On the first day, my father gave me a watch. “You need to have a watch, so take good care of it,” he said.The next day, I went swimming. The sun was shining on the water. The water was warm and beautiful. I really enjoyed being in the water.When I returned to beach, I was quite tired so I lay down. At that moment, I wanted to see what time it was. But the watch was gone! I looked for it all afternoon, but I could not find it.That night at dinner, my sister asked, “What time is it?”“Ask Tom,” my mother said. “He has a new watch.”Dad looked at me and said, “Don’t tell me that you’ve lost the watch already!”“No!” I said. I was sweating (出汗) with great fear. I knew I was going to be caught in a terrible lie. Just then, there was an announcement, “Ladies and gentlemen, a very nice watch was found on the beach today. If you lost one and can identify (确认) it, please come to the front desk.”At once, I knew what I had to do. I slowly got up, with my whole family staring at me. I went to the desk. There it was. The watch was not broken. It was still working.I walked back to the table, sat down and said in a low voice, “I’m sorry I didn’t tell the truth.” My family smiled. They knew that I had finally learned my lesson.19．Tom’s father gave him a new watch because Tom ________.A．needed one B．was on vacationC．disliked his old one D．behaved well at school20．What did Tom do when he found the watch was gone?A．He told his father about that.B．He asked the front desk for help.C．He spent all afternoon looking for it.D．He did nothing and continued lying on the beach.21．How might Tom feel after saying “No”?A．Happy.B．Worried.C．Relaxed.D．Angry. 22．What does the underlined word “lesson” in the last sentence refer to?A．We should listen to parents.B．We should excuse others’mistakes.C．We should take good care of ourselves.D．We should face mistakes instead of telling lies.“Don’t tell it to anyone.” We hear these words before or after someone tells a secret to us. But it can be hard to keep a secret. We just can’t help “spiling the beans”, even if we regret it later.One expert explains why keeping a secret is a challenge. According to Dr Asim Shah, keeping a secret may become a burden. As soon as you tell somebody not to repeat your secret, they begin to have an obsessive urge (过分冲动) to share it with others.With secrets so often getting out, why do people share them in the first place? Shah explained one is that people often feel like it will help them keep close friendships with others. However, linking telling someone your secrets with how close you are to them is not always advisable. It’s important for people to understand that they can have close relationships without sharing their secrets unnecessarily.Another reason is that people feel guilty (内疚的) about not sharing a secret. For example, if your friends tell you a secret but you don’t share it with those close to you, you may feel ashamed. If you don’t share certain things with them, a sense of distrust can develop. Keeping or sharing secrets often puts people in a position of either losing or winning the trust of someone.He added that people who are more talkative may let a secret slip out, but that doesn’t mean it’s a good idea to share secrets with quieter people. If somebody is quiet and keeps everything in, it may cause them to have more stress, and finally they will talk to somebody.“If you end up accidentally sharing a secret with somebody else, it’s best to be honest and let the person know that you shared his or her secret and that it isn’t so secret anymore,” Shah said.23．What does the underlined phrase “spilling the beans” mean?A．Forgetting the secret.B．Telling the secret to others.C．Discovering the secret.D．Keeping the secret to ourselves.24．The example in the fourth paragraph is to show that ________.A．it is of great importance to trust each otherB．close friends should be honest with each otherC．keeping a secret can make people feel sorryD．it’s not necessary to feel guilty about not sharing anything25．Which is Dr Asim Shah’s opinion?A．Sharing a secret can lead to a close friendship.B．Talkative people are more likely to keep a secret.C．The person who keeps a secret may suffer from stress.D．it’s best to share a secret with quiet people as it's safe with them.26．The passage mainly talks about ________.A．how to avoid letting out a secretB．why it is important to keep a secretC．why it is difficult to keep a secretD．how to find out a secret by ourselves①Of all the animals on Earth, none are more willing to explore than humans. Other animals will go in search of food or water. But humans are searching for possibilities of discovery (发现). So what caused us to explore across the world?②Maybe it’s in our DNA．In 1999, Dr. Chuansheng Chen carried out a study of a gene (基因) known as DRD4-7R. This gene is found in about 20% of all humans. This kind of people are mostly interested in taking risk, exploring, and getting new ideas. Dr. Chen found that DRD4-7R is more common in people who move around a lot than those who don’t. For example, studies in Africa show that the gene is much more common in nomadic tribes (游牧的部落) than in tribes that like to stay in one place better. Several other researchers have studied this topic and found out more to support Dr. Chen’s research.③But can one gene be a drive (驱动) for the need to explore? Dr. Kidd doesn’t think so. He thinks DRD4-7R might make people get more curious (好奇的), but other important sets genes also give us great minds and skilled hands. He believes that not just one gene, but groups of genes work together to create behaviors like exploration.④The environment we live in also makes much difference to our need to explore. For example, during the European Age of Exploration, explorers became rich and famous fortheir discoveries. This made others try to make themselves become rich through exploration too. Therefore, their exploration was more likely encouraged by money than by genes.⑤Maybe the need to explore comes from something inside us, such as the DRD4-7R gene. Or maybe it has more to do with what’s happening in the world around us. Maybe it’s both. Whatever the reason, it seems we (or at least some of us) will keep exploring the mountains, the sea, the stars, and so on because that’s just what humans do.27．What did Dr. Chen find about the DRD4-7R gene?A．It has more influence on people in Africa.B．It could be found in most of the humans.C．It prevents the people in Africa from moving around.D．It may be more common in people who like taking risk.28．What did the example of the European Age of Exploration show?A．The purpose of exploring.B．The importance of the environment.C．The advantage of exploring.D．The big changes of the environment.29．What is the structure of this passage?A．B．C．D．30．Which of the following is the best title of the text?A．Genes’ influence on humans.B．Humans’ need to explore.C．What causes humans to explore.D．How do humans explore.三、选词填空用方框中所给词话的适当形式填空，每词限用一次。

To save them, the Chinese government started the Chinese Language Resources Protection Project a few years ago. This project looks at how people talk in 1,712 places. Their languages include 103 dialects that are almost gone. It has helped China to build the largest language resource library in the world. There’s an online library where people can learn dialects from over 5.6 million audio clips (音频) and over 5 million videos.Why is it important to protect the dialect culture According to British linguist Harold Palmer, dialects are a key to store local cultures. Language faithfully shows the history, the beliefs and the biases (偏见) of an area, he said.Scholar Zhang Hongming talked about his concerns of the disappearing of dialeets, “For about over 10 years, in the Wu dialect areas such as Shanghai and Suzhou, children aged 6 to 15 can understand but hardly speak the dialect. Meanwhile, young people above 15 years old sometimes speak it, but not very well. If this keeps happening, the dialect might disappear,” he said.So how did China make this big library “A big national effort has been put into the project to make it happen,” said Cao Zhiyun, chief expert on the project. Over five years, more than 350universities and research groups joined in, along with over 4,500 experts and more than 6,000 dialect speakers.The project is now entering into its second part. This includes creating digital tools like apps and mobile dictionaries to help people lean dialects.4．How does the author start the textA. By quoting sayings.B. By sharing a story.C. By stating his own experiences.D. By asking a question. 5．What’s the third paragraph mainly aboutA. The development of Mandarin.B. Why to protect dialects.C. How to develop speaking skills.D. The disappearing of dialects. 6．What’s Zhang Hongming’s attitude to Wu dialectA. Worried.B. Positive.C. Indifferent.D. Unelear.7．What can we know about the project according to the textA. It has entered into the third part.B. Over 5.6 millions videos are collected in the project.C. It looks at how people talk in 1,712 places.D. Harold Palme is the chief expert on the project.Do you ever get restless if you haven’t checked your phone for a few minutes If so, you’re not alone. Studies reveal that people these days check their phones once every four minutes on average! Some of this usage may be related to work. However, much of it isbecause many apps — particularly social media apps —use “clever techniques” to keep us coming back for more.One of such techniques is to push notificatio ns. You’re getting on with your work or something else when — ping! — a notification pops up on your screen, informing you that a friend has posted something new or commented on your post. It may seem like a small interruption, but it often is enough to break your concentration and make you go back to your phone again. Another method is to make a game of the in-app experience by setting up a competitive goal element. Some apps, for example, uses streaks (连续纪录), which count the number of days you have used the app. If you keep a streak going, you might get a medal or some other rewards. Therefore, keeping one’s streak alive becomes a major reason to return to the app again and again.Once you’ve opened an app, its goal is now to get you continue using it. Messaging apps use a simple but effective trick to keep you engaged even when you’re not writing anything. Have you ever noticed that in some apps, three dots (…) appear to let you know your friend is typing a reply This trick is designed specifically to create your expectation or curiosity. You wonder what your friend is going to say. Well, you’ll have to keep waiting and see. While using social media apps is certainly fun, becoming addicteddefinitely isn’t. Now that you know some tricks used by these apps’ designers, you’ll be better equipped to reduce their influence and keep a healthier relationship with your phone.8．What does the underlined word “reveal” in Paragraph 1 probably meanA. Encourage.B. Predict.C. Prevent.D. Show.9．What is special about an app using streaksA. Ongoing pings will inform you of new posts.B. Competitive games will greatly discourage you.C. Everyday use of the app might earn you a medal.D. Appearance of three dots might disturb your typing. 10．There are “clever techniques” mentioned in the passage.A. twoB. threeC. fourD. five11．What is the best title for the textA. The Tricks That Keep You Glued to Your Phone.B. Can People Break Their Addition to GamesC. Could Technology Further Improve PhonesD. The Social Media Apps That Waste Your Time.For more than 140 years, fishers in Laguna, Brazil have formed an unusual partnership with local dolphins. As soon as the fishers spot a dolphin waving its tail, lifting its head, and diving deeply, they race into the water with their nets. Now, a new study suggests thedolphins are willing partners in this cooperation and that the animals may be guiding the people. They pay close attention to the humans, timing their actions to maximize their catch. Over the years, dolphins have bee n showing the fishers “where to stand and when to get ready to throw their nets” in the dark waters. It’s almost as if the dolphins are training the humans.As much as the fishers were watching the dolphins, the dolphins were also watching the fishers, the study found. Both species must time their actions correctly to catch fish. The people wait with their nets at the ready for a dolphin to approach closely. When a dolphin sees a ready fisher, the animal will give a tip, usually that deep dive, which tells the fisher the mullet (鲻鱼) are right there and it’s time to cast their net. Sometimes, either dolphin or fisher will respond incorrectly, and neither catches fish. Yet, the scientists reported that of nearly 3,000 recorded fishing attempts, nearly 46% were successful. To ensure this accuracy, fishers must understand the dolphins’ tips, learning them over time. Even it can say, “The dolphins are almost like teachers.”Other populations of dolphins have also been known to cooperate with human fishers, rushing fish toward shore or into nets off eastern Australia, Mauritania, and Southeast Asia. But these practices have either disappeared or are in decline.The same fate likely faces the Laguna dolphins if the mullet numbers, which have dropped over the past decade because of overfishing, continue to decline. The practice may escape such a fate, if Brazil regards this dolphin-fisher relationship a cultural heritage, as the scientists propose. “Without mullet,” the expert says, “this partnership will end.”12．How do the dolphins guide the fishers to catch the fishA. They constantly attack fish.B. They use body languages.C. They make strange voices.D. They pull the nets.13．What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 3A. Introduce a new topic for discussion.B. Provide suggestions for the readers.C. Share some interesting facts about dolphins.D. Conclude the previous paragraphs.14．What can we learn about the dolphin-fisher relationship in LagunaA. It has completely disappeared.B. It develops friendly.C. It needs to be protected.D. It becomes useless and meaningless. 15．In which column of the newspaper can we read the passageA. Art.B. Health.C. Sports.D. Animals.二、七选五16．Do you know how to be a proud traveller ①_________Travellers get excited and a bit nervous before travel.

During the late 1960s, Americans experienced the unexpected side effects of high productivity of industry. Factories were giving out smoke while leaded petrol were used for vehicles, making air pollution increasingly severe.What moved Senator Nelson to action was the 1969 massive oil spill (溢出) in California, which had killed about 3,500 sea birds, besides sea animals like dolphins and seals, causing great public anger. Inspired by the student antiwar movement at that time, Nelson found it a proper time to channel the energy of the students towards a fight for environmental protection. And the sure-fire way was through public pressure. Thus Earth Day was born in 1970, and public environmental awareness took center stage.On 22nd April 1970, millions of Americans took to the streets to demonstrate for a sustainable environment and thousands of students marched against the worsening environment. Different groups were now working together for a shared goal ―environmental conservation and the effort became effective. The government took tougher measures and affected businesses were forced to follow standards.As environmental issues were not just localized ones but a global concern, the year 1990 saw Earth Day reach out to many more around the world. Earth Day 1990 helped pave the way for the 1992 United Nations Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro, bringing together many nations for a joint effort towards protecting the environment.For his role as founder of Earth Day, Senator Nelson was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom (1995), the highest honour in the USA, by then US President Clinton. We salute (致敬) the man, as the fight for cleaner environment continues.4．What motivated Senator Nelson to start Earth Day?A.High productivity of industry.B.Increasingly severe air pollution.C.The 1969 oil spill in the USA.D.The students’ involvement in war.5．What played an essential role in the birth of Earth Day?A. Students’ movement.B. Strict regulations.C. Government’s measures.D. Public pressure.6．In which year did Earth Day start to draw the world’s attention?A. 1970.B. 1990.C. 1992.D. 1995.7．What’s the main idea of the passage?A.The establishment of Earth Day.B.The effort of going green globally.C.Fighting for cleaner environment.D.Honoring the founder of Earth Day.Almost everyone agrees that art is important, but they disagree on whether governments, using taxpayers’ public money, should be funding it. Also, if governments do spend money on art, what artworks should they buy and for what purpose?Most governments purchase well-known artworks for public galleries, such as the Metropolitan in New York, the National Gallery in London, the Louvre in Paris and the Uffizi in Florence, which are all free to the public. Most people do not object to public money being spent on keeping great artworks available to the public eye. However, there are some types the public are often not so happy about supporting.In the 1980s when most people seemed to have lost interest in art, the Turner Prize was started in order to regain public’s attention again. This is a contemporary art award supported by taxpayers. In 1999, the Turner Prize came under great public criticism when Tracey Emin was shortlisted for the prize for her work called “My Bed”. “My Bed” was her actual bed which she had lain in for days following a relationship breakup. To some, this was a breakthrough and some visitors even jumped into the bed and rolled around. To others, it was simply a dive into the depths of human depravity (堕落).But is the kind of “work” done by Emin “art”? And should the public pay for it, especially when it is so controversial (有争议的)?Western art is certainly at a crossroads. Does it keep exploring the dark side or does it seek an ideal beauty? Perhaps the answer depends on the public at large and the values they hold. Many people were pleased when Richard Wright won the Turner Prize in 2009 with his fresco(壁画). Its artistic beauty, poetic nature and use of historic tradition might shows that society is looking for something more positive and “rooted” in its history again. If public money is spent on art, it is essential that the public play a key role in debating both art, and what art they are willing to pay for.8．Why are some galleries mentioned in Paragraph 2?A. They are well known worldwide.B. They appeal to the public.C. They offer free admission.D. They are publicly funded.9．What do we know about “My bed”?A. It’s a controversial painting.B. It caused opposing reactions.C. It seeks ideal beauty and truth.D. It goes against contemporary art. 10．Which word can best describe the public’s attitude to Wright’s fresco?A. Appreciative.B. Opposed.C. Doubtful.D. Unhappy.11．Who should have the final say on public investment in art according to the passage? A. Artists. B. The government.C.Taxpayers.D. Turner Prize winners.Victor Borge once wrote, “Laughter is the closest distance between two people.” Yet laughter isn’t always positive for relationships. Think of your friend laughing at your embarrassing mistake. This kind of unshared laughter can have the opposite effect.Now, a new study explores when laughter works as a social glue. While all genuine laughter may help us feel good, shared laughter may communicate to others that we have a similar worldview, which strengthens our relationships.Researchers at the University of North Carolina found a way to produce shared laughter to measure experimentally how it might impact a relationship with a stranger. Participants watched a funny, not-so-funny, or not-funny-at-all video while video-chatting with another same-sex participant. Unknown to them, the video chat displayed a pre-recorded clip (片段) of someone laughing the same amount for each of the two funny videos, but only smiling occasionally during the unfunny video. This produced more shared laughter in the first situation, less shared laughter in the second, and no shared laughter in the third. Afterwards, the participants then filled out questionnaires about their sense of similarity to their video partner, and how much they liked or wanted to get to know their video partner.Results showed that, across the different videos, the amount of shared laughter had consistent (一致的) effects on the participants’ sense of similarity to the video partner ―and that this, in turn, increased how much participants liked their partner and wanted tothat they see the world in the same way, and it momentarily improve their sense of connection,” says Sara Algoe, co-author of the study.How can we put these findings into practice? Algoe suggests that relationship partnersmay want to find opportunities to laugh together in order to boost closeness, especially before having difficult conversations. Likewise, shared laughter could be introduced into staff meetings to make people feel more on the same page and thus become more productive.12．What is the finding of the experiment?ughter creates distances.ughter is a reliable social glue.C.Unshared laughter has negative effect.D.Shared laughter brings closeness.13．What are the participants asked to do in the experiment?A.Record the reaction to the videos.B.Video chat with a same-sex stranger.C.Fill out questionnaires on the videos.ugh the same amount each time.14．Which is closest in meaning to the underlined phrase “affiliate with” in Paragraph 4? A. Connect with. B. Turn to. C. Agree with. D. Refer to.15．In which situation is shared laughter probably used according to Algoe?A. During a court meeting.B. After seeing a doctor.C. Before solving conflicts.D. When taking an exam.二、七选五16．Sometimes, it’s good to be bored“I am dying of boredom,” complains the young wife Yelena in Chekhov’s 1897 play Uncle Vanya. Of course, if Yelena were around today, we know what she would do: pull out her smartphone and find something fun. Today it is easy to get rid of boredom. ①________That is the finding of two fascinating recent studies. In one, researchers asked subjects to do something boring, like copying out numbers from a phone book, and then take tests of creative thinkings. The result? ②________ In the second study, subjects gave more answers to a word test than a non-bored control group after being forced to watch a dull screensaver.“An restless mind hungers for stimulation, so boredom becomes a seeking state,” says Sandi Mann, the psychologist at the University of Central Lancashire. “③________.” Parents will tell you that kids with “nothing to do” will eventually invent some fun gamesto play ― with a cardboard box, a light switch, whatever.The problem, the researchers worry, is that these days we don’t struggle to overcome these slow moments. “④________” Mann says. “This might relieve us temporarily, but it shuts down the deeper thinking.” So here is an idea: Instead of always avoiding boredom, embrace and face it. Sometimes, anyway. Mann has found she gets some of her best thinking done when she is driving her car and therefore can’t be distracted by her phone.⑤________ The good type inspires you to see what can come of it. The bad type, in contrast, tires you and makes you feel like you can’t be bothered to do anything. An important part of our modern task, then, is learning to evaluate these different types of boredom ― to distinguish the useful kind from the harmful one.A.And there is, of course, bad boredom.B.Bored subjects came up with more creative ideas.C.But what if boredom is a meaningful experience?D.These moments are a lot more valuable than expected.E.Actually, tips on getting away from boredom are countless.F.We try to kill every moment of boredom with mobile devices.G.When not satisfied with your state, you’re seeking and engaged.三、完形填空（15空）I hated that I was born with a cleft palate(腭裂). I clearly knew how ugly I looked toduring group testing. The “whisper test”, however, required a different kind of deceptionLeonard might say, maybe things like “The sky is blue.” or “Do you have breakfast?”.little girl.”17．A. bleeding B. injured C. misshapen D. smooth18．A. speech B. mood C. thought D. behaviour19．A. burned B. cut C. bitten D. rounded20．A. sufficient B. reliable C. worthwhile D. acceptable21．A. value B. desire C. ignore D. deserve22．A. encountered B. joined C. attracted D. amused23．A. mostly B. fortunately C. barely D. incredibly24．A. ugly B. outstanding C. kind D. different25．A. quitted B. cheated C. rejected D. failed26．A. follow B. permit C. request D. persuade27．A. pole B. cloth C. finger D. device28．A. insisted B. questioned C. argued D. wondered29．A. plugging B. taking C. catching D. breaking30．A. bent B. folded C. stuck D. backed31．A. desperately B. softly C. loudly D. coldly四、短文填空32．The Space-Time Painter, written by Chinese writer Hai Ya, has won the Hugo Award for Best Novelette at the 81st World Science Fiction Convention, ①________(hold) in Chengdu on October 18th to 23rd, 2023.

四川省成都市名校2022-2023学年高三上期期末考试英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解New Stories Await Just for YouThe Origin of DiseaseCarolyn Merchant, JD & Christopher Merchant, MDContaining exciting information and thought, this book could help people find ways to improve or avoid diseases that can dramatically change lives. Pulling medical knowledge together in an original way, it provides a new vision for understanding chronic(慢性的) disease, and challenges readers to think of chronic disease based on the root causes. For many people, medical books can be a hard barrier to jump. but this book is written in an accessible style and format, and contains information useful to the lay person, not just medical professionals.From Healing to HellW. H. Wall, JrFrom Healing to Hell is about the fall of a good and decent man and goes further to reveal the shocking details of how he was done a cruel injustice at the hands of a CIA government experiment with the drug LSD．The book tells the story of illegal activity by officials in power who operated in the name of protecting the country.The Stuff of MonumentsRichard A．CrouseyLittle things occur regularly, forbidding us to recognize their significance. What finally causes them to blossom into sweetness is their fading away. Through the stories in the book, it is shown that the seasons of our lives are made up of the stuff that went before. Nothing is truly lost. As one picture begins to fade, another begins to dawn.There Are No Monsters HereBuffy BrinkleyA little boy is afraid to go to bed when his mother announces his bedtime. He believes there may be monsters hiding in his room. However, his fear doesn’t stop him from trying to find them. What his decision creates is a doorway to acceptance and friendship. Out of fearcomes delight, and the idea that what we see and how we initially judge a situation can be wrong——that what it takes to overcome our fears can sometimes be the best way to make a friend.1．Who are the targeted readers of the book The Origin of Disease?A．Students preferring challenges.B．People caring about their health.C．Researchers in the chemistry lab.D．Doctors in the emergency room.2．Which book is most likely to be a collection of short stories?A．The Origin of Disease.B．From Healing to Hell.C．The Stuff of Monuments.D．There Are No Monsters Here.3．What brings the boy friendship in the last book?A．His innocence.B．His fear.C．His courage.D．His creativity.I enjoy throwing stuff away. I’d love to go full minimalism (极简主义), but my wife and two kids do not share my dream of a house with almost nothing in it. I have tried. When the kids were little, I taught them my favorite games-“Do We Need It?” and “Put It in Its Place”-and made them play every month. Their enthusiasm never matched mine.To be honest, my own tidying skills are not as great as I’d like. My abandoned pile is never what I want because I make up excuses for why things are useful. I consider this unhealthy. I want to be better at moving on.So, this time I found help-the classic for people like me: The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up, by Marie Kondo. Kondo’s philosophy is only to keep things you love. Can I go full Kondo? I will try. One central idea is to clean by category. You collect all clothes. Next, hold each item and ask if it brings you joy. And that’s how I find myself with all my clothes on my bedroom floor. My wife walks by and gives me a look saying I’m crazy.Near the bottom of this chaos is my special jacket. I haven’t worn it in about 30 years.Somehow, it has survived. Now, has its time come? There is a tear just below the collar that widens as I hold it. Will I ever wear it again? Not a chance. Does it bring me joy? Actually, yes. At this moment, my daughter walks in. She asks about the jacket. I tell her the story. She thinks I should keep it. It’s unique and full of memories. She is arguing that nostalgia is the very reason.I’m not entirely convinced by my daughter. I believe in looking ahead, not backward. Nevertheless, sometimes it’s hard to let go. So I gently place the jacket on the “keep” pile. 4．What can we learn about the author’s family members from Paragraph 1?A．They don’t understand what the author insists on.B．They completely support what the author does.C．They are less passionate about full minimalism.D．They are strongly opposed to full minimalism.5．What drives the author to read The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up?A．To learn how to categorize.B．To improve his tidying skills.C．To persuade his family members.D．To develop a passion for minimalism.6．Why does the author’s daughter think he should keep the jacket?A．It bears some memories.B．It is in good condition.C．He likes to wear special jackets.D．It belongs to the “jackets” category. 7．What is the text mainly about?A．The importance of categorizing skills.B．An inspiration coming from a book.C．The author’s efforts to go minimalism.D．The changes brought by minimalism.After serving as a backup crew member for 24 years, Chinese taikonaut Deng Qingming’s dream finally came true—he performed his first space mission onboard the Shenzhou XV spaceship along with two other astronauts on Nov. 29.Deng is the last one of the country’s first group of 14 astronauts to be sent into space. The name of Deng, 56 years old, was not known by many people until China launched the Shenzhou XIII spaceship in October last year. The story of the veteran (老战士) whorelentlessly pursued his space dream despite serving as a backup for years moved many, and for which he was praised as a “hidden hero”.In 1996, Deng began to take part in the PLA Air Force’s selection of astronaut candidates and was finally selected with another 13 aviators. In the following years, Deng dedicated almost all of his time to training and has spared no efforts to strive for an opportunity to fly into space. He was a backup crew member for the Shenzhou IX, X and XI, XII missions.“Being a backup doesn’t mean you don’t need to work. I must watch closely in the control center and offer all I know about the mission and the spacecraft in case of emergency,” Deng said during a previous interview. “Only when the crew returns to Earth will my mission be complete”.When training for Shenzhou XI mission carried out in 2016, Deng was confined in a spacecraft simulator no bigger than 10 square meters for 33days. They had no showers and endured loud noise and piercing light as they tried to sleep.No matter how difficult the road to space flight is, Deng never once thought of giving up. He was awarded the title “Role Model of the Times” by the Publicity Department of the Communist Party of China Central Committee in 2018.“Be it a crew or a backup, it is the job. And the success of the mission comes before my personal wishes,” Deng once said.8．What can we know about Deng Qingming?A．He belongs to the latest group of China’s astronauts.B．He will perform his first space mission onboard alone.C．His story wasn’t revealed to the public until last year.D．He was a backup crew member for no more than 20 years.9．What did Deng need to do as a backup?A．Test the spacecraft simulator and record the reaction.B．Give orders in the control center in case of emergency.C．Monitor astronauts’ training for on-coming space missions.D．Keep an eye on the on-going mission and provide assistance.10．Which words can best describe Deng?A．Determined and devoted.B．Creative and ambitious.C．Talented and distinguished.D．Hardworking and honest.C．An attractive habit.D．An obvious advantage.13．Why is the song John, John, John mentioned in Paragraph 3?A．To show that the song was widely spread.B．To show that John was a child everyone liked.C．To show that the name John was too overexposed.D．To show that the name John was something quite new.14．What caused the profound shift of naming kids in America?A．The larger family sizes and less labor for children.B．Parents’ concerns about the novelty and distinctiveness.C．Some books showing which names are appropriate for children.D．The changes in daily life and the access to the naming trend.15．What’s the author’s attitude towards the profound shift of naming kids in America?A．Doubtful.B．Optimistic.C．Ambiguous.D．Indifferent.二、七选五三、完形填空四、用单词的适当形式完成短文五、短文改错51．假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文，请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。
