Basketball, baseball and soccer are classic sports that people will always enjoy. And yet we keep changing popular games like these in new ways to keep them fresh.Underwater hockeyThis game is played in swimming pools with two teams of six players. Each player wears flippers (蛙鞋) and uses a stick to hit a puck (圆盘). Each team earns points by hitting the puck into its underwater goal. Other team members must be ready to take the puck when a team member goes up for air. That makes underwater hockey a true team sport.CycleballAnother fun game to watch, cycleball is like indoor soccer on wheels but with only two male players for each team. Each player rides a special bike designed for the game. Like soccer, a team must put the ball in a goal. However, there is a catch. The ball can only be touched with the bikes’ wheels or the players’ heads. This game requires a lot of practice to learn the skills needed.ChessboxingA sport can also be revised by mixing it with another game. In chessboxing, two players compete with each other on the chess board and in the ring. First, their minds are tested in a game of chess. Then they use their strength in a round of boxing. They repeat this for 11 rounds. The winner beats the loser in chess, knocks him out while boxing or gets more boxing points.BossaballThis exciting sport is part volleyball and part soccer. But unlike both of those sports, players jump up and down throughout the game. That’s because it’s played on an inflatable (可充气的) volleyball court with a trampoline on either side of the net. One player bounce on the trampoline while up to four others stand around it. A team can touch the ball six times before sending it back across the net. Each player may touch the ball once with arms or twice with other body parts.Though these sports may not be common, give them a look or even a try.1. What can we learn about Cycleball according to the text?A．Cycleball has nothing in common with soccer.B．Male or female players cooperate with each other to earn scores.C．The players are not allowed to touch the ball with their hands or feet.D．Cycleball is designed for disabled players as they have to ride special bikes.2. According to the text, at most how many players in all can take part in a Bossaball match?A．10. B．8. C．6. D．4.3. Which of the four sports is NOT a team game?A．Underwater hockey. B．Cycleball.C．Chessboxing. D．Bossaball.27. One morning, my four-year-old daughter and I were getting ready to leave the house when she suddenly yelled “Idiot!” right at me. As I processed the word, I noticed she was upset. Tears streamed down her face as she half whispered and half yelled “you are an IDIOT Mama.” Total silence followed as we looked at each other. We were staring at each other for so long, and I nearly forgot to breathe out, and in again. Idiot. How could my daughter call me an idiot?There are many behaviors that really push pa rents’ buttons. Disrespectful, rude words tend to top the list. The wrong response to such rude remarks is often a serious warning. But I didn’t offer any serious remarks.I realized that my daughter’s intention wasn’t to disrespect me. She was expressing the disconnection. And punishment doesn’t solve disconnection. It creates more of it. Her choice of word said it all. She was annoyed. She sensed the stress. I needed to hear her. I was being careless. I was the one being rude to her.So, why punish our children when they need guidance? We must know the words we use matter, and become our children’s words too. The words include those we use to handle emotional overload. Idiot is a word I regretfully must admit to using when I’m extremely annoyed. Not at m y children, but yes, they have heard me say it. So, instead of punishing my daughter for misbehavior, I chose to focus on her real message: Idiot means that “Mom, you are stressing me out!”.No blame. No punishment for honest feelings. No criticizing her choice of words. Just focus on our relationship. I admitted my ignoring her, and we hugged and kissed each other. I walked into her play school with interest and was ready to see all her current projects.Don’t be afraid to focus on your relationship, to show kindness, and to model forgiveness. Don’t be afraid to look beyond misbehavior, find the true message and trust the power of connection.1. After hearing her daughter’s words, the author ________.A．lost her temper B．gave her a warningC．couldn’t bel ieve it D．had a talk with her2. What does the underlined phrase push parents’ buttons in Paragraph 2 mean?A．Cheer parents up. B．Make parents annoyed.C．Follow parents’ advice.D．Distract parents’ attention.3. From the text we can conclude that the mother is ________.A．calm and considerate B．brave and tolerantC．sensitive but overprotective D．intelligent but bad-tempered4. What’s the purpose of this text?A．To settle conflicts between parents and children.B．To explain why children disrespect their parents.C．To encourage readers to express their true feelings.D．To suggest a positive response to children’s misbehavior.28. Fruit farmers in Okayama, Japan, have managed to make peeling (剥皮) a banana optional by developing a special variety wit h eatable skin. The peel of their ‘‘Mongee bananas” isn’t tastier, but it’s much thinner and far less bitter than that of regular bananas, making it 100% eatable.Scientists at D&T Farm in the country’s Okayama Prefecture released the social media-ready news following months of experimenting with a freezing-and-thawing (解冻) method, which keeps the banana tree at extremely cold temperatures followed by a dramatic heat increase. The result is soft and thin skin that hasn’t fully developed. They froze young b anana trees to -60 degrees Celsius, planting them again as they began to thaw. This apparently activated an ancient part of their DNA, which not only allows the plant to grow in Japan’s cool climate, but also accelerates its development. While tropical varieties of bananas require two years to grow large enough for consumption, the Mongee banana needs just four months.The first batch (一批) of Mongee bananas hit department store shelves in November of last year, but getting your hand on one of these incredible fruits remains a huge challenge. D&T Farm only produces 10 bananas per week, and they only deliver them to the Fruit Corner of Tenmanya Okayama, a local department store. But even if you happen to find one available, you’d probably be a bit put off by the price–648 yen ($5.70) per fruit.Banana peel is an excellent ingredient that can contain vitamin B6 and magnesium related to the production of serotonin (血清素). At the same time, it’s rich in substances called “tryptophan” (色氨酸), a raw material of serotonin which stabilizes the mind and has a positive effect on sleep. Research results that ripe fruit peels have a good effect on treating certain discases have also been published.John Guterman, a botanist, says, “And what about shipping? For most of the fruit’s history, the peel has provided protection, allowing it to travel long distances. A softer, more bruise-prone (容易擦伤的) banana would be a step back from hardy banana varieties that travel thousands of miles.” In this sense, the day we all stop peeling bananas and instead bite straight through their skin may still be a long way away.1. Compared with regular bananas, Mongee bananas ________.A．are far easier to peelB．have much sweeter fleshC．are much more thin-skinnedD．have a longer growth period2. Why is it hard to buy a Mongee banana now?A．It isn’t affordable at all.B．It isn’t in mass production.C．It is made for certain people.D．It hasn’t come into the market.3. What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about?A．The varied flavors of banana peel.B．How to make banana peel eatable.C．How to make banana peel sweeter.D．The medical value of banana peel.4. What does John think of the Mongee banana?A．It won’t be widely spread soon for some reasons.B．It should not be widely grown because of climate.C．It has advantage over regular bananas on transportation.D．It proves fruits with skin will be produced on large scales.29. “I’ll be there in a few minutes. I’m playing a game with a friend, a guy named Scuzzball,” my 15-year-old son shouted from his room. “Oh, what is Scuzzball’s real name?” I asked. “I have no idea.” He said. “Where is he from?” I continued. He responded, “I think somewhere in Canada. Oh, wait, it doesn’t even matter because Scuzzball just left the game and he has been replaced with a robot.”“Your friend is replaced by artificial intelligence?” “It doesn’t matter, Dad. It happens all the time! The game continues.” My son doesn’t mind playing with a person or a robot, which is typical of gamers these days. I wonder whether the face-to-face experience of friendship that I grew up with will be lost by our children.Aristotle, a great thinker and educator, has pointed out that shallow friendship is easily formed but also easily abandoned because such bonds are fragile. Deep friendship, by contrast, is when you care for your friend for his sake, not for any benefit you can get. This is selfless friendship. You can haveonly a couple of these friends because they require lots of time and effort. You must make sacrifices for each other.Presence in friendship requires “being with” and “doing for”. Perhaps the most defining feature of deep friend ship is “doing for”, as my friend has my back in trouble or brings me soup when I’m sick. Only strong bonds have the power to motivate real sacrifices. But it is unclear why online “friends” would bother to do the hard work of friendship. When I asked my students whether they had people in their lives who would bring them soup when they were sick, they laughed at my Stone Age question and said they’d just order soup online themselves.Digital life fills and absorbs waking life time so that people do not join in example case of friendship, like sports, collective arts, free range childhoods, etc. In this way, digital life produces false friendships.1. How does the author lead in the topic of the text?A．By quoting famous mottoes.B．By introducing an online game.C．By showing robots’ irreplaceable role.D．By presenting a parent-child conversation.2. What does the author mainly explain in Paragraph 3?A．Impact of selfish friendship.B．The meaning of deep friendship.C．Selfless sacrifices in friendship.D．The formation of shallow friendship.3. What can we infer from Paragraph 4?A．Ordering food online for friends is an example of “being with”.B．The students thought highly of the teacher’s question.C．Virtual friends won’t make real sacrifices.D．Robots will have our back in trouble.4. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text?A．The Benefits of Digital LifeB．Digitalized FriendshipC．Face-to-face CommunicationD．The Sacrifices of Online Friends30. For making contact and communicating with a person, effective eye contact is essential to our everyday interaction with people, and also to those who want to be effective communicators in public places. 1 .Generally in Western societies and many other cultures, eye contact with a person is expected to be regular but not overly persistent. 2 , causing the person who’s the object of a person’s stare to feel overly studied and uncomfortable.3 . The New Zealand Medical Journal reported that one reason so many young children fall victim to attacks by pet dogs is their overly-lasting eye contact with pets, which causes them to feel threatened and defensive.Overly lasting eye contact is also a sign of a person’s over-awareness of the messages they are giving. In the case of people who try to lie to someone, they may distort (扭曲) their eye contact so that they’re not avoiding it. 4 . But on the contrary, evasive (逃避的) eye contact is a sign of discomfort. Why do we avoid looking at a person? It may be because we feel ashamed to be looking at them if we’re being dishonest of trying to take them in. Evasive eye contact may also a sign of dishonesty.However, Scotland’s University of Stirling found that, in a question-and-answer study among children, those who maintained eye contact were less likely to come up with the correct answer to a question than those who looked away to consider their response. 5 , when this energy could be spent on deep thinking.31. Alia Baker is a librarian in Iraq. Her library used to be a meeting place for all who loved books and liked to share knowledge. They _______ various matters all over the world. When the war was near, Alia was_________that the fires of war would destroy the books, which are more ________ to her than mountain of gold.

She has a serious letter-writing habit and keeps in contact with her favorite people. If you’ve been the receiver of her hand-decorated letters and envelopes, then I know they really make your day.A letter from Anna is likely to include some art, a joke and enough questions to guarantee a response. But when she wrote a letter to Eason, she put something new in it. “You may know me as the person living here that writes lots of letters. You’re very important to me, helping me stay in touch with friends. I cheer people up with my letters, and you do that too!” Anna wrote.The next day, a package arrived with two letters. One was from Eason and the other from his superior, Sara, saying she had shared Anna’s letter in the internal newsletter (内部通讯) of the USPS and believed many postal folks wanted to thank Anna. Anna was so pleased with the letter that it perturbed me much, for the possible result of no reply from other mail carriers would come as a blow to her.Surprisingly, today, we saw Eason come with two boxes of letters from around the country. These letters were so human, filled with stories about family, pets and a sense of kindness. But there was something more in them. People felt seen — some for the first timein a long time. “I work alone in a small rural post office...” “Not many people think about how hard we work...” Anna wrote back seriously.I’m sharing this not because I’m a proud dad, but because it’s relatively easy, if we take the time to give others links they need to be good. We all want to be seen, known and loved. Send a letter. Give a call. Take a step of bravery, like Anna.4．Why did Anna write Eason a letter?A．To make friends with him.B．To cheer him up.C．To express her appreciation.D．To share her daily life.5．What does the underlined word “perturbed” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A．Touched.B．Concerned.C．Moved.D．Astonished. 6．Which of the following words can best describe Anna?A．Caring and grateful.B．Energetic and ambitious. C．Courageous and generous.D．Capable and humorous.7．What’s the main idea of the passage?A．People should face challenges with bravery.B．People should care more about mail carriers.C．People should connect with others actively.D．People should show kindness to their parents.To write his book about world diet, nutritionist Harley Paster traveled to the healthiest countries around the world to learn more about what made their meals special.He noted that Japanese people ate a wonderful variety of seaweeds, and that Chinese people tried to include at least five different colors in every meal. Paster also came away with some valuable observations about how different the North American way of life was, compared with many other countries.For starters, Americans eat much bigger portions than people in other countries. “We don’t prioritize (优先) eating seasonally or locally, and we also add lots of salt, sugar and thickening agents to our foods,” explained Paster. Contrast that to the healthy Mediterranean, Nordic and Okinawan diets listed in Paster’s book. They all seem to stick to the ethos (特质) of regional, seasonal produce.For example, a traditional Mediterranean diet includes fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts and olive oil as the main components of nutritional intake. Fish, chicken and red wine make appropriate appearances, while red meat, salt and sugar are used much less often. The benefits of a traditional Mediterranean diet have been studied since the 1970s, and researchers have found that living that olive oil life can help people lose weight, lower their heart disease risk and reverse diabetes (糖尿病). Most other healthy eating cultures also make meals an event—say, multiple courses around the family table, or a glass or two of red wine at a long lunch— rather than fast wolfing down handfuls of cereal above the kitchen sink and calling it dinner.Each of the healthy eating cultures has its own unique feature. But Paster did take note of one unifying factor in all of the healthy societies he observed. “The only common feature in most of these healthy countries is that they all walk more than the average American,” said Paster. “So really, regardless of what you’re eating, if someone’s walking four miles morethan you each day, they’re going to be a lot thinner and live a lot longer than you.”8．What characterizes Japanese and Chinese foods?A．Naturalness.B．Flavor.C．Color.D．Variety. 9．What features in Mediterranean, Nordic and Okinawan diets?A．Fruits and vegetables.B．Seasonal local produce.C．Olive oil and red wine.D．Unprocessed ingredients.10．What do people in most healthy eating cultures have in common?A．They get the whole family to eat at a table.B．They eat their meals regularly as scheduled.C．They attach great importance to their meals.D．They consume plenty of cereal for breakfast.11．Compared with the average American, people in healthy societies ________.A．walk at least 4 miles a day B．consume a lot more organic food C．pay more attention to body shape D．do considerably more walkingBlack rhinos (犀牛) have terrible eyesight. Even so, these large African animals can fight against hungry lions and hyenas. With big sword-like horns, their large andthick-skinned body plan has proved to be good enough to survive in a place full of huge predators (捕食性动物). But those protective features are no match for humans with guns.Today, the species is seriously endangered largely due to illegal hunting. But the rhinos may have an unlikely partner against hunters: the red-billed oxpecker (牛椋鸟). The chatty, sociable birds often hang out on the backs of rhinos, feasting on the ticks (虱子) on their bodies.“And actually, research has shown that the tick is the favorite diet of an oxpecker. And if they feed on ticks, that is a good thing,” said Plotz, a behavioral ecologist. He suspected that the rhinos put up with them because the oxpeckers make loud alarm calls whenever they see humans approach-giving the rhinos an early warning to flee.To test whether the oxpeckers do, in fact, act as noisy lookouts, Plotz and his team placed radio transmitters (发送器) in the rhinos horns. The researchers found that rhinos without oxpeckers detected an approaching human only 23 percent of the time, at an average distance of 27 meters. But when oxpeckers were present, the birds warned the rhinos 100 percent of the time. And they sensed the human 61 meters away on average. And the moreoxpeckers on the scene, the greater the detection distance— which means the earlier the warning.It makes sense because the more eyes you have on your back, looking out for you, the more chance that you can pick up anything coming. What we think is going on, fundamentally, is that the rhino is listening to the alarm call. There can be no doubt of that. Listening to oxpecker alarm calls brings a really strong anti-human benefit.Plotz thinks the oxpeckers may have gradually changed and developed their behavior because it protects their convenient food source. And the more lookouts, the better in what seems like a win-win for both species: the birds thrive and the rhinos survive.12．What can we learn about black rhinos?A．They have terrible survival skills.B．They are almost dying out.C．They mainly feast on ticks.D．Their biggest threat is lions. 13．Why can black rhinos stand oxpeckers?A．They can sense danger with the help of the birds.B．They can do nothing about the tiresome birds.C．The birds are main food for black rhinos.D．The birds help rid rhinos of the ticks on their bodies.14．How does the author show oxpeckers’ anti-human benefit?A．By giving an example.B．By telling a story.C．By listing some data.D．By asking a question.15．What’s the text mainly about?A．The reason for black rhinos’ extinction.B．Measures possible to protect black rhinos.C．Some facts related to red-billed oxpeckers.D．A win-win for black rhinos and oxpeckers.二、七选五An escape game, is a game in which a team of players discover clues, solve puzzles, and accomplish tasks in one or more rooms in order to accomplish a specific goal in a limited amount of time. The goal is often to escape from the site of the game. ____16____Keep it simpleFor most escape games, even the very challenging ones with very high difficulty ratings, the puzzles and clues are surprisingly simple. They are just cleverly hidden and worded to make them appear difficult to solve. Don’t make things difficult by looking for complex solutions. ____17________18____Sometimes, the escape game creators add a puzzle to confuse players, but this hardly happens. As usual, every puzzle is important and each clue has the potential for revealing the key. Carefully analyze every puzzle you come across. Don’t ignore any, as it may be central to achieving your goal of breaking out. If worse comes to worst, ask for a clue from the game master.Think like a 4th graderEscape games can get really challenging. To break out, you need to totally bury yourself in the game. Think outside the box and motivate all your creative juices. Remember when you were a kid and you would think up all these imaginative stories and situations.____19____. Think like a 4th grader and you’ll find the game more enjoyable and the puzzles easier to solve.Experiment with useIs the honey bucket just a metal thing filled with human waste or is there a clue under it? ____20____. We get so stuck on how things are normally used that our minds refuse to think of alternative ways of using them. And just to ease your fears, no escape game will put you in a room with a bucket full of human waste. Like I mentioned earlier, use your imagination and think outside the box.A．Don’t ignore escape game puzzles.B．You need to imagine you to be a 10-year-old child.C．You’d better play the game with a child.D．More often than not, the answer is right there staring you in the face.E．There are four tips to play escape games.F．Don’t keep the excitement levels high.G．Or maybe, it can be turned upside down to use as a simple ladder.三、完形填空My 85-year-old mother came to live with me a year ago last November.

While humanity is still far from having robot servants at home,robots are commonly used on production lines in factories,and even for specific movements during operation.Recently,one Estonian company decided to repurpose its technology for a reason that's beneficial for the Earth.Robot manufacturer Milrem,which previously produced autonomous tanks,partnered with the University of Tartu to develop robot foresters that can plant and care for trees.The decision to create autonomous foresters came after Milrem realized that its technology,which had been developed for military(军事的)use,could be useful in other areas.“We started looking into what else we could do with these unmanned robots,Mart Noorma,director at Milrem,told Research Estonia.“Together with our partners at universities and public offices,we realized that we could be helpful in automating many industries.”The robots,which resemble mini tanks,operate in pairs.One robot works as a planter, putting down as many as380seedlings covering2.5acres in as little as six hours.During the planting stage,the robot records the exact location of each young tree.The other robot follows its path,cutting vegetation and cutting brush,so that the newly planted trees can thrive.To navigate(导航)their surroundings,the robots use LiDAR and GPS systems.LiDAR uses laser technology to create a three-dimensional geometric map of the robots,environment. Interesting Engineering reported that the robots also use high resolution camera systems tofill in the gaps around obstacles(障碍)and ensure the map's accuracy.The efficiency and speed of these tree-planting robots give them the high potential to help reverse(逆转)deforestation,a critical issue affecting the planet.8．Why were autonomous tanks made initially?A．To plant more trees.B．To help in medicine.C．To create a big brand.D．To improve military strength. 9．How many young trees can a robot plant in an hour?A．About50.B．About63.C．About190.D．About380. 10．What can we infer from the last two paragraphs?A．LiDAR makes it easier to identify the trees.B．The robots will improve the environment around the plants.C．Map's accuracy results from high resolution camera systems.D．The tree planting robots are bound to be widely used soon.11．What's the author's attitude to robot foresters?A．Optimistic.B．Doubtful.C．Unclear.D．Disapproving.Bee protection is a big issue these days in America,with people planting native pollinator gardens,setting up bee houses,and taking part in scientific activities to monitor local bee populations.And this is for good reason—in North America,a quarter of native bee species are at risk of extinction.Bees pollinate35percent of our global food supply and many of the wild plants our ecosystems depend on.No Mow May,a movement that began in the UK,is now rapidly spreading throughout the US.Its popularity lies in its being simple:Just give bees a help during the crucial springtime by removing a chore from your list and letting your lawn grow for the month of二、七选五三、完形填空35．A．research B．test C．assignment D．project五、根据首字母填写单词46．The storm got worse and worse.I had to a________the car and continue on foot.(根据首字母单词拼写)六、根据汉语意思填写单词47．Upon arriving at the bank,they rushed the boy to the hospital for a________(深入的，细致的)examination.(根据汉语提示单词拼写)七、根据首字母填写单词48．I felt g________about not visiting my parents often.(根据首字母单词拼写)49．U________,all their belongings were destroyed by the big fire.(根据首字母单词拼写) 50．We expressed our heartfelt s________to the victims of the war.(根据首字母单词拼写) 51．He failed to get the key point and his mind went b________all of a sudden.(根据首字母单词拼写)八、根据汉语意思填写单词52．The man was found________(无辜的，清白的)of any crime at last.(根据汉语提示单词拼写)53．The worker was so irresponsible that I decided to________(解雇)him.(根据汉语提示单词拼写)54．I am sorry but I had to cancel the________(约定，约会)with you to the cinema．(根据汉语提示单词拼写)55．It is time that we should________(催促，力劝)an immediate end to illegal hunting．(根据汉语提示单词拼写)九、读后续写56．阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

2022-2023学年湖北省部分普通高中联盟高二下学期期中联考英语试题1. Bookstores are a traveler’s best friend: they provide convenient shelter in bad weather, and they often host readings and other cultural events.

The interconnecting rooms withfloor-to-ceiling books on every wall are light and airy in summer, yet warm and comfortable in winter.1. What can you do in Atlantis Books?A．Attend a festival. B．Learn photography.C．Enjoy rare books. D．Hold dance parties.2. Which of the following bookstores has the longest history?A．Adrian Harrington. B．Atlantis Books.C．Bart’s Books.D．10Corso Como.3. How is The Bookworm different from the other bookstores?A．It is used as a library. B．It hosts all sorts of activities.C．It focuses on photography. D．It has branches in different cities.2. Cimabue, the greatest painter of a Middle Ages in Italy, was surprised one day after his lunch break to discover that a fly had seated itself under the nose of a character that he had been working on. He swatted (重拍) at the fly, but it did not move. He reached out to touch the insect, only to find it was only wet paint. Turning around, he saw that his apprentice (学徒), Giotto, was laughing. Giotto had painted the fly when Cimabue was away, and it looked so real that Cimabue had been completely fooled.Giotto di Bondone was born into a poor family in a village. Legend has it that one day, when Cimabue was wandering around the countryside, he spotted a young shepherd boy drawing pictures of his sheep, which were so vivid that Cimabue immediately asked him to come to Florence and learn how to paint. That was how Giotto’s story began in Florence, where the young student flourished under Cimabue’s instruction and soon surpassed his master in skill.At th at time, people in paintings didn’t look real, and the symbolism of art was difficult for viewers to connect with it. Innovation (创新) was not stressed, so art had remained the same for hundreds of years.However, Giotto thought art should be something more connected with people in a more realistic way. His masterpieces included the forty major frescoes (壁画) for the Arena Chapel. Adopting many techniques that were uncommon then, he painted people the way he saw them, instead of the overly tall and boxy people that other artists painted. He created three-dimensional space by using perspective, something that had not been done since Roman times.In addition to painting, Giotto wrote poetry and drew architectural plans. When Giotto was in his sixties, he painted the Ognissanti Madonna, another famous work of art. He continued working until the age of seventy. The ideas Giotto brought to painting throughout his life revolutionized the art world and made him one of the greatest painters ever.1. What does the anecdote in paragraph 1 tell us about Giotto?A．His humor. B．His talent. C．His courage. D．Hisdetermination.2. How did Cimabue feel about Giotto’s painting when they first met?A．Impressed. B．Hesitant. C．Doubtful. D．Amused.3. What made Giotto’s works distinguished at that time?A．Vivid colors. B．Classic skills.C．Original composition. D．Lifelike quality.4. Which of the following best summarizes Giotto’s story?A．Great minds think alike.B．Innovation is the vitality of art.C．Constant dripping wears away a stone.D．A slow sparrow should make an early start.3. Product placement is a form of advertising in which a company pays a director to place its product on the set of a movie or TV show. It isn’t new. The oldest examples date all the way b ack to the invention of motion pictures, when the Lever Brothers’ Sunlight Soap appeared in the Lumiere films in 1896. But as streaming has become more popular, product placements have become an even more attractive option for advertisers now.When watching web videos, most consumers either skip or ignore the advertisements that run before the video starts. So as advertisers struggle to reach consumers, they are increasingly turning to product placement, spending advertising budgets to get their advertisements into media content in ways that can’t be skipped or ignored. Studies have shown they increase viewers’ awareness of products and their positive attitudes toward them.Not all product placements are effective, though. Those that seem to influence viewers the most are those that strike the careful balance between being noticeable and not too boring. Viewers tend to be turned off if the product placement is too noticable, as when a character in the show holds the product and talks about it.Viewers are most influenced by product placements in which the product or brand name is spoken by one of the characters but not shown. Also viewers may be more attracted to product placements that appear earlier in a show or movie. Because we become more engaged in the plot and characters of a show or movie as it progresses. If a placement appears at the climax — the moment when our attention is fixed on what will happen next —we’re either less likely to notice the placement or more likely to be annoyed if we do notice it.With increasing online viewers and better designed product placement, perhaps advertisers will consider product placement their first choice and decrease their spending on traditional advertising, like TV and print ads.1. What can we know about product placement?A．It is popular nowadays. B．It makes streaming attractive.C．It first appeared in TV shows. D．It aims to make videos interesting.2. What does the underlined word “ they ” in paragraph 2 refer to?A．Advertisments. B．Videos. C．Advertisers. D．Consumers.3. Which is the most effective product placement in a movie?A．The product is shown before the movie is on.B．The product appears in a conversation at the climax.C．The product is in the character’s hand at the beginning.D．The product is mentioned not long after the movie is on.4. What can be a suitable title for the text?A．Product placement: a future trend for advertisingB．Product placement: a new driving force behind moviesC．Product placement: a mirror of the advertisement historyD．Product placement: a perfect companion to online videos4. When you’re working your way through one of life’s storms, it is human nature to focus on getting back to normal, to “bounce back” as quickly as possible to a place where things are calm, familiar and comfortable.However, actually it is unrealistic to think we can ever truly return emotionally and intelligently to where we were before the storm because every experience changes us in some way. For example, when we experience a major health scare, possibly involving some hospital time, we can never go back to being the person we were before the event even if we fully recover because we have experienced firsthand the fragility(脆弱) of life, not to mention coming face to face with death. So, now that we can never return, what should we do?Consider this …how is it that two people can be faced with the same hardship and while one becomes hopeless and feels anger and upset, the other is able to overcome their circumstances and grow stronger than ever as a result of the experience?At one extreme, we may choose to accept the role of unlucky victim, or become trapped in the “Why is it always me!” negative and frustrating(令人沮丧的) situations. Either way is the result of a fixed mindset(思维模式) that is resistant to growth and change. If this is your approach to life, you will be far less likely to be active in effectively managing change and recovering from bad situations.But there is another choice. If you are honest enough, you may consider what was once “normal” for you was just the main cause of your storm. You can choose to hug change and uncertainty and learn to grow forward through all of your experiences. Of course, this means doing the work to develop the skills and habits that will enable you to handl e life’s occasional storms.In conclusion, it is up to each of us to choose the meaning we apply to our situations at all times. Different choices will lead to different lives. Of course you can grow forward if you are determined to choose live a positive life regardless of whatever hardships you are facing.1. What does the author try to convey with the example in the second paragraph?A．We will understand life much better after an escape from death.B．It usually takes a long time to recover from a health problem.C．It’s unlikely to return to where we were after certain events.D．We can recover from an emotional problem much more easily.2. When faced with hardships, some people choose to be a victim because of ________.A．their terrible experiences B．their negative thoughtsC．their poor health D．their bad luck3. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?A．To advise us to manage bad emotions.B．To persuade us to get back to normal.C．To offer us useful skills to work with.D．To encourage us to overcome hardships.4. If you’re determined to grow forward you have to ________.A．experience life’s fragility B．welcome uncertainty and changeC．develop new skills and habits D．overcome the fear of death5. Green exercise is a term used to describe any type of physical exercise that takes place in a natural environment rather than in a health club or gym. 1 . Instead, it relies on the use of natural means of taking part in activities that improve strength and endurance with as little reliance on equipment as possible.2 . For example, some consider a truly natural exercise experience requires that the individual wear clothing only made from natural fibers. Others consider barefoot running or walking with a big arena to be more desirable than running or walking with shoes.A slightly different approach to green exercise puts more stress on the fresh air, sunshine and involvement with the natural world, rather than the equipment or clothing used during the exercise.3 . Similarly, climbing a mountain using standard equipment and protective clothing would also be considered a green exercise.Many consider green exercise helps to reconnect human beings with the natural world. The interaction with nature helps to lower people's blood pressure, refresh their mind, and actually improve their self-esteem. 4 .Not everyone believes that the green exercise is more beneficial than working out in a health club or gym. 5 . Meanwhile, the use of fitness devices may result in more challenging workouts which help strengthen the heart and lungs in ways that more simplistic exercise in a natural setting would be difficult to manage.6. Melbourne Girls’ College is getting rid of all dustbins and asking students to take their rubbish home to encourage them to move towards zero waste.Starting next Monday, the college will gradually ____________ all the rubbish bins in five weeks in classrooms and the yard, ____________ 1,400 students and 140 staff to find their own home for chip packets and juice boxes.

Sivan, that is exactly what it is.Every day for 30 years, this humble postman has been delivering post to some of the most remote villages in Coonoor which are inaccessible by road. Carrying the mail, he walks along the Nilgiri Mountain Railway track, walking through thick forests, crossing slippery streams and walking on railway bridges. Having travelled through the difficult path for 30 years, Mr. Sivan has grown fond of the wild animals he encounters on his daily walks, going so far as to say that they’ve all become his friends. But even his friends have occasionally caused him some trouble, with an elephant once having run after him. He was saved by a truck driver who spotted him and honked at the elephant. The animals recognize him now, though.As the years rolled by, emails started replacing letter writing. And as more and more people moved from the Nilgiri hills to the plains-the towns of Mettupalayam and Coimbatore, Sivan’s bag became lighter and lighter every day. Many weeks he ended up carrying just 3-4 letter to each village.One day Sivan noticed that a man to whom he was supposed to deliver his pension had moved to Coimbatore. The man had fallen very sick and was hospitalized. Sivan tracked down the hospital, travelled 80 kms by bus and later car, and delivered the pension. The kind postman even paid for the whole trip himself!Not all heroes wear a cape(披风);some have white hair and carry a simple bag full of letters. Not all heroes write cool stories on Instagram; some just sit outside a door and read out a son’s letter to his mother.1. Which of the following best describes Sivan’s daily delivery journey?A．Awkward.B．Comfortable.C．Adventurous.D．Uneventful.2. What do the underlined words “his friends” in paragraph 2 refer to?A．Postmen.B．Truck drivers.C．Wild animals.D．Villagers in Coonoor.3. Why did Sivan travel to Coimbatore?A．To send a pension check.B．To enjoy a trip to the plains.C．To get hospital treatment.D．To draw his pension.4. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A．Letters or emailsB．The world’s busiest postmanC．The postal service in CoonoorD．Capeless hero with a bag3. If humans pump enough carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere, the stratocumulus clouds(层积云 ) could disappear, and the earth's temperature could climb sharply to heights not predicted in current climate models. It would burn the planet. That's the conclusion of a paper published in the journal Nature Geoscience and described in detail by Natalie Wolchover for Quanta Magazine.As Wolchover explained, clouds have long been one of the great uncertainties of climate models. Computer models that easily capture the complexity and detail of most climate systems just aren't powerful enough to predict worldwide changes in cloud behavior. But clouds are important. They reflect sunlight away from the earth's surface. And stratocumulus clouds are those white blankets you might have seen as you looked out the window of arm airplane, rolling out below you and hiding the ground Researchers suspect that certain sudden, past jumps in temperature may have been caused by changes to clouds like these.For the new research, scientists modeled just a small patch of sky using a supercomputer. They found that if carbon dioxide levels reach about 1, 200 parts per million(ppm) in the atmosphere, stratocumulus clouds break up. That's a very high carbon dioxide concentration. Right now, levels have climbed past 410 ppm--a dangerous change from 280 ppm before the Industrial Revolution. But humans put more and more CO2 into the atmosphere every year. If current trends continue, the earth could reach 1, 200 ppm within 100 to 150 years. This could happen if our society doesn't follow through on any of its commitments to reduce emissions(排放), Wolchover reported. And even if it does, the result would be another 8 degrees Celsius of heat added to the global average, on top of the dangerous changes already underway due to greenhouse gases.That’s an enormous change, and it goes beyond predictions of worl dwide ice melt and catastrophic sea level rise. And, once the stratocumulus clouds are gone, Wolchover reported, they likely wouldn't reappear until atmospheric carbon dioxide levels dropped below where they are currently. There's still some uncertainty in the data. The 1, 200 ppm figure could change as scientists look into the issue further.1. What can we learn from paragraph 2?A．Most climate systems are not complex.B．Cloud behavior is uncertain and hard to predict.C．Temperature changes affect the stratocumulus clouds.D．The stratocumulus clouds protect planes from sunlight.2. How did the scientists study clouds in the new research?A．By measuring the sea level.B．By experimenting in a natural state.C．By comparing climate models.D．By computer modeling and analyzing.3. What does "it" refer to in paragraph 4?A．The atmosphere.B．The earth.C．Our society.D．The result.4. Which of the following statements would Wolchover most probably agree with?A．The effects of CO 2 emissions have been fully assessed.B．The stratocumulus clouds won't return if they are gone.C．The breakup of stratocumulus clouds could result in catastrophes.D．Once CO 2 level reaches 1, 200 ppm, stratocumulus clouds will go extinct.4. Claude Monet, Pablo Picasso and Leonardo da Vinci....the art world has never lacked talent. And now, a new painter is ready to join the list, although this one isn’t even human.Next month, auction house Christie’s Prints and Multiples will make history by offering the first piece of art created by artificial intelligence for sale. The painting is a portrait of a man called Edmond de Belamy, and is expected to be sold for up to $10,000. The work, which features a man with a mysterious look on his face, was created by software developed by the French art group Obvious. Laugero-Lasserre, an art collector from France, called the work “fantastic and amazing at the same time”. This isn’t the first example of A I-produced art work, as AI has already been used to write poems and compose songs. However, many people doubt whether it should be called art at all. According to Russian writer Leo Tolstoy (1828-1910), art is about evoking emotion. It’s “a means of...joining people together in the same feelings”, he once said.So, if the emotion behind art is what makes it, the ability to create and use tools is what makes human beings different from other species. And as a tool itself, the A I technology used to create the portrait is the result of a lot of effort made by several de signers. Together, they “fed” the A I with a huge collection of paintings from the 14th to the18th centuries, until it was able to work out how to make similar paintings of its own.The introduction of A I art could be the beginning of a new artistic movement. However, not everyone is ready to welcome these high-tech artists just yet.1. Why are the talented artists mentioned in Paragraph 1?A．To make a comparison. B．To introduce a new topic.C．To add some information. D．To offer some background.2. What does the underlined word “evoking” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A．Easing. B．Controlling. C．Creating. D．Relieving.3. What can we learn from the text?A．AI hadn’t created paintings before.B．AI created artwork for the first time.C．The price of the A I painting is the highest.D．The Russian writer thought badly of the work.4. What will be probably talked about in the following paragraph?A．Statements supporting AI art.B．Different opinions about AI art.C．Famous artworks that AI has created.D．AI technology used to create the portrait.5. Supporting OthersWe’re always being told that the secret to happiness lies in helping others. Indeed, it’s natural to want to support those we care about, especially if we are in a position to do so. 1When we offer support, it may not always be wanted. 2 In this case, offering support in the manner of “... if I were you, I would ...” can feel like a scolding rather than support. If our support feels conditional, it can feel burdensome.3 When someone is tryin g to manage illness or a house move, just saying “What would help you today?” can be amazingly supportive. Or, suggest what you can do for them: picking up some shopping, taking the dog for a walk. Even if it’s not needed, just knowing you’ ve been thought of can be supportive in itself.Try to be mindful of offering support that is disabling, rather than enabling. My son, when aged five, wanted to make a cup of tea. I could see how inspiring it was for him to be able to do this. So I filled the kettle and took him through the safety measures. It felt like a huge risk but it worked. His pleasure was immeasurable. The same principle applies when we offer support that increases someone else’s capacity. 4Sometimes the only support that’s needed is to listen w ithout judgement. 5 This reassures them that someone cares enough to listen while they ground themselves. When times are tough, remember to keep things stable. Waiting until the storm has passed is all it takes.Support often works best when it’s a two-way process. It is good to know how to accept help from others as well as offer support to them.6.

The man who sent the e-mail didn’t actually want the food itself. He was writing on behalf of his mother, who adored the dish. He went on to explain that every time she visited Baltimore, the first place she wanted to go was Ekiben, but that she was now in the final stages of lung cancer at her home in Vermont, and that he was hoping to get the recipe to make it for her there.Steve Chu, one of the Asian restaurants co-owners, read the e-mail and quickly replied with an alternative suggestion. “Thanks for reaching out,” he wrote. “We’d like to meet you in Vermont and make it fresh for you.”Brandon Jones was stunned and e-mailed back, saying, “You do know that this is Vermont we’re talking about, right ” But Steve responded, “No problem. You tell us the date, time, and location and we’ll be there.”That Friday after work, a day after receiving Brandon’s e-mail, Chu loaded his truck with a hotplate and a cooler filled with ingredients and then headed for Vermont with his team. As soon as Chu and his team pulled into the parking lot, they got to work. They pulled down the gate of the pickup, hooked the hotplate to the truck’s power port, and started cooking and deep-frying. After neatly boxing everything up, they knocked on their customer’s door.His mother opened the door, recognizing the aroma and Chu. She was sohappy and touched to have that broccoli. She couldn’t believe it and cried later about their generosity.As for Chu, he couldn’t help remembering his loyal customer. “She always stood out,” he says. “She loves the food and made sure to tell us. She’s an amazing, sweet lady.”4．Why did Brandon email to EkibenA．To get the recipe of broccoli dish. B．To make a broccoli dish for himself.C．To book the broccoli dish in advance.

They are particularly effective at detecting birds that breed (繁殖) in holes and are only active aboveground at night.Many seabirds show these same characteristics and some, including European storm petrels (海燕), are well-known for their strong scent. However, using scent dogs to detect seabirds has not been common practice in the UK.The storm petrel is the UK’s smallest seabird. They spend most of their time at sea, only coming to land to breed in summer. They come ashore under the cover of darkness and nest underground in holes. Manx shearwaters (大西洋鹱) are similarly ocean-loving, breeding on land in the UK before going to the South American coast for winter.These two species are threatened in the UK. However, surveying them is difficult due to their behaviours. The RSPB researchers tried to detect them by using their dogs.Dog A, called Islay, was trained to locate and indicate storm petrel feathers. Dog B, called Dewi, is used to detect Manx shearwater holes. Dewi had learnt to distinguish between occupied and unoccupied holes and lie down to indicate occupied holes.The study found that, with sufficient training and reward, Islay could findthe precise location of the storm petrel and differentiate between storm petrel and shearwaters cents with 100% reliability. However, care was needed to ensure no combination of scents occurred. Similarly, Dewi had a high success rate in finding shearwater nest holes, although he was less successful at locating deep holes, probably because there was less shearwaters cent at the entrance.Mark Bolton, RSPB principal conservation scientist and lead author of the paper, says, “The recent use of scent dogs to locate the nest holes of storm petrels on the, Isle of May is further evidence of the potential of scent dogs for seabird monitoring and I hope that this study will encourage more conservation practitioners to use scent dogs in their work.”8．What do we know about the storm petrelA．It is the smallest bird in the world.B．It returns to land during the winter.C．It breeds on the South American coast.D．It is active at night and has a strong scent.9．What could Islay do according to the studyA．Distinguish the combination of scents.B．Find the precise location of a small seabird.C．Tell storm petrel and shearwaters cents apart.D．Confirm the entrance to a shearwater nest hole.10．What does Mark Bolton think of their studyA．It is significant for the Isle of May.B．It aids seabird monitoring and conservation.C．It improves the detection capacities of dogs.D．It delivers ground-breaking insights into seabirds.11．What would be the best title for the textA．Scent dogs helping detect seabirds in holesB．Scent dogs serving to find nests for seabirdsC．Scent dogs first used for guarding endangered animalsD．Scent dogs revealing scents of several kinds of seabirdsDr. David Hetherington has spent over a decade looking at the feasibility (可行性) of reintroducing the Eurasian lynx (欧洲猞猁) to Scotland. In his new book, The Lynx and Us, Hetherington takes an in-depth look at the many issues surrounding this topic.Hetherington begins there introduction discussion by establishing the history and ecology of the lynx, in relation to both human-lynx coexistence and geographical variations in distribution. Habitat and range requirements, prey (猎物) preferences and hunting methods are also detailed.Armed with this background information, the reader is then taken through the nitty-gritty of lynx reintroduction by addressing the potential issues, many of which are based on human-wildlife conflict,such as safety and the impact of wild lynx, with much of the information backed up by conservation and research findings associated with the reintroductions of lynx in Europe. Hetherington addresses the significant problem of man-made barriers such as roads and rails. There are also considerations regarding prey species that are unused to having natural predators (捕食者) in their midst and the impact on prey populations. The book looks at the feasibility of lynx reintroduction in the UK. While the reintroduction of lynx to Scotland is shown to be ecologically feasible, how desirable is it Hetherington addresses each of the issues in-turn, using the significant knowledgebase that now exists regarding lynx ecology and the findings of research into lynx and their reintroductions elsewhere.For anyone with an interest in lynx re wilding, The Lynx and Us is the “go-to” book.Peter Cairns, director of there wilding charity SCOTLAND: The Big Picture, the book’s publisher, says, “With a growing national discussion about the advantages of restoring missing native species, it’s important that we all have access to balanced, factual information on which to base our opinions. That’s what this book sets out to provide.”12．Which background information is absent from The Lynx and Us A．What lynx eat. B．How lynx live.C．How lynx and people coexist. D．What lynx reintroduction will lead to.13．Which of the following can best replace the underlined part “the nitty-gritty” in paragraph 3A．The most basic causes. B．The most useful functions.C．The most important details. D．The most common methods. 14．What does Peter Cairns want to stressA．The popularity of The Lynx and Us.B．The importance of The Lynx and Us.C．The different ways of voicing our opinions.D．The advantages of restoring missing native species.15．What is the textA．A book review. B．A research report.C．A description of lynx. D．An introduction to a scientist.二、七选五Prepare for a testIn your school, tests or quizzes maybe a part of your regular classroom work. Many teachers use tests to ensure that students have accurately learned the material th at’s been studied. If taking a test makes you feel worried, the good news is that there are many easy ways for you to prepare and feel better before the exam or quiz. 16Be organizedStudying for a test will be easier if you organize you notes, handouts, and assignments ahead of time for each of your classes. 17 Considerusing a separate folder for each subject. You can keep them at home, at school, or in your backpack.Make a plan18 This might mean committing to studying for 30 minutes for a few afternoons the week before the test Or maybe you have more time on the weekends and want to plan extra study time then. No matter what you decide, block out the time on your calendar so you remember.19If you have learned a lot of material, such as in science class, ask your teacher what information will be on the test If your teacher hands out a study guide, use that guide to help you figure out what information you need to focus on most Next, decide how you want to review the material. Besides reviewing your notes, you could write key concepts on flash cards to test yourself. 20 If there is some information in your notes or in the study guide that is confusing to you, highlight that part and ask your teacher for clarification when you get to class.These strategies can help you feel confident about demonstrating your knowledge.A．Here’s how to get started.B．Highlight the study guideC．Focus on the right materialD．When you prepare for study, make a plan.E．This way, the information will be there for you when you need to review itF．Write the question on one side of the notecard and the answer on the other.G．Once you have a test date, look at a calendar and make a plan for when you’ll study.三、完形填空A teacher from Melbourne, Australia, showed her devotion to her students by making toy plushies (毛绒玩具), which is inspired by her students’ drawings.
