We put trackers (跟踪仪) around wild elephants’necks, so we can learn about their activities.In May 2009, in the middle of the wet season, Rommel appeared again. And it was histurn to be placed a collar. We sent three cars out to search for him. There’s a river running through the park where many elephants gather in the mornings. At 10:30 am, one of my partners clocked Rommel.A tranquillizer (镇静剂) was carefully shot into his body so we could safely place a collaron him, but for a bull of Rommel’s size it could take longer. After that, he turned away, heading in an unexpected direction and seemed to be near danger by killing himself in thewater. It would be a bad accident. Only by pulling his trunk (象鼻) from the river, could weensure his survival. The problem was that the river was a little bit changeable. Immediately, I decided to act. I jumped in and lifted his heavy, twitching trunk from the water with the help of lifeguards. The team tried to fit him with a collar, but we discovered that we didn’t have one big enough.We couldn’t risk keeping him there while we created a bigger collar. So I struggled on, holding his trunk high with all my strength. And medicine that took away the efforts of the tranquillizer was delivered.As soon as his ears started to move, a sign of coming to life, I dropped his trunk and moved to safety. Within a couple of minutes, he was back to life.

But the man with lifelong love of math recently found it didn’t always go well when he tried explaining mathematical concepts(概念)to his then-school-aged children.He thinks that learning with kids to see what’s puzzling to them and what’s easy for them are the final test of whether you know a topic—whether you can explain it.Teachers often ask students to give a statement on a subject to show that they understand it. Studies show that people are more likely to remember and understand concepts they’ve learned after explaining them to someone else or even to themselves.That means you can testyour own knowledge in a subject simply by trying to teach it to a friend,to see both how much information you’ve kept and how well you actually understand its concepts. If they successfully learn from you, it’s a good sign that you’re on the right track.The leader, who studied math and computer science at university, noted that while hewas personally good at math as a high school student, he had trouble passing that enthusiasm(热情)to his three kids.He loves doing math, but in the past his younger daughter would always say that he made it so complicated (复杂的) and he didn’t need to explain this to her. Because she just wanted to know the answer.Today, his three children are all in their 20s.While they may not have enjoyed the math lessons, he says that one of his favorite things is teaching calculus(微积分)to the kids.There are a few very difficult concepts in calculus.He must explain why calculus is so important and why calculus has those funny symbols. It’s crazy and it’s probably the thing he enjoys themost.8．What happened to the leader recently?A．He explained Chinese well.B．He developed his lifelong love of math.C．He met a challenge in playing with his kids.D．He had trouble explaining mathematical concepts to his kids.9．What does the author encourage people to do in paragraph 3?A．Communicate with others actively.B．Build relationship with others.C．Manage to describe themselves.D．Know about their own learning by teaching others.10．What did the leader’s younger daughter care about?A．Describing an example.B．Learning with her father.C．Getting the final answer.D．Keeping enthusiasm high.11．What does the leader think of his teaching calculus to his children?A．It brings him happiness.B．It helps his kids grow.C．It gives him a lesson.D．It improves his maths.A volcanic eruption (火山喷发) created a new but possibly changeable island in the middle of the South Pacific Ocean. An underwater volcano next to the Kingdom of Tonga erupted in early September, causing lava (岩浆) to rise to the surface. The steam (蒸汽) and water out of it then formed into a new land mass, measuring at over eight acres.The Home Reef seamount is the place where the volcano erupted on September 10th, 2022. NASA’s Earth Observatory noted that it took about eleven hours for the land mass torise out of the water. The agency published an image that has spread on social media that shows the size of the new unnamed island.Over the weekend, the Tonga Geological Services stated the island was about 8.6 acresand measured about 50 feet above sea level. While volcanic activities continued to plague the Home Reef, only a couple of neighboring the Tonga islands were at low risk. “All sailors are, however, advised to sail beyond 4 kilometers away from Home Reef until further notice,” officials with the Tonga Geological Services noted in a statement.Underwater volcanic eruptions near Tonga that led to new islands,although uncommon,have happened a few times over the last two centuries, including in 1852, 1857, 1984 and 2006. However, NASA’s Earth Observatory showed that many of these volcanic islands existed only for a few months or years.“Islands created by undersea volcanoes often last only for a short time, though very few sometimes last for years. Home Reef has had four recorded periods of eruptions, including events in 1852 and 1857,” the agency noted. “An island created by a 12-day eruption from nearby Late’iki volcano in 2020 was washed away after two months, while an earlier island created in 1995 by the same volcano remained for 25 years.”12．What’s the main idea of paragraph 1?A．How the lava rose to the surface.B．How an unnamed island formed.C．Why an unnamed island disappeared.D．Why an underwater volcano erupted. 13．What does the underlined word “plague” mean in paragraph 3?A．Change.B．Trouble.C．Control.D．Measure. 14．Which of the following best describes the islands created by undersea volcanoes?A．Short-lived.B．Common.C．Fast-growing.D．Huge. 15．What is the best title for the text?A．Tonga Islands Are At RiskB．Underwater V olcano Creates New Island In The PacificC．NASA Made New Discoveries In The PacificD．V olcanic Eruption Ruins Neighboring Tonga Islandsimproving your confidence when speaking English.●Concentrate on the positive, not the negative (消极的). 17 Don’t think or say things like “My English is so bad” or “I’ll never be good at English”. Those negative beliefs will make you less confident. Instead, think about your successes and strong points. When you concentrate on positive things, your confidence will improve.●Understand that most mistakes aren’t so serious. Understand that most mistakes don’t matter very much. If you’re always worrying about mistakes, then you’ll feel nervous about your English. But the truth is that when you’re speaking, most people won’t notice your small mistakes. 18●Stand up straight, make eye contact, smile and breathe. One involves what you do withyour body when you’re speaking English, and that is to stand up straight or sit up straight, make eye contact, smile and remember to breathe. 19 So when you act confidently with your body by having good posture and making eye contact, and when you relax your face by smiling and breathing, these will make your spoken English more confident and comfortable as well.● 20 The more you practice something, not only do you get better, but you also get more confident. If you only speak English once a week for a couple minutes, then it’s going to take a long time to build up your confidence! Look for other opportunities to practice your speaking.A．Speak louder and slower.B．Practice ns much ns possible.C．What you need to do is to improve your attitude.D．Your body language has an effect on your confidence.E．Are you wondering how to speak English confidently?F．How do you correct your mistakes when writing English?G．So relax and don’t put so much stress on yourself to be perfect.二、完形填空Katie Stagliano was 9 years old and she was in the third grade.

浙江省杭州市金华卓越联盟2023-2024学年高一上学期12月月考英语试题

浙江省杭州市金华卓越联盟2023-2024学年高一上学期12月月考英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读选择This week in our national park’s journey, we explore a vast area with mountains, beaches, forests, and glaciers. Olympic National Park! It covers more than 400,000 hectares with several different ecosystems.Elwha ValleyThe Elwha V alley is in the central part of the park. It is the Olympic Peninsula’s largest watershed. A watershed is an area of land that separates waters that flow to different rivers or seas. Today, the Elwha River is the site of one of the largest ecosystem restoration projects in National Park Service history.Hoh River ValleyThe Hoh River is on the west side of the park. The river is formed from melted glacial ice on top of Mount Olympus. The river is 80 kilometers long. It empties into the Pacific Ocean. The area receives about 400 centimeters of rain each year. It is a temperate rainforest. Because of the amount of rain, many different types of plants grow in the Hoh rainforest, from mosses and ferns to huge Sitka spruce trees.Hurricane RidgeHurricane Ridge is a mountain area in the northern part of the park. It is easy to enter, and provides incredible views of the Olympic Mountains. The ridge has many hiking paths. In winter, people come here to ski. They also come here to take part in other fun winter activities, like sledding and snowboarding. Hurricane Ridge usually has snow from December through the end of March. Visitors must be prepared for icy roads and severe weather.The CoastThe westernmost part of the park is Pacific coastline. Olympic National Park has many breathtaking beaches. One of them is Rialto Beach, known for its tall seastacks while North of Rialto Beach is Hole-in-the-Wall. It is a natural arch that has been carved by the powerful sea.1．What can you do on the west side of the park?A．Swim in the river.B．Learn about various plants.C．Go hiking with your friends.D．Walk on the beaches.2．Which part is the most suitable for those who like winter sports?A．Elwha Valley.B．Hoh River Valley.C．Hirricane Ridge.D．Rialto Beach.3．What do the four attractions have in common?A．They are all very cold.B．They are all rich in ecosystems.C．They can all be reached easily.D．They are all part of Olympic National Park.At noon, the Tongxin Cafeteria near the Jing’an Temple downtown has a queue that exemplifies its multi-generational popularity. The menu, with over 60 dishes rotated daily, is liked by a series of tastes.“Compared with food ordered for lunch online, this place is much better.” said Chen Luo, an accountant from a nearby office building. Chen, who lives alone, formerly depended heavily on delivered meals ordered online until her parents raised concerns about the nutritional value and what they called “bad food materials.”Cooking for herself is too time-wasting, she said. “I used to spend two hours cooking and washing dishes, only to eat for 10 minutes,” Chen said. “The nearby community canteen (餐厅) is a perfect solution. These cafeterias, once known as ‘senior canteens’, were originally built to provide healthy meals at affordable prices to older folks who might not be getting enough nutrition at home. From 2019 to 2021, the Shanghai government set a goal of building 200 new community canteens, bringing the total at the end of last year to 1,608.A basic meal with one meat dish and two vegetables costs less than 20 yuan (US$2.70), far cheaper than prices in mainstream downtown restaurants. And all meals are prepared on site with fresh materials. The government supports these cafeterias—sometimes with rent-free space; sometimes with reduced water and electricity charges.Li Jiajun, the manager of a local community canteen, said the prices of the dishes are 20 percent lower than popular market rates because of the government assistance. His canteen provides elderly diners from 10:30—11:30 am and 4:30—5:30 pm. Apart from those hours, people of all ages are welcome.Li said cafeteria managers are required to maintain detailed records, including 48-hour food samples and daily uploads to food safety platforms. This approach ensures the paths ofall materials. Some community cafeterias have become so popular that they appear on WeChat and other lifestyle sharing platforms.4．Why is the menu mentioned in paragraph 1?A．To describe the menu.B．To introduce the topic.C．To arouse readers’ curiosity.D．To highlight the dishes.5．What can we learn from the passage?A．Chen Luo’s parents were too busy to cook nutritional meals for her.B．From 2019 to 2021, the Shanghai government built 1,608 new community canteens.C．The community canteens needn’t pay for electricity with the government assistance.D．The community canteens were once built to provide healthy meals for seniors. 6．Which of the following is not the reason why community canteens become popular?A．nutrition value B．fresh materialsC．government support D．lower prices7．What can probably be the best title for the passage?A．Community canteens growing in popularityB．Tongxin canteen liked by multi-generationsC．Community canteens shared on platformsD．More community canteens built for seniorsFrom AI-made jokes to Harry Potter fashion videos, AI can be used to make funny stuff. But can it be as funny as a human? And if it can, does it present a danger to comedy writers in the future? That’s something performers have been looking at in this year’s Edinburgh Festival Fringe, running from Aug 4 to 28.Anyone can put on a show at the Fringe, and this year even robots were getting in on the act. One of Fringe’s big shows even used a small robot to come up with jokes from audience suggestions, which were then performed by humans. The results could be very funny, but sometimes they weren’t funny at all. That was part of the point, explained Piotr Mirowski, the show’s co-maker.“We do not use humans to ‘show off’ AI; instead, we use AI ‘to show’ its limitations, to showcase human creativity on the stage,” said Mirowski, according to the Guardian.But one performer at the Fringe said he’s using AI to make jokes for him because he’s out of ideas. Comedian Peter Bazely’s show has him playing a supporting role to “an entirelycomputer-generated comedian” called AI Jesus. The Fringe review website, Chortle, talked about today’s AI concerns: “In a world where artists are worried that AI could end up doing their jobs for them, Bazely is said to be praying this one will do exactly that.”The reasons for companies wanting to use AI are certainly understandable, but the dangers they present to many people’s jobs are becoming more and more real, and that’s not very funny. From concerns in schools and colleges about students using ChatGPT for their work, to writers and actors worrying that AI could be used to replace them, fears about the dangers of AI are a hot topic in the world.Back in March of this year, a letter calling for a six-month stop on advanced AI development was signed by over 1,000 people working with AI technologies including Elon Musk and other well-known tech leaders, reported The New York Times. Then, in May, leaders in the AI industry signed a document from the Center for AI Safety warning that AI could present an extinction-level danger and “should be a global priority alongside... pandemics and nuclear war.”8．In what way is the Fringe unique this year?A．Some jokes were created by robots.B．It presented dangers to comedy writers .C．Harry Potter fashion videos were shown.D．The AI-made jokes were very funny. 9．Which of the following is true according to Paragraph 4?A．AI Jesus is an expert in jokes.B．AI was used to show its creativity.C．Bazely was positive about using AI.D．Chortle was concerned about the use of AI.10．Why does AI present a danger in the future?A．Because many people will use AI to show off.B．Because some people will probably be out of work.C．Because well-known tech leaders will stop developing AI.D．Because AI can present pandemics and nuclear war.11．What’s the author’s attitude to the future of the AI development?A．Positive.B．Negative.C．Unclear.D．Objective.An Austrian company Tec-Innovation recently showed smart shoes that use ultrasonic sensors (超声波传感器) to help people suffering from vision impairment to discoverobstacles(障碍) up to four meters away.Known as InnoMake, the smart shoe aims to replace the decades-old walking stick that millions of people around the world depend on to get around as safely as possible. The currently available model relies on sensors to detect obstacles and warns the wearer through shaking and a loud alert sounded on a bluetooth-linked smartphone. That sounds impressive enough, but the company is already working on a much more advanced version that incorporates cameras and artificial intelligence to not only detect obstacles but also their nature.“Not only is the warning that I am facing an obstacle relevant, but also the information about what kind of obstacle I am facing. Because it makes a big difference whether it’s a wall, a car or a staircase.” Markus Raffer, one of the founders of Tec-Innovation, told TechXplore.”Ultrasonic sensors on the toe of the shoe detect obstacles up to four meters away. The wearer is then warned by vibration and/or acoustic signals. This works very well and is already a great help to me personally.” Raffer, himself visually impaired, added.The current version of the InnoMake shoe is already available for purchase on the Tec-Innovation website, for €3,200 per pair.The advanced system is integrated in the front of the shoes, in a waterproof and dustproof case. It is powered by a heavy-duty battery that can last for up to one week, depending on use. The battery can be charged in just three hours, using a USB cable.The next step for Tec-Innovation is to use the data collected by its system to create a kind of street view navigation map for visually impaired people.“As it currently stands, only the wearer benefits in each case from the data the shoe collects as he or she walks. It would be much more sustainable if this data could also be made available to other people as a navigation aid,” computer scientist Friedrich Fraundorfer explained.12．Who are interested in the smart shoes?A．The deaf people.B．The injured people.C．The blind or sight-impaired.D．The sick people.13．What does the underlined word “integrated” mean in the sixth paragraph?A．Combined.B．Separated.C．Benefited.D．Allowed. 14．What does the second paragraph mainly tell us?A．Why the smart shoes are developed.B．What the smart shoes can do.C．How the smart shoes work.D．How the data are collected. 15．Where is the text probably taken?A．A science report.B．A fashion magazine.C．An educational column.D．A news report.Vanessa Gebhardt, a psychologist, explained how breaking these harmful habits can help to have a positive effect.1. Constantly checking your phoneResearch by De Montfort University recently found that checking your phone regularly can make you more distracted and forgetful, and that’s not to mention the negative impact this habit can have on your mental health. 17 To overcome this, monitor your screen time and be mindful of who you choose to follow, which online conversations or debates you choose to join, and focus on the positive posts, rather than the negative ones.2. Being inside all dayThe corona-virus pandemic has been tough on many people as being inside all day can be difficult. Spending the majority of your day indoors can significantly increase your risk for depression, with lack of sunlight and vitamin D contributing to depressive symptoms. 18 3. 19Sleeping too little can leave us feeling under the weather, and this Vanessa says, is because sleep deprivation leads to low mood, difficulty concentrating, irritability, and getting more easily overwhelmed, which can negatively impact your mental health. Using techniques to relax before bed will help you to develop a sleep routine that works for you, helping you to feel energized and more positive during your waking hours.4. Bad dietStudies have shown that high-sugar, processed foods like cakes, bread, and biscuits, as well as red meat can significantly raise the risk for depression and eating these sorts of foods on a regular basis could be one of the reasons your mental health is suffering. To positively impact your mental health, pay close attention to the foods you are fueling your body and mind with. 205. Lack of exerciseExercising is brilliant for reducing stress and the feel-good endorphins released byexercise can be an instant mood-booster. Regular exercise can also help improve your energy levels and motivation, increasing feelings of happiness and reducing symptoms of depression, anxiety, and stress.A．This mindless checking is a hurtful habit to push us to look for immediate satisfaction.B．It is important to choose a meal full of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.C．Spending too much time checking your phone can reduce self-respect and produce negative thoughts.D．Sleeping too late.E．Lack of sleep.F．Pretending to go to and from work is a great way to head outside for a short walk.G．But there are some that can be bad for our mental health.二、完形填空It was a cold May morning when I received an interesting email from an old high schoolwhat you’re capable of if you don’t go out there and try.21．A．yes B．no C．so D．never 22．A．girls B．adults C．seniors D．women 23．A．swimming B．surfing C．boating D．diving 24．A．worried B．anxious C．confused D．honored 25．A．in B．out C．off D．away 26．A．eager B．new C．familiar D．specific 27．A．personalities B．goals C．desires D．interests 28．A．enjoy B．help C．challenge D．defeat 29．A．Guided B．Divided C．Designed D．Named 30．A．fell B．froze C．reached D．crashed 31．A．fear B．pride C．encouragement D．wonder 32．A．badly B．perfectly C．carefully D．bravely 33．A．try B．succeed C．finish D．manage 34．A．suggests B．stops C．prevents D．inspires 35．A．leave behind B．step out of C．reach into D．get through三、语法填空45 (sit) all the day.四、翻译46．他给我们树立了良好的榜样，从他身上我们能学到很多。

While at first anxiety and depression would come and go, it eventually became constant part of my life.I was so set on finding the solution to overcoming it that I tried everything from which I was in college to graduate school: mood-changing medication, special teas, yoga, think I read about in books, and advice given by doctors. Despite this, I still felt I hadn’t even come close to managing the problem.But one afternoon, I spotted an article in a magazine talking about how dogs were all to help people with anxiety and depression. The next day, I managed to get a dog — corgi (柯基犬).However, once the “puppy excitement” went away, my anxiety and depression came back as usual. One morning, I woke up with those familiar feelings again. I didn’t want to get out of bed. I turned to pull the covers back over my head and give up. That’s when I saw my pet—Buddy.Buddy started jumping all over me, licking (舔) my face, and letting me know that it was time to go outside. It was as if he were saying, “There’s no time to be sad! The world is amazing!” And for the first time in my life, on a day when my anxiety and depression were strong, I got out of bed. I put on my winter clothes and went for a walk in the snow with my new friend. I realized at that moment, walking down the street in winter , my life was changing.

The findings show that red light might be a cheap and easy treatment for declines in color vision as we get older.Last year, researchers from University College London did a study on red light therapy. 24 healthy volunteers, aged between 28 and 72, were asked to look at red light for three minutes every day for two weeks. Tests later found that the eyesight of people over the age of 40 improved.To test the possible weak points of their therapy, they did a new study this year. Instead of using the light every day, they used it once a week. The new study included 20 volunteers, aged between 34 and 70, all with healthy vision. Some received red light therapy in the morning, and others received it in the afternoon. They were then tested on their color vision up to a week later.On the whole, those who got the treatment in the morning showed a 17% improvement in their color vision, even a week later. Those who got the treatment in the afternoon did not have any improvement.“We’ve found that one single exposure to red light in the morning can greatly improve declining vision,” said lead author Glen Jeffrey.The findings do support their earlier work, and they might make the treatment more practicable, since a once-weekly treatment is easier to stick to than a daily one. But the team’s promising results are still drawn on small numbers of healthy volunteers. Larger studies would be needed to show the benefits of red light therapy.“In the near future, a once-a-week three-minute exposure to deep red light could be donewhile making a coffee or listening to a song, and such a simple thing could change eye care and vision around the world,” Jeffrey said.Given its low cost (as little as $15) per device, and simplicity, the team is excited about the future of their therapy.8．What plays a key role in red light therapy?A．The time of day for treatment.B．The device used in the treatment.C．The time that one treatment lasts.D．The number of treatments received.9．What makes it necessary to improve the study?A．The age of the volunteers.B．The number of the volunteers.C．The poor vision of the volunteers.D．The health condition of the volunteers.10．In which column of a magazine can we find this article?A．Travel.B．Business.C．Entertainment.D．Health. 11．What is the purpose of this text?A．To state the importance of eye care.B．To explain the value of deep red light.C．To introduce a way to fight vision decline.D．To encourage aged people to protect their eyesight.Which comes first, happiness or money? Are richer people happier? And if so, how do people get much richer? A recent study could tell you the answer.The study looked into thousands of teenagers and found that those who felt better about life as young adults tended to have higher incomes by the time they turned 29. Those who were happiest earned an average of 8,000 more than those who were the most depressed.The researchers, from University College London and the University of Warwick, say that very gloomy teens, no matter how tall or smart they were, earned 10% less than their peers, while the happier ones earned up to 30% more.Happier teenagers have an easier time getting through school, college and a job interview, chiefly because they always feel better about life.It may also be true that happier people find it easier to make friends, who are often the key to homework help or networking.A report in June suggested that professional respect was more important than dollars in terms of workplace happiness.In August, scientists announced that they had found the gene for happiness in women.However, the same gene doesn’t appear to have the same effect on men.And in October researchers in the UK and in the US announced that people who eat seven portions of fruit and vegetables a day report being the happiest.The big question is: if it really is true that happier kids end up being wealthier kids, is it necessary for parents to get their kids to do the homework?The fact is that no homework will make kids happy but surely hurt their grades.Studies do show, after all, that more education leads to betterpaid jobs, which may give us a deep thought.“These findings show that the teenagers’ happiness is important to their future success, ” one of the report’s authors writes.” But what is the most important is that we should find a way to help children gain more satisfaction from doing schoolwork.”12．What conclusion can the researchers draw from the recent study?A．Wealth has nothing to do with happiness at all.B．Money can make people become happier.C．Happy teenagers grow up to be wealthier.D．Schoolwork can help teens achieve success.13．The main reason why happier people have more chances to succeed is that .A．they are hopeful and optimistic about their lifeB．they are good at doing their schoolworkC．they are easy to communicate with othersD．they eat much more fruit and vegetables a day14．The underlined word “gloomy” in Paragraph 3 probably means “ ”.A．wealthy B．generousC．happy D．upset15．What can be the best title for the text?A．The Way to Educate Kids B．The Secret of Being WealthierC．How to Achieve Your Goal D．The Source of HappinessHow to Do Well in Science ClassDoing well in science depends on developing useful study skills and learning to participate in class. 16 If you’ve got good study skills that you’ve developed in other courses, you’ll be able to use many of these to do well in science.Read the required material. When your teacher requires reading from a textbook or a website, take time to read it before you come to class. If you don’t have time to read it well, it’s a good idea to look quickly at it. In this way, it helps you get an idea of what it’s about. 17 Take clear and organized notes. The notes you take in class will help you know what to study between classes. 18 Instead, pay careful attention to any information your teacher stresses, which is likely to be included on tests.19 Many science classes include laboratory (实验室) experiments, which are practice of techniques you’ve learned about in your textbook or lectures. Your teacher will expect you to show up ready to start your experiment. Read the instructions for the laboratory in advance of class.Reread your notes after class. 20 , or which you feel might be wrong, check with your teacher or a classmate to ensure you have the right information. It may help you to rewrite your notes in a better way.This tests your understanding of the material in a way that ensures you’ve really understood the meaning.A．Work in a group with others in class.B．Be prepared for the laboratory experiment.C．Recording a lecture will allow you to hear it again.D．It includes doing a good job in laboratories as well.E．Don’t try to write down everything that the teacher says.F．If there’s anything in your notes that confuses youG．It also helps you be prepared to answer questions and have discussions.二、完形填空Born in Moscow, Russia, Mason is a disabled person, with no legs and only one arm.

Linda and NikoBWhen I was 16 years old, I made my first visit to the United States. It wasn't the first time that I had been abroad. Like most British children, I learned French at school and I had often been to France, so I was used to speaking a foreign language to people who didn't understand English. But when I went to America, I was really looking forward to having a nice easy holiday without any language problems.How wrong I was! The misunderstanding began at the airport. I was looking for a public telephone to give my friend Mary a ring and tell her that I had arrived. A friendly old man saw me looking like being lost and asked if he could help me." Yes," I said." I want to give my friend a ring."" Well, that's nice," he said." Are you getting married? But aren't you a bit young?"" Who is talking about marriage?" I replied." I just want to give my friend a ring to tell her I've arrived. Can you tell me where there's a phone box?"" Oh!" he said." There is a phone downstairs."When at last we did meet up, Mary explained the misunderstanding to me." Don't worry," she said to me." I had many difficulties at first. There are lots of words which the Americans use differently in meaning from usBritish. You'll soon get used to all the funny things they say. But most of the time British and American people can understand each other!"4. Where was white from?A. He was from America.B. He was from France.C. He was from Britain.D. He was from China.5. The writer thought in America.A. he wouldn't have any language difficulties.B. he would not understand Americans.C. the Americans might not understand him.D. he would have difficulties at the airport.6. The writer wantedA. to buy a ring for his friendB. to make a call to his friendC. to go to the telephone companyD. his found to see him off7. From the passage we can see that" give somebody a ring"A. means the same in America as in BritainB. means "call somebody" to the old manC. means "be going to get married"D. has different meanings in America and in BritainCMany of us don't pay much attention to the importance of eye care. It is said that if you take care of your body then you can surely be healthy. That is why our eyes should be given a lot of care. Natural eye care should be put in a number one place.There are several causes leading to poor eyesight like having not enough food, genes and aging(老化). Televisions, computers and reading are also the causes of having poor eyesight. If you happen to work in front of the computer, it is best to take a break every once in a while. Something dirty can cause redness and it will make you feel uncomfortable. It is bad for your eyes, too. If this happens, the best way is to clean your eyes by using cold water. You must also try your best to protect your eyes from harmful things. For example, sunglasses are not just for fashion but they can also serve as a great way to protect your eyesight from UV rays.Eating healthy food will do good to your eyesight. Remember that vitamins A, C and E are good for eyes. Try to eat food groups that have these vitamins. And you should do eye exercises which can protect your eyesight, too. If a person exercises regularly and eats the right kind of food, his eyes will stay in good condition for a long time.All above are natural ways of eye care that help us to keep healthy eyes. Being happy all the time can be helpful to a person's eyesight, too. In a word, eye care is very important, no matter how old a person is.8. is the most important way to protect our eyes.A. Nature eye careB. Taking medicineC. Seeing the doctorD. Being happy all the time9. All the following courses can lead to bad eyesight exceptA.agingB. heightC.readingD. computers10. What should you do if you have to work in front of the computer?A. Eat healthy food.B. Clean the eyes by using cold water.C. While a pile of sunglasses.D. Have a rest after working for a while.11. Which is the best title of the passage?A. Ways of Eye CareB. Ways of Eye ExercisesC. Ways of Being HappyD. Ways of Being HealthyDIf you want to become a fluent English speaker you should take some advice. There are four skills in learning English. They are reading, listening, speaking and writing. The most important thing you must remember is that if you want to improve your speaking and writing skills you should first master the skills of reading and listening.Read as much as you can. But your reading must be active. It means that you must think about the meaning of sentences, the meaning of unfamiliar words etc. There is no need for you to pay much attention to grammar or try to understand all the unfamiliar words you come across, but the fact that you see them for the first time and recognize them whenever you see them, for example, in other passages or books, is enough. It would be better to prepare a notebook for yourself so you can write down the important words or sentences in it.As for listening, there are two choices: besides reading, you can listen every day for about 30 minutes. You can only pay attention to your reading and become skilful at your reading, and then you can catch up on your listening. Since you have lots of inputs in your mind, you can easily guess what the speaker is going to say. This never means that you should not practice listening.For listening you can listen to cartoons or some movies that are specially made for children. Their languages are easy. Or, if you are goodat listening you can listen to VOA or BBC programs every day. Again the thing to remember is being active in listening and preferably taking some notes.If you follow this pieces of advice you are speaking and writing will improve automatically, and you can be sure that with a little effort, they will become perfect.12. According to the author, which should you improve first amount the four skills.A. Reading and listening.B. Reading and writing.C. Writing and speaking.D. Speaking and listening.13. To improve your reading, when you read you should .A. look up all new words in the dictionary.B. spend more time studying grammar.C.think about what you are reading actively.D. copy as many words and sentences as possible.14. The author seems to agree with the view that .A. everyone should listen to VOA or BBC programs every day.B. you needn't practice listening if you keep on reading every day.C. being good at reading is helpful in improving your listening.D. you should take notes of whatever you are hearing.15. The passage is mainly about how toA. choose suitable listening materials.B. deal with new words in reading.C. improve your English as quickly as possible.D. become good at English reading and listening.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。

Speakers at recent TED events have shared simple and inexpensive solutions that can solve everyday problems.FUEL BRIQUETTES （燃料砖）In the developing world, smoke from indoor cooking kills more than 2 million children each year. In fact, it’s the number one cause of death of children under five. Amy Smith, founder of D-Lab at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), discovered a way to make a safe cooking fuel. The material she uses is also free and plentiful: farm waste.Smith invented a low-cost device that turns farm waste into fuel briquettes. These briquettes produce smoke that is less dangerous than the smoke from other fuel. They also burn hotter and last longer. Farmers can make these briquettes from readily available waste. This invention has an economic benefit, too. Farmers can buy the device for $2 and sell briquettes they don’t use. Smith estimates (估算) that this can increase a farmer’s income by $500 a month.DISASTER SHELTERSOver 31 million people worldwide lose their homes every year due to natural disasters such as hurricanes and earthquakes. After these disasters, many people live in terrible conditions—in tents or in large stadiums with no privacy. Graphic designer Michael McDaniel invented inexpensive and temporary housing for people in these situations.Called the Reaction Ex, these shelters are small, one-room houses that comfortably hold up to four people. They’re made from a plastic that is strong, recyclable, and super light. In fact, they’re so light that they can be lifted by hand and are very portable as well. McDaniel hopes that his invention will provide an affordable solution to help people rebuild their lives after a natural disaster.16．The key goal to invent the fuel briquettes is to________.A．increase family incomeB．make full use of farm wasteC．get free and plentiful cooking fuelD．protect kids from dangerous cooking smoke17．What are the features of disaster shelters?A．Light and affordable.B．Heavy and recyclable.C．Big and comfortable.D．Small and breakable.18．What is the main purpose of the passage?A．To explain design methods.B．To introduce new inventions.C．To report research findings.D．To advertise latest products.Compassion may be something that one is born with, but actually being good at caring for others requires experience and a certain set of skills. An early opportunity to develop and practice these skills came with the birth of my brother when I was in 5th grade. Although it took great patience to deal with a small child, I found deep joy in something so simple as watching him grow day by day.Not only did I enjoy taking care of my little brother, but I volunteered at theOrganization for Special Needs Families (OSNF) in my neighborhood so I could apply and further develop my childcare skills. I was partnered with Matthew, a 10-year-old with curly blond hair and blue eyes. He didn’t look different from other kids, but he had difficulty controlling his emotions, especially anger. His biggest problem was that he couldn’t go to the toilet himself. Every day I had to clean up his mess if he pooped in his pants. It was just like the “good old days” with my little brother before I successfully toilet-trained him.Although I was never going to be able to toilet-train Matthew, I was able to change his life in another way. We had swimming three times a week, but Matthew was hopelessly afraid of the water. At first, Matthew just sat on the steps of the pool and did nothing. I pushed him slowly down the stairs until he was at last standing in the shallowest part of the pool. The next day, I pushed him a little further into the water. By the third day, he completely trusted me to take him into the pool. Maybe my large size also helped give him a sense of security. He did not have to be afraid of anything when a 200-pound guy was holding him tight. I felt so proud as I saw him standing there in the pool, happily playing with other kids in the water. The OSNF adult leaders told me that I was the only volunteer who had been able to take care of Matthew well. I think what made the difference is the belief I had in Matthew, like how I had always believed in my little brother.Helping Matthew “grow” to overcome his fear of water made me realize things do not happen overnight. Real magic is a result of patience, and miracles happen when one believes in them.19．How did the author feel about taking care of his brother?A．Tired.B．Joyful.C．Proud.D．Stressed.20．The author volunteered at OSNF because he wanted to ________.A．use and improve his childcare skillsB．create a friendly neighborhoodC．change the lives of other kidsD．get some work experience21．With the author’s help, Matthew finally could ________.A．control his emotions B．play with his friendsC．poop in the toilet D．stand in the pool22．According to the author, what mattered most when he helped Matthew “grow”?A．His large size and strong body.B．His experience and knowledge.C．His patience and trust in Matthew.D．His willingness to take care of his brother.At the heart of psychology is understanding behavior, and understanding behavior has much to do with understanding the brain. Neuroscientists (神经系统科学家) have become more efficient at mapping the brain and have gained more understanding of how the brain develops and works. Truly, differences in behavior as we age and between genders, are most likely explained by the physical state of and changes in our brains.Around the age of 12, it is believed that the areas of the brain that are used most will be strengthened and cells in the brain that are not used tend to die. What you do with your brain in your teen years probably decides how your brain will work for the rest of your life. If a teen spends endless hours watching TV, the neural connections that help the brain process TV are what will be strengthened. It is clear, therefore, that how young people spend their time is of great importance.Surprisingly, and different from earlier beliefs, the brain is still developing even in the early twenties. Areas of the brain that are related to emotion, decision making, reasoning, and problem solving are still not fully developed. This may go some way toward explaining why car accident rates in young people are significantly higher than those among older people. Young people don’t have the necessary skills to make complex judgments while driving.There are also differences in the way brains develop when it comes to gender. It appears that girls are ready to process more challenging information earlier than boys, with the area of the brain responsible for this activity peaking at the age of 14 to 16 in boys, a full two years later than girls. In addition, studies have shown that girls and boys process language input in different parts of their brains. Girls typically tend to do better than boys in language, which means that they have more brain matter responsible for language skills.This kind of research raises important questions about how boys and girls should be taught in school to maximize (使最大化) their learning. For example, the idea of single-sex education should perhaps be taken into consideration. Experts say that we would do well to revisit the timing of the subjects taught in school, as some parts of the brain develop before others. Additionally, what we understand about the teenage brain should perhaps be taken intoconsideration when laws are being made with regard to the minimum (最低的) driving age. 23．According to the passage, young people are more likely to have car accidents because_______.A．they fail to realize the importance of skillsB．they don’t have the necessary skills in drivingC．certain areas in their brains are not fully developedD．their brains tend to be influenced by their emotions24．What can we learn from the passage?A．Earlier beliefs show the brain is still developing in the early twenties.B．Girls are better at language because they are devoted to language learning.C．How people spend their time when they’re teenagers affects their future life.D．Gender makes no difference when it comes to the physical state of the brain.25．It can be inferred from the last paragraph that ________.A．single-sex education may benefit teenagersB．the time when school starts should be put offC．lawmakers will lower the minimum driving ageD．the number of subjects in school might be changed26．Which would be the best title for this passage?A．Age and the Brain B．Genders and the BrainC．Mapping the Brain D．The Developing Brain三、阅读表达阅读下面的短文和问题，根据短文内容，完成对该问题的回答。

一、阅读理解 It’s quite hard to make a list of the most beautiful cities to visit in Italy, as every city in Italy

has its own look and unique atmosphere. However some of them are more popular than the others. And here is the list of them. Venice Venice, a unique city built over the water, is one of Italy’s most beautiful and romantic cities. The heart of Venice is Piazza San Marco with its magnificent church, Saint Mark’s Basilica. Wandering along Venice’s canals and getting lost in its narrow streets must be appealing. Venice is in the northeast of Italy and historically was a bridge between East and West. Milan Milan, one of Europe’s wealthiest cities, is known for stylish shops, galleries and restaurants 1t also has a rich artistic and cultural heritage. Its Gothic Duomo, with its beautiful marble facade (大理石外墙), is magnificent. Da Vinci’s painting The Last Supper, which is in Santa Maria Delle Grazie, is one of Milan’s top attractions. Naples Naples is one of Italy’s most lively cities. It lies on the coast south of Rome and is the most important city in southern Italy. Naples keeps much of its Baroque character and is a staring point for trips to Pompeii, Herculaneum, and the Amalfi Coast.

But the only thing that wasn’t very fun about it was that he could catch many fish while I couldn’t catch anything. I usually got pretty upset and kept asking him why. He always answered, ”Son, if you want to catch a fish, you have to think like a fish.” I remember being even more upset then because, “I’m not a fish!” I didn’t know how to think like a fish. Besides, I reasoned, how could what I think influence what a fish does?As I got a little older I began to understand what my dad really meant. So, I read some books on fish. And I even joined the local fishing club and started attending the monthly meetings. I learned that a fish is a cold-blooded animal and therefore is very sensitive to water temperature. That is why fish prefer shallow water to deep water because the former is warmer. Besides, water is usually warmer in direct sunlight than in the shade. Yet, fish don’t have any eyelids(眼皮) and the sun hurts their eyes…The more I understood fish, the more I became effective at finding and catching them.When I grew up and entered the business world, I remember hearing my first boss say, “We all need to think like salespeople.” But it didn’t completely make sense. My dad never once said, “If you want to catch a fish you need to think like a fisherman.” What he said was, “You need to think like a fish.” Years later, with great efforts to promote long-term services to people much older and richer than me, I gradually learned what we all need is to think more like customers. It is not an easy job. I will show you how in the following chapters. 36．Why was the author upset in fishing trips when he was nine？A．He could not catch a fishB．His father was not patient with himC．His father did not teach him fishingD．He could not influence a fish as his father did37．What did the author’s father really mean?A．To read about fishB．To learn fishing by oneselfC．To understand what fish thinkD．To study fishing in many waysA．in deep water on sunny daysB．in deep water on cloudy daysC．in shallow water under sunlightD．in shallow water under waterside treesA．it easy to think like a customerB．his father’s fishing advice inspiringC．his first boss’s sales ideas reasonableD．it difficult to sell services to poor peopleA．a fishing guideB．a popular sales bookC．a novel on childhoodD．a millionaire’s biographyHolidaymakers who are bored with baking beaches and overheated hotel rooms head for a big igloo. Swedish businessman Nile Bergqvist is delighted with his new hotel, the world’s first igloo hotel. Built in a small town in Lapland, it has been attracting lots of visitors, but soon the fun will be over.In two weeks’ time Bergqvist’s ice creation (作品) will be nothing more than a pool of water. “We don’t see it as a big problem,” he says. “We just look forward to replacing it.”Bergqvist built his first igloo in 1991 for an art exhibition. It was so successful that he designed the present one, which measures roughly 200 square meters. Six workmen spent more than eight weeks piling 1,000 tons of snow onto a wooden base; when the snow froze, the base was removed. “The only wooden thing we have left in the igloo is the front door,” he says.After their stay, all visitors receive a survival certificate recording their success. With nowindows, nowhere to hang clothes and temperatures below 0℃, it may seem more like a survival test than a relaxing (轻松的) hotel break. “It’s great fun,” Bergqvist explains, “As well as a good start in survival training.”The popularity of the igloo is beyond doubt: it is now attracting tourists from all over the world. At least 800 people have stayed at the igloo this season even though there are only 10 rooms. “You can get a lot of people in,” explains Bergqvist. “The beds are three meters wide by two meters long, and can fit at least four at one time.”41．Bergqvist designed and built the world’s first igloo hotel because ________.A．an art exhibition was about to openB．he wanted to make a name for the small townC．he believed people would enjoy trying something newD．more hotel rooms were needed42．When the writer says “the fun will be over,” he refers to the fact that ________.A．hotel guests will be frightened at the thought of the hard testB．a bigger igloo will replace the present oneC．holidaymakers will soon get tired of the big iglooD．Bergqvist’s hotel will soon become a pool of water43．According to the text, the first thing to do in building an igloo is ________.A．to gather a pool of waterB．to prepare a wooden baseC．to cover the ground with iceD．to pile a large amount of snow44．When guests leave the igloo hotel they will receive a paper stating that ________.A．they have had a taste of adventureB．they have had an ice-snow holidayC．they have had great fun sleeping on iceD．they have visited Lapland45．Which of the following pictures below is closest to the igloo hotel as described in the text?A．B．C．D．As someone who’s been studying English for many years now, you might think you know the English language pretty well. But if you overheard a British person say, “A Billy left some bees and honey in my sherbet (冰冻果露) last night,” would you understand what they meant?Probably not, but many native speakers may not know what this person was saying either.The example above was a sentence that a London taxi driver might say to another member of his or her tribe. In plain English, the sentence would be, “A customer left some money in my cab last night.”So, what exactly is meant by “tribe”?A recent article on the BBC Culture website pointed out that nearly all of us are a part of a tribe. This is a group that defines (定义) who we are and even how we speak. And with each tribe comes its own “secret language”, as the BBC called it.If you work in a certain industry—education, for example—you may use slang words (俚语) and acronyms (首字母缩略词) that only other people who work in that industry would understand. Or if you live in a certain city, you might use a slang word to describe a landmark in the city that only locals would understand.These so-called secret languages each have their own fascinating history. In the US, for example, the underground “ballroom” (舞厅) tribe of 1970s and 80s New York City and itslanguage were showcased in the 2018 FX show Pose.These secret words don’t always stay within their tribes, however. Words from many tribes, especially musical cultures such as rap and hip-hop, often enter people’s everyday vocabulary. For example, the phrase “to have beef” — meaning “to be in a conflict” — was made popular by US rappers. Today, it’s widely used by native English speakers all over the world.As BBC reporter Susie Dent wrote, “We are all surrounded by amazing secret languages, full of history and stories and in-jokes (内部笑话). And one thing is certain: our tribal conversations will never run out.”46．The example at the beginning of the text is mainly used to _________.A．explain the meaning of tribesB．prove that English is hard to learnC．teach readers how to communicate with London cab driversD．show how the languages of tribes are often difficult for outsiders to understand 47．What can we know about secret languages?A．They mostly came from musical cultures.B．They first started in New York City in the 1980s.C．They have failed to become popular among young people.D．Some words from them are popular in everyday conversation.48．How did the phrase “to have beef” become popular in everyday vocabulary?A．It was showcased in the 2018 FX show Pose.B．It was employed by US rappers in their works.C．It was created by a specific musical culture.D．It was featured in a recent article on the BBC Culture website.49．What is the main idea of the article?A．The history and influence of secret languages in different tribes.B．How slang and acronyms are used in different industries and cities.C．The popularity of US rappers and their contribution to everyday vocabulary.D．A showcase of the underground ball room tribe’s language in 2018 FX show Pose. 50．What is Dent’s attitude toward the future of secret languages?A．Uninterested.B．Worried.C．Confident.D．Objective.四、其他阅读题型阅读短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题。

山东省济南市历城第一中学2023-2024学年高一上学期12月月考英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读选择Hovis has been making krumkake since she learned as a young girl alongside her grandma. Every Christmas, Hovis’ family would drive from DeKalb to Rochelle, where she and her mom would join her grandma in the kitchen. The rest of the family would hang out in the living room where they could smell the sweet treats as they waited to bite into the crispy cookies.Grandma died when she was 13, but the krumkake tradition didn’t end then. This Christmas, Hovis is headed to her aunt’s house where she plans to make krumkake with her two nephews (侄子). “I’ll be able to share that with them and tell them the story of their great-grandmother,” Hovis said.“Hopefully they will have an interest in continuing that ... so the recipe and the tradition can carry on.”KrumkakeIngredients● 3/4 cup sugar ● 1 cup flour● 3 eggs ● 1 teaspoon vanilla● 1 cup heavy whipping cream ● a little of saltInstructions● Stir sugar and eggs well.● Add half the cream to the sugar and egg mixture and mix well.● Mix in the flour and stir until very smooth, then add the rest of the ingredients.

In his spare on stage beside pianist Maria Raspopova — not as a musician but as her page turner. “I’m not a trained musician, but I’ve learnt to read music so I can help Maria in her performance.”Mr Titterton is chairman of the Omega Ensemble but has been the group’s official page turner for the past four years. His job is to sit beside the pianist and turn the pages of the score so the musician doesn’t have to break the flow of sound by doing it themselves. He said he became just as nervous as those playing instruments on stage.“A lot of skills are needed for the job. You have to make sure you don’t turn two pages at once and make sure you find the repeats in the music when you have to go back to the right spot.” Mr Titterton explained.Being a page turner requires plenty of practice. Some pieces of music can go for 40 minutes and require up to 50 page turns, including back turns for repeat passages. Silent onstage communication is key, and each pianist has their own style of “nodding” to indicate a page turn which they need to practise with their page turner.But like all performances, there are moments when things go wrong. “I was turning the page to get ready for the next page, but the draft wind from the turn caused the spare pages to fall off the stand,” Mr Titterton said, “Luckily I was able to catch them and put them back.”Most page turners are piano students or up-and-coming concert pianists, although Ms Raspopova has once asked her husband to help her out on stage.“My husband is the worst page turner,” she laughed. “He’s interested in the music,feeling every note, and I have to say: ‘Turn, turn!’ Robert is the best page turner I’ve had in my entire life.”4．What should Titterton be able to do to be a page turner?A．Read music.B．Play the piano.C．Sing songs.D．Fix the instruments.5．Which of the following best describes Titterton’s job on stage?A．Boring.B．Well-paid.C．Demanding.D．Dangerous.6．What does Titterton need to practise?A．Counting the pages.B．Recognizing the “nodding”.C．Catching falling objects.D．Performing in his own style.7．Why is Ms Raspopova’s husband “the worst page turner”?A．He has very poor eyesight.B．He ignores the audience.C．He has no interest in music.D．He forgets to do his job.As climate change quickly advances, many Middle Eastern countries aremaking the change from oil-based economies to ones that attract people fromaround the world--for travelling, business, work or to live.One such example is NEOM to be built in Saudi Arabia. A key part of NEOM is “The Line”, a $725 billion futuristic city designed to house 9 millionpeople. It is a mirrored (镜子) wall-like building 200 meters wide and 500 meterstall. To be built in north-western Tabuk province, the project will spread 170 kilometres from the Red Sea across deserts, mountains and valleys.At first look, the project appears environmentally impressive. The city area isno more than 100 metres from any point in the city. A high-speed electric publictransport service makes sure every part of“The Line” is within 20 minutes away. Unluckily, as in many high-rise buildings with a large population inside, a vertical (垂直的) transportation would be needed, for it is just like a 125-floor building.The project costs also seem OK at $55,000 per person. Let’s say this isachievable in a country like Saudi Arabia and only covers infrastructure (基础设施). Even so, it remains to be seen how super-high-speed transport and mostadvanced infrastructure and services within the hugest building ever built can becost-effective.The Line is planned for green living. Energy comes from renewable sources,waste water is reused, and it owns the latest “smart city” and mixed-use buildingtechnologies. Car ownership is avoided in favour of walking, cycling and publictransport.However, the materials to be used and the building of such a big projectcould be very harmful to the environment. The plan says no one would be morethan two minutes from nature. But does this include the waiting times for a liftWithout careful design, a high dependence on vertical transportation may ruin thepleasure of walkable or bicycle-friendly areas.8．Why will “The Line” be built in Saudi ArabiaA．To take a step towards green economies.B．To attract more tourists from all over the world.C．To house the increasing population in Saudi Arabia.D．To make preparations for a project known as NEOM.9．How does the author introduce “The Line” in paragraph 2?A．By showing an example.B．By designing drawings.C．By making a comparison.D．By supplying numbers.10．What do we know about “The Line”?A．It will surely cost S725 million to build.B．It will be wholly environmentallyfriendly.C．It will require a vertical transportation.D．It will be a 125-floor building for certain. 11．What does the author think of “The Line”?A．Unclear.B．Doubtful.C．Indifferent.D．Hopeful.When put to the test, bees have proved over and over again that they’ve got a lot more to offer than making honey and now some scientists say there’s proof that they also like to play.A study recently published in Animal Behavior suggests that bumblebees, when given the chance, like to fool around with toys.Researchers from Queen Mary University of London conducted an experiment in which they set up a container that allowed bees to travel from their nest to a feeding area. But along the way, the bees could choose to pass through a separate section with several small wooden balls. Over 18 days, the scientists watched as the bees “went out of their way to roll woodenballs repeatedly, though there seems to be no apparent cause to drive them to do so.”The finding suggests that like humans, insects also interact with inanimate (无生命的) objects as a form of play. Also similar to people, younger bees seemed to be more playful than adult bees. “Previous research has shown that there are lots of animals who play just for the purpose of enjoyment, but most examples come from young mammals and birds. This study provides a strong indication that insect minds are far more advanced than we might imagine,” Lars Chittka, who led the study, said.The study’s first author, Samadi Galpayage, who is a PhD student at Queen Mary University, added that it is the evidence that insects may be able to experience feelings. “They can actually experience some kind of positive emotional states, even if basic, like other larger fluffy (覆有绒毛的) animals do. This sort of finding has led to our understanding of insects and will, hopefully, encourage us to respect and protect life on earth ever more,” she said in the statement.12．What is paragraph 2 mainly about?A．The conclusion of the research.B．The assumption about the bees.C．The description of the experiment.D．The reasons for conducting the experiment.13．What does the underlined word “apparent” in paragraph 2 mean?A．Clear.B．Preventable.C．Horrible.D．Different. 14．What can we learn from the study?A．Birds like to fool around with toys.B．Toys are more enjoyable to adult bees.C．Humans seldom interact with lifeless objects for fun.D．Insect minds are better developed than we thought.15．Which statement will Samadi Galpayage agree to?A．Insects experience the same emotions as humans do.B．Fluffy animals fail to show positive emotional states.C．More work is needed to protect endangered life on earth.D．The finding improves our understanding of living things.During my visit to Xi’an, 1 met with a strange instrument. It has a loud and high-pitched(声调高的) sound, and is often used in traditional Chinese music ensembles (乐团),called the suona. To find more information, I visited some Chinese online lesson websites.Actually, the suona is a loud Chinese instrument, It’s loud and high-pitched sound is perfect for outdoor performances. 17 It is now widely used at traditional festival events, weddings and funerals (葬礼) in the countryside of North China.18 It was developed from Central Asian instruments such as the “surnay” or “zurna”, from which its Chinese name comes. A musician playing an instrument very similar to a suona is shown in a drawing at a historic place on the Silk Road in what is now the western Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, dating back to the third to fifth century CE.The suona only has eight holes, and breath and fingers (手指) are all a performer depends on lo control the pitch and tone (音质). 19 The instrument looks simple, but it can vividly imitate (生动地模仿) the voice or singing of a human being or even the sounds of Chinese opera. 20 The eight-hale instrument has been called the “eight-eyed monkey” because like a monkey it is difficult to control.A．Actually, it is difficult to master the suona.B．The suona is beyond a musical instrumentC．The sound of the suona is also endangered.D．It was used for festivals and military (军事的) purposes.E．The suona was firstly introduced to China from Central Asia.F．People use a metal mouthpiece to make an even louder sound.G．I didn’t know the name of the instrument, so l asked my Chinese friend.二、完形填空with figuring out how to hire people with disabilities and help them succeed inside the organization.Many applied for the position.

Halfway home, I noticed my 7-year-old son playing with a plastic noisemaker. Long story short: He had stolen the toy. I kept my cool --- even when he said, "but it was only $1.50, Mom!" ---and explained why it was unacceptable to take things we didn't buy.A few hours later, I marched my son back to the store with two dollars from his piggy bank. He walked embarrassedly to the counter and told the clerk that he had taken something without payingfor it, that he was sorry to break it and that he would pay for it now.I know exactly how terrible he was feeling. Returning to the scene of the crime is the same shame-causing punishment I received when I was five and stole something from a store. 1 remember my dad sending me back to return the item. It remains one of my clearest childhood memories. After that day, I never stole again. My dad taught me such an important lesson 30 years ago and I saw an opportunity to do the same for my son. But now I wonder if it was the right thing to do."Returning to the store is absolutely the right thing to do," Laura Markham, Ph.D., a child psychologist and author of Peaceful Parent, Happy Kids, says. "Many children steal -- they' re not born knowing the rules so it' s our job to teach them."And stay calm when you set them. "If you overreact or yell, you might create a fascination with the behavior and a willful child will be more likely to fight against you," she says. Having a child physically return the stolen item helps him or her grasp the situation -- and the consequence.But don't talk about it for too long. "lf you continuously bring up the incident, the child will believe they' re a thief and that they' re bad," she says.Only time will tell if this experience will have the same powerful effect on my son as it had on me, but at the same time I can rest if I haven' t dealt with the situation badly.50.

It seemed that the war with the North would never e to an end. Sam’s father had left as soon as possible, swearing that he’d fight for Virginia, for their land, for their new government, for God, for the South.At last, Samantha reached the house that she and John owned. It was a cold, rainy night, and she was glad to be home. She stepped into the sitting room. John rested in an armchair, reading a book. He glanced at her, put the book down, and stood, reaching his arms out for her. They kissed briefly. He put a hand to her now slightly round belly and asked, “What did the doctor say?”“He said the baby was fine and that I seemed healthy. Do you have any news?”“Surprisingly, yes.” John hesitated for a moment, as if deciding how he would phrase what he was about to say, and then unwillingly continued, “I’ve been demanded to join the army.”Sam screamed, “What?” She was near tears. “But-but we’re just starting out.” Her voice shook. “I thought that after two years of begging my mother to let the two of us get married that our lifewould finally be happy. Isn’t there any way you can get out of this?”John answered, “I’m afraid not.”“Please. Please, John, if you love me, please get out of this. Break a leg, fake an illness, and do something.” She began to sob. John forted her, resting her head on his shoulder.“Sam.”“What?”“Name the child after me; name it John or Joanna. I’ll e back as soon as I can. I promise.”Sam smiled into his collar bone, knowing that John lived by his word. He never broke a promise. She pressed her hand to her belly, and, unknown to her, the baby was a girl.And unknown to both of them, the promise that John had just made would be the only promise he would ever break.54.
