several orphanages (孤独院), including one in the hills of Cuzco, near her birthplace.“The orphanage was really cold and dry,” Ana said. “The paint was falling off. The girls were in poor health.”When Ana returned home, she kept thinking of the orphanage in Cuzco. “I really, couldn't get the girls out of my mind, and I really wanted to do something because I could have been one of those girls in that orphanage.”Ana decided to start a group called Peruvian Hearts. She wanted to provide (提供) orphans in Peru with education, clothing and food. In the first two years, Peruvian Hearts raised about $18,000 for the orphanage. The group also built a chicken coop (鸡舍) so the girls could eat fresh eggs.Ana’s efforts have been noticed. She won a Gloria Barron Prize, for YoungHeroes. The prize is given to kids who make a difference. Ana says any kid can do what she did. “Really believe in yourself, and follow your heart,” she says.【1】Did Ana Dodson grow up in Peru?____________________________________【2】What did Ana Dodson do in Peru?____________________________________【3】How did Ana Dodson like the orphanage in Cuzco?____________________________________【4】Why did Ana Dodson start Peruvian Hearts?____________________________________【5】Who can win Gloria Barron Prize for Young Heroes?____________________________________【答案】【1】No.【2】She visited several orphanages.

On this day, these men and women give gifts and cards to each other to celebrate Valentine’s Day.At first, February 14 was the old Roman festival, Lupercalia. However, when we trace back to(追溯) the history, there were in fact many romantic(浪漫的) stories about the start of Valentine’s Day. One of them says, in the 3rd century AD, a Roman named Valentine was sent into prison(监狱) because of his beliefs(信仰). In the prison, he touched the daughter of the jailer(监狱看守) with his true heart and they two soon fell in love with each other. On February 14, 270 AD, however, he was going to be killed. Before that, he wrote a long letter to show his great love for the jailer’s daughter with the final words written as “From your Valentine.” Later, February 14 became known as Valentine’s Day.Since then, people in love around the world give gifts and cards to each other on Valentine’s Day. Gloves(手套) and chocolates are popular as gifts.Valentine cards did not become popular until the 1750s. The first Valentine cards were hand-made. People wrote their own words on the cards. These words were usually very kind or funny. Around 1850, there were lots of machines for making cards. Suddenly, sending Valentine cards became very popular.Now, every year around February 14, cards and chocolates fill stores around the world for all the people in love.16. Lupercalia was _______.A．a jail B．Valentine’s real name C．a Roman festival17. Why is Valentine’s story thought to be romantic?A．Because he fell in love with his jailer.B．Because he gave cards and chocolate to all his friends.C．Because he wrote a long letter to the daughter of the jailer before his death.18. When did Valentine cards first become popular?A．In about 270.B．In about 1750.C．In about 1850.19. What CAN’T we know from the passage?A．Valentine’s Day is a big day for people who make and sell cards now.B．People only give cards to their lovers on Valentine’s Day.C．Machines helped to make Valentine cards more popular.20. The writer wrote the story to _______.A．ask people to give cards or gifts on Valentine’s DayB．tell people the history of Valentine’s DayC．tell people why they fall in love“Every day, we see the sunrise 16 times. Do you know why? Well, we circle the Earth every 90 minutes!Do you still remember these words? It was on June 20, 2013. Chinese astronaut Wang Yaping gave a science lesson in space. Sixty million schoolchildren and teachers across China listened to it. Were you one of them?On October 16, 2021, she and two other Chinese astronauts set off for the Tiangong space station.

That made millions of people very excited.Wang’s space dream began when Yang Liwei became China’s first man in space in 2003. “When will our country have a space woman?” she thought to herself. Wang was then a fighter (战斗机) pilot. Because of her excellent performance, in 2010, she became an astronaut. After lots of hard training, the woman finally realized her space dream in 2013. And she became the first Chinese woman to ever complete (完成) a spacewalk on November 8, 2021.This time, Wang and her team will stay in space 183 days.

What are they like? Are they brave, strong and kind? If so, then they are what we usually call “tigers”.In Chinese culture, people see tigers as the king of all the animals. When they think of tigers, they will think of power and protection(保护). In most people’s eyes, tigers are animals afraid of nothing so that’s why you can see pictures of tigers on the walls of temples(庙) and houses.Over thousands of years, tigers are always symbols that can protect us from disasters(灾难) and danger. In old days, some great generals(将军) were called the “tiger generals”. In Romance of the Three Kingdoms(《三国演义》), there are “Five Tiger Generals”. And it’s also said that people who were born in the Year of the Tiger are brave, strong and entertained.In the west, however, people often see lions as the king of all the animals. Brave warriors(战士) were called “the lion”. In Europe, the animal is a national symbol for England also for Norway, Spain, Belgium and 13 other countries.But in the West, tigers are also seen as very powerful animals. In English, if you want someone to cool down you can say to them “easy tiger”. Another famous phrase is “eye of the tiger”, which means to have fierceness(凶猛) and power.31.

Do people in the west see tigers as the king of all the animals?______________________________________________34.

By the time we got home and he had a quick dinner and shower, it was 10:30 - an hour and a half later than a child who gets up at 6:30 should be going to bed. We love baseball. My son is having tun, getting exercise, and learning patience, teamwork and sports spirit. But the truth is that the game also influences his sleep.As parents, we want good things for our children. We want them to be healthy both in body and in mind. To this end, we look for ways to help our kids grow and develop. We help them with their homework. We send them to all kinds of classes - dance, soccer and baseball. We encourage our kidsto take honors courses (培优课程) or to have after-school jobs. And we praise them for hard-earned success and achievementsHowever, the ironic thing is that all of these activities and responsibilities that we are giving our children to make their lives colorful could be badly influencing their health and taking happiness away. Activities, responsibilities, and goals are good. But if we want our kids to realize their full physical, learning and social ability, sleep is important We have to start taking sleep seriously.Parents make bedtime routines and carry out strict rules about nighttime. But in fact, these measures (措施) aren’t enough because getting our kids enough sleep isn’t just about carrying out (实行) stricter bedtime. It actually requires more than that. In order to ensure our kids get the sleep they need, both parents and schools should make an effort.46.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the first paragraph?A. The writer’s son spent too much time taking a shower.B. The kid who gets up at 6:30 am should go to bed at 8:30 pm.C. The writer’s son learns a lot and has a good time in the baseball team.47.From Paragraph 2, we know that parents ________.A. want the best for their childrenB. are able to teach their children to dance at homeC. pay more attention to children’s mind than body48.What’s the best meaning of the underlined word “ironic” in the third paragraph?A. 讽刺的B. 公平的C. 奇特的49.From the passage, we can infer that ________.A. activities and responsibilities are sure to make children unhealthy and unhappyB. not only parents but also schools haw made efforts to help kids get enough sleepC. some children may not have enough sleep because of too many after-school activities50.What might happen if the headmaster read this letter?A. More after-school classes might be given to students.B. The school might make some rules to make sure students go to bed early.C. Parents might be advised to make their children’s lives more colorful.BWhat’s the first thing that you notice when passing your favorite restaurant? The smell of fresh pizza? Or the sight of your favorite desserts? Food that looks and smells good will probably taste good,but what about sound?Scientists now believe that the taste of food can change when you hear different sounds, but it has to be the right sound. When you mm on a microwave with popcorn in it, it soon starts to pop. Do you think “That sounds tasty!”? Not really, you probably think it’s nearly ready. But when you smell it, you know it is delicious. Hearing the popcorn makes you think about it, but smelling it tells you that it tastes good. So what are the sounds to change the tastes of the things?In an experiment in a fish restaurant, customers listened to the sound of the seaside while eating. Did it make a difference? Yes. Listening to the seaside seemed to improve the taste of the food. It was fresher and saltier. When the restaurant tried the same experiment with the sound of the farm animals, there was no difference in taste. The results are useful for restaurants. Perhaps they will use fewer unhealthy things like sugar and salt in food. With the right music or sounds, we won’t taste the difference.Restaurants are also setting a connection between food and the sound that the packet makes. Pick up a packet (包装袋) of potato chips, what does it sound like? Experiments show that the packet making a right sound will make customers think the potato chips are fresher So one restaurant recently changed the material that they used to make their potato chip packets. Another idea is that a list of music will begin to appear on food packets, so if you don’t like your green vegetables, the right music or sounds could help you learn to love them.51.What can NOT attract people to enter a restaurant according to paragraph one?A. Excellent cooking for pizza.B. Pretty food on the menu.C. Delicious smell of a dish.52.What can you learn from the second paragraph?A. Different sounds can change the taste of food.B. The popping sound of popcorn means tasty popcorn.C. With delicious smell, you know you can eat the popcorn.53.If you run a seafood restaurant, you may play ________ to improve the taste of the food.A. a list of pop musicB. the sound of wavesC. the sound of farm animals54.The material of the food packet is important because the customers ________.A. want it to look rightB. enjoy looking at the different materialsC. think the food is good if it makes the right sound55.What could be the best title of the passage?A. Right Sound, Good TasteB. Enjoy Music While EatingC. Magical Sounds of Packets第三节语篇补全（共4小题，计8分）In the 13th century, Marco Polo, the world known Italian traveller, saw many wonderful things in China. One of the things he discovered was money made of paper. People in the West did not have such kind of money until the 15th century. 56. ________Paper was invented by a Chinese man called Cai Lun almost 2,000 years ago. But it was not made in Europe until the year 1100. Hour hundred years later, a German discovered that he could make the best paper from trees. 57. ________Paper can be used in many ways. The common uses include newspapers, magazines and books. But do you know that paper can be used for keeping warm? In Finland, the farmers wear paper boots to keep their feet warm in the snow. And even houses can be insulated (使绝缘的) from heat or cold with paper.However, we have to understand that paper still comes from trees now. 58. ________ Every day people throw away about 2,800 tons of paper in our city. It takes 17 trees to make one ton of paper. This means that we are cutting down nearly 48,000 trees every day. The fact is that it takes more than 10 years for a tree to grow.59. ________ We can use both sides of every piece of paper. We can make useful things out of used paper. We can use china cups instead of paper ones. When shopping, we can use fewer paper bags and reuse them if we have some.In short, we should keep a balance (平衡) between using paper and protecting trees, and do it now before it is too late.第四节阅读表达（共5小题，计10分）It was a room full of boys.

Some women had 11 children, but nothing to feed them. To get water, they would walk three hours every day to get to the wells (水井). Shameem found that the position was more than just a job for her. She discovered her power. By setting an example, her experience could encourage more people to understand the importance of education and send their daughters to school.Now, Shameem teaches in a rural school in her hometown. “The first day I walked into the school” she said, “I saw all these little Shameem looking at me with dreams in their eyes, the same dream of freedom which I had in my childhood.”Today, there is not a single girl in her village who doesn’t go to school60.Why couldn’t other girls attend school when Shameem was young?_____________________________________________________________________________ 61.Who helped Shameem achieve her dream to go to school?_____________________________________________________________________________ 62.How was the women’s life in other parts of Pakistan?_____________________________________________________________________________ 63.Where does Shameem work now?_____________________________________________________________________________ 64.Are the girls allowed to go to school in Shameem’s hometown now?_____________________________________________________________________________IV. 写作技能（三部分，共11小题，计32分）第一节语篇翻译（共5小题，计10分）May is the best month in my mind. 65.

湖南省长沙市开福区青竹湖湘一外国语学校2023-2024学年八年级下学期期末考试英语试题
湖南省长沙市开福区青竹湖湘一外国语学校2023-2024学年八年级下学期期末考试英语试题一、阅读理解If you want a free entry to some scenic spots, you just need to recite (背诵) ancient poems. Let’s get to know such scenic spots.1．How can one visit the scenic spots for free?A．By engraving beautiful words.B．By saying their famous names.C．By reciting an ancient poem.2．Which of following is TRUE according to the chart?A．People can still see Li Bai’s couplet on Yueyang Tower.B．“The three famous towers in the south of the Yangtze River” are in Nanchang.C．The Old Tippler’s Pavilion is famous for Wang Bo’s poem.Xuwen, a small county of Zhanjiang City, is located at the southernmost tip of the Chinese mainland and the southwest of Guangdong Province. Xuwen has a history of pineapple planting that goes back nearly 100 years. One in three pineapples sold in the country comes from this place. With a pineapple planting area of about 350,000 mu and a yearly output of about 700,000 tons, it is known as the “hometown of pineapples” in China. But what makes Xuwen so successful?In 2019, the Guangdong government introduced a marketing system (系统) for pineapples grown in Xuwen and set up a special working group to make it happen. They called it “12221”, including the following five parts: “one database (数据基地) of agricultural product (农产品); “two” teams, namely buyers and producers (生产者); “two” marketing areas, sales areas and production areas; “two” activities, helping buyers into the production area and agricultural products into the market; and “one” goal-rural vitalization (乡村振兴). On the one hand, the project sent the fruit to bigger markets by finding buyers and improving the business sense of growers. On the other hand, it used big data to guide production and sales, according to Huang Jiatuan, who’s in control of agricultural development in Xuwen. “It changed people’s opinions and helped farmers have a better understanding of marketing,” said Liu Yicun, who used to work at the Xuwen government.Pineapples have also attracted people from around the country to visit Xuwen, helping the development of the local tourism. “Much like film locations became a calling card for different cities.

But this is not new as one might think. Unlike the elaborate (复杂的) clothing TV series show, ancient Chinese wore clothing that was lighter and thinner than modern people can imagine. Let us find out some examples of summer clothing from ancient China.The most famous piece is a sha gown (a piece of clothing made of “sha”). It was unearthed from Han Tomb No. 1 at Mawangdui in Changsha, Hunan province, in 1972. It is the earliest, most well-kept and thinnest dress in the world. The sha gown, “thin as a cicada (蝉) wing” and “light as smoke”, weighs 49 grams and can be folded into a matchbox.From the Han Dynasty to the Tang and Song Dynasties, luo robes got popular among the nobility (贵族) and only officials in the government were allowed to wear clothing made of this very thin material. Luo robes were right for the hot and wet southern areas of China. Compared with sha, luo has larger holes in the fabric (织物), making it more lightweight and breathable.But both sha and luo were unaffordable for common people. So the smart ancient people found a way to use plant fibers (纤维) for making clothes, which made the cost of summer clothing drop greatly. That is ge. Once the lunar month of June arrived, people would change to ge clothing. Later, fabric made from the plant “ma” came out, making summer clothing inexpensive and commonly used. During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, a classical style of clothing appeared. Liang dang is made up of front and back pieces, later called the vest (背心). It wasconvenient (方便的) for people working outdoors for a long time.Although the lives of ancient times cannot be compared to the modern time, the Chinese people actively looked for ways to make their summers more comfortable and convenient. 7．Which are the common features (特点) of sha gowns and luo robes?A．Light and thin.B．Comfortable and cheap.C．Warm and colorful. 8．The underlined word “unaffordable” in Paragraph 4 probably means _______.A．inconvenient B．costly C．uncomfortable9．What can we infer from the passage?A．Ge clothes are much cheaper than ma clothes.B．People could wear liang dang when working outdoors.C．Lives in ancient times are better than that in the modern time.10．What does the writer think of Chinese people?A．Peace-loving.B．Actively-thinking.C．Hard-working.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。
2019-2020学年长沙青竹湖湘一外国语学校高三英语第二次联考试题及参考答案
2019-2020学年长沙青竹湖湘一外国语学校高三英语第二次联考试题及参考答案第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项AI started working with my hands at a young age. The youngest of five brothers, I took on the role as a “maintenance (维修) man” at an early age for our family’s small grocery store. Often my dad wouldn’t give me a clear idea of how something shouldbe done, so I just had to figure it out by researching or through trial and error.Fast forward to 2016 and those problem-solving skills would become the focus of Tippecanoe High School’s Homebuilding class. I knew I wanted to teach the students skills that went beyond just being able to hammer nails or cut pieces of two-by-fours. The problem was that we didn’t have the resources at the time to do much else. The idea of attracting some type of funding seemed very important. Designing, building and selling a tiny house on wheels seemed like the perfect project to accomplishthe task. I reached out to a number of local businesses and most of them responded with the greatest support for what x k w we were doing.This year we added a new element to the program. Through one of our partners, we were able to connect with the nonprofit Veteran’s Ananda Incorporated. Students in the Homebuilding class are leading the design and production of micro houses to be donated to this organization. The new partnership gives the students another focus to consider when designing and building the houses.There has been no shortage of students since our first year. Three years ago we had 41 students, the next 191, and this year it was limited to just over 160 students so we could have a safe and manageable classroom environment. The number of girls taking the class has risen steadily over the last few years as well. This class offers something for everyone and the skills are universal.1. How can we describe the young author?A. He opened a small grocery store.B. He did a lot of research in the lab.C. He enjoyed doing hands-on activities.D. He learnt about maintenance from his father.2. What do the underlined words “the task” in paragraph 2 refer to?A. Getting some financial support.B. Selling a tiny house on wheels.C. Reaching out to many local businesses.D. Offering the students some problem-solving skills.3. What can be inferred about the Homebuilding class from the last paragraph?A. Its size needs increasing.B. Itis popular with the students.C. It has caused some safety concerns.D. Its classroom environment is hard to manage.BThe measurable threat to the environment has been worsened by the spread of COVID-19 that increases the need for plastic protective equipment. Most plastic is made from fossil fuels. Millions of tons of greenhouse gas are released from the development of these resources and plastic production and burning.The end life of plastic is just worrisome. Less than 10% of the plastic produced has been recycled. Even more of it has been burned. But the vast majority of plastic has been buried inland, and it is increasingly polluting the environment. We hear mostly about ocean plastic and the harm done to sea creatures that mistake plastic bags and bits for food. But microplastic is even more worrisome. Plastic doesn't break down biologically but instead breaks down into tiny particles（a very small piece of something）, which have been found in every corner of the planet, on land and in the air, in drinking water and food sources.Yet the public has not given this global environmental disaster the attention it requires. Instead, they have viewed single-use plastic—which makes up about 40% of plastic used each year—as a litter issue that can be solved through better recycling and waste management. That attitude must change because the recent global breakdown of the market for recycling has made it clear that it has never been, nor ever will be, able to keep up with plastic trash use.California has been the forerunner of plastic waste reduction—it was the first state to ban single-use plastic bags and may be the first state to transform the way goods are packaged. The state also came close to passing an act which would have required that products sold in plastic packaging in the state have a proven recycling rate of 75% by 2032. California, though influential, can't solve this crisis alone. The US has long been producing a great amount of plastic trash and it should engage in reducing the use of plastic as well.4. Why does the author mention the release of greenhouse gas in paragraph 1?A. To show the harm of plasticB. To warn of the climate change.C. To call for the development of fossil fuels.D. To highlight the importance of plastic equipment.5. What's the author's attitude towards the public opinion on single-use plastic?A. Favorable.B. Tolerant.C. Curious.D. Opposed.6. What's California's role in reducing plastic waste?A. A pioneer.B. A failure.C. An objector.D. A predictor.7. What can be the best title for the text?A. Microplastic Products Are HarmfulB. Waste Recycling Is an Urgent MatterC. Plastic Waste Pollution Is a Wake-up CallD. Global Environmental Disasters Are IncreasingCHundreds of millions of people watched on television on July 20, 1969, when American astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin became the first humans to land on the moon. Back then, businesses sold many products connected to the event and many such products are now on sales again — in celebration of the moon landing’s 50th anniversary.A limited number of Omega’s gold Speedmaster watches — the same kind that Buzz Aldrin wore on the moon — will be sold at $34,600. Omega Speedmaster watches have been an important part of space travel since NASA chose them for its moon landing in 1965. Other watches had failed required tests. Omega gave its gold Speedmasters to the astronauts at a dinner in 1969 before the landing. Another less costly type of silver Speedmasters will be sold at $ 9,650. It carries a picture of Aldrin stepping down from the moon lander.Something for children-as well as adults — is the NASA Apollo 11 moon lander set. Made by Lego, it is a group of small pieces to put together to make a model of the moon lander.Other things for sale include the anti-gravity Fisher Space Pens,developed just for the Apollo 11 mission. They work even when writing upside down. Now Fisher Space Pen Company has a limited-edition pen for sale at anout-of this-worldprice: $700, with real material from the Apollo 11 spacecraft.Back in 1969, companies were quick to show their Apollo 11 connections with media and advertisements.The food company Stouffer’s made sure consumers knew it provided food for Apollo 11 astronauts once they returned to Earth. It started the ad campaign “Everybody who’s been to the moon is eating Stouffer’s”. Fifty years later, the company is celebrating with a media campaign to share some recipes from 1969.Marketing experts David Meerman Scott says, “Since 1972,we’ve gone around and around the earth many times, and it is not interesting to people any more. I’m not sure whether they can accept such crazy prices. Now NASA has had plans to go to Mars in the 2030s and marketing efforts for a NASA Mars mission should be in development.”8. What can we learn about the gold Speedmaster watch?A. It will be sold at $34,600.B. NASA bought itats9,650.C. It has Aldrin’s picture inside.D. It was chosen by NASA in 1969.9.

Criticism from coaches, parents and other teammates, as well as pressure to win can create too much anxiety or stress for young athletes. Stress canbe physical, emotional, or psychological and research has indicated that it can lead to burnout. Burnout has been described as dropping or quitting of an activity that was at one time enjoyable.The early years of development are critical years for learning about oneself. The sport setting is one where valuable experiences can take place. Young athletes can, for example, learn how to cooperate with others, makefriends, and gain other social skills that will be used throughout their lives. Coaches and parents should be aware, at all times, that their feedback to youngsters can greatly affect their children. Youngsters may take their parents and coaches’ criticisms to heart and find faults in themselves.Coaches and parents should also pay attention that youth sport participation does not become work for children. The outcome of the game should not be more important than the process of learning the sport and other life lessons. In today’s youth sport setting young athletes may be worrying more about who will win instead of enjoying themselves and the sport. Following a game many parents and coaches focus on the outcome and find faults with youngsters’ performances. Positive support should be provided regardless of the outcome. Research indicates that positive support motivates and has a greater effect on learning than criticism. Again, criticism can create high levels of stress, which can lead to burnout.12. An effective way to prevent the burnout of young athletes is_____________.A. to make sport less competitiveB. to increase their sense of successC. to reduce their mental stressD. to make sport more challenging13.
