18．（6分）Who do you think the greatest teacher is in Chinese history？Many people would think of Confucius，whose birthday was September 28.Although he lived over 2，000 years ago，people still remember and respect him for his contribution to the education today.
Confucius lived in the Kingdom of Lu，which lies in Shandong Province.He lived during the Spring and Autumn Period.He had a hard childhood.His father died when he was only 3.His mother brought him up.As a child，he had to work to help his mother，but young Confucius didn't give up studying.He visited many famous teachers and learned music，history，poetry and sports.
Later，he became a teacher and started the first public school in Chinese history.At that time only children from noble families could go to school，but Confucius believed everyone should go to school if they wanted to learn.He had about 3，000 students in his lifetime.
Today，people still follow Confucius' lessons.He told us that we all have something worthy to be learned. "When I am with three people，one of them must be better than me in some areas.I choose their good qualities and follow them."
He also taught us that thinking is very important in study. "All study but no thinking makes people puzzled （困惑的）.All thinking but no study makes people lazy."
Confucius is not only a great teacher，but also a famous thinker with wise thoughts about the world and society.His most important teachings are about kindness and good manners. "A person should be strict with himself，but be kind to others." he said.

19．（8分）Yellow is the colour of sunshine.It has something to do with joy，happiness，and energy.Light yellow is also associated with （和……有关） freshness.Yellow gives us warming feelings，encourages cheerfulness and mental activity，and creates muscle （体力） energy.Yellow is often associated with food.Bright yellow can get more attention than other colors.That's why taxis are painted this color.When overused，yellow may make people disturbed（不安的）；it is known that babies cry more in yellow rooms.Yellow is seen before other colors when it is put against black；this way is often used to give a warning.In some big events，yellow represents honor （荣誉） and loyalty.Also，the meaning of yellow is connected with weakness.
People use yellow to call up pleasant，cheerful feelings.They can choose yellow to help sell children's products （产品）.Yellow is very useful for catching attention，so people can use it to highlight the most important part of a design.However，men usually think of yellow as a very joyful，childish color，so it is not recommended to use yellow when selling famous，expensive products to men.Nobody will buy a yellow business suit.Yellow is an unstable（不稳定的） color，so try not to use yellow if you want to suggest stability（稳定） and safety.Dark yellow represents warning，sickness and jealousy（嫉妒的）.

20．（10分）Your third year of middle school was probably a tough and busy time.You may have had trouble getting enough sleep.We all know that not getting enough sleep is not good for our health.But it has been found that less sleep could even cause you to have fewer friends.
According to researchers from the University of California，people who don't get enough sleep are less willing to socialize （社交） with others.They are simply too tired to go out.
The researchers did a small study.They tested 18 young people who had just had a good night's sleep – as well as tested them again after a sleepless night.The participants（参加者） watched videos of people with neutral （中性的） expressions walking toward them.When the person on the video got too "close" to them，they pushed a button （按钮） to stop the video，which recorded how close they allowed the person to get.
The results showed that the participants kept the person at a distance of 60 percent further back if they hadn't gotten enough sleep.They felt that their personal space was being invaded （侵占）.But when the participants got a good night's sleep，they allowed the person to get much closer to them.
According to lead researcher Matthew Walker，the less sleep you get，the less you want to socialize with others.In turn，other people may think you are weird and stay away from you.This can make you feel lonely and cause you to sleep even less.It becomes a vicious cycle （恶性循环）.
So if you want to be a more sociable and popular person，sleeping well might help. "One night of good sleep makes you feel more outgoing and socially confident，" Walker told the Daily Mail.
（1）Researchers from the University of California believe that less sleep .
A.makes school life tough and busy

A.The proper distance to keep from others is 60 cm.
B.People don't like sharing their personal space.
C.People are more sociable after a good sleep.
D.Don't get too close to sleepless people.
（5）Mathew Walker would agree that .

21．（10分）Creating a study plan
Studying is important to students.But it is always difficult to find enough time to study every subject you need.So a good plan helps you to make sure of your success in study.
Then，how to make a study plan？Well，you can begin with listing all the subjects you need to study and make sure what you need to do for each subject.Next，you should decide how much time you should spend on different subjects.Now，it is a good idea to study at the same time every day.In this way，you can remember your plan easily.While arranging （安排） time for each subject，you also need to make sure that you still have time for family，friends and rest.This is because you won't be able to succeed in your studies unless you balance your personal life and your study.
Once the plan is made，the next thing you need to do is to follow it.One of the biggest challenges in following your study plan is that you will be tempted （诱惑） to avoid it and do something relaxing，or fun instead.Luckily，you can fight this temptation by taking breaks.But be sure not to take extra breaks or too long breaks as it can affect your plan.So at the start of your break，set an alarm clock to remind you when your break is over.Also，you need to use your break in a wise way.For example，go for a short walk，eat a small snack，or listen to some music.
To avoid forgetting to follow your plan，try to get into the habit of looking at your calendar every day.Sometimes our plans are hard to follow because some important people in our lives distract （使分心） us from our goals.In order to avoid this，tell people in your life about your plan.Put up a copy of your study guide at home so you and your family can see it，and email a copy to your friends so they know when you have spare time.
Creating a study plan
The（1） of a study plan A good study plan is（2） in achieving your success in study.
Making a study plan ●Make a（3） of all the subjects you need to study. ●（4） on the time you will spend on each subject. ●Study at the same time every day，or you will（5） your plan. ●Arrange time for other activities in order to（6） your personal life and your study.

22．（10分）That cold January night，I was growing sick of my life in the city I lived.There I was walking home at one in the morning after a tiring practice at the theater.I was having trouble dealing with my part﹣time job at the bank and my acting at night at the same time.As I walked，I thought seriously about giving up both acting and the life in this awful place.
As I walked down the empty street under tall buildings，I felt very small and cold. "Run！" I told myself and began to do so，both to keep warm and keep away from any possible danger.
About a block from my flat，I heard a noise behind me.I turned quickly，but the street was empty.The noise had made me nervous，so I started to run faster.I didn't realize what the noise had been until I reached my flat.It had been my wallet falling to the street.
I wasn't cold or tired any more.I ran back to where I had heard the noise.Although I searched the street for fifteen minutes，my wallet was nowhere to be found.
Just as I was about to give up the search，I heard a rubbish truck stop next to me.A voice called from the truck driver，"Alisa Camacho？"I thought I was dreaming.How could this man know my name？The door opened and a man jumped out."Is this what you're looking for？" he asked，holding up a small square shape.
It was nearly 3 a.m.by the time I got into bed.I wouldn't get much sleep that night.But I had got my wallet back.I also had got back some enjoyment of city life.

One day，my friend Lisa got on a bus and found the only untaken seat was an orange one.She hesitated（犹豫） for a moment and slowly walked to it and （2）s down.As the bus went on，passengers（乘客） gather from stop to stop and the bus became really crowded（拥挤） .At that time，someone near the door asked loudly if there was anybody who would like to（3）o a seat to the old man who had just got on the bus.On hearing it，Lisa looked （4）a to see where the old man was.She was even about to get up but found it （5）d for her to stand up.Thinking that someone near the old man would help him，she remained （保持） seated.In fact，she had another （6）r for sitting but she said nothing.To her（7）s ，she soon became the target of criticism （批评的目标） from some people standing beside her.

二、单项选择（共15小题，每题1分，计15分）从A、B、C、D四个选项中选出一个可以填入句中空白处的最佳答案。
1．（1分）﹣Girls were born inside pink roses according to ________ European story.
﹣It's ________ great fun.（ ）
A．a；a B．a；不填 C．an，a D．an；不填
【解答】第一个空表示泛指"一个"，European开头发音为辅音音素，故前面用a；fun为不可数名词，因此前面不加冠词。
故选：B。
2．（1分）—Your coat is so clean that it's _________ a new one now.
—Oh，my mother washed it for me.（ ）
A．as well as B．as good as
C．as modern as D．as beautifully as
【解答】as...as和..一样，中间加形容词或者副词的原级，is后面要加形容词作表语，所以AD不对，modern现代的，不符合逻辑。
故选：B。
3．（1分）—How much difficulty will you have ________for Beijing Olympic Winter Games？
—________.We're sure to do it well.（ ）
A．to prepare；Nothing B．to prepare；None
C．preparing；None D．preparing；Nothing
【解答】根据题干，第一空前How much difficulty will you have可知，此空是have difficulty doing sth，表示"做某事有困难"。结合句意可知，此空应填preparing，故排除A和B；第二空，根据一般用来回答how many+n（可数名词）；how much+n（不可数名词）疑问句。none通常可以指人，意为"没有什么人"，有时也可指物，意为"没有任何东西"；而nothing通常指物，并且是泛指。此空应填None。
故选：C。
4．（1分）With the temperature falling，_____flu（流感） _____ COVID﹣19 is paid more attention to in autumn and winter.（ ）
A．either；or B．neither；nor
C．both；and D．not only；but also
【解答】either；or要么……要么……；neither；nor既不也不；both；and两者都；not only；but also不但而且。根据句意随着气温的下降，秋冬季不仅是流感，新冠病毒也备受关注。此处表示不但而且。
故选：D。
5．（1分）﹣﹣﹣I'm not sure ______ you eat vegetables every day.
﹣﹣﹣I know ______ they are good for our health，so I eat them every day.（ ）
A．if；that B．that；if C．that；that D．if；if
【解答】if如果、是否；that那。第一个空，根据I'm not sure"我不确定"可知，应该"是否"每天都吃蔬菜，用if引导宾语从句。第二个空，宾语从句不缺少成分，用that引导，没有实际意义。
故选：A。
6．（1分）He made it ____ for people ____ a happy life by improving the environment.（ ）
A．easy；live B．easier；to live
C．easier；living D．easily；to live
【解答】It is adj.for sb to sth.做某事对于某人来说是……，故第二个空需要使用to do不定式，排除A和C；因为make sb./sth.adj.使某人/某物……，此处第一个空需要填形容词，此处easily为副词，easier为形容词比较级。
故选：B。
7．（1分）I can't connect my mobile phone to WiFi． There must be______ wrong with network．（ ）
A．something B．everything C．anything D．nothing
【解答】考查不定代词。everything表示一切，nothing表示没有什么；表示一些时，something用于肯定句中，anything用于疑问和否定句中，句子是肯定句，结合"I can't connect my mobile phone to WiFi我手机连不上WiFi了"可知一些地方出问题了，用something，故选：A。
8．（1分）Some families would rather ________the walls blue for their children _______ them a feeling of peace．（ ）
A．to paint； give B．paint； give
C．to paint； to give D．paint； to give
【解答】paint"油漆、绘画"是动词原形；它的不定式是 to paint； give "送给、给予"是动词原形；它的不定式是to give．would rather do sth "更愿意做某事"，"由题干"有些家庭宁愿把墙壁漆成蓝色，给孩子们一个平静的感觉．"可知，第一个空格是"油漆、（涂）"用动词原形，因此用paint；第二个空格是"给予"在这里做目的状语，用不定式．因此用to give．所以答案应是paint；to give．
故选：D．
9．（1分）﹣How much work have you finished ______ for the coming exam？
﹣Everything is done． I'm ready for it．（ ）
A．prepared B．preparing
C．to prepare D．to preparing
【解答】根据How much work have you finished ______ for the coming exam，可知考查句型finish doing sth完成某事，这是固定句型．
故选：B．
10．（1分）﹣﹣﹣ Isn't that Ann's husband over there？
﹣﹣﹣No，it __________ be him — I'm sure he doesn't wear glasses.（ ）
A．shouldn't B．can't C．mustn't D．needn't
【解答】shouldn't不应该；can't不可能；mustn't禁止；needn't不需要。根据I'm sure he doesn't wear glass可知人不是安的丈夫，此处表示否定推测，使用can't。
故选：B。

— Really？Let me try.（ ）
A．on；on B．in；in C．in；on D．on；in
【解答】in+颜色，表示穿…颜色的衣服，第二空排除AC；根据题干Purple doesn't look good ________ you，可知是，你穿紫色的衣服在身上不好看，on在…上，故用on。

Confucius lived in the Kingdom of Lu，which lies in Shandong Province.He lived during the Spring and Autumn Period.He had a hard childhood.His father died when he was only 3.His mother brought him up.As a child，he had to work to help his mother，but young Confucius didn't give up studying.He visited many famous teachers and learned music，history，poetry and sports.
Later，he became a teacher and started the first public school in Chinese history.At that time only children from noble families could go to school，but Confucius believed everyone should go to school if they wanted to learn.He had about 3，000 students in his lifetime.
Today，people still follow Confucius' lessons.He told us that we all have something worthy to be learned. "When I am with three people，one of them must be better than me in some areas.I choose their good qualities and follow them."
He also taught us that thinking is very important in study. "All study but no thinking makes people puzzled （困惑的）.All thinking but no study makes people lazy."
Confucius is not only a great teacher，but also a famous thinker with wise thoughts about the world and society.His most important teachings are about kindness and good manners. "A person should be strict with himself，but be kind to others." he said.

D. ④③①②
【解答】（1）B.推理判断题。根据文中"Although he lived over 2，000 years ago，people still remember and respect him for his contribution to the education today."虽然他生活在两千多年前，但人们仍然记得并尊敬他对当今教育的贡献。可见人们记得他是因为是"他对教育有着睿智的思想和伟大的见解"故选B。

（3）A.推理判断题。根据第二段"His father died when he was only 3.His mother brought him up.As a child，he had to work to help his mother，"他父亲在他只有3岁的时候就去世了。他母亲把他抚养成人。作为一个孩子，他不得不工作来帮助他的母亲，第三段"Later，he became a teacher and started the first public school in Chinese history"后来，他成为一名教师，开办了中国历史上第一所公立学校。"He had about 3，000 students in his lifetime"他一生中有大约3000名学生，故选A。
19．（8分）Yellow is the colour of sunshine.It has something to do with joy，happiness，and energy.Light yellow is also associated with （和……有关） freshness.Yellow gives us warming feelings，encourages cheerfulness and mental activity，and creates muscle （体力） energy.Yellow is often associated with food.Bright yellow can get more attention than other colors.That's why taxis are painted this color.When overused，yellow may make people disturbed（不安的）；it is known that babies cry more in yellow rooms.Yellow is seen before other colors when it is put against black；this way is often used to give a warning.In some big events，yellow represents honor （荣誉） and loyalty.Also，the meaning of yellow is connected with weakness.
People use yellow to call up pleasant，cheerful feelings.They can choose yellow to help sell children's products （产品）.Yellow is very useful for catching attention，so people can use it to highlight the most important part of a design.However，men usually think of yellow as a very joyful，childish color，so it is not recommended to use yellow when selling famous，expensive products to men.Nobody will buy a yellow business suit.Yellow is an unstable（不稳定的） color，so try not to use yellow if you want to suggest stability（稳定） and safety.Dark yellow represents warning，sickness and jealousy（嫉妒的）.

D.it's always wise not to buy yellow products
【解答】（1）D.推理判断题。根据it is known that babies cry more in yellow rooms.众所周知，婴儿经常在黄色房间会哭闹。可知，黄色对于让婴儿安静下来是无助的。所以黄色的房间可能有助于保持婴儿的平静和安静，表达是不正确的。故选D。
（2）A.词义猜测题。根据主句Yellow is very useful for catching attention，黄色对于吸引注意是有用的。可推测句子so people can use it to highlight the most important part of a design.句意是所以人们可以用它来突出设计中最重要的部分。因此下划线的单词"highlight"在汉语中可能是强调的意思。故选A。
（3）B.细节理解题。根据They can choose yellow to help sell children's products.他们可以选择黄色来帮助销售儿童产品。所以我们可以选择黄色帮助销售儿童产品。故选B。
（4）C.细节理解题。根据Yellow is very useful for catching attention.黄色对于吸引注意力非常有用。从这篇文章中，我们知道黄色很容易引起人的注意。故选C。
20．（10分）Your third year of middle school was probably a tough and busy time.You may have had trouble getting enough sleep.We all know that not getting enough sleep is not good for our health.But it has been found that less sleep could even cause you to have fewer friends.
According to researchers from the University of California，people who don't get enough sleep are less willing to socialize （社交） with others.They are simply too tired to go out.
The researchers did a small study.They tested 18 young people who had just had a good night's sleep – as well as tested them again after a sleepless night.The participants（参加者） watched videos of people with neutral （中性的） expressions walking toward them.When the person on the video got too "close" to them，they pushed a button （按钮） to stop the video，which recorded how close they allowed the person to get.
The results showed that the participants kept the person at a distance of 60 percent further back if they hadn't gotten enough sleep.They felt that their personal space was being invaded （侵占）.But when the participants got a good night's sleep，they allowed the person to get much closer to them.
According to lead researcher Matthew Walker，the less sleep you get，the less you want to socialize with others.In turn，other people may think you are weird and stay away from you.This can make you feel lonely and cause you to sleep even less.It becomes a vicious cycle （恶性循环）.
So if you want to be a more sociable and popular person，sleeping well might help. "One night of good sleep makes you feel more outgoing and socially confident，" Walker told the Daily Mail.
（1）Researchers from the University of California believe that less sleep C .
A.makes school life tough and busy
B.is good for one's health
C.makes people less sociable
D.causes people to become excited
（2）How did the researchers prove their point？ A
A.They did tests on 18 young people.
B.They watched videos of sleepless people.
C.They interviewed people on the street.
D.They invited people to join in a game.
（3）What does the underlined word weird mean in the passage？
A.Strict.
B.Strange.
C.Friendly.
D.Angry.
（4）What does Paragraph 4 tell us？ C
A.The proper distance to keep from others is 60 cm.
B.People don't like sharing their personal space.

D.Don't get too close to sleepless people.
（5）Mathew Walker would agree that D .
A.people who sleep less are weird
B.loneliness makes people sleep more
C.popular people always sleep well
D.sleeping well makes people confident
【解答】（1）C.细节理解题。根据"According to researchers from the University of California，people who don't get enough sleep are less willing to socialize（社交）with others.They are simply too tired to go out."据加州大学的研究人员称，睡眠不足的人不太愿意与他人交往。他们太累了，不能出去。可知加州大学的研究员认为更少的睡眠使人们更少社交。故选C。
（2）A.细节理解题。根据"The researchers did a small study.They tested 18 young people who had just had a good night's sleep and then tested them again after a sleepless night."研究人员做了一个小研究。他们测试了18个刚刚睡了一个好觉的年轻人，然后在一个不眠之夜之后再次测试他们。可知他们通过测试了18个年轻人证明他们的观点。故选A。
（3）B.词义猜测题。根据According to lead researcher Matthew Walker，the less sleep you get，the less you want to socialize with others.In turn，other people may think you are weird and stay away from you.This can make you feel lonely and cause you to sleep even less.根据首席研究员马修 沃克（Matthew Walker）的说法，你睡得越少，你就越不想与他人交往。反过来，其他人可能会认为你很怪异，远离你。这会让你感到孤独，导致你睡得更少。根据上下文可推测文章中带下划线的单词weird 是"奇怪"的意思。故选B。
（4）C.段落大意题。根据第四段内容"The results showed that the participants kept the person at a distance of 60 percent further back if they hadn'tgot enough sleep.They felt that their personal space was beinginvaded（侵占）.But when the participants got a good night's sleep，they allowed the person to get much closcr to them.结果显示，如果参与者没有得到足够的睡眠，他们会把被试的距离拉近60%。他们觉得他们的私人空间被侵犯了。但当参与者睡了一夜好觉后，他们允许人们离自己更近。可知第四段是在讲睡眠好的人会更好的社交，而睡眠不好的人，人们离自己很近时，他们会觉得自己的私人空间被侵犯。故选C。
（5）D.推理判断题。根据"So if you want to be a more sociable and popula person，sleeping well might help"One night of good sleep makes you fecl more outgoing and socially confident."所以，如果你想成为一个更善于交际、更受欢迎的人，睡个好觉可能会有帮助。一夜好眠会让你更外向，在社交上更自信。所以可推测马修 沃克同意睡得好让人变得自信。故选D。

21．（10分）Creating a study plan
Studying is important to students.But it is always difficult to find enough time to study every subject you need.So a good plan helps you to make sure of your success in study.
Then，how to make a study plan？Well，you can begin with listing all the subjects you need to study and make sure what you need to do for each subject.Next，you should decide how much time you should spend on different subjects.Now，it is a good idea to study at the same time every day.In this way，you can remember your plan easily.While arranging （安排） time for each subject，you also need to make sure that you still have time for family，friends and rest.This is because you won't be able to succeed in your studies unless you balance your personal life and your study.
Once the plan is made，the next thing you need to do is to follow it.One of the biggest challenges in following your study plan is that you will be tempted （诱惑） to avoid it and do something relaxing，or fun instead.Luckily，you can fight this temptation by taking breaks.But be sure not to take extra breaks or too long breaks as it can affect your plan.So at the start of your break，set an alarm clock to remind you when your break is over.Also，you need to use your break in a wise way.For example，go for a short walk，eat a small snack，or listen to some music.
To avoid forgetting to follow your plan，try to get into the habit of looking at your calendar every day.Sometimes our plans are hard to follow because some important people in our lives distract （使分心） us from our goals.In order to avoid this，tell people in your life about your plan.Put up a copy of your study guide at home so you and your family can see it，and email a copy to your friends so they know when you have spare time.

22．（10分）That cold January night，I was growing sick of my life in the city I lived.There I was walking home at one in the morning after a tiring practice at the theater.I was having trouble dealing with my part﹣time job at the bank and my acting at night at the same time.As I walked，I thought seriously about giving up both acting and the life in this awful place.
As I walked down the empty street under tall buildings，I felt very small and cold. "Run！" I told myself and began to do so，both to keep warm and keep away from any possible danger.
About a block from my flat，I heard a noise behind me.I turned quickly，but the street was empty.The noise had made me nervous，so I started to run faster.I didn't realize what the noise had been until I reached my flat.It had been my wallet falling to the street.
I wasn't cold or tired any more.I ran back to where I had heard the noise.Although I searched the street for fifteen minutes，my wallet was nowhere to be found.
Just as I was about to give up the search，I heard a rubbish truck stop next to me.A voice called from the truck driver，"Alisa Camacho？"I thought I was dreaming.How could this man know my name？The door opened and a man jumped out."Is this what you're looking for？" he asked，holding up a small square shape.

18．（6分）Who do you think the greatest teacher is in Chinese history？Many people would think of Confucius，whose birthday was September 28.Although he lived over 2，000 years ago，people still remember and respect him for his contribution to the education today.
Confucius lived in the Kingdom of Lu，which lies in Shandong Province.He lived during the Spring and Autumn Period.He had a hard childhood.His father died when he was only 3.His mother brought him up.As a child，he had to work to help his mother，but young Confucius didn't give up studying.He visited many famous teachers and learned music，history，poetry and sports.
Later，he became a teacher and started the first public school in Chinese history.At that time only children from noble families could go to school，but Confucius believed everyone should go to school if they wanted to learn.He had about 3，000 students in his lifetime.
Today，people still follow Confucius' lessons.He told us that we all have something worthy to be learned. "When I am with three people，one of them must be better than me in some areas.I choose their good qualities and follow them."
He also taught us that thinking is very important in study. "All study but no thinking makes people puzzled （困惑的）.All thinking but no study makes people lazy."
Confucius is not only a great teacher，but also a famous thinker with wise thoughts about the world and society.His most important teachings are about kindness and good manners. "A person should be strict with himself，but be kind to others." he said.

People use yellow to call up pleasant，cheerful feelings.They can choose yellow to help sell children's products （产品）.Yellow is very useful for catching attention，so people can use it to highlight the most important part of a design.However，men usually think of yellow as a very joyful，childish color，so it is not recommended to use yellow when selling famous，expensive products to men.Nobody will buy a yellow business suit.Yellow is an unstable（不稳定的） color，so try not to use yellow if you want to suggest stability（稳定） and safety.Dark yellow represents warning，sickness and jealousy（嫉妒的）.

20．（10分）Your third year of middle school was probably a tough and busy time.You may have had trouble getting enough sleep.We all know that not getting enough sleep is not good for our health.But it has been found that less sleep could even cause you to have fewer friends.
According to researchers from the University of California，people who don't get enough sleep are less willing to socialize （社交） with others.They are simply too tired to go out.
The researchers did a small study.They tested 18 young people who had just had a good night's sleep – as well as tested them again after a sleepless night.The participants（参加者） watched videos of people with neutral （中性的） expressions walking toward them.When the person on the video got too "close" to them，they pushed a button （按钮） to stop the video，which recorded how close they allowed the person to get.
The results showed that the participants kept the person at a distance of 60 percent further back if they hadn't gotten enough sleep.They felt that their personal space was being invaded （侵占）.But when the participants got a good night's sleep，they allowed the person to get much closer to them.
According to lead researcher Matthew Walker，the less sleep you get，the less you want to socialize with others.In turn，other people may think you are weird and stay away from you.This can make you feel lonely and cause you to sleep even less.It becomes a vicious cycle （恶性循环）.
So if you want to be a more sociable and popular person，sleeping well might help. "One night of good sleep makes you feel more outgoing and socially confident，" Walker told the Daily Mail.

21．（10分）Creating a study plan
Studying is important to students.But it is always difficult to find enough time to study every subject you need.So a good plan helps you to make sure of your success in study.
Then，how to make a study plan？Well，you can begin with listing all the subjects you need to study and make sure what you need to do for each subject.Next，you should decide how much time you should spend on different subjects.Now，it is a good idea to study at the same time every day.In this way，you can remember your plan easily.While arranging （安排） time for each subject，you also need to make sure that you still have time for family，friends and rest.This is because you won't be able to succeed in your studies unless you balance your personal life and your study.
Once the plan is made，the next thing you need to do is to follow it.One of the biggest challenges in following your study plan is that you will be tempted （诱惑） to avoid it and do something relaxing，or fun instead.Luckily，you can fight this temptation by taking breaks.But be sure not to take extra breaks or too long breaks as it can affect your plan.So at the start of your break，set an alarm clock to remind you when your break is over.Also，you need to use your break in a wise way.For example，go for a short walk，eat a small snack，or listen to some music.
To avoid forgetting to follow your plan，try to get into the habit of looking at your calendar every day.Sometimes our plans are hard to follow because some important people in our lives distract （使分心） us from our goals.In order to avoid this，tell people in your life about your plan.Put up a copy of your study guide at home so you and your family can see it，and email a copy to your friends so they know when you have spare time.
Creating a study plan
The（1） of a study plan A good study plan is（2） in achieving your success in study.

If you were a passenger on that bus，would you stand out against her and blame（责怪） her for not giving up her seat？If I hadn't known the story of Lisa's side，I would.However，the truth is：Lisa had just a small（9）o in hospital last week and was in recovery （恢复）.Her doctor had told her to sit instead of （10）s as much as possible.The long bus trip would give her trouble if she stood all the way.

二、单项选择（共15小题，每题1分，计15分）从A、B、C、D四个选项中选出一个可以填入句中空白处的最佳答案。
1．（1分）﹣Girls were born inside pink roses according to ________ European story.
﹣It's ________ great fun.（ ）
A．a；a B．a；不填 C．an，a D．an；不填
【解答】第一个空表示泛指"一个"，European开头发音为辅音音素，故前面用a；fun为不可数名词，因此前面不加冠词。
故选：B。
2．（1分）—Your coat is so clean that it's _________ a new one now.
—Oh，my mother washed it for me.（ ）
A．as well as B．as good as
C．as modern as D．as beautifully as
【解答】as...as和..一样，中间加形容词或者副词的原级，is后面要加形容词作表语，所以AD不对，modern现代的，不符合逻辑。
故选：B。
3．（1分）—How much difficulty will you have ________for Beijing Olympic Winter Games？
—________.We're sure to do it well.（ ）
A．to prepare；Nothing B．to prepare；None
C．preparing；None D．preparing；Nothing
【解答】根据题干，第一空前How much difficulty will you have可知，此空是have difficulty doing sth，表示"做某事有困难"。结合句意可知，此空应填preparing，故排除A和B；第二空，根据一般用来回答how many+n（可数名词）；how much+n（不可数名词）疑问句。none通常可以指人，意为"没有什么人"，有时也可指物，意为"没有任何东西"；而nothing通常指物，并且是泛指。此空应填None。
故选：C。
4．（1分）With the temperature falling，_____flu（流感） _____ COVID﹣19 is paid more attention to in autumn and winter.（ ）

A．if；that B．that；if C．that；that D．if；if
【解答】if如果、是否；that那。第一个空，根据I'm not sure"我不确定"可知，应该"是否"每天都吃蔬菜，用if引导宾语从句。第二个空，宾语从句不缺少成分，用that引导，没有实际意义。
故选：A。
6．（1分）He made it ____ for people ____ a happy life by improving the environment.（ ）
A．easy；live B．easier；to live
C．easier；living D．easily；to live
【解答】It is adj.for sb to sth.做某事对于某人来说是……，故第二个空需要使用to do不定式，排除A和C；因为make sb./sth.adj.使某人/某物……，此处第一个空需要填形容词，此处easily为副词，easier为形容词比较级。
故选：B。
7．（1分）I can't connect my mobile phone to WiFi． There must be______ wrong with network．（ ）

8．（1分）Some families would rather ________the walls blue for their children _______ them a feeling of peace．（ ）
A．to paint； give B．paint； give
C．to paint； to give D．paint； to give
【解答】paint"油漆、绘画"是动词原形；它的不定式是 to paint； give "送给、给予"是动词原形；它的不定式是to give．would rather do sth "更愿意做某事"，"由题干"有些家庭宁愿把墙壁漆成蓝色，给孩子们一个平静的感觉．"可知，第一个空格是"油漆、（涂）"用动词原形，因此用paint；第二个空格是"给予"在这里做目的状语，用不定式．因此用to give．所以答案应是paint；to give．
故选：D．
9．（1分）﹣How much work have you finished ______ for the coming exam？
﹣Everything is done． I'm ready for it．（ ）
A．prepared B．preparing

故选：D。

18．（6分）Who do you think the greatest teacher is in Chinese history？Many people would think of Confucius，whose birthday was September 28.Although he lived over 2，000 years ago，people still remember and respect him for his contribution to the education today.
Confucius lived in the Kingdom of Lu，which lies in Shandong Province.He lived during the Spring and Autumn Period.He had a hard childhood.His father died when he was only 3.His mother brought him up.As a child，he had to work to help his mother，but young Confucius didn't give up studying.He visited many famous teachers and learned music，history，poetry and sports.
Later，he became a teacher and started the first public school in Chinese history.At that time only children from noble families could go to school，but Confucius believed everyone should go to school if they wanted to learn.He had about 3，000 students in his lifetime.
Today，people still follow Confucius' lessons.He told us that we all have something worthy to be learned. "When I am with three people，one of them must be better than me in some areas.I choose their good qualities and follow them."
He also taught us that thinking is very important in study. "All study but no thinking makes people puzzled （困惑的）.All thinking but no study makes people lazy."
Confucius is not only a great teacher，but also a famous thinker with wise thoughts about the world and society.His most important teachings are about kindness and good manners. "A person should be strict with himself，but be kind to others." he said.
（1）Today we still remember Confucius mainly because .
A.he lived a poor life in his childhood

D.he lived during the Spring and Autumn Period
（2）The underlined word "noble" in Paragraph 3 has the closest meaning to C .

（3）The correct order of the following statements is A .
①Confucius worked to help his mother as a child.
②Confucius educated about 3，000 students in his lifetime.
③Confucius' father died.
④Confucius started the first public school in Chinese history.
A. ③①④②
B. ②③④①
C. ①③②④
D. ④③①②
【解答】（1）B.推理判断题。根据文中"Although he lived over 2，000 years ago，people still remember and respect him for his contribution to the education today."虽然他生活在两千多年前，但人们仍然记得并尊敬他对当今教育的贡献。可见人们记得他是因为是"他对教育有着睿智的思想和伟大的见解"故选B。
（2）C.词义推测题。根据文中"At that time only children from noble families could go to school，"当时只有﹣﹣﹣家庭的孩子才能上学，根据对历史的了解当时只有贵族和有钱人的孩子才能上学，故选C。
（3）A.推理判断题。根据第二段"His father died when he was only 3.His mother brought him up.As a child，he had to work to help his mother，"他父亲在他只有3岁的时候就去世了。他母亲把他抚养成人。作为一个孩子，他不得不工作来帮助他的母亲，第三段"Later，he became a teacher and started the first public school in Chinese history"后来，他成为一名教师，开办了中国历史上第一所公立学校。"He had about 3，000 students in his lifetime"他一生中有大约3000名学生，故选A。
19．（8分）Yellow is the colour of sunshine.It has something to do with joy，happiness，and energy.Light yellow is also associated with （和……有关） freshness.Yellow gives us warming feelings，encourages cheerfulness and mental activity，and creates muscle （体力） energy.Yellow is often associated with food.Bright yellow can get more attention than other colors.That's why taxis are painted this color.When overused，yellow may make people disturbed（不安的）；it is known that babies cry more in yellow rooms.Yellow is seen before other colors when it is put against black；this way is often used to give a warning.In some big events，yellow represents honor （荣誉） and loyalty.Also，the meaning of yellow is connected with weakness.
People use yellow to call up pleasant，cheerful feelings.They can choose yellow to help sell children's products （产品）.Yellow is very useful for catching attention，so people can use it to highlight the most important part of a design.However，men usually think of yellow as a very joyful，childish color，so it is not recommended to use yellow when selling famous，expensive products to men.Nobody will buy a yellow business suit.Yellow is an unstable（不稳定的） color，so try not to use yellow if you want to suggest stability（稳定） and safety.Dark yellow represents warning，sickness and jealousy（嫉妒的）.
（1）Which of the following is Not True？ D
A.Yellow can make people cheerful and energetic.
B.Too much yellow is not good for babies' growth.

A.men are interested in expensive yellow things including yellow clothes
B.yellow can be used to describe a brave man
C.yellow catches a person's attention easily
D.it's always wise not to buy yellow products
【解答】（1）D.推理判断题。根据it is known that babies cry more in yellow rooms.众所周知，婴儿经常在黄色房间会哭闹。可知，黄色对于让婴儿安静下来是无助的。所以黄色的房间可能有助于保持婴儿的平静和安静，表达是不正确的。故选D。
（2）A.词义猜测题。根据主句Yellow is very useful for catching attention，黄色对于吸引注意是有用的。可推测句子so people can use it to highlight the most important part of a design.句意是所以人们可以用它来突出设计中最重要的部分。因此下划线的单词"highlight"在汉语中可能是强调的意思。故选A。
（3）B.细节理解题。根据They can choose yellow to help sell children's products.他们可以选择黄色来帮助销售儿童产品。所以我们可以选择黄色帮助销售儿童产品。故选B。
（4）C.细节理解题。根据Yellow is very useful for catching attention.黄色对于吸引注意力非常有用。从这篇文章中，我们知道黄色很容易引起人的注意。故选C。
20．（10分）Your third year of middle school was probably a tough and busy time.You may have had trouble getting enough sleep.We all know that not getting enough sleep is not good for our health.But it has been found that less sleep could even cause you to have fewer friends.
According to researchers from the University of California，people who don't get enough sleep are less willing to socialize （社交） with others.They are simply too tired to go out.
The researchers did a small study.They tested 18 young people who had just had a good night's sleep – as well as tested them again after a sleepless night.The participants（参加者） watched videos of people with neutral （中性的） expressions walking toward them.When the person on the video got too "close" to them，they pushed a button （按钮） to stop the video，which recorded how close they allowed the person to get.
The results showed that the participants kept the person at a distance of 60 percent further back if they hadn't gotten enough sleep.They felt that their personal space was being invaded （侵占）.But when the participants got a good night's sleep，they allowed the person to get much closer to them.
According to lead researcher Matthew Walker，the less sleep you get，the less you want to socialize with others.In turn，other people may think you are weird and stay away from you.This can make you feel lonely and cause you to sleep even less.It becomes a vicious cycle （恶性循环）.
So if you want to be a more sociable and popular person，sleeping well might help. "One night of good sleep makes you feel more outgoing and socially confident，" Walker told the Daily Mail.
（1）Researchers from the University of California believe that less sleep C .
A.makes school life tough and busy
B.is good for one's health
C.makes people less sociable
D.causes people to become excited
（2）How did the researchers prove their point？ A
A.They did tests on 18 young people.
B.They watched videos of sleepless people.
C.They interviewed people on the street.
D.They invited people to join in a game.
（3）What does the underlined word weird mean in the passage？
A.Strict.
B.Strange.
C.Friendly.
D.Angry.
（4）What does Paragraph 4 tell us？ C
A.The proper distance to keep from others is 60 cm.
B.People don't like sharing their personal space.
C.People are more sociable after a good sleep.
D.Don't get too close to sleepless people.
（5）Mathew Walker would agree that D .
A.people who sleep less are weird
B.loneliness makes people sleep more
C.popular people always sleep well
D.sleeping well makes people confident
【解答】（1）C.细节理解题。根据"According to researchers from the University of California，people who don't get enough sleep are less willing to socialize（社交）with others.They are simply too tired to go out."据加州大学的研究人员称，睡眠不足的人不太愿意与他人交往。他们太累了，不能出去。可知加州大学的研究员认为更少的睡眠使人们更少社交。故选C。
（2）A.细节理解题。根据"The researchers did a small study.They tested 18 young people who had just had a good night's sleep and then tested them again after a sleepless night."研究人员做了一个小研究。他们测试了18个刚刚睡了一个好觉的年轻人，然后在一个不眠之夜之后再次测试他们。可知他们通过测试了18个年轻人证明他们的观点。故选A。
（3）B.词义猜测题。根据According to lead researcher Matthew Walker，the less sleep you get，the less you want to socialize with others.In turn，other people may think you are weird and stay away from you.This can make you feel lonely and cause you to sleep even less.根据首席研究员马修 沃克（Matthew Walker）的说法，你睡得越少，你就越不想与他人交往。反过来，其他人可能会认为你很怪异，远离你。这会让你感到孤独，导致你睡得更少。根据上下文可推测文章中带下划线的单词weird 是"奇怪"的意思。故选B。
（4）C.段落大意题。根据第四段内容"The results showed that the participants kept the person at a distance of 60 percent further back if they hadn'tgot enough sleep.They felt that their personal space was beinginvaded（侵占）.But when the participants got a good night's sleep，they allowed the person to get much closcr to them.结果显示，如果参与者没有得到足够的睡眠，他们会把被试的距离拉近60%。他们觉得他们的私人空间被侵犯了。但当参与者睡了一夜好觉后，他们允许人们离自己更近。可知第四段是在讲睡眠好的人会更好的社交，而睡眠不好的人，人们离自己很近时，他们会觉得自己的私人空间被侵犯。故选C。
（5）D.推理判断题。根据"So if you want to be a more sociable and popula person，sleeping well might help"One night of good sleep makes you fecl more outgoing and socially confident."所以，如果你想成为一个更善于交际、更受欢迎的人，睡个好觉可能会有帮助。一夜好眠会让你更外向，在社交上更自信。所以可推测马修 沃克同意睡得好让人变得自信。故选D。

21．（10分）Creating a study plan
Studying is important to students.But it is always difficult to find enough time to study every subject you need.So a good plan helps you to make sure of your success in study.
Then，how to make a study plan？Well，you can begin with listing all the subjects you need to study and make sure what you need to do for each subject.Next，you should decide how much time you should spend on different subjects.Now，it is a good idea to study at the same time every day.In this way，you can remember your plan easily.While arranging （安排） time for each subject，you also need to make sure that you still have time for family，friends and rest.This is because you won't be able to succeed in your studies unless you balance your personal life and your study.
Once the plan is made，the next thing you need to do is to follow it.One of the biggest challenges in following your study plan is that you will be tempted （诱惑） to avoid it and do something relaxing，or fun instead.Luckily，you can fight this temptation by taking breaks.But be sure not to take extra breaks or too long breaks as it can affect your plan.So at the start of your break，set an alarm clock to remind you when your break is over.Also，you need to use your break in a wise way.For example，go for a short walk，eat a small snack，or listen to some music.
To avoid forgetting to follow your plan，try to get into the habit of looking at your calendar every day.Sometimes our plans are hard to follow because some important people in our lives distract （使分心） us from our goals.In order to avoid this，tell people in your life about your plan.Put up a copy of your study guide at home so you and your family can see it，and email a copy to your friends so they know when you have spare time.
