高三英语上学期期末测试卷第二部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

AThere is more than one side to every story. Imagine that you could hear the voices of Birmingham in May 1963. This is what they might have said.Lucille LyonsMy heart is fluttering (怦怦跳) in my chest. All around me kids talk nervously. Before we marched right into the area with the whites-only stores, I talked to one of my classmates.“You skipping school today, too?” he asked.I nodded yes.We see firemen standing there with hoses (水管), aimed right at us. Suddenly, water explodes from the nozzles (喷嘴). Some kids fall down. The firemen turn up their hoses even higher. Water beats my back and shoulders. I’ll be hurt and in big trouble when I ge t home, but I know I’m doing the right thing.Johnny Lee BakerThere’s a crowd gathering at the church. A lot of them are kids, but they still need to be kept under control. My job is to use whatever force to keep the peace.The crowd is beginning to march, straight toward the white shopping area.“Stop!” I yell, “and no one will get hurt.”They don’t stop. Then I see Commissioner Connor signal to the firemen.The firemen turn their hoses on the crowd and start to spray.Bill KeysI’m watching history being made. As I take p ictures of the black children gathered for their march, I see firemen cross the street toward them. Connor is there yelling commands. The firemen spray the kids with water. I can’t believe my eyes, seeing such violence against children. I take a picture of them. This picture will make the world pay attention to what is happening here.21. Why did some students skip school?A. To fight for freedom.B. They were bored with studying.C. To campaign against racial discrimination.D. They were curious about what was happening in the street.22. What were the firemen doing?A. Putting fires out.B. Saving some students in trouble.C. Teaching students how to react in an emergency.D. Controlling the march movement in Birmingham.23. What might Johnny Lee Baker be?A. A fireman.B. A teacher.C. A shopkeeper.D. A policeman.24. Why did Bill Keys take the picture?A. To keep it as a souvenir.B. To put it into the newspaper.C. To enter a photography contest.D. To show it to Commissioner Connor.BFrom Snapchatting to sending emails, it seems like we are always on our phones. And while your parents’ or grandparents’ generations may disap prove of your smartphone “addiction”, there are some positive aspects of using the Internet. One of them is online friendships. With the popularity of technology among teens, it’s understandable that more and more often people are connecting online. It’s e asy to find girls (or guys) with similar interests as you. Some people feel embarrassed to admit that they have very real online friendships. But it’s not something to be ashamed of and a friendship should not be discounted because it was formed online.When chatting face-to-face, you might be afraid of being judged by the other person. Communicating online can sometimes help take away that fear. For people with anxiety or who are very shy, this provides a safe way for them to have open discussions with oth ers. If they don’t feel safe, or feel embarrassed, they can easily log off or block the person they were speaking with. Another great thing about online friendships is that it connects us with people and cultures that we may not haveotherwise come in contact (联系) with. You can be sitting on your computer chair in Baltimore but the person you’re speaking to could be in London. That is seriously cool when you stop and think about it!However, that isn’t to say there aren’t dangers to online friendships. The fact is that there are bad people online just as there are in real life. You should never give out your full name or address to a person. And be aware — some people may come off as completely harmless, but if you have a strange feeling about them, trust your gut (感觉). Most of all, do not meet someone from online alone. There are countless heartbreaking stories to be told of people who have done this, and ended up hurt or even worse.25. What’s the author’s attitude toward online friendships?A. Ambiguous.B. Uninterested.C. Disapproving.D. Supportive.26. What’s the main idea of the second paragraph?A. How to chat online safely.B. The advantages of online friendships.C. What to chat about with online friends.D. The disadvantages of chatting face-to-face.27. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?A. To discuss the Internet’s influence on friendships.B. To express his opinion on online friendships.C. To show the necessity of online friendships.D. To stress the importance of friendships.COn September 10, Lincoln Center hosted a unique class of star musicians: Kids and teens. The young players are part of the World Peace Orchestra, or WPO. The group held its first Music for Peace concert in New York City, with 134 students from more than 60 countries taking part. Musicians were selected from all over the world, including conflict areas.Oscar-winning actor Kevin Spacey introduced the orchestra and spoke about the concert’s theme. “Tonight we will see and hear evidence that while countries may go to war it is culture that unites us,” Spacey said.The WPO is a nonprofit group which brings kids together using the common language of music. To be considered for the orchestra, students first had to be recommended by their teachers and then audition (面试) online for judges. Once chosen, professional musicians and teachers then worked with the players to improve their skills.Some of the young musicians play classical instruments, such as violins. Others play instruments unique to their home country. For example, Arnold Mugo, 16, from Kenya, plays an instrument called the djembé. “I can’t express how I felt when I learned I had been selected for the orchestra. I was rolling on the floor,” Mugo says. “It’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.”Mugo says his favorite part of the WPO is making new friends from around the world. “I hope that I take part of their culture home with me so I understand them more,” Mugo says.WPO spokesperson Scott Noppe-Brandon says the goal is for students to use the lessons learned from the orchestra to encourage other young people. “Regardless of what country you’re from, regardless of your age, race, or background,” he says, “music plays a role in all our lives.”28. Why are these musicians special?A. They are very young.B. They are Oscar-award winners.C. They come from areas of conflict.D. They will make a concert tour in the USA.29. What should you do if you want to join the WPO?①Give a performance online.②Be good at a unique instrument.③Submit a recommendation from your teacher.④Learn from professional musicians and teachers.⑤Have an experience of working with star players.A. ①③B. ②⑤C. ①⑤D. ③④30. How did Mugo feel when he was selected?A. Excited.B. Surprised.C. Confident.D. Puzzled.31. What’s the purpose of the WPO?A. To pick out young talents.B. To unite people together with music.C. To inspire young kids to learn music.D. To bring traditional folk music to audiences.DA city in Denmark is about to become the first in the world to provide most of its citizens with fresh water using only the energy created from household wastewater.The Marselisborg Wastewater Treatment Plant in Aarhus has undergone improvements that mean it can now generate more than 150 percent of the electricity needed to run the plant, which means the surplus can be used to pump drinking water around the city.As well as regularly powering the entire water system of 200,000 people living in the inner city area, any unwanted electricity could be sold into the local grid (电网).The plant generates energy from the biogas (生物气) it creates out of household wastewater. Carbon is removed from the wastewater and pumped into digesters kept at 38°C filled with bacteria. These produce biogas —mostly methane —that is then burned to make heat and electricity.Upgrading the facilities in Marselisborg required nearly €3 million, but Aarhus Water expects that to be recovered in just five years.Other cities in Denmark, including Copenhagen, have been trying to copy the example of Aarhus.When talking about copying Denmark’s experience, Molly Walton, energy analyst at International Energy Agency, says, scientists and engineers have a long way to go to improve energy efficiency, and it requires a big investment (投资) that could considerably increase the price of the water.Moreover, to work, the wastewater plant needs to be big enough to generate enough biogas, and even the wastewater has to be the right mix —if it’s diluted (稀释) by much storm or groundwater it will be almost impossible to recover energy, Walton says.With rising global temperatures, more energy will be needed to provide fresh water from other sources such as seawater. The city’s action may not solve the problems, but it is a big step in the right direction.32. What does the underlined part “the surplus” refer to?A. The electricity needed to run the plant.B. The electricity that is more than needed.C. The amount of electricity used by citizens.D. The extra electricity used to treat wastewater.33. How does the plant produce biogas?A. It uses the reactions between carbon and bacteria.B. It allows bacteria to produce biogas out of methane.C. It uses electricity to remove biogas from wastewater.D. It produces biogas by mixing wastewater with methane.34. What does Walton think of the plant’s new technology?A. It is difficult to apply in practice.B. It achieves high energy efficiency.C. It can make good use of storm water.D. It lowers the costs of water treatment.35. Which can be the best title for the text?A. Why does the water service need more energy?B. Should cities copy the example of Aarhus?C. How Aarhus turns wastewater into energyD.How wastewater treatment plants work第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

第一部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

AMy daughter Alisa was born blind in her right eye and was bullied (欺侮) pretty severely in school. So I quitted my job as a babysitter and then schooled my daughter heart and soul at home.A year ago a boy of 14 befriended my daughter on Facebook after reading something Alisa wrote about bullying. Today he messaged her and asked if she would like six tickets to a Colorado Rockies baseball game. They have never met in person but she said, “Sure! That would be great.”Then I received a call from his mother explaining why her son had chosen my daughter. She said he thought my daughter deserved them because of all the good she did in the community. Her son, she explained, had experienced a similar situation and was also home schooled.What she said is true. Now my daughter Alisa continues to teach groups of girls in trouble in our community how to look within themselves for the positive and how to be their own person.Everything taken into consideration, we decided to meet the mother and the boy at a local bike shop. After meeting, the boy approached my car and my daughter gave him a hug and thanked him for his generosity. She told him that she had never been to a baseball game and that she was going to take herentire family, including myself, her dad, little sister, her cousin and an aunt who has brain cancer.We all thanked one another, got in our car, and went our way. As we drove home my daughter opened the envelope. Inside it were the tickets and ＄100 each to buy hot dogs, pay for parking and not have any worries but a great time.My daughter has always been the giver and now she and our family are the receivers and I can not tell you how incredibly honored we feel to be on the other end. What an incredible young man to have such a kind idea.1. What did the author once do according to the passage?A. She was a ticket seller.B. She was a school teacher.C. She was a babysitter.D. She was a social worker.2. How did the boy get to know the author’s daughter?A. They met when buying tickets to a baseball game.B. They got in touch via the Internet.C. They became familiar when talking face to face.D. They went to the same school and met each other.3. Why did the boy want to offer free tickets to Alisa?A. Because Alisa is a disabled girl.B. Because he has a lot money to share.C. Because Alisa often helps those in trouble.D. Because he has a similar situation with Alisa.4. Which of the following best describes the passage?A. Good is rewarded with good.B. A friend in need is a friend indeed.C. Two heads are better than one.D. Where there is a will, there is a way. BElectricity bills can be highly expensive and the power we consume comes at an even greater cost to the environment when you consider that over 85% of the electricity produce d in the United States comes from fuels. Whether you’re concerned about cleaning up the environment or you simply want to reduce your electricity bill，residential wind power generators（发电机）could be a solution.Producing wind power at home will not work for everyone. If you live in aover-populated residential area，there may be certain laws and zoning requirements that prohibit the use of windmills（风车）.If you live on 1 acre of land or more,you probably won’t have any issues but you should investigate carefully to make sure that wind power generators are both legal and practical where you live. Even if there are no laws or regulations prohibiting wind power generators you still need to be in a location that gets enough wind on a regular basis.Some producers of wind generators recommend that you live in an area with wind speeds that average at least 10 mph. Newer models have been developed recently that can operate with wind speeds as low as 4 mph but maximum efficiency is achieved at higher wind speeds. Before you fix a windpowered system,you will have to determine your power requirements. Will you be using it to charge a small battery for a boat or vehicle or will you need enough power to run your entire household and be completely off the grid（电网）？Once you know what your power requirements are，you can start shopping around for a system that can meet those needs.Wind power generators are a great solution for a lot of people.They’re an ideal solution for remote locations where it would be impractical or simply too expensive to tap into the grid.They are quiet and totally clean，producing no pollution. They require no fuel and very little maintenance. Residential wind power offers a lot of benefits but it’s not for everyone. You’ll have to have some money up front to pay for the system and equipment;however,you could save quite a bit of money if you’re able to do much of the work yourself. You’ll also need to live in an area that gets enough wind to make the equipment worthwhile. You’ll need to do your homework be fore you make a purchase,but wind power generators could be a great solution for producing clean, low-cost energy.5. What is the main idea of the first paragraph？A. Electricity bills can be highly expensive.B. Most of the electricity in the US comes from fuels.C. Generating electricity does harm to the environment.D. Residential wind power generators are useful and necessary.6. What can we infer from the passage？A. wind power generators enjoy a lot of benefits.B. you can place wind power generators wherever you want.C. wind power generators are affordable to most families.D. wind power generators are an ideal solution for everyone.7. What attitude might the writer hold towards residential wind power generators？A. NegativeB. SupportiveC. SkepticalD. Cautious8. What is the best title for the passage？A. Ways of Fully Using Wind PowerB. How to Reduce Your Electricity BillC. Alternative Solution-Wind PowerD. Function of Wind Power GeneratorsCThe Winter Olympic Games are a major international sporting event that occurs once every four years. Unlike the Summer Olympics, the Winter Olympics feature sports practiced on snow and ice. The first Winter Olympics, the 1924 Winter Olympics, was held in Chamonix, France. The Games were held every four years from 1924 until 1936, after which they were interrupted by World War II. The Olympics resumed in 1948 and was again held every four years. Until 1992, the Winter and Summer Olympic Games were held in the same year.The Winter Games have evolved since its beginning. Sports and disciplines have been added and some of them, such as short track speed skating, freestyle skiing, have earned a permanent spot on the Olympic program. Others have been discontinued and later reintroduced. Still others, such as speed skiing, bandy and skijoring, were demonstration sports but never incorporated(合并)as Olympic sports. The rise of television as a global medium for communication enhanced the impression of the Games. It created an income stream, via the sale of broadcast rights and advertising.This allowed outside interests, such as television companies and corporate sponsors. Beijing has become the first city to host both Summer and Winter Olympic Games after beating Kazakhstan’s Almaty to hold the 2022 Winter Olympics. With a fully-prepared final presentation by an all-star team, Beijing has successfully convinced the committee members that the 2008 Olympics host city is a more favored candidate for the Winter Games. Beijing was the safe choice because it had already proved it could stage the Games and said it would take winter sports into the backyard of the world’s most populated country.9. Why were the Winter Olympic Games not held for 12 years ?A. Because of the economic crisisB. Because of culture differenceC. Because of the Second World WarD. Because of countries’ lack of interest10. Which of the following is a sports event of the Winter Games ?A. Speed skiingB. Freestyle skiingC. BandyD. Skijoring11. Wha t does the underlined word “ enhanced” in paragraph two mean?A. ImprovedB. ReducedC. PausedD. Balanced12. Beijing won the right to host the 2022 Winter Olympic Games mainly due to______.A. its rich experienceB. its large populationC. its safetyD. its ability to stage the GamesDHave you ever picked a job based on the fact that you were good at it but later found it made you feel very uncomfortable over time? When you select your career, there’s a whole lot more to it than assessing your skills and matching them with a particular position. If you ignore your personality, it will hurt you long-term regardless of your skills or the job’s pay. There are several areas of your personality that you need to consider to help you find a good job. Here area few of those main areas:1) Do you prefer working alone or with other people?There are isolating jobs that will drive an outgoing person crazy and also interactive jobs that will make a shy person uneasy. Most people are not extremes in either direction but do have a tendency that they prefer. There are also positions that are sometimes a combination of the two, which may be best for someone in the middle who adapts easily to either situation.2) How do you handle change?Most jobs these days have some elements of change to them, but some are more than others. If you need stability in your life, you may need a job where the changes don’t happen so often. Other people would be bored of t he same daily routine.3) Do you enjoy working with computers？I do see this as a kind of personality characteristic. There are people who are happy to spend more than 40 hours a week on a computer, while there are others who need a lot of human interaction throughout the day. Again, these are extremes and you’ll likely find a lot of positions somewhere in the middle as well.4) What type of work environment do you enjoy？This can range from being in a large building with a lot of people you won’t know immediately to a smaller setting where you'll get to know almost all the people there fairly quickly.5) How do you like to get paid?Some people are motivated by the pay they get, while others feel too stressed to be like that. The variety of payment designs in the sales industry is a typical example for this.Anyway, these are a great starting point for you. I’ve seen it over and over again with people that they make more money over time when they do something they love. It may take you a little longer, but making a move to dowhat you have a passion for can change the course of your life for the better.13. What does the underlined sentence in paragraph one mean?A. Before you select your job, you should assess your skills and match them with your position.B. There are more important things than assessing skills and match them with the position when you select jobs.C. Nothing is important than assessing skills and match them with the position when you select job.D .You should ignore your skills when you select job.14. In a job search, what quality is not mentioned in the passage?A. Outgoing.B. Motivated.C. Cooperative.D. Passionate.15. What could be the best title for this passage?A. Lifestyles and Job PayB. Jobs and EnvironmentC. Job Skills and AbilitiesD. Personalities and Jobs第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Back in 2008, I was teaching Concepts of Fitness in a high school. At the end of one class, I chatted with David Gale, a senior high jumper, about how to improve his 1 and how motivation played an important role in one's achievement. He, out of the blue, asked me what would happen if he broke the school record.Not 2 of his passion and determination, I paused for a moment, but then promised that I would paint his name on the wall of our classroom. He was very excited and suggested that I go purchase the paint.Nothing more was mentioned about the 3 until two weeks later, the young warrior ran into the classroom with a huge smile on his face. "I did it! I broke the record!" he shouted as I was still gathering information to 4 what I had promised him. I joined in with the high-fives and fist bumps 5 him.The next day, it was done! G-A-L-E. Huge blue letters with white edges, the school colors. I could see his excitement even surpassed the success itself.

To see the citywith ease, rent a bike or take a small group tour to see the sights,including the Little Mermaid, the island of Amager and the community ofChristiania. You can also take a canal boat tour to see the city from aunique view. The Tivoli Gardens offer a sense of love in the evenings. There are some excellent museums to explore. Be sure to add the Museum of Art and Design to your travel plan.TransportationKastrup Airport is the first destination for most visitors. It typically takes less than 15 minutes to get from the airport to the city center by train, so all the visitors prefer this way to travel between the two places.

People settle in these places because they are easy to get to and naturally suited to communications and trade. New York City, for example, is near a large harbour at the mouth of the Hudson River. Over 300 years its population grew gradually from 800 people to 8 million. But not all cities develop slowly over a long period of time. Boom towns grow from nothing almost overnight. In 1896, Dawson, Canada, was unmapped wilderness(荒野(huāngyě)). But gold was discovered there in 1897, and two years later, it was one of the largest cities in the West, with a population of 30,000.Dawson did not have any of the natural conveniences of cities like London or Paris. People went there for gold. They travelled over snow-covered mountains and sailed hundreds of miles up icy rivers. The path to Dawson was covered with thirty feet of wet snow that could fall without warming. An avalanche(雪崩) once closed the path, killing 63 people. For many who made it to Dawson, however, the rewards were worth the difficult trip. Of the first 20,000 people who dug for gold, 4,000 got rich. About 100 of these stayed rich men for the rest of their lives.But no matter how rich they were, Dawson was never comfortable. Necessities like food and wood were very expensive. But soon, the gold that Dawson depended on had all been found. The city was crowded with disappointed people with no interest in settling down, and when they heard there were new gold discoveries in Alaska, they left Dawson City as quickly as they had come. Today, people still come and go —to see where the Canadian gold rush happened. Tourism is now the chief industry of Dawson City — its present population is 762.4．What attracted the early settlers to New York City?A．Its business culture.B．Its small population.C．Its geographical position.D．Its favourable climate.5．What do we know about those who first dug for gold in Dawson?A．Two-thirds of them stayed there.B．One out of five people got rich.C．Almost everyone gave up.D．Half of them died.6．What was the main reason for many people to leave Dawson?A．They found the city too crowded.B．They wanted to try their luck elsewhere.C．They were unable to stand the winter.D．They were short of food.7．What is the text mainly about?A．The rise and fall of a city.B．The gold rush in Canada.C．Journeys into the wilderness.D．Tourism in Dawson.After years of heated debate, gray wolves were reintroduced to Yellowstone National Park. Fourteen wolves were caught in Canada and transported to the park. By last year, the Yellowstone wolf population had grown to more than 170 wolves.Gray wolves once were seen here and there in the Yellowstone area and much of the continental United States, but they were gradually displaced by human development. By the 1920s, wolves had practically disappeared from the Yellowstone area. They went farther north into the deep forests of Canada, where there were fewer humans around.The disappearance of the wolves had many unexpected results. Deer and elk populations — major food sources (来源(láiyuán)) for the wolf – grew rapidly. These animals consumed large amounts of vegetation (植被), which reduced plant diversity in the park. In the absence of wolves, coyote populations also grew quickly. The coyotes killed a large percentage of the park’ s red foxes, and completely drove away the park’ s beavers.As early as 1966,biologists asked the government to consider reintroducing wolves to Yellowstone Park.They hoped that wolves would be able to control the elk and coyote problems.Many farmers opposed the plan because they feared that wolves would kill their farm animals or pets.The government spent nearly 30 years coming up with a plan to reintroduce the wolvers. The U.S.Fish and Wildlife Service carefully monitors and manages the wolf packs in Yellowstone.Today,the debate continues over how well the gray wolf is fitting in at Yellowstone.Elk,deer,and coyote populations are down,while beavers and red fores have made a comeback.The Yellowstone wolf project has been a valuable experiment to help biologists decide whether to reintroduce wolves to other parts of the country as well.8．What is the text mainly about?A．Wildlife research in the United States.B．Plant diversity in the Yellowstone area.C．The conflict between farmers and gray wolves.D．The reintroduction of wolves to Yellowstone Park.9．What does the unde rlined word “displaced〞 in paragraph 2 mean?A．Tested. B．Separated.C．Forced out. D．Tracked down.10．What did the disappearance of gray wolves bring about？A．Damage to local ecology. B．A decline in the park’s income.C．Preservation of vegetation. D．An increase in the variety of animals.11．What is the author’s attitude towards the Yellowstone wolf project？A．Doubtful. B．Positive.C．Disapproving. D．Uncaring.You must have heard of Mr. No Ears. This earless, one-eyed cat from Albufeira, Portugal, is a Facebook phenomenon and has his own book: Saudades Mr. No Ears. But for those of you who don’t know him, here is his story.Often referred to as the “Lion King of Albufeira〞, this adorable cat was the head of a eat colony in the region. Viewed from a distance, he appeared to be a king, sitting on a wall. On most days, this was usually where you would find Mr. No Ears, with the members of his colony scattered around on the walkway. At other times, he was jumping cliffs and running on the beach. No one knew on which day he was born, so his caretakers decided to celebrate his birthday on World Animal Day on October 4th.Although there were no ears, his hearing functioned well. One of his eyes was open and purulent (有脓的), with no sign of an eyeball…...Despite all of his problems, he was a strong-minded and happy cat. Some hotel owners found him annoying, ordering his caretakers to send him away so he wouldn’t “upset tourists.〞 But there were just as many people who loved him to pieces, and once he got his own Facebook page, the entire world was at his paws.On the evening of 11 September 2021, Mr. No Ears was taken away against his will. Less than an hour later a request was made via a Facebook page asking for money, making false claims that he was “in pain〞and “had bone cancer.〞 It was said that in an attempt to prove cancer which he did not have, Mr. No Ears suffered a heart attack. He then suffered organ damage, including his kidneys and liver. The taking-away of this much-loved cat from his home and family and the circumstances of his death were very emotive subjects, causing shockwaves throughout the animal-loving world.Thanks to Mr. No Ears, the Albufeirafs Peneco beach Colony became a household name and a “must see〞 on cat lovers, holiday choices. You will recognize Mr. No Ears’ favorite seat under a palm tree because Mr. No Ears’ love-lock is attached to it.12．Which of the following statements is TRUE?A．Mr. No Ears was born on October 4th. B．Mr. No Ears could hear well without ears.C．All the hotel owners liked Mr. No Ears. D．Mr. No Ears always stayed alone.13．What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 mean?A．The cat could get to know the world via Facebook page.B．People around the world loved the cat.C．The cat is the Lion King of Albufeira.D．The cat’s caretakers made money on the Internet.14．What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?A．The unexpected response from animal lovers.B．The disappearance and return of Mr. No Ears.C．The disease that took Mr. No Ears’ life.D．The foggy death of Mr. No Ears.15．What can we infer from this passage?A．Albufeira owes its fame to Mr. No Ears.B．Mr. No Ears became famous after his death.C．People began to protect cats because of Mr. No Ears.D．In memory of Mr. No Ears, people named a tree after him.二、七选五Daily overuse of media and technology has a bad effect on the health of all children and teenagers by making them more open to anxiety, and more at risk of future health problems.16． Many newer apps automatically show where the users are when they’r e used. This can tell anyone out there exactly where to find the person using the app.17．They are also upset about their kids spending time on Facebook accounts instead of getting down to their homework assignments, and are afraid of what can come out of their online connections.18．One way is to make a “social media agreement〞 with your kids—a real contract they can sign. In it, they can agree to protect their own privacy, consider their reputation, and not give out personal information.19．In turn, pare nts agree to respect teens’ privacy while making an effort to be part of the social media world. Parents also can help kids spend less time on the computer by putting limits on media use.20．Avoid laptops and smartphones in bedrooms, and set some rules on the use of technology. And don’t forget that setting a good example through your own virtual behavior can go a long way toward helping your kids use social media safely.A．Trust their children more.B．Keep computers in public areas in the house.C．It’s impo rtant to be aware of what your kids are doing online.D．Besides, they promise never to use technology to hurt anyone else.E. Spending too much time on social media can make kids feel upset, too.F. Kids also can face the possibility of meeting the wrong person lace to face.G.

He grew up fishing along the Chattanooga River, after all! But once he learned that 80 percent of all trash from land and rivers ends up in the ocean, he couldn’t sit back.He started with cleanups along the river, something that quickly went from a family affair to a community effort with volunteers and neighbors. In 2019, Cash, together with a Canadian conservationist, Ella Galaski-Rossen, started a nonprofit called the Cleanup Kids. Despite living in different countries, they managed to create educational videos on their YouTube channel. “We hope to be a really big nonprofit that eliminates plastic in the U. S. and Canada,” Cash said. “We want to inform kids and adults in the landlocked states on how their actions are connected to the water and the ocean,” Cash said.Cash was selected as one of America’s top 10 youth volunteers of 2021 by the Prudential Spirit of Community Awards. He also earned the title of National Honoree, where he received a$5,000 grant to go to a nonprofit of his.,choice, and he became the first person to win the Youth Conservationist Award two years in a row from the Tennessee Wildlife Federation.“I want to travel the world, teach others, and help them feel connected to the ocean. Because if you are connected to the ocean-if you love it and what lives in it—you’ll want to protect it,” he said. “This is my fun, and it becomes more fun with every new discovery.”4. Which can replace the underlined words “sit back” in paragraph 2?A. Fall asleep.B. Lose heart.C. Turn a blind eye.D. Lend a hand.5. What is the purpose of starting the Cleanup Kids?A. To recycle waste plastics.B. To make instructive videos.C. To spread marine knowledge.D. To appeal for ocean protection.6. Which of the following best describes Cash Daniels?A. Sympathetic and devoted.B. Initiative and talented.C. Ambitious and humorous.D. Determined and modest.7. What does Cash Daniels story imply?A. Passion fuels dreams.B. Great minds think alike.C. Helping others is of great fun.D. Actions speak louder than words.CTo reduce the carbon emissions from passenger jets and long-haul trucks, a vast volume of soy-based renewable fuel will be needed. To produce it, American farmers could ruin existing cornfields to clear space, plant millions of additional acres of soybeans and shut down all soybean exports. Researchers at startups and biotech giants alike have found ways to create a new kind of soybeans through genetic recombination that generates more oil.One of the startups, ZeaKal Inc., funded in part by seed giant Corteva Inc., plans to introduce its first batch of high-oil seeds for commercial planting in 2024. Scientists have tricked the plant into sustaining photosynthesis for longer with genetic recombination, ultimately producing more oil as well as more protein.Companies are racing to build more capacity to process soy, a critical component for expanding green fuelsupplies. Tax credits make companies in the transportation industry switch to fuel with lower carbon emission.S&P Global sees domestic demand for renewable biofuel reaching 4 billion gallons in 2030, up from around 2.7 billion this year. It projects that the use of sustainable aviation fuel will total 1.7 billion gallons annually by the end of the decade, compared with just 182 million gallons a year now.Despite the bullish predictions, the soy-based transportation fuel market is still a drop in the bucket for the fuel industry. And even if the new breed of high-oil seeds takes off, widespread adoption will take time. Farmers may be reluctant to become early adopters of a technology that hasn’t yet proven its benefits, especially if the oil content comes at the expense of existing genetic recombinations that improve disease or pest resistance.Chicken producer Perdue Farms Inc. has signed a deal with Zeakal, agreeing to pay farmers a higher price for harvested supplies of the new variety, which is good for chicken feed because of its higher protein levels. If large oil companies follow suit, the soybean market might never look the same. “We could have an opportunity for the oil component of soybeans to actually become more important in some markets than the protein aspect,” says Mike Dillon, vice president of ZeaKal, “That’s a very dramatic shift.”8. How did researchers plan to produce more oil?A. By planting more soybeans.B. By banning soybean exports.C. By fertilizing soybean fields.D. By engineering soybean genes.9. What does the author want to show by mentioning the figure in paragraph 3?A. The continuous use of the fuel.B. The growing demand for biofuel.C. The serious lack of green fuel supplies.D. The fierce competition between companies.10. Who can change the current biofuel market according to the last paragraph?A. Companies.B. Farmers.C. Scientists.D. Governments11. Which can be the best title of the text?A. Biofuel: A New Way to Cut Down Carbon EmissionsB. Oilier Soybeans: Possible Reliance of the Future FuelC. A Big Shift: From Conventional Soybeans to Altered OnesD. Genetic Modification: A Technology to Breed New SoybeansDWhenever I order food for delivery, I play a little game to guess how many sets of tableware(餐具)the restaurant will provide with my meal. Sometimes restaurants will throw in two, three or four sets for just one order. But I rarely need any tableware at all, and the waste goes into the trash or collects dust in a kitchen drawer.Researchers working with Chinese technology group Alibaba tried a simple approach to this problem. Instead of just wastefully doling out tableware, the company required food-delivery customers in some cities in China to pick how many sets of tableware they wanted to receive.The default (默认设置)was set at zero. The result, published today in the journal Science, was a 638% increase in the share of no-tableware orders. If applied across China, researchers found, the approach would save nearly 22 billion sets of plastic tableware. The study doesn’t cover carbon emissions, but it’s safe to say that the impact would be significant. It struck me as a useful reminder of the many low-hanging fruits across the economy that can cut waste, and emissions.Nudging its customers cost Alibaba nothing more than a few hours of software engineering time and the impact it brought was immense. The concept of nudging comes from the field of behavioral economics known as nudge theory. It suggests that a slight action can encourage good human behavior without the need for policies that limit choice or economic punishment that raises the cost of bad behavior. To nudge customers to eat better, for example, a restaurant might organize its menu by listing healthy options first and bury unhealthy ones at the bottom. More recently, some big companies like Google have also begun to use nudges to advance climate objectives.Behavioral economics broadly, and nudges more specifically, aren’t without controversy. Some might think it assigns consumers responsibility for addressing environmental challenges. But there is another way to look at it. In the absence of necessary policy—and policy is needed一companies can help encourage a widespread shift of consumer behavior.And all of that behavioral change can add up. The International Energy Agency found in 2021 that small behavioral changes in energy consumption such as walking instead of driving and adjusting the thermostat could in total shave off 4% of global emissions. The more that companies can do to facilitate such changes, the better.12. What did Alibaba do with tableware waste?A. It stopped restaurants from handing out tableware.B. It withdrew unused tableware from customers.C It updated the food -delivery device regularly..D. It allowed picking tableware at customers’ demand.13. What do the underlined words “low-hanging fruits” mean in paragraph 2?A. Easily accessible things.B. Fast increasing orders.C. Exceptionally tough choices.D. Widely accepted strategies.14. What can we learn about nudge theory from paragraph 3?A. It brings about economic loss.B. It results from consumption policies.C. It indicates small action changes behaviour.D. It implies bad behaviour impacts economy.15What is the main idea of the text?.A. Nudge theory affects behaviors.B. Good behaviors boost economy.C. Nudging helps build a greener world.D. Behavioral economics benefits customers.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。

William Gadoury has been crazy about the Mayans for most of his childhood, ever since his grandparents boughthim books about the civilization. What started as a hobby at age 12 snowballed into serious research, and he theorized that the locations of Mayan cities might correspond to stars in Mayan constellations(星座).Using ancient books, Gadoury analyzed 22 Mayan constellation maps and covered the positions onto Google Earth images of the Yucatan Peninsula, which to this day is home to large local populations and some best-preserved architecture from Mayan culture. He would track the constellations from Google Earth using special sheets, covering them onto the position of Mayan cities on a paper map. The teen was able to show that 117 Mayan cities matched up with the position of the stars, with the brightest stars representing bigger cities.But when Gadoury was working on the 23rd Mayan constellation, he found a conflict: three stars, but only two ancient cities on Google Earth. The third star pointed to a location on the Mexico-Belize border. However, the area was covered with thick jungle, leaving Gadoury stuck.Luckily, he asked NASA for images from their RADARSAT-2 satellite. Indeed, there was a square, man-made-looking structure in the heavy forest. Gadoury then learned a fire had swept across the region, thinning out the grass cover. He found images from the agency, and eventually concluded that there was indeed a city there.Gadoury's findings eventually took him into the jungle in 2022 to search on foot, along with scientist Francisco Bell. The team discovered a farming village deep in the Mexican jungle, w hich showed the “backbone” of the Maya's long-term success, which was down to their ability to work the land and support large cities.4. What is Gadoury's finding mainly about?A. The villages in the Mexican jungle.B. The images from NASA satellites.C. The origins of Mayan culture.D. The locations of Mayan cities.5. How did Gadoury carry out his research according to Paragraph 2?A. By tracking the best-preserved building on maps.B. By analyzing 117 Mayan cities in ancient books.C. By checking star maps against satellite images.D. By updating the Google Earth on the Internet.6. What made it difficult for Gadoury to find the third city of the 23rd Mayan stars?A. A thick forest.B. A forest fire.C. Fund shortage.D. Bad weather.7. Which of the following best describes Gadoury?A. Cheerful.B. Intelligent.C. Ambitious.D. Sympathetic.CImagine a new smartphone product. It works the same as any other smartphone, but when dropped, those cracks that appear after an annoying fall slowly begin to fade away, and the phone magically repairs itself、A team of researchers led by chemistry professor Takuzo Aida have found a way to create self-repairing plastics that can be used in smartphones, cars and other products. But their new plastics won't only be used to create unbreakable products, but also help the fight against growing wastes harming the planet.91% of plastic is non-recyclable and filling Earth with waste. The increasing plastic in landfills is a growing concern due to its negative environmental impact. In 2019 about only9% of plastics were recycled globally, leading Japanese scientists to seek to find plastic that can start its own formation or self-repair.The self-repairing plastics are made by adding a tiny amount of a specialized substance into ordinary plastic to hold the monomers(单体) together by hydrogen bonds(氢键). When the new plastic is broken down by heat, instead ofburning to waste, the hydrogen bonds mix and allow for the formation of special shaped monomers to create a foundation for more monomers to layer on and rebuild itself. The team found that their self-healing plastic was able to automatically repair at room temperature over an hour to regain its durability. The team's work suggests great prospects for the future of plastic. “The technique could lead to the development of a made-to-last plastic that does not need to be recycled,” lead professor Aida said at the conference, “and can one day be in products from smartphones to cars and even buildings.”8. What is the special feature of the new plastics?A. Hard to break.B. Cheap to produce.C. Good to health.D. Easy to recycle.9. What drove scientists to search for the new plastics?A. Global warming.B. Industrial needs.C. Economic crisis.D. Green awareness.10. What does Paragraph 3 mainly tell us about the new plastic?A. Its social effect.B. Its main function.C. Its working principle.D. Its economic value.11. What is Aida's attitude towards the new plastic?A. Doubtful.B. Favorable.C. Disapproving.D. Unconcerned.DRadiocarbon dating has revealed two fake(伪造的) paintings in France—probably the first time the technique has been used in a police investigation. The paintings were supposedly works from around the early twentieth century. But a team led by scientist Lucile Beck at the University of Paris-Saclay dated them to sometime within the past 70 years.The use of radiocarbon dating is gaining popularity, thanks to advances that require smaller samples than ever before. Removing tinier samples from artwork is becoming more palatable to museums and owners of paintings. Ifthere is a chance that a painting is genuine—and therefore valuable—they don't want the collection of larger samples to damage it.All living things take in carbon, including radioactive carbon-14, from the atmosphere and from food. When a plant commonly used to make oil painting cloth dies, the carbon-14 that it contained continues to fall off. Radiocarbon dating measures what's left to estimate the time that's passed, says Mariaelena Fedi, a physicist at the National Institute for Nuclear Physics in Florence, Italy. Atomic-bomb(原子弹) testing, which began in the 1940s and took off in the 1950s, quickly increased the amount of carbon-l4 in the atmosphere.Carbon-l4 peaked around 1964and went down after a partial ban on nuclear tests. Researchers can easily identify materials containing modern bomb-produced radiocarbon because their carbon-14 concentrations are higher than pre-1950s levels. Beck's team tested its samples to see whether they bore the feature of that bomb-produced radioactive carbon-14.The canvas fiber from the paintings clearly contained carbon from either the mid-1950sor after the year 2000, the researchers reported. Beck acknowledged that, ideally, the team would do further chemical analysis to support its findings, but the researchers were limited by the tight time.12. What does the underlined word “palatable” in P aragraph 2 probably mean?A. Impressive.B. Acceptable.C. Expensive.D. Difficult.13. How does radiocarbon dating work?A. By analyzing samples from artwork.B. By removing the smaller samples.C. By measuring the carbon-14 left.D. By testing the carbon in the sample.14. What can we learn about atomic-bomb testing in Paragraph 4?A. It produces more carbon-14.B. It helps identify fake paintings.C. it reduces carbon concentration.D. It has been stopped completely.15. Which of the following is the best title for the text?A. Paintings waiting to be identifiedB. Two fake paintings found in FranceC. New technology in painting becomes a hitD. Radiocarbon dating proves an anti-fake helper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。
