My wife, Krisztina Valter, is a scientist. One day, she went to a scientific activity with me. Most knowledge of biology went over my head, but one speaker attracted my attention. Jochen Zeil, a professor who studies animal behavior, presented a model of how insects could work out a way to go to a target despite having small brains.At lunch time, my wife introduced us. Zeil and I had a very enjoyable discussion about his idea and biology. Before we parted, I joked that if he wanted another PhD student, he could count me in. About a month later he emailed me, “Haven’t heard from you. Have you enrolled (注册) yet?” And that’s how, at the age of 53, I became a part-time doctorial student in biology.My background in biology had been out of date for many years, so I needed to learn the basics fast. It was not easy, but I got a lot of help from other laboratory members and my wife. The more I learnt, the more I realized how little I knew. Every paper caused the need to read more. It was tiring, and at times disappointing, but brought a lot of fun. You read, think, and suddenly things fall into place.But there is something I have to get used to. If you repeat an engineering experiement, you expect to get the same result. This is not so in behavior biology. Your experiment subjects actually have a mind of their own—You can put an ant on a trackball, but you can’t make it walk on the ball.Now at the age of 61, this period is nearly at an end. New knowledge enriches you, regardless of how old you are. My advice is that if you have the opportunity to enter a new field, take it.4.What did the author think of most of the knowledge about biology presented at the activity?A.He couldn’t think too highly of it.B.He couldn’t make sense of it.C.He considered it quite easy.D.He felt it was so practical.5.How did the author become a doctorial student in biology according to paragraph 2?A.He expected to realize his dream in his heart for long.B.He said something amusing and Zeil took it seriously.C.He was always urged by his wife to learn biology.D.He tried hard to persuade Zeil to take him in.6.What is the theme of third paragraph?A.The author’s good relationship with other laboratory members.B.The author’s difficulty in learning and his discouragement.C.The author’s learning experiences and his reflection.D.The author’s purpose of learning the subject.7.What can we infer from the author’s words in the last two paragraphs?A.Experimenting with insects may get a different result.B.Old people ought to work hard to get a college degree.C.The author prefers behavior bi ology to engineering now.D.Doing engineering experiments is easier than doing bi ology ones.A newly developed algorithm (算法) can spot depression in Twitter users with 88.39% accuracy. Developed by researchers at Brunel University London and the University of Leicester, the algorithm determines someone’s mental state by analyzing the 38 data points from their public Twitter information, including their posts, their posting times, and the other users in their social circle.“We tested the algorithm on two large databases and compared our results with those obtained by other depression detection techniques,” said Prof. Abdul Sadka, Director of Brunel’s Institute of Digital Futures. “In all cases, we’ve managed to make it perform better than existing techniques in terms of their classification accuracy.”The algorithm was trained by using two databases that contain the Twitter history ofthousands of users, as well as additional information about those users’ mental health. Eighty percent of the information in each database was used to teach the robot, with the other 20% then used to test its accuracy. The robot works by first excluding (排除) all users with fewer than five posts and running the remaining information through natural language software to correct for misspellings and short-form words. It then considers the 38 different data points—such as a user’s use of positive and negative words, the number of friends and followers they have, and their use of emojis—and makes a decision on that user’s mental and emotional state.The team says that such a system could potentially mark a user’s depression before they post something into the public websites on the Internet, paving the way for platforms such as Twitter and Facebook to proactively (积极行动地) warn users about their mental health issues. What’s more, the robot can also be used after a post has been made on the public platforms, potentially allowing employers and other businesses to assess a user’s mental state based on their social media posts. It could be used for a number of reasons, the researchers say, including the use in emotional analysis, criminal investigation or employment screening. 8.How does the robot determine a Twitter user’s mental state?A.By accessing the user’s previous health status.B.By inquiring about the user’s friends and followers.C.By discovering the misspellings and short-form words in the user’s posts.D.By taking into consideration the different aspects from the user’s public information. 9.Why does the author mention Prof Abdul Sadka’s words in paragraph 2?A.To show that the newly developed algorithm is better at depression detection.B.To emphasize the differences between depression detection techniques.C.To reveal the seriousness of depression among Twitter users.D.To introduce some ways to detect depression.10.What is the third paragraph mainly about?A.What factors determine depression.B.The common symptoms of depression.C.Why researchers wanted to access people’s mental state.D.The training and working process of the algorithm system.11.What is one of the practical uses of knowing the users’ mental and emotional state?A.It can help improve the techniques of depression detection.B.It enables the platforms to provide medical service for their users.C.It can help companies select more suitable staff from some candidates.D.It makes it possible for websites to better protect their users’ privacy.With the recent ban on iPhone 12 sales in France due to radiation concerns, a potential snowball effect might appear, as other European Union member states could follow suit (效仿). In a statement to the press earlier this month, France’s Digital Minister Jean-Noel Barrot said radiation from the iPhone model was above what is legally permitted according to national technology watchdogs.The Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) for the iPhone 12, when worn close to the body, for example in trouser pockets, was found to be above the legal limit of 4wattsper kilogram. Apple now plans updates, in response to the radiation from iPhone 12, which is 5.74 watts per kilo, to be rolled out to all iPhone 12 owners across France.The French government warned that failure from Apple would need it to recall all the iPhone 12s already owned by consumers within the country. Currently the World Health Organisation states that there is no scientific evidence to support the idea that mobile phone radiation could be harmful to humans.Some organisations recommend caution for their use and support further definitive long-term research, which is why government safety guidelines are tentatively (实验性地) in place. It is true that phones emit radiation. However, it is generally assumed to be safe and is the same type used to transmit radio station frequencies.This is a different type compared to other forms of radiation such as x-rays, which we know to be harmful. So far, no good explanations have been found to demonstrate that radiation from mobile phones can affect people’s health. It is also unlikely that they will increase cancer risk as the energy emitted is generally thought of by scientists as being too weak to damage DNA.The issue has resulted in the French government expressing their attitude, and Apple is not the only manufacturer under scrutiny. Other brands such as Samsung and Motorola all have models which exceed the national limit. In fact, over 50 phone models across the major tech company sphere are included in the list by French technology watchdogs, with flagship products such as the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 and Motorola Edge all under scrutiny.While it is unlikely that mobile phone radiation is likely to damage health, France’sdramatic assertion(断言) over a tech giant like Apple has caused others to follow suit. Mathieu Michel, Belgium’s secretary of state for digitization, has also vowed to investigate the issue for the country, while Germany and Italy are also paying close attention to any developments.12.How much higher is the radiation from an iPhone 12 than that of the legal limit?A.1.32 watts per kilo.B.1.46 watts per kilo.C.1.57 watts per kilo.D.1.74 watts per kilo.13.What did the French government require Apple to do?A.To repair all the iPhone 12s sold in France.B.To update all the iPhone 12s sold in France.C.To ask for all the iPhone 12s to be returned.D.To replace all the iPhone 12s with other types.14.Which can replace the underlined word “scrutiny” in paragraph 6?A.Examination.B.Development.C.Instruction.D.Budget. 15.What is the best title for the news report?A.France promises to accuse Apple for iPhone 12B.France’s iPhone 12 ban leads to Apple’s protestC.France promises to reduce radiation level from iPhone 12D.France’s iPhone 12 ban could lead to EU-wide tech regulationQuick facts about OPTYear after year, international students from around the world come to the US in pursuit of one of the best educational offers in the world. 16 But for others the goal is to work in the US after graduation.What is OPT?17 Every international student in the US entitled (使有权利) to 12 months of practical training (i.e. work) in the US under OPT. Typically, if you are not a citizen of a particular country, then you are not allowed to work in that country without proper documents. Similarly, as an international student in the US without proper documents, OPT is one that allows you to do so.It is also important to note that students studying in the STEM fields get a 24-month extension in addition to the normal 12 months for a total of 36 months.18However, OPT only gives international students 12 months of employment. In the long run, foreigners would seek an H1-B visa in order to work in the US for the long term. 19 You will first need to find an company that would like to sponsor (赞助) you for your H1-B visa. This means that you have to apply for jobs, and on top of that, you have to make sure that if you accept a job offer, that company will want to pay the additional fee to sponsor you.Why not go straight for an H1-B after graduation?As stated previously, a company is required to sponsor you in order for you to be eligible (合格的) for an H1-B visa. This means that if you break the law, then the company sponsoring you will share responsibility in one way or another. Some companies might view sponsoring an international student as a legal responsibility. 20 If your goal really is to work in the US in the long run, then the OPT gives you a period of time to prove yourself to the company you’d like to work for.A.They wish to give others a hand.B.How can you apply for a suitable college?C.Thus they may not want to go that extra mile.D.OPT simply stands for Optional Practical Training.E.What if you want to work in the US for longer than that?F.Many students plan to make use of their degrees back home.G.Similar to applying for universities, there are requirements to apply for an H1-B visa.二、完形填空For 35 years, Floyd Martin has delivered the mail to residents in Marietta, Georgia.

Thankfully, she is blessed with good health.I still remember ten years ago when she turned 80, she surprised my brother and me with what she described as “independent birthday”.One day she informed us she'd booked a seven-night trip to Turkey. Alone. Because she had never been. Of course, that was ridiculous. There was no way my brother and I could allow that. A weak, little old lady wandering the streets of Istanbul on her own, not speaking a word of Turkish, with no knowledge of the laws and customs of the land—it was out of the question!She paid no attention to us. Off she went. When she returned, she told us it had been a wonderful success. As it turned out, she had barely spent any time alone, after hiring a taxi driver to show her around Istanbul for some days. He took her to all the sites—the markets, churches and restaurants. He introduced her to a blanket seller, “a lovely fellow,” and she bought some blankets. The seller took her address details and promised to ship them to Canada. They would be arriving in three or four weeks. My mother beamed (眉开眼笑) as she told this story. The blanket seller and my mother apparently built a friendship and she told him to drop by if he were ever in Canada.To our great shock, her blankets did arrive some weeks later, along with a lovely note from the seller Mustafa. To our even greater surprise, the following year Mustafa himself arrived in Canada. He called our mother to inform her he was in Ottawa.“I invited him over and he came by for a cup of tea. They drink a lot of tea in Turkey,” my mother told my horrified brother and me.Her trip of independence seems to be thoughtfully based on a realization that life is to be lived. It reminded me of the line from the movie The Shawshank Redemption: “Get busy living or get busy dying.”4.Why did the author's mother go to Turkey alone?A. To make the author and the brother surprised.B. To celebrate her 80th birthday independently.C. To prepare herself to enter her ninth decade.D.

He is friendly and reliable.7.What can we learn from the text?A. It's never too old to learn.B. East or West, home is best.C. Life should be well lived.D. Time and tide wait for no man.Billionaire Elon Musk on Wednesday announced that he has formed a new artificial intelligence(AI) company, xAI, which has employed researchers from Google, OpenAI and other top technology companies. The goal, Musk tweeted, is “to understand reality.”xAI is a separate company from Musk's other businesses, such as Tesla and Twitter, but will work closely with them, according to the new company's website.mention what projects it will be working on, the company noted that its team of 11 researchers are drawn from top tech companies such as Microsoft Research, OpenAI and Google.Musk suggested that the reason he picked July 12, 2023, to announce the start of xAI is connected with a science fiction(科幻小说) classic, Douglas Adams' “The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.” In his tweet, he noted that adding the date 7-12-23 equals 42, which the work of the fiction famously assumes is the answer to life.“The goal of xAI is to understand the true nature of the universe,” the xAI website states. The company said it will be advised by Dan Hendrycks, director of the Center for AI Safety. Hendrycks pointed out where AI could cause problems. “AIs could be used by bad people to make new deadly bioweapons(生物武器),” Hendrycks said in May. “Or people could make AI that tries to hurt people on purpose. If this AI was really smart, it could be a big danger to all of us.”The first time xAI was shown to the public was after Musk talked about it in April to the former Fox News host Tucker Carlson. Musk told Carlson that OpenAI's ChatGPT was a bitbiased(有偏见的) and that he wanted to create a different tool that would be a super honest AI that tries to learn how everything in the world works.The new company reflected(反映) Musk's long-voiced concerns about a future in which AI systems could present a risk to human existence. The idea, Musk said, is that an AI that wants to understand humanity is less likely to destroy it.8.What does the underlined word “novice” in paragraph 3 mean?A. Boss.B. Coach.C. Partner.D. Beginner.9.Why did Musk announce the start of xAI on July 12, 2023?A. He chose the date to remember a friend.B. He was influenced by a number in a book.C. It was suggested by a writer at his invitation.D. It was the decision of all the 11 researchers of xAI.10.What does Hendrycks think of AI?A. It is quite worrying.B. It is money-making.C. It will not be smarter than humans.D. It can be used to punish bad people. 11.What did Musk say to Carlson?A. It will take time to create a new AI.B. OpenAI's ChatGPT has its advantages.C. Creating an honest AI is his dream.D. It is hard to change people's ideas of AI.The story about horses in North America told in several written histories is in need of an update, according to a new study. After examining archaeological(考古学的) remains(遗骸) of horses, researchers suggest Indigenous peoples(土著居民) had spread the animals through the American West by the first half of the 1600s — before they met Europeans.The findings agree with oral (口述的) histories from Indigenous groups, which tell of interactions(相互作用)with horses before settlers arrived in their homelands. Meanwhile, written European texts from the 1700s and 1800s stated that horses only spread through the area after 1680.Horses first appeared in the Americas around four million years ago, but by about 10,000 years ago, they had mostly disappeared from the record. Spanish settlers likely first brought horses back to the Americas in 1519. According to the new study, Indigenous peoples then transported horses north along trade networksTo find when the animals spread, researchers examined the remains of more than twenty horses discovered across the Western U.S. Rather than simply walking around the countryside on their own, the horses appear to have been part of Native American culture. Signs of teeth problems on one horse and growths on the bones of the head of another suggested people had put bridles(马勒) on the animals. Certain chemical elements(化学元素) in the animals' teeth suggested they ate maize, an Indigenous plant. And another horse had a previously broken facial bone that had fully recovered, meaning it might have received medical treatment.Researchers compared the ancient horses' DNA with that of modern horses and found that the centuries-old horses had largely Spanish origins(血统).Together, the findings suggest horses spread "from Spanish settlements in the American Southwest to the northern Rockies and central Great Plains by the first half of the 17th century.”The findings also highlight the importance of Indigenous oral traditions in understanding history. “Our cultures have been so misunderstood for so long,” says co-author Yvette Collin. “Too often history has been told around us, without us.”12.What needs to be updated according to the new study?A. When horses showed up in the Americas.B. Who introduced horses to North America.C. When Native Americans first met Europeans.D. Who spread horses through the American West.13.What did researchers find out about ancient horses from the remains?A. They had hardly any Spanish origins.B. They were born with tooth disease.C. They played a role in natives' life.D. They were badly treated by natives. 14.What does Collin think of oral histories?A. They spread easily.B. They show the truth.C. They pass down traditions.D. They unite Indigenous groups.15.What is the best title for the text?A. Written texts explain human-horse interactionsB. Oral histories help us understand Indigenous culturesC. New research rewrites the history of American horsesD. Archaeological remains are the key to learning about the past二、阅读补全16.Looking for something to do while waiting for the bus?①_____At 20 stops across Boston until August, you can check out digital books from the library using your smartphone.

The woman looked through the peephole (窥视孔) and saw a man. At first, she thought it was a salesman who might go away. When he didn’t, she decided to answer and see what he wanted.The man asked if a woman named Karen lived at the address. The woman answered that Karen was her mother, but she wasn’t home now. The man smiled, handed an envelope over and then walked away. When the woman saw the contents of the envelope, she was shocked. She then rushed out of the apartment to run after the man, but the stranger was gone.Inside the envelope was $1,000 in cash and a letter explaining where the money was from. “Please accept this gift. My late mother devoted much of her time and resources to helping people through Random (随机的) Acts of Kindness program. One way our family honors her is to keep the tradition with acts of random kindness. Although we do not know you personally, other members of our community identified you as a deserving recipient of this gift. Please use this money in any way you see fit.”Random Acts of Kindness does not have to involve the giving of money. It can be as simple as sharing your time with someone lending an ear, or offering a compliment (赞美). The most important part is that the act is done with no expectation of anything in return.It turned out that Karen had been battling cancer for three years. The illness left her financially struggling and this amount of money would really help her. We truly never know what someone is going through and how much a random act of kindness might help turn their life around. Surely, $1,000 won’t necessarily meet her need, but it can go a very long way in changing someone’s luckand setting them on a better path.24.Why did the man come to the woman’s home?A.To find out the real situation of Karen.B.To donate money to Karen with cancer.C.To ask for the address of a patient he was to help.D.To invite Karen to join Random Acts of Kindness.25.How did the man’s family honor his mother?A.By continuing to offer help to those in need.B.By appealing to more people to help others.C.By starting Random Acts of Kindness program.D.By raising funds for Random Acts of Kindness.26.What does paragraph 4 mainly tell us about Random Acts of Kindness?A.The return it expects.B.The way to sign up for it.C.How it begins.D.How it functions.27.What does the last paragraph intend to convey?A.No pains, no gains.B.Love me, love my dog.C.More love, more hope.D.Faith can move mountains.CBy now we all know the importance of drinking enough water throughout the day, but there is such a thing as too much. Earlier this summer, a 35-year-old Indiana woman, died from water toxicity (毒性作用) after drinking too much water in a short period of time, according to a local news report.While drinking enough water is important, overdoing it can lead to low levels of sodium (钠) in the blood, which can be life-threatening, according to Julia Zumpano, an expert at Cleveland Clinic’s Center for Human Nutrition.Exactly how much is enough for our body depends on a variety of factors, including our weight, age, location and overall health. People in poor health, or active people such as athletes, are at risk of water toxicity, as they tend to drink large amounts of water and lose sodium through their sweat (出汗). So are women and children because of their smaller body size.While the gold standard for many years has been eight glasses of 8 ounces (盎司) of water per day, the National Academy of Medicine suggests enough water intake is about 125 ounces for men and about 91 ounces for women. And it recommends not drinking more than 48 ounces of water per hour. This includes total water from fruits, vegetables and other drinks besides water.If you struggle with getting enough water per day, you can try water bottles to help track your water intake. Eating fruits and vegetables can also increase your water intake. You could experiment with adding flavor to improve the taste of your water and encourage drinking.“Most people had better keep drinking water throughout the day, but larger amounts may be needed in the heat for an extended period of time or during exercise. If you are thirsty for water—listen to your body. But don’t overdo it,” says Zumpano.28.How does the author introduce the topic of the text?A.By giving an example.B.By showing the findings.C.By making a comparison.D.By putting up a question.29.What effect may drinking too much water have on us?A.Putting on weight.B.Speeding up aging.C.Making us more active.D.Cutting sodium in blood.30.What do we know from paragraph 4?A.We must drink less than 48 ounces of water a day.B.Women can take in more water than men an hour.C.We’d better drink about 64 ounces of water every day.D.We can’t take in any water from fruits and vegetables.31.What can be the best title for the text?A.What is the result of water toxicity?B.How much water is too much water?C.Why do you find it difficult to drink enough water?D.How often need we remind ourselves to drink water?DAntarctic blue whales have been perceived again in the sub-Antarctic island of South Georgia. An international-team of researchers discovered the animals five decades after whaling (捕鲸业)nearly caused them to disappear forever. "The ocean resources at South Georgia were heavily developed during the early 20th-century industrial whaling," says lead author Susannah Calderan, an ecologist with the Scottish Association for Marine Science.Antarctic blue whales were plentiful in the area until whaling began there in 1904, kicking off the beginning of industrial whaling in the Southern Ocean. While hunters originally focused on species that could be easily caught, like the humpback whale, the focus quickly moved to the blue whale. Between 1904 and 1973, 345,775 Antarctic blue whales were killed in the Southern hemisphere (半球) and in the northern Indian Ocean. Around South Georgia, blue whale catches were reported year-round without stopping. Between 1904 and 1971, industrial whaling caused 42,698 blue whales' death. Blue whales almost disappeared in these areas.Researchers studied all Antarctic blue whale data from the last three decades. They examined sightings (目睹) from scientific surveys collected by observers on ships, as well as opportunistic sightings reported by seamen and ship passengers to the South Georgia. They also examined acoustic (声音的) recordings of blue whale.They found that whale surveys from ships off South Georgia resulted in just one blue whale sighting between 1998 and 2018. But more recent surveys suggest better news. A survey in February of 2020 found nearly 60 blue whale sightings, and several acoustic detections (探测). A total of 41 blue whales have been recognized through photos from South Georgia between 2011 and 2020."Their return is very meaningful, as it was widely thought that blue whales at South Georgia might have been hunted beyond a point where they could recover, and might never be seen again in great numbers at South Georgia," Calderan says. "Our research shows that, populations can recover even from very low levels if they're given enough protection."32. What does the underlined word "perceived" in paragraph 1 mean?A. Kept.B. Found.C. Hunted.D. Destroyed.33. What does paragraph 2 mainly want to tell us?A. The development of industrial whaling.B. The cause of blue whales' disappearance.C. The wide spread of blue whales in the past.D. The skills of catching blue whales easily.34. What did the researchers find through their surveys in South Georgia?A. There is an increasing return of blue whales.B. Blue whales are in a more dangerous situation.C. More and more people like watching blue whales.D. South Georgia is a good place to watch blue whales.35. What might be discussed in the following paragraph?A. The risk of killing whales at higher rates.B. The sign of Antarctic blue whales' return.C. The way of protecting Antarctic blue whales.D. The effect of the great loss of ocean resources.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.选项中有两项为多余选项.It is easy to keep your spirits(情绪;心境)bright when life is going along smoothly and good news seems to turn up at every turn.

Her family had just moved here from San Francisco, having bought a small restaurant, which was set to open in the next few days.“Moving here was a stupid idea,” Jenny complained mostly to herself.“What’s that?” her mother asked, opening a box and lifting out several pots.“Nothing,” Jenny mumbled (咕哝). The girl had been angry about the move, but her parents had made the decision and were now too busy getting ready for the grand opening to listen to her complaints.The first few days at her new school hadn’t been easy, either. She found it hard to talk to people she didn’t know, and it seemed like the students hadn’t even noticed her. Jenny sighed and got back to washing dishes.On the day of the grand opening, Jenny’s parents were all smiles, welcoming customers into the restaurant, brightly decorated in gold and red. Even Jenny was happy as she rushed around, seating guests, handing out menus, and pouring tall glasses of water. This was a big day for her family.At one of the tables sat a family with two daughters who were about Jenny’s age. As she filled their glasses, Jenny realized the twins were in her class. Jenny lowered her head down so her long hair covered her face, and she turned away from the table.Jenny’s mother found her soon after, in the kitchen loading the dishwasher.“Honey, what are you doing back here? We need you out front with the customers.”“Mom, I don’t want to be out there. There are kids from school!”“So?” her mother asked. “That’s good! Go to take them some fortune cookies and say hello!” she said to Jenny, pointing at the fortune cookies paper which read, “Many friends are found with a single smile.”第一节根据文本内容从方框中选择恰当的词并用其正确形式填入文本图示中,每词限用一次,有两词为多余选项(每小题1分,共10分)第二节根据文本内容回答下列问题.(10分)第五部分写作(满分20 分)假定你是李华,你校将举办艺术节,请写封邮件邀请你的英国朋友Peter参加,内容包括:1.艺术节安排(时间、地点、活动);2.邀请他表演节目.注意:1.词数80左右;2.可适当增加细节,以使行文连贯;3.开头和结尾已给出,不计入总词数.Dear Peter,____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Yours,Li Hua答案听力部分:1-5 BACCB 6-10 ABCAC 11-15 ABABC 16-20 ABABC阅读理解:21—23 DCB 24—27 BADC28—31 ADCB 32-35 BBAC七选五:36-40 DFGCA完形填空:41—55 ADBDC 46—50 BBDCA 51—55 BADAC语法填空:56.cultural; 57.who/that; 58.a; 59.their; 60.On; 61.applied; 62.to save;63.chatting; 64.is; 65.less任务型阅读答案:(第一节)选词填空66. bought 67. angry 68. difficult 69.welcomed 70.happy 71. pouring 72. sat 73.recognized 74. went 75.take(第二节)简答题1.

They usually happen in summer.However, climate change (long-term changes to weather patterns, mostly 2 (cause) by human activities such as burning fossil fuels, farming and cutting down forests) is increasing the chance of heat waves happening and making then more extreme. The current hot weather is even 3 (much) extreme in some European countries — temperatures in southern Spain have reached 46℃.Heat waves can be a danger to people’s health, especially for vulnerable groups such as the elderly, children and people 4 certain health conditions. However, anyone 5 suffer from the effects of extreme heat, including dehydration (not having enough water) and heatstroke (a condition caused by the body overheating). A group of leading UK scientists have recommended that heat waves 6 (name) in order to raise awareness of the health risks.The Met Office, the UK’s national weather service, has issued an amber warning. Temperatures are expected 7 (rise) to 35℃, and there have been predictions 8 the record for the UK’s hottest day could be broken. Government officials have met to discuss whether to introduce a heat wave emergency.To cope with hot weather, the NHS (National Health Service) says people should try to keep out of the Sun between 11 am and 3 pm, 9 temperatures are at their highest and the sun is strongest. Make sure you wear a hat, 10 (apply) sunscreen under the sunlight and drink plenty of water. If you are swimming outdoors to cool down, make sureyou’re with a trusted adult and follow local safety advice.二、选用适当的单词或短语补全短文Golden Rules of Good DesignWhat makes good design? Over the years, designers and artists have been trying to 11 the essentials of good design. They have found that some sayings can help people understand the ideas of good design. There are four as follows.Less is more. This saying is associated with the German-born architect Mies van der Rohe. In his Modernist view, beauty lies in simplicity and elegance, and the aim of the designer is to create solutions to problems through the most efficient means. Design should avoid unnecessary 12More is not a bore. The American-born architect Robert Venturi concluded that if simplicity is done badly, the result is 13 design. Post-Modernist designers began to 14 with decoration and color again. Product design was heavily influenced by this view and can be seen in kitchen 15 such as ovens and kettles.Fitness for purpose. Successful product design takes into consideration a product’s function, purpose, shape, form, color, and so on. The most important result for the user is that the product does what is 16 . For example, think of a(n) 17 desk lamp. It needs to be constructed from materials that will stand the heat of the lamp and regular adjustments by the user. It also needs to be stable. Most importantly, it needs to 18 light where it is needed. Form follows emotion. This phrase is associated with the German designer Hartmut Esslinger. He believes design must take into 19 the sensory side of our nature——sight, smell touch and taste. These are as important as rational. When choosing everyday products such as toothpaste, we appreciated a cool-looking device that allows us to easily 20 the toothpaste onto our brush.三、完形填空The beauty, majesty, and timelessness of a primary rainforest are indescribable. It ishad the awe-inspiring experience of standing in the heart of a primary rainforest.Rainforests have 22 over millions of years to turn into the incredibly complex environments they are today. Rainforests represent a store of living and 23 renewable natural resources that for an immeasurably long period of time, by virtue of their richness in both animal and plant species, have 24 a wealth of resources for the survival and well-being of humankind. These resources have included basic food supplies, clothing, shelter, fuel, spices, industrial raw materials, and medicine for all those who have lived in the majesty of the forest. 25 , the inner dynamics (动力学;相互作用的方式) of a tropical rainforest is a complex and fragile system. Everything is so 26 that upsetting one part can lead to unknown damage or even destruction of the whole. Sadly, it has taken only a century of human intervention to destroy what nature designed to 27 forever.The scale of human 28 on ecosystems everywhere has increased enormously in the last few decades. Since 1980 the global economy has tripled in size and the world population has increased by 30 percent. Consumption of everything on the planet has risen — at a cost to our 29 . In 2001, The World Resources Institute estimated that the demand for rice, wheat, and corn is expected to grow by 40% by 2025, increasing irrigation water demands by 50% or more. They further reported that the demand for wood could double by the year 2050; 30 , it is still the tropical forests of the world that supply the most part of the world’s demand for wood.In 1950, about 15 percent of the Earth’s land surface was covered by rainforest. Today, more than half has already gone up in 31 . In fewer than fifty years, about half of the world’s tropical rainforests have fallen 32 to fire or deforestation, and the rate of destruction is still 33 . Unbelievably, more than 200,000 acres of rainforest are burned every day. That is more than 150 acres lost every minute of every day, and 78 million acres lost every year! More than 20 percent of the Amazon rainforest is already gone, and much more is severely 34 as the destruction continues. If nothing is done to control this 35 , the entire Amazon could well be gone within fifty years. Fewer rainforests mean lessrain, less oxygen for us to breathe, and an increased threat from global warming. 21.A.establish B.claim C.capture D.prove 22.A.extended B.evolved C.expanded D.resolved 23.A.energizing B.healing C.isolating D.breathing 24.A.destroyed B.contributed C.reduced D.affected 25.A.However B.Furthermore C.Therefore D.Otherwise 26.A.active B.positive C.interdependent D.dominant 27.A.restore B.support C.relieve D.last 28.A.pressure B.resources C.concern D.strengths 29.A.existence B.ecosystem C.species D.survival 30.A.unfortunately B.consequently C.naturally D.similarly 31.A.store B.food C.smoke D.wealth 32.A.subject B.down C.apart D.victim 33.A.running out B.going up C.holding back D.falling down 34.A.released B.revealed C.threatened D.boosted 35.A.trend B.practice C.intention D.attitude四、阅读理解Seasickness and sunburn. Taking care of old people in different situations. My medical friends did their best to persuade me. Everyone said that running away to sea would ruin my career. But after five sleep-deprived (睡眠不足的) years working as a junior doctor, I was willing to take the risk.Hungry for adventure, I boarded a bright white ship in Singapore. With 2,000 passengers and crew, she was the size of a small town.To my relief, the hospital was well equipped, with an X-ray machine and a blood analyzer.That first cruise (航行) was a learning experience, a tight schedule full of safety drills (演习). There was so much new information to take in. Even remembering which of the uniforms to wear each day was a challenge. Most confusing, I often forgot to change my clock when the ship crossed time zones.As a doctor, I was responsible for the 600 crew including waiters, engineers, cooks andnavigators (领航员), and I was on call (随时待命的) for the entire ship.Far from treating seasickness and sunburn, as I’d been warned, my patients were wide and varied. The ship’s medical center was essentially a floating emergency room, but we didn’t have a team of specialists on hand for a second opinion. With long and unpredictable hours, it required mental toughness.As you can guess, many of the passengers were elderly. Heart attacks don’t care about geography and emergency evacuations (疏散) were difficult to arrange.I recall one such patient, who was taken off the ship on a stretcher (担架) halfway through the Panama Canal. After a terrifying ride in the back of an old ambulance, I was relieved that the patient survived long enough to arrive at the hospital in Panama City.Thankfully, there were several unexpected benefits to the job. I regularly enjoyed the passenger facilities, including the gym, spa and deck buffet (甲板自助餐). I even hosted my own table of passengers in the evenings. On rare days off, I volunteered as a tour guide on trips ashore (在陆地). I got to fly over Alaska in a seaplane and watched a ballet in St Petersburg.I now understand that being a cruise ship doctor is not a job — it’s a way of life.One year at sea became two. I lost my career ambitions, but I redefined happiness in my life.36.What can we know about the author’s first cruise?A.She missed her job as a doctor.B.She enjoyed a relaxing lifestyle.C.She had to learn a lot of things.D.She often felt confused about her job duties.37.Why does the author mention the patient who was sent to the hospital in Panama City?A.To tell that it was difficult to look after old patients.B.To prove that being a cruise ship doctor is more tiring.C.To stress the importance of a well-equipped hospital on the ship.D.To show it was challenging to handle emergency situations on the ship.38.What is Paragraph 9 mainly about?A.The author’s experience as a tour guide.B.The advantages of being a cruise ship doctor.C.The loneliness of being the ship’s only doctor.D.Various facilities for passengers on the cruise ship.39.What does the author think of her experience as a cruise ship doctor?A.It was too stressful to tolerate.B.It helped her build a better career.C.It changed her understanding of happiness.D.It provided opportunities to make more friends.Are You a Moring Person?Mornings are not for everyone. Knowing that our own bodies may be wired to prefer a certain time of day is certainly a relief. But many of us still have to wake up and function during those first daylight hours. So what can you do?We tapped a variety of experts - from sleep experts to nutritionists to life organizational pros (生活管理达人) — to share their tricks on how to make morning less stressful and more pleasant for even the most after-hours of night owls.1. Night wakingPoor sleep quality can explain why we sometimes wake up from eight hours of snoozing and feel like we only clocked in at four. “It’s normal to have one or two awakenings, but more than that leaves us feeling groggy (昏昏沉沉) in the morning because of the fragmented sleep,” explains Shelby Harris, director of the behavioral sleep medicine program at Montefiore Medical Center.2. The Science of snoozingThe snooze button does more harm than good. Nodding off again sends you into a light and fragmented sleep! Multiple snoozes can leave you feeling groggier than just getting out of bed the first time. Instead, be honest about the time you intend to get up and then enjoy every last minute of sleep, so you can wake up alert and ready to go.3. Don’t ease into your workdayIt can be tempting to plow through the easy things early on—checking e-mail, scanning the headlines—but it’s wise to tackle the bigger stuff first. “Getting to work on the most important tasks not only ups the chances that they actually get done, but it also leaves you with a burst of accomplishment to take with you the rest of the day,” says Jason Selk, coauthor of Organize Tomorrow Today.4. Save social media for laterSchedule a social media block later in the afternoon to check in when you’re likely toneed a break anyway, and save the morning for the important stuff.40.What’s the purpose of the passage?A.To help us to get the most out of our mornings.B.To relieve us from the guilt of multiple snoozes in the morning.C.To warn us of the harm of not getting out of bed immediately.D.To inform us about the fact that our bodies are wired to prefer a certain time of day. 41.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A.One or two awakenings ensure us a good night’s sleep.B.To be an early bird, better forget about the snooze button.C.It’s important not to block social medium if you want to save your morning.D.Beginning a day with easy things aroused our interest and a sense of accomplishment. 42.Where can we find the passage?A.Classified Advertisement B.Travel BrochureC.Life and Study D.Scientific JournalWe all have a tendency to fake laugh, particularly when authority figures in our lives try to make a joke that just doesn’t land. Though it might feel rude not to laugh when your in-laws or boss try to say something funny, pretending to do so might not be much better. It turns out, even if you think that your forced laughing sounds genuine, people are usually pretty good at separating truly spirited belly laughs from fake ones. But how can they possible know the difference?Well, when researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles studied the acoustic and perceptual differences between real and fake laughter, they found that some of the sounds associated with genuine laughter is “really hard to fake.” In their study, the researchers determined that subjects were only fooled by 37 percent of fake laughter.The most prominent factor distinguishing real laughter from fake laughter is duration --or, more specifically, the number of breaths taken in in between sounds. Seeing as it takes more effort and concentration to fake a laugh as opposed to do it genuinely, people tend to pause more in between their “ha-ha’s” when they’re faking it. Evidently, that pausing is pretty noticeable.“A fake laugh is basically an imitation of a real laugh, but produced with a slightly different set of vocal muscles controlled by a different part of our brain,” Greg Bryant, thelead UCLA researcher on the study, explained. “The result is that there are subtle features of the laugh that sound like speech, and ... people are unconsciously quite sensitive to them.”People have also proven to be emotionally sensitive to laughter as well. “Our rains are very sensitive to the social and emotional significance of laughter,” said Carolyn McGettigan, a scientist at Royal Holloway, University of London.McGettigan conducted a 2014 study that recorded participants’ brain responses as they listened to the same people produce genuine laughter by watching funny videos, as opposed to fake laughter. “During our study, when participants heard a laugh that was posed, they activated regions of the brain associated with mentalizing in an attempt to understand the other person’s emotional and mental state,” she said.So, while we may understand that certain social situations sometimes require fake laughter, most of the time, our instincts and emotional intelligence are just too smart to buy into them.According to McGettigan, that’s a good thing. “Evolutionarily speaking, it’s good to be able to detect if someone is authentically experiencing an emotion or if they’re not,” she said. “Because you don’t want to be fooled.”43.What do researchers at the University of California want to find out in this study?A.What is the difference between a fake laugh and a real one.B.Which part of the brain controls the sound of our laughter.C.Why do people need to fake laugh when they don’t want to.D.How to laugh as genuinely as possible when you are faking it.44.Your forced laughing is more noticeable than you think, mainly because_______.A.you seem more concentrated when you laugh for realB.you take more breaths when you try to fake a laughC.a fake laugh often happens after a sudden pauseD.a real laugh usually lasts longer than a fake one45.Which of the following is true according to Greg Bryant?A.Real laughter is not at all controllable by our brain.B.People may notice fake laughter without knowing why.C.People use the same set of muscles to laugh and to speak.D.Faking laugh shares the same techniques as making speech.46.What has Carolyn McGettigan’s 2014 study proven?A.Certain social situations may require us to fake a laugh.B.Evolution has enabled us to recognize other’s emotions.C.By instincts, we are able to tell a person’s mental state.D.We can sense other’s emotional state when they laugh.五、六选四Early Childhood EducationEarly childhood education is the formal teaching and care of young children. It primarily focuses on learning through playing to encourage children’s different kinds of development.47Studies with Head Start programs throughout the United States have shown some evidence that there are quite a few advantages to early childhood education, which can produce significant gains in children’s learning and development. Compared with a child who does not attend pre-school, children completing their early education programs are found to be better at math and reading skills. They are excited to learn and have the tools to do so.48 These children are more competent in their pre-school, kindergarten and school-age years, and they are usually reported as “friendlier” by parents and the children’s peers.49 In studies with matched control groups, more students who had early schooling experiences were employed at the age of 19, fewer were on welfare, and fewer were involved with the criminal activity. What’s more, some studies show that children attending pre-school are more likely to graduate and have higher education, and be well integrated as an adult.Early childhood education gives most children a jump-start on education for their kindergarten and primary school years. It is clear that early childhood education do a lot of good to children. 50 If early childhood education is less effective, perhaps the best model is finding strategies for allowing a parent to stay home with his or her child for at least the first two to three years. Also important is considering a child’s own personality. Individual differences in children mean that not all children will get equal benefits from early childhood education.A.The long-term influence of early education is significant as well.B.They can benefit greatly from encouragement in their early childhood.C.Yet its quality must be assessed to see what kind of benefits it actually provides.D.They are also able to relate to others in a superior way and that improves their social skills.E.Many experts of education, however, are concerned about what early childhood education means today.F.It consists of activities that serve children in the pre-school years and is designed to improve later school performance.六、概要写作51.Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.What Is Zero Waste?The goal of the “zero waste” movement is to get rid of all waste from products. “Zero waste” means using every part of a product. Today, the zero waste idea can be found everywhere from food to fashion.Creating a zero waste restaurant is a challenge. It is very difficult to use every part of produce and leave nothing behind. Creating a soup from unused ingredients is a popular way to use up extra food items. Other ways are more advanced. Some restaurants use coffee grounds(咖啡渣)to flavor dishes. Some cooks also crush shrimp shells and reuse them in sauces. While it’s challenging, zero waste restaurants appear to be on the rise.In the fashion industry, zero waste isn’t a new idea. But in today’s world of fast fashion, zero waste is growing more popular. Usually, cutting cloth creates lots of waste. In zero waste fashion, designers try to avoid this. One way to do so is by adding these extra pieces of cloth to the final design. Another way is to design clothing without wasteful cuts.Beyond restaurants and fashion, there are many other possibilities for zero waste products. All restaurants need utensils(器皿). Bakey’s is a company that is developing edible (可食用的)utensils. After using them, you can eat them! Their spoons are made of flour and come in all kinds of flavors. While these spoons are not hard enough to cut meat, they are perfect for rice dishes. Meanwhile, Air New Zealand is experimenting with edible coffee cups that are made by the company Twice. They have already introduced a line of flavored cups. After you finish your coffee, you eat the cup, just like a cookie!Whether products are made to be edible or reusable, hopefully the movement will helpreduce waste all over the world._______________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ ________________________七、汉译英(整句)52.性格温和的人也会在特定场合下发牌气。

AUNESCO World Heritage Sites were created to celebrate and safeguard the most unique places around the world. Below are my 4 favorite UNESCO World Heritage Sites.Cinque Terre, ItalyWith cars banned here, you’ll really get to feel the unique history and character of the Cinque Terre’s five centuriesold coastal villages. The breathtaking views of harbors(港口)far below the wild coastline along with the rich colors will definitely make it a memorable holiday.Angkor Wat, CambodiaAngkor Wat is the world’s largest religious(宗教的)monument and it contains impressive remains from the Khmer Empire(9th to 15th century). The site has dozens of iconic temples like Ta Prohm(a magnificent temple ruin hidden in the jungle). Hosting more than two million visitors annually, this artistic masterpiece is a mustsee site.Petra, JordanPetra’s rockcut architecture has contributed to its nickname, the Rose City, based on the color of the stone it was carved from. The delicate constructions of temples and tombs along with the remains of churches and temples are only a couple of reasons why this worldfamous site is a mustvisit destination.Yellowstone National Park, USAYellowstone’s vast wilderness includes mountain ranges, lakes and waterfalls. One of the main reasons for tourists to visit Yellowstone is to observe the amazing wildlife like grizzly bear, bison, bighorn sheep wander the plains and valleys.For a daily moment of travel inspiration, click here to follow me.21.

Religious relics.C. Coastal villages.D. Amazing wildlife.23. Where is the text probably from?A. A news report.B. A wildlife brochure.C. A travel blog.D. A culture guidebook.BWhen I handed my daughter a copy of King of the Wind by Marguerite Henry, she looked skeptical. Shereluctantly agreed to read it with me after I told her it was one of my favorite stories when I was her age, and her skepticism quickly morphed into enthusiasm as she fell in love with the book.Watching her connect to the story brought back a flood of memories about my first time reading the book. It was like introducing my daughter to a much younger version of myself. I highly remend other parents share their favorite childhood books, a sweet activity with lots of benefits.Every night, I sit on the end of my daughters’beds and read them the stories I’ve cherished for decades. This distractionfree time gives my kids the chance to ask questions about the book we’re reading, the “olden days” when I was a kid, and whatever else is on their minds.My 9yearold especially adores this time together and the deeper connection she feels to her family because of it. Reading her a book that holds significant meaning for me brings us together in a whole new way.There’s nothing better than watching my kids’ reactions to books I’ve loved my entire life. They chattered with excitement when Charlie found his golden ticket in Roald Dahl’s classic and pulled the covers over their blushing faces when Almanzo asked Laura if he could walk her home in the Little House series.In these moments, it feels like I’m reaching through time and connecting my childhood with theirs.Every generation has books that define them. For my kids, it’s mostly fantasy and realistic fiction. By reading my childhood favorites to them, my kids step outside their fort zones and try new genres, authors, and writing styles. My 9yearold didn’t know she loved folklore until we read my favorite collection of Japanese children’s stories together. My 11yearold became obsessed with wilderness survival stories when I read Scott O’Dell’s Island of the Blue Dolphins to her.24. Which can best replace the underlined word in the first paragraph?A. changedB. translatedC. builtD. burnt25. How does reading together influence the author and his daughters?A. They don t understand each other.B. They forget their unhappiness in the past.C. They bee closer to each other.D. They get bored with each other.26. What are the kids’responses to the books the author loved in his childhood?A. They are excited and pleased.B. They are bored but curious.C. They are astonished and sad.D. They are uninterested but grateful.27. What can we infer about the author from the last paragraph?A. He burdens his children by reading.B. He helps his children find their interests.C. He fails to get his children out of fantasy.D. He prefers to read children’s books.CWhen international aid is given, steps must be taken to ensure(确保)that the aid reaches the people for whom it is intended. The way to achieve this may not be simple. It is very difficult for a nation to give help directly to people in another nation. The United Nations Organization(UNO)could undertake to direct the distribution of aid. Herehowever rises the problem of costs. Also tied with this is time. Perhaps the UNO could set up a body of devoted men and women in every country who can speedily distribute aid to victims of floods and earthquakes.More than the help that one nation can give to another during a disaster, it would be more effective to give other forms of help during normal times. A mon proverb says, “Give me a fish and I eat for a day, teach me to fish and I eat for a lifetime.” If we follow this wise saying, it would be right to teach people from less developed nations to take care of themselves. For example, a country could share its technology with another. This could be in simple areas like agriculture or in more plex areas like medical and health care or even in building satellites. Even small country is able to help less developed nations. Sometimes what is taken for granted, like the setting up of a water purification plant or the administration of a school, could be useful for countries which are looking about to solve mon problems. It does not cost much to share such simple things. Exchange students could be attached for a number of months or years and learn the required craft while on the site. They can then take their knowledge back to their homelands and if necessary e back from time to time to clear doubts or to update themselves. Such aid will be truly helpful and there is no chance of it being temporary or of it falling into the wrong hands.Many countries run extensive courses in all sorts of skills. It will not cost much to include deserving foreigners in these courses. Besides giving effective help to the countries concerned, there is also the buildup of friendships to consider. Giving direct help by giving materials may be effective in the short run and must continue to be given in the event of emergencies. However, in the long run what is really effective would be the sharing of knowledge.28. According to the author, how could international aid reach the victims in time?A. By solving the cost problems.B. By solving the transportation problems.C. By setting up a body of devoted people in every country.D. By relying on the direct distribution of the UNO.29. What does the author try to express in the underlined sentence?A. Providing food is vital.B. Learning to fish is helpful.C. Teaching skills is essential. D Looking after others is important.30. Which aid is likely to fall into the wrong hands?A. A medical team.B. An exchange program.C. A water plant.D. Financial support.31. What can we infer about international aid from the passage?A. It is facing difficulties.B. It is unnecessary during normal times.C. It should be given in the form of materials.D. It has gained support from developed countries.DThe curb cut(路缘坡)is a convenience that most of us rarely, if ever, notice. Yet, without it, daily life might be a lot harder—in more ways than one.Pushing a baby stroller onto the curb, skateboarding onto a sidewalk or taking a full grocery cart from the sidewalk to your car—all these tasks are easier because of the curb cut.But it was created with a different purpose in mind.It’s hard to imagine today, but back in the 1970s, most sidewalks in the United States ended with a sharp dropoff. That was a big deal for people in wheelchairs because there were no ramps(斜坡)to help them move along city blocks without assistance. According to one disability rights leader, a sixinch curb “might as well have been Mount Everest” for wheelchairbound people. So, activists from Berkeley, California, who also needed wheelchairs, organized a campaign to create tiny ramps at intersections to help disadvantaged people dependent on wheels move up and down curbs independently.I think about the “curb cut effect” a lot when working on issues around health equality. The first time I even heard about the curb cut was in a 2017 Stanford Social Innovation Review piece by PolicyLink CEO Angela Blackwell. Blackwell rightly noted that many people see equality as “a zerosum game(零和游戏)”. Basically, there is a deeply rooted social belief among them that intentionally supporting one group hurts another. What the curb cut effect reveals though, Blackwell said is that “when societycreates the circumstances that allow those who have been left behind to participate and contribute fully, everyone wins.”One such example is closed captioning(字幕), originally intended to help deaf people understand movies and TV shows without needing to hear dialogue or sounds. But it’s easy to think of other applications for closed captioning: it’s convenient for customers watching TV in a noisy bar or gym, secondlanguage learners who want to read as well as listen, or students who use it as a study aid.So, next time you cross the street, or roll your suitcase through a crosswalk or ride your bike directly onto a sidewalk—think about how much the curb cut, that change in design that broke down walls of exclusion for one group of people at a disadvantage, has helped not just that group, but all of us.32. What does the underlined quote imply concerning a sixinch curb?A. It is an unforgettable symbol.B. It is an impassable barrier.C. It is an important sign.D. It is an impressive landmark.33. According to Angela Blackwell, what do many people believe?A. It’s not worthwhile to promote health equality.D It’s necessary to go all out to help the disabled.C. It’s impossible to have everyone treated equally.D. It’s fair to give the disadvantaged more help than others.34. Which of the following examples best illustrates the “curb cut effect” principle?A. The four great inventions of ancient China spread to other countries in the world.B. Reading machines for blind people help build the digital maps drivers use to navigate.C. Your reaching out to the disadvantaged contributes to more people doing it.D. A butterfly flapping its wings in one country leads to a Tornado in another country.35. What is the main idea of the text?A. The curb cut is a convenient ramp designed to benefit the disabled.B. Everyone in a society should be treated equally.C. Supporting disadvantaged groups often ends up benefiting much larger ranges of society.D. How disability rights activists fought for equality that changed the life of his followers.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填入空白处的最佳选项。

The kids didn't laugh about his name, but they all played baseball and had lunch together without him. That was the whole problem. No one saw him or talked to himor even knew he was there.So when Telesforo went to school this morning, his head was bowed and his feet kicked at anything on the sidewalk.As usual, his teacher Mrs Benson read to the class from the newspaper, and today Telesforo was surprised when she read about the US Mint (铸币厂) making five special coins every year to honor each of the 50 states.He knew all about those shiny new state coins. He and his dad collected them. Dad gave him a small album to hold them. By the end of the year, Telesforo would have all 50. By the time he was ready for bed that night, he decided to take his coins to school tomorrow.The next day, when the kids settled, Telesforo opened his album and held it high for the class to see. “These are the coins Mrs Benson read about. And this is John Muir on the California coin,〞he said, pointing. “Muir wanted to save the wilderness.〞 Telesforo spoke rapidly as he explained the designs: North Carolina and the first airplane flight. South Dakota, with four presidents carved on Mount Rushmore.“How can I get some of these coins? Why don't we meet after school?〞 Josh asked. “And Tel can explain everything we need to know.〞Tel? Josh just called him Tel? Like they knew he existed? Like they were longtime friends? Telesforo held his album and smiled. So he did have friends.4.Why didn't Telesforo want to go to school at first?A.Because he wasn't good at playing baseball.B.Because his teacher didn't like him asking questions.C.Because his classmates were cold to him.D.Because his classmates laughed at him.5.From whom did Telesforo get the idea to make friends with his new classmates?A.His father.

A.glad B.angry C.nervous D.ashamedCChina is a land of bicycles. At least it was back in 1992 when I traveled the country. Back then everyone seemed to be riding a bicycle. Millions of them, all black. Cars were rare. Yet since my arrival in Beijing last year, I've found the opposite is true. There are millions of cars. However, people still use their bicycles to get around. For many, it's the easiest and cheapest way to travel today. Bicycles also come in different colors—silver, green, red, blue, yellow, whatever you want.It's fun watching people biking. They rush quickly through crossroads, move skillfully through traffic, and ride even on sidewalks(人行道). Bicycles allow people the freedom to move about that cars just can't provide.Eager to be part of this aspect of Chinese culture, I decided to buy a bicycle. Great weather accompanied(陪伴) my great buy. I immediately jumped up on my bicycle seat and started home.My first ride home was orderly(守秩序的). To be safe, I stayed with a “pack〞of bikers while cars on the streets came running swiftly out of nowhere at times.I didn't want to get hit. So I took the ride carefully. Crossing the streets was the biggest problem. It was a lot like crossing a major highway back in the United States. The streets here were wide, so crossing took time, skill and alittle bit of luck.I finally made it home. The feeling on the bicycle was amazing. The airhitting my face and going through my hair was wonderful. I was sitting on top of the world as I passed by places and people. Biking made me feel alive.8. According to the author, why are bicycles still popular in China today?A. Because they are traditional and safe.B. Because they are convenient and not expensive.C. Because they are colorful and available.D. Because they are fast and environment friendly.9 The author decided to buy a bicycle because he intended _______.A. to ride it for funB. to use it for transportC. to experience local cultureD. to improve his ridingskills10. How did the author feel about his street crossing?A. It was boring.B. It was difficult.C. It was lively.D. It was wonderful.11. Which of the following best describes the author's biking experience?A. The author enjoyed showing off his biking skills.B. The author was annoyed by the air while riding.C. The author was praised by the other bikers.D. The author took great pleasure in biking.DThe history of civil engineering (土木工程) is a very important story in the development of civilization (文明). Civil engineers began practising their profession four thousand years ago.What is left of their work is the proof that they were wise. These engineers of the ancient world built entire cities. They designed systems of pipes which supplied fresh water. They built water pipelines for farmlands as well as bridges of great length. The relics of their buildings tell us much about the work of early engineers.Consider the pyramids(金字塔) of Egypt. They are evidence that some of the earliest engineers had great scientific ability. There is also evidence that those engineers could make lasting work of art and design. Although they lived thousands of years ago, the Egyptian engineers used very exact measurements. The base of the largest pyramid—the Great Pyramid near Giza—comes to within inches of being a perfect square. The pyramid is perfectly placed. Each corner points toward the exact directions of north, south, east and west. The inside of the pyramid is filled with complicated (复杂的) passages (通道). These lead to different rooms inside the pyramid. Many of these passages are of great length and height.The engineers of Egypt did more than design the pyramids. They also set up methods of moving and shaping the building materials. These materials were very heavy. They had to be brought from miles away and sometimes lifted several hundred feet. During the work the engineers commanded thousands of workers. The pyramids remain as evidence of the abilities of the ancient Egyptian engineers.12.The civil engineers of ancient times were wise enough to build entire cities, including ____ .A.systems of pipes, bridges and machineryB.pipeline systems, bridges and farmlandsC.water supply systems, bridges and pipelinesD.water supply systems, bridges and stadiums13. Which of the following is not true about the Great Pyramid of Egypt?A. It was exactly measured.B. It is near Giza.C. Its base is a square.D. It has rooms of great height. 14.From the passage we know that ________ .A.building materials were broken into small piecesB.there were no requirements for the size and shape of building materials C.Egyptian engineers were not concerned with the size and shape of building materialsD.building materials were processed (加工) to meet certain requirements15. What is the purpose of this text?A. To introduce to us how the pyramids of Egypt was built.B. To tell us how to move materials in the ancient times.C. To show that the ancient engineers made great contributions in the development of civilization.D. To introduce some great works in the ancient times.第二节〔一共5小题;每一小题2分,满分是10分〕根据短文内容,从短文后的选项里面选出能填入空白处的最正确选项。

辽宁省名校联盟2023-2024学年高一上学期12月月考英语试题学校:___________姓名:___________班级:___________考号:___________一、阅读选择Interested in building a school yard habitat? Here’s how to get started.Gather a team.Students can do a lot on their own, but you’ll need adults for a project this big. Get teachers, parents, and even the headmaster interested. Don’t forget the maintenance staff—they know more about your school’s yard than anyone else and can give you lots of help.Map your site.Which part of the schoolyard can you turn into a habitat? Is there an unused corner of the playground? You’ll need to make a map of the area showing what is there now. Then you can figure out how you want to change it. For that, you need a plan.Plan a habitat.Here’s what you’ll need to make your area attractive to wildlife.Food: Plant flowers and trees. These provide foods for birds, insects, and small animals. You can also add some feeders for birds. Where possible, stick with native plants-wild plants that grow naturally in your area. They need less care, which means less work for you.Water: A small pond, a bird bath, or even a dish of clean water on the ground will attract birds.Shelter: Trees make great escapes for birds. Tall grass and weeds are home to insects and some birds.Reach for resources.To make the habitat happen, you’ll need lots of plants, seeds, and other supplies. You’ll also need to buy or borrow tools and maybe even some heavy tools. Now’s the time to reach out for donations(捐赠). Start by asking your parent-teacher organization. Then go to garden clubs, garden stores(they might give you a discount), local government agencies, and businesses. If they can’t donate supplies or money, ask if they can donate workers!Build your design.1.What is the part of “Plan a habitat” mainly about?A.How to attract wildlife to the habitat.B.How to raise money for the habitat.C.How to find a site for the habitat.D.How to find people to work on the habitat.2.What can we learn about the schoolyard habitat project?A.It usually covers the center of the playground.B.It helps reduce pollution in school.C.It is very easy to build.D.It requires much help.3.Who is this text probably mainly aimed at?A.Teachers.B.Parents.C.Students.D.Maintenance staff.Today was my first day at senior high and it was hard. In high school, you have 4 minutes to get to your next class. My high school is very big and those 4 minutes to go from one class to another really isn’t a lot of time. Today I had to go from one end of the building to the other to get from science class to math class. I wanted to go to my locker first and leave my science book there, but that took time. I was worried about being late, and I was. The math teacher said, “Just be on time tomorrow, or you’ll have detention (放学后留校).”After math, I went to art class. I like my art class a lot because I get to create things. The teacher there showed us how to make portraits (肖像). He explained, “A portrait is a way of communicating with a person. It does not just show how the person looks but what is important to understand the person.” We just did drawings today, but I know it’s going to be great. I like drawing.I like my English class, too. I think the teacher is really supportive. Today we wrote about ourselves. The teacher said to just write what you think, and we’ll pay attention to punctuation (标点) later. We could write a paragraph or a poem, and I wrote a poem about myself. I thought it was a good poem, and the teacher said I had used good images (意象) to communicate my feelings.Lunch was very hurried. I arrived at the dining room with 12 minutes to eat. I sat with people I didn’t know, and everyone was eating quickly. After lunch I signed up for a computer club. I need to learn how to use a computer well because my social studies teacher says it is the one skill you need in every class.A.He lost his science textbook.B.He got lost on the campus.C.He was late for math class.D.He was given detention.5.What did the author think of his art class?A.Difficult.B.Enjoyable.C.Boring.D.Easy. 6.What did the English teacher do after seeing the author’s work?A.He praised the author.B.He pointed out the author’s mistake.C.He asked the author to check punctuation.D.He encouraged the author to introduce himself.7.Which can be the best title for the text?A.Learn useful skills in high schoolB.My new teachers in high schoolC.Make plans for high school lifeD.My first day in high schoolThe days of just teaching kids their ABCs are long gone. Modern educators are tasked with the seemingly impossible responsibility of making sure that today’s youth are academically (学业上) prepared for life outside the classroom and being self-aware, self-managing, socially aware, relationship-building, and responsible decision-makers who are good to society. That is quite an ask!But social-emotional learning (SEL) answers this call and delivers upon this tall order. It is a method to improve students’ intrapersonal (内心的), interpersonal, and learning ability. This process improves individual students’ skills and makes for a community of successful learners willing and able to positively contribute to society. This theory truly allows individuals to develop well.SEL has effectively predicted positive school adjustment in the school setting, increased learning engagement, minimized discipline (纪律) problems, increased high school graduation rates, and increased future employment and adult health. A main part of SEL is helping children understand their emotions. Further, not only is it important that youngstersexperience.Developing an identity (身份) is necessary for grown-ups, and SEL satisfies this requirement. By helping students develop their identity, SEL helps to increase self-confidence; identification of strengths and needs; and recognition of needs, values, and judgements.In the classroom, SEL has been shown to positively affect students’ attitudes, behaviors, and academic performance. Further, it decreases negative behaviors, such as being off-task or behaving badly. SEL improves the learning environment and makes it a safe place for learning.Not only is SEL significant for students’ mental health, but it is also important for teachers’ mental health. SEL increases teacher-reported effectiveness for behavior management and decreases reports of teacher burnout. Ultimately, SEL creates a calmer classroom environment, which makes educating students much easier.8.What can we say about the responsibility of modern educators according to paragraph 1?A.It is demanding.B.It is rewarding.C.It is respectable.D.It is impossible. 9.What is mainly talked about in paragraph 2?A.How to be a successful learner.B.How to meet the students’ needs.C.What is needed for a community.D.What is social-emotional learning. 10.What is the primary part of SEL?A.Giving students a clear identity.B.Allowing students to predict their future.C.Offering students’ future jobs.D.Helping students understand and manage emotions.11.What can we infer about SEL from the last paragraph?A.It is a win-win method.B.It is refused by students.C.It may make teachers tired.D.It stresses the importance of teachers.Three Simple Tricks Improve Y our MorningsMost people are familiar with the feeling of being torn out of heavy sleep by the sound of their alarm clock. But why do we feel fresh and fully rested some mornings, while on other days we barely have the energy to turn off the alarm clock?Scientists have carried out a study of 833 adults. The results show that we can control how fresh we feel in the morning if we follow three simple pieces of advice.physical activity and the quantity and quality of their sleep. They were also served different breakfasts, and then through the day the scientists monitored their blood glucose (葡萄糖) levels while those who took part in the research kept a chart of their energy levels through the day. Many of the subjects were twins, helping to rule out genetic differences.The data showed that the secret behind energetic mornings is a three-stage solution made up of plenty of exercise the previous day, enough sleep, and then the right breakfast.One researcher explains that each of these three factors are important ingredients if you want to wake up feeling fresh and fully rested—and able to continue feeling relatively energetic for the rest of the day. “If you sleep more than you usually do, you will feel more awake,” he explains. “If you are more physically active the previous day, you get the same effect. Both factors cause improvement.”The worst breakfast proved to be food with high sugar content; this made those who took part in the research feel sleepy and low on energy for the rest of the day. The best way to start a new day was to eat breakfast with a high content of whole grains and vegetables.Perhaps unsurprisingly, the quantity of sleep was also a key factor in mood. The results proved that 7—9 hours of sleep are necessary to shake off morning sleepiness.Scientists do not yet know why exercise seems to improve our awareness and ability to wake up re-energized. But they stress that exercise is an important key to our health and mood in general.12.How does the author introduce the topic of this text?A.By asking a question.B.By giving an explanation.C.By analyzing an example.D.By showing the author’s experience. 13.What does the underlined word “subjects” in paragraph 3 refer to?A.The contents of the test.B.Courses needed for the research.C.The researchers who give the test.D.Those who are tested in the research. 14.Which factor can cause you feel fresher the next morning according to one researcher?A.Sleeping a little longer.B.Being tired the previous day.C.Eating something rich in sugar.D.Taking exercise in the morning.15.In which section of the Internet can we find this text?A.Case Study.B.Lifestyles.C.Great Ideas.D.Sports and Exercise.Beach balls are prickly (多刺的) balls that look like balls of straw (稻草) and are foundusually made of vegetation such as seagrass mixed with other materials like fishing lines, pine needles, bits of seaweed, or small branches.Where can you find beach balls?Beach balls are found all over the world. OSU scientists have reported finding balls made of fine vegetative strands on Egyptian beaches. Australians report finding beach balls twice the size of a large orange. 17How are beach balls made?18 But people believe they are made by surf action. As a wave approaches the beach, it drags along the shore floor and causes the wave to turn back and crash onto the beach. This turning back movement may roll materials in the surf into balls. The balls are washed high on the beach and left behind when the tide goes out.19No, but one possible source of the confusion is a matter produced by sperm whales called ambergris (龙涎香). Ambergris is made up of squid (鱿鱼) parts from the whale’s stomach. Ambergris quickly changes colors and shapes when it is exposed to sunlight and air.20 It is said that a single drop of tincture of ambergris applied to paper and place d in a book will remain fragrant for 40 years. Handling it leaves the fingers smelling of it for days, even after a few washes.A.The balls may be perfectly round.B.But they are not produced by whales.C.Are beach balls of great economic value?D.They are even found on the shores of lakes.E.Are any kinds of beach balls produced by whales?F.No one has formally researched how beach balls are formed.G.Ambergris is rare and once was valued as an important part for perfumes.二、完形填空everything.

If tourists can’t answer our 43 (question),we will find ways to have fun talks with them to cover their awkwardness,” says Chen Yufei, the actor who plays Du Ruhui.Wang Ze, who plays Fang Xuanling, says that although he doesn’t have a “doctoral degree (博士学位)” as some tourists jokingly call it, he still feels the pressure of playing the knowledgeable prime minister of the Tang Dynasty. This keeps him learning different things, from historical stories, poems, 44 songs and brain teasers (脑筋急转弯).The actors of the “Secret Box from the Tang Dynasty” hope that tourists can learn more about Chinese culture through these 45 (interest) performances.四、书面表达46.假如你是李华,你想加入学校的英语阅读社团(English Reading Club),请你用英语写一份个人简介,内容包括:1. 自我介绍;2. 喜欢阅读的书籍类型;3. 加入英语阅读社团的原因。

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

China has a huge population. and it is said that there is at least one bike for every two people . Of course, many people in China ride bikes for sport or exercise, but it is also a much more commonly accepted means of everyday transportation, as compared to countries such as the United States.If you are living for a long time in China, chances are you will want to buy your own bike so that you can use it whenever you want. Even if you don’t use a bike for everyday transportation, owning one can be a great way to enjoy the sights in the countryside.It is important to choose the correct bike for your use. You will find that in China, the one-speed style of bike is popular. These bikes are great if you want to ride around in the city to see the sights. They are quite comfortable and easy to ride. You can often rent a bike for a day for about 15 dollars.However, if you wish to ride on some of the rural (农村的)paths, a mountain bike style would be a better choice. They are great for different kinds of road surfaces, providing for a safer ride. If you are planning to have a wish to tour and still be able to carry packages with you, then a touring bike would be the best choice. These are the most expensive to rent, but are very suitable for carrying packages and even some of your luggage along with you.21. If you want to see the sights in Beijing, you had better _____________.A. buy a bikeB. borrow a bikeC. rent a bike.D. steal a bike22. Which of the following is the advantage of the one-speed bike?A. It is worth at least 15 dollarsB. You can’t ride in the countrysideC. It is easy for you to travel in the cityD. You have to return it the next day.23. You would like to own a touring bike probably because_______________A. you have to ride on the road in the countrysideB. you have some packages to carry while travelingC. you want to enjoy the sights in the big citiesD. it is suitable for all kinds of road surfaces.BMy friend Jason and I wanted to do something to help other people who are less fortunate and help us grow at the same time. After we decided that we would volunteer in Nepal, I did some research on the Internet and I found Volunteer Nepal and feltstrongly that it was the right choice for us.While making our plans, Jason and I realized that others might like the opportunity to be a part of our experience. So before leaving for Nepal, we asked the people we knew whether they would be interested in donating (捐赠) cash or goods to Nepal Orphans (孤儿) Home.One friend, whose family owns a chain called Drake Supermarket, told others about it. His effort paid off. We received donations that filled 29 boxes with sporting goods, toys, coloring books, pencils, children’s books, and more. The boxes were later taken to Drake’s warehouse where I prepared them for shipment. Drake agreed to ship them to Nepal for free.The boxes had arrived at the Volunteer House when we arrived there. The next day, Jason and I unpacked the boxes. The children from the orphanages lined up and were each able to choose a gift. This process took about an hour, but the looks on their faces and the happiness that we saw in their eyes made it one of the best days of our life.We visited the orphanages there in the following days. Being with the children at the orphanages was both sad and wonderful. I’m sure that anyone who has volunteered will understand what I mean by that. My experience as a volunteer was very rewarding (有益的). It has changed me as a person and the way I viewed life in the past. 24.The writer did some research on the Internet probably to ________.A.get in touch with some students B.find an organization for volunteersC.decide in which country to volunteer D.find some friends to volunteer with him25.Before leaving for Nepal, the writer ________.A.asked his friends to go with him B.filled 29 boxes with the things he boughtC.received many donations from other peopleD.bought many things in Drake Supermarket26.What can we learn from Paragraph 4?A.The children were very happy to receive the gifts.B.The writer didn’t expect the kids would love the gifts.C.The writer and his friend took the gifts to the orphanages.D.The children had never received gifts from others before.27.The writer thinks that his experience as a volunteer was ________. A.useless B.helpful C.boring D.disappointingCFrom early times,man has been interested in art.People have often worked together to collect and save the world’s art treasures.Fine art treasures from many countries are kept in an art museum called the Louvre in Paris.France.The works of art have been collected by the people of France over many centuries.It is the biggest art museum in the world.The Louvre has not always been a museum.The first building was a fort.In 1191, it was the king’s castle with high walls and a round tower.It had a river around it to keep out the enemies. Over the years,the number of buildings around the castle gre w.By l350,the castle no longer needed a river.The Louvre became a palace home for France kings and queens.During time of peace,new treasures were brought in.During the days of war,many treasures were stolen,and the buildings were damaged.When Francis I became king of France in 1515, he brought in many artists from other countries.One of the artists was Leonardo Da Vinci from Italy.Da Vinci’s“Mona Lisa”is the best known painting in the museum today.In 1793,the Louvre become a public museum,just as it is now.It is a place where art treasures are kept for everyone to enjoy.Every year millions of people from all over the world come to the Louvre to see the masterpieces.28.Most of works of arts in the Louvre have been collected probably _______.
