An advertisement.BLast year，138，000 San Francisco residents used Airbnb，a popular app designed to connect home renters and travelers.It's a striking number for a city with a population of about 850，000，and it was enough for Airbnb to win a major victory in local elections，as San Francisco voters struck down a debatable rule that would have placed time restrictions and other regulations on short-term rental services.The company fiercely opposed the measure，Proposition F，with a nearly ﹩10 million advertising campaign.It also contacted its San Franciscan users with messages urging them to vote against Proposition F.Most people think of Airbnb as a kind of couch-surfing app.The service works for one-night stays on roadtrips and longer stays in cities，and it often has more competitive pricing than hotels.It's a textbook example of the "sharing economy"，but not everyone is a fan.The app has had unintended consequences in San Francisco.As the San Francisco Chronicle reported last year，a significant amount of renting on Airbnb is not in line with the company's image：middle-class families putting up a spare room to help make ends meet.Some users have taken advantage of the service，using it to turn their multiple properties into vacation rentals or even full-time rentals.Backers of Proposition F argued that this trend takes spaces off the conventional，better-regulated housing market and contributes to rising costs."The fact is，widespread abuse of short-term rentals is taking much needed housing off the market and harming our neighborhoods，" said ShareBetter SF，a group that supported Proposition F.Hotel unions have protested the company's practices in San Francisco and other cities，saying that it creates an illegal hotel system.San Francisco is in the middle of a long-term，deeply rooted housing crisis that has seen the cost of living explode.Actually，explode is a generous term.The average monthly rent for an apartment is around ﹩4，000.Located on a narrow outcropping of land overlooking the bay，San Francisco simply doesn't have enough space to accommodate the massive inflow of young，high-salaried tech employees flocking to Silicon Valley.As the Los Angeles Times reported，some San Francisco residents supported the measure simply because it seemed like a way to check a big corporation.Opponents of Proposition F countered that the housing crisis runs much deeper，and that passing the rule would have discouraged a popular service while doing little to solve the city's existing problems.24. The intention of Proposition F is to ______ .A. place time limits in local election.B. set limits on short-term rental.C. strike down a controversial rule.D. urge users to vote against Airbnb.25. What is the negative consequence of Airbnb on San Francisco______A. It shrinks the living space of middle-class families.B. Users are taken advantage of by the service financially.C. It makes the house market more competitive.D. It indirectly leads to high house rental price.26. The housing crisis in San Francisco results from ______ .A. explosion of the living costB. its geographic characteristicsC. generosity of local enterprisesD. inflow of migrant population27. The author's attitude toward Proposition F is ______ .A. objectiveB. supportiveC. negativeD. indifferentCIt was a rainy，damp December day.I was headed to the store to pick up another week's worth of food.I had put off shopping for Christmas presents until later in the month but wasn't looking forward to the crowd of Christmas shoppers while I grabbed my groceries.I kept the CD player on while I drove to avoid the radio news.It only spoke of the world's huge problems and how divided we all still were.And it usually just left me feeling helpless.Still，I gave my son a dollar to put in the bell-ringer's pot at the door to the store.We went in and soon filled our cart with food.Then we walked towards the self-checkout machines.I hated using them.I much preferred to chat with the friendly cashiers，but the line at them was five deep and I just didn't have the time.As I pulled my cart up，I heard an old man at the machine next to mine grumbling （嘟囔）under his breath，trying his hardest not to curse （诅咒）.He only had a few items but every time he put his wrinkled，well-worn，twenty-dollar bill into the machine，the money was returned.I quickly grabbed a newer twenty out of my purse and gave it to him.He thanked me with a warm smile and paid for his goods.I told him to keep his money but he insisted that I take his old，torn twenty.I nodded，put it in my coat pocket，and wished him a Merry Christmas.After checking out，I remembered something Mother Teresa had once said about how we all can change the world，"Help one person at a time，" she said，"and always start with the person nearest you." I reached into my pocket，smiled，and went outside.Then I dropped that torn twenty into the bell-ringer's pot and walked to my car with my son happily.28. Why did the author feel helpless______A. Radio provided unreliable news.B. There was always a Christmas rush.C. People were disconnected from each other.D. Christmas was ruined by the terrible weather.29. How did the author help the old man？______A. By paying for his shopping items.B. By exchanging a newer note with him.C. By teaching him how to use the machine.D. By calling out the friendly cashier in time.30. Why did the author give twenty dollars to the bell-ringer？______A. She wanted to pursue Mother Teresa's ideas.B. She desired to spread Mother Teresa's words.C. She expected to set a good example to her son.D. She hoped to have a meaningful day with her son.31. What's the best title for the text？______A. A Better World.B. The Person Nearest You.C. The Christmas Spirit.D. A Twenty-Dollar Bill.DAs soon as the words left my mouth，I knew I'd made a mistake. "You think Jane Austen is ...soft？" the man opposite me asked in disbelief.Then，he and his colleague took turns to challenge my claim，finishing each other's sentences as they stressed that Austen's novels were，in fact，savage."I just mean…" I said in a bright voice，trying to keep the tone light，"that she's not as biting as Virginia Woolf."The two professors battled this idea around，too，like a couple of cats toying with a frightened bird giving specific examples of how Austen's work was，on the contrary，more biting than Woolf's.With no more defensive action to take，I simply smiled and said，"Let's just agree to disagree，shall we？" And at that moment，my dreams of going to Oxford University disappeared in a puff of smoke.Part of my problem，was a lack of confidence.Even though I was a straight A student and had prepared for the interview to the best of my ability，I wasn't a skilled debater.When faced with two experts who told me that I was wrong，instead of defending myself，I rolled over and accepted defeat.To pass the interview，you need more than confidence，of course.You also need a burning passion for your subject，not just astrong interest.In other words，don't put comments on your personal statement that you're not prepared to back up in person.Unfortunately，I made the error.So，months later，I already knew the contents of my thin envelope when it appeared on my doormat.Naturally，I felt a pang of disappointment.But，looking back，that wasn't necessarily a bad thing.Instead of going to Oxford，I found a university that was a better fit for my interests.I loved my eclectic （兼容并蓄的）course，where I could write an essay comparing Jane Eyre to 50 Shades of Grey. Failing my Oxford interview also provided a valuable life lesson.I'm now more confident in my opinions，more passionate when it comes to debate，and I try to back up my points with hard evidence.What's more，I have never since ended a discussion by giving a simpering smile （傻笑）and saying，"Let's just agree to disagree，shall we？"32. What does the underline word "savage" mean in paragraph 1？______A. full of ironyB. full of romanceC. involving strong criticismD. reflecting the reality33. According to the author，the real reason why she failed in her interview was that ______ .A. she didn't maintain her claim.B. she argued with the interviewers fiercely.C. she admitted that she was wrong too quickly.D. she didn't make adequate preparations for her claim.34. Which of the following statements is true about the author？______A. She was not so eager as other students to go to Oxford.B. She finally fulfilled her dream of studying in Oxford.C. She entered a university more suitable to develop her interest.D. She was disappointed about the university she finally entered.35. After failing the Oxford interview，the author learned that ______A. one should back up her points with hard evidence confidently.B. the ability to debate was the only thing matters in an interview.C. finding what her real passions were was the most urgent thing to do.D. respecting different opinions was very important to an interviewee.第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

广东省中山市2022-2023学年高一下学期期末统一考试英语试题
广东省中山市2022-2023学年高一下学期期末统一考试英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解The national parks of Russia are attracting many tourists. To make the selection of the popular parks easy for you, we prepared a few national parks worth visiting.◎ Elk Island, MoscowElk (麋鹿) Island is the very first national park of Russia. It was established in the year 1983. The park is located to the north of the Capital City. If you are a true love of nature, then here you can enjoy riding a bicycle in the park. The entrance of this park is near the Belokamennaya station and no entry fee is there. If you are willing to visit the elks, then you need to take a bus directly from the metro station.◎ Pleshcheyevo Lake, YaroslavlIt is located on the golden rule tourist route, and here you will get the feeling of ancient Rus. Travelers here love the picturesque view of the Sunset. The ancient city Pereslavl-Zalessky is surrounded by this park. You can get a bus directly from the Moscow Central Station.◎ Sochi National Park, MoscowThis park was also started in the year 1983. This park is situated 1000 miles south of Moscow. It is quite impressive to notice that since 2007, Caucasian leopards have been introduced again in this park. Waterfalls, caves, and canyons altogether make the atmosphere really enjoyable and you can also take pleasure swimming in the warm black sea.◎ Land of the Leopard, VladivostokIf you are desirous to watch leopards, then Vladivostok is definitely the best place to visit. This place is situated 5600 miles away from east Moscow and here you will be able to get a glimpse of the wild cats — leopards. This region is spread from the Amur Bay. There is one single tourist route to enter the park.1．What is special about Elk Island?A．It has an entry fee for visitors.B．It is located to the center of Moscow.C．It offers chance to visit the elks by metro.D．It is one of the first national parks of Russia.2．What can travelers enjoy in Pleshcheyevo Lake national park?A．The culture of ancient Rus.B．A picturesque view of the Sunset.C．Riding a bicycle to the ancient city.D．Swimming in the Pleshcheyevo Lake. 3．What do Sochi National Park and Land of the Leopard have in common?A．They allow visitors to observe leopards.B．They were established in the year 1983.C．They give visitors a good place to swim in.D．They are located in the southern part of Russia.Every auntie I know has a kitchen drawer containing a carefully maintained collection of yoghurt dabbas. Dabba is Indian word for ‘box,’ but it refers to all manner of containers, too. Dabbas are saved and reused again and again most of the time.When I was a kid, my mother cut no corners when it came to food, sparing no effort to cook the meals—after a full day at the office. The leftovers would inevitably(必然地) find their way into yoghurt dabbas.But just as every auntie cherished her dabbas, every uncle hated them. My own father, a generally easy-going man, carefully avoided the drawer of dabbas. When he felt annoyed at the dabbas, my mother would shoot him a look that would surely have killed a weaker man and place her dabba carefully back in its drawer. Occasionally my father would get fed up with the overflowing drawer and clear all the dabbas. But my mother would simply start the process of collecting them again.When I went away to university, my mom used to cook food and send it back with me with strict instructions to wash the dabbas and bring them home. But when I did so, I felt embarrassed with the eyes of my roommates on me. Eventually, I found my way to a big company and had a family of my own. Like my mother before me, I’m also the proud owner of an extensive dabba collection.They truly are the most useful of objects, with uses ranging from food storage to toys for my children. It is a source of a strange and indescribable comfort. When I married my husband, my mother was concerned. “You know, you come from very different backgrounds,” she said. Dealing with cultural differences is surely an adventure. But the other night, I heard my husband yelling in the kitchen, and the next morning, I found my dabbas in the recyclingbin. I narrowed my eyes a little as I fished them out, washed them up and replaced them in their drawer. I was practising my mother’s death stare.4．What did the the author’s mother mainly use her dabbas for?A．Making boxes.B．Cooking meals.C．Storing food.D．Collecting yoghurt.5．What can we infer from the author’s father’s attitude towards dabbas?A．The author’s mother was cruel to his father.B．Not everyone understands the meaning of dabbas.C．The author’s parents were annoyed with each other.D．The author’s father always threw away the mother’s dabbas.6．What did the author do after marriage?A．She followed in her mother’s footsteps.B．She washed the dabbas for her mother.C．She felt embarrassed when washing the dabbas.D．She brought the dabbas back home for her mother.7．What can be a suitable title for the text?A．Dabbas—a Way of Recycling.B．Dabbas—a Source of Cultural Differences.C．Dabbas—an Approach to Cherishing Food.D．Dabbas—a Container to Share Food and Love.COVID-19 is just one example of a disease that has jumped from a wild animal to people. In hopes of preventing future outbreaks, scientists are working to understand what led to the jump, also known as a spillover event. A group working in Australia thinks it may have one answer: Keep wildlife well-fed.All animals carry germs. Some viruses don’t harm the animals in which they are typically found. That’s because the host species has encountered this virus so often that its immune system(免疫系统) has developed a way to keep the germ under control. But if this virus later finds its way into a new species, it may cause serious disease.From 1996 to 2020, Peel and her group tracked where bats spent their time. For the first six years, there were no spillover events. But starting in 2003, the team noticed the bats’ ecosystem was changing. Soon after, spillovers started to show up. Peel’s group linked theseevents to periods when the bats couldn’t find enough food.This happened in years that followed strong El Niño events. This climate event causes trees that normally flower in spring may now fail to do so. Hungry bats will then leave their forests in search of food. Some may end up near farms where they can infect horses and they may stay there until the following winter.But some spillovers happened even during non-El Niño years. The researchers suspect this might be due to changes in tree cover. Over the course of the study, large sections of forest were cut down for farming and housing. This reduced the number of trees that flower in winter. Without their main food source, hungry flying foxes shifted their behavior. Just as they did after El Niño years, they now spent more time near farms in search of food. It was after this shift that spillover events occurred.8．What makes the viruses relatively safe to the host animals?A．They are not affected by all viruses.B．They are more experienced.C．They are able to control the viruses.D．They always have enough food. 9．Apart from El Niño, which of the following factors is more likely to cause spillover events?A．Widespread forest clearing.B．Serious pollution in the air.C．Increase in food and water.D．Genetic changes in animals.A．Ignored B．Experienced C．Avoided D．Changed 11．What is more likely to be talked about next?A．Relationship between spillovers and El Niño.B．Impact of climate change on bat behavior.C．How to ensure enough food supply for wildlife.D．The history of spillover events in Australia.Organic farming(有机耕作) is a farming method that uses the natural techniques to grow crops and raise farm animals. This approach avoids the use of synthetic(合成的) chemicals, pesticides, and fertilizers, and instead relies on natural methods to promote healthy soil and crop growth.One of the key benefits of organic farming is its sustainability(可持续性). By avoiding the use of harmful substances, organic farmers are able to reduce their impact on theenvironment and protect the health of both the soil and local ecosystems. This also means that organic farming has a smaller carbon footprint than traditional farming methods, making it a more sustainable and environmentally-friendly option.In addition to its environmental benefits, organic farming also has important health benefits. By avoiding the use of pesticides and fertilizers, organic farmers are able to produce crops that are free from harmful chemicals. This can lead to a healthier diet and reduced risk of exposure to harmful substances.Moreover, organic farming can also have positive economic impacts. By supporting local farmers and promoting sustainable agriculture, organic farming can help to create more jobs and support local communities. Additionally, organic produce (农产品) is often sold at a higher price, which can provide financial benefits for farmers and help to promote sustainable agriculture as a good business model.However, there are also challenges associated with organic farming. Because organic farming relies on natural methods to control pests and promote growth, it requires more workers and demand more time than traditional farming methods. Additionally, organic farming may not always be as productive or efficient as traditional farming methods, which can make it more difficult for farmers to meet demand.Despite these challenges, many farmers and consumers are using organic farming as a more sustainable and environmentally-friendly way. As more people become aware of the environmental and health benefits of organic farming, it is likely that demand for organic produce will continue to grow. This, in turn, may help to promote the growth of sustainable agriculture and support the health of both people and the planet.12．What do we know about organic farming?A．It makes crops grow better.B．It produce lower quality crops.C．It uses natural techniques in farming.D．It uses fertilizers to promote healthy soil. 13．How do the farmers reduce footprint through organic farming?A．By avoiding the use of harmful substances.B．By using more sustainable synthetic chemicals.C．By increasing their impact on the environment.D．By studying both the soil and local ecosystems.14．Which of the following is the economic benefit brought to farmers by organic farming?A．Healthier diet to farmers.B．High demand for traditional produce.C．More job chances in other fields.D．Higher prices for organic produce. 15．What challenge does organic farming face?A．It is impossible to control pests.B．It needs more workers and time.C．The farmland cannot meet farmers’ demand.D．It has a negative impact on local ecosystems.二、七选五Like most people, you probably spend a lot of time sitting and gain weight. For the sakeJust try some of these simple everyday activities to keep moving, and watch the pounds melt away.● Increase daily walking to stay active and healthyWalking is one of the easiest, most convenient activities you can do. 17 . Use a pedometer(计步器) to keep track of how much you’re walking, and slowly work up to 10,000 steps a day.● Fight sitting disease by standing at workWork is a place where many of us sit for hours, and the result is a lost opportunity to burn hundreds of calories every day. 18 . Standing obviously puts more stress on the body than sitting, thus it will burn more calories. If you stand for an entire workday, it can help increase leg strength and endurance.● Make house cleaning a part of your fitness routine19 . It can strengthen your muscles without you even realizing it.

青海省西宁市2022-2023学年高一下学期期末考试英语试题
青海省西宁市2022-2023学年高一下学期期末考试英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解Video games sometimes have a bad name because they keep people indoors playing them instead of talking and playing with others face to face. However, a new study says that they might be good for young people’s brain development.Scientists from the University of Vermont used data from the ABCD project, which is a study of brain development and health of children in the US as they move into adulthood. The results ware taken from 2,217 children aged nine or ten. They were divided into two groups.The first group never play video games while the second group play them for three or more hours a day.The young people were set two tasks. The first one measured their reaction(反应) time by seeing how quickly they could press buttons that matched images on a screen. The second test tested their memory. They were show pictures of people’s faces and later were shown more and had to say if any of the faces were the same. During the tests, their brains were scanned with fMRI to measure brain activity.The people who played video-games were better at the two tasks, and the fMRI scans showed that they show more brain activity in memory and attention. However, researchers don’t know if gaming improved their memory and reactions, or if they already had good memories and reactions and therefore enjoyed gaming.The scientists hope to carry on studying the same young people as they get older to track the effects of gaming. The team could also find out in future if particular types of video games affect people’s brain activity differently.The lead scientist on the study, Bader, said that too much screen time isn’t good for people’s mental or physical health. Although playing video games may get the brain more active than just going through videos on YouTube, it’s important to spend time outdoors in the fresh air, taking exercise and having fun with friends and family.1．What does the ABCD project do?A．It deals with adult brain development.B．It studies the development of young brains.D．H focuses on the importance of communication.2．How did the first group perform compared with the second one?A．They showed fewer problems in memory.B．They already had better memory ability.C．They showed better ability in attention.D．They showed more attention problems.3．What do the researchers hope to do with the same young people?A．Track the effects of video games on them.B．Separate bad video games from good ones.C．Find ways to stop people from video games.D．Find a safe tine limit on playing the games.4．what can we infer from Bader’s words?A．The benefit of video games should be recognized.B．YouTube videos are less harmful than video games.C．There’re many better things to do than video games.D．The young should be taught to stay off video games.Your math teacher wears clothes made in 1985 and always mispronounces your name. Your English teacher loves to start classes with quick quizzes. It can be hard to think of these givers of grades as real people. But they eat pizza, watch movies and enjoy sports on weekends, just like you. So how can you get along well with your teachers?You can do a lot of things to develop a good relationship with your teacher. First, do the obvious things: Show up in class on time with all tasks completed. Stay focused, be respectful and ask questions. Second, show an interest in the subject. Obviously, your teachers are really interested in their subjects, or they wouldn’t have decided to teach them! Show the teacher that you care about the subject—even if you’re not a math talent or fluent in French—and send the message that you are a hard-working student.You can also schedule a private meeting in a teacher’s free time. Use this time to get extra help, ask questions, ask for information about a career (职业) in the subject or talk about your progress in class. You may be surprised to learn that your teacher is a bit more relaxed when only facing you than when teaching in front of the whole class.characteristics can come into play just as they can in any other relationships. People just naturally get along better with some people than with others; it’s impossible to like everyone all the time. Learning to work with people you don’t like is a good interpersonal (人际的) skill to have in life,no matter what your goals are.Teachers are there for more than just homework; they know about more than their subject matters. They can help you learn how to behave as an adult and lifelong learner. Undoubtedly, there will be a few teachers along the way who you’ll always remember—and who might change your life forever.5．How can students develop a good relationship with their teachers?A．By learning as many subjects as possible.B．By respecting other students in class.C．By finishing their homework on time.D．By developing personal interests.6．What is important when working with teachers you don’t like?A．Your characteristics.B．Your interpersonal skills.C．Your career goals.D．Your grades in exams.7．What can we learn from the last paragraph?A．Teachers can help you grow up.B．Teachers are all lifelong learners.C．Teachers should set enough homework.D．Teachers tend to change you completely.There’s no doubt that football is the global sport. Though basketball, tennis, and other sports are popular too, nothing comes close to football. Being played in every country in the world, football provides dozens of superstars. The numbers are greater when compared to any other sport, and this drives the popularity of football up. Have you ever wondered when the sport started and became popular?Football has its origin (起源) in China and has a history of more than 2,000 years. However, modern football originally appeared in Britain in the 19th century. Folk footballFootball became a winter sport game played in different schools. The rules were carried out by each school, and this made it difficult for players to play an official game with each other. It all changed in 1849 at the University of Cambridge that invented a set of standard rules known as the Cambridge rules of football. From that moment, a new star sport was born.By the early 20th century, football had spread all across Europe. In 1904, FIFA was set up. There are seven original members, including France, Denmark and Spain, FIFA became the governing body for many associations in Europe.England’s international success improved the popularity of the sport in the country. The league (联赛) in Britain was set up in 1992. From the 1990s, it became a truly impressive piece of football organization, becoming the world’s top football league in the process.Football is obviously the most popular sport in the world. It is impossible for any other sport to take its place, especially with leagues spending billions of pounds every year to stay in the focus.8．What is the author’s purpose of writing paragraph 1?A．To describe the level of football.B．To introduce the topic of the text.C．To debate the main idea of the text.D．To introduce famous football leagues.9．Where did modern football first start?A．In China.B．In France.C．In Britain.D．In Spain.10．Why was it difficult to play an official game before 1849?A．The rules always changed.B．There were no common rules.C．The season made players hard to win.D．Officials made players misunderstand the rules.11．How is the text mainly developed?A．By time order.B．By space order.C．By listing numbers.D．By giving examples.China celebrates Teachers’ Day on September 10. The tradition began in the 1980s to improve teachers lives and status and encourage everyone to respect teachers.In India, Teachers’ Day is celebrated on September 5, in honor of Dr. Radhakrishnan. He was India’s second president and a person who believed in good education. Traditionally on this day, the teaching is done by the senior students while the teachers get a much-deserved break from their work.The United Nations has made October 5 World Teachers’ Day. This special day was started to let the world see what teachers have done and listen to the teachers’ worries and the things they want to change.In the United States, National Teachers’ Day is always on the Tuesday of the first week of May, so the actual date is different every year. The history of celebrating this day goes back to 1944.In Germany, Teachers’ Day is celebrated on June 12 every year. People will express their respect to teachers with many activities.

In some areas, people are forbidden to use fire to cook food, so they only eat cool food.Double Ninth Festival16 The Chinese character of September is the same as 9, so we get this special name. Chinese people, especially the north Chinese, climb the mountains to the peak to enjoy the wonderful scenery, and admire the beauty of chrysanthemum.Winter Solstice(冬至)Winter Solstice is on around December 22 or 23 of solar calendar each year. From Winter Solstice on, the daytime will be longer and longer. 17 In the northern region, people eat dumplings and wonton(馄饨), while in the southern region rice balls.18In China, this festival is in late January or early February, the last day of the Lunar year.

Andrea Peterson was 5 when she and her mother were trapped in a burning building. It was a threatening situation in which no one could get close to them. The hope for survival didn’t come until the firefighters arrived.“Throw the kid down!” said one of the firemen below, and little Andrea leaped into lifesaving arms and a lifelong ambition（抱负）: She wanted to fight fires like her rescuers did. She told that to the men who had saved her, and they laughed good-naturedly the way grown-ups do when a kid says they want to be an astronaut or a sports star. But this was back in a time when little girls weren’t even allowed to fantasize about such grand goals. “You’ll be a good mommy,” the firemen told her. “You’ll be a good teacher, maybe you’ll be a nurse, but you can never be a fireman.”However, life sidelined her dreams. She met her husband, Dennis, who was diagnosed（诊断）with cancer later. Peterson spent 31 years caring for the man she loved. At 61, she went on an ambulance ride-along and Peterson felt that long-ago childhood calling. She earned her emergency medical technician license and responded to fire calls with the ambulance. She found that her years of tending to Dennis had prepared her for dealing with a variety of hurts and ills. After a year, she told her boss she wanted to be a firefighter.The fact that everyone else in her training unit didn’t stop her. She passed the written test, and physical examination. Finally, that little girl’s dream became a reality.Peterson i s realistic. “I worry a little when I get too old.” She knows that the window on her physical abilities won’t stay open forever. “Fortunately, I did get my dream.” She laughed.4. What happened to Andrea Peterson when she was five?A．No one came to her rescue in the fire.B．She dreamed about becoming a firefighter.C．The firemen failed to find her.D．She was stuck in the burning building alone.5. What can be inferred from the firemen’s words?A．Big dreams were too far away from girls.B．People thought girls should put family first.C．Andrea’s goal to be an astronaut was realistic.D．They believed Andrea could be a good parent.6. What did Andrea benefit from caring for her husband?A．Becoming brave to face death. B．Learning to drive an ambulance.C．Being able to treat various injuries. D．Obtaining the medical technician license.7. Which of the following words best describe Andrea?A．Considerate and hard-working. B．Honest and modest.C．Creative and adventurous. D．Ambitious and determined.In February 2015, a photograph of a dress raised heated debate around the world. The disagreement centred on the dress’s colour: some people were convinced it was blue and black while others white and gold. People couldn’t understand how, faced with exactl y the same photograph of exactly the same dress, they could reach such different conclusions.For a long time, people believed that colours were objective, physical features of objects or of the light that was reflected off them. But this theory isn’t rea lly true. Different wavelengths of light do exist independently of us but they only become colours inside our bodies. Every person's visual system is unique and so are their perceptions（感知）. This is why no two people will ever see exactly the same colours.Another cause of the problem is language. People generally name only the colours they consider socially or culturally important. In English we divide colour space into 11 basic terms—black, white, red, yellow, green, blue, purple, brown, grey, orange and pink—but other languages do things differently. At least one Indigenous community has no specific words for any colours, only “light” and “dark”. The Aztecs, who were enthusiastic farmers, used more than a dozen words for green.A single colour can mean completely different things in different places and at different times. In the west white is the colour of light, life and purity, but in parts of Asia it is the colour of death. Many people today think of blue as masculine（男性的）and pink as feminine（女性的）, but only a hundred years ago baby boys were dressed in pink and girls in blue.All of this taken together, it becomes rather difficult to reach a conclusion different from that of the 18th-century philosopher David Hume: colour is merely a phantasm of the senses.8. What caused a world-wide discussion?A．The exact colour of the dress. B．The colorful design of the dress.C．The changing colour of the dress. D．The number of the dress's colours.9. What was a common misunderstanding of colour?A．Wavelengths of light became colours.B．Colours existed objectively and physically.C．Everyone’s visual system worked uniquely.D．Colours could be reflections of different light.10. What does the author want to tell by the example of the colour “blue” and “pink”?A．Colour meanings may vary in places.B．Colour can have special gender meanings.C．Colour may mean differently in different cultures.D．Colour can have various meanings at different times.11. What does the underlined words in the last paragraph probably mean?A．Colour doesn’t exist in reality.B．Colour doesn’t make any sense.C．Colour is an imagination in mind. D．Colour is independent from senses. Over the last two decades, American technology companies and policymakers warned of a “digital di vide” in which poor children could fall behind their richer peers without equal access to technology. Today, with widespread internet access and smartphone ownership, the gap has narrowed sharply in America. But gradually a different division has appeared: Across the country, poor children and teenagers are taking part far less in sports and fitness activities than richer youngsters are. Call it the physical divide.Data from different sources show a significant gap in sports participation（参与）by income level.A Centers for Disease Control and Prevention study found that 70% of children from families with incomes above about $105,000—four times the poverty line—took part in sports in 2020. But participation was around 51% for families in a middle-income range, and just 31% for families at or below the poverty line.A 2021 study of Seattle-area students from fifth grade through high school found that youth were less likely to take part in sports than their richer peers. The study also found that middle schoolers from richer families were three times as likely to meet physical exercise guidelines as less wealthy students.Schools are not always filling the gap. A recent report from the Physical Activity Alliance, a nonprofit organization, gave schools nationwide a grade of D-for physical fitness. That is a downgrade from a C-in 2014, with the new grade reflecting even less access to regular physical education classes, gym time and equipment in schools. Ann Paulls-Neal, a track coach at Highland High, has noticed that richer students have more access to club sports. She thought about the reasons. Some families couldn’t afford private sports or didn’t have cars or time to ferry their children to practice while richer ones can afford for club-team fees, uniforms, equipment, travel to tournaments（锦标赛）and private coaching.12.

With the approach of summer vacation, if you ever had a thought that biking might be for you, July might be the perfect month to try it out. Regular biking is beneficial to your mental and physical health. 16 So here are some tips that can guide the new cyclists along.Prepare essential necessities. You don’t need a ton of equipment to get started. Once you’ve got your bike and helmet, consider how to carry all your belongings. That could be a simple backpack, but it could also be a basket on your bike. 17 In the summer, athletic shorts and a T-shirt are often good choices.18 Don’t try biking somewhere for the first time when you’re in a hurry or have an important meeting. Bike somewhere closer and low-risk, like a quick run to the store or to a friend's backyard. Work your way up to more farther destinations.Adopt a relaxed mindset（心态）and seek help. It`s admitted that mentality, of taking it easy, can be extended to the route itself. Try out different routes to find the one yo u’re most comfortable with. Visit a bike shop to get maps of your city’s bike paths. Ask friends who bikes for suggestions or to ride with you. 19Use a bike lane if possible. The League of American Bicyxclists says bikers should try to give cars 3 feet of space. But cyclists shouldn`t ride in the gutter（排水沟）to keep their distance. 20 Don`t make drivers try to squeeze（挤压）past you. It`s about maintaining a balance for safety, and that’s not always easy.My father, Michael, led me through the outside cottage he’d filled with his paintings. “When I have an exhibition...” he began, pointing to the ______ he’d created.

"Be-sides，the benefits of tree planting greatly outweigh （大于）the cost.Our results provide an important evidence-base for clear measures （e.g.planting trees）to increase the lifetime of urban people."8. How long did it take Friends of Trees to plant 49，246 street trees？______A. 5 years.B. 10 years.C. 15 years.D. 30 years.9. What do we know about the study from paragraph 3______A. Women gain no benefit from trees.B. Tree planting can cure respiratory diseases.C. Older trees contribute more to public health.D. Newly planted trees can better improve public health.10. What does Donovan suggest doing？______A. Protecting trees in forests.B. Planting more street trees.C. Joining Friends of Trees.D. Getting more benefits from nature.11. How does the author mainly develop the topic of the text？______A. By listing numbers.B. By stating results.C. By describing processes.D. By raising questions.DThe average person must think the field of artificial intelligence or AI is making great progress.The boss of a top tech company thinks that in search of creating AI that has the flexibility of the human brain，"the game is over".Don't be fooled.We should see it in a reasonable way.Machines may someday be as smart as people and perhaps even smarter，but the game is far from over.There is still a large amount of work to be done in making AI machines that can truly understand and reason about the world around them.What we need right now is more basic research to speed it up.AI is making progress.Artificial images look more and more realistic，and speech recognition can often work in noisy environments.But we are still likely decades away from human-level AI that can understand the true meanings of articles and videos or deal with unexpected difficulties.The field is stuck on the same challenges that scientists have been pointing out for years：getting AI to be reliable and getting it toflexibly deal with unusual situations.Unluckily，the fact is that these systems still fail to work reliably and struggle with new situations.Although deep learning has advanced the ability of AI machines to recognize patterns in data，it has three main disadvantages.The patterns that it learns are superficial.The results it creates are hard to explain.And the results are difficult to use in the other processes，such as memory and reasoning.As Harvard University computer scientist Leslie Valiant noted，"The central challenge in the future is to unify the formulations （统一公式）of learning and reasoning." You can't deal with a person carrying a stop sign if you don't really understand what a stop sign even is.It's time for AI researchers to get out of turning to the media straightly for help，and ask important questions about how to build systems that can learn and reason at the same time.12. What does the author expect of AI？______A. It'll make less progress.B. It'll get less basic research.C. It'll replace human workforce in all fields.D. It'll have the real ability to understand and reason.13. What does the author stress about human-level AI in paragraph 2？______A. Its cost and quality.B. Its speech and sound.C. Its reliability and flexibility.D. Its appearance and operation.14. What is paragraphs 3 mainly about？______A. The weaknesses of AI machines.B. The advances brought out by AI.C. The processes of making AI machines.D. The scientists working on AI research.15. What can be the best title for the text______A. Keep Away from AI.B. Treat AI Reasonably.C. The Use of AI Should Be Reported.D. AI Is Turning to the Media for Help.二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共12.5分）Though it may seem simpler for you to deal with things as they come，you may find yourself always disorganized and forgetting tasks.（1）______ The following tips may help you make it.Obtain a calendar or notebook.Make sure the calendar has enough space for you to list your tasks.Some calendars offer weekly，daily，or hourly forms.（2）______ Choose whatever best suits your wants and needs.Whatever you choose，stick to your choice.Do not try to have one planner for work，one for school，etc.Everything should be in one place.（3）______ Make it a habit to check your calendar every morning and night to prepare for the day ahead.Each day you should also schedule a few minutes，maybe after you get your morning milk，or during your class breaks，to review what needs to be done for the day and to add new things or check old things off.Reward yourself.（4）______ After you' ve completed your duties for the day，treat yourself to your favorite TV show，a sweet snack or a relaxing travel.You'll feel accomplished and de-serving of those rewards when you've earned them.Adjust your schedule as needed.It's important to check in every once in a while and figure out whether your schedule is suitable for you.One way to do this is to look at the task list for the day while also evaluating（评估）your own mood and feelings.Are you seeing many things checked off on the task list and generally feeling positive and productive？（5）______A.A notebook can also be used.B.Check your calendar or notebook.C.Try to leave some space in your schedule.D.If you find this happening a lot，give yourself more time.E.If that is true，then your schedule is likely working well for you.F.Keeping a schedule for your day gets you more in control of your life.G.It is important to recognize yourself after you've kept to your schedule.16.
