Participating in such events is a great way to learn about school facilities and understand campus culture：What do students do for fun？What are their favorite classes？What is thehistory of your university It can help you observe campus life outside the classroom. Exploring CampusGetting to know where essential campus resources are-such as the student advising center,psychological services,and the tutoring center-will make your first few weeks on campus a lot easier,because you won't have to look for them while still getting used to your classes.Take some time to check out the buildings where your classes will be held.This will prevent you from getting lost in the first few days of classes,and familiarize you with how long it takes to get from place to place.If you're worried about taking classes one after another in different buildings,a quick test run won't hurt.That way,you will avoid potential time delays in getting to your classes.Starting a RoutineBefore getting too excited about all of the fun things you will be able to do during the week,remember that you do have a pretty big schedule change coming up.Starting classes means being in different places at different times,so it's a great idea to start getting used to that routine right this week.What helps you most is to schedule your sleep.Following the planned time will ensure you have enough sleep to get to those early classes and stay wide awake.If you have other daily routines,such as exercising or talking on the phone with family,work those into your day-to-day life before classes start so that you get a better idea of how they fit in with your schedule.16.By participating in campus welcome activities,freshmen can ______ .A. learn about campus cultureB. get their course scheduleC. have a physical examinationD. take an entrance test17.Why are freshmen advised to have a quick test run between buildings？______A. To see how many facilities they can use.B. To avoid being late for future classes.C. To help those getting lost on campus.D. To practice running on their way to class.18.When is it best for freshmen to start getting used to the new routine？______A. On the first day of their classes.B. Before the orientation week.C. After their first-day classes.D. During the orientation week.19.What does the author suggest freshmen do to stay focused in class？______A. Take physical exercise before class.B. Leave their phones powered off.C. Take early classes every day.D. Keep to the sleep schedule.20.What is the author's purpose in writing this passage______A. To offer some tips on making an easier start at college.B. To remind freshmen about the first day of school.C. To help freshmen organize campus activities.D. To share his college experience with the reader.BWhen people ask me how I started writing,I find myself describing an urgent need that I felt to work with language.Having said that,I did not know for a long time what I was looking for.It was not until I followed this feeling to its source that I discovered I had a passion for writing.With some encouragement from my colleagues,I had one of my poems published.This bit of success,however,was the point where my problem began.Back in 1978，I had to travel between three different campuses in the morning,teaching freshman composition.Afternoons I spent taking my daughter to her ballet and horse-riding lessons.I composed my lectures on the way,and that was all the thinking time I had.When I returned home,there was not enough of me left for writing after a full working day.As a way out,I decided to get up two hours before my usual time.My alarm was set for 5：00 A.M.The first day I shut it off because I had placed it within arm's reach.The second day I set two clocks,one on my night table,and one out in the hallway.I had to jump out of bed and run to silence it before my family was awoken.This was when my morning writing began.Since that first morning in 1978，I have been following the habit to this day,not making or accepting many excuses for not writing.I wrote my poems in this manner for nearly ten years before my first book was published.When I decided to write a novel,I divided my two hours：the first for poetry,the second for fiction.Well or badly,I wrote at least two pages a day.This is how my novel,The Line of the Sun.was finished.If I had waited to have the time,I would still be waiting to write my novel.What I got out of getting up in the dark to work is the feeling that I am in control.For many people,the initial sense of urgency to create easily dies away because it requires making the tough decision：taking the time to create,stealing it from yourself if ifs the only way.21.What motivated the author to start her writing career？______A. Her strong wish to share.B. Her keen interest in writing.C. Her urgent need to make a living.D. Her passionate desire for fame.22.What problem did the author face when she decided to begin her writing______A. She was too exhausted to write after a busy day.B. She had trouble in deciding on her writing style.C. She had to take time to discipline her daughter.D. She was unsure about her writing skills.23.Why did the author place an alarm clock in the hallway？______A. In case the clock in her room broke down.B. In case she failed to hear the ringing.C. To force herself out of bed.D. To wake up her family.24.How did the author manage to finish her novel______A. By sticking to writing every morning.B. By writing when her mind was most active.C. By drawing inspirations from classic novels.D. By reducing her teaching hours at school.25.What can we learn from the author's success in her writing career？______A. It is never too late to change your job.B. Imaginative ideas die away if not taken in time.C. A tight schedule is no excuse for lack of action.D. Daily life provides ideas for creative writing.CIn the fictional worlds of film and TV，artificial intelligence（AI）has been described as so advanced that it is indistinguishable from humans.But what if we're actually getting closer to a world where AI is capable of thinking and feelingTech company UneeQ is heading for its "digital humans"，which appear life like on the screen not only in terms of language,but also because of facial movements：raised eyebrows,a smile,even a nod.They look close to a human,but not quite.What lies beneath UneeQ's digital humans？Their 3 D faces are modeled on actual human features.Speech recognition enables them to understand what a person is saying,and natural language processing is used to work out a response.Meanwhile,another AI company,Soul Machines,is taking a more biological approach,with a "digital brain"，that imitates aspects of the human brain to adjust the emotions "felt" and "expressed" by its "digital people". Shiwali Mohan,an AI scientist at the Palo Research Center,is skeptical of these digital beings. "They're humanlike in their looks and the way they sound,but that in itself is not being human," she says. "Human qualities also involve how you think,how you approach problems,and how you break them down；and that takes a lot of algorithmic （算法）design.Designing for human-level intelligence is a different attempt than designing images that behave like humans." She then continues,"If something looks like a human,we have high expectations of them,but they might behave differently in ways that humans just instinctively （直觉地）know how other humans react."Yet the demand is there,with UneeQ seeing high adoption of its digital employees across the financial,health care,and commercial sectors （行业）. "Unless these sectors make their business models much more efficient digitally,they might be left behind," says Chetan Dube,UneeQ's CEO.Some other companies are taking their digital beings a step further,enabling organizations and individuals to create digital humans themselves using free-access platforms they provide. "The biggest motivation for such platforms is to popularize AI，" Dube says.Mohan is cautious about this approach,yet she supports the purpose behind these digital beings and is optimistic about where they are headed. "As we develop more advanced AI technology,we would then have to use new ways of communicating with that technology," she says. "Hopefully,all of that is designed to support humans in their goals."26.According to Para.2，in what respect（s）do UneeQ's "digital humans" resemble humanbeings______A. In the way they move around.B. In the way they act and react.C. In observation and analysis.D. In speech and facial expressions.27.Soul Machines' digital brain is a technological breakthrough because it ______ .A. learns to make proper emotional responsesB. tends to imitate human beings' tone vividlyC. recognizes the speech sounds it receivesD. processes the natural language it hears28.In Mohan's opinion,what human quality is lacking in digital beings______A. Calculating brain.B. Language skills.C. Instinctive judgements.D. Problem-solving ability.29.What makes many sectors employ digital humans？______A. The fear of falling behind in efficiency.B. The urgency to promote e-commerce.C. The wish to spread digital technology.D. The need to upgrade the health care system.30.What does Mohan think of the future of digital beings？______A. It's well planned.B. It is promising.C. It is uncertain.D. It's quite hopeless.DArt is everywhere.Any public space has been carefully designed by an artistic mind to be both functional and beautiful.Why,then,is art still so widely considered to be "the easy subject" at school,insignificant to wider society,a waste of time and effortArt can connect culture with commercial products in a way that not many other things can；art generates money and holds significant emotional and cultural value within communities.When people attend a concert,they are paying for music,sure,maybe even hotel rooms,meals,and transport,but they also gain an incredible experience,a unique atmosphere and a memory that will go through the rest of their lives.People don't just want material things anymore,they want to experience life一the arts are a perfect crossover（交迭）between culture and commerce. Furthermore,the arts can bring communities together,reducing loneliness and making people feel safer.Social bonds are created among individuals when they share their arts experiences through reflection and discussion,and their expression of common values through artworks in honour of events significant to a nation's experience.The arts clearly have a pretty positive impact on physical and psychological health.It is found that people who frequent cultural places or participate in artistic events are more likely to gain good health compared to those who do not；more engagement with the arts is linked to a higher level of people's wellbeing.The Royal Society of Public Health discovered that music and art,when used in hospitals,help to improve the conditions of patients by reducing stress,anxiety and blood pressure.Children who are involved with the arts make greater achievements in their education：those engaged with drama have greater literary ability while others taking part in musical practice exhibit greater skills in math and languages.Kids with preference for the arts have a greater chance of finding employment in the future.Participating in the arts is essential for child development；encouraging children to express themselves in constructive ways could help to form healthy emotional responses in later life.Vital to human life,art is celebrated and used by nations across the world for various purposes.Life without art would be boring and dead still,for art is a part of what makes us human.31.Art products differ from most other commercial products because ______ .A. most people purchase them for collectionB. they are more expensive and less accessibleC. they have both commercial and cultural valuesD. their prices may climb up as time passes32.By sharing their arts experiences,community members can ______ .A. keep the community safe from illnessesB. develop a stronger tie between themC. learn to appreciate their own works of artD. offer honourable solutions to their problems33.What can we learn about people who are involved in artistic activities？______A. They enjoy better living conditions.B. They like to compare themselves with others.C. They are particularly good at both music and art.D. They tend to be healthier physically and mentally.34.How does kids' engagement with the arts benefit them？______A. It promotes their academic performance and emotional growth.B. It gives them more confidence in exhibiting their learning skills.C. It inspires their creativity in designing their future career.D. It helps to make responsible people out of them.35.What is the best title for this passage？______A. How Art Cures Our HeartsB. Art：A Blessing to HumankindC. How Art Benefits CommunitiesD.

"I'm retired,but an artist never retires," Anneke said.

dinner that evening.Since it wasn't dark yet after the meal,I decided to walk home from the restaurant.I had traveled that way before,yet I had never noticed that old little shop.But that night I felt drawn to theviolin shop the moment I came across it.I wiped the dirt from the window to get a better look inside.Several violins hung from the dark walls,quietly waiting to be chosen.As my eyes rested on them,I felt as though I were looking through a window into my own past.My childhood was all about the pursuits I had attempted,most of which had been chosen by Mom.She was like,"Join the swim team,Tara.Your sister is a good swimmer;surely you will be,too."What she refused to acknowledge, however,was that I was visibly afraid of waterEvery Saturday I begged Mom not to make me go to the swim meet,but had little chance of success.That said,with a bang of the starting gun,I would dive into the cold water with all my strength and swim to the other side of the pool as fast as I could,only to find that the other swimmers slid past me.I would have given it up if I had not heard my father's encouraging shouts to cheer me on.When at last my hand would grab the edge of the pool,he would always be there with a warm,dry towel,telling me how proud he was of my desperate efforts.Then came a turning point in my life the day our school orchestra(警弦乐队)visited my class,and gave a demonstration.The drums annoyed me.The flutes(笛子)bored me.But the violin…ah,the violin.It made the swe etest sound Id ever heard!My heart was dancing along with its flowing tune.For the first time in my life,I went so wild with joy.Tightly holding the permission slip from the orchestra director.I ran all the way home after school,and shakily handed it to my parents with a fear that they might dismiss my desire.They didn't.Mom was thrilled to see me finally excited about something,and Dad winked(眨眼示意)at me while eagerly signing the slip.I began practicing the violin with great passion,and rose quickly

event.C.The stories behind the violinsD.Her childhood memory.42.What Dad did for Tara during the swimming competition implies that he isA.mindless and bad-temperedB.caring and supportiveC.strict and demandingD.tolerant and sympathetic43.What fascinated Tara during her school orchestra's demonstration?A.The tune of the flutes.B.The beat of the drums.C.The sound of the violin.D.The manner of the musicians.44.What enabled Tara to win the first seat in the community orchestra?A.The steady improvement in her taste.B.Her strong desire for success.C.Her natural gift for music.D.The rapid progress in her ability.45.What message does Tara's story convey?A.It's never too young to learn.B.A passionate interest works wonders.C.Hard work will pay off in the long run.D.Like mother,like daughter.CGetting the"side-eye"look from your dog can make it seem like they are making a judgement about you,and some new studies suggest they really could beThe ability to judge others'intentions is an indicator of possessing"theory of mind"which was once thought to be unique to humans.However,new studies have shown that dogs can read human behaviour and have a preference to people who are more friendly or generous with food.One such study published in 2023 aimed to see if dogs can tell the difference between humans who are“unwilling"or“unable”to give them a treat.96 dogs were involved in both“unwilling"and"unable”scenarios(情境)designed for the study.Both scenarios involved a dog being placed on one side of a glass screen with small holes in it at nose-height,and an experimenter standing on the other.In the"unwilling'scenario,the experimenter would hang a piece of sausage in front of the screen in a"teasing(戏耍的)manner,and approach one of the holes.But instead of passing it through the hole to the dog,they would then pull it out of its reach.For the unable"scenario,the experimenter would again move the treat towards the hole while the dog watched,but "accidentally"drop it before they could pass it through.The researchers observed that the dogs were much more patient,making more eye contact and staying closer to the screen after the“unable"scenario played out.In the“unwilling”scenario,however,the dogs looked at the experimenter less often,sat,lay down and wandered around more frequently.Another study from 2021 tested for “theory of mind”in dogs in a similar way,but the dogs were able to walk round the screen to obtain the treat after witnessing the experimenter's “unwilling"or“unable”behaviour.The main finding was that the dogs approached the experimenter significantly sooner in the unable scenario than in the unwilling scenario.However,the researchers of the 2023 study challenged that the food dropped on the floor in the clumsy(笨拙的)manner might have motivated the dogs to approach the experimenter considering that they probably often obtain food dropped on the floor in their daily lives.Now,more evidence has been provided that dogs distinguish between similar actions associated with different intentions.But how exactly they acquire such intention-reading abilities will be an exciting topic for future research.46.What is one of the new research findings according to Paragraph 2?A.Dogs also have “theory of mi nd”B.Dogs prefer food from generous people.C.Human behaviours are mostly intentionalD.Friendly animals can get food more easily47.What did the experimenter do in the"unwilling"scenario in the2023 study?A.They acted awkwardly while feeding the dog.B.They pretended to walk slowly away from the dog.C.They teased the dog by fixing the treat to the screen.D.They pulled the sausage beyond the dog's reach.48.How did the dogs of the 2023 study respond to the"unable"behaviour?A.By moving closer to the experimenter.B.By keeping wandering around.C.By ignoring the experimenterD.By lying still on the floor.49.How does the experiment design of the 2021 study differ from that of 2023?A.The dogs can watch the experimenter.B.The dogs can go to the other side of the screen.C.The dogs'responses are under close observationD.The dogs'habitual behaviours are under analysis.50.What do the dogs'different responses in"unwilling"and"unable scenarios"suggest?A.Dogs can tell“being friendly"from“being mean”B.Dogs'i ntelligence is gradually evolving.C.Dogs'intentions can be easily identifiedD.Dogs are a lot more emotional than other animalsDStorytelling is an ancient art form that has been used to hand down legends,tales and factual stories.Perhaps the first thing that springs to mind when you think of storytelling is the fantasy land that took shape in your mind while Mom or Dad told you stories about princes castles and monsters,with a unique voice for each character.Storytelling does not just take place at bedtime or round a campfire,however.It can take some other forms,either via the books we read or the films we watch.But they usually have some elements in common:rather than a list of dry facts,stories have plots and they introduce characters.We respond to stories,particularly when there is emotional detail.And unlike what we suppose,storytelling is not just a form of entertainment,but a form of learning as well.Longbefore reading and writing be-came widely spread and available,oral storytelling had already been a form that the wisdom and knowledge of the people were passed down from elders to children.A good story engages our curiosity, emotions and imagination.Storytelling helps with learning also because stories are easy to remember.Research has found that learning obtained from a well-told story is remembered more accurately,and for far longer,than from facts and figures.And above all,stories have a transformative power to allow us to see the world in a different way than we do if we just encounter it on our own.Stories are an entry point to understanding a different experience of the world.This aspect of storytelling presenting a different perspective of the world is important when it comes to connecting with each other.It gives us an opportunity to learn from another person's experience and it can shape,strengthen or challenge our opinions and values.So,when someone tells us their own personal story,we catch a glimpse(警见)of a view of the world that may be slightly or significantly different from our own.When we see the world as they see it,or walk in their shoes,the experience can in-spire empathy(共情；同理心)with them.51.What occurs to us the moment we think of“storytelling?A.A child's imaginary worldB.Voices of Mom or Dad.C.An ancient art form.D.Factual stories.52.What are the common elements in all forms of storytelling according to the author?A.Form and style.B.Facts and figures.C.Emotional and physical detailsD.A series of events and characters53.Why does storytelling work better than mere statement of facts in promoting learning?A.It carries more wisdom and knowledge.B.It is more widely available to young learners.C.It satisfies our imagination and releases our emotions.D.It makes what is learned more precise and longer lasting54.How can other people's personal stories probably benefit us?A.By offering us more opportunities to know people.B.By helping us stay connected with the contemporary world.C.By allowing us to understand the world the way they see it.D.By enabling us to tell reality from imagination.55.What makes the best title for the passage?A.The History of StorytellingB.The Power of StorytellingC.The Forms of StorytellingD.The Art of

天津2024年高中英语考试真题Tianjin 2024 High School English ExamReading ComprehensionSection A: Multiple ChoiceDirections: Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow.Life Skills Education in SchoolsWith the fast-changing world and the ever-increasing demands of the job market, it is essential for schools to focus not only on academics but also on providing students with life skills education. Life skills are the abilities that help individuals deal effectively with the challenges of everyday life, such as communication, decision making, problem-solving, and interpersonal skills.Incorporating life skills education in schools has numerous benefits. Firstly, it equips students with the practical skills they need to navigate through various situations in life. Secondly, it promotes critical and creative thinking, which are crucial skills in the 21st century. Finally, it prepares students for the real worldby teaching them how to manage their emotions, build healthy relationships, and make responsible decisions.Unfortunately, many schools still focus primarily on academics and overlook the importance of life skills education. It is crucial for educational institutions to recognize the value of teaching life skills and to incorporate them into their curriculum. By doing so, schools can better prepare students for the challenges they will face in their personal and professional lives.1. What are life skills?A. Academic achievementsB. Practical abilities for daily lifeC. Interpersonal conflictsD. Critical thinking skills2. What is one benefit of incorporating life skills education in schools?A. Promoting competition among studentsB. Building healthy relationshipsC. Focusing solely on academicsD. Overlooking the importance of life skills3. Why is it important for schools to teach life skills?A. To create more stress for studentsB. To prepare students for the challenges of the 21st centuryC. To reduce the importance of academicsD. To limit students' creativitySection B: Short AnswerDirections: Read the following passage and answer the questions in complete sentences.Climate Change and Its ImpactsClimate change is a pressing issue that affects every aspect of our lives. Rising temperatures, extreme weather events, and melting ice caps are just some of the visible impacts of climate change. However, its effects go beyond these physical manifestations. Climate change also has serious implications for our health, economy, and society as a whole.One of the key consequences of climate change is the increasing frequency and intensity of natural disasters, such as hurricanes, wildfires, and droughts. These events not only cause immediate damage to infrastructure and livelihoods but also have long-term effects on communities and ecosystems. Inaddition, climate change exacerbates existing social inequalities, as marginalized populations are often the most vulnerable to its impacts.Addressing climate change requires collective action at the global, national, and local levels. Individuals, communities, governments, and businesses all have a role to play in mitigating its effects and adapting to the changing climate. By working together and taking concrete steps to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, we can create a more sustainable and resilient future for generations to come.4. What are some of the visible impacts of climate change?5. How do natural disasters contribute to the effects of climate change?6. What role do individuals, communities, governments, and businesses play in addressing climate change?Section C: Extended ResponseDirections: Read the following prompt and write an essay in response.Prompt: Some people believe that technology has made our lives easier, while others argue that it has made us moredependent and disconnected. What is your opinion on this issue? Use specific examples and reasons to support your argument.Essay:In today's digital age, technology plays a significant role in our lives, shaping how we communicate, work, and interact with the world around us. While it is true that technology has many benefits and has made certain tasks easier and more efficient, it has also led to increased dependency and social disconnection.On the one hand, technology has revolutionized the way we access information, communicate with others, and perform everyday tasks. For example, smartphones allow us to connect with people across the globe instantly, access a wealth of knowledge at our fingertips, and automate various processes to save time and effort. In this sense, technology has undoubtedly made our lives more convenient and productive.On the other hand, the pervasive use of technology has also resulted in a sense of dependency and disconnection from the real world. Many people rely heavily on their devices for entertainment, communication, and even basic functions such as navigation and reminders. This dependency can lead to feelings of isolation, as individuals may prioritize virtual interactions over face-to-face relationships. Moreover, excessive screen time hasbeen linked to various health issues, such as eye strain, sleep disturbances, and reduced physical activity.In conclusion, while technology has undoubtedly improved our lives in many ways, it is important to strike a balance and be mindful of its potential drawbacks. By using technology judiciously, maintaining face-to-face connections, and unplugging from screens regularly, we can enjoy the benefits of technology while also staying connected to the world around us.Word Count: 851Writing SkillsSection A: GrammarDirections: Choose the correct form of the verb to complete each sentence.1.

What is your opinion on this issue? Use specific examples and reasons to support your argument.Essay:In recent years, social media has become an integral part of our daily lives, connecting us to friends, family, and the world atlarge. While social media has many benefits, such as facilitating communication, fostering community, and raising awareness about social issues, it also has negative consequences, including promoting unrealistic standards, spreading misinformation, and contributing to addiction and mental health issues.One of the key advantages of social media is its ability to bring people together and provide a platform for sharing ideas and experiences. Platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter allow users to connect with others, stay informed about current events, and express themselves creatively. Social media has also been instrumental in organizing social movements, raising awareness about important causes, and mobilizing support for charitable initiatives.On the other hand, social media can also have detrimental effects on individuals and society as a whole. The rise of influencer culture has fueled unrealistic beauty standards, materialism, and comparison among users, leading to feelings of inadequacy and low self-esteem. In addition, the spread of fake news, hate speech, and misinformation on social media can have far-reaching consequences, polarizing communities, undermining trust in institutions, and influencing public opinion on critical issues.In conclusion, social media is a powerful tool that can both unite and divide us. While it has the potential to bring about positive change and empower individuals, it is essential to be mindful of its impact and use it responsibly. By promoting digital literacy, critical thinking, and digital well-being, we can harness the benefits of social media while mitigating its negative effects on society.Word Count: 387Overall, the Tianjin 2024 High School English Exam aims to test students' reading comprehension, writing skills, grammar, vocabulary, and listening comprehension.

For most students, it’s the first time they’re living away from home and mana ging their own life. Not surprisingly, adapting to this new lifestyle can be challenging. The following four tips will make high school graduates better prepared for college life.Goal settingWhen setting goals, whether they're academic, career, or personal, re-member they should be attainable but not too easy, so that you really have to push yourself to achieve them, and feel rewarded when you do. Writing down your goals and breaking down each huge, long-term goal into smaller more practical ones can help make it feel more real, and writing out a plan for achieving it can give you a roadmap to success.Interpersonal skillsAt college, you will interact with fellow students, professors, librarians, and many others. Strong interpersonal skills will help you build relationships during this time, and get more out of them. If you feel that your interpersonal skills need some work, practice asking thoughtful questions and listening closely, develop your understanding by putting yourself in someone else's shoes, and enhance your self-confidence.StudyingWith fewer in-class hours and more on-your-own learning, you're required to really digest learning material rather than simply memorize facts. To be successful in college you’ll need to learn how to int egrate large amounts of information obtained through reading, do research, and write pa-pers. Organization is the key, so if you are not someone who is naturally organized, set up your study schedule.BudgetingManaging money is a critical life skill, and for many, it is at college hat they develop it for the first time. Start by estimating your financial ballince. Then give high priority to the expenses on basic needs and determine low much money to set aside every month to cover those costs. Don't for get about savings…and the fun stuff(movies, dinners out), too.36、Who is this passage most probably written for?A. College teachers.B. Universily graduates.C. High school teachers.D. Would-be college students.37、What is the author's suggestion for reaching a huge goal?A. Divide it into smaller, more achievable ones.B. Reward oneself for each goal one has set.C. Purchase a clear, updated roadmap.D. Push oneself to an upper level.38、One of the suggested ways to enhance your interpersonal skills is to _____.A. prepare complicated questionsB. try on someone else's shoesC. listen to others carefullyD. take advantage of others39、What is the key to successful college study according to the author?A. Being well-organized.B. Being well-informed.C. Effective reading skills.D. Reliable research methods.40、To learn how to manage money, the first thing to do is _____.A. save money for financial investmentB. estimate one's income and expensesC. set aside money for fun activitiesD. open a personal bank accountBI'm an 18-year-old pre-medical student, tall and good-looking, with two short story books and quite a number of essays my credit. Why am I singing such praises of myself? Just to explain that he attainment of self-pride comes from a great deal of self-love, and to attain it, one must first learn to accept oneself as one is. That was where my struggle began.Born and raised in Africa，I had always taken my African origin as burden. My self-dislike was further fueled when my family had to relocate to Norway, where I attended a high school. Compared to all the white girls around me, with their golden hair and delicate lips, I, a black girl, had curly hair and full, red lips. My nose often had a thin sheet of sweat on it, whatever the weathe r was. I just wanted to bury myself in my shell crying “I’m so different!”What also contributed to my self-dislike was my occasional stuttering (口吃), which had weakened myself-confidence. It always stood between me and any fine opportunity. I'd taken it as an excuse to avoid any public speaking sessions, and unknowingly let it rule over me.Fortunately, as I grew older, there came a turning point. One day a white girl caught my eye on the school buswhen she suddenly turned back. To my astonishment, she had a thin sheet of sweat on her nose too, and it was in November! “Wow,” I whispered to myself, “this isn't a genetic(遗传的) disorder after all. It's perfectly normal.” Days later, my life took an-other twist(转折). Searching the internet for stuttering cures, I accidentally learned that such famous people as Isaac Newton and Winston Churchill also stuttered. I was greatly relieved and then an idea suddenly hit me—if I'm smart, I shouldn't allow my stuttering to stand between me and my success.Another boost to my self-confidence came days later as I was watching the news about Oprah Winfrey, the famous talkshow host and writer—she's black too! Whenever I think of her story and my former dislike of my color, I'm practically filled with shame.Today, I've grown to accept what I am with pride; it simply gives me feeling of uniqueness. The idea ofself-love has taken on a whole new meaning for me: there's always something fantastic about us, and what we need to do is learn to appreciate it.41、What affected the author's adjustment to her school life in Norway!A. Her appearanceB. Social discrimɪnation.C. Her changing emotions.D. The climate in Norway.42、What did the author's occasional stuttering bring about according on Paragraph 3?A. Her lack of self-confidence.B. Her loss of interest in school.C. Her unwillingness to greet her classmates.D. Her desire for chances to improve herself.43、How did the author feel on noticing the similarity between her and ne girl on the bus?A. Blessed and proud.B. Confused and afraid.C. Amazed and relieved.D. Shocked and ashamed.44、What lesson did the author learn from the cases of Newton and Churchill?A. Great minds speak alike.B. Stuttering is no barrier to success.C. Wisdom counts more than hard work.D. Famous people can't live with their weaknesses.45、What can best summarize the message contained in the passage?A. Pride comes before a fall.B. Where there is a will, there is a way.C. Self-acceptance is based on the love for oneself.D. Self-love is key to the attainment of self-pride.CIs it true that our brain alone is responsible for human cognition(认知)? What about our body? Is it possible for thought and behavior to originate from somewhere other than our brain? Psychologists who study Embodied Cognition(EC) ask similar questions. The EC theory suggests our body is also responsible for thinking or problem-solving. More precisely, the mind shapes the body and the body shapes the mind in equal measure.If you think about it for a moment, it makes total sense. When you smell something good or hear amusing sounds, certain emotions are awakened. Think about how newborns use their senses to understand the world around them. They don't have emotions so much as needs—they don't feel sad, they're just hungry and need food. Even unborn babies can feel their mothers’ heartbeats and this has a calming effect. In the real world，they cry when they're cold and then get hugged. That way, they start to as—sociate being warm with being loved.Understandably, theorists have been arguing for years and still dis-agree on whether the brain is the nerve centre that operates the rest of the body. Older Western philosophers and mainstream language researchers believe this is fact, while EC theorises that the brain and body are working together as an organic supercomputer, processing everything and forming your reactions.Further studies have backed up the mind-body interaction. In one experiment, test subjects(实验对象) were asked to judge people after being handed a hot or a cold drink.They all made warm evaluations when their fingertips perceived warmth rather than coolness. And it works the other way too; in another study, subjects’ fingertip temperatures were measured after being included in or “rejected” from a group task. Those who were included felt physically warmer.For further proof, we can look at the metaphors(比喻说法) that we use without even thinking. A kind and sympathetic person is frequently referred to as one with a soft heart and someone who is very strong and calm in difficult situations is often described as solid as a rock. And this kind of metaphorical use is common across languages.Now that you have the knowledge of mind-body interaction, why not use it? If you're having a bad day, a warm cup of tea will give you a flash of pleasure. If you know you're physically cold, warm up before making any interpersonal decisions.46、According to the author, the significance of the EC theory lies in _____.A. facilitating our understanding of the origin of psychologyB. revealing the major role of the mind in human cognitionC. offering a clearer picture of the shape of human brainD. bringing us closer to the truth in human cognition47、Where does the new borns’ understanding of their surroundings start from?A. Their personal looks.B. Their mental needs.C. Their inner emotions.D. Their physical feelings.48、The experiments mentioned in Paragraph 4 further prove _____.A. environment impacts how we judge othersB. how body temperature is related to healthC. the mind and the body influence each otherD. how humans interact with their surroundings49、What does the author intend to prove by citing the metaphors in Paragraph 5?A. Human speech is alive with metaphors.B. Human senses have effects on thinking.C. Human language is shaped by visual images.D. Human emotions are often compared to natural materials.50、What is the author's purpose in writing the last paragraph?A. To share with the reader ways to release their emotions.B. To guide the reader onto the path to career success.C. To encourage the reader to put EC into practice.D. To deepen the reader's understanding of EC.DRalph Emerson once said that the purpose of life is not to be happy, but to be useful, to be loving, to make some difference in the world. While we appreciate such words of wisdom, we rarely try to follow them in our lives.Most people prefer to live a good life themselves, ignoring their responsibilities for the world. This narrow perception of a good life may provide short-term benefits, but is sure to lead to long-term harm and suffering. A good life based on comfort and luxury may eventually lead to more pain because we spoil our health and even our character, principles, ideals, and relationships.What then, is the secret of a good life? A good life is a process, not a state of being a direction, not a destination. We have to earn a good life by first serving others without any expectation in return because theirhappiness is the very source of our own happiness. More importantly, we must know ourselves inside out. Only when we examine ourselves deeply can we discover our abilities and recognize our limitations, and then work accordingly to create a better world.The first requirement for a good life is having a loving heart. When we do certain right things merely as a duty, we find our job so tiresome that we’ll soon burn out. However, when we do that same job out of love, we not only enjoy what we do, but also do it with an effortless feeling.However, love alone is insufficient to lead a good life. Love sometimes blinds us to the reality. Consequently, our good intentions may not lead to good results. To achieve desired outcome, those who want to do good to others also need to equip themselves with accurate world knowledge. False knowledge is more dangerous than ignorance. If love is the engine of a car knowledge is the steering wheel(方向盘). If the engine lacks power, the car can't move; if the driver loses control of the steering, a road accident probably occurs. Only with love in heart and the right knowledge in mind can we lead a good life.With love and knowledge, we go all out to create a better world by doing good to others. When we see the impact of our good work on the world we give meaning to our life and earn lasting joy and happiness.51、What effect does the narrow perception of a good life have on us?A. Making us simple-mindedB. Making us short-signted.C. Leading us onto a busy road.D. Keeping us from comfort and luxury.52、According to the author, how can one gain true happiness?A. Through maintaining good health.B. By going through pain and suffering.C. By recognizing one's abilities and limitations.D. Through offering help much needed by others.53、According to Paragraph 4, doing certain right things with a loving heart makes one_____.A. less selfishB. less annoyingC. more motivatedD. more responsible54、In what case may good intentions fail to lead to desired results?A. When we have wrong knowledge of the world.B. When our love for the world is insufficient.C. When we are insensitive to dangers in life.D. When we stay blind to the reality.55、According to Paragraph 5, life can be made truly good when _____.A. inspired by love and guided by knowledgeB. directed by love and pushed by knowledgeC. purified by love and enriched by knowledgeD. promoted by love and defined by knowledge四、阅读表达It was a dark and stormy night. The ferocious wind shook the windows wildly, as though someone outside were beating on the glass. It was also New Year's Eve. We were having our annual party and had a house full of people just starting to celebrate.Suddenly, we heard loud explosions. Looking outside and up into the hills, we saw sparks(火花) flying from electrical transformers(变压器). One area after another went dark up in those hills. Then there was the loudest explosion of them all and our house went dark too. I tried to find every candle we had and lit them. The candles made everything look lovely. But we had problems. We had fifteen people standing around and we still had to cook dinner. How would we do that without electricity?The barbecue! Why not cook on the barbecue? We men went outside, some holding flashlights and others cooking. We did a wonderful job. The women stayed inside and got the salads ready. Everything was delicious. There were still a few hours to go before the beginning of the new year, so we all sat around the dining room table and sang up until a few minutes be-fore midnight. We couldn't watch the ball drop in Times Square on television but that wouldn't stop us from celebrating. I stood on a chair and, with the help of someone's watch to tell us the time, we all counted down and I dropped a tennis ball! We all screamed Happy New Year. We didn’t need elec tricity for that!Nowadays, we still get together with the same group to celebrate the New Year and we still talk about that special night. I don't think we have ever laughed so much as we did on that New Year’s Eve.56、What does the underlined word mean in Paragraph 1?

10.（2007天津，2）—Could you turn the TV down a little bit?—_______. Is it disturbing you?A. Take it easyB. I’m sorryC. Not a bitD. It depends[答案] 10.B解析：句意：——请你把电视声音关小点儿好吗？——抱歉，是不是打扰你了？考查情景交际。

Take it easy“别紧张，放松点儿”；not a bit “一点也不，根本不”，相当于not at all；It depends “视情况而定”。

题干含有一个非真实的条件句，使用了虚拟语气，整个句子表示的是现在的情况，所以排除A和B两项；又分析what和discover之间的关系可知是被动关系，所以选D。

2.（2007天津，6）The glass doors have taken the place ofthe wooden ones at the entrance,_______in the natural light during the day.A. to letB. lettingC. letD. having let[答案] 2.B解析：句意：在入口处，玻璃门已取代了木门，这样白天自然光便可照射进来。

A项to let 动词不定式作目的状语时，其前通常不用逗号与主句隔开，作结果状语时常以only/never to do形式出现；C 项let为原形，不能用作状语；D项having let为分词的完成时态，表动作在谓语动词的动作之前已完成，不合题意。

New explorations of the sky are being launched．B. Pollution caused by batteries is being controlled．C. Efforts are being made to make air travel greener．D. Demand for short-haul flights is increasing massively．26.Why is Harbour Air fit for electric flights？A. It runs short routes．B. It has a strong partner．C. Its planes can land on the sea．D. It has planes with powerful engines．27.The expression "added bonus" refers to the fact that electric planes ．A. give passengers more pleasant viewsB. bring airlines more financial benefitsC. offer more enjoyable flying experiencesD. cost less in maintenance than traditional ones28.What might be the biggest challenge of electric flyingA. To improve the ground service for e-planes．B. To find qualified technicians for e-plane industry．C. To calculate the energy needed to power e-planes．D. To balance power and weight of batteries in e-planes．29.What could be done during the transition from gas to electric in air flight？A. To produce new electric components．B. To increase battery consumption．C. To use mixed﹣power technology．D. To expand the landing field．30.What is the authorˈs attitude towards the prospect of electric flying？A. Short-sighted．B. Wait-and-see．C. Optimistic．D. Skeptical．(2021·天津市·历年真题)DStudying a subject that you feel pointless is never a fun or easy task. If you're studying history, asking yourself the question "why is history important" is a very good first step. History is an essential part of human civilization. You will find something here that will arouse your interest, or get you thinking about the significance of history.History grounds us in our roots. History is an important and interesting field of study, and learning the history of our home country can give us a deeper, more meaningful glimpse (一瞥）into our ancestral pasts, and how we got to where we are today. Many people feel like they need a sense of cultural belonging, which is something that studying your roots and being open-minded to the evolution of your culture can provide.History enriches our experience. Reading history is an amazing experience because it enables us to reflect on the social and economic life of the people living long time ago. According to the experts, problems faced by people regardless of the past and present are the same. With the information about the ancestors, one can become more experienced in handling challenges of life.History makes us more empathetic (具有共情能力的）. Studying history can give us insight (洞察力）into why our culture does certain things, and how the past has shaped it into what we know now. It also provides a rather strong foundation for empathy across cultures. Fear and hate for others is usually caused by ignorance (无知）. We're scared of the things that we don't understand. History has the potential to break down those boundaries by offering us insight into entire worlds that would otherwise be foreign to us.History can inspire us to learn more. What's fantastic about history is the way it broadens our horizons. It's almost impossible to learn about one historical period without having dozens of questions about related concepts. Study the 19th century England, and you might catch a glimpse of Charles Dickens' Oliver Twist. Look up Charles Dickens, and you might learn a thing or two about realism. Or maybe you end up switching your attention away from novels, and discover the history of romantic poets in England. It can go anywhere, and there is something in there for absolutely anybody.The value of history cannot be underestimated. We don't have to live in the past, but we can definitely do better by learning from it and using the lessons learnt to lead more meaningful lives.31.The underlined part "where we are today" in Para.2 probably means ．A. the turning point in our historyB. the present state of our nationC. the location of our homelandD. the total area of our country32.According to the experts，why is history useful for people to handle challenges of life？A. The problems at present are similar to those in the past．B. Ancient people laid economic foundations for people today．C. The current challenges of life were predicted by the ancestors．D. People living long time ago knew more about how to solve problems．33.What can be concluded from Para.4？A. It is difficult to get rid of cultural barriers．B. People are willing to accept foreign cultures．C. Cultural conflicts in history are difficult to ignore．D. History helps us improve our cross﹣cultural awareness．34.With the example in Para.5，the writer intends to show that ．A. Charles Dickens contributes much to British literatureB. Oliver Twist can satisfy our curiosity for romantic poetsC. reading novels is a way to learn about a historical periodD. studying history can arouse p eopleˈs interest in other fields35.What could be the best title for the passageA. How to Build Cultural IdentityB. Why Studying History MattersC. Know the Past，Know the PresentD.
